Chapter 261: They Didn't Go Alone
Seeing Lin Zhi and the Qin family leave the alley and board the carriage, Steward Qiao turned around and looked at Gonggong Xu and the others with an expressionless face.
In the capital, he is a well-known Qiao owner in the mall.
His peers know that he has a good background, but they can't say why.
Except for the Lin family's own people, no one knew that he was the most loyal chief manager under the eldest princess behind the township monarch.
can do things for the eldest princess, and Qiao Guan naturally has some means.
In a few breaths, he figured out how to settle down.
When his men arrived, he had already thought about where the pickled eunuchs would hide, how to place the lightly injured and seriously injured, and where to bury the dead.
and the Qin family's carriage, which must also be put away.
Even the blood of this land......
Wash it off at night.
If it rains again in the middle of the night, it will be even more nowhere to be seen.
At the mouth of the alley, the frame of the eldest princess drove quickly towards the city gate.
The eldest princess of Pingyang handed a clean handkerchief to Mrs. Hou: "You are really a treasure knife. ”
Madam Hou laughed: "I didn't know your plan before, and I was very worried. ”
"I thought that my unsuccessful brother could endure it for another ten days and a half months, but he was so breathless!" The eldest princess of Pingyang said, "Thanks to your keenness, the arrangements were made properly before entering the palace, as far as I know, everything that should be left is gone, except for our car." ”
Hearing this, Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief.
The rest of the family and the Dingguo Mansion have been withdrawn, so it couldn't be better.
's own little daughter-in-law, doing things really steadily.
The eldest princess of Pingyang put away the smile on her face and said, "It's best to go out in front of the gate of the city, otherwise, you have to work hard." ”
The so-called strength is not the strength of the fist, but the nails that have been buried over the years.
The capital is garrisoned, and the Beijing guard commands the envoys, and they all have their own people.
It's just that it's not easy to bury, and once it's used, the nails are wasted.
If you don't use it, the eldest princess won't want to use it.
After receiving the news from the Marquis of Yongning's mansion earlier, she did not leave the city immediately, which is also the case.
After all, her surname is Zhao.
She is one of the most powerful women in the whole big week.
Unless the emperor names her and wants to detain her, who can risk offending her and force all kinds of reasoning with her?
The eldest princess chose the queen of the palace.
She knew which people had withdrawn one after another, and she also knew that Qin Luan was still in the Anguo Mansion, and Mrs. Hou had gone to Cining Palace.
The eldest princess personally stared at the gate of the West Palace, which was closest to Cining Palace, and asked Lin Zhi to stare at the Anguo Mansion.
Seeing that time was passing and it was not far from the gate of the palace, but Mrs. Hou was still missing, the eldest princess thought about entering the palace with some pressure.
She had to come in and out, so she could delay the guard for a little longer.
With Mrs. Hou's cleverness and the help of Concubine Shu, if you can't come out again, it will probably be extremely difficult.
Unexpectedly and reasonably, the eldest princess found that there was water in the palace.
Black billowing smoke rose into the sky, and outside the palace, she couldn't tell which palace it was, but she knew that Mrs. Hou could leave.
Sure enough, the palace door closed and opened quickly, and Mrs. Hou came out quickly.
In this case, there is no need for her to show up.
The eldest princess went to the Anguo Mansion again and met with Lin Zhi.
The two compartments combined, and they found that the eunuch Xu had laid an ambush.
When the Qin family's carriage entered Xisi Hutong, they went around to the front exit and waited to pick up people.
With Mrs. Hou's martial arts, a group of little thieves is no problem.
The eldest princess's beautiful phoenix eyes raised and asked, "Where did you go to the water before?" ”
"Changning Palace," said Mrs. Hou, "it's very sudden, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out." ”
"There......" the eldest princess sighed, knowing in her heart, "the queen mother is also a tempered person." ”
Mrs. Yongning Hou was slightly stunned, and immediately understood.
Just the right amount of water, this stroke comes from the queen.
And the one who pushed the closed palace door open directly was also arranged by the queen's mother.
Leaning on the frame, Mrs. Hou took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.
The family followed the edict of the first emperor and let the grown up emperor grandson obtain the throne, this road is justified, but it is very difficult to walk.
However, they are not alone.
The queen didn't have to wade into the water, and she still helped her without hesitation.
The carriage slowed down.
Qin Luan pursed his lips.
It seems that they were still a step too late, and the gates were closed.
The eldest princess and Lin Zhi nodded slightly.
The carriage stopped in front of the city gate, and Lin Zhi lifted the corner of the curtain, revealing half of her body, and glanced at the guards.
With such a luxurious frame, there is no need for the people in the car to speak, and the identity of the nobles inside is also known on the city gate.
The guards saluted.
A chief stood up and said respectfully: "Your Highness, country gentleman, are you going out of the city?" You two are a step late, it's already time, close it. ”
"Open." Lin Zhi simply said.
When the chief heard this, his face turned blue.
The eldest princess of Pingyang has a noble status, but she has a good temper and has never been embarrassed.
How can it be so abnormal today?
Lin Zhi saw that he didn't understand, and asked again: "What?" I can't speak well, let Your Highness have a few words with you? ”
Her voice fell, and as soon as she was clear, a woman's voice came out of the carriage.
"I'm in a hurry to get out of the city, hurry up and open the door, don't delay my business."
The chief took a breath.
It was indeed the voice of the eldest princess.
"Your Highness," said the chief, "the villain is also a duty, and the city gate is opened and closed for an hour, if you are in a hurry to get out of the city, you might as well go to the yamen first and let them sign the bill." As long as the garrison yamen says that you can go out of the city, the villain will open the door immediately. ”
The eldest princess of Pingyang glanced at the box on her side.
There was a signed slip in it, and she had the nails guarding the yamen prepared in the afternoon in case of emergency.
It's just that once this sign is taken out, when Emperor Ming'er searches it, it will be clear who opened the list.
It is not the way to continue to delay, and the eldest princess opened the box.
There is someone hiding near the city gate, as long as she pays the sign and goes out of the city, she will immediately send someone to inform Nail, and Steward Qiao will arrange the way back, and Nail's life is worry-free.
It's just that when it comes to guarding the yamen in the future, there will be no one.
was about to take the signing slip out, when suddenly, there was a "call" sound of stopping the horse outside.
Lin Zhi followed the sound and looked.
On horseback came an officer of about forty years, dressed in an official robe, who took something out of his bosom and threw it to the garrison commander.
The chief took it, approached the torch, and looked at it intently.
It's a railroad card.
The chief smiled and said, "My lord, it's okay for you to want to go out of the city with this iron card, but you have to wait for the city gate to open?" ”
"When the city gate is wide open, the people and officials come in and out, I want to go out, and I have to show you the cards?" The official snorted.
The guards were stunned.
It seems to be such a statement.
"Hurry up, the official is in a hurry to get out of the city," the official said, "the pedestrian department is doing things, you want to stop it?" ”
