Chapter 99 Escape

On an ordinary day, the Jinguang Gate in the west of Chang'an City is wide open, and there is an endless flow of people of all colors returning or leaving Chang'an City.

Jinguangmen is close to the West Market, and it is the most convenient gateway for many merchants from the Western Regions to enter and exit Chang'an, so it is also one of the gates with the most daily traffic in Chang'an City.From the early years of Zhenguan, Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty advocated recuperation and encouraged the people to trade with foreign merchants, and the inspection of merchants coming and going at the city gate was relaxed a lot.But precisely because of such a move, Jinguangmen became the easiest place to get out of Chang'an City.

Nanny Song covered her face with a cloth towel. She had connected with the person in charge of the spice caravan in the Western Regions through her son a long time ago.The purpose is to use the convenience of the caravan to sneak out of Chang'an City and escape to other places in case there is a forced situation one day.

This caravan used to go in and out of the Golden Light Gate. The leader of the caravan, Chahal, was very familiar with the soldiers guarding the city gate. After briefly checking the customs clearance documents of the people coming and going, he let them out of the city gate.

After actually stepping out of Chang'an City, Nanny Song's heart fell to the ground.If you have money, you have to spend your life. For her master, Mrs. Tian, ​​she can only secretly say sorry in her heart.Nanny Song didn't feel that she was sorry for her. After all, when she was by Mrs. Tian's side, she also tried her best to advise and implement the master's plan. Mrs. Tian wanted her life.

With this escape, her original identity will completely disappear.From then on, her relationship with the Qiu family and the Tian family will also be severed.

Nanny Song's plan for this trip is to go west with Chahal, a Hu merchant from the Western Regions, and then make a detour east to Cangzhou.Her son and daughter-in-law have already arrived in Cangzhou ahead of schedule, bribed the local government, secretly changed their household registration, changed their name and surname, bought a house, bought a house and settled down.Nanny Song also wanted to be like Pu Suzhen back then, in order to escape the evil she did in the first half of her life, stay away from Chang'an, stay away from this place where she would be guillotined!

※※※※※※※

At this time in the third room of the Qiu Mansion, Madam Tian had no idea that Nanny Song had slipped out of Chang'an City without telling her.She is still waiting for her wet nurse to bring her first-hand information about the County Wei Chaotang.

Regarding the Tian family's affairs, she was powerless.Brother's hanging, the review by the Ministry of Punishment and the review by the Holy Master have all passed. If the last review on the day of the hanging is still the same, then Tian Jinlin's life will really come to an end.And the last male of the Tian family, her nephew Tian Alang, was also executed on the spot for abducting the family of the Wen family with a wanted criminal.In less than half a month, all the men from the Tian family were gone.Her sister-in-law, Mrs. Shen, couldn't bear the blow of her husband and prisoner, and became ill from depression. Now she was lying on the bed, exhaling more breath than taking in less.

The Tian family, which is so big, has disappeared so quickly, and Lady Tian feels sad when she thinks about it.But no matter how sad, what can she change?Isn't all of this the retribution of the debt owed before and now?

Lady Tian fell into an unprecedented painful predicament.Ever since Pu Suzhen surrendered to the county government, rumors about the case have been frequent, and Qiu Qianshen has never returned to Qiu's house.Even if she urged someone to invite him, she didn't hear back from him.As for Qiu Shiming, his father sent him to Shangzhou, Shanxi Province at the beginning of the year to purchase high-quality bear bile and gentian.Daughter Qiu Li was also hurt by her previous unscrupulous words, and she still has a cold war with her, unwilling to see her.Lady Tian has no one to discuss countermeasures at all, and the only thing she can count on is Nanny Song.

It's a pity that she didn't wait for the returning Nanny Song, but first waited for the county Wei Chaotang's door-to-door arrest.

"My lord! My lord is wronged..." Mrs. Tian was held by two Marquis Wu from Chang'an County, one on the left and one on the right, and she half dragged and half dragged out of the courtyard gate of the third bedroom of the Qiu family.

"You guys! What are you going to do..." Qiu Li finally found out that someone was going to take her mother away.She rushed out of her room and saw the embarrassing lady being dragged out of the mansion by two people dressed as Marquis Wu.Qiu Li was frightened and angry, she threw herself in front of them, tightly grabbed the sleeve of one of Marquis Wu, and asked hoarsely, "Why did you take my mother away?"

Seeing Qiu Li's behavior, the Marquis Wu said displeasedly: "My lady, don't hinder us from carrying out our official duties! We are here to arrest the suspect, Mrs. Tian, ​​under the order of the county lieutenant Wang."

After saying that, he forcefully pulled Qiu Li's hands away from his sleeves, and Qiu Li lost his balance and fell to the ground.The yamen servant ignored her and dragged Lady Tian to the door mercilessly.

"Li'er... to find you, Aye, to find King Yan... to save your mother!" Lady Tian cried out as she cried, but only got back Qiu Li's desperate and helpless tears.

The door of Qiu's mansion was shut heavily, and also shut out the last cry of Mrs. Tian.Almost all the masters, servants and maidservants in the Qiu Mansion gathered around the gate in twos and twos, watching this scene dumbfounded, and some even hid in a corner trembling in fright, not knowing what happened to the Qiu Mansion.

Qiu Qianzhan, the head of the second bedroom of the Qiu family, was also standing here at the moment, he watched Lady Tian being dragged out of the house coldly all the way, but he felt extremely resentful in his heart.

Combined with the fact that the government came to arrest people today, combined with the poisoning case of Xiao's second wife of the Qiu family that was rumored at the end of the street, no matter how bad Qiu Qianzhan is, he can guess the general outline of the matter.

The government will never come to arrest people without proof.Until now, he has no choice but to believe that his wife did not die of an accidental disease, but because of the third wife!

"Who is kneeling in the hall?" A shocking sound awakened Mrs. Tian's dazed mind, and she heard herself reply tremblingly: "The woman, Mrs. Tian, ​​is the wife of Qiu Qianshen, the third housemate of the Qiu family in Yankangfang... ...The official is wronged..."

"Mr. Tian, ​​your conscience has been eaten by a dog, and you can even do this to your own brother and sister-in-law!" Wang Zhihai's voice suddenly broke in, and Mrs. Tian raised her head tremblingly, looking at the woman who was sitting firmly in the high hall in front of her. The county lieutenant looked at her coldly, and felt a wave of fear in his heart.

"The official... the woman is wronged..." She didn't want to give up, she couldn't figure out how things had come to this point so quickly.Where is Nanny Song?She had been waiting for her at home for so long, why did she still not be seen until she was caught in the hall.

"Don't even think about denying it. To tell you the truth, the person you instructed to poison has personally admitted that this matter was ordered by you. The other party has also produced solid evidence. The authenticity of these evidences is also true. I have sent someone to investigate, and they are all facts! If you feel wronged, you can also come up with evidence that overturns these evidences, otherwise, the evidence is overwhelming, I advise you to plead guilty earlier and feel more refreshed!"

Wang Zhihai scolded with a sullen face.

Lady Tian was dumbfounded. Is the evidence conclusive?Pu Suzhen came up with evidence?What evidence?Where is Nanny Song?How come she still doesn't even see a person.

But she thought again, she never explained the whole thing to Pu Suzhen in person.The whole process was mediated by Nanny Song, no matter how strong Pu Suzhen's evidence was, it would be the end if Nanny Song was involved.After all, there is still a layer of relationship between him and her.

Although Tian Niangzi's mind is chaotic at the moment, she is not a person without concentration.She gritted her teeth, and said loudly, "The women really don't know about this! Every day, the women are assisted by others. What the officials say, the women really never know."

Wang Zhihai stared at the cunning woman who was kneeling at the bottom, he knew well that this person wanted to blame himself for being involved in the case.But unfortunately, the important person in the middle, Nanny Song as Pu Suzhen said, was not found in the Qiu Mansion today when she went to the Qiu Mansion to arrest her.He sent people to search for her relatives and friends, but found no trace of her. It seems that if she was not silenced or hid by the person in front of him, she might have escaped privately.

He thought to himself, let him try her to see if this tricky woman knows Song Nanny's whereabouts.

"Mr. Tian, ​​where is the mother in charge of you, Nanny Song, now?"
