Chapter 519 People in the restaurant
Chief Governor Lei did not say this casually.
Before he took charge of the three major battalions of the Imperial Guard, he had managed the guards. It was common for guardsmen to flee, even on a large scale.
In his opinion, the two hundred pursuers who didn't come back obviously ran away, and they couldn't be lost.
Emperor Yong'an listened to this honest answer, and his tone was subtle: "Based on experience?"
Chief Governor Lei's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said: "It's just a bold guess..."
Emperor Yong'an rubbed the center of his brows, his temples throbbing with anger.
The defenders of the city ran away with the people who got out of the city. It was a big joke!
"All the defectors, their families pushed them to Caishikou and beheaded them for public display."
Said in cold words, although Minister of the Ministry of War has long been mentally prepared, he is still feeling cold all over his body and his legs are weak at this moment.
Emperor Yong'an's eyes fell on Du Shang's writing: "Du Ning, if there is such a mess again, you, Minister of the Ministry of War, will not do it."
Du Shangshu prostrated himself on the ground, and promised with a trembling voice.
Emperor Yong'an looked at Commander Lei: "Lei Ming, quickly mobilize your cavalry to chase that traitor Luo Chi back!"
Just as Lei Ming was about to promise, Emperor Yong'an said coldly: "Or solve it on the spot. In short, we can't let that rebellious minister go free, and neither can his daughter."
"The minister leads the decree." Lei Ming thought of Su Yao when he was about to step down, "Your Majesty, Su Zhuangyuan—"
Emperor Yong'an frowned, and said impatiently: "Take it away. Since you are dumb, there is no need to go to the Imperial Academy."
An official of the imperial court was snatched by a little girl to face him in the mansion, let alone become dumb, even if he was fine, he would not bother to see him again.
There is a champion man in three years, do you think he is short of a champion?
A servant came out with Governor Lei and conveyed the oracle to Su Yao.
Su Yao listened to the waiter with a pale face, and his eyes turned black.
Although such a result had been expected, but I really heard from the servant that the emotions of unwillingness and pain were still gnawing at his flesh and blood like a beast.
The pain and unspeakable feeling is enough to drive a person crazy.
Su Yao walked out of the imperial city in a daze.
It was already dawn, and the entire capital woke up from a deep sleep and became lively again.
Shi Yan stood in the courtyard and stretched himself.
The morning in spring is always beautiful. The sun is shining brightly, the birds are chirping on the branches, and the wind is cool and comfortable on the body.
"Third Brother Shi." The boy's soft voice sounded.
Shi Yan lowered his head and smiled at Xuxue: "Xuexue is also up, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Negative Xue handed over a letter: "The girl gave me this yesterday, and said that if no one comes over from the Metropolitan Government this morning, I will give it to you."
Shi Yan took it and muttered: "Didn't the girl come to the restaurant during the day yesterday, why didn't you just hand it over to me?"
Negative Xue thought for a while, and made a serious guess: "Are you afraid that Third Brother Shi will peek at you?"
The little guard who took out the letter and was about to read it paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched violently: "Lengxue, is your third brother Shi this kind of person?"
Negue Xue blinked, but thoughtfully did not nod.
After reading the letter quickly, Shi Yan was like a clay sculpture, and did not respond for a long time.
Shi Yi came out, seeing his stunned brother frowning secretly.
Why did the third brother start acting stupid so early in the morning?
Hearing footsteps, Shi Yan woke up like a dream, rushed over and grabbed Shi Yi's wrist: "Fourth brother, something serious happened!"
Lengxue opened her eyes wide, startled by Shi Yan's sudden action.
"What's the matter?" Shi Yi seemed calm.
"Look!" Shi Yan handed over the letter, the big man who was usually joking and joking, but now his hands trembled slightly.
Shi Yan grabbed him: "Fourth brother, where are you going?"
"Go to the Governor's Mansion!"
Shi Yan let go of his hand: "Then go and inquire about the situation, we will wait for you here."
Shi Yi stuffed the letter to his brother and left quickly.
Shi Yan squeezed the letter, his heart agitated.
Letter to Miss Luo said that if all goes well, they should have left the capital by now, and asked him and his fourth brother to take care of the people who stayed in the restaurant.
Miss Luo's family is so upside down?
Escaping from the capital overnight?
And left him and his fourth brother behind?
The little guard suddenly felt very wronged.
Seeing that Shi Yan's expression kept changing, Negative Xue asked cautiously, "Brother Shi San, what happened?"
Shi Yan came back to his senses and glanced at the boy.
Oh, this unlucky child was also left behind.
"Longxue, didn't you take Dabai back to the Metropolitan Government the day before yesterday, is there anything unusual?"
"Abnormal?" Negative Snow thought for a while, and asked a little sadly, "Miss sent Brother Mingzhu and the others back to the Princess Mansion, is it abnormal?"
Shi Yan slapped his thigh: "Of course!"
Negative snow reminded softly: "But the third brother Shi knew it, and he was very happy when he heard it."
Shi Yan: "..."
Could he not be happy? At that time, he thought that Miss Luo had changed her ways for the sake of her master. How happy the master would be to find that Miss Luo was clean when she came back.
It's all right now, Miss Luo didn't reveal a word to their brothers in advance when encountering such a big incident, it can be seen that she treats them as outsiders.
Treat them as outsiders, isn't it the same as treating the master as an outsider?
It seems that the master's status in Miss Luo's heart is not as high as that of Xiugu.
Thinking of Xiu Gu's cooking, Shi Yan fell silent.
Rationally speaking, he actually somewhat understands Miss Luo's choice...
"Brother Shi, what happened?" Although Lingxue was innocent, he was not stupid, and Shi Yan's reaction made him uneasy.
Shi Yan sighed, and briefly explained the contents of the letter.
Lengxue's face was pale, and she was about to cry: "Girl don't want me anymore?"
At this time, the sound of eager footsteps came, and it was Shi Yi who went and returned.
"How?" Shi Yan asked hurriedly.
Shi Yi had a serious expression on his face: "I heard people talking about it before I arrived at the Governor's Mansion. Governor Luo took his family out of the city in the middle of the night, and Governor Lei led his troops to chase after him..."
The more Shi Yan heard it, the more ugly his face became: "No, I want to send a letter to the master!"
From the direction of the lobby, the female shopkeeper suddenly shouted: "What are you doing?"
The two brothers looked at each other and hurried to the lobby.
The gate of the restaurant was kicked open, a group of officers and soldiers rushed in, and the leading officer shouted: "Take everyone in the restaurant away!"
After getting up, the female shopkeeper was sorting out the account books. She didn't know what happened outside. Seeing the officer's aggressiveness, she reminded her in a good temper: "Master Luo, our restaurant belongs to Miss Luo."
The leading official sneered: "Of course I know about the wine shop opened by the daughter of the traitor! Come on, arrest the shopkeeper first."
A cold voice came: "Arrest who?"
The leading officer heard the reputation and saw two young men who looked exactly the same walking over.
"Hey, brother, we've met before." Shi Yan stared at the leading officer and raised his eyebrows.
The leading officer recognized Brother Shi Yan's identity, and immediately changed his attitude: "We were ordered to come to the wine shop to arrest people, and I hope Brother Shi will do it for you."
