Chapter 39: Yi Chengjin tracks down the fugitives

Hua Rong shouted "the person is gone" from the back of the carriage.

Hu Yanjin and Hua Qiao hurriedly went around to the back of the carriage to see that the man was very cunning, and used his cloak to wrap the tiles, and then let the tiles fall on himself, and after making room for the front of him, he stepped over the pile of tiles and ran out from the back of the carriage.

The tile was carried by a cloak, and it did not make any noise.

Hua Qiao said indignantly: "I saved him, and ran away without making a sound, I really am not a good person!" Don't be afraid, his leg is injured and he can't go far, let's chase it! "Turn around and leave.

Hu Yanjin grabbed her arm, shook his head and said, "Forget it, we don't need to get involved in this matter, just run, just run away, just because we never met him." Go back quickly, if you delay too long, the master will be worried. ”

The three of them returned home, and sure enough, the meal was ready, and Hua Youcai and Yun Niang were waiting for them with their necks stretched.

After eating, Hu Yanjin took off his coat, put on an old overcoat prepared for him by his mother, and Hua Rong, one on the tile, the other threw the tile, and soon replaced the damaged and cracked tiles on the roof.

In the end, there were more than a dozen tiles left, all piled up in the corners of the courtyard wall. Anyway, they're going to practice flying stones in the future, aren't they?

After getting dressed, Hu Yanjin said goodbye to his master and his wife. The departure is tomorrow, but after reporting to South James's House, I don't know if there is a mission, so it's hard to say the return date.

Before leaving, he pulled Hua Qiao aside and said, "Today's incident, no one will see it anyway, no matter what happens, don't admit that you have seen that man, and say the same thing to Hua Rong." Remember? ”

He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Otherwise, I'll wait for two more days, and I'll leave when I'm sure it's okay, I'm still not worried about you......"

Hua Qiao smiled and pushed him out of the door: "Don't worry, I remember everything you said." If you delay it for another two days, the power of attorney will expire. Then how can you be worthy of His Royal Highness? ”

Back at the private school, Hu Yanjin also told Mr. Wu about the arrest of people by the Criminal Department on the road today.

Mr. Wu pouted his white beard and said, "I don't know if I scolded the emperor, but it has something to do with the emperor, but it is nine times out of ten." The Criminal Department has thirteen Qing Officials Division, and for ordinary cases, the manpower of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division should be used.

If it weren't related to the emperor, how could a six-rank military attachΓ©, the head catcher of the Criminal Department of the capital, go all the way to Yangzhou? It's hard for us to get news of Shuncheonfu in time now, and maybe it will be better if you enter the James Mansion. ”

"Then I might as well rush to Yingtianfu overnight, and report to James Mansion early tomorrow morning, so as to find out what happened in Beijing."

Hu Yanjin actually wanted to rush back early, Hua Rong was still young, if the Lord of the Criminal Department was really looking for something, he couldn't let Hua Qiao face it alone. The best way is to go early and return early.

"Oh, it's too hard to travel overnight......" Mr. Wu was a little worried. Hu Yanjin is the only son of my general, and two days ago, Qionglong Mountain replied to him, saying that he agreed to let Hu Yanjin lurk next to the emperor's grandson, which may be of some help in the future.

So he said to Hu Yanjin again: "Over there, another person has been sent to take over your affairs, but it is said that his health is getting worse and worse...... Alas, he is only in his forties, and it is difficult for him to hide for so many years.

Everything in the world, existence is truth. I advised them to go with the weather and let it go as soon as possible, but they would not listen, but would fight, and your father was the toughest of them......"

It was the first time Hu Yanjin heard Mr. Wu say such a discouraged word, so he couldn't help but look up at him twice, and Mr. Wu smiled:

"I'm a rotten wood, not afraid, but downlooked. You are still young, don't be too stubborn when you encounter problems, and look forward to everything. As long as the Ming Dynasty is good and the people of the Ming Dynasty are good, our original intention will be reached. This is what the teacher taught you, and you have to remember it. ”

Hu Yanjin nodded gratefully, he knew what Mr. Wu meant to him before he went to report to James's Mansion.

After saying goodbye to Mr. Wu, Hu Yanjin did not delay, casually packed up his clothes and money, and hurried to Yingtianfu in the starry night.

He had just left the city, and the adults in the Tianzi room of the Yuelai Inn were rewarded by catching their heads.

"Oh? The man left Baoying overnight and went south? Is it going to Yangzhou or Yingtian? What about the woman? ”

"The woman and the boy should be a family, and they didn't come out again after returning to Hua's house." Yan Zhutou replied, seeing that Master Yi frowned thoughtfully, and cautiously added:

"Li Zhutou and they are also back, we have too few people to search a large area, we only checked along the road, and found no trace of Chen Kai. Now it's dark again, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow......"

"It's impossible to chase him to Yangzhou and escape to him! Did the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division find out who Chen Kai was going to go to in Yangzhou? ”

Today, the young man they met was one of the directors of the Criminal Department, Yi Chengjin.

There are five directors in the Criminal Department, and he is the youngest one, and he will not be 20 years old until next year. But don't look at the fact that he has not yet reached the age of a weak crown, but he is already full of style, which is somewhat similar to his father-in-law who served as the left waiter of the Criminal Department.

"The letter I sent to them this morning should be ...... It's not that fast...... "Yan Zhu's head is a little sweaty, everyone is made of meat, a sentence at the top, and a broken leg at the bottom." He even felt that the surname of Master Yi should not be "Yi", but "difficult".

Although he became the principal, relying on his own performance in handling cases, everyone was afraid of him, most likely because of Master Wei, the left servant of the Criminal Department behind him.

Although Lord Wei is only a left waiter, he is actually the head of the criminal department. Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was imprisoned in the nineteenth year of Yongle for dissuading Emperor Yongle from the third personal conquest, and although the official was reinstated, the real power was no longer there, and the left attendant of the Criminal Department, Lord Wei, was in charge.

Yi Chengjin was accepted as a righteous son by Lord Wei since he was a child, and he was trained in both civil and military affairs, and entered the Criminal Department at the age of seventeen, and at the age of nineteen, he was promoted to the head of the sixth grade because of his ability to do things.

This time, the right guard of Tongzhou calmed Chen Kai, and participated in the rebellion between the eunuch Wang Yan and the entourage of King Zhao Meng Xian.

The change of ownership is to invite credit! Yan Zhutou was thinking wildly, only to hear Master Yi explain again: "Keep an eye on the Hua family for me, Chen Kai escaped, her family can't get out of it!" ”

Today, they chased forward and didn't catch anyone, Yi Chengjin suspected that the three people on the road were sloppy. Now that he heard that the eldest man had left the city in the starry night, his suspicions were even more reinforced.

Yan Zhutou answered, and hurriedly retreated from the room, for fear that Master Yi would make some new requests:

Alas, I'm so hard!
