Chapter 1147: Reward for Arrest
Yanzhou City has been closed since the afternoon, and there are officers and soldiers blocking the four gates, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering and leaving.
Some well-informed rich gentry have heard that Dongchang ordered the arrest of thieves, and the bigwigs in the official office knew from King Lu that a big man in Dongchang was stabbed in the city, and if it is not handled properly, I am afraid that the officialdom of the entire Yanzhou Mansion will be implicated.
Although Zhu Yihai didn't say who the big man was, those big guys also knew the seriousness of the matter, Dongchang was not a good stubble, and it was not a general thing to be called a big man by a vassal king, and the consequences could affect the officialdom of the first house, and this person had basically surfaced.
But which of the officialdom bosses is not an old fritter, even if he guesses who it is, since the other party did not take the initiative to reveal his identity, he pretends not to know, so that even if he settles accounts after the autumn, he can find an excuse to get out.
But the immediate priority is to properly handle the matter.
How to deal with it properly?
Of course, it was to arrest the thief with all his might.
Even the governor and the prefect personally led the team to command, and the people below did not dare to follow the process.
Soon, Wan Huhou's heart was discovered, and under the attack of Qiao Sanxiu and Wu Zhong, one was killed and one was injured.
But the blood bat that came and went without a shadow was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no trace of it.
In the northwest corner of the city, the officers and soldiers patrolling the city found that there was a rope on the battlements outside the city, and there were still some blood stains on the ground, so they quickly reported it and quickly sent the news to the palace.
Chang Yu listened to what he said, and glanced at Wu Zhong expressionlessly: "Do you think he is gone or is he suspicious?" ”
"With his cunning, he can't guess it" Wu Zhong shook his head with a wry smile.
Guo Ren was puzzled: "The pursuit in the city is so tight, he is naturally out of the city with a rope, so he won't have to run to the city to tie a rope and then sneak back and hide."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Wu Zhong sneered: "If this is the case, the blood bat will not be called one of the most difficult villains in the rivers and lakes" and said with a slight pause: "Although he is injured, it has been several hours since this time, and he should have stopped the bleeding and bandaged it a long time ago, how could it happen that the blood collapsed again when he went out?" The weather is hot, there are injuries on the body, hiding in the wilderness, where is there comfort in the city."
"Are you saying that he was suspicious and made us think that he had escaped from the city and let down our guard to stop arresting him, while he was still hiding somewhere in the city?" Guo Ren frowned.
"I can only say that it is possible, and you also said that this is a suspicious formation, so that none of us know if he is out of the city or not."
"That's easy to do, just go to the city to see if there are any footprints to know if he is out of the city" Zhu Yihai interjected, Wu Zhong shook his head: "Don't look at it, there must be!" ”
Zhu Yihai was stunned: "Since there is, isn't it enough to prove that he is out of the city......"
"The night bat is first-class, he can go out of the city with a rope, and naturally he can return the same way" Wu Zhong shook his head: "Now except for himself, no one can guess whether he is out or the cat is in a corner of the city" said and pointed to the door: "Maybe it's in this palace."
Zhu Yihai looked at the dark night sky and couldn't help but stir his spirit.
"No matter where he is now, he is a lost dog, and he can only hide in the dark to be afraid of the street rats" Chang Yu snorted coldly: "And our family can sleep comfortably."
The night was very deep, the entire Yanzhou Mansion was sleeping, and the sound of frogs in the pond in the palace was noisy, which made Chang Yu extremely bored because of the pain of the wound, but he couldn't sleep because of the pain of the wound, and he didn't sleep as he said.
It wasn't until the sky was getting brighter that Chang Yu fell asleep.
There was a soft knock on the door outside.
"Who" Chen Wangting, who was on duty, instantly pressed his hand on the handle of the knife on the table.
"Lao Chen, you go and rest" Qiao Sanxiu gently pushed the door open, Chen Wangting exhaled, stretched, and said softly: "The little overseer has just fallen asleep, don't make any noise about him."
Qiao Sanxiu snorted, and was about to say something, when she saw the princess Zhang coming, followed by a maid holding a plate in her hand and a bowl of ginseng soup on it.
The two hurriedly saluted, and the princess returned the salute and glanced inside: "Grandpa Chang woke up?" ”
"My lord was in pain last night and didn't sleep all night, and he just fell asleep," Chen Wangting hurriedly said.
Oh, the princess frowned, looked a little hesitant as if she had something to say, and finally gritted her teeth and asked, "Father-in-law Chang is worried about hurting his life, right?" ”
Chen Wangting shook his head lightly: "If others are afraid that they will not die, they will be abolished, but the little overseer is not an ordinary person, so don't worry too much about the princess."
The princess breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Father-in-law Chang won't have any disabilities, right?"
"The little overseer is not an ordinary person" Chen Wangting smiled, and the princess couldn't ask anymore, nodded slightly, and turned around.
Seeing that his figure disappeared, Qiao Sanxiu chuckled: "This princess is also concerned enough about the little overseer, and she will personally come to deliver the soup early in the morning."
Chen Wangting heaved, "Yu Qi said that he was concerned, but he was more worried than worried."
Lose sleep over something? Qiao Sanxiu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, shook his head and sighed.
Yanzhou City is destined to be unquiet in the past two days.
Yesterday, the officers and soldiers searched and arrested the people all over the city, but today they are good, and there is a sensational pick-up cramp.
In these days, dead people are common, and murder is not uncommon, but it is absolutely rare to hang a person near the city gate and skin it!
Wan Hu Hou is honored, this honor belongs to him.
There was a corpse hanging from the crooked-necked willow tree near the water gate of Dongcheng, and the Marquis of Wanhu finally didn't survive until dawn and swallowed his breath, but it was also a lucky thing to avoid the pain of peeling.
As a notorious thief on the rivers and lakes, the reputation of Wanhu Hou has even been heard of by ordinary people, and when they learned that they were arrested and skinned and civilians were angry, the people of Yanzhou City directly surrounded the northeast, and watched the old executioner's expression focused on peeling, showing the spirit of craftsmanship with every inch of the knife and meticulousness.
The scene was too terrifying, and many people covered their eyes to watch the whole process.
Although the Marquis of Wanhu has been arrested, the blood bat is still nowhere to be found, and the government has not slackened, at least as long as the little eunuch is in Yanzhou, they will not slacken, and continue to search and arrest the whole city over and over again, it is best to catch it, and it is okay to scare him away if it is not caught.
It was almost noon, and when the people of Yanzhou, who had witnessed the skinning of people, were still reminiscing about the terrifying scene, there was another exciting news that exploded in the city.
The government posted a wanted warrant with a bounty.
Hunt and kill the giant evil blood bat Tang Ningzhong in the rivers and lakes, whether he is dead or alive, he will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.
A portrait is attached below.
Needless to say, this is naturally Chang Yu's instructions, he wants the blood bat to be unable to mix in black and white, and wants him to become a real lost dog, as for the portrait, it is described by Wu Zhong's oral painter, and it is said that the similarity is eight or nine points.
When Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, heard that Chang Yu had woken up, he hurriedly came to visit, but he was speechless for a long time in surprise.
The little eunuch was having lunch, his complexion was ruddy and undoubted, and even his demeanor was like an ordinary person, seeing him smiling and greeting, Zhu Yihai rubbed his eyes vigorously to confirm that what he saw was a person and not a ghost.
But it was clear that he was dying yesterday, but now he is ......
Overnight, Chang Yu has healed four or five out of ten, the pain is gone, and the small movements are normal.
"Qufu can't be delayed, let's accompany the prince after lunch" Chang Yu let Zhu Yihai sit down, and then said.
Zhu Yihai couldn't help but sigh again: "Isn't Father-in-law's injury in the way?" ”
"A little flesh wound, not worth mentioning!" Chang Yu shrugged and smiled slightly.
Forehead...... But yesterday you didn't look like you were worth mentioning, Zhu Yihai had too many doubts but couldn't ask a word, this little eunuch was too magical and mysterious.
