Chapter 267: Wanted
After a long time, Liu Jin slowly loosened his brows and said loudly: "Yongcheng, do you remember the previous time, Wugang Gong said, that day I saw His Majesty suddenly return to the palace from the leopard room, and then said that he was going to my inner factory to find some fun?"
"Of course I remember!" Ma Yongcheng immediately replied, "After His Majesty went to the inner factory that time, Liu Gong's inner factory was left behind dozens of people, including the master such as Fei Lao, all disappeared! A few days ago, the corpses of Fei Lao and others were found in the underground of the inner factory, and it turned out that these people had been dead for a long time!"
"Yes! Afterwards, Wugang Gong asked Qiu Ju, did His Majesty leave the leopard room that day, and the answer he got was no!" Liu Jin said that the more fire in his eyes grew, and then said, "It seems that today's answer is about to be revealed!"
"What does Liu Gong mean?" Although Ma Yongcheng had already understood the meaning of Liu Jin's words, he still asked.
"Hmph! Last time, this kid pretended to be the emperor, broke into the palace, went to my inner factory and killed all my men, and my treasures were also a lot less! Even the most important ink treasure of the first emperor returned to King An for some reason! I was still very suspicious of who was so bold and dared to do this! I also sent someone to investigate afterwards, but I didn't find any clues for so long. Now listening to what Zhang Cai said, isn't this person just right in front of him?"
Liu Jin said resentfully, his tone was full of gritted teeth, it seemed that what happened last time made him quite angry.
"Then do you need our family to immediately send a team of black-clothed arrows to capture this person?" Ma Yongcheng said angrily when he heard this.
"Hmph! I must have it!" Liu Jin instructed, "You and Zhang Cai will jointly supervise this matter, lead people to seal the temple fair town and Luoyang City for me, and send people who have seen the emperor to guard the various passes, and you must get this person for me! Since this person dares to sneak into the palace and oppose us, I am afraid that there is a big net behind him, as long as you take down this person, you can follow the vine and touch the melon, not only touch this net, but also find an opportunity to bring down King An, why not!"
"Yongcheng understands!" Ma Yongcheng nodded when he heard this, and immediately took the order to retreat with Zhang Cai. After Liu Jin waited for the two of them to retreat, he kept looking at Yousen, obviously hating Zilong who pretended to be righteous and virtuous.
Ma Yongcheng, as the governor of Dongchang and a close person in front of the emperor, came to Luoyang, and since the prefect of Luoyang, officials at all levels do not bow down and obey orders. What's more, there is also a Jinyi Weibei Town Envoy, who is in charge of major cases.
After knowing that these two big men suddenly appeared at his yamen and named him to wait, the prefect of Luoyang immediately trotted all the way to the two of them.
After hearing the order of the two to seal the city, although the Luoyang prefect was a little embarrassed, he still carried out the order and mobilized the Luoyang garrison and officials to guard the various city gates.
Ma Yong became a beware of these people not knowing the emperor's appearance, let go of Zilong who was pretending to be the emperor, and sent out the little eunuchs who had seen the emperor around him.
Originally, this kind of arrest was to directly draw a sea fishing document, draw a shadow and a picture, and order people to arrest it at various intersections, city gates, and passes! However, it was a person who looked like an emperor to be arrested.
If the emperor's appearance is really drawn, and then he is wanted everywhere, if this matter is known to those imperial historians, he will have to refer to Liu Jin and others.
Therefore, we can only send small eunuchs who are familiar with the emperor to search in various places, and the same is true! In this way, although there is a slight shortage of manpower and the efficiency is slower, there will absolutely no situation of wronging others.
For a while, because of the temple fair a moment ago, Luoyang City, which was extremely lively, became noisy because Ma Yongcheng wanted to search Zilong. On the streets, there were many sergeants or brocade guards in flying fish suits running back and forth.
Soon all the gates of Luoyang were blocked, and Ma Yongcheng personally sat in the yamen of the Luoyang prefect, waiting for the news to be returned. Zhang Cai took the initiative to invite Ying and went to the temple fair town to search for the person who pretended to be the emperor.
This tossing back and forth movement had already been reported by the brothers of the beggar gang to Yu Minghan, who was still stranded in the temple fair town.
Originally, Yu Minghan still didn't take it seriously, after all, the government searched, and the beggar gang didn't do anything illegal and undisciplined, so there was no need to worry.
But hearing his disciples say that among these people in the official mansion who searched the major hotels and inns, there were even Jinyi guards, Yu Minghan finally found something wrong.
Later, I heard that a disciple came to report that Zhang Cai personally led a group of people and horses to rush to the temple fair town in a murderous manner, Yu Minghan finally understood that this Zhang Cai was likely to find Zilong pretending to be the emperor and was going to arrest Zilong.
At that moment, Yu Minghan immediately ordered his disciples to go to the guard, but not to conflict with the government, but he went out, came to Zilong's room, and poured Zilong a bowl of decanting soup.
After pouring this decanting soup, after a while, Zilong retched and spit out all the wine just now, Yu Minghan also took a basin and took a glass of water to rinse Zilong's mouth.
As soon as the wine was spit out, Zilong's internal breath naturally opened, and his spirit recovered after a short time, he slowly opened his eyes, looked at Yu Minghan, and asked, "Lord Yu Helm, is something wrong?"
"Disaster is coming!" Yu Minghan was also anxious, and when he saw Zilong waking up, he couldn't help but relax and said, "The fact that you pretended to be the emperor is likely to be discovered by Zhang Cai! Now he is sealing the city gate in Luoyang City and searching on a large scale! He even personally brought a group of people and horses on his way to this town!"
"What!" Zilong was also shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and the last bit of alcohol was finally expelled from his body, and he came to his senses at the moment, looked at Yu Minghan and asked, "Is this true?"
"Can't you trust me?" Yu Minghan couldn't help but say.
"It's not!" Zilong shook his head and said, "With Zhang Cai's ability, if he recognizes me, he won't be scared away by me at the temple fair just now!" I mean, it's not him who recognizes it, but there are other people behind him!"
Zilong actually guessed the matter based on speculation. It's just that he has limited information after all, and no matter what, he can't think of Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng.
"No matter who recognizes it, now the situation is urgent, Xu Shaoxia, if you don't leave this place as soon as possible, when those people from the government come, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!" Yu Minghan didn't want to have a direct conflict with the government, but he didn't want Zilong to be arrested by the government, so he was eager to persuade Zilong to leave here!
"Hey, I was originally going to come here to look for Wan'er, I don't want this Wan'er to be found, but so many things have happened! It's okay, since Wan'er is not here, then I'll leave here!" Zilong naturally understood what Yu Minghan meant, and immediately stood up, cleaned up, and prepared to leave.
Zilong didn't even bring a change of clothes when he went south, and he directly bought clothes from ready-to-wear shops along the way. So I packed up, just washed myself, and got ready to go out.
At this time, it was already very late, and the temple fair outside had already stopped, and it would not open again until tomorrow morning.
By this time the whole town had lost its hustle and bustle during the day, and it was so quiet that only one or two dog barks could be heard once in a while.
As soon as Zilong packed up and was about to leave here under Yu Minghan's arrangement, a beggar disciple ran in in a panic, and said before he could stand firmly: "Oh no! Helmsman, that team of officers and soldiers has already arrived outside the town, and they will surround the town on all sides first!"
"What, so fast?" Yu Minghan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that if they approached, they should report quickly?"
"We did as you ordered, but this group of officers and soldiers was so cunning that they scattered around first, and finally came together, and now they are about to advance to the town!" said the beggar disciple with a crying face.
As soon as his words fell, he saw that the fire was shining brightly outside, and the voices of the people were boiling, and when the residents of the town were restless, a gong sounded, and one person shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, there has been a murderer who has recently fled to Luoyang City, and the prefect has surrounded the town in order to arrest this murderer! Everyone stays in the room and cooperates with the government's search, and it will be fine! From now on, those who dare to walk wantonly on the street will be dealt with as murderers!"
After saying that, another gong sounded, and again these words, repeated several times, until the people in the town almost heard it, and then slowly stopped.
The next step was for a group of officers and soldiers to break into various houses, or hotels and inns, and began to search.
Yu Minghan opened a small window upstairs, and saw that the officers and soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and there was another Jinyi guard on the street, standing with knives in various vital parts, and there were many Jinyi guards standing at the highest point, holding crossbow machines, aiming at the street, patrolling back and forth.
Seeing such a formation, Yu Minghan thought to himself that he and Zilong would not be able to escape.
