King of Glory: Catch All the Female Heroes

Chapter 109 A shocking case

As night fell, Zhang Cheng and Yun Ying went out to eat something and returned to the room early.

At night, Xiahou Dun and Li Yuanfang were responsible for monitoring the Peony Manor. Zhang Cheng and Yun Ying lay on a bed, each with their eyes closed, resting.

I don’t know how much time had passed. Just when Zhang Cheng was about to fall asleep, a knock on the door suddenly woke Zhang Cheng and Yun Ying up.

Zhang Cheng reacted, but instead of opening the door, he rushed to the window.

Looking in the direction of the Peony Manor, Zhang Cheng soon saw seven more carriages outside the Peony Manor.

All seven carriages had huge enclosed compartments.

At this time, people in black clothes were moving white bags into the carriage.

The white bag looks quite heavy, and judging from its shape, it looks like there is a living person inside.

Judging from the number of bags, Ming Shiyin kidnapped at least dozens of people.

Yunying opened the door, and Xiahou Dun and Li Yuanfang came over.

As soon as he saw Zhang Cheng, Li Yuanfang said, "I just heard them say that they want to send these people out of the city as cargo."

Hearing Li Yuanfang's words, Yun Ying raised her little fist and punched the wall.

"The disappearance of the population was indeed caused by Ming Shiyin. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, let's just arrest him."

Hearing the voice, Zhang Cheng quickly waved to Yun Ying.

"Yun Ying, we have to play the long game to catch the big fish. If we rush out now, we can only solve a missing persons case at most. Wait a minute, after we make new discoveries, we will definitely be able to solve a shocking case."

"I can assure you that with this shocking case, you and Li Yuanfang will definitely become famous in Chang'an. You will become the most dazzling figures in the Dali Temple this year."

"Famous in Chang'an?"

Yun Ying's brows suddenly raised and she became very interested.

Zhang Cheng glanced at Yun Ying, and then whispered, "Chang'an is under curfew now. Ming Shiyin wants to transport people out of the city at this time. It seems that Ming Shiyin has bribed many people. Yun Ying, you only need to remember that those people accepted Ming Shiyin's bribes, which is also a great achievement."

After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Yun Ying nodded heavily again, and excitement began to flash in her beautiful eyes.

After staying in the restaurant for a while, Zhang Cheng saw that everyone outside the Peony Manor was about to finish loading the truck, so he hurriedly called Xiahou Dun and others to quietly leave the restaurant.

After Ming Shiyin personally boarded the front carriage, the convoy of seven carriages began to slowly drive out of the city.

I have to say that Ming Shiyin really has some tricks up his sleeve.

A curfew has now been imposed in Chang'an and the streets are empty.

Ming Shiyin and others drove the carriage forward in a swaggering manner, without worrying about being exposed at all.

In less than half an hour, the convoy arrived outside the south gate of Chang'an.

Seeing this, a dozen soldiers guarding the city gate immediately surrounded and blocked the carriage.

Seeing this, Ming Shiyin calmly took out a letter and a gold note from his pocket.

"The letter was written by Zheng Xuan, the commander of the Jinwu Guard, and he can provide me with a guarantee. These ten thousand gold coins are a small reward for my brothers."

"I have to go out and deliver some important goods. I hope you brothers can give me some convenience."

The Jinwu Guard was mainly responsible for the defense of Chang'an's city walls, and Zheng Xuan was considered the commander of these soldiers.

When they saw Ming Shiyin take out Zheng Xuan's handwritten letter and ten thousand gold coins, the soldiers only asked him a few questions verbally and then opened the South Gate.

The city gate was opened, and after Ming Shiyin left Chang'an with the carriage, a sneer immediately appeared on his face.

"What a bunch of fools who are obsessed with money."

Not long after Ming Shiyin left Chang'an City, Yun Ying and his four companions chased him to the city gate.

Seeing this, a dozen soldiers immediately stepped forward to block the way of Zhang Cheng and others.

"Who are you? Retreat quickly and keep a distance from the city gate."

Yun Ying glared at the soldier who was speaking, then took out the Dali Temple badge and handed it to the soldier.

"I am a constable from the Dali Temple. I have something very important to do and need to leave Chang'an immediately. Please open the door immediately."

Hearing Yun Ying's words, a soldier in front sneered and said, "We belong to the Jinwu Guard Yamen, which is completely different from your Dali Temple. Your case has nothing to do with us. It's not impossible for you to leave the city at this time, but you need to get a pass issued by the Jinwu Guard Yamen first."

Yun Ying wanted to finish her words, but Zhang Cheng grabbed her wrist.

Zhang Cheng took a step forward and walked in front of the soldier who was speaking.

"According to convention, we do need a permit issued by the Jinwu Guard to go out. But when we arrest someone who has broken the law, we can bypass the Jinwu Guard directly."

"You just accepted Ming Shiyin's bribe and violated the rules by allowing the Dali Temple's wanted criminal to leave the city. You accepted bribes and neglected your duties. Based on these two charges, the Dali Temple can arrest all of you."

"In addition, your crime can be very serious or very light. We can decide whether you will be beheaded or imprisoned for a few days. Now please think carefully about this. Do you really intend to offend us?"

After hearing what Zhang Cheng said, the soldier's legs went weak and he knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng.

"Everyone, he has General Zheng's letter in his hand. We dare not not open the city gate, and..."

"Okay, we won't hold you responsible now, just open the city gates."

Hearing this, the soldier nodded quickly.

"Hurry, hurry, open the city gate."

After successfully leaving the city, Zhang Cheng and others chased along the official road for about seven or eight minutes and successfully caught up with the convoy led by Ming Shiyin.

The two sides walked one after the other on the official road for a short while before the seven carriages stopped by a small road.

As soon as the carriage stopped, dozens of burly men rushed out from the darkness.

They unloaded the goods from the carriage with swift movements. Each of them carried a bag and walked quickly along the path as if they were familiar with the route.

Seeing this, Yun Ying couldn't help but lower her voice and said to Zhang Cheng, "Brother Zhang, the other side seems to have a lot of people, but we only have four people. Do you need help?"

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, then turned to Li Yuanfang and said, "Yuanfang, go back and ask Lord Di for help. We will leave marks along the way."

When Li Yuanfang heard what Zhang Cheng said, he pouted and turned away.

After watching Li Yuanfang walk away, Zhang Cheng said to Xiahou Dun and Yun Ying, "Let's follow them quietly. Don't act rashly and get into conflict with Ming Shiyin and the others. Let's first determine where they are staying, and wait until Lord Di leads the reinforcements to arrive before we start our action."
