"Here, here. Come and see. "A team of horsemen who had been searching all night finally found a trace by a dog cave near the city wall in the south of the city.

The small flag that led the team came over to take a look, and sure enough, there were traces of humans crawling over.

Don't ask how that little flag knows, it's all tears.

However, seeing this trace, Xiaoqi's face changed. Since someone climbed out, does it mean that those bastards have sneaked out of Shenjing?

"Stay here and don't let anyone come near." Xiaoqi hurriedly gave an order, and regardless of whether his subordinates heard it or not, he ran away like a frightened rabbit.

Those Tiqi and wrestlers had no choice but to honestly guard near the dog cave, with a fierce and vicious look.

However, most of the people in Nancheng are civilians, many of them are poor and timid, and there are many hooligans and scoundrels. Seeing a team of Jinyi Mansion guarding the edge of a dog hole, there was a lot of discussion.

Don't mention these, that Xiaoqi returned to the Baihu Office and hurriedly reported to the Baihu adults who stayed behind. Then the upper half of the layer to the command envoy yamen.

When Shen Yi heard the news, he angrily dropped the cup. After searching all night, he still let those few escape when he knew the specific clues, and Shen Yi felt that he couldn't keep his head.

But now is not the time to think about this, Shen Yi didn't have time to think about it before he left for Daming Palace.

Jia Lian had just gone down to the court at this time, and it was another nonsense at the court meeting just now. But there's something new.

The newly promoted Imperial History of the Imperial Court impeached Sun Cheng, the head of the household department. The two of them were at loggerheads in the court, and they didn't give in to each other.

Sun Cheng's chubby face was flushed with anger, and he almost died on the spot.

Strangely, Sun Cheng is one of the most important representatives of Prince Yizhong in the court. And that imperial history is a rising star of Prince Yiping's lineage.

Jia Lianle was watching the play while pondering, could it be that the two kings planned to risk infighting?

After going down to the court, Jia Lian did not plan to enter the palace to meet Emperor Longzheng. But he found Lin Ruhai for the first time, and he always felt that he couldn't understand this matter today.

However, Lin Ruhai saw that Jia Lian's eyes were a little complicated, and after listening to Jia Lian's question, Lin Ruhai did not answer immediately, but said: "Lian'er, I know a small shop, it sells well early, let's go try it?" ”

Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai's expression, and his eyes moved slightly. But he soon smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't tasted many snacks in Shenjing." The main thing is that there is not much time. Let's try it. ”

Sure enough, Jia Lian and Lin Ruhai arrived at an early stall not far from the imperial city. Bean juice, fried dough sticks, tofu brain, steamed buns, are all things like this.

Jia Lian asked for a bowl of tofu brain, two fried dough sticks, and two steamed buns filled with leeks and eggs. Although he had just drunk a big bowl of porridge before going out, Jia Lian felt that there should be no problem for him to eat more.

I took a bite of the bun and it tasted good. Jia Lian looked at Lin Ruhai, who was slowly drinking bean juice, and asked, "I haven't been to see my sister for a while, how is my sister lately?" ”

"Okay, I can eat and sleep, Ruowei just came to see it yesterday and left a prescription and medicinal food.

That's a good boy, and my family, including your Aunt Mei, has her help. The body and bones are much healthier than before. ”

Jia Lian also smiled, thinking of Liang Ruowei, who was tossed by himself until midnight yesterday and got up early this morning to prepare to hurry, and also felt that he had chosen to marry Liang Ruowei in the first place.

Especially after intimacy, I found out that Liang Ruowei actually had a top famous weapon, and it was unforgettable to think about.

Seeing Jia Lian as usual, Lin Ruhai wanted to speak several times and stopped. Jia Lian suddenly smiled: "Uncle, if you have anything to say, why should you be like this?" ”

Lin Ruhai relaxed a lot when he heard this: "Okay, then I'll say it directly, Lian'er, what do you think about capturing those escaped widows?" ”

"Widows?" Jia Lian really didn't expect that what Lin Ruhai wanted to say was this. If he were to say that he was a minister, he shouldn't pay attention to this kind of thing.

No, Jia Lian, who was about to speak, suddenly thought that Lin Ruhai was not a curious person. He must have a reason to pay attention to this matter.

After a little pondering, Jia Lian understood.

"Uncle, I'm afraid you want to ask, do I use the lives of the people of Dazheng as a bargaining chip in the political dispute in the court."

Lin Ruhai showed an embarrassed expression on his face. However, it quickly converged. After nearly 20 years of fighting in officialdom, Lin Ruhai didn't know what embarrassment was.

"I don't want that, I'll be disappointed!"

Jia Lianle smiled, he also understood Lin Ruhai's concerns. Although it is not obvious now, it is because the Japanese people have not yet started, and the court is currently mainly engaged in the upcoming tributary ceremony.

When the tribute is over, the envoy returns to his home country. It was not even necessary to wait for the end of the tribute, and once the news of the Japanese envoys being taken by Dazheng reached the Japanese slaves, I am afraid that the Tokugawa shogun would immediately order an attack on the court.

Jia Lian looked up and saw Shen Yi riding a horse walking this way. Then he stood up: "Uncle, I understand what you mean. I can tell you that I did it all because I needed to report the crime.

I, Jia Lian, have never been shy about my opinions, and even now the momentum of honorable and noble China's aid to the DPRK was created by me.

But I will never use the lives of the people of Dazheng as a bargaining chip. Those few ghosts will definitely be escorted back to Shenjing and cut by a thousand knives. ”

"My lord, the south of the city has found traces of the Japanese sneaking out of Shenjing." Shen Yina reported loudly before he stopped.

When Lin Ruhai heard this, he stood up. It was only for a moment, and it suddenly happened.

"Lian'er, you just said it, you already knew, right."

Jia Lian was afraid that Lin Ruhai would say something wrong, and he himself was excited just now. Hurriedly stopped Lin Ruhai's words: "Uncle, don't worry, I won't do what you said." I'm going to go to Nancheng to have a look, so go back quickly.

Say hello to my sister on my behalf, I'm done tonight to see her. ”

After speaking, he winked at Lin Ruhai before taking the reins handed by Qing'er and leaving on the horse.

Outside Shenjing City, there is an ordinary farmhouse courtyard. Jinyi Mansion and the others have almost rummaged through Shenjing, and the four people who are looking for them are hiding here.

Hashimoto walked around anxiously, and Yamashita and Yamamoto were also very uneasy. It had been hours since the strange masked man had brought them here from the city. But there was no response, just told them to wait for the letter.

If it weren't for Inoue's calmness, several wouldn't have been able to stay.

"Squeak", the wooden door of the house was pushed open, and a masked woman walked in.

"Finally someone, you ......" Hashimoto heard the voice and immediately ran over, shouting as he ran, but soon there was no sound.

Inoue and the others followed curiously. What I saw was Hashimoto's sluggish pig brother-like face.

"Flower Girl!"
