Chapter 245 Yu Liang
Jixiang gave a wink to the gatekeeper, who understood and took two steps back.
Jixiang held the door with one hand and opened the small door on the side of the city gate a crack. She was wearing the men's clothes of a county yamen runner, and her face was not clear under the moonlight. After the door was opened, she looked at the people outside with a critical look.
"Are you all in the same group?"
The man who answered the phone was a man in his thirties, with a handsome face. He nodded immediately after hearing what was said, "I hope you can help me, sir. It's so cold, please let us in quickly. We are really freezing to death."
Someone behind him said, "I've never heard of anyone not being allowed to return home."
The man who answered the question immediately smiled and said, "Don't be upset, sir. We have been traveling for a long time and are tired. We are looking forward to returning home. We didn't expect to see such a situation when we arrived at our doorstep. Although our county town also closed the gates at night before, it was not so strict. People outside could stop us, but people in the county town would not stop us."
Jixiang glanced at the people behind him and said, "Don't you know that there are bandits around?"
As she spoke, she opened the door a little more and said, "Well, come in, I'll take you around Tankang. If it's really as you said, I'll let the others go."
When the man heard this, he immediately stuffed silver into Jixiang's pocket and said, "General, look at us..."
He took out another silver ingot and stuffed .
Jixiang glanced down, then promptly put the silver ingot back into his sleeve and opened the door.
The man was delighted and immediately said, "Thank you, General. Thank you, General ."
As he said this, he called the people behind him to come in.
Jixiang, however, blocked the door with one arm.
"Only you and your boss are allowed to go in. The others wait outside."
Those who were happy to enter the door were stopped. No one expected that it would be so difficult to enter the door. Someone was about to get angry, but that person turned around, glanced at everyone, then turned around and took out another piece of silver.
Jixiang received it as expected, but he didn't let it go.
"Brother, don't blame me for not being flexible. I allowed two people in because we are destined to be together. Two at most. Otherwise, I will have a hard time explaining myself if they investigate. You know, our Lord Zhao is not easy to deal with."
As she spoke, she gestured to the yamen runners with her hands behind her back.
The bailiff immediately said, "What's going on? The order from the Lord is to close the city gates and not let anyone in. Why are you arguing with them? Close the gates immediately!"
Jixiang looked at the people outside and said, "Are you going to come in or not? If you don't come in, you really won't have a chance."
The man originally wanted to give some more silver to negotiate, but was interrupted like this. He had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, sir."
As he spoke, he turned his body to one side and respectfully bowed to an old man behind him, "Master, I will accompany you inside."
Just now, the old man was blocked tightly, and Jixiang couldn't see what he looked like after looking at him several times. Now that his face was revealed, it was not a familiar face.
Jixiang gestured behind him and urged, "Hurry up, the patrol will come soon and no one will be able to escape."
As she spoke, she pulled the man who had spoken to her into the city gate. The man staggered and quickly glanced at the situation inside the city gate. Seeing that there were indeed only three or four yamen runners guarding the gate, and these yamen runners did not look strong and healthy, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to meet the old man.
Crunch.
The door was closed again.
Jixiang urged, "Hurry up, go and ask Tandang clearly, go quickly."
As he spoke, before the two people in front of him could react, Jixiang suddenly raised his hand and slapped down.
Bang!
One person was hit on the back of the neck.
By the time the man in his thirties reacted quickly and keenly to realize that he might have fallen into a trap, he had already been knocked down by Jixiang's palm.
Sacks had been prepared nearby, and Jixiang ordered someone to put the two of them in and send them to Rongque.
On the city gate tower.
After everyone left, Jixiang quickly went up and hid in the dark to observe the reactions of those people outside.
The reason why she acted like this was because she was not sure about the Kung Fu strength of the people outside and was afraid that the situation would become awkward. However, these people were highly skilled in Kung Fu, so they would not be able to stop them from breaking into the city wall.
Since the other party wanted to pull a piece of fig leaf to cover it up, she naturally went along with it.
Rong Que was resting in a shop not far from the city gate.
This shop was originally a tea shop. Due to the defense of the city gate, the county government paid the shop owner a month's tea fee and rented the shop for people here to rest temporarily.
Hearing the noise outside, Rong Que, who was not asleep to begin with, got up and came out.
"What's up."
The escort shook the man out of the sack.
The old man was still unconscious, but the man in his thirties had already woken up. When he saw Rong Que, his pupils trembled.
Rong Que suddenly raised his eyebrows, with an unexpected smile in the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't expect to see you here."
The man looked at Rong Que in shock, all the muscles in his body trembling, fear rising from the bottom of his heart with uncontrollable horror.
Rong Que rubbed his chin with the tip of his thumb.
"Why? You look...surprised?"
The man trembled violently.
Rong Que took a step forward.
"Marquis Rong'an sent you here? Marquis Rong'an already knew that the prince and the Crown Princess were resting here, so why did he send someone as blind as you in here? To come in specifically to deliver intelligence to the prince?"
The man said nothing, but the bailiff standing behind Rong Que clearly heard the sound of his teeth chattering.
"I haven't seen you for a while. I hope you are doing well, my great steward Yu!"
As he spoke, Rong Que suddenly stepped forward and slashed at the face of the man in front of him.
Rong Que peeled off the beautiful face, revealing Yu Liang's face, which was originally in his forties or fifties.
Yu Liang.
The former housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion.
Rong Que once thought that he was the Queen Mother's man. Later, Su Qingqing found some clues in the account book and suspected that he was the Third Prince's man. However, after Yu Liang was driven out of the Prince's Mansion, Rong Que discovered that this person had an intersection with the eldest son of the Rong'an Marquis' Mansion.
Who could have thought that such a person employed by the Queen Mother and the Third Prince was actually Marquis Rong'an's man!
"Why? After being driven out of the palace by me, you went to Qibei to recruit soldiers for Rong'an Hou. Are you thinking of returning to the capital for revenge?"
Yu Liang had served the prince for quite some time, and although this prince looked harmless, he was actually deeply afraid of him from beginning to end.
Trembling, "You...you...how did you know that it was me..."
Rong Que suddenly laughed.
"That scar on your neck was caused by the Crown Princess whipping you, right? Why didn't you cover up the scar when you changed your face? Or do you think I can't recognize you at all?
Then you are careless!
Why can't you think that, with my love for the princess, let alone if she leaves a scar on you, even if she leaves a scar on an ant, I can catch the ant from its nest."
The guard next to him: ...
I suspect you are showing off your affection.
But, is this the right time?
