Chapter 977: Chase to a neighboring county

The leader of the guards also clenched his fists and said seriously:

"Please rest assured that your subordinates are loyal to your lords, and there are no two hearts, and your subordinates will rot in their stomachs, and they will never tell anyone about it, please don't worry. ＂

The frowning brows of the county lord in the neighboring county also slowly stretched a little, let out a sigh of relief, and said:

"Okay, then you go down first, what happened tonight tells the guards that if anyone dares to leak the slightest rumor, this official will not spare it."

The leader of the guards also nodded and said:

"Yes, my lord, you can rest assured, after your subordinates go down, they will personally give orders to their guards, and they will never dare to say nonsense. ＂

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also choked up, and then said:

"That's great!"

After speaking, the leader of the guard also clenched his fists and said:

"If the adult has nothing else to explain, his subordinates will retire first."

The county lord of the neighboring county also waved his hand and said:

"Go down."

The leader of the guards also turned around immediately, and then walked briskly out of the door of the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was.

After the county lord of the neighboring county saw that the leader of his guards also walked out of the door of the room where he was quickly, he also said with a tangled face:

"Who are these men in black? It's so powerful! The more than 1,000 guards under this official have not been able to arrest them, which is really capable! If these black-clothed people are the key criminals that Lord Shangshu wants to arrest, then it is estimated that it will be difficult to arrest! ”

The leader of the guards also quickly left the mansion of the county lord in the neighboring county.

After leaving the mansion of the county lord of this neighboring county, the leader of the guards also went to the neighborhood at the entrance gate of the neighboring county.

When I came to the neighborhood at the entrance to the city in this neighboring county, I saw that the ground of this neighborhood had already been cleaned by his guards.

I couldn't tell that there had been a fierce fight scene in this neighborhood just now, and the ground was full of dead and wounded guards, but in the blink of an eye, it was back to its original state.

Time passed like this, minute by minute.

After Qin Meiniang and her entourage left the city gate of this neighboring county, they all got into the carriage, and then they all took the carriage overnight and began to fly away.

The night was fading, and the dawn was coming.

Early the next morning, Wang Cheng also rushed to the gate of the neighboring county with a large number of his guards.

When Wang Cheng came to the gate of the neighboring county with a large number of guards, he also shouted to the guards at the gate of the city:

"I came to the neighboring county on the order of Lord Shangshu, so let me go quickly."

In this way, Wang Cheng also swaggered on horseback and quickly entered the city of the neighboring county with a large number of his guards.

After Wang Cheng and his guards entered the city of the neighboring county, they also went directly to the direction of the mansion of the county lord of the neighboring county.

After coming to the gate of the mansion of the county lord of the neighboring county, Wang Cheng also quickly dismounted, and then walked towards the gate of this mansion.

Walking to the gate of the county lord's mansion in this neighboring county, Wang Cheng was also stopped by the guards at the gate of the county lord's mansion in the neighboring county, and a guard stepped forward and asked:

"Who are you?"

Wang Cheng couldn't help but smile, and then said sharply:

"Hurry up and take my son to see your lords, I was sent by Lord Shangshu."

As soon as the guards outside the gate of the county lord's mansion in this neighboring county heard that Wang Cheng had said this, it was Lord Shangshu who sent him, and he didn't dare to slack off and offend, so he immediately hugged his fists with excitement on his face:

"Ahh It turned out to be someone sent by Lord Shangshu, Childe, you will go into the house with your subordinates, and your subordinates will take you to see our lordship. ”

Wang Cheng also urged:

"Hurry up, don't rub it off."

After saying that, the guards under the county lord of the neighboring county also immediately took Wang Cheng into the mansion.

After entering the door of the mansion of the county lord of the neighboring county, the guard also went straight to the door of the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was.

After coming to the door of the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was, the guards under the county lord of the neighboring county also turned around and hugged his fist at Wang Cheng:

"Childe, you wait a minute, and when I go in and announce your arrival to our lordship."

Wang Cheng also nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll wait, you can go in and report it."

The guards under the county lord of the neighboring county also turned around and walked quickly to the door of the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was.

After entering the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was, the guard also stepped forward quickly and reported to the county lord of the neighboring county:

"Lord Qiqi, Lord Shangshu sent someone to wait outside the door, and I want to see you in a hurry."

The county lord of the neighboring county heard the report of his guards that Lord Shangshu had sent someone to come, and he was anxious to see him outside the door, and he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and his back was cold.

Because it was a person sent by Lord Shangshu, the county lord of this neighboring county did not dare to slack off, he also choked up, and then said to his guards:

"Oh! Then hurry up and pass on the people sent by Lord Shangshu to come in! ”

The guards under the county lord of the neighboring county also clenched their fists and responded:

"Yes, my subordinates will go out and pass him in."

After finishing speaking, the guards under the county lord of the neighboring county also turned around and walked quickly to the door of this room.

After leaving the door, the guards under the county lord of the neighboring county also looked at Wang Cheng who was waiting outside the door and hugged his fists:

"Childe, our lord will send you in to meet you."

Wang Cheng also raised his head immediately, with a high-spirited look, very majestic.

Then, Wang Cheng also walked quickly to the door of the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was.

After Wang Cheng walked quickly into the room where the county lord of the neighboring county was, he also stepped forward and asked the county lord of the neighboring county:

"You're the county magistrate from this neighboring county?"

When the county magistrate of the neighboring county saw Wang Cheng enter the room and questioned himself, he also choked up immediately, and then replied:

"Exactly, this official is the county lord of this neighboring county, what do you call the son?"

Wang Cheng was also stunned, and then said:

"My name is Wang Cheng, and this time I led the guards to the neighboring county, and I was ordered by Lord Shangshu to come and arrest a group of important criminals who fled from Kyoto City to the neighboring county."

The county magistrate of the neighboring county also stood up slowly, looked at Wang Cheng and greeted him with a smile:

"Oh! It turns out that Wang Gongzi was sent by Lord Shangshu, and the official has lost his welcome, so please forgive Wang Gongzi! ”

Wang Cheng also said with a serious face:

"Your Excellency doesn't have to be so polite, I was ordered by Lord Shangshu to come this time, just to hunt down the fugitives, and it is estimated that you also got the news of Lord Shangshu in advance."

The county lord of the neighboring county also nodded and said:

"Yes, this official also learned about the flying pigeon biography from Lord Shangshu in advance, and he also knows about it."

Wang Cheng also continued to ask:

"Then my lord, have you arrested the group of key criminals who fled from Kyoto Castle to the neighboring prefectures? I did not find the whereabouts of the fugitives on the road, and it is estimated that they had already entered the neighboring county. ”

After the county lord of the neighboring county listened to Wang Cheng's question, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and then hurriedly said:

"Prince Wang, who are the fugitives that Lord Shangshu wants to arrest? After receiving the instructions from Lord Shangshu, the official also made arrangements as soon as possible, and sent his guards to ambush in the direction of the entrance to the city, but until now, the official has not received any reports from his guards, so he knows very little about this line of fugitives, and I don't know whether this line of fugitives fled to a neighboring county or to other places! ”

After Wang Cheng heard the words of the county lord of the neighboring county, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately smiled bitterly twice, and said seriously:

"My lord, you shouldn't be joking with me! A group of key criminals who fled from Kyoto City to neighboring counties, but obviously they all fled to neighboring counties, and I had chased them for a while with guards before, but unfortunately I was not able to stop and arrest them, seeing that they fled in the direction of the neighboring county's city, I just returned to Kyoto City to lead the troops to pursue them in the direction of the neighboring county, but I didn't see their whereabouts on the road, this line of fugitives didn't escape into the city of this neighboring county, could it be that they and their group of criminals could still fly away! ”

Seeing that Wang Cheng was a little angry and disbelieving, the county lord of the neighboring county also hurriedly walked to Wang Cheng's side, and said as he walked:

"The prince is angry! It's not that the official doesn't follow the orders of Lord Shangshu, it's just that so far, the official has indeed not received any news that there is a group of important criminals who have fled from Kyoto City! If you say this, you are really wronged and embarrassed! ”

Wang Cheng also glanced at the county lord of the neighboring county, and then said:

"My lord, don't you toast or eat or drink! This offended Lord Shangshu, you should know the end! Did you take the benefits and money of that line of fugitives? Otherwise, if you speak for them like this, I am sure that this line of fugitives will definitely flee to the cities of neighboring counties, because if they want to flee and flee farther, they will definitely pass through the cities of neighboring counties, so don't pretend to be here with me that you don't know, let me tell you, if you don't tell me the truth, then I can arrest you and correct the Fa on the spot, do you believe it? ”

When the county magistrate of this neighboring county saw that Wang Cheng was angry and said such harsh words to himself, and he wanted to correct himself on the spot, he couldn't help but suddenly look faceless, and said:

"Wang Gongzi, you and I are both people under Master Shangshu, you want to fall out with this official for such a trivial matter, why do you bother! Besides, what this official said is the truth, you don't believe it, can't you blame me all! ”

Wang Cheng also laughed when he heard the county lord of the neighboring county speak like this, and then his face sank, and he said loudly:

"Okay, since you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, don't blame me for being unkind to you."
