Chapter 314: North Gate
Qin Tianhua immediately received an order to ask his subordinates to go to the four city gates to Xuan the oral orders of the Regent.
Then the Regent learned from the carriage and horse carriage that the carriage and horse carriage had gone out at night, a donkey carriage and a ox carriage.
He ignored the blood from the wound and led his men to the north gate of Rongcheng where he was rushing to the carriage.
Rongcheng is originally a transportation hub, which bears the intersection of various small countries around and Dayan trade. Due to this special reason, Rongcheng has no curfew. The gates around the city are open from day to night, but there are guards guarding them for twelve hours.
Sometimes, there are more trucks and horses entering and leaving the city gate, which is caused by selling goods in the east and west markets as soon as the day begins.
Chen Yuntang was sitting in an ordinary green shed carriage driven out of the carriage. Four old marquises were guarding the carriage. One carriage was used as a coachman. The remaining three were riding horses. The four were wearing short shirts that most ordinary people liked to wear, with leggings tied around their ankles, and dressed in a typical Rongcheng family servant.
Although I was in a carriage, the speed along the way was not slow.
When I arrived at the north gate, I saw a queue at the city gate waiting to leave the city.
Most of them are businessmen driving horse carriages and ox carriages.
Chen Yuntang's carriage could only join the team and ventilate.
When Chen Yuntang saw the carriage stop, she lifted a crack in the curtain and looked outside. When she saw the long waiting for the team outside to leave the city, she couldn't help but frown. She always subconsciously felt that the changes in Rongcheng were related to the Regent.
Perhaps hearing the movement in the carriage, the old marquis who was driving the carriage said, "Miss 3, don't worry, Chen Hu has already gone to inquire and will be back in a while. If we can't leave the city tonight, we will have a place to rest, so the old slave has already arranged it."
Although he said this, Chen Yuntang knew that with the regent's shrewdness, if they could not leave Rongcheng tonight, then she would be found by him without waiting for her tomorrow morning. Once he discovered it, Chen Yuntang could not guess what would happen if she was waiting for her and the Hou's Mansion.
"Okay, I understand, thank you Uncle Chen."
The old marquis's personal guard risked his life to Rongcheng to join her and protect her. She called her uncle, that's what she should do.
Hearing Chen Yuntang's call, the fat old guard's eyes were slightly hot.
"Miss Three doesn't need to thank you. We old guys are supposed to do this."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Hu, who went to inquire, came back.
It was said that the superiors issued an order, and some wanted criminals fled, and all those who left the city would be inspected one by one. Even the carriages and ox carts that transported goods would be investigated, for fear that the villains would hide in the goods, so they tried to follow them out of the city.
After getting this news from Chen Hu's mouth, Chen Yuntang knew that this was just an excuse. I'm afraid that the one who was investigating was not the wanted criminal, but her!
The person who inspected must have seen her portrait. If she recognizes her, she will be the wanted criminal who was chased!
Chen Yuntang whispered to several old men in the mansion: "It was the order given by the Regent."
Chen Hu frowned and said worriedly: "What should we do? Should we find a place to hide for a few days before leaving Rongcheng?"
Chen Feng, who was replaced by Chen Yuntang as Chen Er, shook his head, "No, we must leave now. If we don't leave, the city gate will probably be closed. At that time, the person who caught the turtle in the jar would be afraid that we would hide anywhere in Rongcheng."
Chen Yuntang nodded and agreed with Chen Feng's statement.
"Uncle Chen Er is right, we must leave the city immediately."
Chen Hu frowned, "But the third lady..."
The person inspecting the city gate must have seen the portrait of Chen Yuntang. What if Chen Yuntang is recognized?
Chen Yuntang knew what Chen Huwei said meant.
She said bluntly: "Uncle Chen San, no one knows my daughter's identity. These people would not have thought that the marquis of the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion would wear women's clothes and dress up as women to go out of the city. When they saw that I was a woman, they would definitely not have thought of the marquis of Yongxing Marquis. Moreover, Uncle Chen San, do you think I dressed very much like the marquis in this way?"
Chen Hu looked up and down at Chen Yuntang. This was not the little marquis he remembered. He wanted to say that this was the daughter of their mansion.
When Chen Yuntang was wearing men's clothing, her face and eyebrows had been slightly modified, and even the man's thing was prepared. Now she has changed back to women's clothing and wiped off her eyebrows that were deliberately thickened. She has no intention of pretending to be hoarse when she speaks. She has also put on makeup and applied her mouth fat. Her long black hair is drooping, and there is no trace of the little marquis.
Chen Hu quickly shook his head, "Okay, then let those people check and leave the city."
So their troops were in good condition and lined up to be inspected at the city gate.
Although these soldiers who inspected them had specially seen the portrait of Chen Yuntang, the portraits they drew were not sketches at this time, and they were very similar. So several young people were already pressed aside by the soldiers guarding the gate and treated them as suspects.
Even those soldiers who were suppressed were desperately shouting innocent people ignored them and said that someone would come to recognize them in person later. Those who were not criminals would be released on the spot.
After a queue of tea, Chen Yuntang and his party were finally here.
The team guarding the city gate waved to the silent man who was driving, "Hurry up, there are many people behind you!"
Chen Xiao immediately whipped the horse and drove to the inspected soldiers.
The team with a mustache was asking loudly: "Is it the carriage to be dragged or the people?"
Chen Yan jumped out of the front of the carriage and bowed to the team, "The master of returning soldiers, the third lady in the carriage is sitting in the old slave's house. He is the shopkeeper of the shop in the city. Tonight, the master of the family is gone. Several of us servants rushed to the city to pick up the third lady and go back to attend the funeral. There is no male at home, but we are just waiting for the third lady to go back to preside over the gift! But it is impossible to delay, and the tribe is eyeing it!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his cuff and stuffed it to the team leader who was asking questions.
The team was looking at the fact that these old servants were dressed simply, and each face was bitter. It was so late and they drove the carriage out of the city. It was indeed like that. Moreover, there was no male at home, and it was really heartbroken. I guess the third lady in the carriage could temporarily hold the house.
However, this order was overwhelmed, and he did not dare to be careless at all.
If this is true, he would immediately feel at ease and go home, but he would have to wait until he checked the carriage.
The team was taking the broken silver, weighed it in their hands, played with it for a few moments, and said with a smile: "Brother, I dare not accept this money. If I say this, even if I have been hit by the Grandpa Sun's carriage today, we have to check according to the regulations."
