Chapter 106: The Death of Ye Gucheng
Soldiers were stationed, and people were hung on the city.
This scene, let alone the people who came in and out, were nervous even those who didn't leave the city just passed by and glanced at it.
"Oh, I don't know how Ye Gucheng is?" Looking at Wang An's head hanging on the city gate, Li Yang sighed secretly.
Of course, he did not forget what happened last night. He was not stupid, but he knew that even though he wanted to break his head, he would not have thought of what happened in the imperial study that night, so what happened to Ye Gucheng.
He had the opportunity to go to the Imperial Study Room to find out last night, but at that time he felt that Wang An was not speaking very naturally, so he became suspicious.
Of course, it was just suspicion. Li Yang was not Zhuge Liang who was as expected. He could not expect that Wang An’s head would hang on the city today, and he could not expect that if he went with Wang An last night, what he would encounter in the end. But judging from Wang An’s head at the moment, it was obviously impossible that Wang An would say “Ye Gucheng’s reward”.
Ye Gucheng wants to kill him?
A rabbit is dead and a dog is cooked?
Absolutely impossible.
After learning Ye Gucheng's sword and seeing Ye Gucheng's pursuit of swordsmanship, Li Yang realized that it was this person who planned the conspiracy to usurp power, who actually had a noble personality qualities than anyone else.
This quality has nothing to do with universal moral values and standards of good and evil. Instead, once you identify something, you will pursue it until death. Until now, Li Yang still remembers that day when Ye Gucheng asked for his sword after his failure in entrusting his entrusting.
So Li Yang respects and admires Ye Gucheng from the bottom of his heart.
Because he himself may never become such a person.
"Bang bang bang bang."
A small team of yamen runners came to the city gate. One of them stood at the city gate with gongs and drumsticks, and knocked three times at the people entering and leaving, attracting all the people to stop and look at each other.
The yamen runner stretched out his hand and another yamen runner raised a wanted portrait with both hands. Isn’t the wanted criminal in the portrait Li Yang?
The yamen runner pointed at the wanted portrait, "Everyone came over and saw clearly that the criminals on this portrait and the head hanging on the city were all committed the death penalty of treason. Anyone who found this person would be rewarded by the court. After returning, they would usually pay attention. If they found that there was a suspicious sign, they should report it immediately. If there was anyone who knew that the information would not be reported, hum, treat it as a party to conspiracy with the party."
Li Yang leaned over and looked at the criminals in the portrait with the people around him.
The first half is a portrait, and it is quite handsome.
The second half is a message about a criminal, which is very detailed, covering almost all the external characteristics of Li Yang, as well as the traces of life in this world over the past two years.
The yamen runner handed the portrait to the soldiers guarding the city. The soldier who held the portrait and constantly compared the people who left the city directly threw away the wanted portrait in his hand and replaced it with this more detailed and clear portrait.
Because of his reputation, the information about Li Yang is so easy to verify. In just a few days, Li Yang's wanted portraits have been changed to four, each one is clearer and more comprehensive than the previous portrait, and it even clearly indicates the light skills, swordsmanship and other aspects that Li Yang is good at.
"I was just wanted to treat me as the murderer in the city, but this time I was involved in a serious crime of corruption. Obviously, the duel of me pretending to be Ye Gucheng last night has been discovered..."
A wanted portrait made Li Yang think a lot, and he also felt even more worried about Ye Gucheng's safety.
"According to the information currently available, the assassination of the emperor was obviously failed, and Ye Gucheng was missing... But what exactly made Ye Gucheng fail? With his almost recognized swordsmanship, which is the best in the world, it actually failed? Is it that a stronger man stopped Ye Gucheng? Or did some unexpected situations happen that led to Ye Gucheng's failure?"
All the questions finally turned into three words in Li Yang's mind:
have no idea.
"Tread and step..." The dense footsteps awakened Li Yang from his thoughts.
Raise your eyes and look at it.
I saw a team of soldiers of five hundred people running towards the city gate in an orderly manner, holding swords and wearing armor. When I ran, the armor on my body rustled, and the steps fell to the ground were loud and powerful. At a glance, I knew that this was a well-trained elite soldier team.
The people who were originally gathered at the entrance of the city to look at the wanted portraits were a little scared to disperse. Those who were about to leave the city also speeded up, for fear of getting into trouble.
The scene was a little chaotic.
At this moment, a ball of white dots suddenly appeared, flying from far to near.
Li Yang raised his hand and grabbed the ball of things.
It is a piece of white paper curled into a ball, wrapped in a stone.
Li Yang glanced around.
Everyone who left the city, searched the people and soldiers, was busy doing their own things, and no one paid attention to him at all.
And the person who threw the paper ball was unknown.
Li Yang lowered his head and opened the crumpled piece of paper, threw the stones inside to the ground, looking at the white paper, with four words written on it.
"Stop running."
"I'm not a fool." So Li Yang didn't run away quickly.
Instead, walk slowly.
He originally intended to leave the city, but now he went back to the city without looking back, running quickly, not being conspicuous, just like other pedestrians on the road.
Unlike the five hundred soldiers who came in neat steps, the soldiers ran over from the center of the street with great fanfare, while Li Yang walked over from the side of the street with a slow pace.
At this time, Li Yang walked even slower and listened carefully to the sound behind him.
Five hundred soldiers ran to the city gate and shouted to the soldiers guarding the city: "Where is the person?"
"Who?" the soldiers guarding the city said in confusion.
"Someone reported that the traitor was here, where is it?"
"Is it a false alarm? I've been searching here for a day, and I dare not neglect for a moment. I have never seen a traitor."
The man who led five hundred soldiers stared at his eyes as big as a copper bell, glanced back and forth around, and was still unwilling to give up looking for the thief.
At this time, Li Yang had turned a corner and could not see any shadows.
Walk through the streets and alleys.
Li Yang, who had just escaped the disaster, not only did not hide, but instead walked into a familiar money house openly.
Datong Money House.
Li Yang walked to the counter and opened his mouth with the same words: "Exchange money."
“How much do you redeem?”
"All." Li Yang took out all the silver notes obtained from the Silver Hook Gambling House.
A total of 1.5 million taels.
Five hundred thousand taels, and the turn of the goods turned into one.5 million taels. Obviously, the gambling rate in the gambling shop was not as mentioned by the guest servant. It increased in three days, and it still tried three times.
However, 1.5 million taels are a huge profit. Li Yang is still very satisfied with the speculative return this time.
The cashing of 1.5 million taels of silver notes naturally cannot be as fast as cashing out 150 taels. Li Yang waited patiently.
At this time, a woman walked in from the money shop, standing behind Li Yang as if she was withdrawing money, and when she opened her mouth, it had nothing to do with withdrawing money.
"Just just escaped, do you still have the leisure to exchange for money? Should I praise you for being brave or scold you for being heartless?"
Li Yang didn't look back, and he could tell who it was after listening to the sound.
Love.
"It is precisely because I have escaped the disaster that I have to take advantage of the time to exchange the money. Could it be that I have to wait until I am caught by the court and then exchange the money?" Li Yang replied with confidence.
It sounds quite reasonable.
"False truth." Qing'er hummed.
"How did you recognize me?" Li Yang asked.
He asked himself that even if his parents saw him, he would never recognize him.
"Of course I have my own way." Qing'er said vaguely, obviously not wanting to say it.
"You'd better make it clear that as a fugitive who is being wanted by the whole city, I don't have much patience." Li Yang really didn't have much patience, and he began to threaten the woman in an abnormal manner.
"I just helped you escape, and you just repay your benefactor like this?" Qing'er asked.
"You threw the note?" Li Yang said in confusion.
Qing'er gave Li Yang a blank look, "What do you think? Now the court, the world, and the whole world are your enemies. Who will help you except me, a kind old friend?"
Speaking of this, Qing'er was a little depressed, "I originally thought that after you left the city gate, you should have come to me as your life-saving benefactor as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that you came to this money house calmly. There was no way, so I could only come to you. I think you are so unscrupulous."
"Is this still unscrupulous?" Li Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He is almost timid.
Just because he was cowardly, he just felt that Wang An was a little unnatural last night, so he gave up exploring what happened in the imperial study room and Ye Gucheng's life and death, and fled. Until now, he was completely blind and knew nothing.
If he had really had no scruples, he would have gone directly to the palace, rushed to the emperor, carried the emperor's collar, and questioned him what happened last night.
That's so good.
Die quickly.
So Li Yang decided: Keep being timid.
"I guess you don't know yet." Qing'er suddenly said.
Li Yang nodded, "If you don't say it, of course I don't know."
Lover pursed his mouth.
She had to admit that in terms of words, she was really no match for this guy.
