The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

"Fleeing?! You said Zhou Ruqing is going to flee outside Da Zhou?!"

"Yes!"

The corrupt officials who are almost on the verge of desperation do not care about the steel knife that is placed around their necks. They only search for people’s property and even blatantly destroy the court’s laws and regulations.

Adding all these things together, perhaps because of the limitations of the times and the traditional concept that the homeland is inseparable, others could not see what Zhou Ruqing had made, but Sun Shaozong immediately thought of the word ‘fleeing’.

After all, in the era he was in, the flight of corrupt officials was arguably the most common routine!

In the face of this mortal situation, Zhou Ruqing and others want to survive, but they are afraid that there is only one way to ‘flee with the money’!

Because Jinmen Mansion is quite far away from the land border, if you want to flee with a large amount of gold and silver, there are almost only sea routes to choose from.

Therefore, Sun Shaozong was only on the wharf, and he would pay attention to the large ships that could go to sea, hoping to find evidence of Zhou Ruqing's attempt to escape.

It's just that the number of ships on the sea actually exceeded Sun Shaozong's expectations.

But at the moment, he didn't dare to provoke an alarm, so he could only send someone to secretly visit the two servants and a small servant by his side, but he didn't know when to find out.

In case Zhou Ruqing hadn't found any clues, then Zhou Ruqing first took the people and fled to the sea, and then wanted to get those people back, but it would be difficult to reach the sky.

So on the way back, Sun Shaozong wondered where to find more people.

It is not without the soldiers and horses that he has achieved. In the local Dragon Guarding and Guarding Hundred Houses, at least 30 or 40 people can be sent by him.

But the problem is that Sun Shaozong has not even seen Jia Shanyao, and I don't know how he is related to the Governor's Mansion. If Jia Shanyao himself is involved, wouldn't it mean asking him for help?

Being in a dilemma, he happened to be making things difficult for him. Seeing that he was upright and quite business-like, he had an enmity with the Governor's Mansion, so he started his idea.

Unlike Sun Shaozong's habit of light car and Jane Cong, almost all of the trips when he was an official these years were greeted before and behind, and Xiang Yi was no exception.

The servants he was accompanying, plus the servants he carried, there were a dozen or so, as long as half of them could be trusted, it was enough.

Only after Sun Shaozong analyzed his inference briefly with this Yi, Xiang Yi shook his head like a rattle: "I can't do it, I can't do it! Those stupid guys usually run errands. Cheng, how dare to entrust the great relationship to them now? If the news is leaked, wouldn't Xiang Xiang become a sinner through the ages?!"

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's really impossible, Xiang Mou dressed up and went personally..."

"It's not necessary!"

Sun Shaozong hurriedly interrupted him. This literary man who looked at him was just a standard literati. He really wanted to go out to inquire about the news. He was afraid that he would have to make people see the problem if he couldn't say a few words.

"Brother Xiang, in fact, there is no need to tell the people below about the joints, we just need to..."

Sun Shaozong explained a few words like this, and Xiang Yi suddenly felt his eyes shine.

He also ignored Sun Shaozong's opinion, grabbed the front a few steps, and shouted: "Call everyone in, and the officer has something to explain!"

Those people who belonged to officials and domestic servants all knew that he had just been wronged and was full of grievances and nowhere to vent. Naturally, they didn't dare to neglect the slightest bit, and they all rushed into the living room.

Sure enough, as Sun Shaozong guessed, there were as many as fifteen people, young and old.

"Brother Xiang."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "Just find a few powerful ones, there is no need to send them out."

Only then did Xiang Yi suddenly rush to the usually stupid one, and went outside to carry the luggage, and then said to the rest of the people: "Presumably you all know that now the Governor's Mansion has nowhere to spread anger, so he moved to our Cangzhou people. If I stay in this Jinmen Mansion, I’m afraid it’s hard to tell if I can’t go back alive."

As soon as everyone heard this, they waited for a few words of relief to him.

Xiang Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything else. I just discussed with Master Sun. Instead of staying here and waiting for death, we should just find a way to leave here."

Leave here?

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, and one of the staff members boldly reminded: "My lord, according to the orders of the Governor's Mansion, now this Jinmen can only enter but not exit..."

"Confused!"

Xiang Yi glared, and said angrily: "It's burning eyebrows, how can we manage this much?"

After a pause, he slightly lowered his voice and said, "Besides, you have also seen the panic from the Governor's Mansion. Lord Zhou is afraid that he will not be able to protect himself this time. As long as we can survive these few days, we don't have to worry about him being held accountable afterwards. Up!"

Everyone has some truth in hearing this. They may not know what the Governor's Mansion was like before, but they will certainly not be able to please them just because of the random arrests of people and their homes in the past two days.

"In fact, this officer has already inquired clearly."

Sun Shaozong interrupted at the right time: "Although there are cruise ships guarding the north and south canals, the direction of the sea is not set. As long as we can find a ship that is willing to go to sea, it will be much easier to leave Jinmen."

"exactly!"

Xiang Yi said again: "It's best to be a big ocean ship, because in addition to me and Master Sun, there are two other colleagues who also intend to leave together. An ordinary boat may not be able to hold so many people."

"You don't have to ask one by one when you wait."

Sun Shaozong said again: "Now the people in this city are panicking. No one knows if the next person to be ransacked is himself or not. According to the official inference, there must be a sea merchant who has thought of us!"

"So you only need to find out. In the last two days, there have been those ocean ships that have purchased supplies for going to sea. It is enough to come back and report."

The two of them explained clearly in a few words, and promised to pay a lot of money. Only then did they call out the three of Sun Shaozong's men and sent them out to inquire about the news.

When the people in the living room were all cleaned up, Xiang Yi suddenly collapsed as if collapsed, and fell softly on the master chair, panting heavily.

After a long time, he slowed down a bit, but then asked nervously: "Master Sun, let's do this, can we really hide from the people in the Governor's Mansion?"

"It is naturally not so easy to fool the past completely. That's why you have to give out false news." Sun Shaozong said, "I'm going back to attend the big brother's wedding. You were almost caught in prison and eager to leave this place of right and wrong. It all makes sense."

"And if Governor Zhou really intends to flee~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I dare not delay it for too long. I guess it will last until the next day at most, that is already the limit."

"In this way, even if we escape tomorrow, we won't have time to go to the capital to bring in rescue soldiers."

"So even if the Governor's Mansion gets the news, it shouldn't pay attention to our'insignificant thoughts', and naturally it won't be horrified."

When Sun Shaozong said this, seeing Xiang Yi already relaxed completely, he smiled again: "Of course, this is just my own speculation. If Governor Zhou is sufficiently vigilant..."

Halfway through, he shut up.

Xiang Yi immediately raised his heart to his throat again, and asked, "If Zhou Ruqing was sufficiently vigilant, what would happen?!"

"If Governor Zhou is vigilant enough, I'm afraid I can only kill him all the way from here to the Governor's Mansion and capture him alive!"

As Sun Shaozong said, he burst into laughter.

Xiang Yi thought he was joking, so he also laughed.
