I don't want to return

Inside the state animal husbandry yamen.

Gao Wenjing sat at the top, and Mr. Cao sat at the bottom. The two were listening to the report of the patrolling officers and soldiers.

Since a patrolman spotted the fugitive last night, someone has come to report it overnight.Although someone disturbed her clear dream, Gao Wenjing did not dare to be ambiguous in the slightest when it was a matter of her own family and life, and her status as a black hat.

Immediately, additional manpower was sent to hunt them down with all their strength, and as expected, several fugitives were caught, and they were already put in prison awaiting trial.However, according to reports from his subordinates, there are still a few fish that slipped through the net that are too cunning and are still on the move.

It was almost dawn today, and Gao Wenjing couldn't sleep anymore, so he came to the yamen early and called Master Cao to wait for the result together in the yamen.

Unexpectedly, the good news came.

The soldier who sent the letter said very firmly: "This man is very skilled in martial arts and martial arts. He is superior to other fugitives and can order others. He must be the leader of the fugitives. If he is caught and tortured, he will be punished." We can catch all the fugitives hiding in the city! Right now, all of us are surrounded and have trapped him in an inn, making it hard for him to fly. There is only one thing that is a bit embarrassing..."

When the soldier said this, he glanced at Gao Wenjing tentatively, and said hesitantly: "The fugitive is hiding in the inn and can't come out. If you want to catch him, you will have to search from room to door. I don't know, my lord..."

At this point, he stopped, only silently waiting for Gao Wenjing's order.

Gao Wenjing was stunned for a moment, with a troubled expression on his face.Not disturbing the people and not being domineering are the rules set down from the previous Yuzhou Shepherd, and it is also the way of being an official that has been tested countless times.

If it is to break into the inn by force, the impact will not be very good.

However, when he thought of the precarious black hat on his head, and the fugitive who couldn't sleep well if he didn't remove it, Gao Wenjing gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay. Ask Mr. Cao to follow."

He pointed to Master Cao at the bottom of his head, and said in a deep voice: "Master Cao is eloquent. If there are people who refuse to search, Master Cao will first appease and refuse to listen, then he will have to be regarded as an accomplice of fugitives and give it to me together." Take it back!"

The soldier quickly answered yes, and hurriedly turned back to deliver the order.Master Cao also drove the carriage in a hurry, and followed the soldier.

But it is said that in the inn here, there is a confrontation.The patrolling soldiers didn't dare to move without Gao Wenjing's order, so they stood there without saying a word, their cold eyes swept like a sharp sword, and the residents and diners present shivered all over, and they didn't know that they were going to kneel down and beg for mercy Well, it's better to bite the bullet and finish the breakfast in front of you.

After the battle between the leading soldier and Shen Qing, he knew that Shen Qing was very skilled in martial arts, and it was a blessing to find the inn where he was hiding.

He paced downstairs a few times, frowned, waved his hand, and shouted: "Come on, follow me up and search one by one!"

As he spoke, ignoring the shopkeeper's exclamation, he drew out his knife and led a group of soldiers up the stairs.

The tenants on the second floor had already heard the movement downstairs. When they saw the officers and soldiers rushing up, they either hid in the house in panic, or stepped forward to beg for mercy.

The leading soldier impatiently pushed one person away with the back of his knife, and said, "Be quiet! As long as you are honest, I will never make things difficult for you!"

Although he said so on his mouth, he felt even more impatient in his heart.It was such a mess, what if the fugitive took advantage of the chaos and escaped!

He winked behind him, and saw a group of small soldiers rushing out, more than a dozen small soldiers drew out their waist knives one after another, and without saying a word, put all the irrelevant people aside, and made way for them.

Only then could the leading soldier take a big step. He rushed to the innermost guest room, kicked open the door, and was about to break in, but he couldn't help but freeze in place.

There were two very unusual people sitting in the room.

The leading soldier subconsciously came to such a conclusion after only one glance.

These two people were very different from everyone who was frightened in the inn. They seemed not to be disturbed at all, they just sat quietly on both sides of the round table, each holding a book in his hand, and slowly flipping through it.

Even if he broke in, the two of them seemed to have never heard of it. Only one of them, who was a little thinner, raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids again.

The light in his eyes is like a deep pool after an autumn rain, calm and unwavering, yet amazingly beautiful.With just this glance, he is not like an ordinary person.

The eyes of the leading soldier turned around on the clothes of the two of them again.One of them was wearing black and the other was wearing white. Although the fabric was not very good, but at this moment when it was draped on the two of them, it gave off an incomparable sense of nobility for no reason.

Looking at the appearance of the man in black, with a high nose and deep eyes, he is clearly from Beiyu.Coupled with this noble aura, he looks like a nobleman from the capital.

The atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a long while, just as the sitting man in black suddenly put down his book, turned his gaze, and said calmly, "Your Excellency broke in suddenly, is there something wrong?"

As he spoke, he stood up and took a step forward. His tall figure blocked half of the sunlight coming through the window, and his face was half sunken in the shadow, showing no emotion or anger.

But the power that suddenly rose from his body forced a layer of cold sweat on the forehead of the leading soldier.

He squeezed his fists, bowed to Xue Jinghong without embarrassment, and said dryly: "It seems that a fugitive broke into the inn. In order to catch the fugitive, I had to come in and search. I also hope Haihan."

After finishing speaking, he waved his arm bravely, and said in a calm voice: "Search." Then some soldiers rushed in and turned the house upside down.

Xue Jinghong and Mu Chongyu didn't change their faces, they just stood there quietly, as if they were out of the matter.

The cold sweat on the leading soldier's forehead became heavier and heavier, and he wished that his subordinates could finish the search quickly so that they could get away and leave.Of the two people in front of him, one is cold and aggressive, the other is gentle and noble, although neither of them said anything, but the aura of the whole body made him dare not raise his head, it was really tormented.

After finally waiting for the little soldier to come over and say that nothing unusual was found, he heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to back out, but turned his gaze to the little servant standing behind the door.

This young man has been standing in the shadow behind the door without saying a word, so he didn't notice it.

At this time, he moved his eyes to the boy's face, and was shocked in place - what kind of boy is this?This is clearly the fugitive from last night!

The expression on his face turned from astonishment to anger, and then became dark again.He lifted the waist knife and swung it around Shen Qing's neck, and shouted sharply: "Brave fugitive, how dare you hide here!"

The little soldiers were also shocked when they heard this, they turned around and quickly surrounded the door.In an instant, the situation was no longer as easy as before.

The leading soldier turned his head, and asked coldly, "The fugitives are hidden in the house of the two of you so grandly?"

That can't even be called "hiding", the two of them let the fugitive stand behind the door without any concealment, what an audacious act!

Xue Jinghong didn't even frown, just raised his eyebrows, and asked lightly, "You said he was a fugitive?"

"Is there any evidence?" He took a step forward, as if he just knew Shen Qing, and deliberately scanned him up and down.

The lead soldier choked for a moment.A fugitive would not hide any dangerous items on his body that could reveal his identity, but Shen Qing's martial arts were exceptionally strong, and he acted suspiciously, lurking in the streets of the city in the middle of the night, what else could he be if he wasn't a fugitive?

He was impatient for a while, and said in a bad tone: "People still want evidence from me in your room? Are you not in the same group as this fugitive?"

Saying so, he was startled suddenly.Busy and carefully looked at the two people again.

Aside from the obvious appearance of the man in black who is from Beiyu, this young man in white is handsome and full of dignity. ?

He became more and more suspicious, hesitated for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Take these two people back to me together!"

The subordinates said yes one after another, and they were easily tied up.

Seeing that the two of them did not resist, the leading soldier felt even weirder. Combined with all kinds of anomalies, he felt that the two of them were very suspicious, and hurriedly escorted them and Shen Qing out of the inn.

But as soon as he arrived at the entrance of the inn, before he went out, he saw a carriage and a group of soldiers coming in a hurry. The carriage stopped at the entrance of the inn, blocking his way.
