Chapter 657 Mu Cheng's Anxiety

Bo Ling and Li Yiru stood up, "Brother Mu is back!"

"How's it going outside?" Boling asked. "Are there many people chasing us today?"

"Not much." Mu Cheng replied.

"not much?"

"Not only are there not many, there are none at all." Mu Cheng looked at Bai Ling, "I went to the inn first, I thought it would be closed for inspection, but it didn't."

Bo Ling and Li Yiru both frowned.

"Yes, the inn is operating as usual." Mu Cheng said softly, "No one around talked about what happened last night. I also went to the west gate and north gate specifically—there was no notice, not even a portrait of the arrest."

"...?" Bai Ling frowned slightly.

"It's gone wrong," Mu Cheng said with a serious expression, "It's as if nothing happened last night."

As he said that, Mu Cheng threw the meat bun in his hand to Bo Ling and Li Yiru.

Neither of them reacted, but their hands instinctively caught it.

After a night of hunger, both of them ate hungrily.

"Brother Mu, have you heard any news about that fat yamen servant?" Bai Ling asked inarticulately.

Mu Cheng shook his head, "I don't know, he is an official post after all, and Huizhou Prefecture is so big, I have no place to inquire about it."

"I really feel a little strange." Bai Ling ate his food, looked up at Mu Cheng, "We've been sitting here all morning, and there are people coming and going. I haven't seen the man with the scar from last night again."

Bo Ling glanced at Li Yiru who was standing aside, "Did you hear his voice?"

Li Yiru didn't bother to speak, but shook his head firmly.

"There was no arrest... so that kind of shows that what happened last night was temporarily suppressed." Bai Ling said softly, "How come everyone has been tied up to the west city gate and there is no splash—"

Burling choked suddenly.

Mu Cheng threw the water bag on his waist over.

"What's wrong?" Mu Cheng frowned, "What did you think of?"

Bo Ling drank a sip of water with difficulty and calmed down.

"That anonymous petition... Did Brother Mu vote?" Bai Ling raised his head and asked.

"I voted." Mu Cheng looked at her strangely, "Didn't you tell me to vote, 'ready with both hands'."

Bai Ling's expression became a little gloomy.

She looked at the ground in front of her with uncertainty, and said softly, "Maybe... I've startled the snake."

……

Sure enough, the situation took a turn for the worse after noon, and the government suddenly started a city-wide search.

The three of them stood in front of the city gate, facing their own heads and names on the wanted portraits, with complicated emotions.

They all arrived in Huizhou not long ago, and there are not many people who can recognize them here, and this portrait is basically one of the descriptions of the owner of the inn in the east of the city, and a few associate soldiers who still have impressions of them. Next, draw it.

The three of them pretended not to know each other and sneaked into the crowd of spectators, then pulled away from each other and retreated to the corner of the street.

If they want to go out of the city, these officers and soldiers will definitely not recognize them based on the portraits alone.

But they all have non-local accents. People who are going out of the city now, as long as they don't speak Huizhou dialect, they all have to check the road guides.

The three of them walked back and forth into a deserted alley and met.

Mu Cheng looked a little annoyed.

Berlin was also silent.

Li Yiru looked around, "What should we do now? Boomerang Bureau?"

"I should have thought of it last night," Mu Cheng said in a low voice. "So much food appeared in a temporary warehouse of an escort agency. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. If there is no instruction from the people above, how dare the people below be so bold?"

"They probably thought that the three of us would run away, and they would let go after raising the knife an inch." Mu Cheng's brows were tightened, "Now we go to report the Escort for stealing military supplies, and the government wants to arrest us instead. .”

"I did think about it last night..." Bo Ling whispered, "But it's unreasonable."

"Where is it unreasonable?"

"I won't be so stupid as to believe that the fat yamen servant is the final mastermind...but the state government office can't join forces with them," Bai Ling argued, "I said last night that the food is indeed going to Jiangzhou. But Jiangzhou Mansion is not the final destination of this batch of military rations, they will eventually be transferred to the northern border.

"Every time the capital allocates how much grain to go north, it is written clearly in the document. Every time a checkpoint of the state capital is passed in the middle, the amount of surplus grain must be counted and reported. If there is a huge amount of embezzlement here, the court will definitely not escape. That's why I bet—"

"But you made a wrong bet." Mu Cheng interrupted, "The officialdom in Huizhou is no different from other places! Even if the court pursues the responsibility, it doesn't matter... Stop the Yoyo's mouth, and when the time comes, they will be fooled. Already!"

"Other things may be true, but in war, no one can fool the court." Bo Ling said softly.

Mu Cheng just thought it was funny, the young man in front of him didn't seem to be in his prime yet, but when he talked about these temples, he spoke so convincingly.

"How do you know?" Mu Cheng's eyes were cold, "Have you met the emperor or the chief minister? Do you know what kind of people are the high-ranking people in Pingjing?"

Burling took a deep breath.

"Let's calm down, Brother Mu."

Li Yiru looked a bit embarrassed, "Yeah, let's not get into a fight by ourselves, if it wasn't for everyone's cooperation last night, we wouldn't have been able to escape from that place."

Mu Cheng didn't speak, turned around and thumped the wall heavily.

Li Yiru sighed, "Brother Mu, don't be sad, there is no guarantee in this world. Since we want to gamble, we may be wrong."

"The point is that there is no way out now," Bo Ling said softly, "I also told Yiru this morning that if the wind outside is tight, we can find a way to sneak into the convoy transporting grain. According to their current loading Speed, the fastest time to start is tonight, although there are many guards in the Escort, but after all, it is not as strict as the official place... it is still possible."

Hearing the word "tonight", Mu Cheng's eyes brightened slightly again.

"Then let's go." He walked in front, "while they are still busy loading cars, let's go explore the road."

"Yeah!" Li Yiru was slightly relieved when he saw that Mucheng had returned to his previous expression, "Let's go!"

After walking two steps forward, Mu Cheng suddenly stopped. He didn't look back, but whispered, "Sorry, I was too anxious just now."

Bo Ling knew that most of these words were said to herself, she folded her arms, "It's okay."

On the way back to Yongping Escort by taking a small path, Bo Ling looked at Mu Cheng's back and had doubts in his heart.

It is now August, and what Mu Cheng said before was that he would rush to Zhuozhou to take up his post before the end of the year-this time is plenty from any point of view.

Now it was only a day or two longer, and he became anxious.

On the contrary, he didn't care much about the possibility of being "wanted" by the government from the beginning to the end-this point is very similar to himself.
