The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

After Xiao Ruiyuan arranged the relevant matters for Qushui, he hurried back to the Army and Horses Division. In addition to leaving 800 people to garrison the Army and Horses Division to prevent other emergencies, he sent half of the remaining 1,700 people. They went to the major city gates to search for people who were acting suspiciously. Half of them left the city directly and pursued them in all directions.

Such a big movement can easily attract the attention of all forces. In addition, Xiao Ruiyuan is the confidant of Prince Chu Heng. Those princes who are ready to move have long wanted to pull Xiao Ruiyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, to dismount and replace him with one of their own. , if he knew that so many people were sent just to arrest human traffickers, Xiao Ruiyuan would definitely be impeached by the censor in the morning court tomorrow.

Therefore, Xiao Ruiyuan directly placed the reason for this action on Yan Junyu, saying: Young Master Yan was assassinated by an assassin, and the assassin must be hunted down with all his strength to scare the desperadoes.

Yan Junyu is a well-known dandy in the capital, but he is the nephew of the Empress Dowager. He is not only favored by the Empress Dowager, but also very popular with his cousin, Emperor Hui'an. Even the princes and princes have to be polite when they meet him. Called "cousin", given his identity, after being "assassinated", five cities of troops were dispatched to hunt down the assassin, and no one could say "no".

It's just that there was a lot of delay in the middle. When all the arrangements were completed, it was a step too late. The suspicious people were not intercepted at major intersections.

At this time, four or five simple carriages were parked on the fork road at the corner of Nanchengmen Avenue.

"Fat brother, what should I do if there are guards checking at the city gate?"

Sitting in the driver's seat of the front carriage were two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, who looked very honest. The thin man looked at the pedestrians waiting in line for interrogation, and asked the fat man guiltily.

"How dare you, kid? I have a pass token given by the government in my hand, so I'm afraid of him!" The man known as Fat Brother waved his big fat hand nonchalantly, and then whipped up his horse whip to continue. Forward.

"Fat brother, let's be more careful. Why don't you try it with the token first?" The thin man was worried. They had done something big this time. If the boat capsized in the gutter, they wouldn't just be in jail for a few years. thing.

The fat brother looked at the four carriages following him, thought for a moment and handed the riding whip to the thin man: "Okay, let's go and explore first."

The thin man took the riding crop and warned: "Then you have to be careful and don't let anyone see anything."

"Okay, okay, I know, just wait." The fat brother waved his hand impatiently and strode towards the city gate.

The thin man ran out of the car, said hello to his companions behind him, told them to be smarter, and then returned to the car.

The gate of the city was brightly lit by bright torches. The thin man saw that the fat brother was talking to the guard, but he didn't turn around after talking for a while. He couldn't help but look at the sky, and estimated that it was less than a moment before the city gate was closed, and he felt a little bit in his heart. in a hurry.

At this time, the fat man walked back leisurely. When someone came closer, the thin man asked in a low voice, "How are you doing? Can you make it?"

"His grandma is a bitch. The interrogation is very strict this time. All passing carriages will be searched and they will not be able to get out."

The fat man slapped the carriage hard with his palm and cursed.

"Ah? How could this happen? Then, what should we do?" The thin man suddenly became anxious. An idea flashed in his mind, and he remembered a possibility, and his face changed greatly: "Fat, fat brother, we must have caught the wrong meat ticket, right? ?”

Hearing this, the fat brother slapped him on the back of the head: "The meat tickets were all pre-determined, how could we catch someone wrong? If we caught someone wrong, wouldn't the city gate be closed a long time ago and they would be let out?"

When the thin man heard this, he thought it made sense, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "What should we do now?"
