"Quick! Move faster~!"
In the dark night, a Forbidden Army rushed out from the post house holding torches and riding war horses. The leader was clearly Dugu Feiying. In addition to the Forbidden Army, Han Lizheng was also followed behind him. As for Li Tai, Tiedan and others, Not listed.
In fact, Li Tai wanted to go to Baoshengfang with him, but Dugu Feiying suggested that Li Tai stay in the post house because it was unsafe at night. Han Lizheng, Tiedan and others also followed suit. In the end, Li Tai had no choice but to stay in the post house. Reluctantly, he gave up the idea and stayed at the post house with Tiedan.
The fact is indeed as Dugu Feiying said, there are no neon lights or street lights in this era. At night, if there is no moon, it will be invisible on the streets. In this case, once someone ambush or launch a cold arrow, it will be difficult to guard against it. !
"Zhang Dafu, come forward and lead the way to Baoshengfang~!"
After leaving the post house, Dugu Xin shouted loudly.
After all, he is not a native of Taiyuan, and it is also night now. Without anyone to guide him, it will be difficult to find Baoshengfang.
"yes!"
A sergeant responded, then stepped out of the crowd and came to Dugu Feiying's side. He was only half a horse ahead of Dugu Feiying, and the group of people ran towards the south of the city.
However, because it was night and the light was not good, they did not dare to go as fast as during the day. Otherwise, if they hit any obstacle, they would be knocked over and it would easily cause a stampede.
The movement on the street inevitably alarmed the people in the private houses on both sides of the street. However, according to the curfew system of big cities in this era, all the houses were closed at this time. Even if the people heard the movement, they could not go out to check. Only some people who lived on the edge of the village could see a long "fire dragon" on the street through their second-floor windows, rushing towards the south!
At the same time, the soldiers from Bingzhou Camp, led by Fang Gongteng, also rushed towards the south of the city in the night. The number of this team was larger than that of the Forbidden Army, about 400 people, and a "group consisting of 400 torches" "Fire Dragon" is even more spectacular than Dugu Feiying's team!
However, Bingzhou Camp is actually northwest of Taiyuan City, and the post house is almost in the center of Taiyuan City. Therefore, from a distance perspective, Bingzhou Camp is further away from Baoshengfang in the south of the city!
In order to rush to the south of the city quickly, Fang Gongteng specially sent two people to ride fast horses to clear the way in front of the team. In this way, even if there were obstacles on the road, only the two people who were clearing the way would be knocked over without affecting the others. The speed of the entire team.
By the way, if there is a moon tonight, they can ride their horses at full speed under the moonlight without worrying about hitting obstacles in the dark night. But there is no moon tonight, so Fang Gongteng can only use this "stupid method" "To increase the forward speed of their team as much as possible!
However, the speed of their team is much faster than that of Dugu Feiying and his team! After all, most of the soldiers in the Bingzhou camp have lived in Taiyuan City for many years. The Forbidden Army is far less familiar with the roads in the city than them. They naturally have an advantage when traveling at night!
"... Since Uncle Wang Shi has never heard of this Zhao Deyan, I will leave first~!"
In the ancestral residence of the Wang family, in the courtyard where the main room is located, Dugu Xin stood up and cupped his fists at Wang Yu.
In the evening, when Li Tai and his party went to the Governor's Mansion, Dugu Xin brought a few people to Wang's house. Mainly because he wanted to learn about Zhao Deyan's information from Wang Yu, and also to explore Wang Yu's tone and see Wang Yu. Here, is there any progress in tracing the identity of the assassin
However, to his disappointment, Wang Yu only expressed strong surprise after learning the contents of the secret letter brought by Han Lizheng. He was not aware of Zhao Deyan's identity, so Duguxin could only He left disappointed.
Wang Yu stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, nephew, I have sent someone to read the county annals of each county. As long as this person was from the Tang Dynasty before, I believe there will be news soon! By then, I will send someone to the county as soon as possible. Go to the post house and inform your nephew!"
Dugu Xin smiled, clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Then I'll help Uncle Wang Shi!"
He understood that since Wang Yu said this, he sincerely wanted to help him solve the problem, rather than perfunctory him. Judging from Wang Yu's expression and words, Wang Yu should really not know Zhao Deyan, which showed that the two had previously There is no connection. In this way, the suspicion on Wang Yu will be reduced a bit!
"My nephew, you're welcome!"
Wang Yu cupped his hands and said.
Just as the two said goodbye, an old servant came outside the house, but after catching a glimpse of the situation inside the house, he quickly stopped and did not continue walking inside.
After a while, Wang Yu sent Dugu Xin out of the room and walked toward the door.
"Master, someone from the second room has left the house, and the commander has followed him in person!"
As soon as Wang Yu sent Dugu Xin out of the mansion, the old servant from before quickly followed and bowed to Wang Yu.
Wang Yu was shocked when he heard this and said, "When did it happen?"
The old servant bowed and said: "Go home, Master, about half a quarter of an hour ago, the commander-in-chief followed that man out of the house! The old servant wanted to tell him, but at that time the master was discussing important matters with General Dugu, and the old servant did not dare Excuse me, so..."
Wang Yu nodded, but did not blame the old servant for this. He waved his hand and said: "You did the right thing! I can't blame you for this~!"
According to Wang Bing's meaning, even if the second wife of the Wang family colludes with foreign countries, it is best for the Wang family to be the first to discover the second wife's crimes, not people from the government or people around Li Tai. This is also Wang Yu's meaning! The old servant's previous actions were in line with Wang Yu's wishes.
"Thank you for your understanding, Patriarch! Don't worry, Patriarch, the Commander-in-Chief has left us secret codes along the way. As long as our people follow the secret codes, we will be able to follow the Commander-in-Chief and the others~!"
The old slave said again.
Wang Yu heard this and decisively ordered: "Okay! Send someone to follow immediately. There is a sudden movement in the second room. It is very likely that they are jumping over the wall in a desperate attempt to kill people and silence them. They must be stopped!"
"Yes! I will make arrangements now!"
The old slave bowed to accept the order, then turned and left.
But they didn't know that what they just said in the front yard was heard by Dugu Xin, who was standing outside the courtyard wall and did not leave. Dugu Xin had noticed the old servant very early. He had only seen the old servant there before. He felt a little strange when he wanted to enter the room but didn't. After Wang Yu sent him out of the house, he deliberately took two steps and turned back. Unexpectedly, he happened to hear the conversation between the two.
"The second room of the Wang family! That assassin is indeed related to the second room of the Wang family~!"
Dugu Xin murmured to himself, then turned around and whispered to the two sergeants beside him: "Zhao Erhu, Shen Quan, you two stay, and secretly follow the Wang family's guards later to see what happened to them. Where are you going? Then one of you will go back to the posthouse to report the news, and the other will stay with them and wait and see what happens~!"
Dugu Xin really wanted to follow him personally, but his family knew about his family affairs. He was seriously injured and had not recovered from his strength. He was unable to complete the tracking task, so he could only order his men to go!
"Yes! General~!"
The two sergeants bowed to accept the order.
Only then did Dugu Xin board the carriage and return to the post house.
