Chapter 343 Night Walk

At the fourth update, a mule cart drove out quietly from the back door of Shuntian Mansion.

There are cages on the mule cart, but they are different from usual. The cage is covered with a thick layer of rain cloth.

Lao Zhang, who was guarding the door, asked, "It's not dawn yet, and I'm going to go out?"

The driver and the escort were all arresting officers. The escort officer sighed and said, "What's the point? We are all working as a servant. Whatever the above said is."

"There are cages on this car, you are going to pick up prisoners." The yamen runner asked.

"Yes, someone below reports the case, let's go there. If the prisoner is caught, bring it back together." The leader of the arrester spoke and waved to Lao Zhang, "You continue to sleep, we're leaving."

The mule cart drove on the bluestone road in the back alley and gradually disappeared into the night.

Lao Zhang re-up the threshold, closed the cart, and went to sleep with his sleep.

On the mule cart, the arrester who drove the car said angrily: "Old Zhang is talking more and more nonsense. He asked everything he should ask, "He asked too much, that is, you have a good temper and you have to say so much to him."

The arrester who was escorting the car laughed coldly: "Old Zhang is just a slut. He has been guarding the gate for thirty years. He is the oldest person in Shuntian Mansion. If we ignore him today, the entire yamen will know about our going out at night tomorrow. Haven't you seen him ask about the cage in the car?"

"This old maomao is getting more and more annoying. Another day, find an opportunity to tell Captain Yin and find a way to change him." said the arrester who was driving the car.

The arrester who was escorting the car said angrily: "Captain Yin can still drive Lao Zhang? You are overestimating Captain Yin, right? He drove Lao Zhang, and Lao Zhang could drag his son and daughter to his house. In my opinion, I would like to tell Mr. Shen Si about this today. Now in Shuntian Mansion, Mr. Shen Si is better than Mr. Yin."

"Yes, I'm really confused. We were just doing things for Mr. Shen, so of course we had to find him. If he knew that Lao Zhang asked this and that, he might throw Lao Zhang out of the yamen immediately." The person who drove the car laughed as he said, and the person who was escorting the car laughed.

Through the thick rain cloth, the people in the prison car could not see outside, but he could hear what these people said clearly.

He has always been sleeping lightly, especially in prison, so when the boy in black came in, he was already awake.

A mouse saw someone coming in and jumped into the hay. There was also a person in the hay, but the mouse was not afraid of him.

He could not speak and his wrist had broken. He suddenly opened his eyes and met Mr. Shen Si's face.

There were two arresters behind Shen Xiao. Shen Xiao didn't even look at the person lying in the hay and said to the two arresters: "Please carry him out."

Without saying a word, the two arresters carried the man out of the haystack, covered him with a cloth, and walked out of the prison.

When the prison chief saw this, he walked up and asked, "Are you going to change the cell? I'll clean up which room to change."

Mr. Shen said coldly: "Shut up, you didn't see anything tonight."

The prison head was stunned and then said, "Look at my drinking, my eyes were blurred. I'll go and take a look for a while to wake up."

The more people who were carried out heard it, the more frightened he was. Like the prison head, he thought he wanted to change his cell, but now it seems that this is not the case.

If Shen Xiao had to interrogate him overnight, he would not have said such things to the prison chief, so the matter tonight was secret.

He has been imprisoned in prison for three days, and Chen Xiao did not hide it when he went to Qingyuan Bo Mansion to arrest him. He brought the arrestees from Shuntian Prefecture to come to Qingyuan Bo Mansion to arrest people, alarmed the entire Zaoshu Alley. At this time, the capital should have spread all over the capital.

Therefore, no matter who wants to interrogate him, it will not be a secret matter.

So, what does Chen Xiao lift him away in the middle of the night mean?

The wheels made a rumbling sound on the bluestone road, and Master Hua Si's heart also sank.

He was the prison leader just now, and now he is the disciple. Apart from these two arresters, Chen Xiao didn't want anyone to know about the action tonight.

What exactly is Chen Xiao going to do?

After walking for a while, he arrived at the city gate. The flag bearer guard guard who was guarding the city gate asked, "From Shuntian Mansion? It's not dawn yet. Are you escorting the prisoners?"

The arrester who was escorting the car handed over the letter and said, "Yes, escort the prisoner."

The arresters were all wearing official uniforms. As long as they were not blind, they could know that they were from Shuntian Mansion. The flag bearer only took a symbolic look at the letter and opened the city gate and let it go.

Mr. Hua Si’s calm heart got up again. He left the city, he was leaving the city!

He remembered that inn. After he was arrested, he was initially detained in the inn, and later transferred to the jail of the yamen. If he had not been arrested this time, he would have really no idea that Shuntian Mansion had a place to detain prisoners outside the city.

Is he going to send him back to that inn? Why?

A thought arose in the hearts of the Fourth Master Hua. Could it be because of the things sent from the mansion?

Thinking of this, Master Hua Si couldn't help but grit his teeth.

The quilt and buns were all drugged. If he used it, then he might be a dead person now.

No wonder the quilt was so fragrant. He was really careless. Can the quilt sent to the prison use incense?

Although he knew since he was a child that Mrs. Cai and her three brothers didn't like him, and the servants in the mansion did not really treat him as a master, he never expected that those people would kill him.

It is to not affect their reputation or their career, they will kill him!

Yes, he is just a concubine's son, not the biological flesh and blood of Mrs. Cai. Mrs. Cai can even kill Linlin's granddaughter, let alone a bastard.

So Shuntian Prefecture was worried that the people from the Qingyuan Bo Mansion would kill him again, so he sent him to other places overnight.

Yes, that must be the case.

At this time, the person who drove the car and the person who took the car started chatting again.

The person who drove the car said, "We two will be the ones of Mr. Shen in the future, right?"

The escort smiled and said, "Can you still think about this at this time? Be careful to meet A Piao for a while."

"Go to you, I put on the amulet when I went out. The talisman was asked by me at Guangji Temple last year. It worked. By the way, what about you, are there people who ward off evil spirits on your body?"

"What are you avoiding evil? Just a person like me who is full of righteousness, Apiao will only look for you, not for me."

"You are still full of righteousness and will be able to arrive at the mass grave later. Say it again when you start."

"What are you doing? You guy, don't you really want to do it yourself."

"What's wrong? Can this guy die if you don't dare? If you don't dare, then I will do it. I'm strong and I strangled the person to death in just a few seconds. This guy's wrist is broken, so it's easy to deal with."

"Just blow it, it seems like you have strangled someone to death. In my opinion, neither of us should do anything. Dig a hole, throw this kid down, and then bury it with soil. His hands are broken and he can't speak. Even if we don't fill the soil, he can't climb out of the pit."

"Okay, you guys are really bad. This method is good. We have done the work and haven't suffered any life yet. But if we are free tomorrow, we should go to Guangji Temple to worship and get rid of the foul air on our bodies."

"By the way, how much money do you put into the merit box every time you go to Guangji Temple..."

What did these two people say later? Master Hua Si couldn't hear it. His head buzzed, as if countless fly were flying. His head hurt so much that he wanted to vomit.

It was not that Shuntian Mansion wanted to send him to the inn outside the city to protect him, but that they wanted to kill him.

No, Chen Xiao deliberately refused to let others know about the matter tonight. Except for these two arresters, no third person in Shuntian Mansion knew about it.

Therefore, the one who wanted to kill him was not Shuntian Mansion, not the prefect Li Gong, nor the captain Yin, but Chen Xiao!

Why? He has no grudges with the Fourth Young Master Chen on the Clouds, and has no grudges recently. Why did Chen Xiao target him?

Master Hua Si bit his tongue and tried to calm himself down. At this time, the sound from outside floated into his ears again.

"What are we afraid of? The Fourth Master Chen is behind the emperor. He is doing things for the emperor. He is from other people's background. Why do you have to drift this muddy water? It's not because of the emperor. The emperor wants to protect the Qingyuan Mansion and not kill this person. Are you still waiting for the censors to submit a memorial? The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and we want to live a peaceful life, and the emperor also wants to be purified. Do you think this is the reason?"

"What you said is reasonable, you kid, you have not been with Mr. Shen for vain these days, have you seen it?"

"Let's not talk about whether you have any knowledge or not. Let's finish this matter. Not only will we handle the matter for Mr. Chen, but also for the emperor to solve his worries. Oh, tell me, Mr. Chen has received a reward from the emperor. Will he give us a fraction of the money?"

"Maybe, maybe it's really possible. Mr. Chen is not Captain Yin. He is not short of money and he is not short of anything. Can he like the rewards given by the emperor? Apart from those antiques that cannot be rewarded, there are eight out of ten yuan, and nine out of ten yuan to be distributed to us below. You haven't heard Ping An say that he doesn't know what his monthly rate is. He has never collected it and has deposited it in the account room. It doesn't need to be with Mr. Shen. Just the reward he received is several or ten times more than the monthly rate."

The two arresters became more and more excited as they spoke, and they wished they could devote their rest of their lives to Mr. Shen Si.

They were having a lot of chatting, and Master Hua Si in the cage was already cold.

emperor?

As early as the last case, Master Hua Si heard that Mr. Chen Si was in charge of the case under the order.

He was not from Shuntian Prefecture, nor was he from Shuntian Prefecture to observe politics like the eldest prince. He was able to investigate cases openly in Shuntian Prefecture, which was uniquely conferred by the emperor.

It’s ridiculous at that time, Master Hua Si thought Chen Xiao was only investigating that case, but now it seems far from it. Obviously, Chen Xiao followed the holy will and was doing the job in Shuntian Mansion like the eldest prince.

However, the emperor asked the eldest prince to come to Shuntian Mansion to train his son, while the emperor asked Chen Xiao to come to Shuntian Mansion to truly do his job.

For example, killing Hua Si, suppressing the case and maintaining the reputation of the Qingyuan Bo Mansion is what Chen Xiao did for the emperor.

The emperor looked down on the Qingyuan Bo Mansion, but behind the Qingyuan Bo Mansion is the entire circle of nobles. Now it is under the New Year. If the emperor destroys the Qingyuan Bo Mansion, the nobles in the entire capital will probably not have a good New Year.

Those old edicts might line up to run to Cining Palace. At that time, not to mention the previous dynasty, even the harem will not stop.

Instead of making the people in the previous dynasty and the harem uneasy, it is better to just suppress this matter.

Hasn’t the Qingyuan Body Mansion already taken action? I think this decision was made because the emperor knew that the Qingyuan Body Mansion took action.

In fact, there are still many things that make sense about this matter, but at this moment, Master Hua Si is in a mess. People often lose their sense of security in a dark and fearful atmosphere. Once they lose their sense of security, their judgment will be greatly reduced.

Since leaving Shuntian Mansion, along the way, Master Hua Si has become more and more afraid. He can't see outside, but he can hear the sounds outside. His heart suddenly rises and suddenly pulls up. He has long lost his usual calmness. He begins to panic, like a person chased by wild beasts in the wilderness. Even if the road in front of him is familiar with him, he will panic and lose his direction.

Master Hua Si has lost his direction. His thinking is pulled by the conversation between the two arresters, and he gradually loses the ability to judge.

Yes, that's it, the emperor wants to silence his mouth. Yes, the emperor wants to be quiet and maintain superficial calm, so the emperor wants to kill him.

That's right, he guessed it right. All of this was the emperor's order, and it was given by the emperor. It must be, it must be!

The mule cart gradually drove away from the official road, becoming more and more bumpy, and the two arresters also stopped talking, one made the other sit firmly, and the other made the other be careful and never to overturn the car.

After walking for a while, the mule cart finally stopped. The ward who was escorting the cart lifted the tarpaulin, but did not rush to open the cage, but took two shovels from the mule cart. The two wards, one by one, dug a hole on the ground.

Master Hua Si couldn't speak. He could clearly hear the sound of upper and lower teeth colliding. He struggled to reach out to open the cage, but it was a big lock.

Without the key, he could not escape from the cage at all!

Mr. Hua Si's wrist had broken, and the action of reaching out his hand just now made him cry.

He wants to escape, but he can't die. He still has people who can rely on. That person can definitely care about him and help him!

He is a member of the Hua family, but the Hua family never regards him as a relative. From the moment he was born, he was destined to be a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh.

He endured it for more than 20 years and was a low-cost for more than 20 years. He had just had an accident. The first thing those people did to him was not to come to the yamen to protect him, but to kill him to silence him.

Even the emperor had to help the animals. He was no longer welcomed on weekdays. When it came to the stability of the court, he would rather sacrifice him as a little man than to protect the Qingyuan Bo Mansion.

How ridiculous and ridiculous, this is the so-called peaceful and prosperous era!

The Great Zhou Dynasty, this is the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was established by the ancestors of the Zhao family with their unparalleled achievements. The ones sitting high on the dragon throne are no longer descendants of the Zhao family. They are surnamed Qin and are the seeds of the Qin family in Jiuzhi Hutong!
