Chapter 253: The Cause of Death in a Past Life (Part II)
Lin Yi held Xiao Xiao's hand tightly, and the palms of both of them were cold sweat. Listening to the sound of ruts, I was afraid that someone would suddenly come out of nowhere. The maids and mothers-in-law who followed outside the carriage did not dare to make a sound, and the women in the carriage were also cautious in their breathing.
After all, the sword is not long-sighted, and no one knows whether it can get out of the city smoothly, and if the situation changes suddenly, everyone will die here.
Thanks to Master Jiang's younger brother who is doing business, he promised to give the land and shops to the generals who defended the city, otherwise those people received the gold and silver in front of them, why should they let them out of the city again, and Master Jiang also relied on this to feel that this trip was safe.
Xiao Xiao was very scared and protected Lin Yi in his arms, Lin Yi touched Xiao Xiao's thin fingers, and suddenly felt sad in her heart. Thinking about how happy their family was when they entered Beijing.
Mrs. Jiang said in a low voice, "It should be fine." ”
Xiao Xiao nodded, so that everyone seemed to have a little more confidence.
Lin Yi also believes that there is at least eight points of hope to be able to get out of the city, since the guard is greedy for money, he is not only greedy for the Jiang family's money, if he regrets killing the Jiang family, who will send the money to the door in the future, will it not cut off his financial route? When you do business, you must have integrity, and there is still a point of consideration for guarding the general.
The carriage came to a stop at the city gate, and Mrs. Chiang sent someone to inquire. After a while, the Kung Fu family came and said, "There is still a carriage out of the city ahead, let's wait for a while." ”
And the carriage out of town? The ladies in the carriage looked at each other in surprise. Although he had already thought that the city gate guards would not only let the Jiang family go, they did not expect to collide with others.
"There are still a lot of carriages," the mother-in-law outside the carriage whispered, "I'm afraid it's the dignitaries in Beijing." ”
The dignitaries of Kyori were also released from the city. Lin Yixiang asked the woman how many carriages she had, but she was embarrassed to speak, after all, she was the slave of the Jiang family.
Mrs. Jiang didn't ask, but after a while, there was another sound of carriages, and Lin Yi opened the curtain and looked out, only to see a lot of windproof lanterns flickering. The sound of horses' hooves was incessant, and there were even officers and soldiers who came to hail the carriages out of the city.
Lin Yi looked at Mrs. Jiang, "It's a bit strange that so many people are out of the city. ”
Mrs. Jiang also felt strange, and it was not easy to bribe out of Beijing. The Jiang family entrusted many people to the guard, and the guard was not willing to accept anyone's money, and there were many dignitaries and dignitaries who wanted to take this road before and were stopped back.
If you think about it smaller, it's because the gatekeeper is greedy for money, and when you think about it bigger...... "Is there a change in the political situation in Beijing?" Lin Yi looked at Mrs. Jiang.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't figure it out, and shook her head, "It's too late to say anything now, the master has already handed over the money." We regret it now, lest the guard suspect us and attack us. ”
No decision can be made at this time. The Jiang family made up their minds to leave, and Lin Yi and Xiao Xiao had no choice but to follow.
Everyone waited for a while, and there was a sound of footsteps, and the mother-in-law outside said: "Mrs. put on the hat, the officers and soldiers are coming to check." ”
This is the step that has been agreed before. Otherwise, it is not known who is in the carriage.
Lin Yi, Xiao Xiao, and Mrs. Jiang put on their hats and waited for the officers and soldiers to open the curtain of the carriage to see. Who knew that those people were reluctant to come, and the mother-in-law outside the car was in a hurry, and Master Jiang came over and said, "I'm willing to let go." Wait a little longer, everybody. ”
It was released without inspection, which was very different from what I thought before.
Why would the gatekeeper be in a hurry to release people out of the city? If it is not inspected, there will only be two reasons, either it is to reassure the Jiang family, or there is no need to inspect it at all, if the people in the carriage cannot survive, of course there is no need to check. The generals guarding the gate will not kill people in the capital, but when they leave the city, what will those officers and soldiers do if they catch up and kill people?
Lin Yi really got nervous at this time.
As he pondered, the carriage had already begun to move forward, and listening to the sound of ruts, the carriage was getting closer and closer to the city gate. Lin Yi really felt that life and death were just a moment.
The bluestone bricks unique to the city gate are particularly loud when horses step on them. I don't know how long it has been, but it feels like an hour.
Finally, the sound of the horse's hooves changed, and everyone in the car breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Yi became more and more nervous.
The mother-in-law outside the car whispered, "Madam." It's okay, let's come out. ”
Out of the city gate, I don't know if there is a garrison outside, it's also strange, the rebels and the army sent by the emperor are still fighting outside the city, but there has been no sound for the past two days,
Mrs. Jiang said: "It's better to say that we escaped from Beijing, and we won't do anything to us, and besides, my old man is a small official, even if the above blames me, I can't blame us, but we are unwilling to go along with the traitor." ”
That's why everyone thinks it's safer to go out of the city.
Under Mrs. Jiang's comfort, Xiao Xiao took Lin Yi's hand and let go.
The Jiang family instructed the carriage to go quickly, so that it could meet with the people who met the Jiang family earlier.
Mrs. Jiang said: "I don't know if the people who walked before are on the same path as us." ”
I have already inquired about it on weekdays, but at this time, no one cares about it, let alone where those people have gone.
The road out of the city is quite flat, but it is not clear at night, and it is inevitable that it will be bumpy, such bumps make people feel at ease, although it is not easy to hurry, but no one is to stop it.
Lin Yi and Xiao Shi leaned against each other and slowly calmed down, and for a while they seemed to be about to fall asleep. Lin Yi was in a daze, but the carriage suddenly stopped.
Before Mrs. Jiang could ask, the voice of the mother-in-law came from outside, "It's time to catch up with the carriages before." ”
Originally, the carriages of the two families were out of the city with their front and back feet, and if they took the same road, they would have met.
After a while, the next person inquired, "The carriage in front is from the national family." ”
The cars and horses of the country's grandfather's family, the country's grandfather's family is not an ordinary dignitary, no wonder there are so many cars.
The generals guarding the door must have taken a lot of benefits, and even dared to let out the family surnamed Guoye.
The carriage paused for a moment, the ladies drank some water, and were about to continue walking, when someone saw torches gathering in this direction, and the men outside were startled, and Master Jiang immediately ordered the carriage and horses to move forward.
A large family, no matter how much they walk, they can't compare to those officers and soldiers who chase after them on horseback.
Soon the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers was heard, and the servants outside were in a mess.
The carriage is the most conspicuous, there are lights in the carriage, and there are people carrying lanterns outside the carriage, Mrs. Jiang is not knowing what to do, Master Jiang came over and said: "We will go separately from the family surnamed Guo." ”
Mrs. Jiang answered.
Lin Zhengqing's voice came from outside, "Let the subordinates extinguish the lanterns, and the lights in the car are also extinguished." ”
Master Jiang thought it was good, so he separated from the carriage of the country's family on the fork in the road.
Although the lights are off, there will still be traces of the carriages and horses, but there is no better way, so I have to look forward to chasing the soldiers to chase the country's family.
Often things don't go as planned. When it was dawn, I thought I had thrown the pursuers down, but who knew that I met the carriage of the country's family. The two families hid together, and Mrs. Jiang asked people to inquire about the descendants of the country's grandfather's family, only to know that it was the country's grandfather's family, Master Zhou, and the eldest lady who took their children out of Beijing.
The female dependents listened to some news here, and Master Jiang and Lin Zhengqing also probed the situation from the front.
Master Jiang's face was solemn, and Lin Zhengqing's eyes flickered.
Mrs. Jiang didn't care about anything else, so she asked Mr. Jiang, "Did the master inquire about anything?" ”
Master Jiang wanted to speak and stopped.
Lin Zhengqing said in a low voice: "Master Zhou is probably taking others out of Beijing in the car, and he is not close to it, those officers and soldiers should be chasing the country's surname, and it is better for us to separate from them earlier." ”
Who did the family take out of Beijing?
Mrs. Jiang said: "I'll just say, the Queen Mother is still in the palace, and the family surnamed Guo is the mother of the Queen Mother, how can she escape from the capital regardless of this time." It turns out that the female dependents are just helping to cover up, in the end, the family surnamed the country is doing big things, and everyone is in their hearts about political affairs, and the female dependents also help to go on this trip, unlike us who just take care of running for their lives. ”
Master Jiang sighed, "If you don't take your position, you can't seek your own government, our family is safe," he said and looked at the mother-in-law who was following the car, "Serve the good wives and young ladies, we are leaving." ”
The mother-in-law promised to come down and busy tidying up the carriage, and everyone in the Jiang family followed, and everyone had to start moving forward again.
Before the coachman could drive the horse away, another man shouted, "Quick...... The officers and soldiers came...... Kill...... Killed. ”
Mrs. Jiang's face suddenly turned pale.
The coachman panicked and tightened the reins, and the horses seemed to be frightened, and tread their hooves back and forth restlessly.
Immediately followed by Lin Zhengqing's voice, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Come on. ”
After many twists and turns along the way, they all turned danger into danger, and this time they felt that the rebels were very close to them, and the sound of horses' hooves came, as if they could smell blood.
The irresistible sense of fear grew stronger as the screams of the family outside intensified. No one can be calm anymore. Someone has already died, and those people will not be relentless. The last glimmer of hope is gone, and being caught up is a dead end. Now everyone is beginning to regret it, if they knew this, they shouldn't have tried every means to get out of Beijing, so that they wouldn't meet the country surnamed Ye, so naturally they didn't have to be implicated.
The carriage was forced to stop. There was a voice from outside that Mr. Jiang argued, "We are the Jiang family of Taiyuan Mansion, and the cars are full of female dependents, and we are ...... with the guards of the city" The voice came to an abrupt end unnaturally.
Outside, the screams of the servants were heard.
Mrs. Jiang couldn't sit still any longer, and opened the curtain to look out.
