There were people coming and going at the market at night, and the masked man drove the carriage so fast that he quickly disappeared into the crowd. Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes were about to pop out, and he could only watch Shi Qianqiu's back being left far behind, and he didn't know if he saw himself, so he stomped his feet in the car in a hurry.
The masked man heard the movement, lifted the curtain and looked back at him, scolding coldly, "Believe it or not, I'll cut you!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu groaned aggrievedly and shrank to the corner of the carriage.
Seeing that he seemed to be afraid, Mo Jingxian frowned worriedly, and said comfortably, "Sir, don't worry, he shouldn't hurt our lives."
Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that it would be hard to say. There are countless examples of robbers who killed and silenced. Leaning on the wall of the car, he nodded weakly and did not speak.
Since Ye Wuhen was robbed from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the gates of the city have been strengthened, and the comings and goings are very strictly checked, and ordinary people are not allowed to go out. When the masked man drove the car to a distance of ten meters from the city gate, he turned and sat in the car. What way, let the city gate guard let us out, otherwise we will be discovered, I will kill you first, and then fight with them."
Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled: "I'm just an official the size of a sesame and mung bean. If you want to go out of the city, you must have the emperor's will. You have found the wrong person."
The masked man put the dagger against his back, exerted a little force, and only asked one sentence: "Are you going?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu straightened his waist and said quickly, "Go, go, I'll go."
The people who were interrogating the city gate today were from the Jinglu Division, who had seen Ye Wuhen before. Everyone carried knives and walked back and forth at the gate of the city, staring at the people passing by like torches. Some people wanted to leave the city, but they were all driven back.
At this moment, a blue-topped carriage suddenly came over. The guard saw that the driver was a young man, and immediately stopped him: "There is martial law in Beijing. If you don't have a hand, you can't go out, and quickly go back!"
It was Gongsun Zhuoyu who was driving, and behind a thin curtain, the masked man was pressing a dagger against his lower back.
Seeing that the car was stopped, Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at the closed city gate: "Are you really not allowed to go out?"
The guard frowned: "Didn't you hear what I said, the whole city is under martial law, and you are not allowed to go out!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu was relieved, he looked back into the car, and said to the masked man in a low voice: "What should I do, I can't tell."
The masked man sneered: "Don't play tricks, show them your waist card! If I can't get out, you don't want to live."
Gongsun Zhuoyu clicked his tongue and muttered, "I'm not a high-ranking official, they won't let it go."
After he finished speaking, he put down the curtain, because of the dagger on his back, he could only reluctantly show his Jingzhaoyin waist badge to the guard: "This official wants to go out of the city to do business, please open the door quickly! "
Seeing this, the guard took the waist card and glanced at it, and then handed it back: "If your lord has a hand letter from Du Sigong, you can naturally go out of the city. If you don't have it, it will be difficult for your subordinates to obey."
Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, thinking that he is really a good guard who is devoted to his duties. He put his waist badge in his arms, turned around and said in a low voice: "Look, I just said, I'm just an official the size of a sesame and mung bean, and people won't buy my face."
The masked man was about to speak, but he saw a deputy envoy with a saber suddenly approaching not far away. He hurriedly hid in the carriage. At the same time, the dagger in his hand pressed against Gongsun Zhuoyu's back, silently threatening.
The Jinglu Division has four deputy envoys, all of whom are first-class masters. Zhou Xi is one of them. Seeing a carriage blocking the gate of the city and lingering on its way, he frowned and stepped forward to ask, "What happened?"
When the guard saw him coming, he was taken aback: "Secretary Hui, this Lord Gongsun wants to go out of the city to do business, but because there is no hand letter from Du Sigong, his subordinates dare not let him out of the city."
Zhou Xi was stunned when he heard the words, then he reacted and looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu subconsciously, but when he saw that it was him, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted, "It turned out to be Lord Gongsun."
Zhou Xi is Wu Yue's junior brother. When Ye Wuhen assassinated Du Lingchun, the masters of the Beijing Law Division gathered in the company's office. He once met Gongsun Zhuoyu.
Gongsun Zhuoyu had a bad premonition inexplicably in his heart, but before he could speak, he heard Zhou Xi hesitate to ask, "Master wants to leave the city?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to shake his head very much, but because he was being held hostage, he could only bite the bullet and nodded, and coughed twice in embarrassment: "This official really wants to go out... But if you are embarrassed, forget it..."
As soon as he said this, he only felt that the dagger against his back had slid a few inches, causing his kidneys to hurt.
Zhou Xi said, "Don't be embarrassed. If your lord wants to go out, your subordinates will naturally not dare to stop him."
Gongsun Zhuoyu stared, thinking that you have no principle at all: "Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to leave the city without Du Sigong's handwriting?!"
Zhou Xi didn't know why he was so excited, so he took a step back subconsciously: "Others will naturally ask for it by hand, but if Lord Gongsun wants to leave the city, there is no need for these red tapes."
After saying this, he immediately waved his hand and ordered someone to open the city gate.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to hit the wall, how could they let themselves out, how could they let themselves out? ! !
The masked man quietly kicked him across the curtain of the car, motioning him to leave quickly.
Gongsun Zhuoyu wondered if it was really going to kill him, staring at Zhou Xi frantically throwing hints in his eyes, while driving the carriage away, sweating profusely.
Zhou Xi didn't know if he noticed something, but suddenly stepped forward to stop him: "Sir, wait a minute—"
Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and immediately stopped the carriage: "What's wrong?"
Have you changed your mind and won't let yourself go out
Zhou Xi just routinely cross-examined: "Dare to ask the adults what to do when they go out of the city, do you need help from your subordinates?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu silently clenched the fist in his sleeve: "..."
#Ah, so angry#
Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Xi was puzzled: "Sir?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu slowly let out a breath and said in a flat tone: "Oh, don't do anything, this official heard that there is a new Chu restaurant opened by the riverside, the girls are all graceful, and want to go out of the city to go to a prostitute, and come back tomorrow. "
Zhou Xi was stunned when he heard the words, and he couldn't even speak at all: "Whore... whore?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded calmly: "Yes, it is prostitutes."
After speaking, he waved his whip and drove the carriage out of the city. When the guard saw him leave, he looked at Zhou Xi subconsciously, and asked hesitantly, "Deputy envoy, he didn't have a hand letter, so he just left the city and turned around to blame him. Will something happen?"
Zhou Xi swallowed his saliva silently, thinking that of course something would happen, and it would be a major event. He frowned and ordered: "Quickly find a few people to report to Du Company, and say that Lord Gongsun went out of the city to go to prostitutes!"
The guard was shocked: "Huh?!"
Zhou Xi clenched the knife around his waist and scolded, "Don't hurry up!"
Gongsun Zhuoyu drove the carriage out of the city, and after about a mile, the masked man appeared from behind the curtain of the carriage. While tying Gongsun Zhuoyu with a rope, he sneered: "I really didn't see it, you're an official the size of a sesame and mung bean."
Gongsun Zhuoyu was silent for a long time: "...I didn't expect my face to be so big."
#really did not expect#
The masked man pushed him into the carriage, drove the carriage to the official road, turned a corner in the middle, and drove into the forest path. After about half an hour, he stopped in front of a small farmyard.
"Get down!"
The masked man dragged Gongsun Zhuoyu down, then looked at Mo Jingxian who was sitting inside, and said meaningfully, "Don't you want to see Ye Wuhen, so why don't you hurry in."
Mo Jingxian got up subconsciously when she heard the words: "Wuhen is inside?!"
The masked man didn't say a word, and dragged Gongsun Zhuoyu into the courtyard, Mo Jingxian had to keep up.
This is an ordinary farmer's family. Pushing open the wooden door, I saw a wooden table in the center of the room. Next to it sat a man in a cloth. Against the backdrop of the volatile candles, his face was thin and bloodless. He had been taken out of the prison. The robbed Ye Wuhen.
Seeing this, Mo Jingxian covered her mouth in surprise, with tears in her eyes. She seemed to want to step forward, but for some reason, her body was trembling, and she stood there for a long time and did not pass.
Ye Wuhen limped up, but also hesitated.
The masked man threw the long sword on the table with a clatter, breaking the condensed atmosphere: "You have been rescued, hurry up, so as not to be caught by the officers and soldiers."
Gongsun Zhuoyu was next to him, and he subconsciously said, "Are you two?"
Ye Wuhen only discovered the existence of Gongsun Zhuoyu, and looked at the masked man in surprise: "Junior brother, why did you tie him up?!"
The masked man took off his mask, but he was also a handsome man. He stepped on the bench and said, "You insist on saving your sweetheart. I won't hold him hostage, so how can you get out of the city?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu moved tentatively, but found that the knot on his wrist could not be untied at all, so he could only give up struggling: "You have already left the city, should you let me go?"
The masked man flipped his wrist, put the long sword on his neck, and said deliberately, "I see that you and that Du Lingchun are in the same group, and they are probably not good people, so I might as well kill you and save the people from harm. ."
"No!" Mo Jingxian immediately stepped forward to stop him when she heard the words, "Master Gongsun is not one of those corrupt officials!"
Ye Wuhen also said: "Junior brother, let him go."
There was a sword on Gongsun Zhuoyu's neck, and he didn't want to say anything at all.
Seeing this, the masked man had to withdraw his sword: "Seeing as you guys are nervous, I'm just trying to scare him. If it was a dog official, I would have killed him halfway."
Gongsun Zhuoyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two are indeed brothers and sisters, and they have the same temperament. However, before he could speak, he heard the masked man ask with great interest, "Hey, by the way, how's your case going?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu was taken aback: "What case?"
The masked man said, "It's that person Wax from Hong Mansion."
Gongsun Zhuoyu's face changed slightly when he heard the words: "How do you know?"
After he finished speaking, he quickly reacted, and subconsciously looked at the masked man: "Could it be that the wax has something to do with you?!"
The masked man said casually: "Oh, my brother's cell key is on Shilang Hong. In order to steal it out, I once sneaked into his house, but I found that there was a statue of a man in the Hong Mansion. It happened that you cleaned up Hong Wentao in the street, so I took him to him. The wax has been placed in Jingzhao Mansion, and I want to see what kind of tricks you can find out."
He seemed quite pleased to hear his tone.
Gongsun Zhuoyu was so angry that his liver hurt. He thought who was so boring, who left the corpses all over the place, and it was the one in front of him who suffered thousands of knives for a long time. He just said that the Hong family tortured their servants, and even if they had ten courage, they would not dare to send them to Jingzhao Mansion to provoke them.
Now the truth is finally revealed.
Although Ye Wuhen didn't know what happened, he could guess that it was his junior brother who was in trouble. He looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu and was about to say something when he heard a hurried sound of horses' hooves in the distance. When I walked to the window and looked out, I saw the officers and soldiers of the brigade came on horseback and surrounded the small courtyard.
"Not good! There are officers and soldiers!"
The others also heard the movement and ran to the window one after another. Gongsun Zhuoyu originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to slip away, but was caught by the masked man and pulled over: "Sir Gongsun, I'm sorry, you can't leave now."
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't say a word, leaning against the door panel to look out through the gap, only to see Xuanyiwei from Jinglu Division leading the team: "Why don't you let me go, I'll go out and tell them that you should leave by yourself. go."
The masked man frowned: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
Gongsun Zhuoyu had already seen the figures of Du Lingchun and Shi Qianqiu outside, he leaned against the door panel, suddenly calmed down, and said to the masked man: "If you hold me hostage, you will definitely not be able to go very far, but you will end up in different places. , but if you let me go, I guarantee that you will not lose a single strand of hair."
