Chapter 343: Didn't He Run Away? (Ask for a commuter pass)

The information provided by Shopkeeper Feng could not help but tell Pei Zhan to them.

After Wan Binlou had a conversation with Mrs. Ning, Fu Zhen sent Guo Song to the camp to send a message to Pei Zhan.

After the words came out, she thought about it and changed her mind again: "Is there a lot of things going on in the general's next day?" ”

Guo Song said: "It's not much, it's just that I have recently been ordered by the emperor to pay attention to the situation in the northwest, so I can't get out." ”

Fu Zhen then asked him to catch the car: "I'll go to the camp to find him." ”

Guo Song was stunned for a moment, and then happily beckoned the guards out of the city.

This young couple has been married for so long, Pei Zhanming has secretly invited Fu Zhen several times before, asking her to go to the camp to visit the class, but Fu Zhen has not agreed.

The sun is coming out in the west today!

The carriage sped up into the street and headed for the city gates.

Fu Zhen reviewed the information obtained in the past two days in the carriage, and when he was still half a mile away from the city gate, the carriage slowed down again.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Fu Zhen opened the curtain, Guo Song said: "Tie Ying and Yu Yu are in front." ”

"Both of them?"

Fu Zhen suddenly looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that under the city gate in front of him, sure enough, the two of them were walking together, each leading a horse out of the city.

Earlier, when they were going all out to deal with the abolished prince and Xu Yin, both Yu Yu and Tie Ying stayed in the Liang Mansion as witnesses.

Later, the case was solved, and the two moved out of the Liang Mansion and went to the Pei family's courtyard where Lu Chongyang lived.

Both of them have different degrees of injuries on their bodies, just so that Lu Chongyang can treat them, although Tie Ying is Lian Yang's person, his identity is insignificant, and it is like the imperial court provides important evidence, so the emperor did not intend to embarrass him. After he recovers, he will still be let go.

Fu Zhen hasn't been there recently, but he didn't want to see them here.

"Where are they going?"

They all live under the same roof, and it is reasonable for the two to know each other. But I didn't expect them to be so good that they would travel together in such a short time.

"I'll ask."

Guo Song stepped forward as he spoke.

Fu Zhen watched them talk, and then the three of them walked towards her carriage together.

"Madame General!" Yu Yu bowed his hand under the carriage, "You came just in time, Brother Tie is reporting something important here!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"Even redundant people are still active in the capital!"

“…… What? ”

Fu Zhen couldn't help but open the curtain when he heard this: "How do you know?" ”

Tie Ying said: "I found their traces in the city. It was the dead soldiers that Xu Yin raised in private, and they left such a mark in the city. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it and presented it to Fu Zhen.

There are two strange patterns drawn on the paper, and it is indeed something that makes people feel special at a glance.

"Where did you find that?"

"This morning I wandered the streets and went to a teahouse in the south of the city. At that time, I noticed that someone was following, and when I came out, the person was gone. Then I found this in the corner of the doorway.

"I've been tracking Xu Yin for so long, and I already remember all their secret notes. I guess they're already eyeing me. ”

Fu Zhen frowned and looked at the two patterns, and then said: "When Lian Yu left, he did take away a group of Xu family guards, and the remaining batch was in the old mansion in Tanzhou, and a batch was also run away at that time.

"How can you be sure that these people who are staring at you are the ones who were taken away by Lian Xian, and not the ones who escaped in Tanzhou?"

"It's really hard to tell. But after the group of people in Tanzhou escaped, the group of dragons had no leader, and they would definitely find a way to join the group of people who were taken away.

"And for so long in the past, all these guards around Xu Yin were responsible for giving orders.

When Lian Shu fled, no one knew that he had betrayed Xu Yin, and he would definitely not be stupid enough to confide in himself.

"Therefore, if the group of people in Tanzhou does not appear, it is enough, and once there is action, they must have joined up with Lian Yu and obeyed his assignment. Otherwise, they could have intercepted Zhou Yi and them halfway first. ”

Fu Zhen had to admit that what Tie Ying said made sense.

She said, "So what do you want to do when you go out of the city now?" ”

Tie Ying frowned: "After I found these two secret marks, I immediately turned around and went to a city god temple in the middle of nowhere.

"I pretended to be a pilgrim to enter, and then I waited for two people, judging from their actions, they were undoubtedly the second of the Xu family's group of dead soldiers.

"When they couldn't find me, they left the temple and I followed them under the gates.

At the same time, I found that they did not drive horses, and that they wore cloth shoes and robes, and dressed as merchants, and did not look at all like they were on a hurry, so it was not far from the place where they lived.

"Beyond the city gate is the suburbs of Beijing, and the place where they can only settle down is in this area.

"So I immediately went back and invited Brother Zhen, and planned to go and track it down immediately."

Since it is to enter the city to track, in order to make it easier, naturally the other party will not be too far away from the capital.

But in this way, could it be said that after Lian Yu finally escaped, he still stayed near the capital and did not leave?

Fu Zhen looked at the two of them: "Do you two have a definite destination?" ”

"I know all the people around the outskirts of Beijing," said Yu Yu, "and there are only three towns within fifty miles of the city gate. The place where they live will definitely not exceed fifty miles. ”

Fu Zhen nodded and arranged for Guo Song to say: "There are many people who are easy to do, you send a few people to follow the two of them." ”

Guo Song immediately picked out a few guards who were familiar with the terrain on the outskirts of Beijing.

Fu Zhen assigned someone to Tie Ying and the two of them: "You search carefully, but don't startle the snake." The cunning of this surnamed Lian is not inferior to Xu Yin, if he is really still nearby, before you are absolutely sure to take him down, you must not act rashly. ”

"Yes!"

With the help of the two, their spirits increased greatly, and they immediately gave up their orders, rode on horses and led people out of the city.

After Fu Zhenmu saw them go, he lowered his head and groaned, and beckoned Guo Song: "Let's go!" Pick up the pace. ”

……

"Have you reported to Dali Temple? Have you ever taken a look at it? ”

In the Gyeonggi camp, Pei Zhan walked out of the school yard quickly and walked towards the barracks with Cheng Zhili.

"It has been reported, and the corpse has also been sent over, I don't know what the result will be over there, but what is certain is that the corpse is indeed Concubine Li!"

Cheng Zhili followed him into the house, and his mouth did not stop: "The place where the body was thrown is in Yingpan Town, twenty miles outside the South City Gate, under the cliff to the east of the town.

"There was a deep pool under the cliff, and they were supposed to sink the corpse into it, but it was the dry season, so they missed and the corpse landed on the stone.

"The people of Dali Temple have already seen it, the person died about two days ago, the wound was in the back of the neck, the vertebrae were broken, it should be killed with one blow."

Pei Zhan took off the head and put it on top of the public case, and muttered: "It's been more than a month since the day of the incident, how can Concubine Li still be in the suburbs of Beijing?" Have you searched around Yingpan Town? ”

"My brother has already brought people over after hearing the news, and it is estimated that there will be results before dark."

Pei Zhan paced back and forth in the house a few times: "In the past month or so, there seems to be no news from the northwest side?" ”

"Nope." Cheng Zhili shook his head, "Not only is there no news from the northwest, but all the city checkpoints within a few hundred miles of the surrounding area that we ordered the fast horse to send that day have not found this person. ”

"The city checkpoint has not been discovered, so has he stayed in Gyeonggi all the time?"

"I think you guessed right. Whatever the reason, it is indeed possible that the surname Yeon is still within the Gyeonggi confines. ”

As soon as Pei Zhan's question was spoken, Fu Zhen's familiar crisp voice came from outside the door.

He turned around suddenly, and his eyes were locked on Fu Zhen who appeared at the door:

"How did you get here? How did you get in? ”

Fu Zhen stepped into the threshold with three points of pride: "Originally, I thought I wouldn't be able to enter, but I didn't expect that your general guarding the camp would know me." In addition, Guo Song was with me, and the general let me in after hearing my intentions. ”

When Pei Zhan heard this, he suppressed the corners of his mouth that had been raised, and said calmly: "Then what you just said, is there any basis?" ”

"Absolutely." Fu Zhen told him about the meeting of Tie Ying and them on the way here, "I have already asked Guo Song to send someone to follow them, Tie Ying has been tracking the people of the Wing King Mansion for so long, maybe he can really find something." ”

Speaking of this, she took turns looking at Pei Zhan and Cheng Zhili: "Why did you also talk about Lian Yu just now?" ”

Cheng Zhili couldn't hold back his words for a long time: "We found the body of Concubine Li under the cliff twenty miles outside the South City Gate!"

"She's dead in the last two days!"

Fu Zheng suddenly heard that Concubine Li couldn't help but be stunned, and even took her hostage to escape from the city gate that day, and everyone had already acquiesced that she was dead. I didn't expect to hear about her death until today!

Thinking of what Tie Ying said before, she immediately stepped forward: "What Tie Ying said is nine times out of ten true!" The people who followed him must be the Xu family guards who were brought out by Lian Yu at the beginning, since they are here, then Lian Yu must be there! ”

When Pei Zhan heard this, he didn't hesitate anymore, and sent Cheng Zhili away: "You immediately bring more people and horses and go to meet Tie Ying!" Fence off the town where Concubine Li was found and the place where Tie Ying and they tracked down! Dig deep to search, search every house, don't let one go! ”

"I'll go!"

Cheng Zhili jumped out of the threshold without saying a word.

Fu Zhen's followers walked under the threshold and frowned at the gradually darkening sky: "In the countryside, it is the most difficult to find when it gets dark, and I don't know if it's too late to rush over at this moment?" ”

……

In August, the autumn in the capital is crisp, and after the sunset, the night gradually covers the earth.

The green gauze tents in the field were gloomy and gloomy in the twilight, and the houses scattered in the villages below the mountain were only faintly lit, and most of the people had turned off their lights and rested.

In the past few decades, after several wars, it has been very difficult for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty to make a living, and few people are willing to buy a lot of lamp oil to use.

The tofu shop in Yingpan Town is one of the few businesses that needs to be lit up all night, and the owner's family depends on it for a living, so they have to make the tofu before dawn before dawn before they can pick it out and sell it.

The tofu shop has only one façade, but there are three entrances inside and outside.

At this time, in the hall of the second entrance, a donkey was pulling and grinding.

In the room at the other end of the stone mill, a lamp was like a bean, and a man was sitting under the lamp with his clothes draped and reading a book.

There was a long sword beside him, and on the bed behind him, there was a set of night clothes. There are several books pressed on the bedside, all of which are poems and scriptures that are often read by readers.

The barking of dogs came from far away through the field, and the sound of footsteps sounded from far and near.

It crossed the stone mill through the hall and came quickly and steadily to the door. After a pause, the knock on the door sounded softly.

"Come in."

The person under the lamp did not raise his head, and responded very lightly.

The door opened, and as he approached, the faint light gradually illuminated his face: "General." ”

"Coming back?" The man under the lamp closed the book and raised his head, and his young face was also revealed in the light, "How's it going?" ”

"The man has seen it, but unfortunately he found it and got rid of it."

"Why can't you even do this?" The man under the lamp stood up, pulled the clothes draped on his shoulders, and walked in front of him with his hands in his hands, "Tie Ying is only one person, but there are two of you sent, and you even let him get away." Could it be that the dead soldiers raised by the Wing King's Mansion are so useless? ”

Lian redundant shook his head and sighed: "No matter how powerful the people of the Wing King Mansion are, how can they compare to the people who came out of the Mighty General's Mansion after so many years of exile?" What's more, Tie Ying is a samurai who has been personally trained by the general, which is even more unusual. ”

"Don't say it's useless." Lian Yang turned back and took two steps, "Tie Ying can't stay anymore, he knows a lot of things in the Great General's Mansion." More aware of my existence. Now that I have entered Yanjing, there must not be any risk of leaking the news. ”

"Don't worry, general, I will send a few more people into the city when I go back, now that he can move around the capital at will, there will definitely be a better chance to take him down."

Lian Yang took a deep breath and stopped under the tofu rack: "What about the other side?" Has Yang Yi's whereabouts been found? Why is it that after a few months, there is still no progress at all? ”

According to reliable information, he did come in the direction of Yanjing half a month ago. He will definitely show up after entering Beijing, and the places where he will appear must be those under our control.

"Please also ask the general to be calm and not impatient, wait for his subordinates to keep an eye on it, and once there is news, the general will be killed immediately."

Lian Yang turned around when he heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his brows tightened: "Don't make a mistake." Otherwise, I wouldn't be as stupid as Xu Yin and let you go. ”

Even with a long look, he was about to reply, when a knock on the door came from the front yard facing the street:

"Is the head of the house here? Open the door! ”

The two of them under the light immediately paused, looked at each other, and then immediately blew out the light......
