He has been weighing whether to kill these people
"Come here, take Luo Tianhao and his attendants to the government office!"
"yes!"
There was a deafening shout outside, and there were more than 160 people coming.
Luo Hou gave up unwillingly. He couldn't kill anyone and couldn't guarantee that no one would escape.
But he might not be able to stay in the imperial city anymore, so he made the worst-case scenario plan and let the person go.
"Please give my child some respect!"
"Don't worry, Lord Luo. After the inspection by the government office, we will send someone to send it back to the mansion."
But by then I’m afraid you won’t be able to keep your mansion, and I wonder if you’ll still be in the mood to collect the bodies.
He felt the murderous intent just now, and he must have expected that he might be mentioned in the charges, so he had to report it quickly. This matter could only be handled by the emperor.
After Captain Wu's men left, Luo Hou immediately ordered his death squad to assemble.
"Call everyone, take important things, and leave quickly!"
He wanted to escape before the incident broke out. Fortunately, there was a place that his son didn't know about. He could hide there and make plans later. There was a lot of gold and silver hidden there, enough for him to use.
As for the other two places that my son knew about, we should take as much as we can and leave most of them behind. As long as we can escape in time, there is still a chance.
The Marquis' wife took gifts to Hu Jijiu's house early in the morning to ask for forgiveness. Not only was she beaten out and scolded by Hu's family, but on the way back she was surrounded by a large group of students, who shouted that her son should be punished, and that they should also be punished for not disciplining their son properly and for not reporting the crime.
At first she tried to retort a few words, but later she was so talked down by the students that she couldn't even open her mouth. She had no choice but to hide in the carriage in shame until she entered the gate.
Although the students did not follow in, they kept surrounding the mansion. Simply punishing Luo Tianhao was no longer enough to solve the problem, and they refused to agree.
Who would believe me if I said I didn’t know?
The Marquis's wife hurried to see the Marquis and found that his men were packing up.
"My Lord, please think of a solution quickly. The group of students outside have followed us to the gate of the mansion, constantly denouncing us and demanding that we be punished as well."
Luo Hou thought that one of the children was from the Hu family, and today's incident must have been instigated by Hu Jijiu.
"Didn't I ask you to go to the Hu family and ask for forgiveness? How come you can't even do such a small thing?"
"Why didn't you go? I went there early in the morning, but they wouldn't let me in. After I got in, I just opened my mouth to ask them to let me go, and then a group of men and women beat me out.
They don't look like a family of scholars at all. Each of them is as fierce as a tiger.
The women tore and scratched me, and the men even beat my servants with sticks. They smashed a whole cart of gifts. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been beaten to death. Look, there are still scratch marks on my face.
Haha, you're letting people off the hook. Are you asking for forgiveness or giving orders? If not you, who else should I hit?
"Idiot, get back to your yard and don't come out!"
"You blame me for everything. Why don't you go? And those people outside, just ignore them and let them make trouble?"
Luo Hou was in no mood to care about this or that at this moment.
"Shut up, send the lady back to the yard, and don't let her out without my order."
He didn't have time to deal with anyone now. The most important thing was to pack up and run away. As for the marquis's wife and the concubines in the courtyard, he didn't plan to take any of them with him. These people were all burdens.
"Wait, what are you boxing all this for?"
Why does she look like she's about to run away?
"Put away some valuables to prevent them from being damaged when the government comes to search."
Just found a reason
"You should go back and collect them too."
Send him away quickly.
When the Marquis's wife heard this, she remembered that if her son was taken away, the house would definitely be searched again. Some things really could not be left outside, and those that were too conspicuous had to be put away.
Without thinking much about it, or asking how his son was doing, he turned around and went back to his own yard.
"A fool is a fool, humph!"
While he was busy packing boxes after boxes, No. 2 and No. 3 came to report,
[Luo Tianhao is dead, but Captain Wu has obtained the evidence.]
Luo Hou is about to escape and is gathering his men and collecting his property. Number 1 is still watching and asked us to report back.
"Captain Wu didn't send anyone to watch?"
[He left a number of guards outside the palace. He reported it himself. The arrest of the Marquis of Zhenxi requires the emperor's order.]
[But Luo Hou didn't seem to need to leave through the main gate. He packed his things and left in the courtyard. There must be a secret passage leading outside.]
"It might be too late for Captain Wu to get the order."
"Mom, we have to find a way to keep him."
Bai Zhiyue did not plan to send a letter directly to the emperor this time, because the lost property of the Li family and the things in the Luo family's underground palace were all taken away by her. If she took the initiative to send a message at this time, she would inevitably be suspected of having taken away a large amount of property.
This kind of thing can't be exposed
"Congcong, call a few more helpers to deliver the letter to his wife and the woman in the backyard."
Bai Zhiyue quickly wrote a few notes with her left hand
[The Marquis' son has been killed by the Marquis, and the evidence has been taken away. He is about to abandon you and flee for his life.]
Let's make chaos in his mansion first.
"Okay, I'll do it right away. I have plenty of subordinates, so I can easily call on a large group."
[Don't expose yourself too much. Find someone smart to deliver the letter. Don't let anyone know it's you.]
[I understand. Those who are not smart cannot serve as my subordinates. Don't worry!]
Then he called Yan Dong
"Have you heard the rumors outside today?"
"I heard that last night, more than ten corpses were carried out from Luo Shizi's courtyard, and more than a dozen young men were rescued. It was truly a crime. This morning, the Marquis's wife went to the Hu family and was beaten out. Hu Jijiu hates people like this the most.
Even his students were so angry that they ran to the Marquis's residence to petition for punishment for the Marquis and his wife!
"Well, go find Ma Dong right away and have him bring more people with him and make a big fuss along the way, saying that he's looking for the Marquis to explain his intentions and break into the mansion. I'll reward you handsomely later.
If he asks why I did this, I can only say that I can't stand the Luo family's behavior. Killing someone means paying with one's life, and debts must be paid. It's only right. I want to petition for the people."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
After some of the victims learned that something had happened to Master Luo, they had already run to the yamen to seek justice. Once they shouted, there would definitely be people following them to demand an explanation.
And there are people gossiping about this everywhere on the street, and they can attract a large group of people who like gossip.
He happened to bring the students outside the mansion with him. They were not ordinary people, many of them were from major families. In addition to the people left outside the mansion to guard, Luo Hou did not dare to attack them for a while.
So many people don't believe he dares to kill
Knowing that he was trying to escape, people from the Bingmasi, Yingtianfu, and Dali Temple would take action. All they had to do was delay him before the emperor's men arrived.
Finally, she disguised herself out of concern and planned to follow him to see if he really escaped. If he really did, she would find a smoke screen at the exit so that he would not be able to escape even if he entered the secret passage.
