Chapter 637: Blocking the Road
"Where's the notice? Take me to see it. Qian Cangyi was thoughtful.
The two went to the gate of the city, although Dingtai Town was only a town, it was still very large.
In front of the wooden planks where the notices were posted, a large number of people were gathered.
There were young and old, rich and poor, but no matter who they were, they couldn't help but exclaim when they learned the contents of the notice.
"This official mansion, how can it be so useless, not only can't solve the murder case, but also seals the city."
"Shhhh Aren't you afraid of being remembered and sued to the prefect's yamen? ”
"Murder? Where did the murder come from, whether it was committed by humans or ghosts, don't you count it in your hearts? ”
The sound of chattering and quarrelling reached Qian Cang's ears.
He glanced at the content of the notice, which was not much different from what Xiaoqing said.
Anyone leaving the city needs to be approved, and vice versa, entering the city is not.
Coupled with the curfew, it can be said that Dingtai Town is already under martial law at this time.
At the city gate not far away, the catchers were guarding the city gate, and the people who went out of the city had already formed a long line, but most of them were arrested and driven back.
"Xiaoqing, let's go back."
Qian Cangyi whispered.
Back in Zhang's mansion, the matter had spread, and Zhang Wenshi had also found Qian Cangyi.
"Changqing, do you know about this?"
The repeated blows made Zhang Wenshi's face more and more old, only in his thirties, but he looked like a person in his forties or fifties.
"I just heard that."
Qian Cang thought of what Zhang Wenshi said before.
Originally, he didn't care much about these things, but now that the prefect is locked down, Qian Cangyi has to suspect that the various strange events that originally occurred in Dingtai Town as 'natural disasters' may have human factors.
In this way, Qian Cangyi also has a target for investigation.
It's just that protecting Zhang Yugo is still the most important thing besides his own safety.
"Does the government know something?"
Zhang Wenshi said the doubts in his heart.
"Brother Zhang, Changqing doesn't quite understand this matter." Qian Cangyi shook his head, "It's possible, but the government doesn't plan to let us know." ”
"Oh." Zhang Wenshi nodded, "Recently, Zhang has carefully thought about the idea of leaving Dingtai Town, perhaps, it is not impossible to ......."
"Huh?" Qian Cang was stunned for a moment.
It's good to change your mind, but it's always a bit strange to say at this time.
Qian Cang thought to himself.
"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid it's a little difficult to leave Dingtai Town now, I take the liberty to ask, why did Brother Zhang suddenly change his mind? I remember ......" Qian Cangyi recalled Zhang Wenshi's expression at that time.
At that moment, Zhang Wenshi was definitely not joking.
"That's what Madame meant......," Zhang Wenshi sighed.
Qian Cangyi immediately understood what Zhang Wenshi meant.
On the matter of leaving Dingtai Town, Zhang Wenshi must have had a dispute with Pang Yingxiu, Zhang Bai's death hurt the two too deeply, Zhang Wenshi, who loved his wife, was unwilling to let Pang Yingxiu be hurt again, so he chose to compromise and was willing to leave Dingtai Town with his family.
And the reason why Pang Yingxiu was willing to leave Dingtai Town was undoubtedly to protect Zhang Disaster.
Of course, wanting to leave the sad place is also a reason.
"If Brother Zhang has already made up his mind, why don't you prepare in advance? Hesitation will only make things worse. ”
"As for how to get out of the city, we need to think about it again, maybe even in the next few days."
Qian Cang said in a low voice.
These words are exactly what Zhang Wenshi wants to hear.
"Changqing, what you said said was to Zhang's heart. By the way, Zhang remembered, Changqing, you didn't like words when you first came to Dingtai Town, I thought you only loved martial arts, but I didn't expect ......" Zhang Wenshi was a little emotional.
Zhang Wenshi did not say anything more.
According to the normal situation, the person who hears it will always ask, and the person who then says it will praise a few words by the way, but Qian Cangyi has no intention of asking.
There's no need to chase this kind of thing.
After nightfall, Qian Cangyi got out of bed.
The next thing he had to do was very simple, visit the government at night.
During the day, he had already inquired about the news of the prefect, and in order not to expose himself, the process was a little tortuous, but he still knew what he wanted to know.
Today's notice, maybe tonight to take a look, maybe there will be something to gain.
Qian Cang thought to himself.
When the night watchman had passed, he quickly crossed the street and disappeared into the darkness again.
At this moment, Qian Cangyi actually had the idea that he was very talented in this area, and along the way, in addition to sound, he was also paying attention to the change of light and shadow.
The surrounding hiding place, Qian Cang had already stepped on it early in the morning, and with the route in his memory, he successfully came to the front of the mansion.
After waiting for a few minutes, he was ready to go, but there was a slight movement nearby.
It's very slight, but it's still noticed by Qian Cangyi.
There seems to be the rest of the people nearby.
He steadied himself and did not act rashly.
Sure enough, a minute later, two men dressed in black quickly entered the mansion, these two were very skilled at infiltrating and seemed to do this kind of thing regularly.
Could it be that Dingtai Town Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon can't be successful?
Qian Cangyi asked in his heart.
After the two men in black entered, there was no movement, and after about a quarter of an hour, the palace was suddenly brightly lit.
"Catch the assassin!"
"Catch the assassin!"
The shouts came from inside the palace.
Hearing the shout, Qian Cangyi hurriedly retreated, but did not leave completely, but stayed on a small road.
This road is the only way for Master Zhao Quanshun to go home.
No matter what happened in the government, those who should go home will still go home.
Even if nothing is gained, there is nothing to lose tonight.
Half an hour later, a man hurried in.
"This Cao Xingzhi's courage is also small, the assassins have already been caught, and they won't let me go, I'm a master, I can't help him catch the assassins?" Zhao Quanshun complained as he quickened his pace.
Qian Cang smiled at the corner of his mouth, straightened out the black face towel he had already wore, and then took out the dagger he had prepared and walked out.
"Master Zhao, don't come unharmed." As he spoke, Qian Cangyi's dagger had already touched Zhao Quanshun's neck.
As long as Zhao Quanshun has any abnormal movements, he doesn't mind giving the other party a ride.
Zhao Quanshun's body shook, and he was startled by the person who appeared in front of him.
"Big ...... Heroes spare their lives, spare their lives......"
"What happened to the two people who entered the mansion just now?" Qian Cangyi lowered his voice, although he couldn't change his voice like Qian Jiangyue, but it was not difficult to change the timbre slightly.
"It turns out that the assassin who was arrested just now is a friend of the hero, and they are now in prison, and they have no worries about their lives for the time being, and they will be tried tomorrow." Zhao Quanshun was very cooperative.
Since the other party has something to know, then he still has a chance to survive.
This is Zhao Quanshun's thoughts.
"Is the recent strange incident in Dingtai Town related to you?" Qian Cang asked.
"Ouch, the hero laughed, if Zhao has this ability, as for being the master who is angry all day long?" Zhao Quanshun couldn't cry or laugh.
"That has something to do with Cao Xingzhi?" Qian Cangyi continued to ask.
"It's irrelevant, hero, he's a dignified prefect, why would he do such a thing?" Zhao Quanshun shook his head.
"And what's going on with today's notice?" Qian Cangyi finally asked what he really cared about.
"This ......" Zhao Quanshun hesitated a little, and then he felt a slight tingling in his neck, "Big ...... Big...... Hero, Zhao really doesn't know, Zhao is just writing, it is an order from Cao Zhifu. ”
"I'll give you another chance!"
"Zhao really doesn't know, why don't you ask the prefect?" Zhao Quanshun was about to cry.
