Wishful Things

The carriage passed through Dingyun Street.

From here, more than ten li to the south is the South City Gate.

When the carriage reached the end of the street, it stopped suddenly.

Any disturbance at such a juncture is enough to startle people. The moment the carriage stopped, all the people in the carriage suddenly mentioned it in their hearts.

"...It was the people from Wucheng Bingmasi who blocked the way."

The dark guard who was driving the car in the robe of the police guard said in a low voice across the curtain.

"Boom!"

An ear-splitting gong sounded, and soon the sound of horseshoes was mixed with a cold shout: "Clear the streets from now on! No one who has nothing to do will wait to avoid it quickly. After a quarter of an hour, if there is another person who walks around without authorization, no matter what the reason Deal with the assassins!"

All of a sudden, there was a lot of noise everywhere, people's frightened discussions, the sound of hurried closing of the shops facing the street, and the cries of children in the turmoil, all in a mess.

"Go, go! If you are not careful, you will be beheaded!"

"Where did this assassin come from? The government has such a huge force..."

"I heard that the Dali Temple is on fire, and there are assassins who want to rob Xia Shoufu's prison!"

"There is such a thing!"

"Not only... I have a relative who works in the yamen. I just said that the Taimiao seems to be not peaceful. Now the city is getting more and more chaotic... Let's go, go home first!"

"Let's go..."

If there was a big event in the city before, no matter it was good or bad, the common people would watch it as a commotion and eat sunflower seeds as a topic of conversation, but what Xu Mingyi heard right now was panic and uneasiness.

This has something to do with the frequent chaos in the world, the current situation in the city, and even more with the actions of the court and the emperor——

The soldiers and horses of the five cities came forward to clear the streets...

Once the street is cleared, it is equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the "assassins" taking advantage of the chaos and using the crowd as a cover to escape, but such a formation will undoubtedly cause the greatest degree of panic in the hearts of the people.

This must be the emperor's meaning - apart from seeing the empress dowager disappearing and panicking in my heart, I am afraid that they have already suspected their Xu and Wu families!

Now that the street clearing has begun, the next step must be to block the city gates!

Xu Mingyi's subordinates lifted a corner of the curtain to look forward.

The street vendors are busy packing up the stalls, the crowd is leaving in a hurry, a group of troops from the Wucheng Bingma Division in front of them are in the middle of the street, the noisy gongs are still ringing, the leader is scanning the crowd, as if to judge whether there is any Suspicious.

"Break through!"

Xu Mingyi made a decisive decision and told the coachman.

There must be no delay here!

There is no need to worry about mere five-city soldiers and horses when the police are passing through the city!

"drive!"

Seeing the carriage moving, the leader Zhu Xiu and others understood it, and galloped forward with the horse's belly.

The chariots and horses rushed through the crowd, and the people screamed and dodged away.

Hearing the commotion here, the Commander of Nancheng Bingmasi frowned and looked.

At such a critical moment, who dares to cross the market so arrogantly?

This idea just came up, but when he saw the pedestrian's clothes clearly, he no longer had any doubts.

"My lord, I'm from the Police Guard." A soldier reminded in a low voice.

The five city soldiers and horses are in charge of public security affairs in various places in the city. For this reason, they often have frictions with the overbearing and unruly police guards, but they are always the soldiers and horses who can't please.

Who told people to follow the emperor's order directly, no matter how big or small the official position is, it is not under the jurisdiction of any one place?

"I'm not blind!" The commander stabbed the soldier, he could hear the reminder in the soldier's tone, reminding him to get out of the way——

Although he was dissatisfied in every way, but seeing the people and horses rushing all the way and showing no sign of slowing down, he could only lift the reins in his hand: "Go! Let them pass!"

This is a group of mad dogs, he will only provoke them if he is crazy!

A group of people roared past like the wind, bringing up a burst of dust.

"...It really is a bunch of sons of bitches!" The commander cursed a few words in a low voice, and continued to move forward with his men.

"Quicker!"

The avenue leading to the South City Gate was straight and wide, Xu Mingyi explained in the car.

We must hurry before the gates close!

Otherwise, even if the city gate is opened by relying on the privilege of the police guard, it will definitely attract people's attention.

And this is not the worst outcome——

If you encounter the police guards patrolling the exits everywhere and bump into them head-on, then you will really have no escape!

The dark guard responded and drove the carriage quickly.

Ten miles...

Qili...

Duke Zhen in the carriage behind tightened his white lips, calculating in his heart.

At the same moment, Han Yan had already received the news that all the subordinates sent to monitor the Zhen Guogong's mansion had died——

What's more, the huge town government's mansion is actually empty...not even a servant who can be used for interrogation has been found!

But there is no need to go to the interrogation at this time. What is in front of us has confirmed the Xu family's intentions today!

Han Yan personally led a group of police guards to chase in the direction of the south gate.

He dared to be sure that Zhen Guogong and others would choose to leave Beijing through the South City Gate.

Compared with the court soldiers and horses scattered in all directions, the several military camps of the Xu family army are all in the direction of a hundred miles to the south of the city——

At this time, there is no chance of any surprises, time is running out, and the situation is critical. Zhenguo Gongxuan ventured out of the city at this time, betting on the lives of the empress dowager and the descendants of the Xu and Wu families... These people are too important. There is no room for mistakes!

And if you choose other exits, if you are a little careless, it is equivalent to throwing yourself into a trap!

Therefore, it must be in the direction of the South City Gate!

"Snapped!"

Han Yan flicked another whip, and the horse neighed and galloped forward.

This errand is far from ordinary and comparable, if he can't catch up with Duke Zhen and the others today, the only thing waiting for him is death!

"I'm ordered to go out of the city to handle errands, let me go quickly!"

Inside the south city gate, the leader of the "Anti-Resident Guard" showed his waist badge, sat on his horse and stared at the city gate guards with a cold tone.

The guard looked at the badge, and curled his lips inwardly.

It's just a hundred households, yet they are so arrogant...

But if he is not arrogant, he is not a police officer.

It's not just a matter of a day or two for the vicious actions of the police guards to scare people. Looking at the Yama kings in front of them, the guards also have instinctive fear in their hearts.

But recently, the city is extremely unstable. It is said that the assassins robbed the prison at Dali Temple just now, and those guarding the city gates have to be very energetic. Anyone who goes out of the city and enters the city needs to be strictly checked——

Even the family members of a fourth-rank official went out of the city to offer incense just now, and they carefully inspected the carriage.

Thinking of this, the leading guard couldn't help hesitating a little. With a contrived smile on his face, he subconsciously looked at the two carriages following behind a group of security guards.

Seeing this, his eyes changed slightly.

The edge of the carriage in the back was stained with fresh blood, and blood was oozing from under the carriage at this moment...

Or if it soaked for a long time, two drops of blood fell between the wheels.

The blood bead rolled into the dust, still dazzlingly red.

Second, it will be later~
