Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 112
Yu Daoxiang said: "Okay! This matter is up to you, tonight."

Qian Ning was overjoyed, and said respectfully: "Saint, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely let Li Junhao leave Xiangfubo before dawn tomorrow morning."

Sizhou, on the canal next to Hongze Lake, on the edge of the sluice construction site in full swing, Dou Shihai was sweating profusely, leading most of Sizhou's officials to run around, even with some mud on his body, his face was darker than ten days ago a lot.

Wu Gang, the governor of Sizhou, followed Dou Shihai not far away, with a listless face. Every time he looked at the prefect Dou Shihai, his eyes were full of complaints and hidden deep sarcasm.

"Master Zhifu is so devoted to this sluice. It seems that we must not raise enough food in Sizhou. However, this deal is also a good deal. After all, there are not many such opportunities. As long as we secretly hoard 20 shi of food, At least [-] guan of income. Send [-] guan to Zhao Xianggong afterwards, and then add the merit of building the sluice. Not only will you not be punished for not raising enough food, but you will also befriend Zhao Xianggong further, and you will not be able to use it. In a few years, Lord Dou will be promoted to be an official in the capital. It’s so tricky!" Wu Gang sighed in his heart, feeling that he was far inferior to Lord Zhifu in terms of being an official, and he still had a lot to learn.

"It's just that you have to show that you need the power of this sluice, so don't pull me! It's really depressing. It will take at least ten and a half months to build this sluice. Such a hard life will take at least ten days!" Wu Gang complained in his heart.Since becoming an official, he has never suffered this kind of pain.

At this moment, Deng Sanyang, the head catcher who was staying at the magistrate's yamen in Sizhou City, ran towards him from a distance.

"My lord, it's a good thing!" Deng Sanyang glanced at the prefect who was more than 20 steps away, saluted Wu Gang, and said in a low voice.

Wu Gang held a banana fan in his hand and slammed it fiercely, and said angrily, "What's the matter?"

Deng Sanyang said: "My lord, I just got the news. A few years ago, the culprit of the murder case in Sichuan and Shu came to our Sizhou City. Just now, a Sichuan and Shu businessman recognized him by accident. The head catcher who was passing by heard it. Just now, my subordinates searched out the portrait of the thief when he filed the record, concealed his identity and went to the inn where the thief stayed to inquire secretly, and it was undoubtedly the thief. My lord, such a huge criminal has been caught, It is also a great achievement for you to report to the imperial court. My lord, this opportunity is rare, and my subordinates have already sent people to watch over that inn, when do you think we will do it?"

Wu Gang's listless face suddenly disappeared, and his face was full of joy at seeing the prey.As Deng Sanyang said, as long as people are caught, Deng Sanyang will naturally make a great contribution, but he is his direct superior and is in charge of Sizhou criminal law, which itself is also his contribution.

Without hesitation, Wu Gang walked quickly to the side of Dou Shihai, who was instructing several small officials to supervise the hard work, and told what Deng Sanyang said.

Like Wu Gang, Dou Shihai was overjoyed when he heard it, even more excited than Wu Gang. He needs all kinds of credits at this time, and the construction of a sluice alone cannot completely offset the crime of insufficient food collection.If he was able to catch the culprit in the Miemen case under his rule, it would be more or less a credit, and then he would exaggerate and frame the culprit as coming to Sizhou to hoard food for personal gain, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Dou Shihai's eyes flickered, and he said: "Okay, Mr. Wu, you go back to the city quickly, arrange manpower, and make sure to arrest that huge criminal."

Wu Gang readily agreed, and then quickly drove to Sizhou City with Deng Sanyang in a carriage.

Sizhou City, Sihong Inn.

After Li Junhao and his two subordinates settled down, considering Ye Chen's safety, he didn't rest in the room, let alone go out to wander around the city.Instead, he dutifully sat in the lobby on the first floor of the inn, ordered two small dishes, drank some wine, and paid attention to everyone entering and leaving the inn.

Li Junhao and his two subordinates are veterans of the old world, and after a while, they really discovered the problem.

They quickly discovered six suspicious people who were monitoring the inn, and even discovered that a large part of their attention was on Li Junhao.

"Guard master! They are from the government." On Li Junhao's right hand, a middle-aged man with a faint scar on his face said in a low voice.This person's name is Xu Fangyi, and he is very observant, especially good at judging a person's identity.This time when Li Junhao went south, he deliberately took him with him.

Li Junhao didn't have the slightest doubt about the middle-aged man's judgment, and his expression didn't change much. He just nodded his head imperceptibly, but was secretly surprised in his heart.

"Could it be that the identity of the Sir has been exposed, and the Yamen of the prefect of Sizhou has already learned about it?"

"But why didn't the magistrate of Sizhou come to visit in person? Could it be that he wanted to pretend not to know, and then spy on the Lord?"

What Li Junhao thought of immediately was not that his identity was recognized, let alone that he came for the crime he committed five years ago.Because after all, the time was too long, during this period, the people from the government never found him, let alone arrested him.

Therefore, the first thing he thought of was that these government officials were coming for Ye Chen.

After finishing the wine in the glass, Li Junhao signaled, the two subordinates continued to stare, and got up to go up to the second floor of the inn.

Ye Chen is studying the map near Sizhou that the guards bought just now, and then confirming it with the geographical terrain of the later generations in his memory, and by the way, confirming the route for the next few days.

At this moment, the guard at the gate reported that it was Li Junhao asking to see him.

Ye Chen asked Li Junhao to come in and greeted each other, Li Junhao told what he had just discovered.

After Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said: "Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived in Sizhou City, I was recognized by someone, most likely it was a portrait of my face. The soldiers guarding the various city gates have confessed. From this point of view, the prefect of Sizhou is extremely cautious in his actions. Of course, it also shows that he does have ghosts in his heart. But it’s still the same sentence, as long as he builds the sluice, I don’t bother to pay attention to it. Him. A lack of food for him will not affect the overall situation."

Li Junhao nodded, and said: "I understand, what Sir Sir means is to ignore him, we should do whatever we want."

Ye Chen nodded and said yes, Li Junhao got up and was about to leave when suddenly another guard knocked on the door and brought in the dignified Xu Fangyi.

"My lord, the leader of the clan! People from the government are not coming for the lord, but for the leader of the clan." Xu Fangyi said in a deep voice after saluting.

Ye Chen was taken aback, Li Junhao's pupils shrank, and he said, "How did this news come about?"

Xu Fangyi said: "This subordinate felt something was wrong just now, so he pretended to inquire about a famous brothel in Sizhou, pulled the inn waiter aside, stuffed him with money, and asked him if anyone has inquired about our situation since we moved in. As a result, the little second said that two waves of people came to inquire one after another, and those who inquired were not the lord, but the gang leader. The most important thing is that the second wave actually held a portrait of the gang leader."

Li Junhao heard the change in his face, turned around to look at Ye Chen with a questioning face, and said, "My lord! The villain wiped out an enemy's family in Sichuan and Shu five years ago. In order to avoid being chased by the government, that's why he stayed away from Yongle border city. Look now Come on, someone recognized the villain and reported it to the government. The villain can no longer protect the lord, and now he is leaving Sizhou City. After the lord leaves Sizhou city, the villain will come to meet again. "

Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he thought that Li Junhao deserved to be one of the three overlords of Yongle Border City, and he was indeed a ruthless person.However, it is not a big deal to have an extermination case on him.However, in this way, Li Junhao's identity will be a little troublesome. If someone recognizes him in Sizhou City today, he may be recognized in Kaifeng in the future.

Leaving these days aside, Ye Chen's growing friendship with Li Junhao is aimed at talents like Li Junhao, and the more than 200 loyal killers under his command who have various specialties, Ye Chen can't ignore Li Junhao.

"Anyway, Li Junhao's identity problem needs to be solved completely." Ye Chen thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen pressed Li Junhao back on the chair, who stood up and was about to leave, and said: "Since the identity has been exposed, now the teahouse opposite the inn, the restaurants on both sides, and the crowds of all kinds on the roadside, I am afraid they have already lurked." A large number of arrests. The reason why you didn’t do anything is because you want to lose everything and continue to mobilize more people. If you go out now, they will definitely attack immediately, and you will definitely be surrounded by Sizhou arresters and the Xiang army. Killing. If you are outside the city, with your strength, you can still kill. But inside the city, even if you escape from the encirclement outside the inn, as long as the Sizhou government closes the city gate, you will not be able to leave the city. Where can you escape under the search and arrest of the city?"

Li Junhao's expression did not change, obviously he had already thought of what Ye Chen said.However, Xu Fangyi's face became more and more ugly, and he wanted to say something several times, but looking at Ye Chen, he hesitated to speak.

"But..." Li Junhao said.But before he could say anything, Ye Chen interrupted his words with a wave of his hand, and continued: "You came to Sizhou to protect me. Now that you are in danger, I don't care. Besides, you are with me, This matter must not be concealed from the Sizhou government. My identity will definitely be revealed eventually, so you don’t have to worry about it. Well... this disguise mask, you can wear it now, and then borrow one from Li Zhong and the others. Put on the clothes of the guards in the house, stay with my guards, and leave the rest to me!"

Li Junhao took the exquisite small box from Ye Chen, opened it, his eyes lit up, and he said in a low voice, "Human leather mask!"

He gently picked up the things in the small box, looked at them a few times, and said in amazement: "I have heard of such a refined and complete human leather mask before, and I always thought it was just a legend. I never thought that I could see it with my own eyes today. What you can see, the Sir is indeed very powerful."
