Chapter 231: Liang Taishou was assassinated
Zhu Mingqing just sat down to rest: "What's the matter?"
Luo Xiao said excitedly, "News from Jizhou: The Guancheng government has increased its patrols. I heard that Jizhou Governor Liang was assassinated!"
"Haha, I wonder which warrior is so powerful that he could give Governor Liang a hard time! If I knew, I would definitely reward him generously!"
Hearing this, Zhu Mingqing's expression calmed down, but the worry that had been suppressed in his heart finally dissipated a little.
Success!
No matter where the injury is...
"Yes, how is the injury?" she asked.
Luo Xiao: "I'll go out and ask around." Then he ran away.
The city of Zhending in Jizhou at that time.
The elegant sunlight shines on every corner of the city, but it cannot ease the stagnant atmosphere.
The officers and soldiers searched back and forth, and the whole street was filled with a tense atmosphere. The number of people doing business also decreased a lot.
Luo Tian carefully poked his head out and saw a pair of soldiers approaching. He immediately closed the door and ran into the house, saying nervously, "Brother Duoduo, the soldiers are coming!"
This is a pharmacy, and the owner is a friend Dou Duoduo knew before.
"Hurry, hide!"
The owner of the drugstore opened the bed board, and the two men quickly jumped in, and the bed was restored to its original state.
In order to remove the bloody smell in the house, he quickly opened the window and started to boil medicine next to it.
"Open the door, open the door quickly!" The officers and soldiers were outside, knocking on the door loudly.
The owner of the drugstore sniffed carefully, smelled nothing, and then opened the door with a smile.
After the officers and soldiers came in and searched around and found nothing and were about to leave, the shopkeeper just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the leader stop and his eyes fell on the messy bed.
"Are there any patients coming today?" he asked.
The shopkeeper turned around and looked, his eyes rolling: "No, it's me, I just took a break."
"Oh? I haven't even asked, but you already know the answer?" The officer's face became serious, and he walked towards the bed with his sword in hand.
"Sir, I really am here to rest." The shopkeeper tried to stop him, but was stopped by two swords at his neck. Beads of sweat streamed down his face.
Oh no!
The person who was checking kicked the edge of the bed. Dou Duoduo, who was hiding inside, signaled Luo Tian with his eyes that if he was really discovered, he would stop the person and you could take the opportunity to run away.
Luo Tian desperately shook his head and mouthed, "Let's go together!"
Dou Duoduo is so disappointed with his son that he never tries to be a hero.
Luo Tian whispered, "I can't run far by myself anyway!"
There were notices everywhere on the streets outside, and he didn't want to go find the second young master. If he implicated the other party, he might as well die now.
Dou Duoduo held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to rush out with Luo Tian as soon as he was discovered!
The officer knocked on the bedside and turned over the bedding, but found nothing. However, he felt that there was a strange smell in the room. "What is this medicine for?"
The shopkeeper said hurriedly, "I made this for myself. I couldn't sleep at night these past few days, so I made some medicine to help me sleep!"
He estimated that if he and Duoduo joined forces, they should be able to kill a few of the people who came, but the prerequisite was that they could not make any big noise.
Just as the officer was about to knock on the empty bed board, a commotion came from outside: "Sir, there's movement in the south of the city. They say a suspicious person has been spotted."
"Walk!"
The shopkeeper closed the door immediately after watching these people walk away, fell to the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Come out."
“Thanks, brother!”
Dou Duoduo came out and thanked him.
The shopkeeper waved his hand quickly: "When are you going to leave? If the soldiers come again, I really can't stand it!"
Dou Duoduo pursed his lips: "Tonight, Xiaotian and I will leave tonight!"
Luo Tian hurriedly said: "Brother Duoduo!"
The city gates are now under martial law and they can't get out at all.
The shopkeeper sighed, "I don't want to kick you out, but tell me, how serious a crime have you committed... I have a family, I really don't dare!"
“Bang, bang!”
There was another knock on the door.
Suddenly, the hearts of the three people present skipped a beat.
The shopkeeper was also getting anxious. The knocking on the door outside was getting louder and louder, and it seemed that someone was about to break in. Dou Duoduo only had time to give Luo Tian a hint to get under the bed before the door was broken open.
He immediately lifted the quilt to cover the bed and hid himself behind the curtain.
When the shopkeeper saw that the person coming was not an official, he almost gasped for breath. He was really scared to death!
"Dear customers, we are closed today. Please find another pharmacy."
He glanced at the newcomer and said, "Where are those two people? Let's go find them!"
The shopkeeper, Taiyangxue, jumped suddenly and pretended to be dumb: "Who are you? I'm the only one in the pharmacy now!"
Seeing his unfriendly look, the visitor immediately explained: "We are here to rescue him. Just tell him the three words 'Madam Zhu' and he will understand."
"There's no one else here. Do you guys not understand or what's going on?!" The owner of the drugstore was anxious and wanted to kick people out.
Dou Duoduo's eyebrows jumped behind the door curtain. Could it be that he was really Madam Zhu's man?
But as I said before, there will only be him and Luo Tian this time.
Dou Duoduo didn't believe it.
The door of the pharmacy was closed. Two men entered the room and whispered around, "Dou Duoduo, Luo Tian, come out quickly! We don't have much time. We must get you out before the city gate closes!"
Seeing that they could still call out his and Xiaotian’s names.
And since he was so sure that he was here, he must have been following for a while.
Thinking back to the arrow that saved me today—
Dou Duoduo came out.
The two of them also stood up: "Let's go!"
"Wait, is there a token?" Dou Duoduo asked doubtfully.
"No!" one of them said impatiently, "If we were government officials, we wouldn't be here chatting with you. Are you leaving or are you going to be arrested by the government?"
Seeing that they didn't look like they were lying, Dou Duoduo knocked on the bed and followed Luo Tian out the door.
When the two men dressed up as soldiers and followed him out of the city without arousing any suspicion, Dou Duoduo was surprised beyond words.
Madam Zhu, you are truly amazing!
"Leave the city and return to Jizhou territory as soon as possible!"
…
Luo Xiao excitedly described the current situation of Liang Taishou to his mother. "I heard he's unconscious, and the Supervisory Censor has taken this opportunity to start investigating. When he wakes up, the world of Jizhou may change!"
Fen Tao walked in quietly and whispered a few words in the lady's ear. Zhu Mingqing's eyes lit up slightly: "Come on, follow me to meet them!"
Luo Xiao also hurriedly followed.
When I arrived at the front yard, I saw two people who were almost unrecognizable.
He exclaimed: "Xiaotian, what have you done? You look like a beggar."
Luo Tian touched his head embarrassedly.
Luo Xiao asked again: "Who is this?"
"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Thanks to Madam's help, Xiaotian and I were able to get out safely." Dou Duoduo stood up and said respectfully with a fist clasped.
Zhu Mingqing was puzzled: "What kind of help?"
Dou Duoduo: "Huh? Xiaotian and I were almost trapped in Zhending and couldn't get out. The person who rescued us said that he was asked by the Madam. Didn't you send anyone?"
Zhu Mingqing's heart sank: "Never before!"
Who on earth has been observing my whereabouts?
Dou Duoduo also realized the seriousness of the problem, "Who is the other party?"
"Wait, what are you talking about? I don't understand." Luo Xiao asked hurriedly.
No one paid any attention to him.
