Chapter 586: Tail
Search?
Naturally, it is not a simple search, this city-wide search is to take the opportunity to eliminate some criminals lurking in the shadows.
The second is to find the eldest grandson Wuji, as for why the portrait in his hand is not the portrait of the eldest grandson Wuji, but a stranger who no one knows?
They don't know if there is such a person in the world, but the person in their portrait is by no means a criminal who has committed a great crime, as they portray.
The portrait is just to confuse the eldest grandson Wuji and create a false impression for him.
But in fact, with the shrewdness of the eldest grandson Wuji, as long as the government makes a move, he can immediately judge the purpose of the government.
Holding someone else's portrait, in fact, it was his eldest grandson Wuji who was tracked down.
was guessed by the eldest grandson Wuji, there is no need to question this at all, and there is no reason to question it.
Of course, the dark guard didn't expect this trick to deceive the eldest grandson Wuji.
In fact, the secret guard just wanted to use this means to determine the specific location of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Wuhou is used to do this, they are more familiar with the situation in their jurisdiction, and the current Wuhou is different from the police station in later generations.
Now I have to walk and patrol on the road every day, one day or two days, a year or two, every day, every day is this area, how can you not be familiar with the situation here?
Most Wuhou can point to a family and clearly say how many people there are in this family, men, women and children.
However, after searching the entire Chang'an, no problems were found.
That's a lot of worry.
"Think again, if there's something wrong?" When he learned that the search had no results, Ma Liu couldn't sit still.
Could it be that the eldest grandson Wuji learned the news earlier than he learned? So escaped from Chang'an in advance?
In this case, it will not be so easy to catch him.
But Ma Liu didn't believe it, he always felt that the eldest grandson Wuji was still in the city, and he didn't plan to leave at all.
But this is just a feeling, he can do it in the time of closing Chang'an for one day, but closing it for two days, three days, this will not work.
Even if the emperor agrees, he must ask the opinions of the officials and people below, and if it is closed for one day, the entire Chang'an will not know how much income has been lost, and if it comes for a few more days, I am afraid that the emperor will come to block the door.
Of course, now that they know that they are searching for the eldest grandson Wuji, it is only a small number of people, and almost no one in the entire imperial court knows about it.
Even the forbidden army and the martial marquis who participated in it did not know the real purpose of their search.
"If you can't find it, it's right." When Ma Liu was frowning, Li Yuanji walked in from outside the door.
Now the ministers have quarreled all over the world, and they unanimously agree that it is okay to search for criminals, which they support, but they cannot search in such a way that the whole city is closed.
Now the entire Chang'an has become an empty alley, and in just this day, Chang'an has lost thousands of trade volumes, and the imperial court has also lost hundreds of revenues.
Now the imperial court is short of money, so many projects are waiting for money to start, and they can't afford to withstand such a toss.
The ministers quarreled for a day, and Li Yuanji also listened to them under pressure for a day, until now, and felt that the time was almost up, so he came over to ask in person.
And those ministers also seemed a little uneasy, so they followed all the way, but they didn't come in.
Instead, they waited outside the door, and if Li Yuanji couldn't give them a satisfactory answer, they would come in and talk to Ma Liu in person.
You secret guards don't have the task of economic construction, and the amount of loss is just a number for you, but these yamen are all waiting for the rice to go to the pot, and you can't smash other people's jobs for the sake of your political achievements.
"Forgot how the eldest grandson Wuji got into trouble in the first place?" Li Yuanji reminded.
Looking at Ma Liu's expression, he basically knew the answer.
How did the eldest grandson Wuji get into trouble at the beginning?
Others may not know, can Ma Liu not know? He was responsible for digging the tunnel, he was responsible for burying the explosives, and Ma Wu was responsible for the final detonation and planting weapons.
So, how could Ma Liu not know this?
He knows better than anyone else.
As soon as Li Yuanji reminded him, Ma Liu's brain opened up instantly.
I can't find any trace of the eldest grandson Wuji, that's because he has an internal response in Chang'an City, and someone takes him in.
And if the eldest grandson Wuji doesn't go out for a long time, it is impossible for the outside world to know that there are more people in this family, and if there is an authenticity, if he finds this family, he can hide in the tunnel, until the two families have checked him and then come out, who can know where he is?
I've planted it once, do you want to plant it a second time? Or can't he take advantage of this method?
The answer is, yes, the eldest grandson Wuji will definitely be able to, and he will definitely think of this.
However, digging a tunnel does not mean digging it, first of all, there must be excess soil.
They started digging from outside the city, and the soil was easy to handle.
But it is unlikely that the eldest grandson Wuji will dig from outside the city, and there is no need to spend so much energy to do this.
Therefore, this tunnel must be regional, it may be short, or it may connect two squares.
The distance should not be too far, otherwise it is not easy to deal with so much soil, it cannot be sent out at all, and it is easy to be discovered.
In this way, there are new clues.
"Your Majesty, Chang'an can be closed overnight, and the closure can be lifted tomorrow morning." With the new ideas, Ma Liu is still very happy in his heart, of course, even if he doesn't find the results tonight, he must give up the lockdown.
"Yes!" Li Yuanji nodded, and then left here directly.
Outside the door, Li Yuanji explained to the ministers, and after getting the news that the ban would be lifted tomorrow morning, although he was a little dissatisfied, it could only be like this.
If you make trouble again, you won't give the emperor face, well, this face, theirs gives.
……
On the other hand, with Ma Liu's new ideas, it will be much easier to do things next.
Directly assign the task, this time there is no need to make a big move, but to regroup those who participated in the search, and notify them one by one according to the previously assigned team.
Let them recall whether they saw some obvious abnormalities in the courtyard of a certain house during today's search.
For example, the new soil, for example, the terrain in the courtyard is higher than other courtyards?
These are the places where there are doubts.
The other is to let people check and see who has a record of moving the mound out of the mound in recent years, which is also suspicious.
However, if you think about it, it may not be easy to do.
First of all, every family has the habit of digging cellars, of course, it is not enough to hollow out the home, most families have cellars, even if they want to dig, most of them are just to expand or trim.
The most important thing is that the cellar cannot be dug by yourself, even if it is relatives and friends, they will always find someone to help, but digging a hole in the ground is different.
This hole is used to do other things, and there must not be many people who know it, not confidants, how dare people know?
And the soil that is digging a hole must be much more than the soil that is digging a tunnel, and where is this soil disposed of?
A large mansion is easy to say, and there is no problem when it is evenly divided, but if it is not a large mansion, the problem is obvious.
Of course, the focus is naturally on the area that has been locked before, and the rest of the place is for the personnel who have been checked during the day to think about it carefully, and if there is a suspicion, they will send someone to check it out.
Time is passing little by little, the moonlight is gradually disappearing, the bright light of the early morning, the fiery red sun slowly rising from the east.
The city is still silent, a little different from what it used to be.
It wasn't until the sound of gongs and drums and shouts came from the street that everyone understood that Chang'an had lifted the ban and could go out as usual today.
However, after leaving the house, more people still choose to get together and ask each other about yesterday's events.
The most important thing is to ask if the fugitive was caught yesterday?
How much of a crime should a suspect who can be arrested by the imperial court and use tens of thousands of people to arrest him? In the past, it was to catch the criminals who conspired against the crime, and there was no such big movement, right?
In a mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji has already come out of the tunnel.
Yesterday's check-in had no effect on him, and if he had to say that there was, it was the time he spent in the cave for a day.
Except for being darker, the air is not very good, and it is colder, there is nothing else that is not suitable for it, and the eldest grandson Wuji has already adapted to this kind of life.
And these tunnels are not to say that they extend in all directions, but they are enough for him to run in four different directions in the fastest time, if you are not familiar with it, you must not know where to go next?
The eldest grandson Wuji is very cautious, if it is prudent to dig tunnels and dig several interconnected tunnels, then compared to the following matter, it is a bit of a trivial.
These tunnels are cleaned every day.
Yes, in cleaning, not only cleaning the basement where the eldest grandson Wuji stayed, but also cleaning these passages, after cleaning, he had to walk back and forth at least three times in each passage.
The reason for this is, of course, to create an illusion.
In a place where no one has passed for a long time, it is easy to find the traces of a person, just look at the footprints underground, but what if it is on the main road of Chang'an City? Given a year, you may not be able to find a trace of a person from the ground.
Once exposed, he wants to let the other party not know which direction he fled to, although the time of this block is a little short, a quarter of an hour? Or a few breaths of time?
It doesn't matter, as long as they can be stopped, the eldest grandson Wuji will feel that he will have a better chance of escaping.
