Chapter 481

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng embarked on the journey to the North together, but Yuan Tang, who was trapped in the capital, was not so lucky. He could neither get the imperial edict of the emperor of Zhao nor follow the secret path of the north gate. Several attempts to follow the caravan to get out of the city failed.

With the escalation of the frontier war, more and more bad news came back to the imperial court, and the emperor's indignation against Yuantang became more and more intense. From the past few days, even the Imperial Palace experts were ordered by the emperor to arrest Yuantang.

Only last night, Yuantang encountered three waves of experts, which led him to lose contact with his subordinates. Just before dawn, he finally broke out of the siege, but he also paid a tragic price.

His right arm was cut off. If he meets a master of internal medicine again, he doesn't guarantee that he can get away with it.

"He's hurt. He can't go far. You guys, go there. The rest of you follow me!"

Yuan Tang covers his right arm and hides in a family's stable. Listening to the voice of the experts outside the courtyard, he can't help showing a bit of irritability and despair.

He is the sixth Prince of the state of Chen. The empress has passed away, and the harem belongs to his mother's concubine. After his mother's concubine is the same deputy, his grandfather's family is the Rong family with military power. He is the most respected Prince of the state of Chen. He has hardly suffered from any hardship since he was born.

Even when he came to Zhaoguo as a prime minister, he just wanted to take credit and become the prince.

Thanks to his uncle, the prince of Bo, he ate all the pain of his 20 years of birth these days.

"Sizzle"

The wound hurt again.

Yuan Tang frowned.

Just at this moment, the servant of the house came. In the stable, he suddenly saw a strange man in a mess with blood dripping on his arm. Instinctively, the servant screamed: "ah --"

Yuan Tang stabbed him with a knife.

But the sound came out, and the guards came towards the stable.

Yuan Tang had to leave again to find his next hiding place.

The front and back were all guards, and the right side was dead. There was only a carriage parked on the left side. Yuantang had no choice but to hide in!

The carriage didn't look big, but it was spacious and particular. The stool was covered with a cloth. He lifted the cloth and waited for his tall body.

Such a narrow space, can really give up to him this big man.

"Lord Xiao, please walk slowly!"

In the study beside the carriage, the boss himself sent Xiao Heng out.

"Please stay." Xiao Heng nodded, said to the boss, turned and got on the carriage parked at the side of the road.

The coachman came out of the study with a large number of four treasures.

Xiao Heng just received a transfer order from the Ministry of officials this morning, appointing him as the writ order from the Ministry of five grades of punishment.

The writ is mainly responsible for filing, managing the official seal and drafting documents.

His official position in the Imperial Academy has not changed, but he also serves as a bookmaker.

This is the idea of the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment. As early as last month, it was submitted to the Ministry of officials. The position of the six departments is different from that of the Hanlin academy, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the cabinet. After receiving the documents from the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, the Ministry of officials first conducted an internal audit, and then submitted them to the emperor for inspection.

It is very rare for an official to hold several posts, especially for an inter departmental one. The requirement for an official is very high. No matter in strength, energy or quality, he must be much better than his colleagues.

The emperor was worried about Xiao LIULANG's health and that he would be pushed out of the limelight.

The emperor called the old sacrificial wine into the palace and asked his opinion. The old sacrificial wine had never thought of this before, but now someone has set a precedent. He is eager to send Xiao Heng to a high position.

"It's time to employ people. Your majesty might as well let Xiao LIULANG have a try first. If you can't take care of them, you can make another plan."

The emperor felt that what he said was reasonable, so he approved Xiao LIULANG's official position.

As soon as Xiao Heng finished reporting to the Ministry of punishment, he was about to return to the Imperial Academy. When he passed by the study, he remembered that there was not much ink at home, so he stopped the carriage and bought some.

As soon as he got into the carriage, he noticed something wrong.

The curtain of the carriage was open, and the carriage was very ventilated. However, he still smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Lord Xiao, I put the things here." The coachman put a large box of the four treasures of the study on the floor of the carriage. He was not as sensitive as Xiao Heng. He didn't find anything unusual. "Is it time to go back to the Imperial Academy now? Do you want to buy anything else? "

"No Xiao Heng said.

"Well, I'll go out." The coachman put down the curtain and sat back on the bench outside.

Xiao Heng didn't sit down in a hurry. Instead, he looked warily at the bench covered with brocade cloth.

Under the bench, Yuan Tang clenched his wound, and his forehead was slightly sweating due to tension and pain.

He didn't know whose carriage it was. However, he heard the coachman call Mr. Xiao and ask if he wanted to go to the Imperial Academy. There was only one official surnamed Xiao in the Imperial Academy, Xiao LIULANG, the Prime Minister of doctor Gu.

Yuantang and Xiao LIULANG did not meet each other formally. They only met several times from afar. They knew that he was the Prime Minister of doctor Gu, the new champion of science, and now he is in the Hanlin Academy.

As for whether Xiao Heng knows him or not, Yuan Tang is not sure.

But if you really see what he looks like at this time, Xiao LIULANG should be able to guess who he is even if he doesn't know him.

Whether Xiao LIULANG is an enemy or a friend, Yuan Tang doesn't dare to draw a conclusion easily. Although he is Gu Jiao's prime minister, he is also an official of the imperial court. If he is an official of the imperial court, he has to arrest himself.

Yuan Tang bites his lips to keep from making a sound.

He didn't mean to hurt Gu Jiao's family, but if... He said if, he really wanted to catch him, he had to offend him!

"Whose carriage is ahead?"

A group of guards stopped opposite the carriage and asked the commander.

They just chased all the way, will be surrounded, but Yuan Tang that boy seems to have disappeared.

They speculate that Yuantang must be hiding under their noses, either in a nearby shop or in a passing carriage.

Xiao Heng looks at the bloodstain flowing out slowly under the bench. His eyes move slightly. He turns around and walks forward. He lifts his clothes and sits down. His right foot happens to step on the bloodstain flowing out.

The coachman negotiated with the guards, opened the curtain a little, and said to Xiao Heng, "Mr. Xiao, the guards say they are arresting Chen proton, hoping to search our carriage."

Xiao Heng raised his hand and gave him a gesture to lift the curtain.

The coachman leaned over and lifted the curtain to the maximum so that the guards could see the carriage clearly.

Xiao Heng sat upright in the carriage, his appearance was young and handsome, but his air was very strong. His eyes showed a kind of arrogance: "how many adults do you need to come up and search carefully?"

The commander was surprised by Xiao LIULANG's appearance and aura. He was stunned for a long time before he came back to himself. He realized that he had lost his manners. He bowed his head in a panic and bowed his hand to salute: "no need! I hope you'll forgive me if you've seen clearly and disturbed Mr. Xiao! "

Xiao Heng is a man valued by the emperor and the Empress Dowager at the same time. The commander has eight guts and dare not offend him easily. What's more, he just stares at others, which is very impolite.

"No harm." Xiao Heng said.

The commander said politely, "the little ones will continue to look for people. Mr. Xiao will leave."

Xiao Heng nodded: "goodbye."

The commander planned to take the rest of the guards to search the shops nearby. As soon as he turned around, he heard something dripping on the ground. It was very quiet, but there were not many people in the street and it was quiet all around.

Yuantang suddenly changes color!

His blood dripped down a crack in the floor!

It's over!

He's going to be found!

"What are you doing?" Xiao Heng said harshly to the coachman, "how long do you want my official to bleed? Go to the doctor's

The driver was stunned.

Is the adult injured?

When?

Xiao Heng's gas field was so strong that the driver didn't have the courage to ask him what was wrong. He put down the curtain and said, "yes! Yes! I'll go to the doctor's

At the moment before the curtain was put down, the commander saw that there was blood under Xiao LIULANG's right foot.

So is it really Lord Xiao who is injured?

The commander's brow was wrinkled. He was a little suspicious, but he was afraid of Xiao LIULANG's identity. At the same time, he didn't think Xiao LIULANG would lie. In the end, he didn't go up to check.

The coachman drove the carriage towards the nearest hospital, but suddenly he heard Lord Xiao in the carriage say: "no, go to the hospital. Go to the north gate."

"Ah?" The coachman was stunned again. "Master Xiao, aren't you hurt? The hospital is coming. "

"I remember that there's gold sore medicine on the carriage. I'll just apply some ointment myself."

"Well, well." The coachman was at a loss. He didn't understand how the adult turned so fast. "Is the adult going to the north gate?"

Xiao Heng tone as usual way: "originally intended to go in the afternoon, think about it, or now go."

"All right." The coachman's status is humble, and he doesn't dare to interfere with Xiao Heng's official business. He drives the carriage to the north gate.

Xiao Hengliang issued a token from the Ministry of punishment: "investigation."

The city guards let us go.

Xiao Heng went to the nearest post station outside the north gate.

"You feed the horses." He told the coachman.

"Yes."

The coachman took off the reins and shaft and took the horse to the stable of the post station.

Xiao Heng went to the carriage with a light look.

He sat in the post station for a quarter of an hour before returning to the carriage. At this time, there was no Yuantang breath in the carriage.

The coachman came up with a full horse: "my Lord!"

Xiao Heng light way: "return to Beijing."
