38, Heavenly Prison walks the water (seeking to read)
If it was the early years of the dynasty, Xu Xing's strategy would probably go wrong.
There is a shrewd emperor in charge, and the officials below him will not easily disobey their superiors. The violent institution of the country will operate at high speed under their command until they find the two criminals and a group of rebels.
but--
At this time, Fengxi Kingdom had experienced fourteen emperors, and it was the 21st year of Chongming.
There are constant factional disputes in the court, and the atmosphere in both the government and the public is in chaos.
Just the large number of private slaves kept by the nobles of Shenjing cannot withstand the investigation of the imperial court.
If the Night Watch Division wants to conduct a city-wide search, it will definitely encounter resistance from the court. At least the power to search the city lies with the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department, which is affiliated to the Ministry of War and does not belong to the Night Watch Department.
Command enables control.
If you want to search the city, you need to first recruit the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division...
These are two sets of teams, constraining and restricting each other.
Therefore, the easiest place for the Night Watch Division to hunt them down is at the entrance and exit gates of Shenjing.
Leaving Beijing at this time is a real escape from death.
…
Evening, fourth watch.
Southwest of Shenjing, that is, the direction of Tianlao.
Suddenly there was a burst of fire, and the fire reflected half of the sky in Shenjing red, like a burning cloud.
The people in Shenjing were horrified and went out to watch from afar.
"Mr. Xu?"
"How is this going?"
King Kun, Gui Yishou and others gathered in the living room of the bungalow, looking at Xu Xing, their words full of confusion.
They didn't send anyone to set fire to the prison.
How could it happen that the prison was so strong that something suddenly went wrong?
"The prison is missing two prisoners, me and General Chang."
"It's a big sin!"
"As the saying goes, officials protect each other."
"If you have ever worked in a government office in Shenjing..."
Having said this, a smile appeared on Xu Xing's lips, "You should have heard the saying, 'There is little luck in Taicang, but there are many rats and ants in the household'."
"Please give Mr. Xu a detailed explanation..."
When King Kun Tian saw Xu Xing walking into the living room, he invited him to sit down on his side and said to him.
In terms of status, before the rebellion, he was just an ordinary farmer. Although Xu Xing was a prisoner now, after joining Siming Mountain, because of his natural official status, King Kuntian felt that he was inferior to Xu Xing in terms of status...
.
The fear of meeting an official is engraved in one's bones.
"Easy to say."
Xu Xing did not hesitate and took his seat safely, "Jixiang refers to the auspicious jar, which is used to prevent fire, and Taicang is a large warehouse used by the imperial court to store grains. The officials in charge of Taicang often sell the grains in Taicang to replenish the old ones.
Substituting inferior products for good ones, exchanging small buckets for large dendrobium trees..."
"Over time, Taicang suffered too much loss. But if they wanted to hide it seamlessly, they would deliberately cause Taicang to leak water and burn some of Taicang's warehouses. When these warehouses were burned, the water stored in the auspicious jars would often be reduced.
If there are too few, it will be difficult to effectively extinguish the fire..."
In ancient mansions, every courtyard must have a water tank, called an auspicious tank, which was used to prevent fire.
"The Ministry of Accounts is in charge of money, food, and household registration. It's easy to embezzle money from top to bottom and make a fortune. All you need to do is make a few changes in the account books. But as time goes by, the officials in the Ministry of Accounts are afraid of auditing the accounts, so they specially check the accounts.
The government office raises some rats and ants and lets them eat the account books..."
He elaborated on the origin of this sentence.
Prestige is established step by step.
As the established dog-headed strategist of Siming Mountain, he had to constantly use "information gaps" to make King Kuntian and others rely on him for knowledge, thereby gradually establishing his authority in this area.
Similar to Pavlov's dog.
Slowly form a conditioned reflex.
Training people... is similar to training dogs.
Not everyone has experienced the information explosion and orthodox education.
The rebels in Siming Mountain generally have a low level of education.
"I see……"
"There are so many twists and turns here..."
Everyone suddenly realized.
"According to what Mr. Xu said..."
"The reason for the leakage in the Tianlao tonight is probably because we switched Mr. Xu and General Chang out of the contract. The guards in the Tianlao were afraid that the matter would be leaked, so they deliberately used the leakage to cover up their dereliction of duty."
Before Gui Yishou joined the gang, he was a traveling magician with rich experience.
With a few reminders from Xu Xing and a little thought, he figured out the reason why the Tianlao was leaking at this time.
"If you put it this way, we can leave Shenjing soon."
King Kuntian is not stupid either, he said the key in one sentence.
The Tianlao used water leakage to cover up the dereliction of duty of the guards.
In other words, "Xu Xing" and "Chang Ji" were apparently dead. Even though the Night Watch Division was still secretly looking for them, the intensity of the search was definitely much smaller than during the day.
Even... give up the search!
After all, if the order to arrest the two men continues to be issued, then who are the two prisoners who died in Tianlao?
Malicious arson is a big eucalyptus.
Setting fire to the prison with malicious intent to cover up the crime is the worst of all.
"Yes, let's wait a few more days before we leave Beijing."
A smile appeared on Xu Xing's lips.
He also didn't expect that it would be so easy to escape from the prison and avoid being wanted.
Even if there are factors of his careful planning...,
But if you think about it carefully, the smooth progress of the plan has something to do with the "help" of the officials of the Chongming Dynasty.
The imperial court was rotten from top to bottom.
Not only can they not work in the same direction, they are also at odds with each other and constraining each other.
Of course, there were many savvy people in the court who were as smart as Han Sui, but it was because these people were so smart that they did not seek merit, but sought no faults, and did not dare to take responsibility, which allowed him to escape calmly.
Tianlao…….
"only……"
"Yun Niang..."
Xu Xing looked south silently.
…
Shenjing, night patrol department yamen.
"Lord Commander..."
"After my subordinates and others arrived, Zhao Yunniang had already left. According to Han Taipu's retainer, her destination was Jiangnan and she had probably boarded a boat..."
Baihu, dressed in Feiyu uniform, hurriedly walked into the central hall, knelt down on one knee and spoke.
"Tochuan Station?"
"Zhao Ma Yi?"
"This Han Sui..."
Commander Liu was sitting on the main seat, holding a charming girl in his arms. His big hands reached into Mei Ji's arms and kneaded her a few times, with a faint look of dissatisfaction on his face. "He lied to me, Commander?"
With the ability of the Night Patrol Division, it is not difficult to investigate in which direction Zhao Yunniang escaped.
But the process takes time.
The wrong guidance given by Han Sui caused the Tiqi of the Night Watch Department to waste a lot of time, resulting in the Night Watch Department failing to arrest Zhao Yunniang.
"pain!"
"grown ups……"
Mei Ji frowned slightly and let out a cry of pain.
"Lord Commander..."
"Servant Han sent you a box of snacks to the commander."
At this moment, a figure appeared outside the door, it was Butler Sun who was following Han Sui.
"dessert?"
"Haha... I would like to see what he is capable of."
Commander Liu took his hand away from Mei Ji's arms and took the snack box handed to him by his subordinate Eagle Dog.
The snack box is made of painted mahogany.
It looks quite luxurious.
He opened the snack box and saw that there were nine compartments in the snack box.
Except for one of the boxes containing a pastry, each of the remaining boxes contains different items, including carved gold balls, silver peonies, jade ornaments and other precious objects, a total of eight kinds.
"My master said that when entrusted by others, you must be loyal to them!"
Steward Sun got the promise and entered the hall. When he saw Commander Liu, he said this first.
