2194 Inspection by the Prince Regent
Yu Shaoliang frowned, and heard someone beside him say: "Master Yu, it's midnight, it's time to close the city gate!"
Then I heard someone shouting loudly from above the city gate: "The hour of the child has come..."
Gu Xiaowan looked at it, the fragrance was gone!
All timings are just right!
Yu Shaoliang stopped reading the brochure, and returned it to Kou Hai without any doubt, saying, "I'm sorry, the time has come, the city gate is about to be closed!"
After finishing speaking, without looking at anyone, he ordered loudly: "Collective guard, close the city gate!"
As soon as the words fell, voices shouted one after another: "Close the city gate..."
"Close the city gate..."
The guards who were surrounding Gu Xiaowan just now left in an orderly manner. In the end, only Gu Xiaowan and others and a carriage were left alone outside the city gate, watching them slowly close the city gate.
Yu Shaoliang had been standing behind the city gate, looking at Gu Xiaowan who was standing outside the city gate, full of pride.
As long as they're out of town, who knows what's going to happen tonight.
And Gu Xiaowan also realized it at this moment.
The inexplicable stone, the inexplicable interrogation, the inexplicable appearance of Yu Shaoliang, they are deliberately delaying the time, so that they have no time to go back to get the token, without the token, how can they prove their true identity?
And this long night, the outskirts of the city, dense forests, no villages, how should they spend this night?
When Kou Hai and Ah Zuo saw this, they were anxious like ants on a hot pot: "This is Princess Anping, please let us go!"
No one paid any attention to them, as if it had been agreed, and no one paid any attention to them.
"Girl, don't be afraid, there will be a way!" A Zuo was afraid that Gu Xiaowan would be afraid, so he hurriedly comforted her.
Gu Xiaowan shook her head: "I'm not afraid, it's just..."
She turned her head and looked at the dark dense forest. It was a dark night. Even if nothing happened tonight, they spent the night in the suburbs, and they had no shelter from the cold. Even if they didn't die, they would have to kill half of their lives.
And obviously, it's not just as simple as being cold.
"Girl..." Just when Ah Zuo was about to blurt out that someone would come to save us, he heard a loud shout from inside the city gate.
"The Prince Regent inspects the city gate guards and opens the city gate!"
A Zuo and Kou Hai looked at each other, exchanged a look knowingly, and immediately felt relieved.
When Gu Xiaowan heard that the prince was coming, a trace of doubt came to her heart.
Yu Shaoliang was startled, he saw luxury carriages approaching from far and near, and saw the soldiers coming on tall horses, taking out a token in their hands.
Seeing the token, Yu Shaoliang's legs trembled, and he hurriedly knelt down: "The commander of the city gate Yu Shaoliang respectfully greets the prince, and the prince is a thousand years old!"
A low but dignified voice came from inside: "Get up!"
Yu Shaoliang didn't know why the king regent, who had seen the head and tail of the dragon, came to inspect the guards of the city gate, so he stood up with trembling legs and feet, and asked: "I don't know why the prince is here, what's your business?"
"The household registration booklet has been completed. The Holy Majesty ordered this king to come out and see if the city gate guards are released according to the household registration booklet!" His voice was deep and deep, but with the majesty of a superior, no one could comment on it.
Yu Shaoliang hurriedly explained: "My lord, please rest assured, the officials have always acted impartially, and have never shown any favoritism. Please rest assured, my lord!"
"Well, Master Yu is doing things, the king is really at ease, but...why don't you let them in the carriage outside the door?"
The carriage stopped at a place where you could see the movements outside the city, so you naturally took in the ordinary carriage outside. And the thin and slender figure standing in front of the carriage.
Yu Shaoliang suddenly thumped, thinking inwardly: "If you go back to the prince, it's already past time, and the city gate is about to be closed!"
"Really? Then what should they do? Although it's not freezing cold, it's just that it's too cold in the middle of the night. It's just arrived, and they've already caught up. Why is Commander Yu so unreasonable?" !"
The deep and magnetic voice was still nice, like a clear spring flowing slowly, but the coldness and questioning from inside scared Yu Shaoliang into a cold sweat.
"I don't dare! It's just that the identities of the people in this carriage are strange, and I dare not let them into the city rashly!"
"Strange?" There was a hint of a smile coming from inside, but Yu Shaoliang felt more and more startled.
"I don't know why there is such a strange way, there are people with strange identities in the Qing Dynasty, but this king is getting more and more curious!"
Chichi laughter came from inside, Yu Shaoliang dared not disobey.
"When they left the city, they used one household registration booklet, but now when they entered the city, they used another booklet. The officials asked them if they had anything to prove their identity, but they couldn't bring it out. , I am an official, and I have to be ordered to shut down the city!" Yu Shaoliang said word by word.
It seemed that when they left the city, someone was already watching them.
Makes sense and fits seamlessly.
Even if they were locked out overnight, they would have nothing to say.
When Gu Xiaowan went out of the city, she did not use the real household registration booklet, because she was afraid that someone would follow them, which would be bad for her, and bad for Su Ziyue.
And they went out of the city easily, and they used money. How could they know that their every move had been watched by others. And these happened to be the reason why they couldn't enter the city.
"Your Majesty did the right thing. It was me who acted impartially.
The blessing of the Qing Dynasty is that the people are the foundation of our country. If it can be convenient for the people, it will consolidate the foundation for the Qing Dynasty! Master Yu, it happens that the king is here, why don't we just see what is so strange about the owner of this carriage. Coincidentally, this king has never believed that there are any weird things in this world! "
Apart from being afraid, Yu Shaoliang is also a little worried now.
The sudden visit of the Prince Regent, was it really sent by the Emperor? Could it be that the emperor has seen every move here?
Otherwise, why would the regent pay a sudden visit under the name of household registration inspection?
