Mr. Liu is well aware of the principle that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. The imperial envoy has already said this, and it would be unwise to refuse any more.
Then he said: "Then it is better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders."
As the carriage drove towards the inn, Mr. Liu had nothing to say and asked, "Prince Gu, who is the man named He you just mentioned?"
As soon as he asked the question, Mr. Liu wanted to bite off his tongue. He promised that the more he knew, the faster he would die. Why didn't he open and lift any pot? Why did he ask this?
Fortunately, Gu Yu sneered and said, "He is a heartless human trafficker, and it would not be a pity to cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts."
Mr. Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and echoed her: "What Prince Gu said is absolutely true."
When the carriage arrived at the inn, Gu Yu saw the long-awaited flat sand at a glance.
Gu Yu said to Mr. Liu, "Mr. Liu, wait in the car for a moment. We will set off to Tongning County in a while."
After saying that, Gu Yu got off the carriage, and Pingsha hurriedly came over and asked, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Gu Yu pulled him into the inn and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes. Change my clothes. From now on, you will be Gu Shizi."
Pingsha couldn't guess what Gu Yu had planned, but he still obeyed and went to change Gu Yu's clothes.
When Pingsha came out, Gu Yu's eyes lit up.
Pingsha has been with her for so long, and he has a little bit of her temperament.
Pingsha's appearance is good, if she is pretending subconsciously, people who have never seen her face will definitely be deceived.
Gu Yudao: "You and Mr. Liu go to Tongning County first and try to let him spend money on the way. Remember, you must protect him."
Pingsha's expression changed and he said, "The prince wants to stay here."
Gu Yu nodded. The most dangerous place is the safest place. After Pingsha and Mr. Liu leave, she will arrange several groups of people to go in different directions to confuse Magistrate Lin and others.
Of course, the most dangerous person is Master Liu, so Pingsha must follow.
Pingsha said: "If I leave, who will protect the prince's safety? If I don't leave, I have to stay with you."
Pingsha was worried. In his eyes, the eldest son of his family was just a wealthy young man who had never experienced hardship. Although he was good at martial arts, he had never really killed anyone.
He and Luo Yan were not with the prince, and the prince was beaten in the face. How could he rest assured to let the prince stay in such a dangerous place alone?
Gu Yudao: "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Pingsha still disagreed, and Gu Yu coldly lowered her face and said, "I'm trying to confuse other people's attention. The farther you go, the safer I will be."
Pingsha then got into the carriage with some anxiety.
Gu Yu opened the curtain of the carriage and said to Master Liu: "Master Liu, in the future, he will be the Crown Prince of Gu. Do you understand?"
Mr. Liu really didn't want to understand, but he knew that there was no way to get off easily after he got on the pirate ship, so he could only bite the bullet and say yes.
Shortly after Mr. Liu and Pingsha left, three more similar carriages left the county town and headed in different directions.
----------------------------------------
Magistrate Lin cursed angrily: "Can't find it? What do you mean you can't find it? Nanwang County is such a big place, how can you not find such a big living person?"
Inspector Lin said: "You deserve to die for your humble position!"
Prisoners who escaped from the county jail were caught back by other officials one after another. Only the one named He escaped and disappeared into the sea with the Niu Niu.
Magistrate Lin said angrily: "You deserve to die, don't say you deserve to die, if they really find something, neither of us will survive!"
Inspector Lin's face turned pale and he said, "Uncle, is it possible that the inner salt field is really true?"
Magistrate Lin immediately interrupted him and said: "Shut up! Keep looking! If you can't find it, you have to finish it all."
At this time, there was a sound outside the door.
"who?"
Inspector Lin quickly opened the door, and a government official ran in from the outside and said: "Back to the county magistrate, I asked the students in our county who went to the symposium. They said that there was a scholar named Gu Yizhen, but on the day of the symposium,
Gu Yizhen transformed into Prince Gu of the Zhenguo Palace, which shocked everyone."
Magistrate Lin and Inspector Lin changed their expressions at the same time.
The most feared thing happened.
After a while, another official came to report: "Back to the county magistrate, Mr. Liu's carriage has left the city, and, and..."
Magistrate Lin had no patience at all now and cursed: "Speak quickly!"
The official said: "Moreover, several carriages belonging to Mr. Liu appeared and went in different directions."
Magistrate Lin's eyes darkened. He let two big fish go free in one day. If the superiors found out, they would have to skin him.
But if the higher-ups don't know, once the news leaks out, don't talk about it, I'm afraid not even the bones and dregs will be left.
After the two officials left, Inspector Lin said, "Uncle, what should we do now?"
Magistrate Lin was sweating coldly and said: "Go and inform Prince An."
Inspector Lin said: "Uncle, do we really want to..."
Magistrate Lin stared into his eyes and said: "From the day I take office, we have no other way out."
Inspector Lin said: "But the time has not yet matured. Surrendering to the imperial court may not be a way out for us now."
County Magistrate Lin looked at his nephew and sighed. After all, his nephew had never been in the officialdom and his thoughts were very naive.
Magistrate Lin said: "We helped hide the inner salt field for so long, and the court will not let us go. What's more, Prince An has a rift in his heart, and the sons he gave birth to are among the best. Long before I came to Nanwang County,
, with the distinction between internal and external salt fields, Prince An has been dormant for many years, and when the day comes, he may not lose."
Inspector Lin said: "But the world has been at peace for a long time. If war breaks out again, Prince An may not be popular among the people."
County Magistrate Lin snorted coldly and said: "Peace has been around for a long time? It's just that you have been living in Jiangnan and had too many comfortable days, so you feel that peace has been around for a long time. And don't forget, who gave Jiangnan the comfortable days."
"
Magistrate Lin clenched his fists tightly. The current emperor is a wise king, but he is too indecisive. The court is tightly controlled by several aristocratic families, and the government is ineffective. Officials like him who came from the imperial examination will never succeed.
And Prince An has the appearance of an emperor, and he also has the thunderous methods of an emperor. He is also able to ignore his origin and treat virtuous people as a corporal. If he hadn't been injured during the palace coup and let the current emperor find out, the world may not be what it would be like.
He thought that when he was in Kyoto, he had flattered him so much that he was transferred to Nanwang County, a prosperous place. Unexpectedly, on the first day after arriving, Prince An personally came to visit him.
I regretted it so much at the time, saying that I had tried so hard to end up in such a disaster.
Later, I gradually realized that blessings and misfortunes depended on each other. Under the rule of Prince An, Jiangnan could really be called Haiyanheqing.
Magistrate Lin let out a long breath.
It depends on whether you can reach the sky in one step or be thrown into the abyss.
I hope Prince An will not disappoint.
Magistrate Lin said: "At all costs, hunt down that person named He, as well as Mr. Liu and Prince Gu. In addition, send a secret message to Prince An, asking him for instructions."
