However, Xu Shu, who was hopeful, still got nothing, only some data on materials shipped to the front line, which was useless.

Just when Xu Shu and Hua Xiong were about to leave, Li Ru still found some problems.

Chapter 270 The Third Hunt

The case has been touched!

In the past few days, Li Ru has always felt this way. This time, he set a trap, and his guess was confirmed.

The position of the brush is different. Although there is only a slight difference, it cannot be hidden from Li Ru's eyes.His memory is very good, let alone in the case of conscious memory.

Li Ru began to recall what happened.

What happened in the past half month.

First a thief broke into the mansion, and then a scribe begged for an official.

Li Ru woke up suddenly, and said: "Come here, send someone to call Xu Yuan quickly."

Xu Yuan is Xu Shu's pseudonym.

However, the servants quickly reported that Xu Yuan could not be found.

As for other excuses, Li Ru didn't bother to think about it, and directly ordered the whole city to search and arrest.

"Xu Yuan is a spy in Yangzhou. I lost some important documents in my study. I must recover them."

So Xu Shu found out that Xiapi was closed before he left the city.

This is definitely not accidental.

"Li Ru is so ruthless, I immediately searched and arrested the whole city." Hua Xiong went out to investigate the news, and only now came back, aggrieved and authentic.

Xu Shu knew that he was careless, and for the present plan, the only way to leave Xiapi was to escape the search and arrest.

Things backfired, and the yamen servants quickly searched the residences of Xu Shu and Hua Xiong.The two hid and let the buddy deal with it. After spending some money, they finally avoided it.

However, it's unknown how long this search will last. Where does Xu Shu have time to spend here?

Yangzhou's intelligence network is only responsible for delivering information, and most of them are businessmen who live in various places. There is no way to influence the government's decision, so Xu Shu can only choose to hide.

Unfortunately, during an investigation, Hua Xiong missed and fought with the yamen servants, killing several people.

The death of a few yamen servants in the nearby block will definitely alarm the government, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Xu Shu hurriedly changed the location, and after a while, the stronghold was taken away.

"It's my fault." Hua Xiong said in shame.

Xu Shu didn't blame him, and now he can only find a way to make up for it.Yangzhou has limited arrangements here, and if he wants to leave, he has to resort to external forces.

According to the information provided by Cao Bao, the Chen family was at odds with Liu Bei.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Xu Shu really didn't want to go to the door, the risk was too great.

It just so happened that Chen Gui, the Patriarch of the Chen family, was in Xiapi, responsible for the dispatch of food and grass.

Xu Shu visited Chen Gui late at night, which shocked Chen Gui a lot.

"Your Excellency is the Yangzhou spy who was hunted down?" Chen Gui said calmly.

After Xu Shu took control of Chen Gui, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "Yes, please ask Patriarch Chen to do me a favor."

"You want to leave Xiapi, this is not an easy matter. Li Shang has Liu Bei's trust, I don't want to offend him." Chen Gui said.

This starts to ask for benefits.

Moreover, if Xu Shu's status was too low, it would be impossible to negotiate conditions with a big boss like Chen Gui.

Because the status is too low, it means that many promises cannot be fulfilled.

"If the head of the Chen family is willing to cooperate, the Chen family can keep their current status," Xu Shu said.

The tone is loud, not at all like a small thief sneaking in.

Chen Gui naturally didn't believe it, and said, "What guarantee do you have?"

Xu Shu immediately revealed his identity, and No.1 in the imperial examination is still very deterrent.

Although Chen Gui is old, he has heard of the Yangzhou Imperial Examination that has been making a lot of noise recently.

Chen Gui was still happy to have a good relationship with such a person, and immediately agreed.

Xu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, the Chen family was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei, and he could win him over in the future. This was one of the reasons why he came to see Chen Gui recklessly.

As for Li Ru's identity, it has a lot to do with it, Xu Shu didn't mention it.

Chen Gui quickly arranged for the two of them to go out of the city. The guards could stop other people's convoys, but the grain and grass transportation team would not dare to move even if he had a hundred guts.

However, the guard notified Li Ru afterwards.

When Li Ru received the news, he immediately ordered people to chase him, and at the same time gave up the martial law.

The person must have run away, but the responsibility still needs to be investigated.

Because there was a convoy transporting food just two days ago, Chen Gui was full and carried on transporting food again?

Li Ru called Chen Gui and reprimanded him, "Do you know who you helped?"
