Chapter 922
One Hundred and Twenty-One
It has been more than twenty days since they ran out of the inn to make peace. These days, Zhaotong has martial law everywhere, and countless officers and soldiers patrol and arrest people every day. There was no one in the inn as big as a fire in the inn before. He was burned to death, but more than 30 casualties were already caused by avoiding the pursuit of these people.
Even if he has a good temper like Tang Yuan, he becomes very gloomy and irritable, and he is particularly cold when talking about these things.
Zhao informed the mansion that Qin Zhengtong had written a letter to express his guilt, but in this apology, the entire army of the imperial envoy had been wiped out, and the death of the emperor's grandson was concluded.
Xiao Heng's original guess became true - if there were no local high-ranking officials' permission, how could all the people in the post station be replaced by assassination? This matter was clearly that someone was working inside and outside, and fortunately, Xiao Heng insisted on hiding as soon as possible, instead of Go to the government office.
After the news of the government came out, the number of officials and soldiers on the street increased sharply, and countless people patrolled every day.
From this point of view, even the local garrison is already in the hands of the people behind the scenes.
Tang Yuan and Tang Qingfeng and others experienced several hunts before they successfully met with Xiao Heng. Miss Mu San and Mu Qinglu have not been found yet. They were anxious - if Mu Qinglu is gone, even if it is them. After surviving, the battle on the front line is still difficult to fight.
The old men from the Mu Mansion only recognize blood.
But even if they were anxious, they had no more solutions. Because the government pressed step by step, under the guise of finding out the assassin to avenge the crown prince, they began to search for martial law from the capital city step by step. Anyone who could not prove their identity was , all of them were locked up and grabbed.
At first, they could buy some merchants with money to exchange for their identities and avoid hunting, but later, the searches of the government became more and more severe, and even to the point of searching and investigating strangers from door to door, their situation became more and more difficult.
It became increasingly difficult to get out of the city. They escaped from Zhaotong City and paid the terrible price of nineteen casualties.
Many people are still missing.
Thinking of this, Tang Yuan, who had always been calm and self-control, couldn't help but red his eyes: "If this continues, we will have no way out."
They had spent a lot of effort to get this hiding place. The reason why the pursuers just now left was because they had already discussed this place with the villagers, and the villagers were protecting it, saying that they were from I came from Kunming and have lived here for five or six years. Everyone in the village knows them, and this is how it’s time to make a comeback.
But even so, I was still targeted.
Today Qingkun was embarrassed when he went out, and being followed when he came back showed this even more.
But this place has not been around for a long time. Looking at the room full of people, Tang Yuan sighed, feeling a little powerless.
Although he has experienced many battles, he has no soldiers under the general, and even if he has hundreds of abilities, it is difficult to use them!
The atmosphere was stiff and low, and no one said anything for a while.
In the silence, Xiao Heng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke out: "The time is almost done."
opportunity?
Tang Yuan didn't understand. Now they were forced into a desperate situation. It became very difficult for them to hide. Everyone outside was dead. As long as they showed their identities, they would be killed. It can no longer be saved, but Xiao Heng is talking about the opportunity.
He didn't know what time it was.
Xiao Heng glanced at Su Rong, and Su Rong smiled and said to Tang Yuan: "Mr. Concubine, you forgot that the inspector's censor will be here in the next few days."
This is also the reason why these officers and soldiers in Zhaotong have been searching everywhere in recent days - if they can't find it, the inspector and the censor will come to Zhaotong.
The inspector's rank is low, but it can reach Tianting directly, so it has always been a fear of local officials. Recently, the inspector's inspector's Yunnan censor is about to come to Zhaotong. The inspector usually stays for more than ten days when he comes. , it can be seen how Qin Zhengtong and they are worried these days.
Tang Yuan immediately understood what Xiao Heng meant, but he couldn't help frowning: "Even so, the inspector and the Censor only had more than 30 personal guards. What can these people do?"
They have already achieved this point. It doesn’t matter to Qin Zheng and others to kill another censor. After all, even the crown prince and the others dare to kill.
"We don't have to hide if they can't kill you." Xiao Heng smiled, but his eyes were cold: "Forget it, sit down and listen to me."
The night opened, the lights were brightly lit in the prefect's office, and in the signing room, Qin Zhengtong was still not sleepy. He kept walking back and forth anxiously until the knock on the door sounded outside, and he couldn't wait to sing: "Come in!"
Lord Yuan and Zhan Changshi entered the door.
Both of them looked dusty.
But now Qin Zhengtong has no intention of caring about this. He just asked in a deep voice: "Have you found someone?!"
Zhan Changshi shook his head, and Lord Yuan shook his head with an ugly expression: "Not yet"
The response to them was that Qin Zhengtong threw a pen holder.
The crisp sound of shattering sounded, and Qin Zhengtong was a little crazy: "What are you doing? Didn't you say that searching from door to door will definitely yield results? How long has it been? It's been more than twenty days, except for catching one A few unknown people didn't even catch the shadow of the crown prince! What's the use of you?!"
Zhan Changshi lowered his head and said nothing.
Lord Yuan was a little dissatisfied: "We originally searched from house to house, and there was no delay or slackness. Perhaps they had hid in the mountains, and how could they find it for a while?"
Yunnan is already mountainous, and hiding in the mountains is like a muddy cow entering the sea. Where is it so easy to find?
But now these explanations seem to be provocation in Qin Zhengtong's eyes. He sneered at Lord Yuan: "That's your business! Besides, after hiding into the mountains, who knows when they will come out? If they appear in a place that shouldn't have appeared, Don’t think you can stay out of the matter. At worst, everyone will die together! Do you think Lord Wei can save you?!"
Lord Yuan’s brother-in-law, Lord Wei, is the general of Yunnan. It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of Zhaotong Vilatory can be used by them.
But this is not enough. The inspector and the Censor will come from Qujing these days, and all the documents have been sent. According to the rules, the local area will be welcomed grandly.
If Xiao Heng and the others jumped out at this time, would they have to kill another censor?
Although the emperor's grandson is going to be killed anyway, he doesn't care about another censor, but first the emperor's grandson died, and then the inspector's censor died in Zhaotong. No matter how good the reason he was looking for, he, the prefect, was also It's hard to blame.
He looked at Lord Yuan coldly.
