Chapter 839 Fate(1/3)
Wansongling's group was as anxious as a bereaved dog, and they escaped in embarrassment.【】
That day, Wan Songling was moved by sympathy and wanted to take Bilan away with him, but was stabbed by Bilan who knew the truth. After this delay, he waited for him to wrap up his wounds in a hurry and change his clothes.
When they drove out, the motorcade had already arrived at the city gate.
His apprentices in the motorcade were also puzzled: "Didn't Master say that he would disguise himself as stewards and catch up halfway? We are already at the gate of the city, why haven't you shown up yet?" Although they were anxious, they did not dare to show it at this moment.
, I had no choice but to follow the example of others and wait patiently.
This ceremonial car team is basically composed of cars belonging to officials. The privileges of officials were more serious in ancient times than in modern times. If they were not arresting important criminals, this team would not need to wait at the city gate, and could directly jump on their horses and whip their whips.
It's been a smooth journey.
Although the criminals are being searched for, the only people who really know Xie Yufei's plan are Commander Ling and Li Baihu, who is accompanying the army. The other officials and gentry, including the defenders at the top of the city, don't know about it. Who will investigate this convoy in detail?
Where are the personnel and cages? The officers and soldiers guarding the city complied and waved their hands to let them go. At this moment, Li Baihu saw a signal coming from the top of the city and immediately gave a loud order, ordering his troops to trap the convoy.
Wan Songling poked his head around in the alley and saw that the convoy was already halfway out of the city. Wan Songling secretly felt a bit of luck: Although running now would inevitably attract attention, with a little disguise and his current identity, it was expected that
It was possible to hide it. He was about to rush his horse away when he suddenly saw the officers and soldiers who were supposed to be guarding the convoy unsheathing their swords and unstringing their arrows, surrounding the entire convoy. He couldn't help but be stunned.
Wan Songling's experience was a success and a failure. Because he didn't know Tuoba Mingde's true identity, he was also deceived by Tuoba Mingde when he defrauded Tuoba Mingde. At the critical moment, Song Ying rushed to
However, the money was not defrauded and he ended up as a wanted fugitive. This time, it was because something went wrong and he failed to catch up with the convoy in time, so he saved himself.
Although the convoy numbered 100 people and was mixed, how could it hide its whereabouts under Xie Yufei's keen eyes?
Unbelievable, after searching the carriage again, it turned out that some of the property in the box was what Tuoba Mingde had given to Wansongling in order to win over Shao Qianhu.
These people were taken away immediately and interrogated about the whereabouts of Tuotuo Buhuayin. Now that the target was obtained, the rest of the convoy could naturally be released from the city and were still escorted by Li Baihu to Gansu Town. The interrogations these days have been given to urban and rural people.
, which caused great inconvenience to the merchants. Now that the criminal was caught, Yunting breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the lifting of the city ban.
Seeing this, Wan Songling, who was rejoicing, was overjoyed, and immediately left the city among the crowd, leading his two apprentices to escape.
After the interrogation on Xie Yufei's side was completed, it was discovered that only a few minor characters had been arrested, and the real culprit had not yet appeared. It was too late to try to remedy the situation. A few days later, when Xia Xun got the news, he could only sigh and call Xie Yufei and Su
Ying and his party quickly came to join them.
Things are unpredictable, and who can take the lead? Xia Xun had no choice but to ask Song Sheng, the Marquis of Xining, to continue to conduct open and covert investigations to track down the whereabouts of Tuotuo Buhua Seal. Naturally, it was kept strictly confidential to the outside world. He only said that he was wanted to arrest the remaining members of Tuoba Mingde.
There was no mention of Tuo Tuo Bu Hua's death or the loss of the seal.
At this time, Zhu Di had received news that Xia Xun had returned alive. Zhu Di was very happy. On his way to Mobei, he suddenly learned the news that Xia Xun was missing. He was very sad. For this reason, he specially ordered the prince of the supervising country to assist him.
The Duke of Guo made all preparations for his funeral, and waited for him to return from his northern expedition. He personally hosted and held a grand memorial ceremony. Now that he had returned in triumph, Xia Xun came back alive. He was really overjoyed. Zhu Di immediately
The order was passed, and Xia Xun was asked to go to Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province to wait for him. The emperor and his ministers would meet each other and return to Jinling together.
Xia Xun didn't dare to neglect after receiving the decree, and he didn't want to wait any longer to thank them. He only left a message for them, then passed through Gansu, passed through Shaanxi, and entered Henan Prefecture.
Along the way, in order to be ahead of Emperor Yongle and to spend more time with his family, Xia Xun did not inform the officials along the way of his itinerary, so as to avoid the banquets entertained by officials along the way. Xia Xun concealed his identity and just rushed on his way until
After passing Hulao Pass and entering Xingyang City, I was relieved to learn that the emperor had arrived in An and there was no time to meet him on the schedule.
He drove quickly and slowly all the way. Although he had carriages and horses to travel with him, he was still tired after all. Now that he was ahead of the emperor, and seeing that it was already half daylight, Xia Xun was no longer in a hurry. He ordered his troops to settle down in Xingyang City, and still did not ask the government to set up shop.
After the banquet, I stayed at the hotel, took a shower, changed clothes, and had something to eat.
Tang Saier had a strong sense of play. She was just rushing along the way and was very bored, so she pestered her godfather to take her out to play. Xia Xun couldn't stand her troubles, so she changed into casual clothes and wore a long sword with tassels.
, dressed up as a wandering swordsman, led Zi Qi and Sai'er out of the hotel, and went to the city to relax.
This time, several causes and fates coincidentally collided...
※※※※※※※
Act 1:
The alley is lined with low and dilapidated houses and courtyards. Occasionally, passersby pass by in rags. A Confucian scholar wearing a blue cloth robe tucked the train of his robe into his belt and ran wildly through the alley, breathing heavily as he ran.
Like a cow panting, a few scoundrel-like people are chasing after him.
The scholar had never gone deep into this slum. At this time, he panicked and ran away as if he was desperate. He ran to the end of the alley and suddenly realized that there was no way ahead and it turned out to be a dead end. The scholar was shocked and reached out to grab a broken brick.
, leaning against the high wall, like a trapped animal, howling fiercely: "Don't come, don't come."
"Pooh"
Several gangsters rushed in front of him and surrounded him. One of their triangular eyes shot a fierce light and said sternly: "Wang, I thought you wanted to imitate a tortoise and huddle in the academy for the rest of your life. Damn it."
, how long can you hide? Murder to pay for life, debt to pay back money, the gambling debt you owe, when do you plan to pay it back? "
The scholar surnamed Wang has pretty features and looks talented, but he is so shocked that his lips are blue and his face is pale. He muttered: "A few...big brothers, can you please be accommodating for a while? Money is really tight recently."
…”
Triangle Eyes spat on his face and cursed loudly: "When did you fucking have money? How long has this been going on? If everyone follows your example, let's go drink the northwest wind? Big brother ordered it, your bet
We don’t want the debt anymore.”
"really?"
The scholar surnamed Wang had a look of surprise on his face. He quickly threw the brick and bowed to express his thanks: "Thank you so much, brothers, thank you so much..."
"Wait a moment to say thank you." The triangle eyes smiled sinisterly: "We can wipe off the gambling debt in one stroke, but... you understand that the gambling debt must be paid with flesh and blood?"
"What?"
The scholar surnamed Wang was shocked. He quickly covered his buttocks and said with a pale face: "This... how can this be allowed? Wang is also a scholar after all. This... this is too inappropriate."
The triangle-eyed man scolded: "You're a fucking scholar who farts. It's more disgusting than I thought. Who wants you to sell your ass?"
The scholar surnamed Wang was relieved, but he was surprised and said: "Then you..."
The corners of his triangular eyes and mouth crooked, and he said softly "Hmm". Several rogues immediately swarmed up to him, punching and kicking him until the scholar surnamed Wang had a bloody head and fell to the ground. Then the rogues stepped on his legs.
The pain in the joints of his hands and feet made him scream.
The triangular-eyed man rolled up his sleeves while walking forward and said Yin Yin: "Wang, this is a lesson for you to remember in the future. If you don't have that much ability, don't make such a big bet."
As he said that, he raised his foot, suddenly shouted loudly, and stomped hard on the crotch of the scholar surnamed Wang. This stomp made him scream hard, and there was only a "poof" sound, and the scholar "ouch"
"There was a sound, and he let out a shrill scream. His limbs suddenly broke away from the four naughty feet, and his whole body shrank into a shrimp. He took a slight breath of cold air from his mouth, and suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.
.
The triangle-eyed man smiled ferociously and said, "Let's go."
Several gangsters spit on the face of the unconscious scholar named Wang and walked away.
The people in the slums were still busy with whatever they were supposed to do, turning a blind eye to this scene, as if what was lying there was just a stray wolf dog, and no one paid any attention to it...

Act 2:
A few beggars on the street, in rags and rags, squatted in the corner with a broken bowl in front of them, lazily enjoying the last ray of sunshine.
Soon, they will have to go back to the ruined temple, the end of the alley and other shelters. They will not come out to beg for food again until the sun rises tomorrow.
Yu Jian looked like a pure beggar at this moment, wearing tattered clothes, disheveled hair, dirty locks, and his face was full of stains. Because he was a migrant, he was excluded by the local beggars, so he squatted in a most unruly place.
In a place that attracts attention, the food you beg for is naturally much less than others.
Yu Jian finally escaped here. Originally, he wanted to escape back and arrange for the transfer of his family. However, in terms of time, if anyone wanted to deal with his family, they would have dealt with it long ago. If he rushes now, he will just surrender. Moreover, as long as Tuoba
Mingde was not caught alive, he was not recruited, and no one caught him. It was very difficult to deal with his family.
Without evidence and evidence, Mr. Ji has to protect his family even if he is just working for his subordinates. The court is the one who sets the rules. Without evidence and evidence, he cannot sentence his family members, so what he is doing now
All I was thinking about was how to escape, how to escape, and what to do in the future.
He planned to escape to Liaodong. I heard that the situation there has changed a lot compared to previous years. Liaodong needs a lot of manpower, and people who have committed crimes or live in poverty often go to outside the customs to make a living. There are more opportunities there and it is easier.
Survive. But from here to Liaodong, it is really difficult to make the journey just by begging.
Yu Jian sat on the ground, thinking blankly. Several other beggars left without calling him, and he didn't notice. When his stomach growled with hunger, he realized that he was the only one left on the street.
Squatting there, Yu Jian sadly picked up the broken bowl and moved feebly, intending to find a place to sleep. Just after taking a few steps, he was stopped by a strong man with extremely large bones who looked energetic and tough.
The man looked him up and down and asked, "Look at you, you can't even get enough to eat at the end of the day. How about I give you a job to make a little money?"
Yu Jian was stunned and said: "I...well..."
The big man smiled and said: "Don't worry, I only ask you to say a few words, it's very simple."
"Uh...uh...ok"
"Come with me"
The big man turned around and went ahead...

Act 3:
The Lijia Bank store, which opened at the entrance of Ximenqiaozi Hutong in Xingyang, was about to close. An old man with white hair and white beard staggered in, holding some loose silver and asking to exchange it for banknotes.
Trading things is troublesome for an older person. After the boy weighed the silver, he kept mumbling and repeatedly told him that the silver was of good quality and asked for more precious notes than the market price. When doing business, he asked for high prices.
If you pay the money on the spot, the clerk will naturally argue with you.
The two people were arguing with each other, and suddenly another man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, dressed as a businessman, walked into the shop, took out a piece of silver from the bag, and wanted to exchange it for treasure banknotes. After the treasure banknotes were exchanged,
To be continued...
