After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

After leaving the room, the smile on Fu Yutang's face disappeared in an instant.

Instead, his face was filled with worry.

Glancing at Wang Dagui beside him, Fu Yutang said worriedly, "Dagui, now they are preparing to close the door and beat the dog, ah bah, it's like catching a turtle in a jar, that's not right, cough cough, anyway, that's about it, what should we do?"

If you say that Wang Dagui can be an undercover agent, then his psychological quality is really strong. Hearing Fu Yutang's words, he was not panicked at all. Instead, he held Fu Yutang's arm and said calmly: "Don't worry, sir. Even if they want to surround us, I can safely take you out of this cannibalistic place!"

"To be honest with you, I accidentally discovered a secret passage in Ji Mansion some time ago, which leads to the East City Market. We will leave through the secret passage later. No matter how many people Ji Xue sends, they can't catch us."

When Fu Yutang heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and he asked with joy, "Really?"

"I dare not deceive you, sir." Wang Dagui said respectfully, and after a pause, he seemed to have some regrets, and lowered his voice and said, "It's a pity that my identity has been exposed now. I'm afraid I can no longer hide in Ji Mansion to gather information for you, sir..."

"It's okay." Fu Yutang didn't care, patted Wang Dagui on the shoulder and said, "Gold shines everywhere. Even if you lose your undercover job, you can still do other things!"

"Oh? I wonder if the master has any new tasks for me to do?" Wang Dagui asked hurriedly, his face full of anticipation for promotion and salary increase.

Facing Wang Dagui's scorching eyes, Fu Yutang was too embarrassed to say that he had made countless enemies. In order not to drag him down, he had already planned to find a suitable opportunity to "release him into the wild" and let him regain his freedom so that he could choose another wise leader.

After thinking for a while, he said, "You have done a great deed in saving me, so I will definitely not treat you unfairly. As for what to do, I haven't thought of it yet, so I'll think of it later. During this time, you should stay with me."

Hearing this, Wang Dagui was not disappointed, but very happy. He said repeatedly: "Yes! Thank you for your appreciation, Dagui will definitely live up to your expectations."

Fu Yutang nodded slightly, as if he was infected by his happy mood, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. He said softly, "It's not suitable to stay here for long. You and I should leave this place quickly!"

"Your Excellency is right. Please follow me."

Wang Dagui led Fu Yutang through the main courtyard, carefully avoiding the searching guards along the way. After turning seven or eight corners, they arrived at an abandoned woodshed that they knew well.

After entering the room, Wang Dagui walked to the corner of the wall and lifted a wooden board. Then, in front of Fu Yutang's surprised eyes, he called her down and said, "There is a vent in this secret passage. My Lord, you don't have to worry about the air circulation problem."

Fu Yutang nodded and went in. Wang Dagui followed behind, stepped on the ladder and restored the wooden board to its original state from the inside, then carefully got down the ladder and very skillfully took out a fire starter from the concave part of the secret passage wall and lit it.

After the whole set of movements, he was so skilled that it seemed like he had done it hundreds of times. Fu Yutang suddenly showed doubts and hesitated, "You seem to be very familiar with Ji Mansion?"

"Yes." Wang Dagui's expression did not change at all. He held up the fire stick and said confidently, "In order to live up to your expectations, I have been familiar with every corner of Ji Mansion since the first day I arrived! To be honest, Ji Mansion is as familiar to me as my own home. I even know how many rat holes there are in this mansion and how many cubs are in the holes!"

Hearing this, Fu Yutang was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. After a while he said, "Then you are really dedicated to your job." You are definitely one of the top ten employees!

"It's my duty." Wang Dagui replied with a smile and led Fu Yutang forward.

In just two quarters of an hour, the two of them appeared in the east city market.

It was the morning market, and the vendors along the street were busy shouting and selling all kinds of goods. From steaming snacks to exquisite handicrafts, each exuded an alluring charm. Pedestrians, wearing all kinds of ancient costumes, shuttled through the narrow alleys, some stopped to watch, or stopped to taste these authentic delicacies, some chatted and laughed, or hurried on their way silently, each immersed in their own world.

Fu Yutang stared with his eyes wide open. Just as he was about to sigh a few words, he caught a glimpse of a group of people wearing red and black yamen uniforms and long swords on their waists walking towards him. Jixue's words suddenly rang in his mind.

——"There are a lot of people out there who want him dead more than we do."

——"Prince Xiang and his men have planted a lot of people in Jingzhao Yin's search team. As long as he shows up, he will be in trouble."

Alarm bells suddenly rang in his heart, and he pulled Wang Dagui beside him to block in front of him. Fu Yutang quietly turned his back and pretended to pick something in front of the stall.

Wang Dagui turned around and looked at her strangely, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" The next second, he saw the group of yamen runners. Seeing that the runners were holding the portrait in their hands, he said in surprise, "Sir, they seem to be looking for you. Let's hurry..." and go over.

"Shh!" Fu Yutang raised his index finger and made a hushed gesture, signaling him not to say anything. "Those people are my enemies."

"Ah?" Wang Dagui was stunned for a moment, a little bit unbelievable, but seeing that Fu Yutang looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, he silently closed his mouth and blocked her.

The two pretended to buy things in front of the stall in an attempt to get away with it, but when the group of yamen runners passed by Fu Yutang, they suddenly stopped.

Fu Yutang only felt a pair of eyes falling on him, and the next second, someone hit his shoulder hard with a scabbard.

"Where are you from?" Fu Yutang heard someone ask himself.

"I..." Fu Yutang lowered his head and pretended to be honest. He said, "I came from Shucheng to seek refuge with my relatives."

Shucheng?

The leading yamen runner narrowed his eyes and stared at Fu Yutang for a long time. Seeing that she was dressed in rags, had a dark skin, and her facial features were not outstanding, except for her pair of bright eyes, he could tell that she grew up in the streets of Beijing, cunning and sophisticated. He said in a cold voice: "Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

was recognized.

Fu Yutang's eyebrows jumped, his whole body tensed up instantly, his right hand unconsciously touched his left wrist, and he said calmly: "I dare not deceive you, sir, I am really from Shucheng.

"Haha." The yamen runner laughed coldly, shaking the portrait in his hand and said, "You still want to quibble? Do you really think you can hide it from my sharp eyes? You are obviously from the capital!"

Hearing this, Fu Yutang's face changed, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Wang Dagui on the side also became nervous.

This person is coming with bad intentions. What should I do?
