Chapter 92 Where did the people go?
It was just past noon, and the city guards were inevitably feeling tired after a whole morning of interrogation.
Just at this moment, a long transport team slowly came over.
The leader was a tall man in his forties, who was also an old acquaintance.
When the general guarding the city saw him, he looked at him and said hello.
The soldiers guarding the city surrounded the goods and began to inspect them.
Most of the items they transported were large boxes and things like vegetables, fruits, and grains.
Before, the soldiers just did a casual inspection, but this time they seemed to be looking for a longer time.
The generals guarding the city were also watching with eager eyes. When the leading man saw this, he stepped forward and quietly handed a bag of silver coins to the soldiers guarding the city.
Upon seeing this, the general guarding the city immediately pushed the bag of silver back with a cold face.
"This is a special time, so please don't hurt me."
"This is just a small amount of money, just to buy you and your brothers a cup of tea."
The man in the lead had a smile on his face.
"That won't work either. Take it back quickly."
The general spoke a little more sternly.
The leading man saw that the general was not refusing, so he took the things back.
Finally, the inspecting soldier nodded to the general.
Only then did he let him go.
"Okay, let's go."
The leading man finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly told everyone to move faster so as not to delay the passage of those behind.
Just as they were about to leave, at the critical moment, a group of people suddenly arrived and surrounded them.
"What...what happened?"
The leading man took a step back and looked at the newcomer in horror.
In front of him, Shen Hechuan walked over slowly.
Seeing this, the leading man hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to salute.
"Your Highness, there is absolutely no problem with the items we are transporting. Please take a closer look!"
Hearing this, Shen Hechuan chuckled, “Whether there is a problem or not, just check it out and you will know.
As Chen Hechuan spoke, he couldn't help but look at the long line of fully loaded ox carts.
His face was stern and he snorted coldly.
"Come here, unload everything from here."
The leading man knelt down and begged, "Your Highness, please don't do this, Your Highness.
The items we are transporting this time are extremely important. If we are delayed, I am afraid I cannot bear it!"
Hearing this, Tianji rolled his eyes at him.
"With His Highness here, who dares to punish you? If you still refuse to obey, open all your belongings."
Seeing this, the leader wiped the sweat from his forehead, slowly stood up, and ordered people to unload everything on the ox cart.
Almost at the same time, the soldiers surrounding them also began to move.
They were so rough that they even knocked all the hay off the ox cart.
Chen Hechuan watched nervously the whole time, waiting for Gu Jingchun and the others to appear.
After removing the layers of things from the top, long boxes appeared in the middle of the ox cart.
Shen Hechuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw this.
The leader immediately panicked when he saw this.
"Your Highness, these are all my possessions. They are definitely not illegal gains. I hope you can understand!"
Chen Hechuan stared at the box the entire time, not even glancing at the steward, and said directly: "Open it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and opened the lid.
When the manager saw this, he felt sweat all over his forehead and closed his eyes in despair.
Chen Hechuan stared at the lid motionlessly.
At this time, the lid was opened, revealing a box full of golden jewels.
The people around were so bright that they could hardly open their eyes.
Seeing this, the manager spat out two words in despair and sat down on the ground helplessly.
"It's over."
"It's all over."
Chen Hechuan's face turned pale as he looked at the box of gold, silver and treasures.
Then, several other boxes were opened, and they were also filled with gold, silver, treasures, silks and satins.
Shen Hechuan was stunned.
The brain paused for a moment.
What's going on?
Where are the people?
Could it be that his calculation was wrong?
At this moment, he started to make plans from the moment he learned the truth that night. In order to prevent Gu Jingchun from getting suspicious, he did not reveal anything to the people around him.
Even the people guarding the city did not have any images of Gu Jingchun.
But now, where has she gone?
And it was just an hour ago.
Just before Gu Jingchun and Luo Ziqian were about to arrive here, Gu Jingchun suddenly stopped.
She asked Luo Ziqian,
"Luo Ziqian, let me ask you, who does Li Ping belong to?"
Luo Ziqian paused for a moment after hearing this, then said, "It's Shen Hechuan's people."
Gu Jingchun was silent for a moment, then continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you should also be from Shen Hechuan."
Since he knows the people around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he must have a close relationship with Chen Hechuan.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian had no choice but to nod his head after looking into Gu Jingchun's eyes.
After hearing this news, Gu Jingchun took a deep breath and said decisively: "Then we can't go to the place you mentioned this time."
"They can't transport us out."
Luo Ziqian frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"
"Because we have been exposed."
“Isn’t that obvious enough?
Gu Jingchun explained, "Isn't it obvious with the sudden strengthening of the defenses and the sudden appearance of Li Ping?"
"That fellow Shen Hechuan must have guessed that you would take us out of the city in disguise, so he deliberately let Li Ping guard there, forcing us to use the second method."
"Once we hide in the transport team and reach the city gate, we will be trapped.
Being caught by Shen Hechuan is only a matter of time."
Luo Ziqian suddenly understood after hearing this.
"So what should we do now?"
Gu Jingchun was silent for a moment.
To be honest, she didn't know what to do now.
She still has some of the prince's seals on her, which she can use to open the city gate and leave the city at a critical moment, but it will also attract Shen Hechuan's attention.
At that time, it would probably attract more pursuers, which would be even more troublesome.
At this moment, a shout came from the crowd.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way."
"This is Princess Rongyang's carriage, please get out of the way!
If you offend the princess, you will be in big trouble."
A gorgeous carriage slowly drove towards the crowd.
Outside the carriage were only a few guards and a palace maid.
It seems that she ran away from the palace secretly.
At this moment, one of the guards was driving away a beggar who was blocking the road with disgust.
As Gu Jingchun looked at the scene, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up and he spoke slowly.
"I've figured out a solution."
At this time, outside the carriage, the palace maid Lu'er was comforting Princess Rongyang Shen Rongyang.
"Your Highness, please don't be too sad. The dead cannot be resurrected. If you continue crying, I'm afraid it will hurt your body."
"Brother Ziqian is gone now. What's the point of me living? I might as well go with him."
