Chapter 1133 Tune the tiger away from the mountain
Zu An's expression changed: "Master Xu, why are you here?"
Seeing his expression, Xu Yu felt secretly happy, but he was very deep in the city, so he forced a tight smile: "The main reason is that I received a tip that some demon clan remnants will take the opportunity to cause trouble recently, so I specially brought people to patrol.
Lord, please be careful, don’t get entangled by the remnants of the demon clan.”
Although he reminded him everywhere and looked concerned, both parties knew exactly what the other party was here for.
All I have to do is tell you directly that I know you are colluding with the demon clan and come with us.
Zu An was also calm: "I have been in Yunzhong for so many years, and I have conquered countless demon clans. They had no time to avoid me, so how could they appear next to me."
Xu Yu thought to himself that you are still pretending to be the same: "The Duke is really powerful. By the way, we have to do a routine inspection now. I hope the Duke doesn't mind."
Huh, let’s see how you end up later!
With a glance as he spoke, his men who had been prepared quickly ran towards the convoy to check what was inside each car.
Zu An immediately shouted: "What are you going to do?"
The guards of the Duke's Palace also raised their weapons, and the confrontation between the two sides was about to break out.
Xu Yu chuckled: "Don't misunderstand me, Lord. In order to prevent the demon clan from harming the people, carriages entering and leaving the city during this period must be strictly inspected. Whether they are ordinary people or dignitaries, we people must set an example."
There were some people watching nearby, and they all started making noises when they heard this, as if he was showing off his official power and exercising his privileges by refusing to allow inspection.
Seeing the reaction of the people around him, Xu Yu smiled slightly. He deliberately did not drive away the people, just to achieve this goal.
At this time, he took the opportunity to come to Zu An and whispered: "Don't worry, Lord, we are just checking and showing off, and we can give everyone an explanation."
Zu Anxin thought, I believe you, you are a very bad old man.
I have to say that he admires these officials more and more for their ability to tell lies with their eyes open without revealing any flaws.
He said coldly: "What if after checking, I find that there is nothing that Sir Xu is looking for?"
Xu Yu said seriously: "Your Majesty's words are wrong. I am just doing a routine inspection. There is nothing I want to find from your Majesty."
Zu An snorted: "Really, but I think Master Xu seems to be very concerned about it."
Xu Yu smiled apologetically and said: "I know this is a bit of a loss of face for the county official. Let's do this. If there is no problem, I will go to your house to apologize later."
This is just talk. When those snake clan members are found, Jian Yanyou's crime will be serious.
Even if his noble status can save his life, his position as Duke will definitely be lost.
How could he possibly apologize to the other party?
"I hope Mr. Xu won't regret it later." Zu An said coldly.
Xu Yu smiled and did not answer. Instead, his eyes signaled his men to take action.
He secretly guarded against the other party's sudden outburst.
He has been sending people to investigate these days, and he can confirm that this guy is transporting the remnants of the Snake Clan. Now that he has been caught, he is worried that the other party will jump over the wall in a hurry, so he secretly holds the imperial edict and is ready to suppress the other party at any time.
His men inspected the convoy roughly, and even used weapons to insert weapons into the cargo pile from time to time.
Zu An frowned: "Is this necessary? What will happen if the goods are damaged later?"
Xu Yu thought to himself that you were worried that those snake clansmen would be stabbed to death, but what he said was: "What the Duke taught me is that I will talk to them."
After speaking, he came to the carriages and scolded his men not to be so rude. He stretched out his hand and pressed down on the carriages, shaking his luck.
However, the smile on his face quickly froze because he realized that there was no living thing in the car.
At this time, his subordinates also came over to report back, hinting with their eyes that he had not found anything.
"How is this possible?" Xu Yu was shocked and hurriedly ran over and lifted the tarpaulins on several nearby trucks.
As expected, there were all kinds of goods inside, but there were no snakes.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Zu An, who was staring at him with a smile: "Master Xu, have you finished checking?"
Xu Yu knew that he might have fallen into a trap, but he still didn't give up and walked straight to the largest carriage.
Without waiting for others to stop him, he went straight to lift the curtain.
Two exclamations of surprise came from inside, and two beautiful young women were seen looking at him in panic.
Wearing expensive jewelry and a beautiful face, the ordinary people watching the excitement not far away were amazed.
After so many years in Yunzhong County, he naturally recognized these two people as the concubines of Yunzhong County Duke, and hurriedly lowered the car curtain:
"It was rude, please forgive me, madam."
At this time, Zu An had already walked over and said angrily: "Master Xu, what are you looking for? It's so unbecoming of an official..."
After saying that, he took advantage of the situation to teach him a lesson.
Being trained like a grandson, Xu Yu felt aggrieved, but he was indeed taken advantage of and had no way to refute, so he could only keep apologizing.
Zu An said coldly: "It is better to go to the door and apologize in person as Master Xu said before. Then I will also invite all the adults to come and bear witness."
Xu Yu's face changed, and his heart was filled with anger. It was obviously me who was checking you, but now you still want to take advantage of me?
The anger value from Xu Yu is +316+316+316...
But he had just said this himself, and the other person was of a higher status than him, so he couldn't refute it even if he wanted to.
Zu An continued to mock him for a while, then got in the car and drove away.
The soldiers around looked at each other in confusion, but they were not surprised. Mr. Xu had arrested his wife, and now he came to check on her. It was only because the county prince had given him a good look.
Back in the carriage, Chu Ji and Liu Ji leaned over with worried faces: "You are so merciless that you pissed off Xu. What should we do if he stares at us?"
Zu An smiled: "I'm afraid he won't keep an eye on us."
Observing the situation behind through Jade Cong, as expected, Xu Yu and others followed him from a distance, obviously wanting to find out what he wanted to do.
Chu Ji couldn't help but patted her chest: "I was shocked. I thought I was trapped just now. Where did you hide them?"
Zu An smiled and said nothing, and of course sent him off through Tang Tian'er.
As the saying goes, there are three burrows for cunning rabbits. The Zhenyuan Chamber of Commerce is so big that there is no way that there are no means of escape.
They had a secret passage in the city that led to the outside of the city. Transporting the demon clan this time was of great importance, and they did not dare to take any risks, so they secretly transported Xing Slave and others out through the secret passage.
But during this period, Xu Yu's investigation was strict, so he made so many convoys with great fanfare, pretending that he wanted to use many convoys to confuse everyone, and then use one of the convoys to transport the snake clan out.
Xu Yu thought he had seen through his plan, but he didn't know that he just wanted to attract the other party's attention.
"Where should we go next?" Liu Ji asked curiously.
"You guys keep going forward, pretending that I am still in the carriage, and stay in a courtyard in the neighboring county for a while." Zu An began to change his clothes. Of course, he was not making such a big fuss just to cover Tang Tianer's transportation of those things.
The Snake Clan wants to take this opportunity to lure the tiger away from the mountain and create a good opportunity to save Yu Yanluo.
Liu Ji and Chu Ji's faces were slightly red. Although they were already close to each other, they both knew that this person was not a prince.
Both women actually had guesses about his identity, but they always had a tacit understanding and never asked to see each other's true face.
Only in this way can they convince themselves to continue...
Soon, Zu An took advantage of a convoy to stop for supplies and secretly left the carriage.
With such a large convoy, and with his current level of cultivation, no one noticed the whole process.
We drove all the way back to Yunzhong City and arrived at the room where Jiang Luofu had stayed temporarily.
There was no one in the room, except for a specially sealed letter.
He took out the token that Jiang Luofu had given him before and pasted it on the envelope's rune, and after the two matched.
The envelope turned into dots of light, and finally converged into a paragraph of text that appeared in mid-air:
"I have lured the drunkard away, you have an hour..."
