Chapter 342 The Real Purpose

As night fell, the yamen servants carried the food to the back room of the government yamen.

This is the place where the officials rest when they are on duty, and the conditions are not too bad; and next to it is the prison, which is guarded by soldiers and is heavily guarded.

General Hu and others were imprisoned here.

Their identities are a bit subtle, and being locked up in a prison is equivalent to turning against the false emperor, and closing the guest room is too preferential.After some weighing, the person was finally locked here.

There were two people who were locked up with General Hu. When they saw the food brought by the yamen servant, one of them glanced at the Shangguan and became furious: "What kind of rotten food is this? How dare you send it to the master?!"

The yamen servant smiled and said: "I'm sorry, I have neglected a few masters. But there are only these in the yamen, please make it as soon as possible..."

After finishing speaking, there was a chaotic sound of "ding ding bang bang", and the dining table was overturned directly.

"I'm His Majesty's envoy, how dare the thief Xu Huan do this!" Then there was a stream of scolding, no matter how ugly it was.

Seeing the other party pick up the teacup and throw it towards him, the yamen servant has quick eyesight and quick hands, and quickly exits the cover room. The guard outside closed the door with a "bang".

The yamen servant said loudly through the door: "Masters, save your energy. It's late, the kitchen has been turned off, and now the food is smashed, so I can't do it again. There are still a few steamed buns here, and I will pad my stomach. The little one is leaving."

After all, he really left.

After cursing and cursing in the room for a while, I couldn't hold back my hunger, so I took away the steamed buns that were on the window sill.

The guard smiled contemptuously, and said in a low voice: "Master from Beijing, why don't you just eat steamed buns honestly, what kind of arrogance are you playing?"

"That's right, hehe..."

The imperial guard heard the veins on his forehead twitching, wishing he could go out now and end up with two low-minded guys, but when he turned his head and saw Shangguan who was slowly gnawing on the steamed buns, he endured it again.

"My lord?" He lowered his voice.

General Hu didn't even raise his head, he finished eating the dry steamed buns, and took the teapot from another subordinate.Because the teacup had been dropped by them, they could only drink from the spout.

After drinking the water, he wiped his mouth and said with words in his mouth: "The big things matter."

The two imperial guards shut up, ate two steamed buns each, then set up chairs, lay down to rest - and did not forget to curse twice in the middle.

As the sky gradually darkened, the guards outside became bored and said: "Today is a good day, as usual, the superior should enjoy the banquet, why didn't you see it?"

The other also wondered: "Yeah, maybe our share is swallowed up?"

The two couldn't sit still, just in time to see a little official humming a tune passing by the intersection, they hurriedly stopped and asked.

The little official squinted his drunken eyes, and said with a smile, "I've rewarded you! It's in the official's room! They all find time to eat, and you are the ones who are foolish enough to keep watch."

"I said, why didn't I see them patrolling the night!" A guard said angrily.

The other was embarrassed: "Then what should we do? People are inseparable here, and we can't afford anything to happen."

His companion was bolder: "What can happen? The outside is like an iron barrel."

"But we can't leave our posts without authorization! We're done if we get caught."

"Who said we're going to leave without authorization. Don't we have two people? Let one of us get it, isn't that all right?" He grabbed the little official again, "Brother, would you like to wait with us for a while? We have errands and we can't drink alcohol. Then I can only ask you for help.”

The little official got a pot of wine for nothing, he laughed and said, "Okay."

Then one of them went to the official's room to get food and drinks, and the other one stood at the intersection with the small official, his voice faint.

General Hu suddenly opened his eyes, and ordered in a low voice: "Call the people."

What's the matter with being angry, throwing bowls, and swearing at people? It's all for them to watch. Even the persecution during the day is just a scene. This is their real job.

The two subordinates got up at once, and knocked on the walls on both sides regularly, so the secret codes followed one after another.

When a group of people came out from the roof or the window, the guard was still chatting with the servant at the intersection.

General Hu concealed himself, climbed over the wall and left the back room, humming in his heart.

Fortunately for them, they would have killed a few guards according to the plan, but thanks to their greedy mouths, they saved a lot of trouble.

But when they reached the periphery of the government office, they ran into trouble again.The guard said that the outside was surrounded like an iron barrel, and they were not lying. There were three layers of guards inside and three layers outside, and they couldn't find a gap no matter what.

"My lord, what should I do?" A subordinate asked anxiously.

If you don't finish the errands as soon as possible, I'm afraid the governor's mansion will respond tomorrow, and then it won't be able to be done.

General Hu is also anxious, but there are too many people, and they will definitely be noticed if they do something.

Just as I was anxious, there was a sudden commotion outside.They listened carefully for a while, and it turned out that the refugees came to beg for food when they heard that the governor had rewarded the water banquet.

Seeing the chaos of the crowd, the guards had to go out to maintain order, shouting loudly: "The running water mat is not here, you go to the back street of the Governor's Mansion! Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, if you squeeze again, you will be arrested!"

General Hu's eyes lit up: "There is space, let's go!"

Taking advantage of the turmoil, a group of people managed to get out of the government office.

Hiding in an empty alley opposite, General Hu felt that he was surprisingly lucky. With such luck, he would be ashamed of God if he didn't succeed today.

The wooden door next to it suddenly creaked, and when everyone was alert, a voice appeared along with the light: "General Hu, you have worked hard all the way!"

The imperial guards were startled and turned their heads to see someone standing quietly holding a lantern.

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, General Hu was stunned for a moment: "Young Master Jiang?"

It was Jiang Yue who came, he handed the lantern to his attendant, and slowly tied up his sleeves.Only then did General Hu realize that he was dressed in nocturnal attire, almost the same as his own group.

"you……"

Jiang Yue stared at him with a smile on his lips: "General Hu doesn't think those refugees are just a coincidence, does he?"

General Hu gasped.He did it?So Jiang Yue knew exactly what he was doing?Wait, how long has he been in Nanyuan, and he secretly prepared a group of refugees?
"General Hu, don't worry." Jiang Yue said softly, "I was ordered by the governor to assist you. After all, we are all working for His Majesty, and we were originally on one side."

Jiang Yue, the palace changer, did make a great contribution...

General Hu believed most of it, and asked him: "How does Governor Jiang know the holy will?"

"The governor doesn't know, he just asked me to help. I figured it out during the day, the general is not an ignorant person, how could he rush forward without thinking?"

General Hu was silent for a moment, and quickly accepted his kindness.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept it, Jiang Yue has already known his whereabouts, so he can't hide it.Furthermore, Jiang Yue clearly has a piece of chess in his hand, so it is not in vain to send it to his door, the worst thing is to share some credit with him afterwards.

"Then thank you Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yue got the answer he wanted, smiled slightly, and said softly: "General Hu believes in me, and he will definitely not regret it. There is a chance tonight, Yan Er invited the Chu and Zhao families, and we might be able to build a bigger one." Credit..."
