Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1816: The whole city is hunted!
Chapter 1826 The whole city is hunted!
"Assassin, the king's secret guards came out, and the merchants all over the city also moved after hearing the wind. Taiyuan City is about to become chaotic now!"
Taiyuan city, and the back hall of the prefectural governor.
An old man in a scribe's costume arched his hands toward the imposing middle-aged man in official uniform.
This middle-aged man is the provincial governor Wang Liaoyuan. When Li Zexuan intercepted the Witch Tribulation at Longmen Pass, he borrowed soldiers and horses here!
"Wang's secret guard came out?"
After hearing this, Wang Liaoyuan frowned slightly, and couldn't help asking: "What happened to make the Wang's secret guards come out and make such a big noise?"
Although Wang Liaoyuan is a descendant of the Taiyuan royal family, he is now an official of the state governor, which represents the imperial court. Suddenly all of the king’s secret guards were exposed to the public, and such a big fight made him very difficult for a while. do!
The scribe handed his hand and said: "This old man doesn't know! I just heard that the Wang family seems to be searching for two people in the city. One is a Turkic businessman who has just arrived in Taiyuan two days ago. It seems to be called Zhu Hongsheng, and the other is behind the scenes of Chuji Ironware Shop. The owner Kang Changan!"
At this hearing, Wang Liaoyuan became more and more puzzled. He murmured: "A Turkic businessman, an owner of an iron shop, what does the Wang family look for?"
After pondering for a moment, Wang Liaoyuan got up and said: "Let someone prepare a car, and I will go to Wang's ancestral house!"
He just heard that Wang Yu had just returned to Taiyuan today, so he could meet him.
At this moment, a sergeant came in outside the door, and threw a fist to Wang Liaoyuan in the hall, saying: "Reporting to the governor, the Patriarch of the Wang family sent a letter, saying that you must personally open it!"
"Oh? Present it!"
Wang Liaoyuan's expression moved, and he quickly ordered the sergeant.
"Here!"
The sergeant stepped forward and handed the letter to Wang Liaoyuan with both hands. Wang Liaoyuan took it. Seeing that the letter was still sealed with flame paint, he couldn’t help but look solemn and didn’t immediately open the letter. Wang Liaoyuan said to the sergeant: "You Go on!"
"Here!"
The sergeant left.
Only then did Wang Liaoyuan open the letter, but seeing only a few words on the letter, Wang Liaoyuan's expression suddenly became more solemn.
The scribe next to him couldn't help but curiously said: "Assassin, what do you say in the letter of the Wang Family Patriarch?"
Wang Liaoyuan immediately put away the letter, and said with his hand: "The imperial guards of the king's secret guards are instructed by the court to go down. Let the state government officials not act rashly, let alone obstruct them. Everything is as usual. What should I do? !"
"The imperial court?"
The old scholar of scribes was surprised when he heard the words, and when he reacted, he hurriedly said: "Yes!"
After that, he turned and left.
Wang Yu expected that the Wang family was in such a big fight, and the governor's mansion would definitely receive the news and take action, so he wrote a letter to Wang Liaoyuan.
However, in this letter, he did not give too much explanation, nor did he ask Wang Liaoyuan to send out the government officials to help find people together, because it is about the safety of Li Tai and others and the Turkic spies, so those who know As few as possible, Dugu Flying Eagle can keep him strictly confidential. Furthermore, when it comes to finding people in Taiyuan City, the power of the Wang Family is far beyond that of the Cishi Mansion, because there is no need to let the government officials come to this muddy water again!
However, although Wang Yu's letter is extremely simple, Wang Liaoyuan can also realize from the words that it is absolutely extraordinary. As for the specifics, it is difficult for him to guess what is unusual.
"Taiyuan City, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful soon~!"
Wang Liaoyuan stood with his hand in his hand and murmured with emotion.

South of Taiyuan City, Yi Temple.
The so-called Yi Temple is the Chenghuang Temple. In ancient times, as long as there was a city, there was a Chenghuang Temple. It is the opposite of the Earth Temple. The Earth Temple is built in a remote rural area, and the Chenghuang Temple must be a place with a city. Said it is the superior of the Earth Temple.
The earliest Chenghuang Temple was called Yimiao. In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Murongyan, a famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, fought against Liangjun near the Yimiao. He didn't want the gods in the Yip Temple to be obvious and helped Murongyan defeat Liangjun. From then on, the Yip Temple was flourishing and famous. Vigorously. After the Tang Dynasty, as the internal strife in the Tang Dynasty subsided and the external disturbances cleared, the border gradually stabilized and the people gradually lived and worked in peace and contentment, the imperial court began to build temples in various places, and at this time, the temple was renamed the Chenghuang Temple.
The folk worship of the city gods began to flourish during the Tang and Song dynasties. The Song Dynasty even listed the city **** offerings as national ceremonies. In the Ming Dynasty, it was even more important. The highest level of the Chenghuang God was regarded as the "Supervision Division Xianyou King", and his position was the first grade, and he was equal to the Taishi, Taifu, Taibao "San Gong" and the right and left prime ministers.
Taiyuan City is the largest city in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty. Although the folk custom of worshiping the city's gods has not yet been widely established at this time, there is still a city's **** temple in Taiyuan. Oh, it should still be called the temple at this time!
At this moment, under the incense table where the gods are enshrined in the temple, there are actually two people hidden, two men to be precise, one of them is wide and fat, with a rich face and a chubby belly, the other The figure is not very fat, but he can’t hold him tall. The incense table dedicated to the gods is only two feet high. He can only sit on the ground with his knees holding his knees and sitting on the ground like a wronged little daughter-in-law. In this way, if he can't stretch his body vertically, he can only stretch his body horizontally!
But don’t forget, there is a big fat man with a wide body and a big waist squatting beside him. This incense table dedicated to the gods not only has limited vertical space, but also limited horizontal space! As he sat on the ground with his legs in his arms, the two immediately huddled together back to back. At this time it was the end of July. Although the midsummer was over, this autumn tiger did not forgive people at all. After a while, both of them were sweating from the heat!
"Zhu Xiesheng! Did your wife deliberately reveal whereabouts?"
At this moment, the tall middle-aged man couldn't help but rushed to the big fat man beside him.
The fat middle-aged man next to him turned his head and cried out injustice: "Boss Kang, what you said is wrong? Why did I deliberately leak my whereabouts? What good will I do for me now? It’s not only you, but also me who are wanted!"
Looking at the face of this middle-aged man, it is surprisingly Zhu Hongsheng who went from Tongfu Inn to Chuji Ironware Shop this morning, and then disappeared without a trace. Oh, it seems that his real name should be Zhu Xiesheng! Dugu Feiying really did not guess wrong, this guy's surname is Zhu Xie, from the Shatuo tribe of Turkic people!
In this way, the identity of the other man is ready to be revealed-Kang Changan, the owner of Chu Ji Ironware Shop!
Now the Wang family has deployed all the forces in the open and secret areas to search for the two of them in the whole city. Who would have thought that they would hide in the temple in the south of the city?
"Hmph! Then do you have anything to hide from me? Otherwise, why are there so many people in Taiyuan city tracking our whereabouts?"
Kang Changan let out a cold snort, dissatisfied.
Zhu Xiesheng smiled bitterly, and said: "This... Boss Kang is joking, I have something to hide from you, and this time I came to Taiyuan City, I didn't provoke anyone? How could someone follow you today? ? Now you and I are trapped here, and there are people staring at the gates of the Quartet, how can this be good!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Xiesheng wiped the sweat from his forehead with a bitter expression on his face.
It’s not that after they quietly escaped from Chuji Ironware Shop, they didn’t expect to leave the city gate, but when they first walked to the south city gate, Zhu Xiesheng happened to see a familiar face and followed him in the morning. The two who went to the iron shop! At that time, Zhu Xiesheng's souls were all gone, and he quickly pulled Kang Changan to get out of other city gates, but it didn't take long before there were many black warriors on the streets of Taiyuan City. They searched from house to house and seemed to be looking for them. There were two people with a guilty conscience, and they quickly dodged around. Later, by eavesdropping in the corner, they confirmed that the black warriors were looking for them!
For a time, Zhu Xiesheng and Kang Changan were hiding in Tibet all the way to avoid search, and finally hid in this temple and under the incense case!
"Huh! Isn't it all you killed? I knew that, the old man shouldn't let you in this morning!"
Kang Changan let out a cold snort, depressed.
Zhu Xiesheng said helplessly: "Oh! Boss Kang, can't you say that? We have cooperated many times, and we have been in peace. Who knows that this time was discovered? It's just that I am a little strange, why chase It is not the people in the Datang Yamen who are arresting us, but the guards of the royal family?"
This is a bit true, a bit false, I am afraid only he knows it!
"You don’t know, where do I know? But if the people in the yamen are okay, as far as I know, the king’s family in Taiyuan is more powerful than the yamen. We want to go out of the city now, if it’s Biden It’s still hard"
Kang Changan rolled his eyes. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhu Xiesheng, and he didn't even bother to look at the other side.
In this small space under the incense case, there was a moment of silence.
"Cuckoo~!"
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded between the two of them. Then, Kang Changan turned his head and looked at Zhu Xiesheng with a weird look. Of course, he couldn't see Zhu Xiesheng from this angle. Face, can only see the chubby belly of the other party.
Zhu Xiesheng noticed Kang Changan's movements, rubbed his stomach a little embarrassedly, and said: "Ahem! This one fled and didn't pay attention to dinner at noon. Boss Kang laughed!"
After hearing the words~IndoMTL.com~Kang Changan was speechless.
After a pause, Zhu Xiesheng licked his face and said, "Boss Kang, you said it’s not a problem for us to hide here. There is no food, no water to drink, and no waiting to be caught by the Wang family. Let’s starve to death or die of thirst! You have many ideas, please help think of a way!"
"Think of a way? Now that the entire Taiyuan city is a member of the royal family, it would be nice if we can have a place to live. Where else can we go? For the current plan, we can only wait!"
Kang Changan has no good airway.
What Zhu Xiesheng said, did he not know? It's just that he has been doing business in Taiyuan for many years, and he knows how powerful the Wang family has in Taiyuan City. With the two of them, wanting to escape under the full pursuit of the Wang family is nothing less than wishful thinking!
"Perhaps...maybe the person who warned us in the iron shop may help us~!"
Suddenly, Kang Changan said for no reason, said.
