Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little bit every day

This official, named Zhao Xin, is one of the officials responsible for managing public security and personnel movement in the city.

Although he is not a high-ranking official, he has extensive power and connections in the city. For Fang Yue, Zhao Xin is undoubtedly an ideal partner.

After the wealthy businessman found Zhao Xin, he did not directly mention the matter between Fang Yue and those women. Instead, he chatted with Zhao Xin about some insignificant topics to narrow the distance between them.

After the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, the wealthy businessman carefully made his request: "Sir Zhao, I have something to ask for. Can you help me?"

Xin Zhao smiled slightly and said: "After many years of friendship between you and me, what can't be said directly? As long as it is within my ability, I will do my best to help."

The wealthy businessman was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "Thank you, sir! To be honest, I have a batch of goods that I want to leave this city, but due to various reasons, they cannot go out through normal channels. Can you help me find a way? Let the caravan leave the city smoothly? "

Xin Zhao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "This matter is a bit tricky, but it is not completely impossible. You know, the security in the city is strict, and the movement of people needs to go through strict interrogation. If you want to leave with goods smoothly, The city does need some twists and turns.”

The wealthy businessman nodded hurriedly and expressed his understanding: "This is natural, and I also understand your difficulties. As long as I can help solve this problem, I am willing to pay the corresponding price."

Xin Zhao waved his hand, indicating that the wealthy businessman did not have to do this: "Between you and me, it is too much to talk about the price. However, the key to solving this problem lies in the nature and quantity of the goods. If it is just some ordinary goods, I might be able to I’ll find a way to accommodate you, but if it’s contraband or the quantity is huge, it will be difficult.”

The wealthy businessman's heart tightened when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show anything strange on his face: "Don't worry, sir, it's definitely not contraband. It's just some ordinary goods, but for some reason it can't be transported through normal channels. The quantity doesn't count either." Too much and it shouldn’t attract much attention.”

Xin Zhao nodded and expressed his understanding: "In that case, I will try my best to help you make arrangements. However, I cannot guarantee success. After all, you know the situation in the city. Sometimes even I can't do anything."

The wealthy businessman thanked Xin Zhao profusely, expressing his trust and gratitude to Xin Zhao.

Of course, the wealthy businessman still gave Zhao Xin three hundred taels of silver to express his gratitude.

After the wealthy businessman left, a person walked out of the inner room: "Mr. Zhao, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this person, maybe related to the women who were robbed in the dungeon! How can you write a letter for him and let him leave the city!"

Xin Zhao did not look at the man, but said slowly: "Otherwise, how can we let the man behind the scenes reveal his true identity! If we really arrest him now, I'm afraid it will scare the snake and allow the prisoner to escape!"

When the man heard Xin Zhao's explanation, he had a look of realization on his face.

He said with admiration: "Mr. Zhao, you are so clever! It turns out that you had a plan a long time ago and deliberately relaxed your vigilance against the wealthy businessman, so that the forces behind him would show up.

In this way, we can follow the clues and catch them all! "

Xin Zhao smiled slightly, nodded and said, "That's right. This wealthy businessman suddenly proposed to transport goods out of the city. There must be something fishy behind it.

Moreover, the woman who was robbed in the dungeon is also inseparable from this matter. I deliberately let my guard down to make him think that we had taken the bait, and the person behind him would naturally reveal his flaws.

When the time comes, we will investigate secretly and we will surely be able to reveal the truth behind this. "

The man praised: "Master Zhao is really smart and resourceful. I admire you, I admire you!"

Xin Zhao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be polite.

He knew in his heart that this fight had just begun, and he had to remain calm and vigilant in order to deal with various situations that might arise next.

At the same time, he is also confident in his plan and believes that he will be able to uncover the conspiracy behind it and bring those lawbreakers to justice.

"However, I heard that the man who robbed the dungeon is very skilled in martial arts. I'm afraid he won't be easy to deal with!"

After hearing this, Xin Zhao sneered and continued: "Hmph, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are just a mortal body.

Even if he has three heads and six arms, can he still defeat the elite soldiers and generals in our city? What's more, Master Shen also brought the prince's most elite troops this time. They are all warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles and have strong martial arts skills.

As soon as they show up, the prisoner will never escape our grasp. "

"Besides," a hint of cunning flashed in Xin Zhao's eyes, "we are not unprepared. I have arranged a team of elite soldiers to closely monitor the wealthy businessman's every move in secret.

As long as he dares to act rashly, we will take him down immediately. At that time, if you follow the clues, you will naturally be able to reveal the truth behind it. "

After hearing this, the man immediately felt relieved and praised: "Master Zhao is indeed foresighted and has made complete preparations. With you and Master Shen in charge, we will definitely be able to sit back and relax!"

Xin Zhao shook his head: "You can't say too much. Since this prisoner can rob people from the dungeon without anyone noticing, it shows that he is indeed quite capable. We cannot take it lightly and must always remain vigilant. . Moreover, this matter involves the prince, so we must be more careful and ensure nothing goes wrong."

In the days that followed, Xin Zhao actively prepared for the wealthy businessman to leave the city, while secretly investigating the wealthy businessman's background and whereabouts.

At the same time, he also maintained close contact with Mr. Shen to discuss response strategies.

As the rebels planned, an invisible net began to wrap around Fang Yue.

The wealthy businessman is ready and everything seems to be normal.

Under Fang Yue's close supervision, the team disguised as an ordinary caravan quietly assembled and prepared to take the women out of the city.

These women were cleverly hidden in the cargo. They looked like ordinary cargo, but in fact they hid important secrets.

Xin Zhao also secretly stepped up inspections at the city gate, ostensibly to maintain law and order in the city, but actually to monitor the caravan's actions more closely.

Before setting off, the wealthy businessman came specially to say goodbye to Zhao Xin.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Mr. Zhao, everything is ready. We can set off early tomorrow morning. I am able to leave the city smoothly this time, thanks to your help, I am very grateful!"

Xin Zhao smiled slightly and said: "I'm serious. The friendship between you and me has lasted for many years, so this little thing is nothing. I just hope you have a smooth journey and reach your destination safely."

The wealthy businessman thanked him profusely, but he was secretly proud of himself.

He thought he had successfully deceived Xin Zhao, but he did not know that Xin Zhao had already understood his conspiracy.

As night fell, the inspections at the city gate gradually relaxed.

The team disguised as a caravan quietly set out under the cover of night and slowly marched out of the city.

The elite soldiers and generals that Xin Zhao had already arranged followed closely behind, secretly monitoring their every move.

~~~~

Early the next morning.

Just as the caravan was about to arrive at the city gate, something unexpected happened.

The city gate defenders suddenly intensified their efforts to inspect the caravans leaving the city, as if they had already received some kind of news.

The wealthy businessman was shocked when he saw this, and quickly urged the team to move faster, trying to take advantage of the chaos and get out of the city gate.

However, their actions aroused even more suspicion among the defenders.

The garrison general gave an order, and the soldiers quickly surrounded the caravan.

"Stop! Get checked!" the garrison general shouted loudly.

The wealthy businessman was already riding a tiger, unable to get off, so he could only bite the bullet and step forward to deal with it.

He said with a smile on his face: "General, we are all serious businessmen, and we transport ordinary goods. Do you think it would be convenient for us to leave the city quickly?"

The garrison general gave him a cold look and said, "Whether it's ordinary cargo or not, we won't know until we check it. Come here, search it carefully for me!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't you know that this is the Li family's caravan? Mr. Zhao has specially asked that this batch of goods be sent to Fucheng as soon as possible. Don't inspect it and release it as soon as possible!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes walked out of the crowd. He held Xin Zhao's token and shouted at the officers and soldiers guarding the city. This man was the "rescue" arranged by the wealthy businessman. He was holding Xin Zhao's token, intending to let the defender generals pass.

When the garrison general saw the token, he immediately frowned. He naturally recognizes this token, it is indeed Zhao Xin's token.

However, he had some doubts in his heart: Mr. Zhao didn't mention this arrangement yesterday?

He pondered for a moment, then raised his hands and said: "My lord, please wait a moment. The duty of the humble post is to check all caravans leaving the city. But since there is Mr. Zhao's token, the humble post will naturally let them go. Young men, let in. Get out of the way and let them go.”

The wealthy businessman and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Soon, the caravan left the city smoothly.

Xiahe County, fifty miles to the east, has undulating terrain, mountains, and lush trees. There is a small road here that winds and leads deeper into the valley.

It was dusk at this time, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in the mountains and forests. The golden sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, forming mottled light and shadow. A breeze blew by, and the leaves rustled, as if they were telling something.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, breaking the tranquility of the mountain forest. I saw a group of men in black riding fast horses, galloping along the path. All of them had expressionless faces, cold eyes, and a chilling air exuding from all over their bodies.

This group of men in black is the elite force sent by Xin Zhao. They have been following the wealthy merchant's caravan in secret, waiting for the opportunity to catch them all. At this moment, they finally waited for this opportunity.

Soon after the caravan left the city, they came to this mountain forest. Due to the complex terrain and rugged mountain roads here, the caravan had to slow down a lot. This also gave the man in black an opportunity.

"Quick! Surround them!" The leader of the men in black gave the order, and everyone immediately spread out and surrounded the caravan.

The men in black were all highly skilled in martial arts and agile. Like tigers descending from the mountain, they launched a fierce attack on the caravan.

The men and horses of the caravan were unable to withstand their attack and were quickly defeated.

Seeing this, the wealthy businessman knew that the situation was over. He tried to take the opportunity to escape, but was chopped to the ground by the leader of the man in black.

"Spare your life! Spare your life!" The wealthy businessman kowtowed to the ground and begged for mercy, but the leader of the men in black ignored his pleas and stepped on his back, saying coldly: "Speak! Who are you? Those people Where is the woman?"

The wealthy businessman was so frightened that he quickly told the truth of the matter.

Of course, the most important thing is to tell in detail how Fang Yue forced him and how he threatened him.

"Those women are in the carriage behind." Finally, the wealthy businessman pointed to the carriage behind with trembling fingers.

Upon hearing this, the leader of the men in black immediately ordered his men to search the carriage.

Soon, the women hidden in the goods were found. After being rescued, they expressed their gratitude to the men in black.

But the leader of the men in black frowned at this moment, because he found that there was no Fang Yue among these women.

"All the women are here, but where is Fang Yue?" The leader of the men in black stared at the rich businessman coldly and asked.

The rich businessman was so scared that he was trembling all over. He said in a trembling voice: "I... I don't know. Fang Yue did not leave the city with us. He... He may still be in the city."

The leader of the men in black frowned when he heard this, and thought to himself: Fang Yue did not leave the city?

Does he have other plans?

The leader of the men in black immediately realized that the situation might be more complicated than they expected.

Fang Yue was not in the caravan, which meant that he might have anticipated their actions or had other escape plans.

This made the leader of the men in black admire Fang Yue's cunning and wit.

He quickly adjusted his strategy, leaving some people to continue to guard the rich businessman and those women to ensure that they would not cause any more trouble, and then led another group of people to quickly return to Xiahe County to report this important situation to Zhao Xin.

The leader of the black-clothed men took some of his men and quickly returned to Xiahe County, wanting to report to Zhao Xin the important situation that Fang Yue was not in the caravan.

However, they did not expect that Fang Yue had already anticipated their actions and set up an ambush on the way.

Just as the leader of the black-clothed men and his party hurried on the road, suddenly, a person appeared at the intersection ahead, and it was Fang Yue.

The leader of the black-clothed men secretly said in his heart that it was not good, and they had been blocked by Fang Yue.

"Who are you?" The leader of the black-clothed men looked at Fang Yue and asked coldly.

Fang Yue smiled coldly, and the long sword in his hand flashed coldly in the sun, "Aren't you looking for me? Why, now that you see me, you don't recognize me?"

The leader of the black-clothed men was shocked. Their mission this time was to track down and capture Fang Yue, but they didn't expect him to appear on his own initiative.

However, the leader of the men in black was also experienced. He quickly calmed down and looked at Fang Yue and the people behind him.

Fang Yue was alone, while they had dozens of people. The leader of the men in black couldn't help but feel a little proud.

He said coldly: "Fang Yue, you are very courageous. You dare to come to me. However, you can't escape today!"

As he said that, he waved his hand, and the men in black behind him immediately launched an attack and rushed towards Fang Yue and his men.
