Chapter 156 Arrest

On the city tower, there was a sound of gold clanging.

Yuan Gang and Wei Duo, who had just left the city, looked back and saw that the city gate guards were blocking the crowd from entering and leaving, and the city gate was slowly closing.

Wei Duo secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, Yuan Gang was well-prepared and had already made a detailed route out of the city on the map. If it was a little later in the evening, it would be difficult to get out of the city again.

"Let's go!" Yuan Gang greeted him and he walked away quickly, while reminding: "I don't think it will be long, the passages to and from Jinzhou in the surrounding areas may have to be blocked at various levels. To be safe, I am afraid that it will take a while to walk the mountain road."

"No...it's nothing...it doesn't matter! Just...just...that noise...you made...that...thing?"

"Don't say so many words if you don't know clearly."

At the Liufang Hall, a sedan chair arrived, and under the guard of people and horses, it went directly to the source of the vibration.

After settling down, Hai Ruyue, who had tidied up briefly, got out of the sedan chair, and saw a huge deep pit on the ground along the way. She remembered that there were several rockeries here, but they were all gone now.

Looking at the surrounding flowers and trees, they disappeared in a large area. Some of them were uprooted and toppled, and some were destroyed. The nearby pavilion completely collapsed.

Li Wuhua had already arrived one step ahead, standing by the edge of the deep pit with his hands tensed.

Hai Ruyue walked up to him, and asked in surprise, "Elder, what happened?"

Li Wuhua shook her head: "Not very clear."

Hai Ruyue: "Has the elder never seen this movement before?"

Li Wuhua looked up at the sky, and thought, "According to my experience, it should be a meteorite that fell from the sky, and it happened to hit this place, which made such a big noise!"

Hai Ruyue also looked at the sky, then at the deep pit on the ground, and asked doubtfully, "Where's the meteorite?"

Li Wuhua: "It must have been smashed."

"So that's how it is!" Hai Ruyue nodded, turned around and called Zhu Shun over, and said in a low voice: "Release the news and say that it is a meteorite, which is a good omen, so as to reassure the people! Make a meteorite and parade it in the street to dispel rumors!"

"Yes!" Zhu Shun agreed.

Li Wuhua glanced back at her, smiled slightly, this woman still has a way of government affairs, but she doesn't know how to make it difficult for her to explain to her teacher.

Hai Ruyue looked around, then turned around and asked the person in charge, "I heard that someone was injured, is Mr. Yuan in the west yard okay?"

The person in charge said weakly: "The person is gone!"

Hai Ruyue frowned, "What do you mean missing?"

Person in charge: "Maybe I ran away while in disorder!"

"Run away?" Hai Ruyue sneered, "You can't even look down on a person who has no power to restrain you, what else can you do?" With a wave of his sleeve, he was full of momentum.

Immediately, several people came up and escorted the person in charge to drag him away.

"Eldest Princess...Eldest Princess..."

Ignoring the cries for mercy, Hai Ruyue turned around and summoned a general, "Close the city gate immediately and search for me!"

The general clasped his fists and said, "Princess Hui, as soon as I breathed out here, the last general has already issued an order to seal the city and search for it!"

"Good!" Hai Ruyue praised quite a lot: "Be sure to find him!"

The river is curved, and an arch bridge spans it, and there is a post station beside the bridge head.

A group of people came across the bridge, led by a bearded officer on a tall horse, followed by a hundred infantry.

The men and horses stopped outside the station, and the bearded officer swaying on his horse led a dozen people into the station slowly.

As soon as he jumped off the horse, the postmaster hurried over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "So it's Commander Wang, where are you going?"

The bearded officer stretched his waist and said, "Can you intervene in my errand? Get me two tables of wine and food first."

"Okay, wait a moment." The postmaster responded, and immediately turned around to greet the postmen to get busy.

The bearded officer led a group of cadres under his command into the shed and sat down. Someone came over with the wine first, and drank it first, laughing and laughing.

A postman carried a bundle of firewood to the kitchen. When he passed by, a corporal who was drinking put down his bowl and quietly left the stool to follow. With the rope around his waist untied in his hand, he strode forward, and the rope framed out, directly strangling the postman's mouth. The technique was neat and neat.

Crash! When the firewood fell to the ground, the postman was about to resist, and a few officers and soldiers rushed out from the side in an instant, and directly knocked the postman to the ground, turning arms and legs, like killing a pig. The corporal who was reining in the rope held the rope tightly, and put one knee against the postman's back, pushing him firmly to the ground.

The postman cried out desperately, but with the rope in his mouth, his face was strangled in, so he couldn't speak.

The postmen inside the post station were startled, but the hundreds of people outside heard the wind and moved. Dozens of people bypassed and surrounded the post station.

The postmaster who was flattering beside the centurion was stunned and asked in a daze, "My lord, what does this mean?"

The centurion drank a bowl of wine slowly, stood up, raised his chin to the postman who was lying on the ground, and asked, "Is this the newcomer?"

The postmaster nodded in fear, "Yes, I don't know how he offended my lord?"

"Hmph!" The centurion sneered and waved his hand, "Find his room and search it for me!"

A group of people rushed into the room of the post station and searched through boxes and cabinets.

As for the postmen in the post station, including the postmaster, they all squatted on the ground and hugged their heads together, with bright knives and guns guarding them.

Not long after, someone came out of the station room carrying a birdcage with golden wings, walked up to the centurion and shook off a portrait, "My lord, we found it!"

The centurion looked at the golden wings in the cage, then looked at the portrait, hehe, and looked coldly at the postman on the ground, "Sure enough, there is a problem. This is the person wanted by the higher authorities. Be careful not to kill him!"

Immediately, someone went over and grabbed the postman by his hair and pulled his head up. An iron rod was directly inserted into his mouth, forcefully prying open his mouth. Once the rope tied here was loosened, another pliers penetrated into his mouth, and forcibly pulled out the postman's teeth one by one.

The teeth were not thrown away, but were put one by one into the cloth bag beside them.

Soon, the postman's mouth was dripping with blood, and everyone squatting at the post station not far away felt his scalp go numb.

After the postman's teeth were pulled out, another piece of cloth was stuffed into the postman's mouth, and he was pulled up and quickly tied tightly.

People who searched everywhere in the station came to report, and found no other abnormalities.

Someone brought the horse over, the centurion got on the horse, and the entourage grabbed the postman and prepared to evacuate.

The postmaster ran over, clasped his hands and asked, "My lord, what's going on?"

The centurion didn't want to pay attention at first, but he thought of something later, he stopped his horse and stared at him and asked, "I heard that you have married a new concubine, who is very beautiful?"

"Uh..." The postmaster was taken aback for a moment, and immediately noticed something malicious in the other party's eyes. He took out a gold coin from his sleeve and offered it with both hands, "Brothers have worked hard, buy some wine!"

The centurion showed a sly smile, his face suddenly became serious, and pointed at him with the whip, "This person may be an accomplice, take him away together!"

"My lord!" The Post Chief exclaimed, and he couldn't help but to justify himself. Several people rushed over, turned him over, tied him up, gagged him, and dragged him away together.

Similar situations did not only happen here, not only in Zhao country, but also in post stations in all countries except Yan, similar shocking changes occurred one after another.

Rarely and unprecedentedly, the six countries launched a series of arrests on post stations within their own borders, as quickly as thunder. What followed was a strict investigation of the family members of the arrested person and the people who came and went on a daily basis, which involved a lot of people, and I don't know how many people were destroyed for a while...

In Chizhou Fucheng, after a carriage left the city, it gradually accelerated and galloped along the official road.

In the carriage, Quan Shaokang opened the small window at the back, and until Jinzhou City gradually disappeared from sight, Fang slowly lowered the curtain, turned around and sighed softly, "I'm afraid I won't have a chance to come back after this trip."

The steward Quan Qiao, who was sitting beside him, said: "You and I are originally from the country of Yan. The master misses his homeland every day, and he should be happy to be able to return to his homeland!"

Quan Shaokang: "From nothing to something, I have spent half my life working here, so I just gave up, I am not reconciled!"

Quan Qiao: "The master responded in a timely manner and reminded the higher-ups to respond in time. Although the bottom layer has suffered huge losses, the main network has been preserved and will soon develop again. The master has saved Dayan from even greater losses. Returning to the motherland this time, the future is bright, and I should be happy!"

Quan Shaokang smiled wryly, "Sometimes merit and demerit are on the line. Because of my mistake here, many families have been ruined... When I left home, my father was just a small official. I didn't expect that twenty years later, my father would be able to occupy a high position."

Quan Qiao understood what he meant. If it were an ordinary person, he might be pushed to take the blame for this kind of thing, but there is someone behind this person, and the Yan State Intelligence Department did not dare to push him to take the blame. But when ordinary people enter this profession, many of them will never see the light for the rest of their lives. How can they be like this one, who can be transferred back to China for another appointment due to meritorious deeds? It is clear that someone wants to pick him out of right and wrong, and the people behind him have exerted their strength!

"Master will go back this time, the old man will not let the old man do this job again, I'm afraid there are other plans for the future!" Quan Qiao cupped his hands, "I also got the honor of the old man this time!"

The relationship between the two is actually not a master-servant relationship, but a superior-subordinate relationship, a master-deputy relationship. It is indeed because of Quan Shaokang that he was able to escape this time.

Quan Shaokang looked bewildered, "The situation of Dayan is going from bad to worse now, and he can..." he shook his head, and changed his words, "I don't know when the family members will be able to arrive."

Quan Qiao: "Master, don't worry, the higher-ups will properly arrange the pick-up and drop-off, and the old man will not watch his children and grandchildren have accidents. They have already set off for a few days, and they are estimated to arrive in the territory of Yan State. As soon as they enter the territory of Yan State, they will be able to arrive in the capital safely. It's just that my wife and young masters and ladies may be shocked by their identities..."

The carriage stopped at the foot of a mountain, the two got out of the carriage, Quan Qiao waved his hand, and the coachman continued to drive forward.

The two went into the forest and slowly climbed to the top of the mountain, picked up some dry firewood and piled it on the top of the mountain, and then lit the firewood.

Quan Qiao took out a porcelain bottle, sprinkled some powder on the firewood, and immediately saw a thick yellow smoke rising.

Quan Shaokang stood on the top of the mountain and looked back towards the direction of Chizhou Prefecture, "How many brothers' families were destroyed, but I left them and ran away... Niu Youdao, you are cruel, this debt will never end!"

At this moment, a giant black eagle swept over from the sky, set off a gust of wind and landed on the top of the mountain, with a height of one foot.

A monk jumped down, verified the identities of the two, pulled them up to the back of the eagle, and cast a spell to protect them.

The giant eagle flapped its wings and soared away, leaving only smoke curling up on the top of the mountain...
