“Feither?! Do you say Zhou Ruqing is going to escape to the Great Zhou territory?!”
“That’s right!”
The corrupt official who was almost on the verge of despair did not care about the steel knife on his neck, and he only focused on plundering people’s wealth, and even blatantly undermining the laws and regulations of the court, without any hesitation…
Anything like this, others may not be able to see what Zhou Ruqing was thinking about because of the limitations of the times and the traditional concept of the hometown that it is difficult to leave, but Sun Shaozong immediately thought of the word “flight”.
After all, in the era he once lived, corruption officials fleeing can be said to be the most common routine!
Faced with the current situation of death, Zhou Ruqing and others wanted to survive, they would probably have to “escape with the money”!
Also, because Tianjin Mansion is quite a distance from the land border, if you want to carry a large amount of gold, silver, and soft flee, you can almost only choose from sea routes.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong was on the dock and paid attention to those large ships that could go out to sea and ocean, hoping to find evidence of Zhou Ruqing’s attempt to escape.
However, the number of these sea ships actually exceeded Sun Shaozong’s expectations.
He didn’t dare to alert the enemy at the moment, so he could only send someone to investigate secretly – but he just relied on the two officials and a servant beside him, but he didn’t know when he would find out.
If there is no clue yet, Zhou Ruqing will flee to the sea with his people first, and then he will find the people’s wealth and ointment back, it will be as difficult as heaven.
Therefore, on the way back, Sun Shaozong thought about where to find some more people.
There are also many soldiers and horses that have been achieved. There are at least thirty or forty people in the local Dragon Imperial Guard Hundred House that can be sent by him.
But the problem is that Sun Shaozong has never seen Jia Shanyao before, and he doesn’t know what his relationship with the Governor’s Office is. If Jia Shanyao himself is involved, wouldn’t it be like asking him for help to himself?
I was in a dilemma, but by chance I ran into Xiang Yi and was troubled by others. Seeing that he was honest and quite scholarly, he had a grudge against the Governor’s Office, he had his ideas.
Unlike Sun Shaozong’s habit of light carriage, almost everyone who travels as officials these days is surrounded by people, and Xiang Yi is naturally no exception.
There were at least a dozen servants he accompanied and the servants he carried. As long as half of them could be trusted, it would be almost enough.
But after Sun Shaozong briefly analyzed his inference with Xiang Yi, Xiang Yi shook his head like a rattle: “It’s impossible, it’s impossible! Those stupid guys usually do it, but how can they dare to entrust them with such a huge relationship? If the news is leaked, wouldn’t Xiang become a sinner for the ages?!”
Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “It’s true.”If not, Xiang disguised himself and went there…”
“No need! “
Sun Shaozong hurriedly interrupted him. This person was a standard scholar, and he was not diligent in his five bodies and four grains. If he really wanted to go out to find out the news, he would be afraid that if he couldn’t say a few words, he would make people see the problem.
“Brother Xiang, in fact, there is no need to tell the people below about the joints. We just need…”
Sun Shaozong explained this a few times, and Xiang Yi suddenly felt his eyes lit up.
He didn’t care about asking Sun Shaozong’s opinions, and he grabbed the storefront in a few steps, and shouted loudly: “Call everyone in, I have something to explain! “
The officials and servants of the family knew that he had just suffered a grievance and had nowhere to vent his resentment, so he naturally did not dare to neglect the situation, and rushed into the living room.
Sure enough, it was strange to Sun Shaozong’s guess, and there were as many as fifteen people in the old and young.
“Brother Xiang. “
Sun Shaozong hurriedly reminded in a low voice: “It’s just about finding a few capable people, there is no need to send them all out. “
Xiang Yi suddenly realized that he was usually stupid and then rushed outside to continue carrying his luggage, and then said to the rest: “I believe you all know that now that the Governor’s Office has nowhere to exert its anger, so he took his anger on us Cangzhou people. If we stay in this Tianjin Mansion, it is hard to say whether this official can go back alive. “
When everyone heard this, they waited to comfort him with a few words.
