142. Panic
This time, without waiting for him to finish his calculations, he arrived at the gate of the city, and as always, was stopped.
"What for?" The guard at the gate of the city looked fierce: "The city is about to be closed, what are you going out to do at this time?" ”
Zhao Si was used to it, and this time he wasn't too surprised, he just jumped down from the carriage and put on a flattering smile: "Two officials, the villain came to the capital to do some small business and provide some supplies for those shops." Business is not good, no, the store is a little picky, and it has been delayed until now. I also hope that the two officials will be accommodating. “
As he spoke, he smiled and skillfully took out a few silver tickets: "It's really hard for several officials to guard here at night." Be careful, not respectful, and ask the two officials not to dislike it. ”
Seeing that the two of them really accepted it unceremoniously, Zhao Simian did not change, but he was secretly distressed in his heart. This time, because he lost the most valuable Xu Rui, he didn't make much money, so he had to give some to these two people, not to mention how depressed he was.
Later, after discovering that Xu Rui's kid was lost, Zhao Si also drove the carriage to look for it. He had only been on the road once, and it seemed that he had heard some movement, so after thinking about it, he pretended to walk on that road a few times inadvertently, and found nothing unusual, so he had to give up.
As for why it's so late, of course, it's not because, like he said, he's busy reasoning with merchants. It's just that I'm happy just because I took the money. However, this is naturally not something that can be said directly.
The two goalkeepers were very impatient. After all, in the past few days, someone on top has asked them to investigate more strictly, and several of them have been standing guard for a longer time. Seeing Zhao Si's obvious share of the silver ticket, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of satisfaction in each other's eyes.
After looking left and right, seeing that no one was paying attention, the two quietly held the silver ticket in their hands, and one of them said in a somewhat kind tone: "Okay, you go, early in the future." "Such a small trader with an obvious identity should not be very suitable for the suspicious person who deliberately followed the above requirements. It's okay to let it go.
"Okay, thank you, two officials." Zhao Si's heart was relieved, jumped into the carriage, and he was about to hurry up and get out of the city.
"Why?" At this moment, a roar suddenly came from the distance. The two of them stood up straight in an instant, and Zhao Si also stopped.
"Captain." The man approached, and the two hurriedly saluted. One of them had not had time to put the money in his pocket, so he could only hold on tightly, and he did not dare to move his hand.
The man who came was the captain of the city gate. He glanced up and down at Zhao Si and looked at the two of them: "What's the situation?" ”
"This man is a petty vendor who supplies shops. I came out late today, and it's not yet the time for lockdown. ”
Zhao Si only said two sentences ambiguously, implying that he was here to sell goods, but did not say it explicitly. And the two of them automatically gave him an identity. Without him, just saying this is also defending the two of them.
"Really?" The chief glanced at Zhao Si twice, his face seemed to be convinced, and he only asked, "What are you selling?" ”
Zhao Si panicked. He struggled to maintain his composure, explaining: "Villains sell small things, and if they can't be on the table, they won't say anything and dirty the ears of adults." ”
Although he has been coming and going so many times, he has also talked about some cities. It's just that these few times back and forth, he has seen the soldiers at the city gate, and he has never intersected with more powerful characters. Moreover, such a thing was not in his plan, and Zhao Si was inevitably panicked.
If it was still the same as before, thinking that he had only sold a few children, Zhao Si didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him in his heart. But since he knew that the children he sold were used for that purpose, and he had just done that kind of thing not long ago......
Probably because there was a ghost in his heart, Zhao Si instinctively felt that he was coming for himself. He couldn't control his panic for a second, but he quickly adjusted again: "The villain is really stupid today, he was so busy that he forgot to look at the time, which almost delayed the time to get out of the city." I also hope that the adults will be accommodating and spare the villain this time. ”
When he came, the gates were about to close. This delay came just in time when the gates were closed. So now, whether you can get out or not depends on whether this adult is accommodating or not.
"Oh? Can't say? The man said nonchalantly, "Say, there's nothing I can't hear." ”
Zhao Si was taken aback. This shows that today is not so easy to pass. Looking at this person's posture, he doesn't look like a person who can solve it with money. Zhao Si could only continue to make it up with difficulty: "Just, that kind of thing is used, you know." ”
Coincidentally. If Zhao Si said something else, it would be okay, but he said something like this. Thinking of the above command, the captain of the city gate looked slightly downcast.
A few days ago, I received an instruction from above, saying that I should check the people entering and exiting, but I didn't go into details. He didn't know why, so he asked someone to inquire. Fortunately, he knew a person from Dali Temple, and he only told him that he didn't know, but it was probably that kind of thing.
The man also told him that it would be better to check out the people who had come out of that place and were going out of the city.
So now...... The captain waved his hand: "The city gate is about to close, you can go back." ”
Zhao Si: !
The smile on Zhao Si's face froze. He tried to struggle a little more: "Adult, there is really an urgent matter in the small family, you ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the captain interrupted him impatiently: "Don't worry about any urgency, you have to return to me honestly." ”
Seeing that the argument was fruitless, Zhao Si could only admit it. He still had a smile on his face, but he could see a bit far-fetched in the end: "Okay, the villain will go back." ”
The moment he turned around, Zhao Si's brows furrowed. Originally, even if it was postponed for a day, it was nothing, he just did it on purpose, and he liked to set off at night. But now......
They're probably coming for me! Such thoughts have never been clearer. Zhao Si hurriedly drove back. If he can't get out of the capital, he can also find a hidden place to hide.
By the way, he sells the backyard of the place where the child is sold! It's very secluded. From the location of the place and the fact that some people dare to do that kind of thing in the carriage in the backyard, it can be seen that it is really hidden.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Si hurriedly put the carriage in an inn and asked for a room, making the illusion that he was staying there, but in fact, he took advantage of the night to secretly run to the backyard there to hide.
As everyone knows, the moment he left, someone quietly followed him. And because I followed him, I found the place very smoothly.
