Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing took advantage of the chaos in the city and quickly entered the city. The two of them went straight to the corner gate of the Grand Master's Mansion. After checking the surroundings, they ducked in. After taking a closer look at the person's appearance, the housekeeper saw that it was Fu Tianpeng and hurriedly moved them to the living room.
After Li Gang finished handling the political affairs, he learned that Fu Tianpeng was coming and immediately went to the living room to see him. Taishi Li saw Fu Tianpeng looking nervous and asked him what happened. Fu Tianpeng told Li Gang that when the two of them learned that Qin Hui wanted to burn Prime Minister Zhao's manuscript, they snatched the manuscript back from the hands of the officers and soldiers and hid it in the fish basket they carried.
After listening to Fu Tianpeng's description, Li Gang was so angry that his face turned livid. He slapped the case and cursed bitterly: "Qin Hui deceives the emperor and harms the people, and does whatever it takes to achieve his despicable goals. Not only did he kill Prime Minister Zhao, but he also burned the good policies he wrote to stabilize the country and govern the country. I must not Just sit back and ignore it. Young Master Fu, if you put Prime Minister Zhao's manuscript here, I won't let Qin Hui's traitor plan succeed even if I risk my life."
Fu Tianpeng stood up and bowed to Li Gang to thank him. He said to Li Gang: "Master Li, with your words, I feel relieved. Now the two of us are being hunted by the court. If we stay here for a long time, we will definitely implicate you."
After Fu Tianpeng finished speaking, he stood up and left. Li Gang stopped him and said to him: "Young Master Fu, since Wang Boxiang and Qin Xi are conducting a secret search in the city, you two have been spotted by the way you dressed up. If you just walk out like this, aren't you throwing yourself into a trap?"
After Li Gang finished speaking, Zhao Xueqing also told Fu Tianpeng that if we go out like this, if we are stared at by Qin Xi and others, it will actually harm Mr. Li. Fu Tianpeng's face was full of worry at the moment and he didn't know what to do.
Li Gang told the two of them that even if Qin Hui was daring, he would not dare to make trouble in my house. You two just need to live here, and the housekeeper will take care of all your food and clothing expenses. When I come to the palace and explain the whole matter clearly, I will definitely ask the Holy One to give you justice.
Fu Tianpeng nodded, and Zhao Xueqing took shelter in the Grand Master's Mansion for the time being, listening to what was going on outside. Li Gang informed the housekeeper and entertained Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing. He still had urgent business to deal with, so he turned around and left the Grand Master's Mansion.
After Li Gang left, Fu Tianpeng said to Zhao Xueqing: "Sister Qing, Mrs. Li is loyal and upright, and is the central pillar of the Song Dynasty. Prime Minister Zhao has been killed by Qin Hui, the traitor. So we must always think about Mr. Li, not because of us The matter involved him."
Zhao Xueqing agreed with Fu Tianpeng's idea. She told Fu Tianpeng to wait until the night was quiet before she could think of a way out of the city. In the evening, Li Gang came back from the court and hosted a banquet in honor of Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing. During the dinner, Li Gang didn't mention anything to Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing about Qin Hui's insinuating inquiries about the situation in the palace at the door of the royal study. Li Gang was originally worried that Fu Tianpeng would leave the Taishi Mansion. If he ran away because of this and fell into the hands of Qin Hui, he would feel guilty.
Therefore, Li Gang kept drinking and chatting with the two of them, telling Fu Tianpeng to relax and that he would take care of everything. But Zhao Xueqing is a girl after all, and she is as careful as hair. She raised her eyes and took a closer look at Li Gang's face, and saw a trace of sadness appearing and then disappearing on his resolute face.
Zhao Xueqing understands that only Fu Tianpeng tells this matter, so that it will not embarrass Mr. Li.
She secretly winked at Fu Tianpeng, and Fu Tianpeng understood. He stood up and said to Li Gang: "Master Li, we are in trouble here, so we want to leave the city at night."
After Li Gang heard what Fu Tianpeng said, his face turned pale with shock. He quickly asked Fu Tianpeng why he wanted to leave after staying here well. Fu Tianpeng replied to Li Gang, now the golden cavalry is traversing the mountains and rivers, heading south. The country was in a troubled time, and Marshal Han and Marshal Yue were fighting desperately to defend the country of the Song Dynasty. As a citizen of the Song Dynasty, if I am afraid of moving forward because of traitors and sycophants, how can I stand between heaven and earth?
Fu Tianpeng's words came from the heart, which moved Li Gang very much. He filled the cup and drank the wine in one gulp. Li Gang got up and paced around, thinking carefully and making good plans. After a while, Li Gang called the housekeeper Li Zhongyi. He said to Li Zhongyi: "Go to the study and take out my token for leaving the city. Then give the two knights their outfits and dress them up."
Li Zhongyi nodded repeatedly and said to Fu Tianpeng: "You two young heroes, please come with me." Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing followed Li Zhongyi. He found servant and maid outfits for Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing, and asked them to change their faces.
After Li Zhongyi carefully looked at their appearance and confirmed that no flaws could be seen, he smiled and praised them repeatedly. Then Li Zhongyi handed the order to leave the city to Fu Tianpeng and said to him: "Go to the city gate and hold the order to leave the city. I believe no one will stop you. If they ask you what you are doing when you go out late at night, tell them to go to Chun'an County to get medicine." .”
After Fu Tianpeng remembered Li Zhongyi's words, he returned to the back garden to bid farewell to Li Gang. Li Gang asked Li Zhongyi to prepare fast horses for the two of them, and after leaving the city, they hurried to Aihua Mountain to find Yue Fei. The two thanked Li Gang for his careful care and rode along the city gate on their fast horses.
When the two arrived at the city gate, Wang Boxiang stopped them. Fu Tianpeng immediately showed the Taishi Mansion's exit sign for Wang Boxiang to check. Seeing that they were from Li Gang's house, Wang Boxiang quickly asked them what important matter they had when they left the city in the middle of the night.
Zhao Xueqing frowned when she saw Wang Boxiang asking questions. She pointed at Wang Boxiang and said, "General, do you need your permission to do what Mr. Li wants to do? I tell you the truth, we will go out of the city to Chun'an to get it." Medicine. This is an errand that cannot be delayed. If the effectiveness of the medicine is affected due to any delay, General don't blame us for telling the truth."
When Wang Boxiang heard what Zhao Xueqing said, his expression suddenly changed with fright. He knew that Li Gang and Qin Hui were having a very unpleasant quarrel at the door of the imperial study today. Mr. Qin was humiliated by Li Gang, and it was a great shame. Even the prime minister can't do anything to Li Gang, so why should we seek bad luck?
Thinking of this, Wang Boxiang rolled his eyes, smiled at Fu Tianpeng and the others, and said kindly: "You two just go out of the city, I won't stop you. But please make a note in the duty book so that I can go up." Face-to-face communication.”
Fu Tianpeng got off his horse and wrote Wu Xian's name in the duty book. Wang Boxiang saw him registering and waved his hand to signal the soldiers to open the city gate. Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing mounted their fast horses and galloped out of the city. The city gate was immediately closed.
Wang Boxiang watched Fu Tianpeng and Zhao Xueqing leave the city eagerly, and cursed at the closed city gate: "A servant can show off his power, which shows that the tutors in the Li family are indeed not very good."
After Wang Boxiang finished cursing, he took the duty book and went to find Qin Hui. When Qin Hui saw the duty book, anger appeared on his face. He ordered General Wang Ciweng to come and take a good look at the contents. Soon, Wang Cienweng got on the sedan chair and came to Qin Hui's house sleepily.
Before Wang Cien could say hello to Qin Hui, he threw his duty book on his face. Wang Ciweng was panicked and asked Qin Hui what was going on? Qin Hui asked him to take a good look at the duty book and think about it before he spoke.
Wang Ciweng followed the information registered in the duty book and screened it one by one from top to bottom. He found that the time for collecting medicine in Li Gang's house was always fixed, but tonight's time was different, and the people in Li Gang's house did not explain the situation.
Wang Ciweng found out the reason for Qin Hui's anger and immediately cursed Wang Boxiang, saying that he was confused and made mistakes.
Qin Hui waved his hand at Wang Ciweng and said to him: "I think there must be something strange about the two people who left the city late at night. Ciweng, you should send someone to Chun'an immediately. If you can't find those two people there, then It means that Li Gang lied. When the time comes, I will have my own way to deal with this old immortal."
After hearing Qin Hui's arrangement, Wang Cien immediately said to Wang Boxiu: "You should send people out of the city to search quickly. Remember to bring more people. This time, you must not ruin the prime minister's important event."
When Wang Boxiang turned around to leave, Qin Hui snorted and said: "General Wang, you must search carefully from house to house. Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you still have to find clues for me. I want to take a look at these two He really has the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth, but Li Gang is just telling lies with his red mouth and white teeth."
After Wang Boxiang led his soldiers to Chun'an County, they dug into houses and opened cabinets when they saw them, causing people here to panic. All the soldiers worked blindly and did not become ugly.
Seeing that the two men were not found, Wang Boxiang ordered the soldiers to tie up Blacksmith Sun and drag him out of the blacksmith shop.
Wang Boxiang said to Sun Tiejiang: "Old man, tell me quickly, have anyone from the Li family been here?"
Sun Tiejiang knew that Li Gang was a loyal man. In the court, he supported Han Shizhong and Yue Fei and advocated sending troops to the Northern Expedition to regain the lost territory. Such a good official who won the hearts of the people must not let bad people frame him.
Thinking of this, Sun Tiejiang kept silent. No matter how Wang Boxiang shouted, he just ignored him. When Wang Boxiang saw that Sun Tiejiang was silent, he became furious and took a whip to Sun Tiejiang's back and whipped him hard.
Tiejiang Sun stumbled to the ground, and Wang Boxiang immediately said: "You old man, if you don't tell the truth again, I will beat you to death."
After Wang Boxiang finished speaking, he raised his whip again. With anger in his eyes, Tiejiang Sun told Wang Boxiang categorically that even if he were beaten to death, he would not say a word.
Wang Boxiang was so angry that his face turned green. He said to Blacksmith Sun: "You old immortal, if you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine, and I will send you to the West."
When he was about to whip Ironsmith Sun, someone suddenly shouted from behind: "Stop."
Wang Boxiang was startled. He turned around and saw a man in blue cloth with a long sword standing in front of him.
This person has broad eyebrows, red phoenix eyes, a high nose bridge, white lips and red teeth. His thin face exudes a sense of righteousness. When Wang Boxiang saw him carrying a long sword and coming out to block him, he immediately ordered his soldiers to surround the swordsman.
The swordsman was frightened by the siege, but showed no fear at all. He opened his eyes wide and placed his feet in a formation, waiting for Wang Boxiang to attack.
