At this moment, Zong An came running to report to Zong Ze in a fluster. Zhang Bangchang led a large group of people to surround the Marshal's Mansion, and they were almost at the door. Zong Ze informed Zong Fang and quickly brought Yue Fei to the temple at the back. He opened a secret passage for Yue Fei to hide himself, and then began practicing martial arts in the backyard. Yue Fei righteously said, "Old Marshal, I can't let you get away with this. I will not implicate you any further." Zong Ze waved his hand as he hurriedly said, "Yue Fei, listen to this old man. Protecting you is equivalent to protecting the pillars of the Great Song, don't tell me you want this old man to beg you for help?" Yue Fei, who was overwhelmed with emotions, had no choice but to follow Zong Fang to the ancestral hall. He followed the secret passage and hid in the dark room.

Just as Yue Fei left, Zhang Bangchang and his men had already broken into the Zong Mansion. Old Marshal Zongze also came to the front hall, almost bumping into Zhang Bangchang who had rushed over, and Zongze angrily said, "Zhang Bangchang, although the Emperor told me to close my doors and think, he did not dismiss me from my official position. If you dare to lead people to break into the Marshal's Mansion, I will report you to the Emperor."

Zhang Bangchang said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Stay put, don't be angry. Someone reported: You have secretly stashed away the imperial concubine Yue Fei. This humble one has specially come to lead people to arrest him." Zhang Bangchang, what makes you think I'm a criminal? You can't just rely on the words of others to implicate my Zong Ze! " Zong Ze asked tit for tat.

Zhang Bangchang waved his hand, "When we find Yue Fei, it will be the evidence. Someone! "Search him." How dare you! Whoever dares to take a step forward, this old man will immediately kill him with his spear. " Zong Ze's angry roar was like a thunder from a clear sky. The soldiers who were about to step forward immediately retreated in fright.

Zhang Bangchang laughed out loud, "Zong Ze, I can't tolerate you this time. Zong Ze, accept the decree!" Zhang Bangchang took out an imperial edict from his robes and read it aloud: "Obey to the heavens. The imperial edict ordered Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang to capture the instigator, Yue Fei, the civil and military minister of the capital, from the royal family to the commoners. This is it! " Zong Ze had no choice but to sit at the table and wait for fate to decide.

The triumphant Zhang Bangchang ordered his men to search the Zong Residence from top to bottom, inside and out. The lieutenant who came back reported to Zhang Bangchang that he did not find Yue Fei. Zhang Bangchang thought to himself, "Even if we have to search again, we must still search every inch of the ground to find Yue Fei!" At the end of his sentence, the last few words practically popped out from the gaps between his teeth. After hearing the reports one by one, Zong Ze felt a lot more at ease and shouted, "Someone come! Make me a pot of tea. Prime Minister Zhang, do you want a jug of wine? " Zhang Bangchang was furious. He had to dig the ground with his own shovel. After searching for more than an hour, all the soldiers became dejected, unable to come to a conclusion.

Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to leave with his people, leaving the main entrance of the Zong Residence. He fiercely kicked the messenger in the leg and said, "Did you see this clearly? This Prime Minister has ordered you to wait at the Zong Residence's entrance day and night. If there is no trace of Yue Fei, this old man will ask you." The messenger grimaced, wishing he could slap himself a few times. He thought, "Look at my lousy mouth, just what kind of life did I have?"

The search for Yue Fei continued to be carried out in secret. Zhang Bangchang received a report, "Yue Fei was not captured!" For three days in a row, the city gates were closed, and people began to panic within the city. Zhang Bangchang kept urging his emperor, so Zhang Bangchang could only ask His Majesty to extend the time limit by two more days. For the sake of Emperor Liang, Song Guanzong promised Zhang Bangchang that the city would be opened in two days.

When the deadline came, he reported to Song Huizong, "Although this subject did not catch Yue Fei, this is mainly because the city gates have yet to open. Yue Fei hid himself, and looked for a person in the vast capital as if looking for a needle in a haystack, this humble subject has a plan to capture him by force, and when the city gates open tomorrow, this humble subject will definitely send more men to investigate him, and this humble subject will definitely send more men to check the four gates to make sure Yue Fei will appear." After searching for five days with no results, Huizong had to follow Zhang Bangchang's plan.

For the past five days, the Zong Residence had been very lively. Many people had been walking in and out, and those who had gone out had been the same. The scouts guarding the Zong Residence hadn't seen Yue Fei at all. On the morning of the sixth day, in front of the Zong Residence, there was a tall lantern with the words' Happy 'written on it. The servants and their families were dressed in red and were brimming with joy. Just after 5: 00 am, the gate of the city opened, and a group of bridegroom, dressed in red, knocked on the door knocker, bowed and said, "Uncle, niece of yours, Qiu Shan, come welcome the bride. Please open the gate early, and let us know where you are." With that, he bowed three times.

"Creak." The door creaked open, and the bridal cannons exploded. The sedan bearers carried the bridal sedan into the door, and the adults and children who passed by to watch the fun all came to celebrate. The host of the wedding shouted loudly: "Bride, please get on the bridal sedan! "Music!" After another round of blows, the four strong young men lifted up the bridal sedan. With the sound of "Pi Li Pa La", they slowly walked towards the south door.

Just as the bridal sedan was carried to the south door, everyone looked up in shock. Standing in the middle of the door was Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang. "If you capture a criminal from the imperial court, you shall investigate all the passersby." Young Marshal Zong Fang, who was following behind the bridal sedan, quickly walked over and bowed. "Master Zhang, today is my cousin's wedding day, my father ordered his nephew to send you off. He does not want to meet Master Zhang again, I hope that you can help us out." This won't do, capturing a criminal is the will of the Emperor, this old man dares not disobey his sacred orders. " Zhang Bangchang said with a straight face.

"Alright! "The emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed. Milord, please inspect it quickly and don't delay my younger cousin's good fortune." Zong Fang said helplessly. Zhang Bangchang waved his hand, and with a "hualala" sound, dozens of soldiers came over, inspecting the sedan bearers, the bridegroom, as well as the emcee and the groom. As he did not discover Yue Fei, Zhang Bangchang did not believe him, so he checked for himself, and in the end, when he arrived in front of the bridal sedan and lifted the curtain, Zong Fang quickly came over and said, "Master Zhang, there is only one cousin in the sedan, please do me a favor." Zhang didn't answer at all. He lifted the bride's red headscarf and saw a woman crying like a flower with tears flowing down her face. He couldn't believe that Yue Fei wasn't in the sedan chair.

He turned around and said to Zong Fang: "Nephew Zong, right now we have to trouble your cousin and invite her to get off the palanquin. We will search the bottom of the palanquin." Great Master Zhang, it's not like you don't understand that once a bride gets on a bridal sedan, there's no reason for her to get off halfway. Zong Fang said angrily.

At this time, the women in the palanquin began to cry even more fiercely, and the people who were waiting to enter and leave the city began to criticize Zhang Bangchang, but he seemed to be "the bastard who ate a heavy load – steeled his heart", and said harshly, "Come on!" Invite the bride off the palanquin. " Hearing the shouts, a few trusted family members came over and wanted to pull the bride off the palanquin. The groom did not want to continue, so he rushed over to the family and tore off the bridal sedan, holding onto his face as he shouted, "The prime minister has killed someone! The Prime Minister has killed him! " In the midst of the shouting, the groom's head and face were dripping with blood.

Zhang Bangchang ordered the groom to the side, and the bride was unwillingly invited from the palanquin. Yue Fei's traces were nowhere to be seen, so the furious Zhang Bangchang could only wave for the bride to get on the palanquin. Without waiting for Zhang Bangchang to leave, the bridal procession was blown and beaten, and they slowly left the city.

After the wedding procession had walked out of the city for about five miles, Young Marshal Zong Fang bid farewell to the wedding procession. At this time, the lady in the sedan chair spoke: "Brother Yue, are you by my side?" The groom in front of him said, "Miss Siyang, your foolish brother is right by your side." Great, I see that there are no more pursuers behind me, not even a pedestrian. Brother Yue, did you carry me off the palanquin? " The woman said.

This question and answer without a doubt was from Yue Fei and Miss Siyang, and the people carrying the palanquin were the disciples of Karakorum and Kongtong. That person had asked, just now, Zhang Bangchang had strictly investigated, and even the groom and the family had a huge fight, but Yue Fei was not. Then, how did Yue Fei appear among the group to escort the bride?

It turned out that in the past few days, His Majesty had ordered Zhang Bangchang to capture Yue Fei. The city gates were tightly shut, and not even a fly could fly out, much less a human. On the second day of closing the city, the old Zong An reported to the old marshal that a person who called himself Tang Wanqiu had come to see him. Zong Ze hurriedly ordered Zong An to invite Tang Wanqiu, because he found out from Yue Fei that it was Tang Wanqiu's junior brother who swapped horses with Yue Fei, allowing Yue Fei to escape. Only Tang Wanqiu knew Yue Fei's whereabouts, and was even more familiar with the relationship between Tang Wanqiu and Yue Fei.

After greeting the old marshal, Tang Wanqiu told Zong Ze that Yue Fei's brothers as well as martial artists from various sects were all in the city. The most important thing for him to do was to get Yue Fei out of the capital. On the third day, Tang Wanqiu brought Niu Gao, Tang Huai, Siyang, Huang Shen, Bai Ling and the others to the Zong Clan to discuss plans with the old marshal Zong Ze, young marshal Zong Fang, and Yue Fei. Pharmacist Huang was quite scheming, "Marshal Zong, what do you think? "Wait until the gate opens, can we hide Young Hero Yue inside a bridal sedan and carry him out of the city?" When Zong Ze heard this, he thought it was a good plan. Everyone still had to think it over carefully and see what they could do that would be perfect.

Under the influence of all the martial artists present, all the useful things they needed for the wedding were present. The Yellow Alchemist played the flute, Bai Ling carried the lute, the disciples of Kongtong and Kunlun Sect played the trumpet, some played the suona, while Tang Wanqiu acted as the master of ceremonies. I, Gu Sun Ye, dressed up as a servant next to a bridal sedan, and other martial artists picked and carried them; Siyang volunteered to be the bride, and a disciple with a similar appearance to Yue Fei served as the groom. However, with this, the old marshal still couldn't relax. He understood Zhang Bangchang too well, he was a cunning and deceitful person, he suspected Yue Fei was hiding underneath the palanquin, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape Zhang Bangchang's search. What should he do? Yue Fei was the one who came up with a scheme to trade the bride for the crown prince. The wedding procession continued to dress up, and after the wedding procession, a few fast horses came out of the Zong Residence, diverting the spies' attention.

Then, Yue Fei dressed in the same clothes as the groom, mixed into the crowd of onlookers, and when the wedding procession arrived at the city gate, Zhang Bangchang would definitely investigate the situation thoroughly, and with Young Marshal Zong Fang deliberately delaying the time, it was best to anger Zhang Bangchang, as long as Zhang Bangchang forced the bride to get off the palanquin, and the groom would deliberately fight with the officials, and in the process of fighting, he would break the prepared pig blood on the groom's head, and the groom would inevitably be bandaged. At this time, Yue Fei, who had already been bandaged, swaggered into the front of the bridal carriage.

Actually, when Zhang Bangchang appeared at the city gate, as the old marshal had expected, the Zong Palace had a happy occasion, sure enough, Zhang Bangchang received the report from the scout, thinking, your Zong Mansion has been delayed a long time, but here it is at this critical juncture, and there must be something fishy about it. Humph, you think that I, Zhang Bangchang, am a three year old child, will be hidden in a bridal sedan by Yue Fei, thinking of this, Zhang Bangchang hurriedly led his family and imperial guards to the south gate of the bridal sedan, and sent people to investigate the other three gates. This was the truth of the matter: a man who was not content with swallowing an elephant, a greedy vassal lord who had lost his life; and a man who was willing to throw away his family's wealth in order to save them from danger. The head of the house, Tang, galloped his horse towards the capital. He was annoyed that Yue Yang had raised his spear to pick up the Xiao Liang King.
