Chapter 108: Preparing to Run
Yin Dehai's downfall also allowed Lin Tian to escape, originally Lin Tian and his gang were on Yin Dehai's list, but he still fell before Yin Dehai made a move. Now the court of the Canghan Empire seems to be dominated by Shangguan Shaowen, and no one understands Emperor Chunyu's intentions, why this arrangement makes one of the two parties in the court suddenly sit big.
In the minds of the courtiers, this is contrary to the previous checks and balances of Emperor Chun. At this time, Situ Shangguan Shaowen was in the limelight, and no one was out of control, and even his former rival Sima Li Chenghua had to avoid a few points.
After the Chengwei Mansion was also in charge of Situ's people, the Chengwei Mansion was really using all its strength to find out the chaotic party. The newly appointed Sikong Ruidong knows why the previous Sikong got such an end, so he is also very concerned about the arrest of the chaotic party without having to be explained by others.
The former city guard government Zhengzhu Hezhi was also implicated and sent to prison for dereliction of duty. The newly appointed Chengwei Mansion is Ruidong's henchman Zhao Hu, Ruidong and Zhao Hu are both from the Inner Chamber, and the Inner Chamberlain is the palace guard. Ruidong was originally the head of the Inner Servant Mansion, capable of literature and martial arts, and it is suitable for him to serve as the position of Sikong now, but Zhao Hu is completely a military general, and he can sit in the position of the head of the Chengwei Mansion because he is determined to follow Ruidong.
Ruidong's explanation, Zhao Hu has always done his best to complete, such as this search for the chaotic party, if there is no Ruidong's idea, I am afraid that the capital will be unpeaceful again.
Ruidong learned the lesson of his predecessor, not only to search for the rebellious party, but also to ensure the stability of the capital. Therefore, I came up with a method, and this time the search for the rebel party was specially designed to carefully check the people who had settled in the imperial capital in recent years. After Liangyimen was wanted that year, the rest of the disciples fled to other places, and now they are recovering in the capital, and they must have only come here in the past two years.
As a result, the targets have been greatly reduced, and all those who have been in the past two years have been carefully examined, and those who cannot say or explain their past experiences will be arrested. This method did work, and the ghost-faced people were really fished out a lot. How can the hands that hold weapons all the year round be the same as the hands of ordinary people, Zhao Hu is also a person who practices martial arts, so he naturally knows which ones are the hands of the weapons.
As more and more disciples were caught, Ghostface couldn't sit still. He found his ally, the Thirteen Princes, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now the thirteenth prince naturally avoids these people with ghost faces, and of course he cooperated with ghost faces because he could benefit from them, and as soon as the prince died, he would have the opportunity to become the crown prince. That's why he cooperated with Ghost Faces to provide them with cover and a place to hide.
Even the Thirteenth Prince, if he wants to absorb the ghost faces, he needs power. He was the youngest prince, and among the remaining princes, only the one behind him was the least powerful, and the only one he could rely on was the people of his mother's family. After the death of the crown prince, the voice of supporting him as the crown prince was the least, he only hated himself for being born a few years late, and was afraid that his own single-handedly planned to make a wedding dress for others.
The thirteenth prince is small and can't help him, and finding the rest of the forces is simply sent to the door, and the ghost face doesn't know where the way out is. After thinking for a long time to no avail, he had to discuss a way out with Lin Tian. In his eyes, Lin Tian has always been resourceful, maybe he can think of a way.
The ghost face came to Lin Tian, always at night. When Ghost Face explained his intention to Lin Tian, "It's not that there is no way?" When the ghost face heard this, he was overjoyed and pleasantly surprised: "What way?" ”
"They will check the living, but not the dead."
"Dead people?"
Lin Tian raised his mouth and smiled, signaling the ghost face to come over, and Lin Tian and the ghost face talked about the plan. "Wonderful, Brother Lin is really witty!" As soon as he heard Lin Tian's plan, the ghost face couldn't help but smile.
"Although you can't get out of the way like this, as long as you go out and bring a few people outside to make some noise, they will definitely believe that you have all escaped. If they want to arrest you again after leaving the capital, it won't be easy! ”
"This is natural, as long as they get out of this city, no matter how great their ability is, they will not want to catch us in the slightest." At this point, the ghost face is very confident, now the ghost face is the fish in the pond in the cage of birds, if out of the city, the sea is wide with the fish jumping, the sky is high for the birds to fly.
The next day, he wanted to go out and do some business. But thinking of the surrounding surveillance, he entrusted Daru to do this, and Daru should not attract attention under the cover of buying groceries. In the afternoon of the same day, Daru came back and told Lin Tian that the incident had been completed. Daru was also very curious, and he didn't know what Lin Tian asked him to do when he went to four coffin shops to order four coffins urgently, and these four shops couldn't be together, the more scattered they were, the better. As for the answer, Daru didn't know it from Lin Tian, and Lin Tian didn't say that he wouldn't ask it.
Two days have passed, and tomorrow should be the agreed time for the coffin to be completed. That night, Lin Tian was in the room thinking about whether to go out of the city and return to Yidi together with this opportunity. But when I think about it, I haven't been in the capital for too long, and I don't seem to have done any business at all, and I don't have an in-depth understanding of the customs here.
Lin Tian still had some thoughts of continuing to stay, they could leave the city at any time, now the city gate was not as strict as before, and they could basically enter and exit normally, but they were checked carefully.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the door, like something slamming the door. Lin Tian, who was in deep thought, was awakened, Lin Tian got up and went to open the door, only to see a flying knife inserted in the door, and a note on the flying knife. Lin Tian took off the note and opened it, only to see that there were only two words on it: Leave quickly.
The meaning of these two words was obviously to let Lin Tian leave here quickly, or leave the city. Lin Tian looked out, it was pitch black, and he didn't find anything, and when he turned around, he found a bag on the ground of the door, which looked a little familiar. Lin Tian picked it up and opened it to see that it was money, and these were paid by Lin Tian to the flower fairy who bought this mansion that day. Lin Tian remembered that he was holding this money bag that day, containing more than a hundred gold coins, and handed it to the flower fairy, which was Lin Tian's money bag.
In an instant, Lin Tian thought that this was the flower fairy sending a message to himself, warning him to leave quickly. Lin Tian knew that the flower fairy had a great background, and it must be because the other party knew what news he would warn himself. Lin Tian hurriedly closed the door, faintly worried in his heart, he didn't know who it was, and because something was not good for him. The moment Lin Tian closed the door, a shadow on the roof outside the house quickly swept away.
A note may not be worth Lin Tianquan's letter, but there is also a bag of gold coins, presumably knowing that Lin Tian has no income recently, this is for Lin Tian to make entanglements. In this way, Lin Tian had to believe that there were indeed people who wanted to be unfavorable to him. Although Lin Tian also has a few masters around him, he can't deal with some unknown dangers at all in other people's territory.
Lin Tian immediately made up his mind, and the day after tomorrow, he would go out of the city with the ghost faces. Before that, he had to communicate with the crowd and then move another place.
Wu Yao, Dalu, the old man and the Chen family sisters and brothers, Lin Tian believes that there will be no problems, only Lan Zi'an Lu Qianqian, the two brothers and sisters, whether they will continue to follow Lin Tian and whether they will cooperate with Lin Tian's plan, Lin Tian does not know.
Lin Tian didn't want them to get involved in this matter, but if Lin Tian and the others left, although they wouldn't go to the informant, they would also be entangled by those who targeted Lin Tian. On weekdays, he and Lan Zi'an call him brother and sister, Lin Tian thinks that he has a responsibility, and he will only say Lan Zi'an and their senior brother and sister, and it is all up to the other party to leave or stay.
After thinking about it for most of the night, Lin Tiancai's eyelids couldn't resist it and fell into a deep sleep. However, Lin Tian woke up after the rooster crowed three times, and found Daru to ask him to see if the coffin shop was finished. After it was done, I rented four different houses and put them on hold.
Daru didn't come back until noon and told Lin Tian that the incident had been done. In the afternoon of the same day, Lin Tian found Wu Yao, Daru Huachi, the old man, and Mannie's sister and brother, and told them that they would return to Yidi tomorrow morning. Everyone was a little surprised, thinking that this was too sudden and too urgent. Immediately, Wu Yao said that they hadn't earned the fare for the return trip, how could they get back?
Lin Tian took out the bag of gold coins and handed it to Wu Yao, Wu Yao had nothing to say after reading it, although she still had some memories here, and was a little confused about Lin Tian's decision, but she didn't say much in front of people.
After the others left, Lin Tian and Wu Yao were in the house, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Wu Yao faintly felt that something was wrong, otherwise Lin Tian would not have made this decision without discussing it with everyone without making a sound beforehand.
For Wu Yao, Lin Tian naturally would not hide it, and Lin Tian told Wu Yao everything. Wu Yao also thought that the warning note was worth believing, it was indeed as Lin Tian said, they had to leave here, and this city could no longer accommodate them. Lin Tian has always been unable to figure out who is going to be unfavorable to herself and others for what reason, this question has always puzzled her.
Lin Tian later found Lan Zi'an and Lu Qianqian and told them that they were going to return to Yidi. Because of something, Lin Tian didn't say anything, only said that they were leaving, and they had seen the world in the imperial city, so it was time to go. The clear-eyed person knew at a glance that what Lin Tian said was superficial, Lu Qianqian chased after Lin Tian and asked, Lin Tian was quite embarrassed, after all, Lin Tian didn't want to deceive the two of them, because they were the two best friends Lin Tian had made in the south.
Lan Zi'an saw Lin Tian's embarrassment, so he didn't ask more, but only said that he would discuss it with Lu Qianqian and give Lin Tian an answer. After all, it was not a simple matter for the two of them to follow Lin Tian to leave their hometown.
"Senior brother, you don't really want to follow Lin Tian to raze the earth!" Lan Zi'an didn't speak, his eyes flickered. "Senior brother, when I saw that kid Lin Tian didn't tell the truth, maybe he had something to hide from us?"
"Oh, you can also see that Lin Tian is in trouble?" Lan Zi'an looked at Lu Qianqian and asked. Lu Qianqian said disapprerovingly: "Isn't this obvious?" You look at his dodgy look, and feel that there is something hidden from us, and it is a big deal. Since he doesn't want to be with us, let's go our separate ways in the future. ”
"Hey, junior sister, senior brother remembers that you didn't talk so much before, and you never cared about Brother Lin's affairs?" Lan Zi'an asked this, and Lu Qianqian was a little embarrassed for a moment, and she didn't know how to refute it. She would never have asked more questions before, let alone care about other people's affairs, and it was indeed a little abnormal to repeatedly talk about Lin Tian's affairs today.
"Oh, I know, it turns out that my sister is actually a curious person. Senior brother used to think that junior sister had no curiosity? Lan Zi'an said with a smile: "In that case, let's go and see what happened to Brother Lin that made him return to Yidi in such a hurry." Besides, Yidi is the land of the far north, let's go and see what the place of the far north is, and this is also a good experience along the way. ”
"Okay, let's just see." Lu Qianqian glanced at Lan Zi'an, and said, "But I'm here to experience, not to follow Lin Tian." ”
"Naturally, we came out to experience this trip, so what does it matter where we go?"
Lan Zi'an didn't feel that his junior sister was any different from the past at the moment, Lu Qianqian's words just now had the taste of three hundred taels of silver here, but Lan Zi'an's sense of smell was a little worse.
Lu Qianqian saw that her senior brother had no other reaction, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. At the same time, she was looking forward to it, she wanted to see what Lin Tian's hometown was like.
