"Ahead is the Dongshui Gate." Wang Chaozuo looked as calm as a dog, but he was still a little worried in his heart.
This area is already under the control of the White Lotus Sect. After entering the city this time, the White Lotus Sect and the three groups of people from our side quickly reached an agreement, but only in certain aspects.
Our idea is very simple. It is a demonstration to ask the tax supervisor to reduce the past taxes. We cannot ask for prices without standards. In this way, there will be fewer and fewer merchants, and the business of merchants will become lighter and lighter. There are so many in and outside Linqing City.
Those who rely on businessmen to make ends meet will not be able to survive.
Although I know that this action is risky, what can I do when I am desperate?
But when the White Lotus Sect got involved, Wang Chaozuo and the others panicked.
They didn't know how this group of people broke in, and they didn't even say hello to them before. It wasn't until the moment before entering the city that they learned the news from some people, but they no longer had the power to influence the situation.
I could only watch helplessly as those White Lotus cultists rolled into the city like a flood.
Now the situation has been controlled by the opponent, and Wang Chaozuo doesn't know what to do at all.
But now he actually has a backbone in his heart, and this backbone was brought by the young man next to him. Wang Chaozuo didn't even know if he was deceived enough to believe this guy's words.
"Where is Wang Chuantou going?" The voice coming from the side alley surprised Wang Chaozuo.
Under the torch, several figures emerged from the side alley. The first person had cold eyes, looking for something like a poisonous snake spitting out a message.
Seeing the other party's half-smiling eyes on the person behind him, Wang Chaozuo felt a burst of sweat pouring out of his back. After calming down, he said in a low voice: "It turns out that it's Gao Chuantou. Wang has never agreed to join you."
, why is it so late and Gao Chuantou hasn’t rested yet?”
"I can't sleep. Let's go out for a walk. Wang Chuantou hasn't answered Gao yet." Gao Yingchen glanced at the three children behind Wang Chaozuo. They were all only twelve or thirteen years old, but it was so late.
Why are you bringing a few children to Dongshuimen?
"Oh, my wife is sick again, so I won't let my nephew call me." Wang Chaozuo cheered up. This Gao Yingchen is from Caozhou, which is better. If he is someone from Li Guoyong, he will be in trouble.
.
"Oh, why, Gao Chuantou is a pity person, want to go back? I'm afraid I won't be quiet tonight." Gao Yingchen's eyes were piercing, and he never left Feng Ziying and the three people behind him.
Zuo Liangyu and Wang Pei'an were fine, but Feng Ziying obviously didn't look like a poor family. Although she changed her clothes, she couldn't hide it from the eyes of Gao Yingchen, who had been wandering around in the world for a long time. He should be a child from a wealthy family. Could it be that this guy was going to do it?
Favor, want to let someone out of the city?
"I don't dare. Gao really wants to go back and take a look, and he has also said hello to Mr. Li." Wang Chaozuo was not afraid of his lies being exposed. He had already arranged for someone to go to Li Guoyong when he sent Feng Ziying and the others over.
After reporting, by the time Li Guoyong found out, they had already left the city, so he pretended to go back, but he wasn't afraid.
This group of White Lotus sect people don’t say they are White Lotus sect, but they say they are Eastern Mahayana sect, and then they say they are Luo sect.
He has tried to persuade himself to join the religion several times, and he vaguely revealed that even people in the Jinan Mansion and the Chief Envoy's Department have joined the religion, but he doesn't know whether it is true or not.
"Haha, that Gao Chuantou has to leave early and come back early." Although Gao Yingchen was suspicious, he couldn't find a suitable reason to make things difficult for the other party. He had some kind of intention and had no intention of digging into the other party.
"Thank you Gao Chuantou for your concern. Someone knows." Wang Chaozuo waved his hand lightly and walked straight away.
Feng Ziying followed closely behind. He had already sensed that the young man opposite him was suspicious of several of them. However, his accent did not sound like an authentic Linqing accent, but more like a Lunan accent, and Wang Chaochen did not seem too afraid.
The other party, so he just pretended to be timid and followed Wang Zhaozuo.
"Zhuantou, shall we follow?" Gao Yingchen stood still and watched Wang Chaozuo and the three of them disappear on the roadside next to Dongshui Gate. He thought thoughtfully: "Let someone ask where Gao Chuantou's family lives."
"Ah?" The attendant behind him was surprised, "Don't you have to follow me?"
"Humph, this is someone else's territory, why should we worry about it? It's just that Wang Chuantou is a bit interesting." Gao Yingchen's eyes became colder.
This imperial minister does have some status and prestige in Linqing City, especially among the weavers and Sakon weavers. In the afternoon, when he called the other party "Zhuantou", he aroused fierce resistance from the other party and refused to accept this.
Although I objected tonight, it was not so fierce. This is definitely not a change of temper in a few hours, but the other party is unwilling to argue with me on this issue again. What is the other party worried about?
.
What are you worried about? Of course they are the children behind him. It seems that they are sending the children out of the city to hide in danger.
Gao Yingchen put his hands behind his back and kept looking forward. This was an opportunity to feel the opponent's bottom in the future.
Wang Chaozuo didn't know that he had exposed his flaw inadvertently. At this time, he wished he could speed up immediately, but he had to pretend to be normal. But now he didn't dare to directly let Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu into the water.
You still have to go back in a circle and find a suitable place next to the East Water Gate.
"Master Feng, remember what you said." Wang Chaozuo looked at the other party with a complex expression. At this time, he could only place his hope on the other party.
"Uncle Wang, although Feng is young, he also knows that people cannot stand without trust. As long as you follow Feng's words, you will naturally have a way out." Feng Ziying also said coldly: "It's just these few days.
But don’t go and join in the evil deeds. If you do evil by God, you can still forgive it, but if you do evil by yourself, you will not live.”
After talking, Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu changed into their swimming shorts and quietly entered the water. Zuo Liangyu also specially found a paulownia board for emergencies.
The canal water on a summer night was still very cool, and she shivered as soon as she entered the water, but Feng Ziying soon adapted to it.
In his previous life, he was a good swimmer. He even came out of the warm-water swimming pool an hour before being shuanggui. This was one of the few good habits he developed. Smoking, drinking, tea, and women consumed too much of his energy.
So even though he loved swimming, it didn't help him get out of the predicament of being a high school student.
Enter the water from the East Water Gate and head east. There is a checkpoint above the Water Gate, but it is already midnight. We only need to set up defenses on the city wall and the shore. It is not surprising that a few people from the Liang Gang dare to come in, so the defense is not strict, and Wang Chaozuo
He also climbed up to the top of the city wall at the right time to attract the attention of the sentry on the city wall.
When they heard the laughter of Wang Chaozuo on the top of the city wall, Feng Ziying and Zuo Liangyu, who had been lurking by the water, swam hard, stabbed the meng several times, and swam a hundred or ten meters away in one breath. This was the real escape.
Out of danger.
"Are you saying that the imperial minister is suspicious?" Xu Hongru, a Confucian scholar in blue shirt under the lamp, put down the volume of "The Sutra of Inaction in the World" and raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, the dynasty's zodiac is mysterious. One of the children following him is not like an ordinary person, but looks like a son of an official and gentry. I suspect that he wants to send the child to hide somewhere or leave the city." Gao Yingchen.
He bowed and said, "That's it?"
Gao Yingchen expressed another suspicion, and Xu Hongru, a scholar in blue robe, nodded.
"Your Majesty, your judgment should be correct. I'm afraid that this imperial minister has different intentions and is looking for a way out for himself." Xu Hongru, a scholar in green robe, rubbed his chin and said word by word. But Li Guoyong was already a little nervous.
He has taken precautions against us. If I try to interrupt again, I'm afraid he will doubt whether we are trying to do something in it."
"Then do I need to report it to the Reverend?"
"This is when the Hierarch wants to make great use of Li Guoyong. If there is no solid basis for these words, I'm afraid it's best not to mention them again, otherwise they will only make trouble." Xu Hongru shook his head, his eyes flickering, "
Forget it, I'll look for an opportunity to remind Li Guoyong, but it's hard to say whether he will believe it or not."
"What about us?" Gao Yingchen's heart tightened.
"We also have to make some preparations. Don't make any preparations when things really happen. I didn't expect this to happen in the first place, but the master and the eldest master insisted on coming all of a sudden, and there was a fool like Li Guoyong.
Just flatter them blindly, and even if something happens, it will also make them feel at ease. Don't think that the imperial court is really just a bunch of people, there are still some characters in it."
Xu Hongru put down his hands and regained his previous calmness. He stood up and walked around with his hands behind his back, "Our people are preparing to leave as soon as possible. It can be regarded as a glimpse of the mobilization power here, and we can make up for it one by one in the future."
