Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 318 Prohibition
However, things didn’t always go so smoothly. When Hong Hao’an and the others were packing their luggage and preparing to leave the capital for the pier in a carriage, they had just settled the bill and hadn’t reached the gate of the city. Followed by a group of soldiers in uniform with long knives walking at a rapid pace, their direction was the east gate of the capital.

Pedestrians on the street gave way one after another, and the coachman hurriedly stopped the carriage and leaned against the side of the street. After the soldiers passed by, the frightened common people began to discuss in a low voice. A group of seals were sealed, and the buzzing sounded incessantly.

Puhuang let go of his mental power, collected the contents of the discussion, and got a few pieces of news from it. One is the possibility of the forbidden city in the capital, and the other is to arrest fugitives. It was just right, leaving the capital at this time, stopping on the road for one night, just in time for Lu's boat to set sail in the afternoon of the second day.

The longer you stay in the capital, the more disturbing you will be. There are always things that are beyond your control.

However, their luck was really bad. When they arrived at the gate of the city, the main gate was closed, and the small gates on both sides were only allowed to enter but not to exit. There were already many people waiting by the side, all of them were frowning. Looking at the carriage beside them, They are all common or popular goods in the capital but rare in the south, and they are ready for business.

Hong Hao'an got out of the car at the entrance of the alley some distance away from the city gate, asked the businessmen for news, and moved closer to the gate of the city, trying to see if he could get some information from the soldiers. Some useful news, before he even opened his mouth, he was expelled by the soldiers.

Back on the carriage, Hong Haoan's complexion was not very good, "I have inquired about it, and the city is indeed going to be closed, and only entry is not allowed, and the vegetables, fruits, meat, etc. that are needed in the city every day can only be transported outside the city. The people in the yamen arrange to sell them to appropriate merchants."

Pu Huang frowned, "Let's go back, I hope the inn won't be searched every day." What happened, the management is so strict, and these soldiers are well-trained, and they don't bully the people casually. Accepting bribes, and the height, weight, and gait movements of those soldiers are almost the same. It can be seen that after strict selection and training, they should be elite soldiers.

There were quite a few carriages going back, but because the number of pedestrians increased and the speed was slower, it took more time to return to the inn than to leave.Fortunately, the room I lived in before is still there, and the shopkeeper has been cured of migraines for many years by Huangfu Yixin, so he gave a big discount and asked Xiao Er to help deliver the luggage up, and promised to find out the news, and set the date Notify at once.

Huangfu stayed in the inn with all his heart, but he went out this morning with his disciples, and he hasn't returned yet, even if he wanted to discuss it with someone.After placing Puhuang to lie down, Hong Haoan walked back and forth in the house twice, and decided to take Lu Shan to the street to listen to the news.

For those who are looking forward to returning home, it seems that they are one step away, but a checkpoint falls from the sky, and everyone is extremely depressed.

Although Pu Huang felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, it was best for her to relax in her current physical condition, and with Hong Haoan around, she didn't have to worry about it.

Hong Haoan didn't come back until the sun went down, and not long after, Huangfu Yixin came back with his little apprentice. In the afternoon, all the neighborhoods were notified of a curfew. Before the ban was lifted, they were not allowed to go out at night without reason, unless In case of serious illness or childbirth, a person of high moral character and prestige in the neighborhood must be guaranteed.

If you walk around at night for no reason and get caught, you will be put in prison for a few days and beaten with a board. If you are serious, you will die immediately. Anyone who cherishes their lives knows what to do.

The busiest business district in the eastern part of the capital was deserted in an instant. Occasionally, one or two lights were on, but the lights were no longer bright, and there was no melodious sound of silk and bamboo.The inns are the ones with the most lights. Because there are many merchants and outsiders in the capital, the inns, large and small, are almost full. Not long after the sun set, two yamen servants came to register, and they knocked on the door one by one to identify people.

Puhuang and the others were one of the people who were more strictly interrogated because they were one of the people who were going out of the city in the afternoon, but fortunately they didn't ask too much privacy.For Huangfu Yixin, the two yamen servants were very respectful, they only asked the basics, and then kindly told some precautions.

Dinner is steamed rice with bacon, and a plate of fried vegetables with minced meat, the taste is still in the city.Afterwards, Hong Haoan sat down with Huangfu Yixin to exchange the news they got today.The rumors on the street are mostly personal speculations added, it must be better for Huangfu to go in and out of the general's mansion wholeheartedly and know more.

"Prince Liang was assassinated, and now he is seriously injured in bed. All the imperial physicians in the palace gathered in the palace, and I vaguely learned that the palace was drugged, and the two pet dogs of Concubine Qing were poisoned to death." Huangfu whispered in Hong Hao'an's ear. Whispering, the two finally just dipped in tea and wrote on the table to communicate silently.

Puhuang's mental power has been paying attention to their movements, so he can see them clearly, and wonders in his heart, is it the remnants of the rebels who are causing trouble?But this time, they shouldn't be involved in the center of the storm. Thinking about it, they feel good, at least they don't have to worry too much.

Thinking about it, Puhuang's attention was not concentrated, he didn't pay attention anymore, and he didn't know what conclusion the two big men came to.

On the first night, the capital was shrouded in an atmosphere of uneasiness, and nothing happened overnight. On the second day, I lived my life according to my usual habits in time, and I couldn't help being cautious.Purchasing seems to have become a little easier. Vegetables transported from outside the city are sold by small vendors arranged by the yamen, and they are temporarily concentrated on one street. For a while, it has temporarily become one of the busiest places.

The guards at the other city gates were also quite strict, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that not a single fly could fly out. However, in the evening of the second day, a few teams were dispatched from the military barracks stationed outside the city to guard the gates. On the city wall, it seems that the degree has further aggravated.

Because he couldn't get on the Lu family's boat, he should have told the Lu family out of love and courtesy. At this time, Hong Hao'an learned from shopkeeper Liu that the boats on the other side of the pier were also searched. I can't even leave, but after all, it is not like the capital surrounded by walls, it is much more chaotic, and the ban will probably be lifted sooner.

Regarding this, Hong Haoan also breathed a sigh of relief. According to the time told by shopkeeper Liu, it seems that the ship was not stranded because of a few people, so he didn't feel so guilty. It's just that the city is closed, and the news is that How did it come?
On the third day, several teams of ten soldiers made surprise inspections. The purpose was obvious, mainly a few inns and a few families. I don't know what they found, these soldiers left in a hurry, leaving only the frightened people in an inn.

However, at this moment, Xue Mansion sent someone to find him again, but it was Xue Bo, the reason was simple, it was chaotic outside, it was inconvenient, and it was safer to live in Xue Mansion, the manager's attitude was very respectful, It seems that Hong Hao'an is still regarded as the second young master of the Xue family.

　I set off in the middle of the night last night and didn't sleep. This chapter is only [-]... I'm busy these days, I'll try to update...
