Sui and Tang Dynasties: Engagement to Li Xiuning, start with heavy snow dragon ride

At this moment, there was a knock on the door!

Everyone looked at each other and held their breath. After Cui Xian was relieved, the dead man held the handle of the knife and drew it an inch.

Liu Fei made a silent gesture and shouted:

"It's a big night, who is it!"

"Boss! It's me, it's bad! Cui Jin is gone! Someone from above has come to question you, and everyone is waiting for you!"

"There are forbidden troops everywhere in the city now, follow me to have a look!"

The old jailer who had a good relationship with Liu Fei shouted anxiously outside the door.

All he can think about now is to escape from here quickly. If such a big event happens, all the guards in the prison will suffer.

He was about to quit. If something like this happened, he might not be safe at the end of the year.

"What nonsense, Cui Jin ran away? He is in the deepest place, how could he escape? I think you have drunk too much, you are confused!"

"Go away, don't bother me, I just got a beauty here, and you come to make trouble, are you taking revenge on me?"

Liu Fei said angrily, with a tone of complete disbelief.

The old jailer became even more anxious when he heard that, but there was still a woman inside, and he was too embarrassed to go in directly, so he could only shout bitterly outside the door:

"Boss! It's true! I didn't drink, you go, if you go late, the boss will blame you, it's not a joke!"

Liu Fei looked anxiously at Cui Xianjie, how could he go back at this time?

In case of cheating, there will be no chance to explain, and I will just burp.

Cui Xian gave him a look, Liu Fei understood, and shouted:

"What! I really ran away! Go over and have a look, I'll change clothes and come right away!"

Hearing Liu Fei's voice, the old jailer really wanted to go with him, and he wanted to learn more information on the way.

Today he was on the morning shift, and he would go back at that o'clock, but Liu Fei was still inside when he left, so he might have seen some suspicious characters.

On the way, the two of them can still discuss it. If they can deduce the perpetrator, they can do meritorious service without saying anything!

Thinking that there were still women inside, Liu Fei was probably embarrassed, so the old jailer responded immediately and had to leave first.

Several people waited for a while to confirm that the old jailer had gone far away, and Liu Fei became anxious.

"Master Cui, what should I do, there are still two hours before Maoshi, if I don't show up, I will be suspected."

"When the time comes, the forbidden army will rush in, and we will get the stolen goods!"

The Cui family did not speak, and the best thing at the moment was of course Liu Fei to go.

Only in this way, Liu Fei, a pawn, had to be discarded.

It doesn't matter if it's a small person, it's just that this person is too smart, and if he feels that he has been abandoned, will he tell his plan.

It's not worth ruining tomorrow's plans.

Liu Fei must be kept.

"Don't worry, you can only leave now, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Cui Xianjie looked at Cui Jin and said solemnly.

Liu Fei was dumbfounded, while Cui Jin said in doubt:

"Second Uncle, where else can we go now? They must have gone to the Cui Mansion immediately, and it's not safe for us to go back."

Cui Xian glanced at the two dead men behind him, and then said:

"The two of them will escort you to the city gate. With them protecting you, you will be fine on the road. You can run as far as you can!"

Liu Fei immediately jumped up and exclaimed:

"Master Cui! Absolutely not! As far as I know, the manpower of the two men at the gate of the city has increased, and we will undoubtedly go there like a wolf!"

"There must be a way! We can dig a tunnel and hide it first!"

Chapter 378 Another Old Fox

"There is a hill behind my house, no one will go there, I will dig it!"

Cui Xianjie and Cui Jin ignored him, looking at the latter's puzzled eyes, Cui Xianjie explained:

"I have already made arrangements. You go there first, and someone will pick you up. Time is limited. Go out and run directly. We will meet again when things are over."

Cui Jin believed in Cui Xianjie for no reason, and nodded, Cui Xianjie said to Liu Fei:

"You leave with Cui Jin, I don't worry about him being alone, you take good care of him, I promise you, I will do it."

Liu Fei was no longer in a hurry at this time, he just stared wide-eyed, secretly admiring Cui Xianjie in his heart, it seemed that he had already prepared in advance.

It's amazing, even the guards of the city gate can handle it.

"You protect the young master well, and you must send it out safely. Before the meeting, you will temporarily follow the young master."

"Yes!"

Seeing the backs of the four people going away, Cui Xianjie turned his head and looked in the direction of the prison, narrowing his eyes slightly.

There was no one around, so Cui Xianjie rushed all the way to Cui's mansion.

On the way, I met the guard of the imperial sword who was interrogated. Although his appearance was suspicious and his identity was very impressive, but because there was no conclusive evidence, he had to let him go.

As soon as he returned to Cui's mansion, he saw that the door boy guarding the door had turned into a guard with a knife.

"It's Cui Xianxie! Boss, Cui Xianxie is back!"

The guard at the door yelled inside, and a leader of the forbidden army came out in a hurry, and said in a deep voice:

"Lord Cui, Chang Biao, the leader of the Imperial Forest Army, why isn't your lord in the mansion at this late hour?"

A group of people came out from behind Changbiao, led by Cui Rende.

"You rebellious son! You know you're causing trouble all day long, so tell your lord what you're doing! Tell me!"

Before Cui Xian could reply, Cui Rende's irritable voice came over.

"Father calm down, the child is just..."

Cui Xian was stuttering and stammering, with a guilty conscience, he faltered for a long time but didn't say anything.

"Master Cui, there is a very serious prison robbery case. We are also acting according to the order. I hope you can report it truthfully."

Chang Biao narrowed his eyes, and the dozen or so guards around him were holding the knife handle, and they were instantly on guard.

Seeing this, Cui Xianjie waved his hands again and again:

"This matter has nothing to do with me. I, I seldom come to the capital. I have long heard that the oiran in the capital is as beautiful as a flower, like a fairy descending from the earth. I will, I will..."

Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw the expression of understanding.

Men, it's normal to be a little curious.

Chang Biao frowned and asked:

"Which oiran is Master Cui looking for, and why did he return home halfway?"

More than ten years of experience as an official told him that Cui Xianjie was lying.

It is very common for officials from other places to come to the capital to find the oiran at night, but they usually just stay overnight in the room.

It is almost impossible to return home in the middle of the night.

What's more, the Cui family is the most suspected at this time. Cui Rong and Cui Jin of the Cui family are currently in prison. As the successors of the next patriarch, they are not in charge of the overall situation in the mansion at this time, which is very strange.

More importantly, it wasn't the first day Cui came here, so why didn't he come sooner or later, why did he have to come at this time.

Of course, he would not ask such a question, and even if he did, he would not be able to answer it in the end.

Don't just do other people's affairs whenever you want.

The answers and results of the three doubts cannot be notarized in court.

"Commander Chang, the Imperial Forest Army can't control this matter. Our Cui family is also a noble family after all. You have no right to intervene in these matters."

Cui Xianjie said something lightly and wanted to get away with it.

"Sir Commander tells you to say it! How can there be so much nonsense, what kind of gentry is not a gentry, the Cui family is about to fall!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Rende immediately cursed at Cui Xian.

It's just that these words sounded in Yu Linjun's heart, and they meant pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

The tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs?

But Chang Biao is a general, and he doesn't know the crumpled rhetoric of civil servants, so he said sharply:

"Master Cui, Lord Cui, we are just following His Majesty's order to thoroughly investigate the case of Cui Jin being robbed. Naturally, Mrs. Cui is seriously suspected."

"Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night. If you want to prove your innocence, then answer truthfully."

"Alternatively, I can also bring you to Jingzhao Mansion, and let Mr. Fu Yin personally interrogate you."

Jingzhao Mansion, upon hearing this name, Cui Rende's expression changed slightly on the spot.

Damn martial artist, he has no manners at all, this is going to have to go back and forth with you, if you say a few more words, don't you just tell you?

Among the many forces in the capital, only the Jingzhao Mansion and their Cui family are deadly enemies.

Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty did not have this institution during his reign. After Yang Zhao ascended the throne, he built the Jingzhao Mansion and took charge of Chang'an City and its surrounding 22 cities.

The point is, Jingzhao Fu Yin belongs to Xu Maogong.

Handing it over to him is equivalent to handing it over to Yang Zhao directly, which is no different from courting death.

"Commander Chang, what are you doing? I'm looking for Oiran Ah Qing from Baoqingfang. You can send someone to inquire. As for why you came back suddenly..."

Speaking of this, Cui Xianjie looked at Cui Rende who was on the side.

Cui Rende immediately cursed: "Look what I'm doing, if the adults tell you to say it, just say it!"

Only then did Cui Xianjie helplessly explain:

"I came back because someone from my family sent a letter, saying that Nephew Cui was robbed of prison, and someone from the palace came, so come back quickly."

"You two, go to Baoqingfang and ask."

Chang Biao casually pointed to the two guards and said.

"Yes!"

After the guards left, Changbiao didn't speak for a while, he was thinking.

After a while, he waved to the two people watching the gate, and the latter said something in his ear, Chang Biao asked:

"Your servants have never left the mansion, and my subordinates have never seen anyone leave the mansion."

At this time, Changbiao had basically decided that this matter was related to Cui Xianxie in front of him.

It doesn't make sense for someone to tip off the news, so there is only Feige passing on the letter.

He was waiting for Cui Xian to explain this sentence.

"They came to the capital for the first time, and Baoqingfang is not a place that Cui Rong often goes to. Naturally, it is impossible to raise pigeons there. The transmission of the letter can only be passed on by Cui Xian. If he dares to say it, it is tantamount to exposing the fact that he robbed the prison. .”

Changbiao secretly thought that as long as Cui Xian explained it, he would arrest him immediately.

"It's through the back door."

At this time, a deep voice came from the crowd, and everyone looked back, it was an old man.

"The younger one is the housekeeper of Cui's residence. Not long after seeing the official came in, he began to look for the second master. The younger one sent someone to deliver a message through the back door."

Chang Biao looked this old man up and down. He was nearly sixty years old, but his eyes were full of energy.

According to his experience, he judged in his heart that he was another old fox.

Not easy to deal with.

These literary people are the most difficult to deal with.

Since Chang Biao took office, his task has often been to come to question civil officials, and he knows how difficult these people are.
