Chapter 261: Substituting one thing for another, a secret letter is sent to
"I know what's going on. How is Zhao Xuan doing?"
"It seems that since you and I broke up, Sun Qianfeng ordered the motorcade to run at night and arrived in the capital three days ago. However, Zhao Xuan is still in prison. If she is not executed immediately, it means that there will be another trial at the Third Law Department.
We have plenty of time."
But Zhou Shi sighed: "Wu Zhaokun's father-in-law is still operating secretly. It is very possible that Zhao Xuan died in prison 'accidentally'. Let's try our best to deal with Wan Shengwei's side today...is that right?"
Coming!"
A group of people turned into this main road. There were four strong attendants surrounding a sedan carried by two people.
It was still dark at this time, and they were not in a hurry. Anyway, they had walked this road maybe 800 times, and they were already familiar with it, and they were very confident that they could deliver the master on time.
But after they skillfully turned two corners, they suddenly heard an "Ouch!" coming from behind the team.
The back of the sedan hit the ground, and the team immediately stopped. The four attendants suddenly became alert and shouted: "What's going on!"
"It's okay, it's okay, I just tripped..." the bearer behind the sedan explained in a low voice.
"Get off the sedan! Look at your Excellency!"
An attendant didn't care about avoiding the taboo. He stepped forward to lift the door curtain and saw Master Wan who seemed to have just been shaken awake and was staring at him with an unhappy face.
"Yes, I'm sorry." The attendant hurriedly closed the door curtain and said, "My lord is fine, go on, be careful this time! If you throw me down, you will have a hard time! Get up!"
"Well, the little man's foot seems to be sprained..." The bearer who almost fell down just now rubbed his ankle and groaned.
"What an idiot!" the attendant cursed, tightened his clothes and stood behind the sedan, squatting under the lifting bars, "You go back by yourself, I will carry the sedan, lift it up!"
"Yes, yes..." The bearer shivered and stepped back, watching the team go away.
Then, he breathed a sigh of relief and leisurely returned to the place where he fell. There was a big hole two people deep.
He jumped down, carried one of the two people who fell in the hole to the ground, helped him to the roadside and sat down, took out a cool bun from his pocket, smelled it, and put it under the man's nose. Seeing that the man woke up leisurely, Yu Heng, who was pretending to be a sedan bearer, breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:
"Master Wan, I just offended you."
As soon as Wan Shengwei opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the roadside, in front of a man whose face could not be seen clearly in the night.
"You, who are you? Where am I?"
"Master Wan, please be at ease. I will send you back to the sedan immediately." Yu Heng pulled out the secret letter and handed it to Wan Shengwei. "Here is a letter from Teeth. Please open it and read it at your convenience.
It’s important, please read carefully!”
Seeing that Wan Shengwei seemed to be frightened and did not react, Yu Heng had no choice but to stuff the secret letter into the old man's sleeve, carry him on his back, and run quickly in the direction of the team.
"Next, I have to apologize to you. The dust here is a bit big... Let's jump into this hole and wait for the sedan to come. I can hear the footsteps... Okay, please stay on my shoulder and listen to the sound..." <
/p>
"Dingling bell..."
The bell hanging on the sedan rang, and the team stopped quickly. A servant came to the sedan and asked: "Sir, what's wrong?"
Wan Shengwei's frail and old voice came from the sedan: "Go faster, don't be late..."
"Yes. You guys, hurry up and leave!"
After the team disappeared at the next intersection, where the sedan stopped just now, two people climbed out of the ground - or, in other words, a deep pit on the road.
"Wait a moment."
Zhou Shi, who was wearing an official uniform, moved his fingers and heard a whistling sound in the distance. A burial shovel that was as long as a person was "fished" by a golden wire across two intersections.
"Thank you." Yu Heng took the corpse shovel and went to an alley beside the road. He dug up a piece of earth piled inside, filled it into the hole, and patted it gently. The road surface was smooth as before.
"There is another hole, hurry up."
"Here you go. How about it? No secrets are revealed, right?"
"This is not only the first time I have sat in a sedan, but also the first time I have sat in a bottomless sedan. Fortunately, it was dark enough that the attendants did not dare to look inside. Did you give him the secret letter?"
"Yes. This experience must be very profound, and Wan Shengwei will definitely take a closer look."
Zhou Shi thought to himself: It is rare for Yu Heng to be reliable, and this plan is indeed good.
Long before Wan Shengwei's team arrived, Yu Heng used the methods of a corpse buryer to dig two holes from the roadside and hollowed out a space under the road to form two tombs, with only a thin layer of burial chambers.
The earth is separated from the ground - only the unique skills of the corpse buryer can prevent such a tomb from collapsing, and then hide in one of them with Zhou Shi.
When the sedan chair passed by, he relied on the sound of his footsteps to accurately trap the bearer at the end of the queue into the tomb. He jumped out of the tomb, unknowingly taking the place of the bearer and pretending to have sprained his foot. And Zhou
In fact, he used his calligraphy hand to cut through the soil and the bottom of the sedan chair, and brought the napping Wansheng Vera into the tomb, using a yellow beam pillow to force him to sleep with the sedan bearers.
The face painting changes into Wan Shengwei's face and jumps into the sedan chair.
When the team lifted up the sedan again, Yu Heng, the fake sedan bearer who had left behind, handed the secret letter to Wan Shengwei, and then took him on a small path to surpass the sedan and enter the next tomb. When the sedan passed overhead, Zhou Shi rang the bell to call.
Stop, Yu Heng immediately opened the ground under the bottomless sedan, and worked with Zhou Shi to send Wan Shengwei in, and then asked Xiao Lin to sew the bottom of the sedan with red thread.
The whole process was almost entirely carried out underground, and the attendants on the ground were completely unaware that the master sitting in the sedan had been transferred twice.
The main reason why they went to great lengths was that it was difficult to predict what Wan Shengwei would do after receiving the secret letter. As a fifth-rank prime minister of Dali Temple, he had been in a confidential position for many years. When handling the case, he received a secret letter.
The most rational reaction is to seal the sealed letter and hand it in without ever opening it. No matter what is written in it, you can ensure that you are safe and sound.
But being kidnapped and sent back under the guard of the attendants is enough to demonstrate the strength and determination of the person who sent the secret message, and the signal revealed is quite threatening: I can return the jade to Zhao intact, or I can kill everything, if you are not willing to take the risk
Open the letter at your own risk.
The kidnapping of court officials involves a major case. I wonder if my head is enough... Zhou Shi smiled bitterly and watched Yu Heng pull the real bearer out of the tomb and then fill the tomb. p>
"What should he do? If he goes back like this, he will inevitably be kicked out, right?"
Yu Heng chuckled, wiped his sweat, and said: "It's impossible. There are rules in the court. All employees in an official's family must be recorded in the book, and they are not allowed to be added or removed at will. This is to prevent corruption, and secondly, if an official breaks the law, he will be punished.
Having people close to you who can testify will facilitate the investigation.
"Besides, do you think this is an ordinary worker? Anyone who can serve beside the Prime Minister of Dali Temple has not spent money to establish relationships and ask for recommendations. Wanfu will not do anything to him."
"Really or not..." Zhou Shi was a little surprised. In his understanding, it would be difficult for a bearer who has thrown a sedan chair to find a job - at least this is the case among the people.
Yu Heng said with some pride: "What does this mean? I heard that there are second-rank officials in the court, and the bearers at home are few years younger than the master, but in order to set an example, they refuse to fire them. Every time they go out, four people
There are sixty-year-old old men each carrying a walking stick, carrying a sedan chair slowly, and all the onlookers are sweating... This sedan bearer may have a better life than you, why are you worried about him?" p>
