Han Yannian ordered: Search every corner of the city, and anyone with weapons will be caught and interrogated by the government, and if there is any suspicion, he will be punished as an assassin and be punished on the spot.

Chen Maiyi had a secret cave in his house, and Jing Chuan hid in it, evading the search of officers and soldiers.

Early in the morning, Chen Maiyi went to find Zhu Yong, who was about to take his soldiers out on patrol.

"Brother Zhu Yong, I want to go out of the city, and I have something important to go to Liangzhouwei. ”

Zhu Yong said: "Master Chen, don't you know? Suzhou Wei came to assassin last night, and now the whole city is heavily guarded, how easy it is to get out of the city!"

Chen Mai said: "I just found out. When I went to the city gate just now, I was stopped by the guards and was not allowed to go out!"

Zhu Yong said: "Yes, I heard that Lord Han was injured by the assassin, and Lord Wei, the secretary of the military department, will leave Suzhou Wei and return to the imperial court this morning. Now in this situation, let alone you, even those of us who go out on errands will be investigated!"

Chen Mai said: "Brother Zhu Yong, you can help you think of a way, if it weren't for the urgent matter this time, I wouldn't have come to ask you for help." ”

Seeing Chen Maiyi's anxious face, Zhu Yong was a little suspicious in his heart, and asked, "Why is Master Chen in such a hurry to get out of the city?"

Chen Maiyi sighed deliberately and said: "It's not a secret, one of my cousins is in Liangzhouwei, he suffered from a cold and was cured by the doctors in the rivers and lakes, and now he is in danger, I have to rush over to save him." Moreover, this time it was also for the purpose of changing the dressing. ”

"Change the dressing, change the medicine?"

"Liangzhou Wei found a rare medicinal herb, the price is more than gold, can cure all diseases. With that medicine, let alone curing hemorrhoids, even the flower willow disease that you haven't been cured for many years, is also a medicine to get rid of the disease! I have been telling you that there is less medicine before, so the disease on your body has not been eradicated, if you get this medicine this time, a pair of medicines can be effective!"

As soon as Zhu Yong heard that he could cure his illness, his doubts suddenly disappeared, and he immediately came to his senses and asked Chen Mai: "What Master Chen said is true?"

It turned out that Zhu Yong often went in and out of Fengyue places and suffered from flower willow disease. went to find Chen Mai, Chen Mai deliberately did not cure him, and every time he shirked the lack of medicinal materials, he could not be cured. Zhu Yong is in his thirties, and because of this disease, he can't even find a daughter-in-law, and he is miserable. In this way, Zhu Yong had to ask Chen Maiyi, Chen Mai controlled Zhu Yong, and when something happened, he could use him. Chen Mai just had such a random idea at the time, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Chen Mai said with a straight face: "Does my brother look at me like a lie? I've been here in Suzhou for so long, and my brother doesn't know what kind of person I am?"

Zhu Yong hurriedly said, "Master Chen, that's not what you meant. I mean, if Master Chen can really cure me, then he will really be my reborn parents!"

Chen Mai waved his hand and said: "Brother has seen the outside, you and I are no longer outsiders, so there is no need to be so polite! Although I went out of the city this time mainly for my own private affairs, I dare not forget my brother's affairs!"

Zhu Yong was quite moved by these words, and he said: "Then I will thank Master Chen first! It's just that it's really not easy to get out of this Suzhou Wei now!"

Chen Mai said: "Brother rest assured, I will never embarrass my brother, I have already prepared." As he spoke, he took out three ingots of gold from his pocket, ten ingots each, and presented them to Zhu Yong, shining Zhu Yong's eyes with golden light.

"Money can make ghosts grind, this is for the brothers to drink, and when I come back after finishing my work, I will thank you again!"

Zhu Yong stared at the gold, his eyes didn't blink, and he deliberately pushed the gold back gently and said, "What does Master Chen think of me Zhu Yong? I am already grateful for you curing my hemorrhoids, how can I be embarrassed to accept your money again!"

Chen Maiyi observed Zhu Yong, although Zhu Yong was talking, his soul had already flown to the gold, and turned into a villain on it, motionless, clinging to the gold and refusing to leave.

Chen Mai said: "Brother, don't push it, put it up and down, it's easy to pass!"

Zhu Yong no longer shirked, took the gold with a smirk, and said while wrapping it and sending it to his arms: "Okay, good!

Chen Mai said: "There is another thing, the child I saw at my house a few times ago died because it was too late to send it. I was afraid that the plague would be contagious, so I called his father and carried his body out of the city. If you stay in the city, the corpse will decompose, and it will inevitably be contagious. ”

Zhu Yong's mind was no longer on the conversation, one hand pressed the gold in his arms tightly, and said: "Yes, yes, the plague is terrible, hurry up and get out of the city!"

Chen Mai said: "Yes." So what are the Zhu Yong brothers going to do?"

Zhu Yong thought for a while, and then said: "This is easy to say, I will arrange a few people to send sewage out of the city later, you follow behind, when you get to the city gate, you will act when you see the opportunity, you are all your own brothers, and it will be over in a few words!"

Chen Mai said: "This is very good, then it is all up to my brother to arrange!

Zhu Yong smiled and said, "Okay, good!" Watching Chen Mai leave, his hand still pressed on his chest. Seeing that he was far away, he quickly ripped off the clothes on his chest, looked at the angular gold exposed on the cloth bag in his arms, and smiled secretly.

Chen Mai returned home, hurriedly rolled up Zhang Jian's body with a broken mat according to the prior arrangement, lassoed the horse, carried Zhang Jian's body onto the carriage, and sprinkled some rancid pig blood on it, and the corpse suddenly smelled foul, as if it was rotten. Then a layer of straw was laid on top. Then he moved another box to the car, and a few knives on Jing Chuan's body were hidden at the bottom of the box, and the box was stuffed with medicinal herbs.

After the preparations, Chen Mai said to Jing Chuan: "Brother, you can go." ”

At this moment, an old man with gray hair and goosebumps came out of the house. The old man's face was full of wrinkles and age spots, and even his hands were as thin as dry wood.

Chen Mai looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Brother, it seems that my disguise technique is still passable." ”

It turned out that this old man was Jing Chuan, and Chen Mai knew how to disguise Jing Chuan, making Jing Chuan as an old man, pretending to be the father of the deceased Zhang Blade.

Jing Chuan looked at himself in the mirror alone in the house just now, looking at the old appearance after the disguise, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. He didn't stay in front of the mirror for too long, and then went to pack his bags.

When Chen Mai said that his disguise technique was passable, Jing Chuan smiled bitterly: "Brother, it's really good, let me see what it will look like when I'm old in the future!"

After everything was cleaned up, Jing Chuan led his horse, left home with Chen Mai, and walked towards the city gate.

Zhu Yong and a few soldiers were waiting at the city gate with sewage, and when they saw Chen Maiyi coming over, they whispered to him: "Wait until you cross the city gate, we will go ahead, you will follow behind, if you are stopped, you will tell the reason for leaving the city, and I will recognize you and help you say it when the time comes." ”

Chen Mai said: "There is Brother Lao!"

On either side of the gate stood more than two dozen soldiers, all armed with weapons. Chen Mai led the horse in front, glanced at Jing Chuan behind him, and gave him a look, Jing Chuan understood, and immediately pretended to have a sad look, looked at Zhang Jian on the car, and wiped his tears.

They were stopped at the gate by the guards of the city.

Zhu Yong said loudly: "Brothers, transport sewage out of the city. ”

The soldier said, "Isn't it Erbaoyun, why did you change it, Brother Zhu?"

Zhu Yong said: "Alas, don't say it, Erbao's kid has an uncomfortable stomach, so I will help him transport it, this kid, even let me do this kind of dirty work, he won't invite me to the Yellow Crane Tower to drink, I can't spare him!"

The soldiers were very familiar with Zhu Yong, and they all laughed when they heard this.

The soldier said, "According to the orders of the commander, everyone who goes out of the city must be checked." ”

Zhu Yong said: "Hurry up and check, it stinks to death, and I'm still rushing back!"

The sewage truck was smelly, and two soldiers pinched their noses to check around the car, and one asked, "Do you want to look into the barrel?"

The other said, "It's up to you to see, and you stir it with a knife to see if there's anybody." ”

The soldier reluctantly said, "It's so stinky, I won't go, you go!"

Two people, you push me, I push you, and I talked for a long time, but I just refused to move, Zhu Yong was impatient to watch, and shouted in a rough voice: "If you want to check, check it quickly, it's so grinding!"

The soldier said with a bitter face: "It stinks!"

Zhu Yong walked over, snatched the knife from a soldier's hand, climbed into the carriage, opened the lid of the barrel, inserted the knife into the barrel several times, and then inserted another few barrels like this, jumped out of the car, forced the knife back to the soldier, and said, "See?"

The soldier saw that his knife was stained with filth, and after taking the knife, he threw it aside, and hurriedly nodded and said, "I saw it! Brother Zhu hurry up, it's stinking to death!"

Zhu Yong led the horse to the front, and Chen Mai walked over immediately.

"Stop!

Chen Mai said: "Official, go out of the city for the funeral." ”

"What kind of funeral?"

Chen Mai pointed to the corpse in the car and said, "This child is dead and will be sent out of the city for burial." ”

The two soldiers walked to the side of the car, saw Jing Chuan, and asked, "Who are you?"

Jing Chuan burst into tears and said, "Back to the official, I am the father of this child." ”

"Why did you die?"

"I had hemorrhoids, and there was a pestilence. ”

"Huh?" the soldier looked at Jing Chuan suspiciously.

"How did you cover it?"

Chen Mai walked over and said, "Official, the corpse is already stinking, so wrap it in a straw mat." ”

"Open it and take a look!"

Chen Mai opened the mat, revealing Zhang Blade's body, the two soldiers took a closer look, smelled a rancid smell, and quickly dodged it, saying, "Damn, the corpses stink!"

Chen Mai said: "Yes, official, this child has the plague, if he is not sent out of the city, I am afraid that it will be infected." ”

When the soldiers heard that it was the plague, they were a little afraid, but they did not let their guard down, and when they saw the big box on the cart, they asked, "What is in the box?"

"It's a medicinal herb, and I took it to change the medicine by the way. ”

A soldier climbed into the car, opened the box, and began to rummage inside. Jing Chuan's knife was hidden at the bottom of the box, and if he turned it over, it would be exposed.

At this time, I only heard Zhu Yong in front of me shouting: "Isn't that Master Chen?"

Everyone stopped and watched Zhu Yong walk closer.

Zhu Yong walked up to Chen Mai and said, "Master Chen, what are you doing here?"

Chen Mai said: "What about sending the corpse out of the city? This child has died of the plague, and he must be sent out of the city as soon as possible to be buried, otherwise it will be infected." ”

When Zhu Yong heard this, he exclaimed: "Plague! Then send it out quickly, if it is infected, it will be troublesome!" said and shouted at the two soldiers, "What else to investigate, let them out quickly, if the plague spreads, the entire Suzhou Guard will be finished!"

When the soldier heard Zhu Yong say so seriously, he seemed to be afraid, so he hurriedly got out of the car and urged Chen Mai to say, "Okay, okay, let's go!"

After Chen Maiyi thanked the soldiers, he and Jing Chuan drove the carriage out of the city.

Coming to a fork in the road outside the gate, Chen Mai said to Zhu Yong: "Thank you Brother Zhu Yong today!"

Zhu Yong said: "Master Chen is polite! What should be done, you should send this child to be buried quickly." Also, Master Chen came back early after changing the medicine and helped me cure the disease!"

Chen Mai said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely return early!

They broke up at the fork in the road and went both ways.

After walking for a while, seeing that there was no one around, Jing Chuan loaded and unloaded, took out the three knives from the box, rode on the horse, and said to Chen Mai: "Brother, don't leave it here, this child will be handed over to you, you take him to my hometown, and someone will answer him." ”

Chen Mai said: "Brother, don't worry, take care on the road!"

"There will be a date later!" Jing Chuan shouted after speaking, and galloped away on his horse.
