After wandering around like this, the half day passed by.
In the evening, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, was sitting on a chair in a fine private room of this restaurant and inn, thinking.
"Sir, can this matter be settled tomorrow?" Butler Yin Xing walked towards this side.
After listening to Yin Xing's words, Guo Yushi turned his head slightly, looked at Yin Xing approaching, and said in a low voice: "This letter has been sent to the court, and there is probably news soon. Wait until the news comes Come, we will capture all the people, and then we can go to the capital."
Listening to the master's words, Butler Yin Xing suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave. What he was reluctant to leave was the restaurant that night, and what he was reluctant to leave was Yu'an Fucheng. After all, when he returned to the capital, he would not be able to do anything well. After being scolded by the ladies, I preferred to stay with him than with him.
After a while, thinking that there was still no news about what happened today, Yin Xing asked out of curiosity: "Sir, there is no news about the two escaped officers yet. Have they run away?"
Guo Yushi smiled slightly: "Don't worry, they can run as far as they can. Although they ran for a few hours earlier, the government officials in this government office still moved quickly. Think about that night when we were in the restaurant, those three people The trouble has been going on for a long time, and then the government officials from this government office came."
Looking at the already dark sky outside, Guo Yushi said: "It's getting late. You should go back and rest early."
"Okay, sir, you should rest early." After saying that, Yin Xing walked away.
Guo Yushi sat on this chair, looking at the dark sky outside, and then at the streets below where few people passed by. Thinking of those days at home, Guo Yushi and Yin Xing's inner feelings They all had the same idea, they all wanted to return to the capital later.
It can be said that no one in this family is afraid of the ladies in this family. Even the old man is afraid, so how can they not be afraid?
Thinking about it again, it took a while to arrive at Yuanfu City from the capital, which counted to eight or nine days.
But this matter cannot be delayed for too long. Guo Yushi still wants to resolve these matters as soon as possible.
At this time, there were very few people coming and going in the streets and alleys of Yu'anfu City, but there were still many places with lights on in the city.
Tonight is a sleepless night for those officials who are working together to make profits. It seems that they have not slept peacefully since the incident was exposed.
Some of these officials have moved their wives, sons and daughters to safe places, while others are staying at home, drinking alone, and wishing they could drink themselves to death with the strong liquor.
"Where is this?"
"Master, we have already passed Tang County. We will reach the border of Nanzhong Province in a few hours."
At this time, a carriage was driving away from a trail.
Sitting in the carriage is fellow acquaintance Shen Jizhi.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
He was not alone in the carriage, there was also his family. The carriage was packed full of families.
Looking at the nervous faces, Shen Tongzhi was also nervous. He felt nervous that the carriage was not moving fast enough, so he shouted outside the carriage: "Faster! Faster!"
The coachman driving the horse in front had tried his best to drive the horse, but he dared not disobey the master's order. Even though the wheels of the carriage were running away and smoking, he still responded: "Okay, master."
After responding, he saw that the coachman whipped the short section of the reins towards the horse's buttocks, and the horse screamed. This speed was even faster than before.
Seeing such a fast speed, the driver driving the horse in front pressed his buttocks tightly against the carriage, fearing that the carriage would shake him out. Perhaps, this is the first time the driver has driven so fast. Horse it.
The carriage of another escaped judge, Li Da, had now entered the territory of Shen County. Shen County is also a county under the jurisdiction of Yu'an Prefecture. It is Tang County above and the sea below. To the west of this is the boundary of Nanzhong Province.
For safety reasons, the two officials drove in the same direction, but their routes were different.
"Faster!" Li Tongpan shouted.
The coachman in front accelerated the speed of the carriage.
As for the two officials, they both evacuated with their families. The speed of the carriage was also about the same. It was still a bit dangerous to drive in such a dark night.
And behind them, the government officials were chasing after them on fast horses.
"quick!"
"Hurry up!"
The leading yamen officer yelled.
The distance between the chasing government officials and the carriages of the two officials fleeing in front was not large. Behind the horses of the two officials were people driving carriages, and these horses were not considered good horses, and the government officials behind them The horses he rides are all fine and fast horses.
At this moment, the carriage Shen Tongzhi was riding in had an accident.
Shen Tongzhi and his family, who were sitting in the carriage, heard the horse bray, then the carriage shook and the carriage stopped.
"What's going on?" Shen Jizhi, a colleague who was surprised, shouted.
However, there was no immediate answer to this question. Just because the driver who was driving the horse in front had fallen off the carriage.
After hearing the master's cry, the coachman who fell off the carriage hurriedly got up. Although his body was a little painful, naturally he couldn't wait too long for the master's words.
After a quick glance, I saw that one of the carriage's wheels had been torn into pieces, one end of the carriage's axle was stuck on the ground and was damaged, and the other side of the wheel was crooked.
Seeing that no words were heard, fellow acquaintance Shen Jizhi anxiously opened the carriage curtain, looked at the coachman, and asked:
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"what happened?"
Holding the pain, and then looking at the horse in front of him that seemed to be sprained, the coachman answered: "Master, the carriage wheel is broken, and the horse is sprained."
After hearing this, Shen Tongzhi complained about the horse, looked at the driver, and asked anxiously: "Can this be repaired?"
The coachman shook his head: "Sir, the wheels are seriously damaged and the axles are also damaged. They need to be replaced with new ones. There is no spare. The horses are also injured."
After hearing this, fellow acquaintance Shen Jizhi sighed anxiously, and hurriedly thought of a way: "See if there is anyone nearby, hide here overnight, and wait for the carriage to be repaired before setting off." Looking at the family in the carriage, The order came: "Get off the car and walk."
After listening to the master's words, these people obeyed obediently and got out of the carriage one after another, trying to find a family nearby.
But it's late at night, and it's already very late at night, so where can I look for it?
At this time, Shen Jizhi's wife with good eyes shouted happily: "Master, look over there, there is light over there, maybe there is someone there."
After listening to her words, everyone looked over there.
However, there seems to be something wrong with this light. It flickers and flickers, and it doesn’t look like someone’s home.
Shen Jizhi, who knew clearly, said in a panic: "Oh no! It's the government officials who are catching up! Run!"
As soon as the master shouted, everyone ran quickly into the forest.
Knowing that the heavy objects on their bodies were heavy, a few people dropped their burdens and ran away for safety, just like a group of mice meeting a cat, they fled one after another.
"Stop!" a yamen servant shouted.
Then, I saw him holding a torch, jumping off the horse, looking at the fallen carriage, then at the still fresh wheel marks, and then carefully looking at the messy footprints.
"They shouldn't be far away, everyone! Get off your horse and search carefully around here!" said the leading Yamen servant.
These government officials jumped off their horses one after another, pulled out their long knives from the scabbards on their waists, and searched the surroundings carefully.
On the other side, Tongpan Li Da's carriage also had an accident at this moment.
However, it is different from his colleague Shen Jizhi.
The route that Tongpan Li Da and his team took was the same as that of Tongzhi Shen Jizhi, which had mountains. The difference was that the route that Tongzhi Li Da and his team took was steep in the mountains, and part of the road was built on the mountainside. If During the day, it can be considered safe, but at night, you must put on these lights and drive slowly to be considered safe.
As for the coachman who was interrogating Li Da, he listened to Li Da's words all the way. He had no opinion at all and just went as fast as he said without caring about anything. No, when driving on the steep mountainside, this carriage was still very fast. The carriage wheel accidentally hit a big stone, and suddenly the carriage tilted. In addition, the horse was so fast that it could not stop the carriage and drove down the mountain.
