Chapter 203 Du Ruhui, who was forced to leave

Master Li Tieping's expression did not seem to be fake, and he said, "Perhaps Li Daoming has also concealed him. [] This kind of thing, if the news leaked out, would be harmful to Li Daoming, so if it was me, I'm afraid It’s also about finding someone you trust the most.”

"The government doesn't care if he knows or not. That's fine, it will be more clear and orderly for the government to close the city gate."

"At night, I'm afraid they will be more prepared." Master Li said softly, "Will it be affected?"

Lin Hailu frowned, shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid. The entire post house, including the imperial envoy's shaft, was burned. They can guard against the shaft, but they can't guard against the entire post house."

Although the idea of ​​setting the fire was from Master Li himself, he was still a little uncomfortable hearing Lin Hailu say it so darkly.However, until now, he can only go on with Lin Hailu.

It's easy to get through, get Lin Hailu's trust, relying on the power of the prince, it is easy to become an official based on his background.At that time, the road will lead to the sky, and the glory and wealth of a lifetime will be impossible; anyway, there is Lin Hailu on top of it, and I will be able to run if I look at the vacancy. You can get away.

Thinking of this, Master Li felt a little more relaxed. He stole a glance at the dignified Lin Hailu, and then put on a straight face, deliberately covering up these thoughts in his heart.

Wu Tong received Lin Hailu's repeated orders, so how dare he delay such a big event!He hurriedly called the cronies who had already greeted him to his side, gave them some more intentional instructions, and asked them to take the tokens and go directly to the gate of Luosi City.

In the four cities, arrangements had already been made, so as soon as Wu Tong's token arrived, the thick city gate was closed with force by seven or eight strong men.Dozens of sergeants stood next to the gate, with horses set up in front of them, and they all showed their weapons, scaring the common people and businessmen who wanted to leave the city, and retreated again and again.Only then did the gatekeeper shout loudly, "Let's go, go back. The city gate will only open tomorrow."

Someone shouted, "How late is this? Why did you close the city gate?"

The gatekeeper scolded, "Why are you chewing your tongue? We can't talk about this, we just listened to the order from above. If you have something to say, go to the yamen and say it. Don't fart here."

Everyone dispersed.Where is Yamen?Don't let money come in if you have reason. A few days ago, the yamen arrested many people because of the seals flying all over the sky.Who dares to go into the yamen for the sake of closing the city gate, if he is full and has nothing to do.

Du Ruhui rode a fast horse, accompanied by eight bodyguards from Prince Wu's mansion, plus He Ying's four internal messengers, and rushed out of the east gate all the way.

Standing on the stone hill far away, the city gate is slowly closed.A Niu scolded, "Master Du, this old dog Lin is really ruthless, he really dares to fight! If we come out one step later, he will be locked up in the city as designated."

Du Ruhui held the horse's head, and looked at the city gate from a distance, a trace of hostility flashed across his face, he was about to speak coldly, when his heart suddenly trembled, cold sweat dripped from his head.

Seeing Du Ruhui's complexion suddenly, Ah-Dai felt a little strange.He couldn't help but asked with concern: "Master Du? Did you run too fast just now and you were tired? Your expression doesn't seem right, why don't we rest for a while?"

"No, I can't rest." Du Ruhui said loudly, the voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention.

Du Ruhui realized that he had lost his composure, so he glanced around calmly, and then slowly withdrew his gaze.

It was A Niu's words that reminded him.It stands to reason that Lin Hailu would not do anything to himself under such circumstances.With dozens of people guarding him, even if Lin Hailu tried his best to kill him, it would not be an easy task.What's more, even if he killed himself, he would have to bear the consequences of killing himself.

It wasn't the right time to do it, but he did it anyway.That means he must have some plans.

It is impossible for a reckless person to become a third-rank official.Therefore, such a hasty attack was originally just a cover.In order to force himself out of the city and kill him quietly in the wild, this is Lin Hailu's purpose.

Now that he has been forced out of the city by Lin Hailu, Lin Hailu's backer must be nearby.Although it is not in sight, the danger must be close at hand.

Calling Ah Niu and Ah Dai to his side, he whispered authentically, "Do you two believe me?"

As soon as they heard Du Ruhui's tone, they knew that things had changed, so they didn't speak, but nodded silently.

"Don't go around, let me tell you, there must be a group of people around us who are after us. I won't tell you about this group, but you can guess who sent it!"

The two were startled again, and said in a low voice, "Old Dog Lin?"

"That's right. Killing us in the city made a lot of noise, and he didn't end well. That's why he forced us out of the city and then killed him."

"Then we were fooled by him, and we knew we shouldn't leave the city." The two cursed in a low voice.

"It's useless. Wu Tong has already sealed the office of the Tiju Department. He has already torn his face. Naturally, he will not let us enter the office. If we are 'protected' by Wu Tong in the name of protection, It's even more like waiting to die. No matter what, it is inevitable for us to leave the city. It's just that Lin Hailu's plan has been broken by me, and it will not be easy to kill me." Du Ruhui smiled coldly.

"Master Du has any regulations, draw them down, let's fight with them." The two muffled.

"No need. I already have an idea here, and I'm sure they won't even have a chance to do it." Du Ruhui smiled lightly, and whispered his idea.

After the two listened quietly, Ah-Dai said with some embarrassment: "Master Du, is it too risky? How about counting me?"

Du Ruhui waved his hand and said, "No, this can only be done in this way. One more person will be more dangerous. Right now we are not far from the city, and there are many people coming and going here, so it's not convenient for them to do anything, just wait for us If you go a little farther, they must do it. You two can do as I want, don’t worry, nothing will happen, if you make decisions without authorization, it will only kill me, do you understand? ”

Seeing that Du Ruhui had made up his mind, the two could only nod their heads and said, "Okay, let's make arrangements."

A group of people came down from the stone hillock and turned into the post road.A carriage that could not enter the city was stopped on the side of the road, and Du Ruhui was given a ride.Walking around the city gate far away, he walked slowly to the north.

After walking not far, Du Ruhui waved in the car, and called Duan to stop, "It's safe now, the people in Mr. He's house, give 20 taels each, and let them go back on their own."

The four guards of the He Mansion took orders together, tidied up briefly, and slowly left the team, turned their horses around, and rode back slowly on the same road.

Because they had to arrive at the 'Liu Town' for accommodation before dark, the brigade turned to the official road to the north and then sped up their speed a little.

Zhang Chong is He Haotian's registered disciple, and at this time he is taking a rest by the woods with seventeen or eight guards from the Lin Mansion.

A fast horse crossed the path and came running from the end of the road.The visitor didn't have time to get off the horse, so he stood on the horse and cupped his hands, "Boss, they are heading north, and they seem to be going back to Jinling."

"Back to Jinling? It's already this time of day, and they have to cross the Wujiang River. At most, they can only go to Liuliu Town. Well, they can't be allowed to enter the town! If they recover, they don't know what will happen. Let's go, Let's take the path and rush to set up an ambush in front of them." Zhang Chong made up his mind and got on his horse.Da Ma went around in a circle, and said to Tan Ma: "You four, hang them well, don't show their whereabouts, how are they flying this time. Let's go, finish the work early, and let's go to the town to have a good time. .”

Everyone laughed, they were already on their horses, followed Zhang Zhong, and crossed the path.
