Chapter 190 Escape

At night and in the heavy snow, Bai Li was no longer so lively. Her hair was scattered and her white clothes were stained with dust.

The apricot tree, the mountain fire, and the person who led her horse are all left in yesterday. There will be no surprises tomorrow. When she looks up again, there is no need for light in her eyes.

Han Tong stood on the mast and looked at Bai Li from a distance without saying a word for a long time. He did not expect that the Secret Service would use Bai Li to threaten him. Who betrayed him?

Yunyang held a torch and illuminated Bai Li's face with the firelight so that Han Tong could see more clearly: "Sect Master Han, in the spring of the 24th year of Jianing, you secretly appeared outside the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion and saw the princess.

Leave at a glance; Shangyuan Festival in the 25th year of Jianing

, you secretly waited in the Chenghuang Temple, took one look at the princess and left; in the twenty-sixth year of Jianing... you looked at the princess a total of twelve times, seven of which were on the day of the princess's birthday, and five were on the day of Shangyuan.

Festival, Double Ninth Festival, why do you think this is?"

Han Tong's pupils shrank. He thought that his whereabouts were very secretive when he went to visit Bai Li, but he didn't expect that he would still fall into the eyes of others.

This meant that someone had betrayed him. Even Ayun didn't know when he secretly visited Bai Li, and it was even less likely that the kid who plotted against him tonight knew.

Yunyang looked at Han Tong with a smile but not a smile. The swaying torch illuminated his face, which was half bright and half dark, making him look particularly ferocious: "Master Han, my secret agent monitors the world, and all the evil spirits and monsters can't escape. We are waiting for you.

It's only a matter of time before we bring you to justice, so why don't we make a deal now and save the princess's life."

After hearing Yunyang's words, Bai Li looked up in confusion at Han Tong on the tall mast. She told Chen Ji that this man had secretly watched her four or five times, which was the number of times she had ever discovered him.

And in a corner that she hadn't noticed, the other party had secretly visited her so many times.

Han Tong stood tall and straight on the mast and asked from afar: "Tell me, how can I save him?"

Yunyang smiled and said: "Sect Master Han, your life is exchanged for the life of the princess."

Han Tong was silent for a long time: "Do you think I would be so stupid? I have nothing to do with her. Did your Secret Service make something wrong?"

The next moment, Jiaotu pulled out the short knife from his sleeve and cut a gash on Bai Li's thigh. The blood immediately stained his trouser legs.

But Bai Li's expression did not change, he just looked at the river blankly, as if he could no longer feel the pain.

Han Tong moved slightly, but stopped.

Jiaotu turned to look at Han Tong: "Come down and change people. You come with us. Our Secret Intelligence Department allows your people to send her away."

The golden pig glanced at the two people's backs coldly. He knew that these two people were lying again. Even if they were in the Chinese zodiac, they did not have the power to let go of the princess, not even the internal minister.

He looked at Han Tong, not sure whether Han Tong would be captured without hesitation, and then looked at the wound on Bai Li's leg.

But he saw the white rabbit swiping the knife to cut Bai Li's arm again. When the knife was about to fall, the golden pig caught his wrist.

Golden Pig said with a gloomy face: "That's almost enough. After all, the princess is a member of the royal family. Your Majesty hasn't said yet whether to kill them or not. Don't make your own decisions."

The White Rabbit glanced at him sideways: "Are you thinking too much?"

The Golden Pig sneered: "I just think you might be stupid and lose your place in the zodiac and lose your life, so I kindly remind you."

Jiaotu snorted and slowly sheathed the knife.

Yunyang looked at Han Tong again and said loudly: "Sect Master Han, do you really not want to live in exchange for the princess?"

However, Han Tong just looked at Bai Li quietly for a long time. When he saw the wound on Bai Li's leg and his stubborn and silent expression, he immediately dug his nails into his palms and blood oozed out.

But in the end, he did not exchange his life for his life. He only said solemnly: "Do you think I will be so stupid? There is no such thing as exchanging lives, it is just to die together. What the Secret Service did today will definitely be rewarded in the future."

After that, he glanced at Bai Li again, turned around, jumped into the cold river water and disappeared.

Yunyang and White Rabbit were stunned, while Bai Li lowered his head slightly.

The golden pig said to the white rabbit: "Why don't you help the princess bandage the wound quickly? Whose idea is this? What relationship can the princess have with Han Tong?"

Yunyang looked back coldly: "If it didn't matter, how could he secretly visit the princess so many times? Do you believe it when he says they don't have anything to do with it?"

Jin Zhu retorted: "Who is Han Tong? He is a big lord who has dominated the world for many years. He has countless gangs under him. How can he lose his life because of a momentary emotion?"

Yunyang sneered: "Someone just kidnapped the prison and took away the prince. I don't know where he hid him. You also saw that Han Tong just secretly summoned the clipper. He clearly wanted to send someone away. Presumably it was the prince he wanted to send away."

Bai Li turned to look at Yunyang, prison robbery? Crown Prince? Who did it?

An answer came to her mind, just like the answer that came to her subconsciously every time. But she was sure of it before, but now she denied it.

Jin Zhu pretended to be confused and said: "Han Tong just summoned a ship, is this related to the crown prince?"

Yunyang glanced at him sideways: "We'll find out later."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for Zhang Zhuo, Lord Zhang."

…

…

The road was slippery due to heavy snow, and Luocheng government soldiers escorted the grain and grass to the dock with curses. Everyone's ears and hands were red from the cold, and their toes were freezing.

Someone complained in a low voice: "It's snowing so heavily. It would be great if I could go home for a few drinks and warm up on the bed with my wife and children in my arms. Why did the prefect have to transport food today?"

"Yes, it's snowing so heavily. Why don't we wait until the snow stops and we still have to take such a long detour!"

"Stop talking, the pier is right in front. Finish your errands and go home to sleep... Keep your voice down, the prefect is here."

Next to the grain team, the prefect was riding on a horse in a red official robe. He had a red fox fur cloak on his shoulders and held a copper stove in his hand. He looked worriedly at the brightly lit pier in front of him, always feeling that something was not right.

.

Zhang Zhuo thought for a moment: "Wait a minute, stop the food and grass!"

The soldiers turned around in confusion and could only stop all the bullock carts.

Zhang Zhuo waved his hand: "There is no food transportation today. Let's transport the grain and grass back to the granary!"

The soldiers suddenly exploded, and the general said loudly: "Sir, we have walked to this time since the evening, and we are about to arrive at the dock. Why are we out of luck?"

Zhang Zhuo looked at him coldly: "How about you become the fifth-grade prefect?"

The government soldier shrank his neck and said, "You talk too much in a humble position."

Zhang Zhuo waved his hand: "Let's go!"

However, at this moment, laughter came from the roof: "Master Zhang, where are you going?"

Zhang Zhuo suddenly raised his head and saw Yunyang and Jiaotu standing on the eaves beside the road, looking down at the long grain transport team.

While he was talking, countless Jiefanwei emerged from the alley near the grain team, holding swords on their waists, and surrounded the grain team!

The soldiers wanted to draw their swords and confront each other, but Yun Yang said casually: "There are not many people who dare to draw their swords in front of my secret agent."

Fu Bing's expression froze, and he let go of his hand.

Zhang Zhuo said in a deep voice: "What, you guys want to rob our grain team? Even the Secret Service cannot interfere with the transportation of official grain at will! Article 7 of the 18th volume of the Daning Law states that anyone who interferes with or steals tax grain escorts

Those with fifteen or more guans will be given a hundred sticks and the five characters 'stealing officials' money and food' pierced with them, and they will be sent to three thousand li!"

Yunyang smiled and said: "I know that Lord Zhang can memorize Daning's laws by heart, so there is no need to take them out casually to scare people. We have also received news that your Lord's grain team may be harboring suspects. Lord Zhang, since you

If you memorize the law, do you know what is the crime of harboring rebellion?"

The White Rabbit sat on the eaves and asked with a smile: "Master Zhang, if you protect someone who rebels against the party, will he also be executed?"

Zhang Zhuo stared at Yunyang coldly: "You said that I harbored rebellion, what evidence is there?"

Yunyang smiled and said: "It's simple. Let's search the food team and we'll know. Let's do it!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Zhuo glanced at the grain cart nervously, raised his right hand high, and stopped trying to understand the guards: "This is the official grain of the imperial court. Who dares to do anything rashly?"

Yunyang raised his eyebrows: "Why, Mr. Zhang won't shed tears until he sees the coffin?"

After that, he took out the King's Order Flag from his arms and said, "Master Zhang, does he know what this is? I, the secret agent, hold the King's Order Flag, and I can patrol the hunt on behalf of the sky. I will kill first and then report!"

Zhang Zhuo said in a deep voice: "It's true that you are holding the royal flag, but you can't act recklessly. I remember that you two just made a big mistake a while ago. If you make another mistake this time, I wonder if you will lose your position in the zodiac."

?”

Yun Yang and Jing Hao looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.

They are not afraid of any involvement between the officials and the civil servants, but the internal minister never gives people a chance to make a third mistake.

Seeing that there was a turning point, Zhang Zhuo hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "You two are holding the king's order flag, so you can search the grain truck. But if you can't find anything, I will go to the imperial palace and wait for you. It's about time."

I'm afraid you two won't be able to keep your status as fourth-rank officials!"

Jiaotu covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, why are you so nervous to threaten us two? The more you threaten us, the more I feel that there are criminals hiding in the grain team. Master Zhang, you are self-defeating."

Yunyang waved his hand to Jie Fanwei: "Search!"

Jie Fanwei directed the soldiers to unload the bags of grain from the cart and pile them in the snow.

Just as time passed, all the grain trucks were unloaded cleanly, and no one was seen hiding in the trucks.

Yunyang paced back and forth on the eaves impatiently. He shouted loudly: "See if there is anyone hiding in the sack!"

Jie Fanwei pulled out his waist knife and pierced the grain bag. When Jiaotu turned his head, he suddenly saw a sarcastic sneer on Zhang Zhuo's mouth. He suddenly felt something was wrong: "Wait a minute, don't stab the grain bag again. The grain and grass sack is so big, it can't be hidden at all."

No one!"

But now it was too late to give the order. More than twenty bags of grain had been punctured, and the grain flowed out and scattered on the ground.

Zhang Zhuo laughed, stroked his beard and said, "You two, are there any criminals in the food and grass?"
