A servant pointed, and the catcher silently came over to take a look. He saw a young man lying on the bed, tossing and turning, with a layer of sweat on his flushed face, dry lips, and unsteady closed eyes, with eyeballs inside.
It moves around and makes noises from time to time. At first glance, it looks like it is immersed in a nightmare.
"Are you certain?"
"Yes, that's him." The servant replied without hesitation.
The yamen servants were all veterans. They knew it was a real illness at a glance. They thought it was bad luck and were afraid of infection, so they did not come forward. The head catcher said coldly: "You still dare to slow down work at this time and drag him out. Is it possible?"
You want me to do it!"
"Yes!" The officer had no choice but to go over and directly pull the person up and drag him to the ground.
Seeing that the man seemed to be awake but not yet awake, he didn't care. After confirming that it was this man, he tied his arms behind his back tightly and dragged him away.
"Wait a minute!"
When the person was dragged out of the courtyard and was about to be dragged to the front yard, a figure hurried over from behind, panting, making people worried that if he ran any faster, he would cough up blood on the spot.
"What are you doing?" The visitor took a few steps closer and took a look at the tied up people. He suddenly became furious.
"Hongdao is my prince's servant. Who are you? You went into Zhennan Bo's Mansion to arrest someone? Is there any royal method?"
"Shut up!" As soon as he finished speaking, a cold voice came from the front.
"Father..." Xie Zhenqing saw that it was Uncle Zhennan who was shouting at him, and he had something to say, but he was immediately glared at by Uncle Zhennan.
This glance made Xie Zhenqing feel discouraged and looked back at his father with a look of unwillingness.
"Pull him out, pull him out!" Uncle Zhennan felt very uncomfortable, but he had no choice. He waved his hand and asked people to quickly pull Hongdao out, out of sight and out of mind.
"Father, this...what is going on?" Xie Zhenqing asked with a very ugly face.
Zhennanbo sighed: "Yin Tanping of Shuntian Prefecture personally brought people to bring Hongdao, saying that Hongdao was related to the imperial examination fraud case and wanted to take him back for interrogation... Oh! Even my father was confused about this matter, but Yin of Shuntian Prefecture personally
We are here to take someone, and it is such a big case. My father is just an ordinary nobleman, how can I take care of it?"
"But father, Hongdao is just a servant of Zhennanbo Mansion and his son's servant. How could he be involved in the imperial examination fraud case?"
Xie Zhenqing said anxiously.
Seeing his son in such a hurry, Zhennan Bo felt uncomfortable. Although Hongdao was just a boy in Zhennan Bo's Mansion, if the matter went further, who knows whether it would cause a huge disaster to Zhennan Bo's Mansion.
?
Now he only hopes that Zhennan Bo Mansion can escape from this whirlpool. As for the consequences of Hongdao himself, he can no longer control it.
Although giving up directly like this will have a slight impact on the reputation of Zhennanbo Mansion, and it will also make some people think that Zhennanbo Mansion can be bullied, but when it comes to such a major case, it is not easy to escape unscathed. Where else can we go?
Thinking of something else?
He looked at his son, slowed down his voice, and persuaded: "Don't worry about him anymore. This is not your responsibility. If he is innocent, Shuntian Mansion will naturally release him. If he is really involved, then
There are court laws to decide, and it has nothing to do with you, so remember this!"
With that said, Uncle Zhennan hurried back.
Xie Zhenqing, who was left where he was, looked at the retreating figures of those people, his expression suddenly gloomy.
"what happened?"
"Why did Shuntian Fuyin suddenly lead people to capture Hongdao?"
Hongdao was captured. The sudden occurrence of this incident broke the plan and made Xie Zhenqing feel that everything was out of control.
The events of these years have obviously been in my own hands, so how could such a change suddenly occur?
Xie Zhenqing felt something ominous. For a person like him, such a feeling is by no means unwarranted. The appearance of any intense emotion is a sign!
"Is the secret coming back from heaven?" He subconsciously touched his heart and thought to himself. Thinking of this, his face turned pale immediately.
"It seems that I won't be able to stay in this house for long!"
You don’t need to go out to check, you can guess that there are probably people hiding around Nanbo Mansion in this town. If something like this happens, even if the person taken away is Hongdao, Zhen Anbo Mansion will definitely be taken away by Shuntian Mansion or even Shuntian Mansion.
Other forces are watching secretly, trying to dig out something.
He couldn't just go out, let alone call someone over.
Thinking of this, Xie Zhenqing walked forward slowly, but gradually got closer to the corner. Suddenly he took out an ordinary-looking pebble from his sleeve pocket and threw it out.
This stone is very small, but there are people outside looking at it, fearing that they will not notice this ordinary small stone without any writing on it.
But this is a code, and it has its own mystery.
He did not go to the front yard immediately, but walked slowly. Less than fifty steps away, in the grass nearby, a civet cat looked towards him and barked softly.
When others looked at it, they would only see Xie Zhenqing walking over and squatting down to tease the civet cat.
In fact, after Xie Zhenqing squatted down, he moved his hands and spoke quickly and quickly: "Listen, now there is a sudden change. Prince Zhennan is afraid that he will not be able to suppress it, so he is preparing to evacuate immediately!
"
The civet cat nodded slightly to him and got into the grass again.
Xie Zhenqing stood up again, this time speeding up and walking towards the front yard.
"Is this Hongdao?"
Tan Ping was standing in the front yard with his soldiers. Suddenly he saw a group of soldiers pushing a man over. The man looked young and his eyes were half-open. He seemed to be confused. He looked up and down and asked.
Such a sentence.
The responsible catcher immediately replied: "Yes, sir, this person is Hongdao! I will drag him out from his room!"
"What's going on with him?" Tanping asked with a frown when he saw Hongdao being pushed and fell directly to the ground.
Why does this person look a little off?
"Sir, this Hongdao is ill." Another clerk came over, grabbed Hongdao's hair, examined him carefully, and touched Hongdao's forehead. His forehead was hot and his face was flushed. This was indeed an illness.
"It looks really hot."
"Is he really sick, or is he pretending to be sick? I'm here to take a look!" Tan Ping didn't believe it when he heard it.
How could things be such a coincidence? There had just been an imperial examination fraud case, and soldiers came to take Hongdao back. As a result, Hongdao had a high fever? Is this pretending to be sick, or was someone poisoned?
Could it be that someone else is involved, and this Hongdao is just a cover, so someone wants to kill people without anyone noticing, right?
Tanping was the governor of Shuntian, and he handled many cases, but this left a sequelae, that is, he was very suspicious.
He walked directly over, leaned over, and took a closer look, trying to see if the kid was really sick and confused, or if he was pretending to be sick.
"Boom" came closer, and there seemed to be a faint muffled thunder in the distance, but Tan Ping listened carefully and found that it was gone again, so he couldn't help but frowned.
