Mother, run, Daddy Regent is here again

Chapter 221
Changqing returned to Modak's secret hiding place, and Modak had just fled back.

Seeing her flustered, Modak felt suspicious: "Did you go out?"

Changqing nervously tugged at the silk handkerchief in his hand: "I, I just came back."

The atmosphere was cold for a moment, Modak narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did you go? Who did you meet? Have you been followed?"

Changqing opened his mouth, but did not speak.

At this moment, Huan'er saw it and came over to smooth things over: "Princess, you are back. The king's favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake has already been bought back. Didn't you buy it?"

Huan'er put his hand on Changqing's, and Changqing immediately understood: "No wonder I made a trip in vain, and said that whoever loves food so much has sold out all of them."

Upon hearing this, Modak said doubtfully, "Really?"

Huan'er handed the pastry box to Changqing, and made a look, Changqing immediately took it over, opened it, and said, "King, do you want to taste it?"

Only then did Modak let go of his vigilance, and said irritably: "Where is the mood to eat this now, don't run around again in the future."

Changqing said apologetically, "Got it!"

Modak told Huan'er: "Go and call Wei Lin!"

Changqing's heart tightened. This Wei Lin was his military adviser, and he behaved quite out of character. Modak generally would not want to see him unless it was absolutely necessary.

Changqing hid in the dark, watched Wei Lin enter Modak's room, followed behind, and listened to every move inside through the window.

Modak said in a low voice: "Nowadays, it seems that it is not so easy to escape from the capital."

Wei Lin said obsequiously: "It's not difficult to get out of the customs, as long as you have a clearance certificate, who would dare to check you?!"

Modak became interested: "Clear the customs disk? Let's talk about it in the past, it was not a casual thing, but now, it is harder than climbing to the sky!"

There was a strange light in Wei Lin's eyes, and he said calmly: "We can't apply for a serious one, so why can't we use other methods? If we don't give it to us, we will take it ourselves!"

Modak understood and said, "You mean to steal, it doesn't seem to be in line with your status, right?"

Wei Lin didn't think so: "Life is at stake now, so there's no need to talk about the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles. Special circumstances should be treated specially. Otherwise, we have only one way to go. Instead of being arrested, we might as well go for it!"

Modak nodded slightly and said, "It makes sense!"

Changqing listened to the truth outside the window, and said in shock: "Stealing customs clearance discs? You have to notify them immediately!"

She hurried back to her room, wrote down the words "Modak wants to steal the customs clearance document", put the note with the words on the letter box of the pigeon, found a corner where there was no one, and let the pigeon fly.

About two hours later, Wei Qianqian received Chang Qing's letter, hurried to find Fu Jue, and said seriously, "Who is usually in charge of the customs clearance documents?"

Fu Jue thought for a while and replied, "It's Dr. Li who is in charge of the Department of Government Affairs."

Wei Qianqian showed a playful smile and said, "It looks like we're going to meet him for a while."

Fu Jue nodded and said, "Indeed."

At night, Modak and a man in black sneaked into Dr. Li's house, went to his study first, and searched for the customs clearance disk everywhere.

Modak was a little annoyed, but lowered his voice and said, "Did you remember the wrong location? Why didn't you?"

The man in black was also anxious: "I clearly saw that he put it here, why didn't it exist!"

Two servant girls happened to pass by outside the door, and they hurriedly hid behind the study.

"Hey, have you put away the customs clearance document? Dr. Li made a point of asking before going to bed!"

"Of course it's packed. I heard that recently someone was trying to find out the customs clearance documents and put them in the woodshed. No one would have guessed that the customs clearance documents would be there!"

"Keep your voice down, don't let the bad guys listen."

When they left, Modak murmured in his heart, how did they know that someone was going to secretly pass the customs document.

However, he was not allowed to think too much about it, and the most urgent task now was to get it.

Following the maid's prompt, they came to the firewood room.

The man in black carefully opened the dilapidated gatehouse, but there was still a strange "squeaky" sound.

Modak signaled him: "Hush your voice, do you want to wake everyone up?"

The man in black also looked helpless, "I can only blame this door for being too broken."

Modak said a little irritably: "Stop talking nonsense and find something quickly."

The two entered the firewood house cautiously. The ground inside was uneven. They were not familiar with the terrain. One foot was deep and the other was shallow, and their hearts fluctuated accordingly.

All the materials inside were covered with a thick layer of dust, and Modak was choked by the dust, but he couldn't cough loudly, which made him uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the man in black exclaimed, "I found it!"

Modak slapped him on the head: "Be quiet!"

He snatched the things in his hand and looked through them: "This is the customs clearance document, that's right!"

The two were immersed in joy, and suddenly the roof shook violently, and Modak was startled: "An earthquake?"

The man in black questioned, "How is it possible?"

Before they could react, the two of them were hit by the collapsed roof.

When everything settled down, Modak and the man in black struggled to crawl out of the ruins, their heads were covered with dust. Fortunately, the roof was in disrepair for a long time, and the masonry was almost corroded, so they did not suffer much damage. Only small scratches.

Modak didn't know that someone did it on purpose, and cursed: "Fuck his grandfather, what's going on?"

He turned his head to look for the customs clearance certificate, searched left and right, and finally found it.

Before he had time to communicate with the man in black, he felt something cold on his neck.

Fu Jue said, "Is the ashes from the firewood room delicious? Modak!"

Modak's heart sank, and he said seriously, "Why are you?"

Fu Jue raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Who do you think it is? Doctor Li? Haha"

Modak lazily put the certificate of customs clearance in his arms, and said disdainfully: "What can you do to me? I'm the son-in-law now? Killing the royal relatives is a felony!"

Fu Jue sneered: "No matter how serious the crime is, it's not as serious as yours. You dared to murder the emperor. If you want to judge the crime, you should be the one who deserves to die the most, right?"

Modak refused to admit it: "Hmph, full of nonsense, what evidence do you have to say that I murdered? Without evidence, I can still say that you did it!"

Fu Jue moved the sword closer to his neck, and said irritably, "When death is imminent, keep your mouth shut!"

"Don't think I don't know what wishful thinking you are planning. Take a closer look at the customs clearance document in your hand. Do you really think it is real? We have already replaced it by us. Even if I can't kill you now, you can't even think about it. Escape from the capital!"

Modak quickly took out the customs clearance document from his arms, rubbed the seal on it with his hands, and sure enough, all of them fell off, and he threw the document angrily.
