Chapter 101: This is Chuzhou
So the villagers closed their eyes one after another according to Liu Cheng's request and mourned for the deceased.
Only a few bells were heard, and there was no movement for a while.
"Liu Xiucai?" Some villagers opened their eyes, but in the huge courtyard, there was no trace of Liu Xiucai for a long time.
"Did you go somewhere else?" Someone muttered.
Before they could figure it out, the courtyard door was kicked open, and a large crowd poured in.
"What are you doing?"
"The government is doing business, all squatting down, quiet!" Xu Yan waved his hand, "Search!"
More than 100 people searched for the whole yard, and after a while, the yard was turned upside down, and even the cellar was not spared.
But in the huge courtyard, there was no trace of Liu Cheng at all.
"Young Master, I didn't find it!"
"Young Master, I didn't find it!"
"Young Master, aren't you here?"
Xu Yan shook his head and said, "Impossible, let's search all the way from all directions, every house has been searched, and people must be in this courtyard!"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Yan said in a deep voice, "Check to see if the people present have changed their appearance."
When the family members heard this, they carefully checked it, and picked off everyone's faces, and finally found nothing abnormal.
Xu Yan muttered and asked, "Have you ever been here with strangers recently?"
"Yes, yes, there is a down-and-out show surnamed Liu!" The village chief in the crowd replied.
"What about people?" Xu Yan's eyes lit up.
"I don't know, I was there not long ago, I didn't know where I went just now......" The village chief said truthfully.
Just after closing his eyes, Liu Xiucai disappeared. Therefore, they also do not know Liu Xiucai's whereabouts.
At this point, the search was completely deadlocked.
The family had a bitter face and whispered, "Young Master, did the person run away? Are we late?"
"Alas, young master, we should have come last night! Today, after all, it's a step too late."
"Shut up!" Xu Yan scolded angrily, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He is also panicking now, if he lets Liu Cheng run away, he will definitely be punished again!
At this moment, the village chief asked, "Official, have you finished your investigation?" Can we go?"
"Let's go!" Xu Yan said impatiently.
"Okay, folks, carry the coffin and bury it!" The village chief shouted.
The funeral was time-sensitive, so they didn't want to delay.
With a shout, several people carrying the coffin next to them stepped forward, but as soon as they lifted it, their faces changed.
"Eh, why is this coffin so heavy?"
"yes, who made this coffin?"
"It's the same as before, it's because you feel wrong." The village chief was puzzled.
The group of villagers didn't think much about it, so they carried the coffin and walked out.
But the moment they went out, Xu Yan's expression changed, and he rushed out and shouted, "No, stop them!"
When a group of families heard this, they immediately blocked the villagers.
"Official, we want to be buried, are you still holding back?" The village chief said helplessly.
"Fuck off." Xu Yan's face was full of excitement, and he motioned to the villagers to put the coffin down, and then lifted the lid of the coffin without hesitation.
"Officials are not allowed!" The faces of the villagers changed dramatically.
But as soon as the lid of the coffin was lifted, everyone was dumbfounded.
Where is the deceased lying inside the coffin? The guy inside's eyes were rolling, and it was clearly Liu Cheng!
This kid just made everyone close their eyes, and he actually took the opportunity to hide in the coffin!
"Hey, Prime Minister, you have a lot of means, but it's a pity that the magic is one foot high and one foot high, and you still haven't hidden it from me." Xu Yan was very proud.
Liu Cheng is a well-known old fox, he sees through the old fox's strategy, doesn't it just show his intelligence?
Liu Cheng's face was pale, and he let out a long sigh, and then he climbed out of the coffin by himself.
Seeing this, the villagers asked, "Liu Xiucai, what are you doing here?
Huh?"
"This is a fugitive from the capital, extremely vicious, you all retreat away." Xu Yan said casually.
Hearing this, the villagers retreated one after another, and their eyes looking at Liu Cheng became very vigilant.
Xu Yan beckoned someone to go up and tie up Liu Cheng, then looked at the family next to him, and said proudly: "Look, my son said that today will be smooth, doesn't this just break the old fox's plan?"
Jia Ding scratched his head, and had to compliment: "The young master is amazing, when we go back, we will say a few more kind words for the young master, and the young master will definitely be rewarded by the emperor!"
"Well, you guys are indispensable!" Xu Yan nodded.
The group has already begun to discuss the matter of rewarding.
But the future is uncertain, and everything is uncertain.
Xu Yan obviously doesn't understand this truth.
The group of them tied up Liu Cheng unhurriedly, and was about to take people out of Xiaoyuan Village, but they bumped into a group of sergeants coming in from outside.
The sergeants are dressed in standard armor, and they are the Chuzhou Army!
"Young Master, let's run!" The family panicked.
Xu Yan's face changed suddenly, but he was just flustered for a moment, and then regained his composure and said, "It's okay, let's catch the thief in the name of the emperor, and no one dares to stop it."
"Are we really not running?" Jia Ding swallowed.
"No need to run." Xu Yan led everyone forward, and he wanted to negotiate with the generals of the Chuzhou army.
But who knows, the other party ignored him, and as soon as he got closer, he shouted, "Take them all, don't let any of them go!"
Everyone in the Xu family panicked instantly!!
"We were ordered by the emperor to catch the thief, and you dare to disobey?!" Xu Yan shouted vigorously.
Chuzhou Jun said indifferently: "This is Chuzhou, the fief of the King of Beishan."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of negotiating, Xu Yanxin was like ashes. He knew that because he was greedy for beauty last night, it was all over now!
And Liu Cheng was untied and laughed sadly beside him.
"After all, let me escape, you just wait for my revenge." There was a hint of madness in his eyes.
