Chapter 181: Who Betrayed Us
Bai Yingping patted Ye Cheng's shoulder wildly, and said in a panic, "Ye Cheng, hurry up"
Ye Cheng also faintly heard the footsteps coming in from outside, and felt that something was wrong, so he quickly got up and looked at the door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info was surprised to see the light of the fire outside the door, and the light of the fire was becoming more and more concentrated in the door of their large guest room.
"Is it an official errand?" Ye Cheng asked sternly.
Bai Yingping looked at Fu Gongzi next to the door, and said with a little sternness, "I think so, quickly shout everyone" He quickly ran towards the door, waking up the sleeping thief as he ran.
Ye Cheng also hurriedly turned around and slapped Zhu Zi'an beside him.
Zhuzi slept like a dead pig, and he didn't feel any crisis at all because of provoking Fu Gongzi.
After shaking continuously and not waking up, Ye Cheng clenched his fist and slapped Zhu Zi'an's face hard.
"Who dares to hit me," Zhu Zi'an suddenly straightened up and shouted.
Ye Cheng was so frightened that he hurriedly covered Zhu Zi'an's mouth, and whispered in the latter's ear, "Brother Zi'an, don't be so loud, the official is here"
Zhuzi'an panicked, looked at the door with a confused face and said, "The official is here, what should I do?" ”
"Wake everyone up first," Ye Cheng said.
The two split up and woke everyone up, and then everyone gathered near the door.
At this time, Bai Yingping was squatting at the door, observing the situation outside through the crack in the door.
Now the fire outside had stopped, illuminating the entire large room through the papier-mâché windows.
Ye Cheng squatted on the right side of the door, he wanted to stand up and poke a hole in the paper window to observe the situation outside, but he was afraid that the officials outside would find something abnormal, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
At this time, Bai Yingping turned around and leaned against the crack of the door, with a grim expression.
Ye Cheng hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
"It's full of officials standing outside," Bai Yingping said.
Nangong Hongyun approached Bai Yingping's side and asked, "Who betrayed us?" "As an official, he is confident that he can deal with officials, so he wants to see if there is anything he can do to help.
"It's someone you can't think of," Bai Yingping said with a surprised face.
Ye Cheng was very strange about what Bai Yingping meant when he said this, knowing that they kidnapped Fu Gongzi only those drinkers and the shopkeeper and Xiao Er, if the drinkers complained, it would not be surprising at all, if it was......
Suddenly, Ye Cheng's eyes widened, and he gently pushed Bai Yingping away, "Bai Yingping, let me see", he put his eyes on the crack in the door and looked out.
Outside the door, a large number of officials dressed in official uniforms had gathered, and the officials were all wearing thick cloaks.
There were three middle-aged men standing in front of the official.
In the center is a man in a dark prefectural uniform, with some tiger-like motifs embroidered on a square frame on the front of the prefectural uniform, and the man also wears a thick cloak to protect him from the cold.
The middle-aged man on the left was gorgeously dressed, wearing gold and silver, his body was fat, his neck was almost gone, and a jade necklace seemed to hang on the back of his head.
Right......
Ye Cheng was suddenly surprised!
"Why him?"
Suddenly, Ye Cheng suddenly realized, and said secretly in his heart, "This is halfway up the mountain, if you count it by status, the status of the shopkeeper is not low, and it is reasonable to collude with those rich businessmen on the top of the mountain, but are the words that persuaded us just now all pretended?" ”
Ye Cheng always had a trace of suspicion about the shopkeeper, but now it was not the time for him to think about this problem, the kidnapping of Fu Gongzi had already been discovered, so he could only find a way to deal with it quickly.
Now it's cold outside enough to freeze the carriages, so you can't go on the road yet.
Ye Cheng turned around and said, "The shopkeeper is outside"
"Is it the shopkeeper who betrayed us? Or is it being coerced," Nangong Hongyun asked strangely.
At this time, Zhu Zi'an said with a big grin, "What's so strange about the shopkeeper betraying us, he also lives halfway up the mountain, and he must look down on those civilians under the mountain."
After Zhu Zi'an said this, everyone began to be suspicious, and gradually everyone believed that it was the shopkeeper who betrayed everyone.
Ye Cheng didn't plan to say what he suspected now, after all, the shopkeeper was with those officials, and he couldn't explain it clearly.
He turned his head to the left of the door and said, "Brother Zi'an, you go and bring Fu Gongzi over, and go out with me to meet those officials."
"What's the matter, just rush out," Zhuzi roared in a low voice, and he played a reckless and impulsive temperament again.
Zhuzi lived aside and hurriedly stopped, "Brother, it's cold and snowy outside now, we can't go far"
Ye Cheng looked at Zhu Zi'an helplessly, but this just proves that Zhu Zi'an has a pure heart, although such a person is impulsive and reckless, but he doesn't have to worry about being framed.
Such people are always straightforward and do whatever comes to mind, but as long as someone stops them, they will not do anything out of the ordinary.
"I know you're awake, let my son out, or we'll break in," suddenly came the voice of a middle-aged man outside the door.
The atmosphere in the house suddenly became tense.
"Eighth brother, what should I do?" Zhu Ziju looked at Ye Cheng and asked.
This question focused everyone's eyes on Ye Cheng, and Ye Cheng suddenly felt a heavy responsibility, although the matter has not yet developed to the point of being out of control, but now it is an official errand who is provoked, and if you are not careful, you will be imprisoned.
Now that Cao Rou was not around, Ye Cheng knew that he had to be careful.
"Brother Ye, I'll go out with you, I've been an official for a while" Nangong Hongyun took off the gray robe he was wearing, revealing his official uniform, and continued, "And the other party sees that I am also a servant, so it is easier to talk."
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, Bai Yingping will also go out with me, and the others will be prepared in the room to prevent anything that may happen."
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Brother Zi'an, are you okay?" Ye Cheng shouted.
"Okay"
Everything was ready, Ye Cheng stood up, turned around and slowly opened the door, and walked out.
Standing outside the door, Ye Cheng looked to both sides, and was suddenly a little surprised.
What I just saw in the crack of the door was only the tip of the iceberg. Now both sides of the corridor and under the stairs were filled with officials, and the torches in their hands lit up the third floor of the tavern like the day.
Five people stood parallel to each other in the doorway, and the others also took up their weapons inside the door and got ready.
Ye Cheng faced the front and said with great respect, "Listen to your words, we came out"
"Arrest them all," suddenly the man in the prefectural uniform shouted.
"Yes"
Suddenly, five officials burst out at the same time, and five different colors lit up next to the county order at the same time. Then the five officials who burst out with divine strength stood up and threw their hands in the direction of Ye Cheng.
When the official threw out his hands, he threw out a rectangular board at the same time.
The rectangular plate had a small hole in it, and there was a semicircle at the edge of the hole, and the semicircle was much larger than the small circle, and the two rectangular plates that were thrown out looked symmetrical, and the circles on top seemed to coincide.
