Among the people arrested last night, there were no guards related to Xing Zizhou.
And the guard said that as long as he gave them double the money, he could still help them get out of the city.
Because Boss Yuan suggested postponing his departure, Feng Jiuer did not dare to take risks easily.
If they are really discovered, they may be arrested and carefully examined, and the human skin masks on their faces may no longer be able to be maintained.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.
The spies reported that the royal army was about to enter Xixi City. Now, they could not leave without leaving.
In Feng Jiuer's plan, they were to move to Luoyang City before the Royal Army entered Xixi City, and to move to Feglaixi City before the Royal Army entered Luoyang City.
Feglai City, Feglai East City and Feglai West City were the first cities that the Royal Army began to search.
Next, maybe they can follow the pace of the Royal Army and go south.
"I heard that the mayor is going out of town tonight, should we take advantage of this opportunity?"
During lunch, Feng Jiuer looked at Boss Yuan and asked.
After a few days of getting along, there was no longer any barrier between the two of them.
"How to say?"
Boss Yuan raised his eyes and met Feng Jiuer's gaze.
Feng Jiuer poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip.
"First, I think it's time for us to leave, and second, while the people are miserable, the mayor is making a lot of money."
"The food supply in the town has increased tenfold, and the food sold in every restaurant is too expensive for people to eat."
"Boss Yuan also knows that if the mayor hadn't been behind all this, they wouldn't have dared to be so bold."
"If the people leave the city without giving them enough money, not only will they not be able to leave the city, they will also be punished."
"You talk about imperial orders? Now the price of leaving the city is clearly marked. No wonder there are complaints everywhere."
"Boss Yuan, I have a plan to kill two birds with one stone. What do you think?"
Feng Jiuer raised her fingers.
Boss Yuan approached her, and she leaned over and whispered something in Boss Yuan's ear.
There was Qiao Mu at the same table.
Qiao Mu ate as usual without asking anything.
At night, a carriage came down the path and stopped not far from the city gate.
A man dressed as a guard came out from under a big tree and hurried forward.
The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Xing Zizhou's face was revealed.
"The remaining silver."
The guard stretched out his hand to him.
Xing Zizhou frowned and handed out a piece of gold.
"Brother, your price increase is too much right now. We really can't afford it. Can you be accommodating?"
When the guard saw the gold, he immediately took it, opened his mouth and took a bite.
His eyes were bright, and after hiding the gold, when he raised his eyes, his expression darkened.
"No, there's not enough of them, so we can't do the job."
"You go back, lest something happens later, I won't be responsible."
"Brother, the price is raised every time. Every time we come back, the price has changed again. No matter how much money we have, it's not enough."
Xing Zizhou frowned.
"Just be accommodating. We are really in an emergency. The family outside can't wait any longer. Just do it!"
"alright."
The guard waved his hand as if he was a good man who would do whatever it takes.
"Seeing that you are sincere, I will give you a chance. You will be smarter later. If you can't get out, don't blame me!"
"well."
Xing Zizhou nodded, "Wait for another two quarters of an hour, right?"
"Um."
The guard shook off his clothes and left, "I am not responsible for missing the time!"
As soon as the guards left, Xing Zizhou lowered the curtain.
The groom drove the carriage and left this place.
On the other side, when the mayor was going out, the horse pulling the carriage fell ill and was forced to stop.
It happened that the mayor didn't know what happened, and fell asleep as soon as he got on the carriage.
The groom had no choice but to leave him behind with the mayor and go back to find someone to help him.
When the groom came back, he met a man wearing the clothes of a guard riding by. The groom told him what had happened.
The guards who had arranged for the mayor to leave rode their horses and headed back along the road.
After all this trouble, the mayor arrived at the city gate two quarters of an hour later than the time he and the guards had scheduled.
Before that, a carriage had left the city.
The decoration of the carriage was exactly the same as that of the mayor's house. Everyone thought it was the mayor and opened the door to let them go.
The mayor appeared at the city gate at the time agreed by Xing Zizhou and the guards. Just at this time, the selfless General Lei arrived.
The guard who accepted Xing Zizhou's silver had no intention of letting Xing Zizhou leave. The amount he gave was not enough, which just gave him a chance to claim credit.
The guard thought that as long as he insisted that he had not confiscated the money, these people would not be able to do anything to him.
He wanted to keep the recovered silver for himself and claim credit from others.
Unexpectedly, I just received news that General Lei is here.
The mayor's carriage passed by, and the guards strode out and blocked the carriage.
At the same time, General Lei arrived and stopped a few feet away from them.
"What are you doing?"
The guard's sonorous and powerful voice sounded.
His voice was so loud that he woke up the mayor in the carriage.
The mayor is going out of town tonight, not because he wants to bring any goods, but because he wants to raise a woman from outside.
Seeing General Lei, all the guards went over and blocked the carriage.
The groom didn't know what was going on behind him, so he looked at the guards and frowned.
"You don't have to recognize me, but you don't recognize our master, right?"
One of the guards recognized the groom as the guard who helped the mayor go out.
He has been staying here and has not left. The guard who met the carriage on the road just now was someone pretending to be Zhao Yusheng.
The guard looked at the groom with a confused look on his face.
Didn't the mayor go out just now? Why did another mayor come?
But regardless of whether the person inside is the mayor or not, if General Lei is here, he will never dare to talk nonsense.
"Why don't you get out of the way quickly!"
The groom's voice became deeper.
"Who do you care who your master is?
The emperor’s order is here, and no one is allowed to disobey it.”
The guard who collected Xing Zizhou's money shouted righteously.
He thought that he would soon become a high official.
In Xixi City, General Lei is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. As long as General Lei appreciates him, he will have nothing to worry about for the rest of his life.
"You..." The mayor's groom glared fiercely at the guard standing at the front.
"What are you?"
The guard felt that he had been recognized, but he could never admit it.
"Today, except for the emperor, no one else can leave here!"
"Neither can I?"
The people in the carriage were annoyed by the noise.
He opened the curtain and stuck his head out.
"Town, mayor?"
"Is it the mayor?"
"Zhen, Zhen..." "Plop" and "Plop" were heard several times, and the guards knelt down one after another, even the one who spoke the loudest was no exception.
The mayor's eyes fell on the guard kneeling in front of him.
"It was you who said it just now. You said I couldn't pass through this door, right?"
The guard took a deep breath and lowered his head.
He never expected that the person who intercepted him was the mayor.
