Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 136 The Inspector’s Corruption Case (2)

Du He briefly looked at the account book, and then checked the voucher in the guard's hand. Du He was already furious.

"Xi Bian, governor of Cangzhou, and Li Taibian, magistrate of Changlu county, are too bold to accept bribes in disregard of the law."

"You will not spare them lightly. You follow us back to Chang'an and report this matter to His Highness the Crown Prince! His Highness the Crown Prince will decide." Du He said angrily.

Du He let go of the inspector, treated his wound, and pulled out the arrow.

"I don't know who is your Excellency?" asked the inspector who was let go.

"This is my family's second son, Du He! Princess He Chengyang." A guard said a lot.

The inspector was shocked, he didn't expect that he would meet the consort and the princess here, he hastily saluted and said: "I have seen the princess, I have seen the consort."

"You don't need to say anything, follow me back to the city immediately." After Du He finished speaking, he asked the inspector to get on the carriage, and returned to the city with the two of them in the carriage.

The situation is urgent now, and the killer may appear at any time, they must send the inspector to Chang'an City as soon as possible to meet the prince, so they don't care about the etiquette.

"Go back to the city!" Du He looked out of the car window and ordered.

The guards immediately escorted the carriage and turned around and returned to Chang'an City.

Several figures flashed in the forest, watching the carriage go away, feeling unwilling.

"Damn it! It was so close to stopping him! In the end, he let him run away."

"The duck that reached its mouth flew away, how can I explain to the lord this time?"

The men in black talked a lot.

"Okay! Stop arguing! Why are you arguing!" The leader scolded: "Immediately inform the other brothers that they must stop the carriage before they enter the city no matter what, and kill them at all costs." According to the envoy."

"No!" A man in black responded, and immediately went to signal the people who were ambushing near Chang'an City.

"Go! Let's catch up!" The leader of the man in black waved his hand, and led his men to chase after Du He and his party.

In order to prevent the inspectors from entering Chang'an City, Cangzhou Inspector Xi Bian made double preparations, not only sending people to chase and kill them, but also sending people to lurk near Chang'an.

Even if the inspector can escape the pursuit, it is difficult to escape the assassins lurking outside the city.

It's a pity! People are not as good as heaven, no matter how good Xi Bian's plan is, he would never have thought that the person he wanted to kill would meet Du He and his wife.

The carriage galloped all the way towards Chang'an City. In order to report this matter to Li Chengqian as soon as possible, Du He made people spare no effort to drive the horse to run fast.

"Look, is that group of people in the distance the target we want to intercept?" The lurker hiding in the dark pointed to Du He and his party who were coming towards them.

"Looking at them rushing forward in such a hurry, with guards guarding them, they should be right!"

"Brother! Come on, the target is on that carriage." The lurker came out, blocked the middle of the road, and stopped Du He and his party.

"Who are you? Why don't you get out of the way quickly? If you startle the nobles in the car, can you bear it?" The head of the guard pointed at the group of people who suddenly jumped out and shouted.

Since someone dared to attack the carriage of the princess and her son-in-law not far from Chang'an City in broad daylight, he really had the guts of a bear.

"We are the officials who are arresting fugitives. Now we suspect that you are hiding important criminals. Immediately let the people in the car get out of the car to check, otherwise they will be punished as fellow party members and executed on the spot." One person stood up and said directly to the carriage.

"Bold!" The head of the guards scolded angrily: "You can see the nobles in the car as soon as you say, don't say what kind of officials you are, even if you are the imperial army, you don't search whenever you want."

These lurkers don't want to talk nonsense with him at all, this is the capital, if the soldiers and horses of the capital are disturbed, they will be finished.

"Kill!" The lurker leader gave an order, and everyone drew out their weapons and killed them.

"Protect your son!" The guard leader shouted, leaving some people behind to protect Du He and the others in the carriage, while he led the rest of the guards to meet him.

The two sides were fighting together, the sounds of weapons clashing and shouts of killing could be heard endlessly.

"Continuing like this is not an option. We must send people to break out and lure the Jinwu Guard soldiers here. Otherwise, we will suffer losses if it takes too long." Du He lifted the curtain and said, looking at the situation outside.

The opponent has more people than their own, and there may be chasing soldiers later. If there is no reinforcements, they will have to explain here.

"This place is not far from Chang'an, I believe someone will find out what's going on here soon, and we will be saved by then." Princess Chengyang said.

Princess Chengyang felt that this place was not far from Chang'an City, and if a fight happened here, it would definitely attract the attention of the Jinwu Guards in the city, and they would definitely rush over to check the situation.

Du He was not as optimistic as Princess Chengyang, and he was afraid that it would be too late.

"Even if the Jinwu Guards in the city notice this place, they may not come to rescue us immediately. They must first find out what happened here."

"When they send people to investigate, and then send troops over, I'm afraid we're all dead here, and besides, there might be their pursuers behind."

"So we can't sit here and wait for death, we must take the initiative to have a chance of survival." Du He said.

"My son-in-law, I'm afraid!" After Du He said this, Princess Chengyang felt the seriousness of the matter, her face paled with fright, and she stretched out her hand to grab Du He's hand.

"Princess, don't be afraid! With me, Du He, I will never let anyone hurt you. If you want to hurt the princess, you have to step over my corpse." Du He said, holding the princess's hand tightly.

"It's all the lower officials who brought the princess and the son-in-law into trouble. It's really a heinous crime!" the inspector said in shame.

If it wasn't for him, the princess and the son-in-law would not have been persecuted by the gangsters. He felt very guilty.

"It's not your fault! You don't have to blame yourself!" Du He said a few words of consolation, and said to the guards outside through the car window: "Take a few people and rush out immediately, ask the Jinwu Guard in Chang'an City for help, and let the Jinwu Guard rush out immediately." come over."

"However, if we go, who will protect the young master and the princess, if there is any mistake, the subordinates will not be able to atone for their sins with a hundred deaths." The guard asked.

If they leave, the power to protect the princess will weaken. What if the enemy takes the opportunity to kill her?What to resist.

"Stop talking nonsense. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to us. The only way to have hope is to bring in reinforcements. Every quarter of an hour's delay will be more dangerous." Du He was annoyed. What time is it, and he is still here writing with him.

"It's Young Master! You, and you, break out with me." The guard took the order and called the two of them to charge out together.

The three of them clamped the horse's belly with their legs, afraid of hitting the horse's buttocks, they rushed out. The other party didn't pay attention for a moment, but they rushed out smoothly and headed for Chang'an City.
