I don't want to return

Master Cao ordered the servant to drive the carriage, and he hurried to catch up with the horse that delivered the messenger. Just as he was about to jump off the carriage, he saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the inn.

The patrol soldiers in the yamen surrounded the innermost side, and the outside was crowded with crowds of spectators.

Really caught the fugitive?

Overjoyed in his heart, he hurriedly got out of the carriage, pushed aside the crowd and walked inside.His eyes were sweeping around, but he was suddenly attracted by the two people standing in the middle.

One of these two men was dressed in black, the other was dressed in white, both of them had extraordinary appearances, being guarded by officers and soldiers here, they didn't appear to be panicked in the slightest.

The man in the dark black robe even keenly felt his scrutinizing eyes, and cast his eyes lightly over.For some reason, Master Cao's heart tightened, and the two of them seemed to have reversed their positions in a daze.

The leading soldier was busy rushing back to the yamen to do business. Seeing Master Cao coming at this moment, he hurriedly went up to greet him with a smile on his face and said: "The fugitive has been caught." As he spoke, he pointed to Shen Qing who was bound by five flowers.

Then he took a step closer with a solemn face, and whispered in Master Cao's ear about Xue Jinghong and Mu Chongyu's suspiciousness.

"My lord, these two people are sheltering fugitives, and their aura is so extraordinary, do you think they are... the former master of Nanyan?" He said the last few words lightly, but it was so shocking that Mr. Cao broke into a cold sweat.

Master Cao suddenly shifted his gaze to the two of them again, and looked at them motionlessly for a while, feeling suspicious.

——If it is really the old master of Nanyan, who has been tied up by them now, can he still be so calm?

He turned his gaze abruptly, and looked at the man in black again. After thinking about it quickly in his mind, he suddenly remembered something, and his whole body froze.

He didn't know if the former master of Nanyan came to Yuzhou or not, but there was a person who came to Yuzhou privately in a micro-service!

He glanced vaguely at Xue Jinghong's deep eyebrows again, and felt his hands trembling slightly in his sleeves.He turned his head and said with difficulty to the leading soldier: "Since you have caught someone, you will be escorted back first... Please go back to the Yamen to talk about it. If there is any misunderstanding, you should ask it as soon as possible."

Misunderstand?The leading soldier was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what this meant.He wanted to ask again, but he saw Master Cao had already got back into the carriage.

But that body leaned halfway in, but backed out again, and asked: "If these three have no horses to ride, why don't you feel wronged and sit in this carriage temporarily?"

Then they were quite gracious and invited Xue Jinghong and the three of them to sit in the carriage.

The leading soldier was completely stunned.He has never heard of the "Private Visit to Yuzhou by the Great Yu Sheng Shang Weifu", and he has no idea what Master Cao is thinking. He only knows that these three people are acting suspiciously, and one of them fought against him last night. fugitive!

He went up to dissuade him, but Master Cao gave him a silent gesture, which made him even more baffled.After repeating this several times, I had to stand beside him with a stomach full of anger, and followed the carriage all the way back to the Yamen.

On the other side, they were invited to get into the carriage, Xue Jinghong and the other three didn't refuse, they asked the servants to help them and sat up.That posture seems to be very natural.

Even the three of them frowned and remained silent, sitting upright with displeasure on their faces, as if they had been neglected by such hospitality.

Master Cao saw it in his eyes, and his suspicion became more and more serious—could they really be Da Yusheng and his party, because they were mistaken and neglected by the patrol soldiers, so they hid their anger, but held back for a while?

He couldn't help but wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, fidgeting.

Speaking of which, they had never seen the true face of Nanyan's fugitive prisoner. Although the leading soldier just insisted that Shen Qing was a fugitive, but listening to his words, there was actually no conclusive evidence to prove his identity. The so-called "fugitive" It was simply because Shen Qing was active at night and resisted and fled after being discovered.

But this kind of behavior also coincides with the identity of the Holy Lord's hidden guard!The Holy Son of Heaven, who went down to pay private visits in microservices, naturally did not want to be discovered, but they were lucky, not only caught people in secret guards, but also labeled them as "fugitives". This is simply treason...

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and he regretted it so much.If he had known this earlier, he should have personally monitored the patrolling soldiers in case they caught the wrong person!

After being so anxious all the way, when he finally arrived at the State Shepherd's Yamen, Mr. Cao got off his horse and opened the curtain of the carriage, and waited quietly for the three people in the carriage to get off the carriage one by one.

Xue Jinghong took a deep breath.He stepped down first and waited aside, stretched out his hand, and helped Mu Chongyu's hand that was about to be locked by the car door.Then he turned his head and glanced at the state animal husbandry office a few steps away.

He had never been here before.At this moment, two groups of soldiers lined up outside the open gate of the yamen, majestic and majestic, all the way to the back of the public case in the lobby.There was a person sitting behind the case, and it was Gao Wenjing's figure vaguely.

Xue Jinghong's expression was slightly gloomy, he flicked the hem of the skirt with his hand, and walked in with his head held high.

Gao Wenjing was waiting impatiently in the yamen, but when he was upset, he saw a tall figure approaching from the sunlight outside the door, and he didn't inform him, which made him even more unhappy.He was about to let the left and right yamen guards arrest him, when he saw that person stepping in step by step, his appearance became clear gradually.

When he got close, he could already see the face of the person clearly, but he couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

This……

He lost his sense of control for a moment, and when he glanced around, he caught a glimpse of Mr. Cao's distressed face, and he understood instantly.But the courage also frightened two layers.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." He hurriedly rolled off his seat, and was about to kowtow to plead guilty, but Xue Jinghong waved his left hand, which made his heart tremble again.

"Master Gao didn't know about it, so there's no need to plead guilty." After Xue Jinghong said those words, he naturally walked to the back of the case and took Gao Wenjing's original seat.

Seeing this, Gao Wenjing was so busy that she realized that she was so terrified that she asked someone to move a few seats and put them aside, and invited Mu Chongyu and Shen Qing to also take their seats.

Mu Chongyu never said a word, just sat down peacefully, and waited for Xue Jinghong to move behind.

"I, I didn't expect that His Majesty had already arrived in Yuzhou, so I didn't go out of the city to meet him. It was my negligence. I hope that Your Majesty will come down!" Kneeling on the ground, he begged for forgiveness repeatedly: "This time, I blame the recklessness of the soldiers under my command, and offended His Majesty, and I will die!"

Shen Qing looked at this scene and wanted to laugh, but he frowned and held back.

However, Xue Jinghong showed a plausible smile: "Oh, so Mr. Gao knew that I would come to Yuzhou?"

His tone was casual and ordinary, as if he asked casually, but it made Gao Wenjing's heart skip a beat.

"Chen..." He froze there, completely panicked, not knowing how to answer.

If he admits it, he will be spying on the emperor, if he does not admit it, he will go back on his word in front of the Holy One.It was a dilemma for him.

Gao Wenjing's palms were covered with sweat, as if being roasted on a burning fire.Fortunately, Xue Jinghong did not linger on this question for too long, but asked another question: "Master Gao sent soldiers to patrol the streets to arrest people, is there a reason?"

Gao Wenjing quickly replied: "Yes, there are. I heard that the escaped prisoners from Nanyan fled to Yuzhou, and thought that the escaped prisoners would be cruel and aggressive. If they wandered around in the city, they would disturb the lives of ordinary people, so they sent people to search in the city."

He paused, gritted his teeth, and added: "Five or six escaped prisoners have been captured, and they are all being held in the dungeon. Will His Majesty want to personally interrogate them?"

Gao Wenjing was eager to use this achievement to get rid of the charge of offending the Holy Majesty, so she eagerly hoped that Xue Jinghong would agree.

Xue Jinghong lowered his eyes slightly, and smiled with great interest: "There is 'Nanyan Escaped Prisoner' here? Why haven't I heard of it?"
