Chapter 208 What is Lord Gongsun doing out of the city?

People came and went in the market at night. The masked man drove the carriage very fast and quickly disappeared into the crowd.Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes almost popped out of his head. He could only watch Shi Qianqiu's back being left far behind. She didn't know whether he saw her or not. He was so anxious that he stamped his feet in the car.

The masked man heard the noise, raised the car curtain, looked back at him, and scolded in a cold voice: "Believe it or not, I'll chop you if you make any more noise!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu made an aggrieved cry and shrank into the corner of the carriage.

Seeing that he seemed to be afraid, Mo Jingxian frowned worriedly, and comforted her: "Sir, don't worry, he probably won't hurt our lives."

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought that it would be hard to say. There were countless examples of robbers killing people and silencing them. He leaned against the wall of the car and nodded feebly without saying a word.

Ever since Ye Wuhen was kidnapped from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, the city gates had been strengthened and guards were strictly inspected, and ordinary people were not allowed to go out unless there was nothing wrong.When the masked man drove the car about ten meters away from the city gate, he turned around and sat in the car. He put a knife against Gongsun Zhuoyu's neck, untied the rope from his wrist, and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you useHow can we ask the city gate guards to let us out? Otherwise, if you are discovered, I will be the first to kill you and then fight them to the death."

Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled and said: "I am just an official the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean. I need the emperor's will to get out of the city. You have found the wrong person."

The masked man put the dagger against his back, exerted slight force, and only asked: "Are you going?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu straightened his back and said quickly: "Go, go, I'll go."

The people who were checking at the city gate today were people from the Jinglu Division. They had met Ye Wuhen before.Everyone was carrying knives and walking back and forth at the city gate, staring at the people passing by with burning eyes. Some people wanted to go out of the city, but they were all driven back.

At this moment, a blue-topped carriage suddenly drove over. Seeing that the driver was a young man, the guard immediately stopped him: "The capital is under martial law. You are not allowed to go out without a written order. Get back quickly!"

The driver was Gongsun Zhuoyu. Through a thin curtain, the masked man was holding a dagger against his lower back.

Seeing that the car was stopped, Gongsun Zhuoyu glanced at the closed city gate: "Are you really not allowed to go out?"

The guard frowned: "Didn't you hear what I said? The whole city is under martial law and no one is allowed to go out!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was relieved. He looked back at the car and lowered his voice to the masked man: "What should I do? I told you I can't get out."

The masked man sneered: "Stop playing tricks and show them your cards! If I can't get out, you won't be able to live either."

Gongsun Zhuoyu clicked his tongue and muttered: "I'm not a high official, they won't let me go."

After he finished speaking, he put down the curtain. Due to the dagger pressed against his waist, he could only reluctantly show his Jingzhaoyin waist badge to the guard: "I have to go out of the city for business, please open the door as soon as possible!"

Upon seeing this, the guard took the belt card and looked at it, then handed it back: "If your Excellency has Du Si's handwriting, you can naturally leave the city. If not, I will not be able to obey."

Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, thinking that he was really a good and loyal guard, so just don't let him go, but don't let him go.He put his badge in his arms, turned back to face the carriage and said in a low voice: "Look, I just said it, I'm just an official about the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, and people won't buy my face."

The masked man was about to speak when he saw a deputy with a sword suddenly approaching not far away. He quickly hid in the carriage and at the same time pressed the dagger in his hand against Gongsun Zhuoyu's back, making a silent threat.

There are four deputy envoys in Jingglu Division, all of whom are first-rate masters.Zhou Xi is one of them.He saw a carriage blocked at the city gate and refused to leave. He frowned and walked up to ask with an overwhelming tone: "What happened?"

When the guard saw him coming, he was startled: "Back to the deputy envoy, this Lord Gongsun wants to go out of the city to do business, but because there is no order from Du Si Gong, his subordinates dare not let him out of the city."

Zhou Xi was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu, but when he saw that it was really him, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "It turns out to be Mr. Gongsun."

Zhou Xi is Wu Yue's junior brother. When Ye Wuhen assassinated Du Lingchun, the masters of the Jinglu Division gathered at the company's mansion. He had met Gongsun Zhuoyu.

Gongsun Zhuoyu had a bad premonition in his mind, but before he could speak, he heard Zhou Xi hesitate and ask, "Sir, do you want to go out?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu wanted to shake his head, but because he was being held hostage, he could only nod his head and coughed twice in embarrassment: "I do want to go out... But if you are in trouble, forget it..."

As soon as he said this, he felt the dagger pressed against his back penetrate a little, causing pain in his kidneys.

Zhou Xi said, "It's not difficult. If you want to go out, your subordinates will naturally not dare to stop you."

Gongsun Zhuoyu stared, thinking why you guys have no principles at all: "Didn't you say that you won't be allowed to leave the city without Du Si's handwriting?!"

Zhou Xi didn't know why he was so excited, and subconsciously took a step back: "Others will naturally ask for instructions, but if Mr. Gongsun wants to go out, there will be no need for these red tapes."

After saying this, he immediately waved his hand and ordered people to open the city gate.

When Gongsun Zhuoyu saw this, he wanted to hit the wall. How could they let him out? How could they let him out?!!

The masked man quietly kicked him through the car curtain, signaling him to leave quickly.

Gongsun Zhuoyu thought to himself that God was really going to kill him. While staring at Zhou Xi with wild hints, he drove the carriage out slowly, sweating so hard that he broke out in a hurry.

Zhou Xi didn't know if he noticed something, but suddenly stepped forward to stop him: "Sir, wait a minute -"

Gongsun Zhuoyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately stopped the carriage: "What's wrong?"

Did he change his mind and not let himself out?

Zhou Xi just asked a routine question: "May I ask what you are going to do when you leave the city? Do you need help from your subordinates?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu silently clenched the fists in his sleeves: "..."

#Ah, so angry#

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhou Xi looked confused: "Sir?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu slowly exhaled and said in a calm tone: "Oh, don't do anything. I heard that a new Chu shop has opened by the river. The girls are all charming. I want to go out to see a prostitute and come back tomorrow."

Zhou Xi was startled when he heard this and couldn't speak properly: "Whoring...whoring?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu nodded calmly: "Yes, it's prostitution."

After saying this, he waved his whip and drove the carriage out of the city.Seeing him leaving, the guard subconsciously looked at Zhou Xi and asked hesitantly: "Deputy envoy, he just left the city without a handwriting. If he turns around to blame others, will something happen?"

Zhou Xi swallowed silently, thinking that of course something would happen, and it would be something big.He frowned and ordered: "Quickly find a few people to report to Mr. Du, saying that Mr. Gongsun went out of the city to visit prostitutes!"

The guard was shocked: "Huh?!"

Zhou Xi tightened his grip on the knife at his waist, gritted his teeth and scolded, "Go quickly!"

Gongsun Zhuoyu drove the carriage out of the city. About a mile later, the masked man appeared from behind the curtain of the carriage.While he tied up Gongsun Zhuoyu with a rope, he sneered: "I really didn't realize that you, an official the size of a sesame seed and a mung bean, have quite a lot of face."

Gongsun Zhuoyu was silent for a long time: "...I didn't expect that I have such a big reputation."

#是什么意思#

The masked man pushed him into the carriage and drove the carriage toward the official road. He turned a corner and drove into the forest road. After about half an hour, he stopped in front of a small farmhouse.

"Come down!"

The masked man pulled Gongsun Zhuoyu down, then looked at Mo Jingxian who was sitting inside, and said pointedly: "Don't you want to see Ye Wuhen? Why don't you hurry in?"

Mo Jingxian stood up subconsciously after hearing this: "Wuhen is in there?!"

The masked man said nothing and pulled Gongsun Zhuoyu into the courtyard. Seeing this, Mo Jingxian had no choice but to follow.

This is an ordinary farmer's family.Pushing open the wooden door, I saw a wooden table in the center of the room. Sitting next to it was a man in civilian clothes. Against the backdrop of the flickering candlelight, his face was thin and bloodless. He looked like he had been taken out of prison.The kidnapped Ye Wuhen.

Seeing this, Mo Jingxian covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes filled with tears. She seemed to want to step forward, but for some reason, her body trembled and she stood there without moving over.

Ye Wuhen limped up and hesitated to speak.

The masked man threw the long sword on the table with a clang, breaking the calm atmosphere: "You have been rescued, please leave quickly to avoid being discovered by the officers and soldiers and chasing after you."

Gongsun Zhuoyu was beside him. Hearing this, he subconsciously said, "Are you in the same group?"

Only then did Ye Wuhen realize the existence of Gongsun Zhuoyu, and looked at the masked man in surprise: "Junior brother, why did you tie him up?!"

The masked man took off his mask and turned out to be a handsome man. He stepped on the bench and said, "If you insist on saving your sweetheart, how can you get out of the city if I don't use him as a hostage?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu tentatively moved his hands, but found that the knot on his wrist could not be untied at all, so he could only give up the struggle: "You have all left the city, you should let me go, right?"

The masked man flipped his wrist, put the long sword against his neck, and said deliberately: "I see that you are in the same group with that Du Lingchun, and you are probably not a good person. I might as well kill you and eliminate harm for the people.".”

"No!" Mo Jingxian heard this and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Master Gongsun is not one of those corrupt officials!"

Ye Wuhen also said: "Junior brother, let him go."

Gongsun Zhuoyu had a sword pressed against his neck, so he couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, the masked man had no choice but to retract his sword: "Look at how nervous you are, I just scared him. If it was really a dog officer, I would have killed him on the way."

Gongsun Zhuoyu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that these two were indeed brothers, with the same temperament.However, before he could say anything, he heard the masked man ask with great interest: "Hey, by the way, how is the investigation of your case going?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu was stunned: "What case?"

The masked man said: "That's the man from Hong Mansion."

Gongsun Zhuoyu's face changed slightly when he heard this: "How do you know?"

After he finished speaking, he quickly reacted and looked at the masked man subconsciously: "Is it possible that that man has something to do with you?!"

The masked man said casually: "Oh, the key to my senior brother's cell is with Mr. Hong. In order to steal it, I once sneaked into his house and found that there was a human wax statue in the Hong Mansion. You just happened to deal with Hong Wentao on the street, so I took the personThe wax has been placed in Jingzhao Mansion, I want to see what you can find out."

It sounded like he was quite proud.

Gongsun Zhuoyu was so angry that his liver ached.He thought it was someone who was so bored, leaving corpses everywhere, so that for a long time it was the one in front of him who had been stabbed a thousand times.He just said that the Hong family tortured their slaves, and even if they had the courage, they would not dare to send them to Jingzhao Mansion to provoke them.

Now the truth is finally revealed.

Although Ye Wuhen didn't know what happened, he could guess that it was his junior brother who caused the trouble. He looked at Gongsun Zhuoyu and was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of rapid horse hooves in the distance.He walked to the window and looked outside, only to see a large group of officers and soldiers coming on horseback and surrounding the small courtyard.

"No! There are officers and soldiers!"

The others also heard the noise and ran to the window one after another. Gongsun Zhuoyu originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos and sneak away, but was caught by the masked man and grabbed him: "Master Gongsun, I'm sorry, you can't leave now."

Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't say anything. He leaned against the door panel and looked out through the gap. He saw that the team was led by Xuanyi guards from Jinglu Division: "How about this? You let me go. I'll go out and tell them to leave on your own."go."

The masked man frowned: "Do you think I'm stupid?"

Gongsun Zhuoyu had already seen the figures of Du Lingchun and Shi Qianqiu outside. He leaned against the door panel, suddenly calmed down, and said to the masked man: "If you hold me hostage, you will never be able to go very far, and your head will be missing.", but if you let me go, I guarantee you won’t lose a hair.”
