Soon, a reward notice was posted at the gate of Yangzhou City, and the same notice was posted in villages and towns within a radius of 30 miles at the entrance of the hospital.

The next day, as soon as Xiao Zheng got up, someone came to report that someone had come to report to the government that someone had found this person fifteen miles west of the city, and some people in several different villages nearby had found his traces.

Let all these people come in, and seven or eight people came in, and when I asked all the farmers who were working in several nearby villages, they all said that they saw this person in their own village.

"Since everyone said that this person was found in their own village, it will be easy to do, thank you and a fellow villager."

Turning his head to Gongyi Ruoyi, he said: "This official ordered you to immediately bring all the men and horses in Yangzhou, go to their villages to search, and bring all the soldiers in the city, I will sit in the hospital, and Lao Tzu will dig three feet into the ground to find him."

A group of soldiers in Yangzhou City went out of the city gate, and under the leadership of the teams, they rushed out, and the guards guarding the city were only two loosely checking the passers-by.

Outside the back door of the governor's mansion in Yangzhou City, two carts carrying rice grains and vegetables came, and five young people pulled them to the outside of the mansion, and the cook looked at these people's faces, and then asked: "What about the people who delivered vegetables before, why don't I know a few of you today?" ”

I saw a young man in the lead and said with a smile: "Chef Li, today the son of the shopkeeper Wang's family who bought silk and satin in the south of the city is married, and he has a lot of things in the house, and the owner has let the few who came before go to the shopkeeper's house." A few of us are in a hurry to deliver something to your house."

"Well, this dish is quite fresh, so let's bring it in," said the cook, looking at the things, to a few people.

When he arrived at the kitchen, the young man looked around and praised the cook and said, "This Yangzhou Mansion is magnificent, this cooking place is bigger than my house, and this is the first time I have entered such a big mansion."

Seeing that the young man said good things about each other so well, the cook also said proudly: "That is, you don't want to see who lives in this mansion?" ”

"The villain heard that there is a chief steward and the king of Wei living in this mansion, what a big official this is, you must have seen the king of Wei and the chief steward," a young man said enviously.

As soon as he heard someone say this, the cook suddenly turned red, and said triumphantly: "That's, I don't dare to say anything else, but it's true that I can see King Wei and the chief manager duel every day, but our brothers' cooking skills are also good, otherwise it would be impossible to mix in this chief governor's mansion."

After listening to this, the young man smacked his tongue and said, "I don't know if the little one has a chance to meet the King of Wei, just take a look."

After hearing this, the cook looked at this contemptuously and said, "You can't do it, the King of Wei lives in the courtyard with a garden in front of him, and he can't see it if he wants to."

After hearing this, a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and he glanced at the other people, and several of them slowly leaned towards the other two cooks.

"Is there any way to really go to see King Wei?"

The cook said impatiently: "Why are you so verbose, put the vegetables and grain and leave quickly."

"Okay, the villain will go right away".

The man bent down and pretended to collect the basket, and slashed at the cook's neck with a palm while the cook turned around, and the cook snorted and fell to the ground softly, and the other people saw this move, and immediately smashed the back of the heads of the other two cooks who were busy with their backs to them by the stove.

Looking at the three cooks who had fallen to the ground, the dish on top of the basket was suddenly overturned, and five or six more people jumped out of it. When they came out, they opened the hidden compartment on the gang and drew their swords from inside.

After seeing that there was no one around, he pulled the three cooks into the corner of the kitchen. The young man said to these people, "We know the place, follow me and rush in, and fight quickly!" The soldiers are dangerous, but as long as they catch the king of Wei, everything will be easy."

This person is the young man who was in Jiajiazhuang yesterday, this person is Mo Qingcheng, the descendant disciple of the head of the Mo family, and the purpose of coming to the Yangzhou Governor's Mansion this time is very clear, that is, he wants to take advantage of the emptiness of Yangzhou City's defense to seize Li Tai as a hostage and exchange the children of the Mo family sect in the prison.

Led people along the passage of the kitchen next to him and rushed to the backyard, Xiao Zheng originally lived a very simple life, and after arriving here, there were not many servants, most of them were still used on the three children, so there were not many people in the backyard.

As soon as he rushed to the backyard door along the passage, he saw a servant coming towards him, and the servant was shocked when he saw Mo Qingcheng leading a group of people rushing over, and asked loudly: "Who of you dare to trespass in the backyard......

Before he finished speaking, a dagger was pressed against this person's throat, and Mo Qingcheng asked coldly at the servant, "Say!" Where is King Wei? ”。

The servant trembled with fright and said, "I'm in charge of cleaning the courtyard in front."

"Let me ask you, where is the residence of King Wei?" As soon as he handed the knife forward, blood flowed down the man's neck.

"It's not far away, it's just ahead," the man said, pointing to the cross-courtyard on the left-hand side.

"Thank you!" After Mo Qingcheng finished speaking, he covered his mouth and stabbed a dagger into it.

The servant twisted his body a few times and then didn't move, let go of his hand Mo Qingcheng and said, "Follow me!" ”

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of three or two teenagers reading, mixed with the sound of a girl reading in the middle.

"Those who attack and must take will attack what they do not defend; Those who defend and must be solid, defend what they do not attack. Therefore, those who are good at attacking, the enemy does not know what they are defending; Those who defend well, the enemy does not know what they are attacking. Little, as for the invisible. Divine and divine, as for the silent ......"

"Rush in!" Mo Qingcheng kicked the door open, and the sound of reading came from the house.

Seeing that the person he was looking for was in his hands, Mo Qingcheng shouted excitedly at the people behind him: "Catch Li Tai, you will listen to us today, rush!" ”

The door was slammed open with a bang, and when he rushed to the house, he found that there was no child in the house, only an elderly man, dressed in a green shirt, sitting on a chair, holding a book in his hand and looking at everyone, looking like a teacher.

Mo Qingcheng was stunned when he saw it, he obviously heard the sound of a child reading just now, why was the room suddenly empty.

"Old fellow, what about the three children just now."

I saw the old man smile and said, "Those three children just went out through the back door, what are you looking for them?" ”

Mo Qingcheng ignored the old man, walked to the back door and pulled the door, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he only glanced at it and immediately closed the door with a bang.

Then he took a few breaths and said, "It's bad, my matter has been discovered!" ”

There was no way not to let Mo Qingcheng be afraid, as soon as the door opened, there were twenty soldiers in heavy armor standing in the courtyard, each holding a bow in his hand and facing him with a machine he had never seen before, and the cold light on the arrow made people's scalps chill when they looked at it.

"Withdraw!" I turned around and wanted to run back the way I came.

"Senior brother, we are surrounded!" The man who had just turned around and was about to go out pointed outside.

"Not good! Fooled! ”

It was too late for Mo Qingcheng to react.
