Chapter 183 Shall we run?
After Cheng Yi left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he did not return directly to his hometown.
Instead, he walked around in the street and confirmed that there was indeed someone following him.
Then he calmly walked into an inn, took advantage of the cover of the house, took off his gray robe and threw it into a room.
Then he left the inn directly through the back door.
Afterwards, Cheng Yi went back and forth in the same way several times, without daring to hesitate, and left Xianyang City before dark.
Scouts are also divided into several categories. Those who are rooted in the grassroots are just the most ordinary scouts. They just pay attention to the situation according to the orders issued by the officials above, or if they feel they have important information, they can take the initiative to report it.
This type of scout has the largest number of people, but they mainly work part-time.
It does not affect your daily life and does not require you to do anything dangerous.
On the contrary, if you just pay attention to the situation around you, you can get half a tael and a hundred and fifty taels every year. The official price of the Qin Dynasty is thirty and a half taels for one stone of grain.
Why not pay more attention to the benefits you can get?
And Cheng Yi, including Niu Er who had previously deceived Liu Bang, were all official members of the scouts.
Most of these people were selected from the military and, after a period of targeted training, were used to perform deeper tasks.
For example, confirming important intelligence, spreading some rumors, or inciting rebellion against the enemy, interfering with other high-level tasks.
Wang Buxu also protected this group of people very well. Although every mission was dangerous, as long as he could escape, he would be immediately transferred to another place to continue working.
In this era, changing a place is almost like a new beginning. No one will find you again, and no one will know you.
At the same time, Cheng Yi entered the inn for the first time.
"Where are the people?" Yuan Cong looked at the gray robe thrown on the mat with a gloomy look on his face.
"Who is so ignorant of etiquette?" The guest, disheveled and displeased, shouted after being interrupted.
However, when he saw the wooden sign hanging on Yuan Cong's waist, his unhappiness disappeared instantly.
He quickly took out some money from his pocket, put on a flattering expression and said: "You two, I didn't know it was you two before, so I'm so offended..."
"Where are the people?" Yuan Cong ignored the money handed over and continued to ask.
"Then... that... you two, if you think it's not enough, I can go back and get some more?"
"I ask where you are?" Yuan Cong pulled out the dagger from his waist and put it directly on the opponent's neck.
"Er... Erya... come out quickly... come out..." The man was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
However, the man still hasn't figured it out. He didn't steal anyone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he never heard from Erya that any of his relatives worked in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why was he suddenly targeted by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Of course, the man knew that his future was doomed at this moment.
He stole someone in broad daylight and was caught by people from the Prime Minister's Mansion...
Even if I can keep my official position, I'm afraid I will be squeezed out by these people.
A woman in her twenties came out from behind with a blushing face.
Yuan Cong couldn't help but frown. If it were in the past, he would certainly not miss such a good opportunity, but now...
"Go and have a look!" Yuan Cong quickly told the people around him.
Immediately afterwards, there was a banging sound in the house.
"no one……"
"I'll ask you again, where is the man?" Yuan Cong stared at the man.
"There are only two of us here. This is not a glorious thing. How could it be possible..."
"Where is the person wearing this dress?" Yuan Cong pointed to the clothes on the ground.
"These are not my clothes..." The man was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing.
Yuan Cong has already realized the problem, and the other party may have noticed that they are following them.
Immediately afterwards, they revealed their identity and found the store, made some inquiries, and followed the store to the back door. The room where they just found the clothes was the only way to the back door.
And they found the clothes because the window was not closed and they happened to be seen.
Since they can see it, the other party can naturally throw clothes in to confuse their sight.
"Ruined……"
After leaving the inn, Yuan Cong felt that his legs were weak and he was trembling even when he spoke.
"What...what can we do? The Prime Minister will kill us..." The young man following Yuan Cong muttered in a low voice with fear on his face.
This is not aimless.
Someone had been ordered to follow an official before, but was discovered by the official and used a trick to escape from being followed.
Afterwards, the man was kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion by Zhao Gao. Soon after, when colleagues were chatting, they mentioned that the man encountered a thief not long after leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was said that he died miserably.
Now, the two of them have also lost track of their target.
Although the other party was just an ordinary person, he didn't know why the prime minister ordered to follow him.
But showing up is not a pain in the ass...
No, he didn't...
In short, the Prime Minister will not have nothing to do to compete with an ordinary person.
Moreover, before they left, they heard someone say that the Prime Minister had sent someone to call the doctor.
Obviously it was because of what that person said just now that the prime minister could call someone to discuss or arrange something. Could it be an ordinary matter? Ordinary people?
"Shall... how about we run?"
"Run? Where to run?" Yuan Cong chuckled, with a look of helplessness on his face: "My family members are all in Xianyang. You and I are working as errands in the Prime Minister's Mansion. There are many people in the city who know us. As long as we leave Xianyang, the Prime Minister will
We will receive the news immediately, so where can we run with our families?"
"Then...what should we do?"
Yuan Cong's mind went blank at this moment, and he couldn't escape at all.
Unless they abandon their families and run away alone, they will be safe if they go to Han.
But Zhao Gao would definitely send people to chase them. How could he possibly outrun the pursuers with only two legs?
Yuan Cong sighed: "Hey, go back and tell the truth, at least it won't hurt your family!"
Although Zhao Gao is ruthless, he has never implicated their family members in general issues.
Therefore, in the consciousness of Zhao Gao and his subordinates, as long as it is not a huge mistake, even if they die, they will die alone. But if they run away, their families will be implicated.
"I...I think that Erya is okay. Anyway, I won't have a chance in the future, otherwise???"
I realized that there might be no hope of living, and it was even more impossible to go home now. I didn't have that much time.
There are three major things in life. Why can’t you be happy before you die?
Yuan Cong frowned slightly, this little guy is good at everything, he is sensible and has eyes, but he can't control his lower body.
If he hadn't been on duty at the Prime Minister's Mansion and no one would have dared to say anything, his lower body would have been chopped off and fed to dogs.
Yuan Cong shook his head and said: "You go ahead, I will go outside to look for clues and help you cover up!"
"Hey, good brother, my little brother will still follow you when you get underground..."
