As a gust of evening wind blew by, a sharp arrow came through the wind and hit Ma Xiang's throat. Ma Xiang, who was about to drive Xu Zhaojie away in a carriage, looked down in disbelief... ················
He was about to say something the next second, but when he opened his mouth, before he could make a sound, the life in him was completely cut off. With infinite loyalty to Xu Zhaojie, Ma Xiang's head tilted to death!
Xu Zhaojie in the carriage did not realize that Ma Xiang was dead at first, but after waiting for a few seconds and seeing that Ma Xiang was still not driving the carriage, he realized something was wrong and stuck his head out of the carriage to check!
Seeing Ma Xiang's throat being pierced by a sharp arrow, Xu Zhaojie couldn't help but feel heartbroken and desperate!
Before Xu Zhaojie was not in trouble, he actually didn't pay much attention to Ma Xiang. He just placed Ma Xiang as a chess piece in Qianhu Guard to check and balance and monitor Fang She. Otherwise, Ma Xiang would not have been able to survive until the end. It's just one hundred households in Qianhuwei!
But as the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed. When he saw Ma Xiang coming to see him in a desperate situation just now, Xu Zhaojie was grateful for Ma Xiang's loyalty!
Therefore, Xu Zhaojie was naturally very heartbroken when he saw a soldier who was absolutely loyal to him die in front of him like this!
Ma Xiang's death also shattered a lot of Xu Zhaojie's hopes, and even made him feel the inescapable despair again... ····
At this moment, Xu Zhaojie seemed to realize something. He suddenly looked into the distance and saw a man in black standing quietly in a hidden corner!
This man was slender and slender, and his face could not be seen clearly, but he was holding a long bow. It was obvious that the cold arrow that killed Ma Xiang came from him!
Although this person covered his face, the first time he saw this person, a name appeared in Xu Zhaojie's mind - Fang She!
At the same time, the man in black and Xu Zhaojie looked at each other without saying anything, turned around and disappeared into the night again!
Seeing Fang Snake leaving, Xu Zhaojie was filled with anger. He knew that this cold-blooded and ruthless snake was unreliable, and was an unfed white-eyed wolf!
Sure enough, he bit himself at his most critical moment. If he survived today by chance, he would have killed his whole family alive, let him taste this feeling of despair, and make him pay the price of betrayal!
Although he had planned a lot of things in his mind, seeing the Fengwu army gradually gathering, Xu Zhaojie couldn't care so much for the time being. He just threw Ma Xiang's body off the carriage, and then drove the carriage and ran away!
Just as Xu Zhaojie was running away, Ye Pengchao, who was still sleeping, was woken up by his men and learned that Xu Zhaojie had escaped from prison... ···········
When he first heard the news, Ye Pengchao thought he was lying to himself. After all, the security in the prison was already in the strictest state, and there were hundreds of troops stationed around the prison. With such strict protection, Xu Zhaojie, let alone a mortal body, was It’s hard for him to escape even if he has two wings on his back!
However, amidst the anxious affirmations from his men, Ye Pengchao also realized that the news was true. Xu Zhaojie had really escaped from prison with the help of the remnants of the Zhennan Army!
Faced with this sudden incident, Ye Pengchao's head immediately buzzed, and his usually flexible and alert brain was also a little down at this time!
The memorial for capturing Xu Zhaojie alive has been handed over to the superiors a long time ago. I think the commander-in-chief and the entire Yi Jing Center already know about this matter. If something goes wrong now, the sky is really falling!
According to the plan, Xu Zhaojie should start his journey north tomorrow. If he really escapes today, he, the deputy inspector, will not be able to escape his involvement!
Ye Pengchao became even more anxious when he thought of this, and immediately asked:
"Do you know where Xu Zhaojie went?"
His subordinates replied in a straight line:
"I don't know where Xu Zhaojie went. I just saw him driving a carriage towards the east gate!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Pengchao had a clue in his mind, and he ordered without thinking:
"I have closed all the city gates in Hanyang so that not a single mosquito can be let out. In addition, I have gathered all the government officials from the Ancha Division. I will search door to door in Dongcheng District, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will be searched." I will find Xu Zhaojie..."
"yes!"
Although he was still very tired after being woken up from his sleep, Ye Pengchao couldn't sleep at all after what happened!
He knew very well that if this matter was not handled well and Xu Zhaojie really ran away, then the position of Jingchu Inspector that he had already had at his fingertips would come to an end, and the extremely bright future in his official career would usher in a turning point, and even He might not be able to take down his current position as deputy prosecutor!
Thinking of this, Ye Pengchao couldn't sit still anymore and took people directly to Dongcheng District of Hanyang, intending to go to the front line to supervise the arrest of Xu Zhaojie!
Not long after Ye Pengchao came to the front line in person, Zhang Shengli, the commander-in-chief of Hanyang, also hurried over. As soon as he arrived, he anxiously asked Ye Pengchao:
"How is Master Ye? Have you found Xu Zhaojie?"
Listening to Zhang Shengli's words, Ye Pengchao first glared at him, and then said angrily:
"My Commander-in-Chief Zhang Da, do you have the nerve to ask me? If I find Xu Zhaojie, will I, Ye, still stand in this cold wind?"
"My Commander-in-Chief Zhang Da, how did you promise me back then! You said that our Chasi people were unreliable, and that your First Division had an excellent style and was well-defended. It was absolutely impossible for Xu Zhaojie to escape. Let me I have handed over the defense of the prison to you..."
"It's ridiculous that I, Ye Pengchao, who has a great reputation all my life, actually believed your lies and ended up in this situation!"
After finishing speaking, Ye Pengchao let out a long sigh. The disappointment and anger in his sigh could be said to be beyond words. Hearing Ye Pengchao's complaint also made Zhang Shengli's face turn red, but after all, the problem was in his hands. So it's hard for him to say anything now!
It took a long time for Zhang Shengli to hold back a sentence and said:
"Master Ye, Xu Zhaojie's problem was caused by me. If the superiors investigate it, I, Zhang Shengli, will bear the responsibility myself and I will never drag you down, Master Ye!"
Hearing this, Ye Pengchao snorted coldly and said:
"General Zhang, what you said is nice, but the matter happened in Hanyang and I am the deputy envoy of the Jingchu Police Department. How can I have nothing to do with this matter?"
"General Zhang, if you are willing to take the responsibility, you might as well join the search at this time!"
"If we catch Xu Zhaojie again tonight, I'm afraid the matter may turn into a big deal and become a trivial matter. Otherwise, both of you and I will have to suffer the consequences!"
"I see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Shengli was ready to lead his people to join the search. However, after taking a few steps, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Ye Pengchao again:
"I have wiped out all the remnants of the Zhennan Army in the prison. According to their confessions, this incident was planned by Qianhu Guards Ma Xiang and Fang She. Ma Xiang has been killed, but Fang She should still be at large. ·································"
After speaking, Zhang Shengli saluted Ye Pengchao, and then led others to join the search process!
When Ye Pengchao heard the name Fang She, a soul-stirring and fierce light appeared in his eyes!
Since Fang She became the commander of the Qianhu Guards, he has successively uncovered many spies deployed by the General Coordination Office in the Zhennan Army, and dealt a heavy blow to the Intelligence Network of the General Coordination Office in the Zhennan Army!
Because of this matter, Huo San from the Coordination Office dropped a tea cup, and was even reprimanded by the commander for not reporting on the Zhennan Army in time!
The Coordination Office has sent out killers many times before to try to deal with this snake, but not only did they never succeed, but dozens of excellent Coordination Office agents met with poisonous hands!
It is precisely because of this blood feud that Fang Snake has become the target of the Commanding Office second only to Xu Zhaojie of the Zhennan Army. Although Ye Pengchao has now left the Commanding Office, he knows very well that after the demise of the Zhennan Army, Fang Snake has become the target of the Commanding Officer. Mediation’s most wanted target!
However, I didn't expect that this Fang She not only didn't hide, but came to Hanyang. This guy is so brave!
However, if Xu Zhaojie's escape was planned by Fang She, it would make sense that he could escape from the heavily guarded prison... ············
As a former member of the Coordination Office, Ye Peng supernaturally wanted to avenge the dozens of colleagues in the Coordination Office who had died in the hands of Fang She, but the priorities of things made Fang She seem a bit insignificant compared to Xu Zhaojie!
Now Ye Pengchao's only prayer is to catch the bastard Xu Zhaojie as soon as possible, so that he can safely arrest Fang She!
After catching Fang She, Ye Pengchao would first peel off his skin, and then chop him alive with one knife as he screamed!
Just when Ye Pengchao mobilized his troops to launch a manhunt, Xu Zhaojie, the subject of the search, was holding a short knife on a woman's neck while gnawing on a piece of cold steamed buns hungrily!
Xu Zhaojie was born in a distinguished family like the Xu family in Zhenyuan. It is no exaggeration to say that he has been well clothed and well-fed since he was a child. He has eaten countless delicious food and fine wines!
But at this moment, he, who is the Marquis of Zhenyuan, enjoys this piece of cold steamed bun leftover by others!
Since being rescued by Ma Xiang, Xu Zhaojie, who has regained hope in his heart, has long been so hungry that he can't stand it anymore. He had to hold on all the way to keep himself from lying down!
However, after the carriage left the prison, Xu Zhaojie wanted to go straight to the city gate, but then he remembered that although Ma Xiang told him that he had bribed the city gate officials to let him follow him, he wanted to Send it out yourself····························
But until Ma Xiang died, he never told Xu Zhaojie that he bribed the officials at that gate. And now that Ma Xiang was dead, could he still get out of the city gate without his help?
Although he was very helpless and angry, Xu Zhaojie had to accept this cruel reality. After thinking quickly, Xu Zhaojie, who was almost hungry and unable to walk, decisively gave up the carriage!
Although this carriage can help him leave as soon as possible, the goal of the carriage is too big. He can't open the city gate now. If he continues to hold this carriage, he will be caught sooner or later, so giving up the carriage is the best choice now. !
Xu Zhaojie abandoned the carriage and quietly came to a nearby resident's home with a sharp knife in hand, looking for something to eat to fill his stomach!
Although Xu Zhaojie was in prison and wanted to die and went on a hunger strike without eating, but if he had a choice, Xu Zhaojie would rather be a well-fed ghost than report to the Lord of Hell on an empty stomach!
So here is the scene where Xu Zhaojie is munching cold steamed buns while holding the woman hostage with a short knife!
Feeling the coldness of the short knife in Xu Zhaojie's hand, the middle-aged woman who was held hostage trembled and said:
"What a good man! I'm just a woman. My husband is doing business outside. I don't have much money in my family... No matter you are asking for money or money... Sex, as long as you don’t hurt me! Please be a good man!”
After finishing the cold buns, Xu Zhaojie regained a little strength. Listening to the middle-aged woman's words, he felt angry and funny and immediately said with a cold face:
"Shut your mouth! If you talk, I will kill you."
After Xu Zhaojie finished speaking, the sounds of manhunt came from outside.
"Go check this yard, check that yard, check carefully. Don't let Xu Zhaojie, the dog thief, get away. It's said that whoever catches Xu Zhaojie will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! "
"yes!"
Hearing the sounds outside, Xu Zhaojie also looked a little nervous, and his attention shifted to the people searching outside!
At this time, the middle-aged woman in the house also heard the conversation outside. Seeing Xu Zhaojie looking so panicked, she also guessed that the murderer in front of her was being hunted down!
Seeing that the murderer's attention was focused outside, the middle-aged woman bravely rushed out of the house, shouting at her:
"He's here! He's here! Come and catch him!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted everyone's attention, and this also destroyed Xu Zhaojie's last hope. Looking at the figure of this woman, Xu Zhaojie felt very regretful. He was so hungry just now that all he could think about was eating, so he didn't immediately Kill this bitch!
At this moment, looking at the Fengwu soldiers surrounding him, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Xu Zhaojie's face. The next second, in the eyes of everyone, he used the short knife in his hand to make a decisive move on his neck... ·····················
