The paper looked worthless at first glance, and the writing on it was useless. The two people saw that there were only three pieces of waste paper in it, and then they threw the waste paper directly on the ground. Then the two men walked away.
Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen waited until the two people left before getting up from the ruins. Jiang Nianjiao planned to leave directly, but Zhao Yanzhen suddenly picked up the three pieces of paper. Jiang Nianjiao was about to ask him about picking up such waste paper. What he was doing, he had already unfolded a piece of waste paper and looked at it.
It doesn't matter if you don't read the letter, but Jiang Nianjiao is glad that Zhao Yanzhen picked up the paper.
Do you know what is written on this paper? But it turned out that what was written on the paper was the person who explained the origin of the Destiny Array. Judging from this person's tone, it was probably him who organized and built the Destiny Array from the purchase of land to the successful construction, but he obviously did not expect it. What he builds later will become a hell-like existence on earth, and this person is also feeling pain and fear due to the situation in this place. Although he participated in many of these people's affairs, his conscience has not been completely annihilated. In other words, he still believes that there are gods and Buddhas in this world. He is afraid that he will be punished by God if he follows these people and commits such sins.
But although he was afraid, his wife kept asking him to continue to strive for glory and wealth.
The last name signed on the letter was Chen Yue's name. Zhao Yanzhen looked at it and felt that this was also evidence to reveal the appearance of these people, so he kept the letter as well.
By the time Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen escaped from the city, at least half of the guards guarding people outside the city gate were gone.
Jiang Nianjiao couldn't help but take the initiative to ask, "Why are there only a few of you here?"
I heard Jiang Nianjiao ask about this. The man only whispered, "Xinguan Zhi and a few other brothers saw that you didn't come back, so they are looking for you everywhere."
Hearing this, Jiang Nianjiao then asked, "What should we do now?"
Zhao Yanzhen was not in a hurry. He only glanced at the guard with his eyes, and then the guard took the initiative to say, "Master, don't worry, I have a way to get them back as soon as possible."
Then as the words fell, the guard turned over and climbed onto the wall of the town. Then the guard put his hands in front of his lips, and then made a cooing sound,
Hearing that cooing sound, uninformed people just thought it was the sound of a partridge, so no one took it seriously.
But these three long and two short sounds are the expression of information to the ears of those who are interested.
Xing Guan was still searching blindly. They had been searching for a long time after entering the city. However, when they searched, they only found the guard lying in the corner of the wall.
As soon as the guard saw Xinguan coming, he immediately looked at Xinguan with concern.
Until Xinguan asked the guard, "Where has Prince Jin gone?"
After listening to Xinguan's words, the guard only whispered: "We encountered a group of pursuers. At that time, in order to protect His Highness King Jin, I only fought with them once. After that, His Highness ran away with the princess. I don’t even know where they went.”
Hearing this, Xinguan couldn't help but frown. He was about to ask the guard where King Jin and the princess had gone.
Then a cooing sound was heard suddenly not far away.
The gurgling sound only made the guard on the side look bright.
"Lord Xinguan, His Highness must be out of danger, let's go back quickly, right?"
After hearing what the guard said, Xinguan couldn't help but ask, "How do you know?"
The guard then whispered, "Did you hear that partridge's voice just now? This is our way of communication. As for what these voices mean, I can't tell you."
Xinguan didn't care when he heard this. He just signaled to other guards to help the guard leave, while he himself looked for an ox cart near the market that could take them out of here.
Fortunately, he soon found an ox cart seller, and he immediately bought the ox cart from the vendor.
Then when he drove the bullock cart out of the town, he saw Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen.
Now that there was an ox cart, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen naturally drove the ox cart to Anxi Prefecture.
However, Xinguan later only proposed to part ways with Jiang Nianjiao and the others.
It turned out that when Anxi Prefecture wanted to take action to suppress them, Xu Zhilan only pretended to be a female prisoner on trial. Now if there is no accident, Xu Zhilan is not the person they want to arrest, so Xinguan only thought that if Xu Zhilan No surprise, it should still be in Anxi County.
Obviously Xinguan's guess was not wrong.
After Xu Zhilan was taken away from Li Guanhua and the Anxi County Magistrate, she was arranged to live with the Magistrate's wife as the benefactor of the Magistrate's family.
As for Chen Ke and others, they were arranged to live temporarily at a post station in the county.
The Anxi magistrate mainly targeted the Anxi magistrate and Li Guanhua, but these two people have obviously not been convicted yet. Therefore, at this moment, the trouble does not harm his wife and daughter, and the Anxi magistrate's house is relatively safe.
This also made it easier for Xinguan to find Xu Zhilan. After meeting Xu Zhilan, Xinguan naturally told Xu Zhilan about his encounter with His Highness Prince Jin and Princess Jin.
When Xu Zhilan learned that Jiang Nianjiao had also arrived, her expression darkened.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nianjiao would come with Zhao Yanzhen.
But she didn't think much about it. After that, she just took Xinguan to find Chen Ke and the others.
At this time, Chen Ke only stayed with the villagers of Lulin Village. After everyone heard that the imperial envoys had been sent over, they naturally discussed going to the state capital.
It would naturally take a lot of time to go back and forth from Anxi Prefecture to the county seat, but in order to redress their grievances, everyone still followed.
On the other side, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen did not go to Anxi Prefecture immediately after obtaining the witness and physical evidence. Instead, they only traveled lightly to Taishan County, Cangzhou, near Anxi Prefecture.
The reason why Jiang Nianjiao and the others were like this was naturally because they had already planned it before coming to Anxi Prefecture.
They did not intend to go directly to Anxi Prefecture, but in order to avoid the suspicion of the Anxi magistrate, which would be detrimental to Li Guanhua and the Anxi county magistrate, they only thought that there was a famous mountain in Taishan County that was beautiful and they wanted to tour. In order to stay in Taishan County, which is close to Anxi Prefecture, for three more days, the magistrate of Taishan County had not seen Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen, so they only asked Zhao Yanzhen's secret guards to cooperate with Jiang Nianjiao's maid to play the role of King Jin and Princess Jin. Role.
Since the Taishan County Magistrate has never seen Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen, he will naturally not be suspicious.
On the other hand, the Taishan County Magistrate would not accompany them to Anxi Prefecture.
Therefore, even if the Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen seen by the Taishan County Magistrate were different from those seen by the Anxi Prefecture, he could not know.
Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen only met up with their original convoy at the border between Taishan County and Anxi Prefecture.
After everyone connected, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen changed their identities with the guards and maids who were pretending to be themselves.
After that, Zhao Yanzhen went to Anxi Prefecture again as an imperial envoy.
Naturally, Anxi Prefecture received Zhao Yanzhen's letter three days ago.
So this morning, the prefect of Anxi Prefecture put on a grand pomp. The entire Anxi Prefecture only had hundreds of feet of red carpet laid out from the city to the outside. In addition, there was a red carpet at Xianghua Tower. Banquet, and various Anxi orchestra groups.
In addition, Anxi prefecture officials, officials from the prefect, and local wealthy businessmen from Anxi all lined up to welcome the arrival of Zhao Yanzhen and Jiang Nianjiao.
The Anxi prefect dared to pull such a big trick when the superiors were investigating him. Naturally, it was based on the Taishan County Magistrate's words about their standards for welcoming people in Taishan. The County Magistrate only said that the two of them liked grand ostentation and were extremely luxurious. thing.
Therefore, the Anxi prefect wanted to use this method to paralyze Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen.
But according to the estimation of the Anxi prefect, if the group leaves Taishan County today, even if they set off at ten o'clock, no matter how late it is, they should arrive in the county at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
However, the group of people only waited until sunset when the sun was the harshest, and the imperial convoy's convoy arrived belatedly.
The reason why they arrived so late was naturally because Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen took the wrong route. After the two parties found each other, a lot of time was naturally wasted along the way. .
As soon as he saw that they had finally arrived, the prefect immediately looked towards the lion dance below.
The team beat a beat, and then the dragon and lion dance team started their performance along the way. At the same time, the sound of a dozen cannon salutes was heard outside the city.
When Cui Qiao in the carriage heard the voice, she couldn't help but look around curiously. However, before she was about to poke her head out, Jiang Nianjiao directly stopped her from moving.
At the same time, the carriage stopped here.
As the carriage stopped, Jiang Nianjiao and Zhao Yanzhen got off the carriage at the same time.
At this time, they had naturally packed up their clothes early.
As soon as the Anxi Prefecture saw them coming, they immediately led their officials to move closer to the two of them.
"His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, Princess Jin, you have worked hard today. Please come with us to Xianghua Tower to pick up the dust." The prefect of Anxi did not mention the imperial envoy's mission, he only smiled attentively and said.
Zhao Yanzhen only glanced at everyone present, and then he smiled calmly and said, "Since it is the prefect's kindness, how could the princess and I not give you this face?"
Everyone in Anxi Prefecture couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they heard that Zhao Yanzhen was willing to go with him to pick up the wind.
Then Zhao Yanzhen, under the guidance of the Anxi prefect, walked forward facing the excitement.
Cui Qiao, who was walking on the other side, looked at the scenes along the road and couldn't help but said to Jiang Nianjiao, "It's really lively here. I'm afraid there aren't such lively scenes in Beijing."
Hearing this, ordinary people may feel wary.
