Chapter 1352 No trace

Chen Xi stayed in the study room, and even when the soldiers entered the city, he did not show up.

At this time, the Governor's Office was protected by heavy troops, which was safer than anywhere else in the city. Chen Xi could do nothing and let Su Jingyang give full play to it.

As for Ma Zhongxi, Guo Shaoheng and others, they have become supporting roles now, and even Chen Xi's scenes are outside the show.

That night, Wuchang Mansion was destined to be uneasy.

Because it was not that the local government wanted to take people, but the army drove directly into the city, this situation was similar to suppressing the rebellion, and the city was suddenly in chaos. After Cui Ya, the commander of the Wuchang Left Guard, was shocked to the point of being heard.

When Cui Ya thought of going to see Chen Xi and asked the Governor what he intended, he found that he could not enter the side courtyard of the Governor's Mansion where Chen Xi lived.

Ma Jiu took the guards of the Shizhi Army who came to Huguang from the capital with Chen Xi and strictly protected the side courtyard of the Governor's Office.

Cui Ya scolded fiercely: "This commander is going to come in to meet Shen Zhongcheng, what should you stop him?"

Although Ma Jiu was born in a wild family, he naturally had a little more momentum after following Chen Xi for a long time. Even when facing a commander in his hands, he still seemed neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Mr. Shen has ordered that you have a good rest tonight and no one is allowed to enter!"

Cui Ya shouted sternly: "This commander was invited by Shen Zhongcheng to come to take charge of the defense of the Governor's Office. The responsibility is heavy. How could he not want to receive this official? Get out of the way!"

Originally, Cui Ya thought that he was valued by Chen Xi, so he would have to entrusted the important task of protecting his side, but now he suddenly found that he had become the object of defense in the Governor's Office. The anger in his heart was difficult to express for a while, but he could not openly tear the face and openly kill the Governor. Guo Shaoheng and others dared to take responsibility, but Cui Ya was definitely not so courageous.

Ma Jiu said: "Please forgive me, Commander Cui. This is my personal explanation. What do you have to say? It will not be too late to come back to discuss it tomorrow morning!"

Cui Ya thought to himself that if Lord Su, the commander-in-chief, led the troops himself, things would inevitably be a big deal. The balance between the current governor's yamen and local officials and gentry will be broken in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid there will be no time to go to anything tomorrow morning.

While nervous, Cui Ya suddenly thought that the news had not been passed to the General Administration Office. He quickly left the backyard and came to the gate of the Governor's Office to find someone to pass the news. He found that the person who came to contact the General Administration Office was no longer seen. After careful consideration, he realized that it was already a storm that was about to be full of wind. It seemed that whether the report was spreading was irrelevant...

For a moment, Cui Ya didn't know what to do.

Not long after, the troops from the commander-in-chief yamen arrived in front of the Governor's Office. In order to demonstrate his "protecting the Lord", Su Jingyang did not take care of the matters of sending troops to besiege the governor, the inspector and the prefecture and county yamen, and directly brought people to meet the Governor-in-chief yamen.

When Su Jingyang entered the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, he found fires everywhere inside and outside the yard.

A large number of officers and soldiers besieged the Governor's Mansion three floors inside and three floors outside. Among them, the most tightly defended was the side courtyard where Chen Xi lived.

Cui Ya, who was strolling back and forth in the yard anxiously, hurried forward to salute. Su Jingyang ignored it. In his mind, since Chen Xi skipped the contact person Cui Ya and directly asked him to lead his troops into the city, it proved that Cui Ya himself was no longer trusted by Chen Xi and his future was destined to be bleak.

"This commander is going to the yard to pay homage to Lord Shen!"

After Su Jingyang came, his humble attitude was almost exactly the same as Cui Ya.

When Ma Jiu faced Su Jingyang, his tone changed slightly, but he still did not change his tough nature: "Mr. Shen will not see guests tonight, please come back!"

Su Jingyang didn't understand what he was selling in Chenxi gourds for a moment.

Cui Ya stepped forward and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Shen was still in the study before..."

Su Jingyang looked at Cui Ya for a moment, as if he understood something, ignored Cui Ya, and turned around and headed towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion with his entourage.

Cui Ya wanted to follow him and say something shamelessly, but he didn't know what the boss meant immediately, so he could only stand there in a daze.

Before Su Jingyang could walk out of the backyard, several guards wearing armored helmets and armored guards outside the Yuemen came over. He knew that these soldiers were all under the Imperial Guards and were ordered by the emperor to guard Shen Xi. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Where is Lord Shen now?"

The palace guards were used to being arrogant, especially when they came out of the capital and saw that they were three levels of official position, they ignored Su Jingyang and went straight to the other yard. Su Jingyang was a little embarrassed for a moment, and finally shook his head mockingly, left the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and went by himself.

When Su Jingyang took the people away, Cui Ya once again raised his face and asked Ma Jiu: "Is Lord Shen not in the Governor's Mansion?"

Ma Jiu shook his head: "Nothing can be told!"

Cui Ya originally planned to stay in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion waiting for news, but suddenly thought of a possibility: Chen Xi might have left quietly, and he might have been fooled.

With Cui Ya's political wisdom, he could not understand the purpose of Chen Xi's series of actions. He thought that Chen Xi had been staying in the study room and as long as he guarded the Governor's Office, Chen Xi would not have any effect. But if Chen Xi had left after meeting him before, he would definitely be like a fish in water now. The huge Wuchang Prefecture City was enough to cover up his whereabouts.

"It's bad. If Lord Shen had left long ago, and the troops of the Dusi were in harmony, the city would have to be in chaos!" Cui Ya's heart began to "pull" and hurried out of the backyard. He quickly walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion. He suddenly found that the streets outside were full of soldiers holding torches.

Unlike the previous Governor's Office, Cui Ya's troops were stationed, the Wuchang Guard's troops were basically replaced outside the Governor's Office. The officers and soldiers of the Wuchang Left Guard were basically sent by Su Jingyang to surround the various yamen and the courtyards of the aristocratic families.

Cui Ya was frightened. He had to obey Su Jingyang now to have the opportunity to seek justice. If he continued to help the officials and gentry in the city, he would probably have a miserable ending.

Cui Ya became more and more afraid: "I obey orders diligently and lead troops to protect the Governor's Office. Could it be that the Governor will be questioned by the Governor? No, I must go to Shen Zhongcheng to ask clearly!"

As a result, Cui Ya arrived at the backyard of the Governor's Office and found that Ma Jiu and others had evacuated, and there was no trace of the entire side yard.

Judging from this situation, Chen Xi is indeed no longer in the Governor's Office. As for where he went, others may know, but Cui Ya is definitely confused.

The Governor's Office was protected by heavy troops on the surface, but in fact it was under the strictest surveillance. It was incredible that Chen Xi flew away with wings under this situation.

...

...

Cui Ya, the commander of the Wuchang Left Guard, left the Governor's Office in a daze. No one stopped him, and even the troops he led could move freely.

"General Cui, at this time, you should guard the Governor's Office to the death. How can you withdraw at will?" a clerk from the Governor's Office came over and said.

Now everyone knows that the Governor's Office will soon change the clerk... If the original clerk does not take the exam, they will be directly defeated, but these clerks were originally sent by the Governor's Office and did not intend to stay in office. They would still be glorious if they left the Governor's Office. For example, the person who was talking to him had been acting from the Governor's Office. Seeing Cui Ya leaving, he quickly stepped forward to stop him.

Cui Ya shouted sternly: "Shen Zhongcheng is no longer in the Governor's Office. What's the point of staying this general? What's going on with the vassal yamen now?"

The clerk replied: "Although Governor Chen did not show up, who can guarantee that he had left the mansion? General Cui, the city is now in chaos, and you will lead the troops to evacuate. If Lord Shen has any accidents, can you afford it? We just do our job well. As for the vassal yamen, there will naturally be someone to deal with it!"

The clerk said something, with the purpose of reminding Cui Ya that he must stay and continue to monitor the Governor's Office and not allow Chen Xi to escape.

The clerk was a little clever and thought that Chen Xi used a trick to trick him. In fact, he had been hiding in the Governor's Office and waited for Cui Ya to lead his troops away before slipping away quietly.

Cui Ya felt it was reasonable at first, but then he thought that Guo Shaoheng was unable to protect himself. If he had been against Chen Xi, he would not know how miserable it would be. He immediately said: "This general left some soldiers to protect the Governor's Office. Now I want to take people to the vassal and magistrate yamen to take a look!"

The clerk had no choice but to have no choice but to find out the situation in the city. As long as Cui Ya left someone to stare at the Governor's Mansion, it would be fine.

Cui Ya took the people away, and Su Jingyang brought the people back. As soon as he entered the Governor's Office, he shouted: "The last general has brought people to surround the courtyards of the various yamen and gentry in the city. I come and ask Lord Shen for instructions!"

At this time, there were crowds of people outside the Governor's Office, but the yamen was silent, as if the building was empty.
