Chapter 700 Self-destruction of the Great Wall
When King Pengcheng arrived with his men and horses, the dock was still busy, and there was an endless stream of people loading ships and carrying bags.

King Pengcheng gave an order, and the guards immediately drove the crowd together, and then began to search the boat.However, even after searching all the boats at the dock, there was still no sign of Tan Daoji.

King Pengcheng was furious. He didn't expect that the trap he had carefully prepared would make even the emperor a pawn, but Tan Daoji escaped!
He directly ordered people to push Tan Chengbo onto the pier bridge, raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Tan Daoji! This king knows that you are near here! If you are obedient and arrest you, this king will spare your life. If not, this king will punish this traitor who killed the king and caused chaos on the spot!"

Tan Chengbo was so frightened that he pissed, and he shouted heartbreakingly: "You are wronged! You are wronged! This official is wronged! This official only drinks and plays with the prince occasionally, and never instigates the prince to kill the king! Father! Father! My son is wronged! You Save my son! Save my son!"

Jiang, who came with her, was already disheveled at this time. She rushed over and hugged her son tightly, and looked around while shouting in despair, "General! Where are you, General?! Come out quickly! Help our son! He is Wronged! He was really wronged! Come out and explain to King Pengcheng, let my son go!"

Seeing this scene, the people on the dock couldn't bear to lower their heads, and everyone was suspicious.

After all, Tan Daoji was an important minister in the court, even if he wanted to punish him, he should be arrested by the Habayashi Army or the Forbidden Army.But no matter who saw it, King Pengcheng's team was all personal soldiers of the palace, and this posture was obviously not for arresting people.

The crowd began to stir faintly because of their uneasiness.

Seeing that there was no movement around, King Pengcheng's anxiety of seeking success and anger of missing a step made him lose his remaining patience.He got off his horse and kicked Mrs. Jiang away, stomped Tan Chengbo's head on the ground, and shouted: "Tan Daoji! This king only makes dozens of noises. If you don't dedicate yourself, wait to collect your son's body!"

"Ten! Nine! Eight! Seven!"

"Daddy! Daddy, save me! Save me, Daddy!"

"General! General, come out quickly!"

"Six! Five! Four! Three!"

"Father! I don't want to die, dad! Save the child! The child is wronged! Dad——!"

"Two! One—!"

With a sound of "噗味", a column of blood spurted out, and a head rolled on the wooden plank of the trestle bridge a few times, and fell into the river with a "plop" and sank.

Jiang rolled her eyes and passed out directly.

Everyone present was stunned. No matter how bad Tan Chengbo was, he was still the heir of the Tan family, and the prince was involved. King Pengcheng didn't even have a trial, so he was killed like this? !

Even King Pengcheng himself didn't seem to expect that he would really do it.

He stared at the headless corpse for a while, then wiped the blood splattered on his face, and shouted like crazy: "Search the city! Inform the imperial army, go from house to house, and don't let go of a single place." Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find Tan Daoji for me!"

At this time, Tan Daoji had already been knocked out and put in a bamboo basket, and was pushed by Tan Zhi and Tan Can on a cart towards the edge of the city.

Tan Can looked at Zimo who was leading the way, and couldn't help muttering: "This Zimo's attack is too dark. My father was stunned by one palm. At this age, don't give him a slap!" Anyway, come."

Tan Zhi glared at his second brother, "Shut your mouth and push!"

In fact, both brothers knew that if Tan Daoji was not knocked unconscious, he would rush out to rescue Tan Chengbo in all likelihood.No matter how unfilial the offspring are, they are also their own sons, so they can't just die in such a vague way.

Fortunately, Tan Chengbo's grievances caused a little commotion, which allowed them to sneak out of the dock.

But at this moment, none of them cared about Tan Chengbo's life or death.Although they have already left the pier, Jiankang City has been sealed off. If they don't find a shelter quickly, all of them may be doomed.

Zhu Yuanyuan, who was traveling with her, probably also thought of this, and said to the walkers beside her, "If something unexpected happens, please protect the safety of General Tan first, two seniors."

The two walkers showed embarrassment, and one of them said: "Even if you make a mistake, the landlord will not be indifferent."

Another person said: "Now the Xingzhe Building and the Salvation Army are all supported by the Zhu family. If you put the gains and losses in the way of heaven first, you should also protect you first."

Tan Zhi, who was a few steps ahead, heard it, and turned around and said: "If the two seniors work together...and Zimo, it is possible to protect my father and Miss Zhu at the same time?"

The two walkers glanced at the tall Jiankang city wall not far away at the same time, but did not answer.

Afterwards, everyone fell silent, followed Zimo around, and finally arrived at a dilapidated workshop.

Zimo entered first, and after confirming that there was no one inside, he beckoned everyone to come in and hid in the cellar.

Zhu Yuanyuan glanced inside the workshop sharply, and immediately said in astonishment: "Here! Could it be the Ying family's counterfeit currency workshop?!"

Zimo didn't shy away from it at this time, nodded and said: "That's right. This place is already owned by King Pengcheng. He will never send people to search here in order to deceive people. I will guard it. No matter what happens, you don't come out .”

Mo Yao said at this time: "It's not an option to hide all the time. The King of Pengcheng has never seen the maidservant. The maidservant first went to check everywhere to see if there is any way to get out of the city."

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded at Mo Yao.Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't help exhorting: "Remember to be careful. Don't even expose you."

Mo Yao smiled at Zhu Yuanyuan, looked at Zimo again, and then got out of the cellar with a cat body.

This hiding is seven days.

During this period, the forbidden army did search the vicinity of this workshop, but everyone who saw Zimo's waist badge immediately retreated.Mo Yao also came back once to inform everyone about Tan Chengbo's death.

"The prince is also dead. It is said that he hanged himself from the beam in the East Palace in fear of crime. After the emperor learned about it, he was so indignant that he couldn't afford to get sick. Now the entire court situation is under the control of King Pengcheng, although many ministers feel that the prince is bewitched. It has nothing to do with the Tan family, but right now no one dares to disobey King Pengcheng."

Except for the first day, Zimo seldom spoke afterwards. At this time, he also frowned and said: "The wind has been tense these days, so there is no one in the workshop. After staying for a few days, the craftsmen have all returned. I am afraid that the cellar is Can't hide people."

Zhu Yuanyuan said, "Jiankang cannot be closed forever. Jiankang has a large population. Although the rice shop has enough rice for a month, fresh vegetables and raw meat have to be brought in from outside the city every day. Even swill Cars have to be transported out of the city every day. Even if the common people can bear it, even the dignitaries in the city can't bear it. As long as the Jiankang city gate is opened, we will have a chance to escape."

Mo Yao immediately said: "Maidservant, go find more carts and cages, then leave the city through the four gates at the same time, you take this opportunity to sneak out of the city."

From the beginning to the end, Tan Daoji didn't say a word.

Tan Zhi understood the pain of his father's bereavement, but he could only comfort him: "Although Cheng Bo is sometimes stubborn, I believe he can't do anything to instigate the prince. When we get out of trouble safely, we will be able to wash away his grievances."

Recalling Yaozi's last cry at the pier, Tan Daoji, who has always been tough, shed two lines of dirty tears, "King Pengcheng is so reckless for the throne... Self-destructing the Great Wall, he is self-destructing the Great Wall, and he wants to ruin the country..."

Tan Can saw that his father was really heartbroken, so he also helped to persuade him: "Think about it, father, although the emperor is seriously ill, he is still alive. As long as we cure the emperor, what is the king of Pengcheng on the throne?!"

Although Tan Zhi was angry with his second younger brother, he couldn't speak his mind, so he lifted which pot he didn't open.But right now, he can only use this idea to suspend Tan Daoji's spirit, otherwise, under his grief, he might really fall ill.

"Second brother is right. Now that we can't enter the palace, even if we enter the palace, the emperor will not trust us easily if there is no proof of death. Why don't we find a way to get out of the city first, and then invite the genius doctor back, the emperor will naturally trust the loyalty of the Tan family .”
