Chapter 123: The Death of the Heroes and the End of the Road (4)
Cui Yi was a little confused, and after seeing him away, he removed the food box on the top, and saw the crumpled letter.
He was very nervous, and when he looked at it, he saw that it was the governor's handwriting, and the ink had not yet dried:
'Chen Gong Jingqi: Cui Yi has arrived here, because there are several things that are not easy to deal with, and he can't start for a while. I hope that Chen Gong will not be anxious, and after two more days, Ben Fu and Lianghou will be able to make proper arrangements. ’
"This bastard!" Cui Yi was so angry that his teeth trembled, and he suddenly threw the letter on the ground, "It turns out that the people of Guoxiang are hiding here, and they are discussing to arrest me!" ”
He stood up again, wandered anxiously a few times, and suddenly thought, 'Could it be...... Is this a divisive plan for the Hunan people? If the governor is only the head of the rat, I will force him to Chen Dang, which seems inappropriate......
But then he shook his head: "No, if he wants to take advantage of both ends, he should have concealed the news of my coming, why did he tell Chen Thief?" I'm afraid it's still a conspiracy to arrest me......
He couldn't figure it out, and decided to wait until the next morning, and then go to the governor to see the situation; Hold your ground tonight so as not to be noticed. So he put away his letters and ate as usual.
"I'll tell you a dangerous message, Epistle...... Nowhere to be found. ”
The governor had just lit the candle when he panicked, and his hands were burned.
"What...... When was it lost? He stared closely at the Hunan henchmen kneeling in front of the hall.
The henchman said: "At noon, I went out with the official, and out of kindness, I helped him carry the food box, and then because I wanted to relieve my hand, I put the food box on the middle hall temporarily. Who would have thought that when he came back, he would be gone. ”
"Alas, it's really evil today!" The governor's mouth muttered unhappily, "At noon, the stove room forgot to bring food to Cui Yi, and it didn't take long for the group of officials to come again, not to mention my orders, there is something to discuss; Now in the evening, the letters are gone...... Our yamen will soon become a grass platform team! After that, he deliberately glanced at the Guoxiang people beside him.
The Hunan people frowned and said, "My lord, what do you think about it, it's just an official document, what do ordinary people do when they steal it?" I'm afraid that it was taken away by the henchmen planted by the Ye Party. Maybe...... It's being held by Cui Yi now? ”
The governor's face was pale, and he only replied with a reluctant smile: "Cui Yi has only been here for a few days, so he shouldn't be so blatant." ”
The Hunan people then persuaded: "This is not a matter of relying on your 'should' and it will be over. If he really got the official document, but he didn't take action for a long time, he might have reported the news to the leaf thief. When the time comes, even your safety cannot be guaranteed. ”
"Instead of throwing fate to the heavens, it is better to preemptively arrest that guy immediately, so that there will be no hidden worries."
The governor pondered for a moment, and finally nodded towards him.
The next day, the rooster crowed, Cui Yi got up in full clothes, and first looked out the window vigilantly, but the guards still did not come back. He thought it was strange, but then he thought it reasonable: 'Probably the governor lost the letter, and was shocked and frightened, afraid that I would be suspicious, so it was.' It seems that he can still be moved. ’
After thinking about it, he pushed open the door and walked in the direction of the hall.
Walking through a shaded path, I saw the steps of the entrance to the hall, but the door was only hidden, and there was no noise everywhere, only a few birds chirping coldly.
He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, walked in lightly, and only then did he bypass the wall, he heard a few weapons slamming, hurriedly stared at the beads, turned around to leave, but was stopped by a few staggered waist knives, before the words could be spoken, the group of people held him hard, and a loud shout came from behind him: "Bring Cui Yi, the leaf thief henchman, to me!" ”
Cui Yi looked up, the governor was sitting in the middle, and the Hunan people were drinking tea in the corner and watching coldly.
"Slow," Cui Yi didn't panic at this time, but put on a smile with the last glimmer of hope, "Lord Governor, you have been bewitched by Chen Dang." It's not good for you to turn your face publicly, and Cui can still keep your position! You don't have to be afraid, now you still have time to decide, Cui only regarded this matter as a misunderstanding. ”
The governor hesitated, rubbed his fingers, bowed his head and muttered for a long time. The Hunan people couldn't help but straighten up, swallowed their saliva, and suddenly a small official broke in: "Report to the governor!" The villain found a letter from Chief Cui's residence! ”
The governor's eyebrows almost jumped, and he stretched out trembling hands: "Show me!" ”
He received it in his hand, glanced at it, and then looked up to the sky and laughed: "It turns out that it is really here in Cui Yi!" Lianghou is clever! Cui Yi listened, gradually closed his eyes full of loss, and accepted the cruel reality.
"Choi and Xun!" The governor turned to look at him resentfully, "You guys are actually trying to cover up the news and starve the people to death for the sake of Ye Dang's own interests, it's really better than animals!" Fortunately, Ben Fu still has a conscience and fights to the end against your thief party, otherwise how many innocent people will be killed! Left and right, immediately imprisoned Cui Thief, and by the way, posted an article to inform the people, so as to make people happy! ”
The Hunan people were full of red light and smug at this time, walked up to Cui Yi, and said with a smile: "Master Cui, you have thought about getting ahead all your life, and now you are about to become famous in the world, and the people of the world are scolding, is this to your liking?" ”
Cui Yi opened his eyes, his eyes were bloodshot: "Since I have paid everything for the new deal, I don't care about the hearts of the world. What's more, it's just a whitewash of your hypocrisy. I believe that one day, the people of the world will see your true face, don't think that you can sit firmly! ”
"How dare thieves be presumptuous!" The Hunan people were furious and kicked him in the chest, knocking him to the ground. A little blood flowed from the corner of Cui Yi's mouth, but there was no fear.
"Drag him out! Drag him out! Xiang was so angry that his face twitched, and he waved his hand many times, "Let's beat this fight to death first!" At that time, I will see if he has any backbone! ”
"The good marquis calms his anger...... "The governor persuaded while ordering his subordinates to retreat." Now let's think about how to deal with the aftermath. ”
The Hunan people sighed and said, "Cui Yi has been captured, I have to inform Lord Chen, and leave the rest to the capital." ”
"The villain is willing to run an errand for you." A confidant took the initiative to ask for help.
"No," Guo Xiang shook his head resolutely, "Lord Chen is at home, and there is only one king of Wanjun in the palace who can be counted on." But he and I really don't have the same heart, and if we do something in secret, we can't guard against it at all. That's why...... I was going to return to Beijing to report the news in person, and I had to take care of all the big and small things. You can help me stabilize the situation here. ”
The people couldn't dissuade him, so they had to let him go, and the Hunan people immediately said goodbye, simply packed their luggage, waved their horses, and set off on horseback.
