Yuzhi secretly followed the two people to the outskirts of the city, and by the bright moonlight, she saw clearly the two people walking in front of her, both wearing cyan uniforms, obviously from the public family.

The four black-clothed men escorted Cheng Shu to the south fence gate, and then stopped with confidence, Cheng Shu ran out of breath all the way, and asked breathlessly: "You just said that His Highness sent you to save me?" ”

Cheng Shu knew in his heart that Xiao Ying didn't send someone to kill him, it was already his ancestors who burned high incense, how could he dare to expect Xiao Ying to save him!

The man in black in the lead replied: "His Royal Highness instructed Master Cheng to leave Jiankang as soon as possible if you want to live, and he also prepared some gold and silver for you at the tea shop on Sanli Road outside the city, and told you to go and hide for a night first, and tomorrow morning, he will send someone to send your parents and go with you." ”

"Really?" Cheng Yu has always known Xiao Ying's temperament, and he also knows that Xiao Ying will not be so kind, not to mention that he knows so many secrets about him.

The man in black in the lead seemed to have seen his concerns, so he pouted again: "Master Cheng, you and Your Highness are now grasshoppers on a rope, if this rope is broken, no one will have a good time, you listen to the villain's advice, hurry up, don't come back!" ”

Cheng Yu thought about it carefully, what this person said was indeed such a truth, he and Xiao Ying are grasshoppers on the same rope, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, Xiao Ying must not dare to kill him easily, otherwise, he must have injured a thousand enemies and lost eight hundred.

"That being the case, then Cheng Mou will thank you a few of you first," Cheng said, turned his head and left, and hurried south in three steps and two steps.

Several black-clothed people glanced at each other, relieved as if they had made a mistake, and then turned back, intending to return to the palace to resume their lives.

Yuzhi and the two people from the public family saw the situation, and they were afraid that the four of them would see it, so they hurriedly retreated to the left and right to hide.

When the four black-clothed people had already gone farther, the two people from the public family flew out together, stepped on the cold wind, and quickly chased in front of Cheng Shi, who had not run far.

The two of them landed and turned their backs to Cheng Shu, Cheng Shu saw the people from the court chasing after him, and was naturally shocked, "You ......"

Before the words fell, the two of them had already turned around, faced Cheng Shu, and showed him the sign that was originally stuffed on their waists, and said in unison: "Tingwei Bureau!" ”

Cheng Shu recognized them, and Yuzhi hid in the shadows and saw their faces, and he had already recognized them.

It turned out to be the Tingwei Prison, and it was the two who followed Zheng Hui to Rouge Fang during the day and escorted Cheng Rate to Tingwei Prison.

The two court captains and supervisors tucked the brand in their hands back into their waists, and then escorted Cheng Yu back.

Cheng Yu was in a solemn mood, he had given up struggling, and he had given up escaping, he thought to himself, Xiao Ying could save him once, but I am afraid he couldn't save him a second time!

Yuzhi was still hiding in the dark, seeing that Cheng Shu was rescued and escorted back, she couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, seeing that the people from the Imperial Lieutenant's Office had already entered the city with Cheng Shu, she was also busy returning to the Hou Mansion.

Although it was dark now, Xie Zheng was waiting for the news of Yuzhi and had not yet rested.

Xie Zheng sat sideways in front of the dresser, supported with one hand, and was closing her eyes to take a nap, when she suddenly heard the sound of pushing the door, she heard the sound, she was awakened, she sat up slightly straight, and poked her head out.

It's really Yuzhi back.

"Lady!"

Yuzhi hurriedly called Xie Zheng, and when Xie Zheng saw that when she came in, she was still wearing the clothes of the guard of Tingwei Prison, so he knew that she had been to Tingwei Prison, and hurriedly asked, "How is Tingwei Prison over there?" What's going on? ”

Yuzhi said: "The king of Linchuan did send someone to Tingwei Prison, but not to kill Cheng Shu, but to rob the prison, they robbed Cheng Shu, escorted him to the south of the city, and told him to hide in the tea shop on Sanli Road in the southern suburbs for one night, saying that he would send his old father and mother to go on the road with him early tomorrow morning." ”

Xie Zheng only listened to Yuzhi say that Cheng Rate had escaped, but as for what she said later, Xie Zheng had no intention of listening to it, she was uneasy in her heart, and hurriedly asked, "Did Cheng Rate really escape?" ”

"I fled, but I was caught back," Yuzhi said, forcing a smile.

Xie Zhenghu was suspicious, and asked again: "What's going on?" ”

Yuzhi explained: "Cheng Shu was robbed by them, and the slave followed all the way, but found that there were two other people from the Imperial Governor's Office who also followed. Those few robbers only sent Cheng Rate outside the city, and asked him to go to the tea shop by himself, as soon as they left, the people from the Imperial Court Office naturally appeared, how far did Cheng Rate go at that time? The men of the Imperial Lieutenant Department restrained him without much effort. ”

"That's very good," Xie Zheng smiled on his lips, and then thought again: "You just said that the king of Linchuan asked Cheng to hide in the tea shop in the southern suburbs?" ”

"Yes, and said that he would send his old father and mother early tomorrow morning."

After Yuzhi said that, Xie Zheng thought about it, and she laughed and said: "If you want to capture the old people, it's really a good strategy!" ”

"Want to get away with it?" Yuzhi was confused when he heard this, and Xie Zheng continued: "I guess, he deliberately let Cheng Rate go, and then personally arrest him back early tomorrow morning, so that His Majesty will think that King Linchuan cleaned up the door, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring, and he has nothing to do with Cheng Shu's case." ”

"How does the lady know?"

Xie Zheng smiled lightly and said: "If he really wants to let Cheng go, he will naturally send Cheng's father and mother to the southern suburbs tea shop early, why wait until tomorrow morning?" This is clearly just to drag down the Cheng rate, a pretense. ”

At this point, she continued: "It's a good plan, but it's a pity, it's a thousand calculations, but the Imperial Lieutenant Office has already taken precautions. ”

Yuzhi also sneered, and said: "It doesn't matter what he thinks, in short, his plan has failed now, Cheng Shu has been arrested, and the interrogation is as usual, so the king of Linchuan will not repeat his old tricks, and find a few more people to rob the prison." ”

Xie Zheng smiled and said nothing.

At that time, in the palace of Wuling Wang, Zheng Hui hurriedly came to see Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye had already rested, and when he heard that Zheng was back, he knew that something must have happened to Tingwei Prison, so he hurriedly got up, didn't even bother to put on his coat, and went to the front hall with a big coat.

He walked to the front yard, and before he entered the front hall, when he saw Zheng Hui, he asked from afar: "Is there something wrong with Tingwei Prison?" ”

Zheng Hui hurriedly saluted, and then said, "The king of Linchuan has sent someone to rob the prison." ”

"Prison robbery?" Xiao Ye's face was incredulous, and he said: "With the third brother's brain, shouldn't he send someone to kill Cheng Rate, how could he rob the prison?" ”

Zheng thought about it for a while, and said, "I heard that the King of Linchuan went to Hanzhang Hall today, and this robbery ...... Presumably it is the meaning of the noble concubine. ”

Xiao Ye was also quite concerned about whether Cheng Rate had escaped, and he asked, "Is that a catastrophe done?" ”

"The robbery was completed, but the lower officials had already sent the court lieutenant and eunuch to guard in secret, and Cheng Yu fled to the southern suburbs and was arrested again."

"It's good to get it back," Xiao Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Zheng Hui then asked a little tentatively: "Your Highness, today the King of Linchuan sent someone to rob the prison, do you want to report this matter to Your Majesty?" ”

"No need," Xiao Ye immediately stopped, and said: "There is no evidence, beware of setting yourself on fire, today it will be as if something has happened, if your father asks about you, then you will say that someone came to rob the prison to try to save Cheng Shu, but did not rob him." ”

"Yes," Zheng Hui replied in a low voice, and Xiao Ye immediately said: "You go back, send someone to keep an eye on Cheng Shu, don't go wrong." ”

Zheng Hui arched his hand, "Yes, Xia Guan understands!" ”

In the Hanzhang Palace, Concubine Xie was sitting in front of the dresser, and a little palace maid was kneeling behind her, about to serve her to remove the pearl hairpin flowers on her head.

He Nushi walked in in a panic and exclaimed: "Niangniang! Big things are wrong! ”

"What's the fuss?" Concubine Xie didn't care, and she spoke lightly.

He Nushi came closely, waved his hand at the palace maid who was kneeling next to her, and motioned her to retreat, and when the palace maid retreated, He Nushi reported to her with confidence, but he whispered to her in his ear.

"What did you say!" When Concubine Xie heard this, she was also shocked, she clenched her fists, gritted her teeth with hatred, and scolded: "What a waste! He was sent out of the city, and he was caught again, what is the use of this waste, it is better to kill him as soon as possible! ”

"!" He Nu Shi Cheng was terrified, and hurriedly said: "Beware of the ears on the wall!" ”

"No! Tomorrow, His Majesty will definitely lead Cheng to the palace for interrogation, and when the time comes, he will confess if he can't keep Qi Guang'er, and the thought spent by this palace for so many years will be in vain! ”

"Niangniang......" He Nushi was worried in her heart, when she saw Xie Guifei's posture, she was also determined to kill Cheng Rate?

Just thinking about it, I saw Concubine Xie stand up and say, "This palace wants to go to Tingwei Prison in person!" ”

He Nushi was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! Niangniang, since Master Cheng has been arrested, now that Tingwei Prison must be heavily guarded, Niangniang is gone, isn't it just in the middle of it? ”

"But you can't sit still!" Xie Guifei said, angry and hateful, why did she raise such a waste son, she didn't succeed enough, and she had more than enough failures!

Concubine Xie was pacing in the dormitory, just like an ant on a hot pot, so anxious that she turned around, and He Nushi suddenly said: "Niangniang, the slave has a plan." ”

"Let's hear it," Concubine Xie finally stopped.

"Tomorrow, His Majesty will order Zheng Tingwei to personally escort Cheng Zhushu to the Shiqian Palace, we might as well send someone to set up an ambush at the palace gate, and when Zheng Tingwei escorts Cheng Zhushu to pass, our manpower will come forward and pretend to rob Cheng's masterbook, and then ask His Royal Highness to bring some people to rescue the scene, and kill Cheng Zhushu on the spot."

"No, this is too risky, there are patrols of the Northern Army in the imperial city, and there are guards guarding the palace gate, and there is no way for our manpower to sneak into the imperial city, besides, Your Majesty is not necessarily the first interrogation rate in the palace, and if you can't protect it, you will move the Imperial Captain's Office, what should you do then?"

After hearing this, He Nushi knew that he was thinking too one-sidedly, so he hurriedly excused himself, bowed his head and said: "The slave is dull!" ”

Concubine Xie thought about it, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly said, "There is a way!" Shao Yan, you go to Yu's house with the palace, and the palace wants to see Mrs. Yu. ”

Not long after, Xie Guifei quietly took He Nushi out of the palace, both of them wore cloaks, avoided the Northern Army all the way, and finally found Yu Yuangui's mansion with lanterns.

At this time, it was already the end of the year, and even the gatehouse guarding the gate of the house had already returned to the house to rest, not to mention Yu Yuangui.

Xie Guifei took He Nushi to find here, He Nushi hurriedly knocked on the door, and there were domestic slaves for a long time, who came to answer the door, but the door was opened by a crack where only one person could enter and exit, poked her head out, and asked sleepily: "Who are you?" ”

He Nushi said: "The head of the palace, this is a noble concubine, this time I came to find Mrs. Yu, and I have an urgent matter to discuss." ”

When the house slave heard that the two were from the palace, he looked at Xie Guifei from head to toe, still skeptical.

Suddenly, there was a patrol of the Northern Army here, walking towards here from a distance, Xie Guifei glanced back, lest she be seen, at this moment, the house slave finally opened the door of the mansion, and Xie Guifei hurriedly walked in with He Nushi.

"Taifu has already rested, the two of them are here for a while, let the villain go and pass the word," the house slave settled Xie Guifei and He Nushi in the reception hall in the front yard, and then quickly went to the backyard, he went to the outside of Yu Yuangui's house, knocked on the door again and again, and after a while, the door opened.

Yu Yuangui was only wearing a robe, standing inside the door, still holding the door with both hands, and reprimanded: "Why did you come here in the middle of the night to knock on the door!" ”

The house slave said: "There are two women outside, who come from the palace, and they claim to be noble concubines, saying that they are looking for you to discuss urgent matters." ”

Yu Yuangui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "But Concubine Xie?" ”

The house slave didn't recognize Concubine Xie, so he naturally shook his head and sneered: "The villain doesn't know ......."

Yu Yuangui walked out of the house, and while walking to the front yard, he gathered the robe on his body and stuffed it in three or two times, and then dressed in a proper manner, and went to meet the guests.

Xie Guifei and He Nushi were still standing in the guest hall, the two were waiting anxiously, Yu Yuangui came here, and sure enough, seeing that Xie Guifei was coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The old minister is late, please forgive the mother." ”

"Taifu, please get up quickly," Concubine Xie personally helped Yu Yuangui up, and said, "This palace has something important to ask you for help." ”

"Niangniang, please say," Yu Yuangui smiled flatteringly.

This Yu Taifu is his own person, and he has been with Xie Guifei for many years, Xie Guifei naturally trusts him, and now he has told the truth of the matter, Yu Yuangui learned that Cheng Yu was arrested and imprisoned again, and he was quite worried in his heart, Xie Guifei said: "I heard in this palace that Yu Taifu has a cousin, who is on an errand in the Imperial Lieutenant's Office, can you please ask him to be accommodating, this palace has a few words of instructions with Cheng Rate." ”

Yu Yuangui looked embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Lao Chen does have a distant cousin who serves as the court lieutenant supervisor in the court lieutenant office, but it is a few generations apart, not to mention that he is far away, not to mention how many years he has not been in contact, this trip, he may not be willing to pay attention to the old minister." ”

"Having said that, but Taifu, you are always an elder, no matter what, as a junior, you will always be given a few thin noodles," Xie Guifei then said: "As long as the palace has a pillar of incense, I will give a few words of instructions at the same rate." ”

"Since the mother opened her mouth to mention it, then ...... The old minister was willing to give it a try, "Yu Yuangui said, so he asked Xie Guifei to go out of the house with him, and on the last night of the Northern Army Patrol, they had already gone home, and they took a carriage to the Tingwei Prison located on the west side of Beichi Road, outside the Datong Gate.
