The prince is very cruel

"Just curious, asking."

"Um... no, no."

"So when you were in the Tang family, your vicious stepmother didn't want to marry you off?"

"Someone mentioned a marriage proposal before, but it didn't come to fruition until I met you, Brother Guan."

"Doesn't that mean I've ruined your lifelong event?"

"No, no, I don't want to get married. I haven't even met that person, and he's already over 30 years old."

"..."

The two chatted about this and that, forgetting that they were escaping and that this was a coffin. Tang Xiang'er's fear was gradually easing.

After about a cup of tea, suddenly!

The shaking of the coffin obviously stopped. Guan Ning quickly fell silent and covered Tang Xianger's mouth.

I only heard faint sounds coming from outside.

"open to take a look!"

"Sir, this, this is not allowed. There is a dead person in here. The coffin is already closed, and the only thing missing is the nails in the ground. Opening it like this is probably against the rules."

"Hmph, get out of here!"

"I don't care if you're following the rules or not. What if you're hiding a wanted criminal? Open it right now!"

"Sir, please don't. My master and mistress have left one after another. Please give them some peace. We are all from Lu County. How could we dare to harbor a fugitive?"

"Get out of here! This is an order from above. If you dare to refuse, you'll lose your head!"

The tough officers and soldiers ignored the begging pleas of the deceased's family members, surrounded the two heavy red-lacquered coffins, and then pried them open with knives.

Click!

The coffin was pried open a crack, and the family members of the deceased wailed incessantly, but there was nothing they could do.

"vomit……"

"It stinks!"

"This shit stinks."

As soon as the coffin was pried open, a foul smell came out, which instantly made the soldiers guarding the city gate retch and retreat.

The leading captain pinched his nose and made a symbolic inspection inside with a grim expression. It was pitch black inside, and the dead look was even more unsightly.

Just one look and the captain felt physically uncomfortable.

"He's really dead!"

"Bad luck, really damn bad luck, take it away quickly, it stinks!"

The officers and soldiers quickly made way.

"Hurry, hurry up!" shouted the leading Taoist priest.

boom!

The coffin that had been pried open was closed again, and Guan Ning and Tang Xiang'er inside breathed a sigh of relief at the same time!

"Brother Guan, you are so smart. They really didn't check."

Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "It stinks so much, and it's a dead person, who would reach out and grope to check it?"

Tang Xiang'er nodded repeatedly. Although it smelled bad, she felt it was worth it as long as she could get out safely.

As the funeral procession set off again, the coffin began to shake again. Seeing that they were only a dozen steps away from leaving the city, the officers and soldiers stopped trying to stop them, but suddenly, an accident happened!

"stop!!"

A loud shout echoed through the city gate.

The hundreds of officers and soldiers responsible for body searches and guarding the place were shocked and knelt in a certain direction, saying, "We pay our respects to the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

"We are here to see the governor!"

The sound was so loud that it reached directly into the coffin.

Guan Ning's heart skipped a beat. Oh no!

At the city gate, Zhao Tai rode a warhorse, his face dignified and cold as he approached. "What is this? Why aren't you checking it?"

The captain trembled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, these are two coffins. We have checked them and they contain two dead bodies. They are already smelly, but there is nothing wrong with them."

Zhao Tai was furious and picked up the whip and swung it down.

Snapped!

"Ah!" The captain covered his bloody face and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

Everyone was silent, even the governor didn't dare to fart.

"Bastard thing!"

"Do you think I didn't see it? You just took a look and let him go?"

"I can't catch the wanted criminal because of trash like you! If you weren't one of my soldiers, I would have cut off your head and body just now!" Zhao Tai snorted coldly, extremely strong.

"Governor, please calm down, please calm down. I was wrong, I was wrong." The captain screamed and cried, begging for mercy.

"Hmph, open the coffin for me!" Zhao Tai shouted angrily. He was fooled all night last night, so he couldn't let go of any clues now.

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers dared not delay and immediately surrounded them.

Seeing this scene, the funeral procession dared not stop it.
