Chapter 70: Escape
It was dim and the carriage was walking quickly in the empty street market. It didn't take long to arrive at the city gate.
At this time, some people who were eager to leave the city lined up in long queues as usual, but as the family of the county magistrate, they were naturally privileged.
Li Dalang was familiar with the car and rushed towards him, and sent someone to hold his waist and swaying.
It was light and the sight was unclear, but there were lanterns on both sides of the carriage, so you could see each other's faces clearly.
The messenger saw clearly that the person who came was Mrs. Zhou's wife's mother's biological son, and immediately smiled.
"It turned out to be Li Dalangjun," he bowed slightly.
Li Dalang nodded and glanced at the number of people around the city gate, "Why are they all coming out?"
The police officer didn't know where he said, "After the order of the Lord, the whole city will arrest bandits."
When Li Dalang went out, he was told to keep a low profile this time, so he smiled and greeted him a few words and put aside the topic.
The messenger had his own affairs and knew that the car was not a troublemaker, so he turned around and left.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sky gradually became brighter, and everyone picked up their own things and prepared to leave the city.
The city gate was coated with a brilliant golden light by the first ray of sunlight from the clouds.
The police stationed on both sides of the city gate and shouted loudly: "Sir, please close the city gate immediately."
When talking, the people sent people to jump into the crowd quickly.
But the policeman's words had caused an uproar.
Everyone stood here and waited for at least half an hour. They couldn't open the door and couldn't open it. How could everyone obey?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Yuan Baoer hurriedly shrank to the corner, watching the police push and shoving everyone, causing chaos at the city gate.
The horses became uneasy as a result.
Seeing that his horse was also in a turmoil, Li Dalang shouted and drove the car aside. Without waiting for action, someone came over.
Li Dalang fixed his eyes and saw that it was Han Ling, so he jumped out of the car.
The two of them talked softly, and Han Ling came to the window.
Zhou Lichan poked her head out and looked at her uncle Muru.
Han Ling looked at her with a smile and said warmly: "If you go to my uncle's house, you must be well-behaved and obedient, and take good care of your younger brother."
Zhou Lichan was too young to understand what he meant in his eyes, so he just nodded obediently.
Han Ling looked at the riotous city gate and said, "I will protect you from here."
Li Dalang immediately thanked.
Han Ling waved his hands and led the way forward.
Someone rushed over from a distance, "Sir, there is something wrong with the East City Gate, the boss asks for reinforcements."
Han Ling paused, looked at the car, and ordered the man who came to report the news to protect the car and leave the city.
He called out to other policemen, jumped onto the horse, and tugged his back, then left.
Zhou Lichan looked at his back reluctantly, but Madam Li was worried that too many people would see her and hurriedly pulled her in.
What Yuan Baoer feared most was Han Ling, who had been together for a long time. If he was not here, her courage would suddenly become stronger.
At this time, the city gate was not enough to control the people who were out of control due to the reduction of the number of people.
Yuan Baoer hurried behind the carriage. Seeing the city gate open because of them, he shouted in a loud voice, "Why can they go out?"
"We must go out too," said the county magistrate.
Before he finished speaking, someone shouted, and the sounds were all provocative.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were all focused on the car that still had half a carriage that couldn't get out.
Everyone was immediately excited.
Everyone was crowding the city gate desperately.
At this time, at least a few hundred people gathered here, how can we stop them with just a few policemen?
Soon, the city gate was crowded out by everyone. In just a few breaths, everyone who blocked the city here escaped.
The messengers knew that it was a disaster, and everyone kept silent and closed the city gate.
Han Ling hurried to the city gate where the person sent to report. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered that the person was a little embarrassed.
He suddenly tied the reins and hurried back. Looking at the closed city gate and orderly inspection, Han Ling knew that he had fallen into a trap.
However, even if you know it, it is too late.
He called the city guard and asked about the passing.
He stood with a frown on his face for a while and headed straight to the county government.
Zhou Chengru was in the main hall, and as soon as he came in, he saw it.
"Sir," Han Ling bowed on one knee and whispered: "My subordinates have neglected their duties and have failed their trust."
Zhou Chengru staggered backwards and sat in the chair with some slight urgency.
After a long time, he waved his hand and whispered: "Forget it," he stared at the letters at hand for a long time before he pinched and handed them to Han Ling.
"Send them out."
Han Ling took it and saw that it was several names of aristocratic families, and was shocked.
"Sir, if they know this, I'm afraid my life will be difficult to protect."
Zhou Chengru laughed, "Can you protect now?"
He stared at Han Ling and did not move.
Han Ling's scalp was numb, but he didn't dare to move.
Zhou Chengru gritted his teeth, "This matter was not done by me alone, and there was no reason for me alone to bear it."
Han Ling lowered his head and said nothing.
I don’t know how many dirty tricks there are in those big families. If they really get to the point of being in a stalemate, they are afraid that not only the master, but even Chan'er will be affected.
Zhou Chengru took out the booklet from his arms and handed it over, "After delivering the letter, you will take this and leave."
Han Ling has done a lot of things for him over the years and knows that Zhou Chengru has a problem with keeping accounts, and what he handed over to him at this time was the booklet.
Han Ling lowered his head a little more and didn't answer.
Zhou Chengru did not force himself, and only put the booklet on the table. "The things in the mountains are too big. If those people cannot suppress them, once they are heard by Your Majesty, neither those people nor Your Majesty will let us live."
"Chan'er and Jin'er are still young, and the uncle is alone, so they may not be well protected."
He looked at Han Ling, "This booklet records in detail the transactions between Fan Lu and me over the years, as well as the number of mountains. Please take it. If there is really a case, you can use it to find Jinxiu Pavilion in Dongcheng and search for Madam Hong, which may save the lives of the two children."
What Han Ling valued most was Zhou Lichan. When he heard this, he brought the booklet over.
"Don't get close to the two children after you leave," Zhou Chengru said: "Those people have many means, don't take their way."
Han Ling deeply agreed. Isn’t he just obeying the words of Xiaolangjun Wei this time?
He gave a solemn gift and quickly left with the letter.
On the other side, Yuan Baoer followed the police straight to the capital.
This place is not very far from the capital, but a few people have no means of transportation and can only rely on their legs.
Yuan Baoer has never been a slutty person. She walked steadily all the way, and even the toes and heels were so hot that they felt so painful that they didn't say a word.
Several people walked wildly, and after noon, they felt the capital.
The police subconsciously wanted to go to the Ministry of Revenue, so Yuan Baoer naturally followed.
The head of the Ministry of Revenue happened to come back from outside and saw that the three of them were so embarrassed, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
The two men told a short story and explained the situation.
