At dusk, the walls of Chang'an City resounded with melodious drums, reminding those who were still walking on the streets that the curfew was about to begin.

Summer evenings always come very late, and the sun is still hanging in the western sky, trying to give off the last rays of light to add a bit of heat to the night.

The children were jogging and chasing, stepping on the shadows of their peers to joke with each other, and finally in the scolding of adults, they were dragged home, crying and making an appointment with their companions to play tomorrow.

In the evening, Chang'an City was much less impetuous and more peaceful.

However, the calm on the streets was soon shattered.

In a hurry, hundreds of unscrupulous people and officials gathered together with sweaty heads, all of them with gray faces, as if they had suffered some setback, and stood listlessly.

"Didn't find it?" A rugged man pointed at the crowd and scolded: "Waste! It's all rubbish! The person who caught it can still run away, so what's the use of keeping all this waste on you? ”

Several bad people looked at each other, stepped forward and clasped their fists, and said in shame: "My lord atoned for my sins, my subordinates took good care of me, and I asked my lord to punish him." ”

The unscrupulous man at the head stepped forward and gave the man a kick, kicked him to the ground, and reprimanded: "Punishment? People ran away and told me that punishment was a fart! You better think about how to explain to Lord Cai! ”

At the end, the leader of the bad guys glanced around at the people around him again, and said angrily: "Send one person to report to Lord Cai, and the rest of the people will continue to search!" If you can't find anyone, you can't sleep! ”

"Yes!" As soon as the bad guy and the official errand dispersed, a bad guy hurriedly ran at the end of the street, and I saw him with an ugly face and a stumbling figure.

The unscrupulous person at the head saw that a bad premonition rose in the heart of the man, and maybe something had happened.

"Adult, it's not bad!" The bad guy who came over said breathlessly.

The leader stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar and said angrily, "What's the matter? Aren't you in charge of Lu Mingzhi? How did you get here? Don't tell Lu Mingzhi to run away too! ”

The bad guy looked bitter and stammered: "My lord, Lu Mingzhi really ran away, and by the time the villain found out that he was not right and entered the house to check, the house was already empty." ”

Finished!

The bad guy at the head of the gang let go of his hand weakly and let him fall to the ground, he only knew that everything was over now, the most important two people had run away, and this arrest was meaningless, everything was like a farce, ridiculous.

"Where are the gates? Are there any checkpoints at the city gates? Suddenly, he turned around and asked his subordinates.

The subordinate clasped his fists and responded: "If you go back to your lordship, the city gate has already set up checkpoints to stop people before the arrest operation." ”

Hearing this, a glimmer of hope rose in the eyes of the bad people at the head. "Good! It's good to fortify, the prisoner should still be in Chang'an City, and he should be able to find it in a hurry, but Lu Mingzhi is more troublesome to run, no, I have to go to Lord Cai in person. ”

After speaking, he led several bad people around him to find Cai He.

The night search in Chang'an City continued, but a mile outside Chang'an City, a man pushed a flatbed truck to a halt. And on the flatbed lying a pale, lifeless fat man, weirdly, this fat man is still wearing a shroud.

At dusk, a car with a dead person appeared in the forest on the outskirts, how to look at it and feel weird, fortunately no one passed by nearby, so no one was frightened.

The man in the cart took off the straw hat on his head, revealing his face, it was the easy-to-look Ah Biao, he stepped forward and pushed the fat man lying on the car, and called softly: "Childe, we escaped." ”

Originally lying on the flatbed, the deceased "dead man" got up, opened his eyes and glanced left and right, then wiped the **** on his face, and took off his shroud with the help of Ah Biao.

"Damn! It's hot to death! Lu Mingzhi took off his shroud and threw it on the ground, and snorted on the ground again: "In order to escape, you have to pretend to be dead, what a fucking bad luck!" Ah Biao, I'll find a clean place to take a shower later, so that I can wash off my bad luck! ”

Ah Biao responded: "Yes, son, but we can't be careless at this moment, it's too close to Chang'an City, and the government will catch up at any time, I think we should rush back to Fanyang overnight." ”

Lu Mingzhi snorted unhappily: "Hmph! Damn the government, the murdered Lao Tzu has to flee overnight! You wait for me! Ah Biao, listen to you, let's go! ”

Ah Biao answered and pushed Lu Mingzhi forward, while Lu Mingzhi leaned comfortably on the car, and fell asleep after a while.

"My lord! All the restaurants, green buildings and other places that can be investigated have been visited, and there is no trace of the prisoner. ”

Cai He heard a series of bad news at night, Ah Biao fled, Lu Mingzhi disappeared, the two news added up did not make him worry, the worst thing is that Lu Mingzhi is the key person appointed by Li Shimin, he is missing, which means that the order given by Li Shimin has not been implemented well, which is the most fatal.

He has disappointed Li Shimin many times, and if he messes things up this time, he has to be careful of the head on his head.

Cai He naturally vented his anger on his subordinates, scolded everyone with a stinky face, and then kicked away one by one.

Chang'an City, this night, is destined to be unpeaceful!

If one of the unlucky people accidentally broke the curfew, they would beat them up and drag them back to prison like a dog.

"My lord, we've already been to Fireworks Alley, do we want to go again? There are a lot of dignitaries in it, isn't this?"

In front is the famous Hualiu Lane in Chang'an, to put it bluntly, it is a street of Qinglou Gambling House. The gambling house is closed at the moment, and the darkness is not a little angry, but the Qinglou is the best time for business at the moment.

The red warbler song, the silk musical instruments accompanied by the women's coquettish laughter, rippling everyone's hearts, some bad people with poor concentration, looked towards the Qinglou, showing a yearning look.

Cai He glanced at the person beside him and said angrily: "We are ordered to run errands, what is there to be afraid of?" Do you know what happens if you can't find a prisoner? Yes? Let me go in and search for someone! ”

"Yes!" The immediate boss gave an order, and they had to obey it, so they had to step forward and knock on the door of a green building.

At this moment, a black shadow swept by at an incredible speed. By the time everyone reacted, the black shadow had melted into the moonlight and disappeared.

"What's that? Am I dazzled? ”

Cai He slapped the man and said angrily: "You are not dazzled! That's a person! It must be a prisoner, why don't you chase Lao Tzu soon? ”

The bad guy reacted, and immediately became murderous, carrying a knife to chase after him.

Just as the bad guys were spinning around like headless flies, the black shadow was half-crouching on the tiles of a room, looking leisurely at the people who were in chaos below.

"Is that all there is to it?" The black shadow shook his head, turned and leaped into the air, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
