On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Jiang Yu quickly advised him: "Sir, you are the magistrate of the county. I'm afraid there are a lot of people watching you. If you leave the city rashly, you are afraid of being targeted by those who want to."

Don't be kidding, if County Magistrate Chen falls into the hands of those people, there will be no need to fight, Wu Ning County will be changed hands.

Magistrate Chen stared at him for a moment and then said, "You have heard that we secretly invited the concubine of King Liang Taishan here."

"I learned from his mouth that Prince Liang and the traitor general of Jiangning Mansion were very close to each other in private, and they were flirting with each other restlessly."

"Now, our prince and Jiang Ning are about to start a fight. I'm afraid that Prince Liang will also take the opportunity to send troops."

"And Cai Ye, the concubine of King Liang Taishan, is here to lobby Sheng Qianhu. I heard that they had a good relationship when they were young. We have to prevent Sheng Qianhu from turning against him!"

"I will report all this to the prince. If Mr. Li can recover from his injuries as soon as possible, he may be able to take over the position of Sheng Qianhu."

He wanted Li Yan to take over Sheng Qianhu's position, so that he wouldn't have to worry about people from the guard station dealing with him in the future.

After all, the Li family father and son are the prince's confidants, and his own son is also under Li Yan, so they can still discuss things when they encounter problems.

He was able to tell Jiang Yu such an important matter because he didn't have enough manpower, and because the Jiang family's status as a doctor meant that any incoming or outgoing would not arouse suspicion.

Like this time, Jiang Yu's excuse for visiting was to deliver tonics to Magistrate Chen and show his respect to Magistrate Chen.

Moreover, the capture of Cai Ye, the concubine of King Liang Taishan, was also due to the Jiang family.

Although Cai Ye is greedy for life and afraid of death, Cai Ye is also very good at specializing in business and knows a lot of news about Prince Liang's house.

He was not sure whether it was true or false, and was ready to send the person to the prince.

In this way, most of his confidants and capable people will be sent out again. The only way to protect Mr. Li and to make good friends with Mr. Li is to take advantage of the Jiang family.

Besides, Li Yan and Jiang Yu had already met, and Jiang Yu had also treated Li Yan, so they were considered to have established a relationship.

Now that Mr. Li is in danger, it would be good for the Jiang family to do more.

Jiang Yu instantly understood Magistrate Chen's kindness and solemnly thanked him: "Thank you for your advice, I will fight to the death to protect Master Li."

County Magistrate Chen patted him on the shoulder: "I hope we are all safe and sound..."

It's a pity that they didn't know that in the guardhouse hundreds of miles away, Sheng Qianhu and Zhang Qianhu, who worked for Prince Liang of Yuzhang, were also sitting face to face in the study room with the doors and windows closed with solemn expressions.

Sheng Qianhu suppressed the anger in his heart: "Brother Zhang, I am doing this for you, but I didn't ask you to bring so many troops here."

It was really a careless move and everything was lost.

He had a good personal relationship with Cai Ye, so he specially asked his son to greet him.

Cai Ye was not allowed to come to the guardhouse directly to avoid suspicion. He was afraid that the prince's people and County Magistrate Chen's people would be watching him.

If spies saw Cai Ye entering the guardhouse, he would not be able to escape even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

That's why he arranged for his son to go to Wuning County. Even if he was seen by others, he could argue that he met him accidentally.

Maybe we can put this blame on the head of Chen, and accuse him of having a close relationship with Prince Liang.

Unfortunately, he didn't expect that Cai Ye would disappear before he entered the city.

Disappearing with Cai Ye were also distant relatives who had taken refuge with him.

Unfortunately, the heavy snow had covered up all their traces, and even now, there are still no survivors or dead bodies.

The King of Liang also asked him for people.

He doesn't have the ability to transform into a living person, so how can he hand over someone?
In this chapter, Qianhu said that he would personally bring people to search for him and asked him to be accommodating. Sheng Qianhu turned a blind eye and asked him to bring more than a hundred people in. But he didn't expect that he had someone lurking in secretly, and they also colluded with the spies from Jiangning. Sheng Qianhu didn't even know how many of them there were now.

This shocked and angered him.

But Zhang Qianhu was still lobbying him here, trying to get him to join the gang.

Of course Sheng Qianhu is not willing. King Jin'an has many powerful generals and ministers. Even if Jiang Ning and Yu Zhang join forces, they may not be defeated.

But he couldn't say clearly that he didn't think highly of Prince Liang, so he could only portray himself as a loyal, brave and unyielding image: "A woman cannot serve two husbands, a minister cannot serve two masters. I cannot betray the prince."

Zhang Qianhu despised him in his heart for being a bitch and building an archway, which was really shameless.

If he was truly loyal, he wouldn't be standing here.

But he didn't want to fall out with Sheng Qianhu. Even if he didn't help, he just didn't want to cause trouble when he had to lead people to do it.

"Brother Sheng really has a pure heart." Zhang Qianhu looked at him and said, "Although we each have our own masters, the younger brother cannot bear to fight swords with the elder brother."

"The day after tomorrow, I hope you, Brother Shanda, can go to suppress the bandits and make it easier for my brother."

"We won't hurt anyone, we just borrow some food and grass and leave."

The innocent words coming out of his mouth did not sound like good words, and Sheng Qianhu suspected that he was mocking him.

But now Zhang Qianhu has come up with a plan and told himself clearly that they will join forces to make a fortune in Wuning County.

He kept himself away, not because he was worried that they wouldn't be able to defeat him, but because he was warning himself not to confront him.

And allowing yourself to suppress bandits is also giving yourself a step down.

If you go to suppress the bandits yourself, you ignore what has been said elsewhere.

Even if he is held accountable by his superiors, he can still find a way to evade it.

After all, suppressing bandits is a good excuse and a serious matter.

Sheng Qianhu knew in his heart that he made one mistake after another.

From the very beginning when he asked his son to meet Cai Ye, he made a mistake, and now he can only make mistakes.

He scolded him in his heart for not being a thief, but he could only compromise: "Then you must not casually hurt people's lives."

He was gloating in his heart: If only some food and grass were lost, it would be Magistrate Chen who would have a headache.

Of course, he also understood that Zhang Qianhu and the others would definitely take the opportunity to rob some wealthy households in the city.

But he didn't dare to care, for fear that he would be dragged into the water.

In her heart, Sheng Qianhu only hated Cai Ye for mistaking him. He only hoped that he could escape successfully this time and would be more careful in dealing with others in the future.

"Of course, we will most likely be colleagues from now on. I can't embarrass my elder brother no matter what."

Zhang Qianhu almost laughed. His real purpose was not to grab food and grass, but to send Sheng Qianhu away so that his own people could come in and plunder Wuning County and nearby villages.

The three months of military rations and salaries for the coming year will be on me.

As for Sheng Qianhu, who was hesitant about making decisions and wanted to have both sides, wouldn't he care to actually bring him to his master?

After the two discussed some more, Zhang Qianhu put on his old clothes, lowered his head and held his chest, pretending to be timid, blended into the vegetable delivery team, and left quietly without being noticeable.
