The next morning, Shang Kui and Wen Old City went through the check-out procedures.
They left Fufeng City in the face of the frigid wind.
Above the city wall, a military general was staring at the direction where the Yulin guards were leaving, until the back of the pedestrian completely disappeared at the end of the line of sight, and the general took his sight back.
He recruited a soldier and explained in a low voice.
"You go to the county governor's mansion and say that those Shengjing people have left."
"Here!"
The soldiers trotted down the city wall, turned over and rode on fast horses, all the way to the county governor's mansion.
In the county governor's mansion, Jian Shujie raised his eyebrows and smiled when he learned that Yu Linwei had left the city.
After the spy came back last night, he repeated the content of the conversation between Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng word for word.
At that time, Jian Shujie was still a little dubious.
He felt that Shang Kui and Wen Old City should not give up so easily, especially that Wen Old City, who seemed to have a deep mind and didn't seem like someone who could be easily dismissed.
unless…
It was the old city of Wen who noticed something, but was afraid of scaring the snakes, so he deliberately swaggered out of the city to create the illusion that they had left.
After the opponent relaxed their vigilance, they disguised themselves and mixed into the city, killing the carbine.
This meticulous and roundabout way of doing things is indeed in line with the feeling of the old city of Wen.
Jian Shujie sneered, he hated people who like to be smart.
Where does Wen Old City think Fufeng City is? Come, come, go, go, dream!
Still want to kill a carbine
Absolutely not possible!
Jian Shujie called Chang Shi and ordered.
"The order has been issued to strengthen the guarding of various city gates from today. We must strictly investigate the entry of foreigners into the city. If any suspicious people are found, they will all be sent to prison as meticulous work!"
"Here!"
There are four gates in Fufeng City, including two large gates and two small gates.
After receiving the order of the county governor, all four gates began to be under martial law.
As the night got darker, Jian Shujie went to bed after having dinner as usual.
When he was in a daze, he suddenly heard screams from outside.
"There are thieves! Come on! There are thieves in the house!"
Jian Shujie suddenly woke up from his sleep.
He quickly lifted the quilt, sat up, and threw the coat hanging on the head of the bed.
As soon as the door opened, the cold wind rushed into the room, causing him to shiver.
He didn't care so much, and ran out despite the cold.
It happened that the butler led a group of people to run here.
Jian Shujie grabbed the housekeeper and asked sharply.
"What's the matter? How come there are thieves in the mansion?"
The housekeeper apparently just got up from the bed, and his clothes were not properly dressed, and his hair was messy.
he said quickly.
"I don't know the specific situation, I only know that a thief has entered the house.
Now the guards in the mansion have all moved, and everyone is tracing the whereabouts of the thief.
It's very cold outside, please go back to your room, my lord.
We'll be here to keep you safe.
With so many guards catching a little thief, he will definitely be able to catch him soon, adults don't have to worry too much. "
Jian Shujie was only wearing a coat, and the winter night was cold. He just stood outside for a while, and his hands and feet were numb from the cold.
He turned back to the warm room.
Before the thief was caught, Jian Shujie was completely drowsy.
Under the service of his servants, he put on his clothes, shoes and socks neatly.
It was already late at night, but the county governor's mansion was still brightly lit. There were people running back and forth everywhere in the mansion. From time to time, shouts and shouts could be heard, which was even more lively than the temple fairs during the Chinese New Year.
Jian Shujie waited patiently for a while, but never waited for the news that the thief had been caught.
His patience gradually ran out, and he asked with a frown.
"Didn't you say there's only one thief? Why haven't you been caught yet?"
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I'll go ask now, please wait a moment, my lord."
He ran out in a hurry and came back soon after.
"Master Qi, after the thief was discovered, he hid. The guards searched the entire county house, but couldn't find the thief. What's even more strange is that nothing was lost in the mansion, and I don't know what the thief tried to do. What are you doing in the manor?"
In the end, the butler also felt that this matter was very strange.
Jian Shujie didn't know what to think, and his face suddenly changed.
He hurriedly asked, "Have the guards searched the West Court?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "No, the west courtyard is where the wife lives. The wife is seriously ill. The doctor said that she must be rested. The guards are afraid of scaring the wife, and no one dares to enter the west courtyard."
Jian Shujie scolded in a low voice, "That bastard must be in the West Court!"
He pushed the butler away, stood up and rushed out.
The housekeeper was taken aback by the sudden action of the county governor.
But he quickly reacted, and hurriedly followed up with a group of servants.
"Sir, slow down, the road is slippery in the dark, be careful to fall!"
Jian Shujie is almost dying now, where is he still in the mood to see if the pipeline is slippery? !
He almost tried his best to suck the milk and ran all the way to the west courtyard.
At this time, the gate of the west courtyard was closed, and there were several guards wandering outside the west courtyard, obviously wanting to go in and search, but they were afraid of disturbing the lady, so they hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do.
The guards hurriedly knelt on one knee when they saw the sudden appearance of the county guard.
"My subordinates meet the county governor!"
Jian Shujie didn't even look at the guards, strode forward, and slammed the gate of the west courtyard.
Soon the courtyard door was opened.
It was a rough old woman who opened the door. She actually heard the noise outside and knew that a thief had entered the house. She was afraid that the thief would break into the west courtyard, so she closed the courtyard door immediately and locked it from the inside. .
At this time, seeing the county governor coming in person, the old woman knelt down with a plop as if she had seen a savior.
Jian Shujie asked sharply, "Did the thief enter the Western Courtyard?"
The old woman shook her head quickly without thinking.
"No! The slaves have been guarding here, and no one has entered the West Court."
Jian Shujie asked again, "Where's Madam?"
Wife: "Madam is still sleeping."
Jian Shujie strode into the west courtyard and went straight to the bedroom in the main house.
The bedroom door was tightly closed, and a little maid was guarding the door.
The maid was still a little drowsy at first, but when she suddenly saw the county governor rushing over with a large group of people, her drowsiness was suddenly frightened away.
She hurriedly bowed her knees and bowed: "The slave and servants pay tribute to the county governor!"
Jian Shujie looked at the closed door and asked in a low voice.
"Madam is still resting?"
The maid nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Jian Shujie: "Has anyone else been here?"
The maid hurriedly shook her head: "No!"
Jian Shujie was a little relieved.
But to be on the safe side, he decided to go in and take a look in person.
