The man in Tsing Yi looked at the swill bucket lying on the side of the young man. There was no swill flowing out of the bucket. It was obviously "empty"——
At this time, a carriage came and stopped to check the situation.
"What's the matter?" the coachman jumped out of the pole seat.
At the same time, a figure flashed out of the carriage. Taking the carriage body and the night as a cover, he stepped forward quickly and quickly brought the dark shadow next to the swill bucket onto the carriage.
There was confusion around, and several interested people covered it up, so no one noticed the difference.
"How did you ride a horse?"
"This is the swill transported from the palace. Now I sprinkle these. How do you want me to explain to the master?"
Several men complained about the difficulty.
"Everyone calm down. It's really my fault. The horse has just been tamed for a few days. Somehow he made a wild mistake and bumped into you..."
The men were even more angry.
"If a newly tamed horse dares to ride in the city, it's not afraid --" a man just opened his mouth and saw a few golden leaves suddenly handed to his eyes. His eyes stared, and his tone became reconciled unconsciously, and even there was two points of goodwill Resentment: "... Are not afraid to hurt himself? It's better to change such a strong horse."
"Yes." Xiao Qi, whose eyebrows, eyes and skin color were specially modified, stuffed the golden leaves: "buy you a pot of wine to calm down."
"It's easy to say..." the man smiled brightly, put away the golden leaves and asked in a chatty way: "haven't you asked which childe you are?"
——I don't know where to ride horses on weekdays?
"I'm just an outsider. I'm just visiting the capital." Xiao Qi saluted again. His tone of voice was not serious. He said: "I still have something important to do. It's hard to clean up with you. I have to thank you for your efforts."
"Never mind. Since you have something important, don't delay."
[reading for cash] pay attention to VX public. Number [book club], reading can also get cash!
"I'm leaving now."
Xiao Qi got on his horse and left. Several men gathered together and held the golden leaves happily and opened flowers.
Where is the horse? It's clearly the God of wealth!
"All right, all right, clean up quickly. Let's drink and eat meat!" the man in charge smiled and urged.
Several people quickly put the swill bucket back on the carriage and drove away from here.
The man who had just walked out and was driving at the back suddenly thought of something. He stopped the mule and looked in the direction behind him: "wait... No!"
"What's the matter? Surprised?"
The man pointed to the board behind him. When he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of Horseshoes coming near.
Several people subconsciously looked up.
The sound of horses' hoofs was getting closer and closer. Soon the night broke and came to several people.
After seeing the clothes of those people, several men turned pale.
It's the police guard!
When he was about to pull the mule cart to give way to one side, he saw that the pedestrian was pulling his horse down. The first person drew a knife and walked towards them. He asked coldly, "the swill on the cart is transported from the Xixiao gate today?"
Looking at the long knife shining with cold light, several people were so frightened that their faces turned pale and nodded like mashing garlic.
"We have been responsible for transporting swill for several years. I don't know what you officials do..." the man headed boldly asked.
However, the wanted guard ignored him, went straight to a mule cart, took a long knife and opened the wooden cover of a bucket.
A sour gas rushed to his head. The detective guard frowned and looked into the bucket, but his face changed. As soon as the knife light turned in his hand, the tip of the knife pointed to a man: "why is this bucket empty?! what has been contained in it!"
If you want to load people, you must use an empty bucket!
"This... What was originally loaded here was swill, but it spilled when it accidentally collided with a fierce horse on the way back!" the man's voice was urgent and trembling: "if you don't believe it, you can check it one by one... There's more than this bucket over the car!"
The wanted guard's eyebrows jumped when he heard the speech, turned his head and motioned his men to come forward to check.
The lid of one swill bucket was removed. It can be seen that many are empty, and some are only half a bucket.
"When and where did they collide? Did Marco have a master?"
The man was so frightened that he sweated: "it's in Yongqin Lane behind the vegetable market entrance... The man said he came from other places! Dare you ask the official, what's the matter?"
The line of sight of the arrest guard scanned several men and looked at them coldly: "today, an assassin hid in a swill bucket and got out of the palace. Don't you notice any difference!"
These people carry swill for the palace all year round, or there are people who don't know, but it's impossible to say that there is no cooperation among them!
"Assassin, assassin?!"
"This... How is this possible!"
"I... officer, I think of a suspicious person!" the man who stopped to talk before changed his face and swallowed his saliva nervously.
"Say!"
The man said, "there is a stranger with us today. It was said that he came from a foreign country and wanted to find a job. The owner saw that he was honest and reliable... It happened that one of us was ill recently and lacked a person to carry with the car, so the owner asked him to go with us!"
As soon as he said this, the other three men subconsciously looked around.
Yes, there are more young people surnamed Guo with them today!
Wait -- where are the people?
What about the young man!
"We must have run away with the man on the horse just now when we didn't pay attention! They must be in a group!" a man was surprised - good guy, today's assassins are so rich. What's wrong with this family!
The arrest guard clenched his teeth.
Still a step late!
"In which direction did they escape!"
"From Yongqin lane to the East!"
"Deng Jiu, take two people to stay, watch them first, and others follow me!" the wanted guard finally glanced at several men before he got on his horse: "if anyone dares to spread half a word about tonight, be careful of your head!"
……
Near the curfew, the Xuesheng teahouse in Chengnan lane has closed its doors and no longer welcomes guests.
At this time, a green curtain carriage stopped slowly at the back door of the teahouse.
A servant girl jumped out of the car and knocked on the back door of the teahouse.
Then, a girl in a bright blue embroidered brandy thin silk shirt and a moonlight woven gold skirt stepped out of the carriage.
With the "squeak" sound, the door quickly opened a slit. Half of his head poked out of the slit. When he saw who the girl standing under the moonlight was, Shouming pushed the door open, smiled and said in a low voice, "Miss Xu, please come in."
Xu Mingyi took ah Zhu into the teahouse.
"The childe hasn't arrived yet, but someone has brought him back. Do you want to see Miss Xu first?" Shouming asked in a low voice.
