The sound of horses' hooves outside the Thorn Mansion quickly spread from far to near.

Without waiting for Liu Hongbo and the others to make a move, they had already begun to quickly surround the entire Thorn History Mansion.

The faces of the people in the courtyard all changed dramatically at this time, and they already had a premonition that they might not have a chance to escape.

"Is there a secret passage in Liu Tingshi's house for us to escape?" In a panic, Song Zhen suddenly asked.

Liu Hongbo shook his head with a pale face and said, "This official never thought that this day would come so quickly.

There had been no preparation other than the excavation of a secret chamber. ”

"Then I'll go to the secret room and hide for a while, maybe there will be a chance to escape."

The trader surnamed Wu spoke.

Zhou Chong shook his head and said, "Now that the gate is surrounded by a large army, how can the other party easily retreat if he doesn't find our traces?"

Even if we hide in the secret room, we will not escape the fate of being searched. ”

When they heard this, they all fell silent, and there was a deep fear in everyone's eyes.

"Who are you and who is your commander? Why did you force your way into the state city despite the obstruction of the city gate guards?

Don't you know that this is a sin of treason? ”

Wu'an Governor Shi Ma Xing stopped outside the gate of the Assassin's Mansion and asked one of the captains who led the team.

The lieutenant turned over and dismounted, came to Ma Xing, and looked him up and down.

Just when Ma Xing's brows were slightly furrowed and he wanted to open his mouth again, the captain opened his mouth at this time:

"In person, is it Wu'an Governor Shi Ma Xing?"

Ma Xing straightened his chest and said, "It's this official." ”

"Arrest it, if you resist and kill it." The lieutenant said to the soldiers behind him.

When Ma Xing heard this, he was immediately frightened and took a few steps back.

"Who are you assigned? What power does it have to arrest court officials on the street? Ma Xing asked.

The two soldiers who received the order did not pause at all after hearing Ma Xing's words.

When they came to Ma Xing, they flanked him left and right, and directly carried his arms behind him.

"Dare to shout when you die, the court officials? Bah! Do you deserve it too? ”

The lieutenant came to Ma Xing's side and said to him with disdain on his face.

Then I heard him speak again: "Someone will open this gate to welcome the arrival of Duan Dadudu." ”

As soon as his words fell, there was a stumbling sound of footsteps outside the door.

Soon after, Liu Hongbo and the others saw several soldiers without armor quickly open the door.

The lieutenant stood at the top of the steps and happened to see Liu Hongbo and the others standing in the courtyard.

"Yo... This is Liu Hongbo and Liu Thorn History, right? Is this scared silly when you hear that Lord Duan is coming?

Why don't you bring someone out to greet you quickly, why don't you want Lord Duan to come over and invite you? ”

The lieutenant said with a mocking face.

When Liu Hongbo heard that Duan Zhixuan was coming, his legs were already trembling.

At this time, when he heard the mockery of the captain, he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, so he hurriedly ran out of the gate.

I am afraid that it will be difficult to survive in the future, and if you are more active at this time, you may be able to ask Duan Zhixuan to spare your family.

At the very least, it won't end up being all over the place.

Song Zhen and the others, who were originally standing beside Duan Zhixuan, had already been completely stupid at this time.

A few people stood tremblingly in the middle of the courtyard, not knowing where they should go.

Not far behind them, the other officials of the Assassin's Mansion were all standing at the door of the central hall at a loss.

At this time, they didn't know if they were qualified to run to the gate to greet Duan Zhixuan.

The lieutenant glanced at these people and said, "Come on, take all these people aside and wait for the governor to fall." ”

Immediately after the captain's order was issued, they were detained.

Everyone was pulled to their knees on either side of the trail.

At this moment, there was a brisk sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and Duan Zhixuan and the others finally arrived.

"Xiaguan Liu Hongbo greets Governor Duan."

Liu Hongbo didn't wait for Duan Zhixuan to get off the horse, and quickly stepped forward to salute him.

"Hmm," Duan Zhixuan agreed with a straight face, and then turned over and dismounted.

He said to Liu Hongbo: "Liu Tingshi, I'll go to the lobby to talk." ”

After saying this, Duan Zhixuan casually handed the horsewhip to his personal guard, and then walked towards the lobby of the Thorn Mansion.

Liu Hongbo lowered his head and followed Duan Zhixuan, constantly thinking about how to keep his family.

Duan Zhixuan walked all the way, and didn't even glance at Song Zhen and the others who were kneeling on both sides.

The actions of these people have brought him a lot of trouble, and at this time, Zhixuan can't wait to shoot Song Zhen and the others on the spot.

After Duan Zhixuan came to the lobby, he didn't wait to sit down, and said to Zhao Jingshan, the deputy general beside him:

"I don't have much time to wait, so I will take someone to raid all these people's mansions.

The interrogation was left to His Royal Highness the King of Jin after returning to Guangzhou. ”

Liu Hongbo, who was standing in the hall with his head down, suddenly sighed in his heart when he heard this.

He had just arranged for his family to clean up his family belongings, but he didn't want to inadvertently do Duan Zhixuan a big favor.

He sighed secretly in his heart at this time, but he didn't know that Duan Zhixuan, who was sitting in the hall with his eyes closed, was also fluctuating in his heart at this time.

Along the way, every time he came to a state capital, someone would take the initiative to come and contact him.

Then he will take him straight to the Yellow Dragon.

Along the way, whether it is the governors of the state capitals and county governments, or the ordinary traders involved in smuggling.

Even the relatives and children of these people, the homes and courtyards can all be found directly.

There were only a few dozen people who came into contact with him along the way.

But Duan Zhixuan knew very well in his heart that it would take at least a few hundred people to monitor all of them.

Duan Zhixuan had been thinking about it for a long time, where did these people come from?

Are they the forces that belong to His Royal Highness the King of Jin alone, or are they temporary arrangements made by His Majesty.

If it is only the latter, these people will naturally be arranged to other posts by His Majesty after this operation.

But if it is the former, then His Royal Highness King Jin's status in His Majesty's heart is too high.

The King of Jin had just handed over control of the Dragoons, and many officials in the court may have just begun to have some ideas against the King of Jin.

If His Majesty gave him a force that could supervise the officials of the world, then who else in the court would dare to oppose the King of Jin?

Such power was not given to the crown prince, but to the king of Jin.

In this way, wouldn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not be as important as King Jin in His Majesty's mind?

Duan Zhixuan, who was sitting upright in the hall, never spoke, and the people in the hall did not dare to make any sound.

Several people looked at the situation and knew that Duan Zhixuan definitely didn't want to be interrogated.

So everyone didn't do it, he just wanted to wait for Duan Zhixuan's arrangement with peace of mind.

There was not much movement on their side, but a battle between soldiers and bandits had begun on the vast sea not far away.

"Surround it, hurry up and surround it, our ships have the advantage in numbers, don't let the naval warships have a chance to ram us."
