Chapter 132 Unexpected meeting
The guests in the lobby of Mingyue Tower looked at Hou Qing and the six-door captains to go up to the second floor under the guidance of the madam.
"That's it..."
When the madam pointed at the door and wanted to tell Hou Qing, Hou Qing had already kicked the door away just as she spoke.
A few head catchers who had been preparing for a long time immediately drew their swords and rushed in.
But the room was already empty at this time.
After quickly rummaging through all the places in the room for hiding, but finding nothing, Hou Qing looked at the madam hiding by the door like a quail.
"Where is the other person in the room except Lord Zhang?"
"Official, there is no one else in Lord Zhang's room?"
The madam looked puzzled.
"Mr. Zhang is indeed waiting for someone, but after waiting for about half a stick of incense, he seemed to have left angrily when he saw that the man did not come."
"What you said is true?"
Hou Qing's brows couldn't help but frowned.
Did Zhang Bin lie to me, or did Bai Shier and Zhang Bin join forces to deceive me?
"How dare I deceive the official?"
The madam couldn't help but feel anxious.
"If the official doesn't believe it, you can call Xiao Qizi over. He was the one who led Lord Zhang to come before, and he also came to bring tea to Lord Zhang."
"Oops!"
Hearing this, Hou Qing immediately understood what was wrong, and his face changed.
"Where is that little seven-son now? Take me to see him quickly."
Hou Qing's reaction was extremely fast, but it was still a little late, because the madam asked for a long time but could not find any trace of Xiao Qizi.
Later, when the madam mobilized the entire Mingyue Tower to search for Xiao Qizi, he finally found his figure in the woodshed near the thatched cottage. At this time, Xiao Qizi was still sleeping.
Things have become troublesome.
This was the first thought that emerged in Hou Qing's heart.
And the next moment, what aroused in his heart was gladness.
He was very glad that when he heard the madam say that Zhang Bin was just alone in the room, he noticed something was wrong in time and ordered his subordinates to block the gate of Mingyue Tower and not allow anyone to enter and exit.
Moreover, he had asked several heads outside who were looking at the windows of Mingyue Tower. No one had left since Hou Qing entered Mingyue Tower.
Of course, this is thanks to the darkness just now, and it was the most lively time in Mingyue Tower. There were only guests coming, and few guests would leave at this time...
However, although the Mingyue Tower was closed in time, Hou Qing also knew in his heart that it was very difficult for most of his subordinates to prevent anyone from escaping from the window outside the Mingyue Tower, just with him and the remaining few captains, it was very difficult to find Qinglong, who might be skilled in disguise among so many people.
Therefore, even if he was very reluctant, Hou Qing had to instruct a captain to go back and call the numerous constables in the six gates.
As for the trouble this would bring to him and the Six Doors, he could only throw it behind his head for the moment.
"If the Dongchang people ask the reason, they have reported it. At the same time, ask them if there are any experts in the Dongchang who are good at disguise, they can second it and tell them that if they can catch Qinglong, the contribution of the previous destruction of Gao Tianyuan can be calculated half of them."
However, before going back and asking the captain to leave, Hou Qing stopped him and made the final remedy.
"half?"
His subordinates obviously didn't want to.
"The matters of Tianyan Sect are more important, don't lose the big picture because of small things."
Of course, Hou Qing was reluctant, but the fire had already burned his eyebrows. He knew in his heart that if he did not compromise and did not give the conditions that would satisfy the Dongchang, he and Liushemen would probably not be able to pass this time.
"yes."
...
In the carriage, Zhang Bin, who was not sure that Qinglong had taken precautions carefully, naturally, did not know that Hou Qing had messed up the matter. He had not yet captured Qinglong and might even allow Qinglong to escape this disaster, was closing his eyes and resting.
However, it was obvious that he could not really settle down in his mind.
Today's things looked very smooth in his opinion.
It’s just that he “betrays” his old friend, even though he has been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years, he cannot do his mood without any fluctuations after finishing it.
Moreover, the events of this day always reminded him of the days when the late emperor was still there many years ago, and the governor of the West Factory, Wang Zhi, was in great power.
Back then, just like Bai Shier came to find him before, he finally turned to the imperial concubine party under Wang Zhi's coercion and temptation.
Although he rose to prominence in the following years until he was the Minister of Justice, whenever he recalled that day, he always wondered what kind of situation he would have been if he could persevere.
However, this time, when Bai Shier came to him again and quickly made him bow his head again and compromise again, he finally understood in his heart.
No matter how many times he recalled the day and how deep he thought about it, he would still make the same decision when he really returned to that day.
Just like after guessing Bai Shier's identity, he quickly chose to bow his head and cooperate with Bai Shier.
...
"laugh!"
Just as Zhang Bin was still closing his eyes toward these things, a slight sound suddenly sounded. The next moment, the carriage that was originally moving smoothly seemed to have suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped suddenly. Zhang Bin, who was sitting in the carriage, rushed out of the carriage in a mess under the influence of inertia. If he hadn't grabbed the curtain of the carriage in time, he would have been completely rolled to the ground.
"Mr. Zhang, Lord Zhang."
Just as Zhang Bin took a breath and wanted to curse, a voice suddenly rang in his ears, making the blood in his body immediately seem to be frozen.
"King, King..."
Zhang Bin raised his head stiffly, and the familiar face of the coachman's coachman reflected into his eyes, but the voice just now clearly told him that the person standing in front of him was not the coachman who had followed him for many years, but the "old friend" who should have been in Mingyue Tower and should have been caught by Bai Shier - Qinglong.
"Mr. Zhang, don't you want to explain to me, an old friend who has known each other for many years, what happened to the six doors of the constables who poured into Mingyue Tower after Mr. Zhang left?"
Next to Qinglong, who was disguised as the coachman of Zhang Bin, was wearing a night-mounted dress and perfectly integrated into the darkness around him, standing behind him. Obviously, it was him who just stopped the carriage, and he told Qinglong, who had been driving for Zhang Bin, what happened to Mingyue Tower.
"call."
Release the curtain of the car in his hand, Zhang Bin exhaled a breath of turbid air and looked at Qinglong.
"As a court official, do you need any reason to cooperate with the official to arrest a bandit who has been harmed for many years?"
With the help of the almost empty lower moonlight, Zhang Bin, who had seen his situation clearly, knew very well that this time he was really going to die here. Therefore, under the threat of death, he finally regained the courage he had lost in front of Wang Zhi many years ago, and asked back with disdain and sarcastic words.
"Ha ha."
Qinglong laughed too.
"It seems a bit inappropriate to say this sentence from Mr. Zhang's mouth. Over the years, in terms of the harm to the court mentioned by Mr. Zhang, I am afraid that ten of them will not be as good as Mr. Zhang."
"good."
Zhang Bin had no intention of denying it, and even admitted it very happily.
"So, before dying, I want to save some of the sins I have committed."
"Oh, is Mr. Zhang ready to die with gale?"
Qinglong put away his smile and showed unconcealed sarcasm on his face.
Chapter completed!
