The palace maid Ah Zhen is obviously familiar with the hidden guard Wang Gu, and she is looking at this person at this time, and her eyes are full of indescribable joy.

She wanted to hurry home with Uncle Wang and tell her family the good news that she had been rehabilitated. In this way, the mother will not worry, and the brothers and sisters can rest assured.

However, Wang You was a little stunned, he didn't expect things to turn to him so quickly and develop so smoothly.

It wasn't until a long time later that he came back to his senses and respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Ah Zhen, "Ah Zhen, let's go home." ”

"Hmm. Ah Zhen replied softly, her voice was small, but it was full of joy.

Wang Gu nodded, and led Ah Zhen to say goodbye to Lord Zhengqing with a solemn face, and went out.

Liu Yu saw the two leave, he waved his hand at the other nine hidden guards, signaled to go home, and said with a smile: "Today's matter is over!"

He smiled and tossed the case file aside on the table, thinking, "Maybe it's still long before the mystery is revealed!"

"Your Excellency is wise. The nine guards replied in unison, their voices as if they had been prepared.

The officials of the Criminal Department were even more happy, they could be regarded as sending away the plague god this time. Especially those cell bosses, they can eat and sleep much more steadily in the future.

They all made compliments.

"Lord Liu really decided the case like a god!"

"Yes, yes, it is really the blue sky of the world, the parents of the people!"

"Even if Shang Zhi Yiyin and Han Zhi Zhang Tang are alive, it's nothing more than that!"

Liu Yu laughed at this, and the group left the yamen of the Criminal Department under the enthusiasm of the officials of the Criminal Department.

Liu Yu clearly felt that the nine hidden guards of the Dragon Group who followed him back to his house were all preoccupied, and he did not poke it, and talked and laughed with the nine people along the way.

The nine hidden guards were not steady in their hearts, and they said, "My lord, Wang Gu is a little disrespectful to you today, don't you mind?" someone asked tentatively.

"Oh, I didn't notice this, Wang Gu didn't break the rules today, everything this person said is reasonable!" Liu Yu smiled and touched the horse's mane.

When the nine people saw him answer like this, their expressions suddenly relaxed a lot, they looked at each other and smiled, and each of them waved their horsewhips with a crackling sound, and the dust splashed by the horses' hooves caused the hawkers on both sides of the street to avoid each other.

As for where they were going, they didn't care, anyway, they followed Master Liu wherever he went.

The men galloped along the official road to the east of the city, and in a short time the sky began to become gloomy, followed by wind and then rain.

Raindrops the size of soybeans fell all over the sky and flew everywhere under the strong wind. Seeing this, the guards hurriedly picked up the hats and robes hanging from the saddle and armed themselves fully.

The raindrops crackled the hats of the guards, and they could only see the white splash in front of them.

At this time, I don't know who muttered in a low voice, "What's the matter with Lord Liu, if you don't wear a coat and hat, you are not afraid of being caught in the rain and contracting the wind and cold?"

"Lao Wu, just talk too much! Anyway, when we were young, who didn't come and go in the wind and rain, otherwise who would handle so many big cases back then?"

This person's words more or less reminded the guards of their own youth, and they were full of emotion for a while, and they spoke one after another.

"Lao Liu is right, we all came here like this back then. ”

"Hey, I'm used to a good life, I can't go back!"

At that time, they were young and low-minded, and in order to solve the case and be promoted, they could work hard and risk their lives. But now they are all dragging their families, although the experience of handling cases is much richer than back then, but they are no longer as brave as they were back then. Their sharpness has long been consumed in the long river of time and no longer exists.

"Let's do our own thing, and when we finish our errands, it's only right to go home and hug our wife and children!" the man who retorted continued.

"Yes!"

His words echoed more among the guards.

All the guards held the reins of the horse with one hand, and with the other hand, they took out the previous bamboo plaque from their bosoms through their robes.

The word "morality" on the bamboo plaque is clearly visible, revealing a faint scent of ink. I don't know what ingenious method the great sage who sent down the bamboo card used at the beginning, and this ink word can't even be washed away by the rain.

"Ji Sheng, please bless my family safely!" someone held the bamboo sign tightly and couldn't help muttering it, but the sound was too small compared to the surrounding wind and rain, so thin that it was like a mosquito chirping, making it difficult to hear.

In front of the rain, Liu Yu took the lead, and the mount "Flying Dragon" under his crotch was very strong, and the nine dragon group hidden guards behind him opened a big way. If it weren't for the flying dragon's strong self-restraint, I'm afraid that the hidden guards would have been far away.

He had no interest in the whispers of the nine behind him, and even though the rain was loud, he could clearly discern a buzzing sound from it.

The sound must have come from the direction of the rebels outside the city. He listened attentively, and there was the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels running over the mud. Together, these voices became the humming sound, which sounded low and firm, heralding the future fate of Chang'an City for three hundred years.

He touched the water on his face, and the cool rain had already poured him all over his body. The Qi that kept stirring in the qi machine in his abdomen seemed to be soothed by this cool qi, and the pain was slightly reduced, which was one of the few good things for him.

In the wind and rain, he saw in the distance a dilapidated street, very narrow, with very crowded houses on both sides. A few of the houses have collapsed, and the remaining ones are generally short, with mostly sloping walls and thick green moss on the roof tiles.

The streets are crowded with black people, the streets are already narrow, and there is no room for many people under the eaves. These ragged men had nowhere to go but to wander the streets aimlessly until they collapsed in hunger and cold.

Their demeanor was sluggish, and some even threw themselves into the mud puddles, scooped up the muddy water with both hands, and poured it into their mouths in large gulps.

Seeing this, Liu Yu couldn't help frowning, he turned over and dismounted, and patted Feilong's head. The flying dragon understood his humanity and quickly understood what he meant, and trot through the rain for a while, and soon disappeared.

The nine hidden guards who followed Liu Yu dismounted one after another, talking and laughing.

"We don't dare to ride these horses into the streets of the dead, or the hungry ghosts will not have to pounce on us and kill our horses. ”

"That's it, that is, this horse will have thirty taels of silver, which is enough for most of our salary for half a year, but we don't dare to take risks. ”

The guards tied their horses to the trunks of trees by the roadside, leaving a brother to guard them.

The other eight people stepped forward quickly and caught up with Lord Zhengqing, who was walking in front.

Liu Yu didn't care about the eight people who caught up, he frowned, immersed in his thoughts.

He stared into the distance, and saw that about a hundred paces away, on the dilapidated street, next to a low house, the crowd was unusually dense.
