Chapter 250 Absconding

The road seemed to be dug by the officials themselves. Dust piled up in the tunnel, flying in the air from time to time with the footsteps of the crowd, making people cough and have to keep their voices down.

"Ahem... Prime Minister, this tunnel leads to a garden I bought, and no one has walked it for a long time." The official explained.

Wen Renyin didn't say a word, as long as he can escape, it doesn't matter what kind of tunnel.

He really didn't expect that the official's mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, which was quite unexpected.

The official's mansion is definitely not as good as Wen Renyin's mansion, so we can only hope that the chasing soldiers will not come to the chaifang to look for it for the time being.

But the mansion is so big, it will be a matter of time to find this passage, so there is not much time left for him.

When he finally reached the end of the tunnel, the official took the initiative to push the cover of the tunnel, and the dust covered his head and face.

"Cough cough cough... the prime minister please first."

Wen Renyin stepped up the steps with a sullen face, but the earthen steps collapsed halfway, and he almost didn't fall.

He has never been so embarrassed!

When he walked out of the tunnel and stood in the wild grass half a person's height in the garden, he was finally able to breathe freely.

"Prime Minister... where are we going next?" the official asked anxiously.

This garden is not too far from the official's mansion, and it is two-thirds shorter than the tunnel in the Prime Minister's mansion. If it is discovered, it will definitely be caught up soon.

"Leave the capital directly."

Hearing the words, the official felt a little distressed about the family wealth he had saved, but there was nothing he could do. Since Wen Renyin said so, it must have reached a serious point.

It's just that he didn't prepare a carriage, so he had to find one outside temporarily.

Wen Renyin glanced at the woman holding the baby, and said, "Let your little concubine find a carriage, hurry up!"

The woman panicked and handed the baby over to the officials, and the baby groaned twice.

Wen Renyin glanced coldly, and the official's heart tightened. He patted the baby reassuringly. Fortunately, the baby was well-behaved and calmed down.

The official's wife led the eldest daughter and second son to stand at the end, staring at the young concubine's back as she left, and said, "Master, if the baby cries in the middle, I'm afraid it will attract soldiers to pursue."

The official was a little annoyed, and subconsciously wanted to refute. Seeing Wen Renyin nodded, he could only grit his teeth and say, "In this case, Xiao Yu'er can only stay in the capital with Jiao Niang."

He was a little bit reluctant, Xiao Yu'er was cute, she didn't like to cry, she finally got such a good daughter, but she had to abandon them both.

Jiao Niang came back with a carriage, and the officials handed over the baby to her, and handed her a silver bill from his bosom.

Jiao Niang looked at the bank note with a flustered expression: "Husband, what are you..."

"Jiao Niang, you can stay in the capital with Xiao Yu'er, and wait for me to come back." The official comforted.

Jiao Niang bit her lip, her face was pale, she knew that she was abandoned.

But she couldn't refute, so she could only take the bank note and said, "I wish my husband a smooth journey."

Wen Renyin got into the carriage first, followed by officials, wives, and children.

This carriage was relatively spacious, and it was specially selected by Jiao Niang, but she couldn't get in it, and could only watch her husband and others leave.

Jiao Niang held Xiao Yu'er in her arms and walked towards the chariots and horses again.

A smaller carriage was heading in the completely opposite direction to Wen Renyin and the others.

……

The carriage went straight to the gate of the city, trying to get out of the city.

But before reaching the city gate, I saw many convoys blocking the front.

"What's the matter?"

The coachman jumped out of the carriage and went to the front to ask, only to find out that the capital will be closed today and tomorrow, no entry or exit is allowed.

"What?" The official was shocked, "Then where can we escape..."

"Find a small road and go to the suburbs of Beijing."

Wen Renyin said: "There are rivers in the suburbs of Beijing, you can leave by boat."

The coachman then drove the horses and left from the city gate.

After passing two mansions surrounded by soldiers, the carriage caught the attention of Yan Wenmao's people, and three soldiers were sent to stop the carriage.

There must be something wrong with daring to wander outside at a time like this.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The official was startled and glanced at Wen Renyin.

Wen Renyin looked at him, the official was heartbroken, and pushed his wife.

The madam opened the curtain of the car, and said softly to the soldiers blocking the way: "My husband is not feeling well, and he is going to seek medical treatment. Please make it easy for me."

He said that he wanted to give the soldier a silver coin.

The soldier's eyes fell on the particularly honest ingot, he smiled inexplicably, took it over and said, "If that's the case, then be careful and don't go where you shouldn't go."

Madam let out a sigh of relief and returned to the car.

They were going to flee, and Madam brought all valuables, and this ingot of silver was already the smallest one.

Seeing his wife returning to the car, the soldier immediately reported: "My lord, there must be a big fish in the car, and we need to send more people!"

Yan Wenmao's staff asked, "How can you see that?"

The soldier replied: "The ruts are very deep, there must be more than one or two people in the car, and the silver that the woman gave is so good that it must be obtained by a wealthy family. Such a family said that they would take their husband out to seek medical treatment instead of asking the doctor to come to their door." , really suspicious!"

Yan Wenmao's people nodded and said: "Watch the carriage closely, I'll transfer people."

The carriage drove a certain distance, the coachman glanced behind the carriage, and lightly whipped the two horses, and the horses accelerated.

The official raised the curtain and exclaimed in surprise, "The soldier just caught up!"

Madam said to the coachman: "Just run forward, if the horse is exhausted, ten horses will be better for you!"

The driver knew that he had met a big customer, and since he had already boarded the car, he couldn't get away with it, so he might as well do as she said.

The two horses were severely whipped and neighed, and the carriage rushed forward suddenly.

The soldiers also urged the horses under them to speed up.

At that time, when Jiao Niang was looking for a carriage, she thought that if she wanted to escape from the capital, it would be best not to have more than two horse-drawn carriages. The carriages with three horse-drawn carriages were either caravans or wealthy families, which would easily attract the attention of others.

But now two horses pull three adults, two children and a coachman, and the speed is naturally not as fast as that of a soldier riding alone.

When the horse's strength finally ran out, it ran for a quarter of an hour and gradually slowed down, but the soldiers behind it still did not get rid of it.

Not only that, but the surrounding people also began to increase.

Seeing more and more soldiers surrounding him, the driver panicked.

Several tripping ropes were tied in front, and seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the coachman yelled, jumped off the cart, was kicked by the horse's hind legs, and fell heavily to the ground.

The two horses fell to the ground by the bridle rope, and the carriage fell to pieces, exposing the people inside.

Someone gave him a backrest, and Wen Renyin only suffered some minor injuries.

However, looking at the people who surrounded him from all directions, his heart was ashamed, and his chest was filled with regret.

Why on earth are all the choices so unfavorable?It seems that all roads are blocked by people.
