Chapter 542: The Pursuit

The news of Zhu Shiyong's escape soon reached the ears of the defenders at the city gate, and the soldiers, who had thought that it was inexplicable not to let Lord Qincha enter the city, suddenly woke up, and it turned out that everyone was deceived by Zhu Shiyong, an old thief, who took a risk to take everyone to the ditch.

In the scolding, the head of the city guard ordered to open the city gate to welcome the arrival of the forbidden army, and the officers and soldiers who refused to defend the city were also obedient, and after opening the city gate, they threw their weapons and knelt on both sides of the city gate to bear the guilt.

Ouyang Xiutie blushed and was not polite, and ordered people to tie up all the more than 200 people who refused to defuse, and killed all the way to the mansion.

Su Jin led everyone to meet Ouyang Xiu halfway, Ouyang Xiu saw that these men and women in front of him were all covered in blood and crumbling, and knew that he must have suffered a lot, so he hurriedly comforted him and asked people to take these people to find a place to rest.

Su Jin was unwilling to rest, and asked a hundred forbidden troops to escort Mrs. Wang, Yan Biyun and others to the back hall of Hefeng Building to take a bath and rest, and he took Wang Dynasty Mahan and others to kill all the way to the mansion with the army.

The former Luzhou subordinate officials of the government had already stood at the door tremblingly to greet Ouyang Xiu, and when they saw each other, they all stepped forward to salute, Ouyang Xiu shouted with a dark face: "Don't come to this set, where is Zhu Shiyong?" ”

Master Liu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Governor Zhu's ......"

"What Zhu Governor's Mansion? The old thief and bandit were the first, and today they are in rebellion, but they are an out-and-out traitor, and you still call it the prefect? Su Jin scolded angrily.

Liu Tongju looked at Su Jin's appearance, his hair was scattered and his clothes were broken, his body was full of blood, his eyes were red like rabbit eyes, and he knew that he must have suffered a big loss under Zhu Shiyong's hands, so he didn't dare to brush the tiger's whiskers, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Zhu ...... Shiyong didn't return to the mansion, and I waited for the news that Lord Ouyang was here to greet him. ”

Ouyang Xiu looked at Su Jin, Su Jin thought for a moment and said: "It must be that the roll is covering and escaping, but it can't escape far, Ouyang Zhongcheng should immediately send someone to replace the guards of the four cities, find out the direction of escape, and quickly chase after it." ”

Ouyang Xiu said: "I'm not familiar with Luzhou, you arrange it, there are still thirteen forbidden troops here, and everything is up to you." ”

Su Jin did not shirk, and immediately ordered: "First, send four capitals to replace the guards of the four city gates, disarm the box army, and detain them in the barracks to wait for their fate; In addition, the two capitals were sent to patrol the city in order to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos; The remaining seven capitals, except for one left to protect Lord Ouyang, the rest of the people are dispatched by me. ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "Wang, Zhangjiang, and Yao are the four heads, you take over the defense of the four cities at the same speed, and according to the words of the Su envoy, all the soldiers of the Luzhou Baoxin Army will be unarmed and guarded, Ge Dutou, you are responsible for patrolling the city, if there are robbers who take advantage of the fire, they will be killed; Ma Dutou followed the official Walkman. ”

The six leaders all agreed in unison, and each of them acted quickly.

Ouyang Xiu pointed to the six forbidden soldiers in front of him and said to Su Jin: "These six will be at your disposal, this official will be in the palace to ascend to the hall, and summon the officials of Luzhou to come and ask, without further ado, Su will quickly chase Zhu Shiyong, most of the hour has passed, and the old thief is afraid that he will have already left the city." ”

Su Jin nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, this old thief will never escape, if he can escape, wouldn't there be no heavenly reason." ”

At that moment, Su Jin immediately ordered that the dynasty would lead the way, and lead the people to the Chamber of Commerce to arrest Tang Jiyuan and others, seal the property, and detain relatives.

He also ordered Ma Han, Zhao Hu, Zhang Long, and the three of them to go to the three city gates in the southeast and west to find out where Zhu Shiyong came out of the city, and he took the two forbidden troops to the Yuema Bridge.

Su Jin knew in his heart that the Zhu family's mansion on the Prancing Horse Bridge must have been empty, but when Zhu Shiyong escaped, he must have passed through the house first, and the children of the family always had to run away with him, so he could go to Zhu Shiyong's mansion first to find out where he came out of the city.

When I arrived at the Yuema Bridge, Zhu Shiyong's mansion was already jumping and crying and screaming, and the soldiers guarded the front and rear doors and rushed into the house.

Su Jin shouted: "Everyone, wait, immediately put down the items and wrap them in the front hall to gather, if there are those who do not obey the order, Hugh blames the sword and has no eyes." ”

The Zhu family was like a mourner, and was driven to the front hall by the forbidden army to gather, Su Jin shouted: "If you know where Zhu Shiyong fled to, you can avoid the crime of sitting together by saying it." ”

The people of the Zhu family looked at each other and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.

Su Jin took out his waist knife and shouted: "This official has no time to play dumb riddles with you, if you run Zhu Shiyong, you will all die, I will count three times, if no one tells Zhu Shiyong's whereabouts, I will ask you to taste the taste of the steel knife into the bones." ”

Everyone was so frightened that their faces were pale, and an old man in a green robe stepped forward and said: "My lord, the old man is the butler of the Zhu family, and the master of my family came back and went out with the son of the Yanei, no one knows where he went, how can he be willing to tell us such things?" ”

Su Jin squinted his eyes and said, "Who is Zhu Shiyong's wife?" ”

The old man glanced at the women standing below with his eyes and pouted.

Su Jin broke off and said, "Mrs. Zhu, wearing the clothes of a servant, is this to fool the official?" Still not coming forward to reply? ”

Zhu Shiyong's wife Sun Shi trembled like chaff, the age is not small, forty or fifty years old, it seems to be honest and duty, hearing the words and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Back to the lord, the old body really doesn't know where he fled to, the old body has been eating fasting and reciting Buddha for several years, and the old man never said anything to the old body, I heard everyone say that the old man made a mistake, and the old body bluffed ruthlessly, so he ordered someone to pack up his things, and planned to avoid it, all this old body really didn't know." ”

Su Jin frowned and looked at the other women, who were probably Zhu Shiyong's eldest and youngest wives, and asked: "It's still the same sentence, if you know where he is going, you will be exempted from the guilt of joint sitting, you may not know what Zhu Shiyong has done this time; I tell you that he is guilty of rebellion, inciting soldiers to fight against the forbidden army of the imperial court, and also intending to kill the officials of the imperial court, and this crime can affect all of you from top to bottom; There is only one opportunity, and there is no chance to be missed; Even if you don't tell me, I can still catch him, but it just takes a lot of effort. ”

The faces of the Zhu family are as white as earth, and some people can't help but scold when they hear that they are going to lose their heads, and the wives and concubines are even more 'old dogs, old thieves, and old killers'.

A red-robed woman suddenly came out of the ranks, came to Su Jin and said: "The slave family heard from Zhu Zhifu that in Lotus Mountain in the countryside of Fanchang County, he bought a house, saying that he went to retire and retire after resigning from the government when he was old. ”

Su Jindao: "Who are you?" ”

The woman said: "The slave family's maiden name is Yushu, and she was sent by Master Tang of the Chamber of Commerce to serve Zhu Zhifu. ”

Su Jin said: "How could he tell you this?" ”

The woman's face turned red, and she twisted: "The slave family has not followed Zhu Governor's Mansion for a long time, and Zhu Governor's Mansion ...... I like the slave family very much, and this time is ...... It's all slaves who accompany him...... Overnight, he said that he wanted to take the slave family to retreat, and the slave family asked casually, and he said casually, as for whether it was true, the slave family did not know. ”

"Little hoof, I know that you are a vixen, if the husband is not bewitched by your Chamber of Commerce Master Tang, how can you have today, you vixen is also one of the accomplices, and the old body is eager to kill you as an adulteress." Sun opened his mouth and scolded angrily.

The woman named Yushu sneered: "The slave family is also a person who is at the mercy of others, do you think the slave family is willing to come and serve this half-dead person?" If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't help himself, how could the slave family be willing to let him practice his innocent body; It's that you don't have the ability to be a wife, you have done everything with your husband and children, the old ones in the family have broken the law, and the little ones are all your own sins. ”

Sun stepped forward angrily and grabbed Yushu's hair and fought, Yushu was not willing to be beaten, and fought back, the two sides scuffled together, both women with sharp nails, pulling each other's hair and picking . Digging his cheeks, his face was covered with blood after a while, and his hair fell to the ground.

"Okay, okay, what a system!" Su Jin didn't know whether to persuade or gloat, so he turned to the forbidden soldiers who were staring at the two women's torn clothes and bare skin: "Don't look at it, what's so beautiful, haven't you ever seen a woman fight?" ”

The forbidden army coughed twice and reluctantly withdrew their gaze.

"Leave fifty men to guard the courtyard, and all the belongings shall be sealed and made in the book, and shall not be tampered with; All the relatives and servants of the Zhu family are not allowed to go out of the mansion for half a step; The rest of the people followed me to chase after them. ”

The forbidden army all asked, "Your Excellency, where are you chasing?" ”

Su Jinyi said: "It must be the south gate, ten miles out of the city is the wharf, and after getting on the boat, you will go down the river to Fanchang Lotus Mountain; Since the old thief has bought property there, nine times out of ten he has gone there. ”

The head of the capital hurriedly said: "Then it should be as soon as possible, and it will be troublesome to get on the boat." ”

Su Jin waved his hand and said: "Gather all the horses, ride a horse to chase people, if it's late, you need to get on the boat to chase people, that's a troublesome thing." ”

The crowd did not dare to delay, but rushed out, mounted their horses, and went straight to the south gate; On the way, he met Zhang Long, who was rushing back and forth, and the soldiers guarding the south city also said that Zhu Shiyong went out to the south gate in a big car.
