Chapter 393: The Verge
Xiao Linhui originally suggested that Xiao Lingwei go out of the city when the city gate was just opened, but Xiao Lingyun said: "The city gate has just opened, and there are not many people coming in and out, and the guards have enough time to check the people who enter and exit, which is very unfavorable to Weiwei." ”
Therefore, Xiao Lingwei chose to go out of the city in the morning when the city gate was the most crowded and lively.
"Wait a minute, let's see how it goes."
Xiao Lingwei stopped at the mouth of the alley and poked her head out to see the situation at the city gate, and Lan Hai and the others also stopped and looked at the city gate.
They were dressed in tatters, their hair was messy and covered most of their faces, their faces were muddy, even their exposed necks and hands were dirty, and each of them had a broken bowl in his hand. If you smell it carefully, there is a bad smell on them.
Whoever sees them will think that they are real beggars.
"Stop, you go." The general guarding the city gate captured a slender young woman and handed it over to his men.
The guard pointed to a basin of water and ordered, "You, wash your face." ”
The woman was puzzled: "Why?" ”
The guard urged impatiently: "Where is so much nonsense, if you are told to wash it, you will wash it." ”
The woman's face flushed, and a sense of shame welled up in her heart, and she said angrily: "How can you ask a girl to wash her face on the street?" You... You're too much of a bully. ”
Then he stomped his foot, "I'm not out of town, huh." "Turn around and leave.
But he was caught, it was the general guarding the city gate, he stared at the woman's face up and down, and kept checking the drawing paper in his hand, and after a while, he pushed the woman to his subordinates: "She is very suspicious, arrest her." ”
"No, hey, why did you arrest me?" The woman struggled: "Let go of me, let go of me..."
Xiao Ling's face changed slightly, and she looked to the other side, there were many basins of water at the gate of the city, and the guards were holding handkerchiefs in their hands.
When the portrait in the guard's hand inadvertently faced her, she saw that the person on it was herself.
She observed for a while, and found that almost everyone except for the dignitaries whose faces could be determined at a glance had been subjected to strict scrutiny by the guards. Regardless of men and women, young and old, or check the arms, waist, and legs to see if the figure is camouflaged; Or pinch your face to see if you're wearing a human skin mask or something; What's more, when these can't be checked, let them wipe their faces and wash their faces to determine their appearance. Of course, in order not to offend women and deal with those who refused to cooperate, there were also palace ladies to help.
Xiao Ling retracted her gaze slightly and leaned against the wall, her mood was unprecedentedly heavy. She thought that as long as she disguised herself in place, she would definitely be able to get out of the capital. But I didn't expect that the emperor did such a desperate job, and he clearly wanted to force her to death.
No, he's already put a bounty on her head, and he just wants to kill her.
"What to do? Miss, they are so strict, how can we get out? Lan Hai was in a hurry, as long as he wiped his face or washed his face, they would be completely exposed.
Shen You suggested: "Miss, let's go to other city gates." ”
Shen Niangzi said: "I guess the other city gates are like this..."
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance of the alley: "Get out of the way, the government will handle the case..."
"Knock knock."
"Open the door, open the door, the government will handle the case..."
The faces of the crowd changed dramatically.
Xiao Lingwei hurriedly walked into the depths of the alley: "Hurry up." ”
......
As soon as they left the alley, a group of people appeared at the south city gate, which was Yang Bohan and his party.
Steward Yang was waiting at the gate of the city early in the morning, and when he saw Yang Bohan at this time, he seemed to see the backbone of the main heart, and excitedly stepped forward: "The eldest master, the second master, the eldest young master." ”
Yang Bohan's expression was very serious, because he had just seen the portraits of Xiao Lingwei in the hands of those guards, "What's going on?" They all hold pictorial portraits. ”
Steward Yang's face was gloomy, "This matter will not be clear for a while, and it is not convenient to say it here, let's get in the carriage and talk about it." ”
The carriage shuttled through the streets, and there were Yang Mansion guards following him, as long as the voice was quiet, he was not afraid of being heard. So, Steward Yang told everything that had happened recently in the carriage.
Yang Bohan's expression became even heavier, "I wanted to rush back to see my father on the last journey, but I didn't expect to catch up in the end, alas..."
Yang Er and Yang Gang also became sad when they heard this.
"Is grandmother well?" Yang Gang asked.
Steward Yang replied: "Originally, some time ago, Miss Biao came to take care of the old lady every day, and the old lady's condition improved, but I didn't expect to get the news that His Majesty had offered a reward to kill Miss Biao this morning, and I was so angry that I fainted.
"But the three masters don't have to worry, there was news from the house just now, the old lady has woken up, it's just, the body..."
The three of them understood what he meant, and after a series of blows, the old lady's body was afraid that she would not be able to withstand it.
Yang Bohan instructed the coachman: "Hurry up." ”
......
The three brothers of the Yang family stood in front of the door like three mountains with spears in their hands, "No one wants to enter without a holy decree." ”
Suo Meng was so angry that his face turned blue: "This general has His Majesty's message..."
"Who knows if what you said is true or false, recently there has been a shortage of soldiers and bandits, how do I know who is the thief who is falsely preaching the holy decree, and who is the messenger sent by His Majesty." Yang Shuo didn't give an inch: "Unless you come up with the holy decree, don't think of entering our Yang Mansion for half a step." ”
"You..." Suo Meng had no choice but to order his subordinates: "Surround the Yang Mansion first." ”
"Yes." As a result, the Long Wu army dispersed and surrounded the Yang Mansion.
The three brothers of the Yang family stretched their faces, but they were helpless about Suo Meng's actions. The Yang family now has no military power, although the generals can each fight against ten, but at this juncture, they can't fight with the Long Wu Army, otherwise it will be a rebellion.
Suo Meng looked at the three brothers again: "You guys are blocking General Ben from entering, there must be a ghost in your heart, Xiao Lingwei is in the Yang Mansion, right?" ”
Yang Zhao said expressionlessly: "Not there." ”
Suo Meng immediately followed his words and said, "Since Xiao Lingwei is not in the Yang Mansion, then why are you stopping General Ben to go in and search?" ”
Yang Zhao said again: "Since my grandmother passed away, she has been overly sad and in poor health, you are careless, I am afraid that you will disturb my grandmother's rest." ”
Clarity is an excuse.
"General Ben promises not to disturb Old Madam Yang's rest."
Yang Shuo blurted out: "No, no one can enter without a holy decree." ”
"You..." Suo was so angry that he stretched out his finger to point at them, and shouted: "I see that you are clearly weak-hearted, Xiao Lingwei must be hiding in the Yang Mansion." ”
Suo Meng shouted loudly: "Everyone listens to the order, the Yang Mansion harbors the thief, rush in for me, if there is resistance, kill me." ”
"You dare?" The three brothers of the Yang family turned their guns and aimed them at Suo Meng.
"You see if I dare, rush." Suo Meng waved his hand, and everyone rushed to the gate of the mansion.
Battle, on the verge of breaking out.
Yang Shuo was furious and rushed out first, and just as his gun was about to touch the Long Wujun in front of him, he was suddenly snatched away and almost fell.
"Who is it?"
......
