Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 388 388. Manhunt
[I haven’t been in good shape these past two days, so these are the three chapters today]

She turned around in mid-air and faced the "battlefield".

Put your toes on the horse's head a little more, then land on the ground, and run straight to the "battlefield"...

"Lady, come back!"

Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked. This little lady was too troublesome!

"My husband, don't worry..."

Dong Shuzhen didn't even look back, just waved her hand.

In desperation, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly came up with a plan.

"Ouch! Ouch! My wife... my heart aches for my husband... Ouch... come back soon..."

Standing high on his horse, Zhu Xiuyuan covered his heart with his hands, bowed his waist, and his face was twisted, as if he was in great pain.

"what!"

After hearing this, Dong Shuzhen stopped and looked back.

After seeing Zhu Xiuyuan's appearance, his beauty suddenly turned pale, he howled loudly, turned around and ran back.

"Husband...how are you? Husband, are you okay? Husband..."

When Dong Shuzhen returned, Zhu Xiuyuan fell off the horse in pain. She immediately supported Zhu Xiuyuan.

Fortunately, Dong Shuzhen is a martial arts practitioner and is very strong, otherwise she would not be able to help Zhu Xiuyuan, who was "powerless".

That young Sikou, Wei Mi focused his eyes, he has seen through everything.

He knew that Zhu Xiuyuan was pretending.

But he only had blue veins popping out on his forehead, closed his mouth tightly, and watched this scene with bulging eyes.

Shao Sikou was extremely tired of this kind of affection between children.

Delay!
As long as a person is "contaminated", he is like a fish caught in a fishing net.

The whole person is almost "semi-wasted"...

……

Perhaps because Zhu Xiuyuan pretended to be so realistic, Nayan Dashan was also startled and dismounted and ran over.

"Madam, madam..."

Zhu Xiuyuan grabbed Dong Shuzhen's arm, and after making sure she wouldn't run away again, he said with difficulty: "Help me husband...go back home!"

"Okay, okay, let's go back home..."

Dong Shuzhen cried and carried Zhu Xiuyuan on her back.

Although Zhu Xiuyuan weighs [-] kilograms, Dong Shuzhen can completely carry him.

She wiped away her tears and rushed towards the "battlefield".

Because if you want to return home, you first need to enter Xufu Street, and if you want to enter Xufu Street, you first need to pass the "battlefield".

"Miss, uncle..."

Xia Wu followed behind, guarding against a sneak attack.

"Emperor..."

Yan Dashan was also frightened and followed him.

Zhu Xiuyuan turned his head and glanced at Yan Dashan, winked at him, and glanced at Shao Sikou.

Yan Dashan was not too stupid and immediately understood what his benefactor meant.

After escorting his benefactor and benefactor through the "battlefield", he stopped and walked towards the young Sikou...

……

There is chaos in the capital today!

Empty alleys.

Except for Jinwu Guards, Yulin Guards, and Yamen officials, there was no one on the street!
It's like an empty city.

It seems that the last time such a chaos occurred was when the Yan army invaded the border.

There were times when the streets were empty, causing panic.

And what’s even more speechless is that the chaos happened just a few days ago...

Now, there is chaos in the capital again...

However, the people in the capital have long been familiar with it. This kind of turmoil is like a "fire drill", and few people actually suffer.In fact, all you need to do is stay behind closed doors...

……

Let's talk about Dong Shuzhen, who carried her husband back to her home, crying, and hurriedly ordered Xia Wu to ask for a doctor, but she was stopped by Zhu Xiuyuan.

He thought of another way to dispel her worries, believe that he was fine, and make her laugh.

That's how it went.

Two hours later.

The time came to the beginning of Youshi, which was about five o'clock in the afternoon.

Yan Dashan finally returned home.

"How is the situation?" Zhu Xiuyuan asked hurriedly.

"Engong, not long after you left, the imperial guards stationed in the capital came in large numbers and surrounded the men in black. None of them escaped, and they were all wiped out!"

There were some blood stains on Yan Dashan's clothes, but they belonged to the man in black, and he was not injured at all.

"But the Jiangning County government office... was almost completely destroyed! The men in black set fire to it, burning the entire county government office into ruins inside and out!"

"Hey, these men in black are so bold. In broad daylight, in the clear sky, at the feet of the emperor, in the most virtuous place in the capital, they dared... to set fire to the county government office!"

Zhu Xiuyuan sighed, feeling slightly unnatural.

This matter has caused such a big fuss, and it seems that...it happened precisely because of him.

This afternoon, in the Shenleifang, if he hadn't ordered Yan Dashan to let the fierce dogs chase and bite Zhang Ke, I'm afraid there would not have been the next scene.

He was just "swatting a fly". Why did he become like this after swatting him?

However, Zhu Xiuyuan was only a little unnatural and had no regrets. Anyway, the matter had come to this and was irreversible.

What else can we do? !

Time will not go back.

Zhu Xiuyuan was very able to forgive himself.

"My benefactor, my subordinates have also figured out why Mr. Sikou, the young master of the Prison Department, got involved and almost died at the hands of the man in black."

"Oh, why?"

"I don't know, but the magistrate of Jiangning County is indeed not a good person. He has been an official for decades and has committed quite a few crimes. Moreover, he also left evidence in the back house of the Yamen!"

"Oh! In other words, the Jiangning County magistrate and his family are really bad people?"

I wish Xiuyuan happy, and the last trace of unnaturalness in my heart disappeared completely.

His behavior this afternoon should be regarded as "removing harm for the people"!
This is a righteous act!
"My benefactor is right. Mr. Sikou, the young master of the Criminal and Prison Department, led the detectives into the county government's back house in order to be the first to get the evidence."

"In other words, the reason why those men in black... set fire to the county government office was to destroy the evidence left by the county magistrate?"

"My benefactor made a good guess, it is true!"

"I see that Mr. Sikou was being hunted down in a panic. I thought... no evidence was obtained!"

"My benefactor, I once heard Mr. Sikou laughing loudly and saying that God is not as good as man. He actually grabbed some evidence from the man in black, but he handed it over to a policeman for safekeeping..."

"When the man in black was chasing Master Shao Sikou, the policeman had already returned to the Prison Department Yamen. According to the clues in the evidence and the pictures, he was arresting people all over the city!"

"Oh, the detectives from the Prison Department, who did they arrest?"

"Engong, that's too much. According to what I heard from my subordinates, there are 36 people from the household department, 27 people from the military department, 11 people from the Lihua Palace, and 28 people from the Runzhou government office. Oh, even the people from the Runzhou government office Lord Sima has been arrested..."

Runzhou is actually the state capital where the capital is located, and the state government is also in the capital.

Runzhou has two capital counties under its jurisdiction, Shangyuan County and Jiangning County, and there are also suburban counties such as Jurong, Yanling, Qu'a, and Dantu.

Yan Dashan talked endlessly, talking to at least two or three hundred people, and he also said that this was just the tip of the iceberg.

According to Yan Dashan's estimation, this time the Prison Department was all over the city to arrest people, and I am afraid that about 1000 people were arrested at once!

"So many!" Zhu Xiuyuan was shocked.

"That's because only a part of the evidence fell into the hands of the prison chief. If all of it fell into the hands of the jailer, the entire capital might be turned upside down!"

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but be speechless.

And he had a premonition that there might be a mysterious organization, or a mysterious network, covering the capital, parasitic on the people of Chen State, and domineering...

The more than a thousand people arrested by the Prison Department this time are probably only a very small part of this organization, or this network, or peripheral personnel!
