In order to cover people's eyes and ears, they all came to find it on the grounds of asking for directions, and never said that they were looking for someone from beginning to end, but the adoptive parents of Ding An (the biological brother of Prince Xiao Dikai) quickly got the news from others and smelled something wrong, so they immediately sent someone to send a letter to Queen Liu to tell them about it.

When he heard the news that two people were looking for a place at the end of the alley, where there was a bridge behind the hill and in front of it, Liu was so surprised that he couldn't hold the teacup in his hand, and the tea suddenly spilled half a cup, and it took a while to come to his senses.

As soon as he came to his senses, the Liu clan immediately sent someone to secretly follow the two people.

"If you catch it alive, you will be handed over to Fang Zhiyi of the Criminal Department. Liu commanded.

Fang Zhiyi is her cousin.

Then, she sent someone to inform Ding An's family and let them live in the place she designated.

After receiving Liu's notice, Ding An's adoptive parents immediately packed their luggage and moved to live in the plum garden designated by Liu's mid-levels overnight.

The Mid-Levels Plum Garden is a royal resort, which is specially used by the royal family to enjoy the plum and snow in winter. In the depths of Merlin there is a dwelling for human habitation.

The Liu family also sent special personnel to guard the gate and surroundings of the Mid-Levels Plum Garden to ensure the personal safety of Ding An and his adoptive parents.

After deploying these things, the Liu family went to see Xiao Hong.

"Your Majesty, according to reliable sources, two people in the capital have been looking for a place at the end of the alley, with a mountain behind and a bridge in front of the mountain. Liu reported to Xiao Hong.

Xiao Hong was shocked when he heard this, and immediately wanted to send someone to arrest him, but Liu Shi hurriedly pressed his hand and said, "Due to the urgency of the situation, the concubine has secretly sent someone to arrest him." In addition, the concubines have placed Ding An and them in the plum garden in the middle of the mountain. ”

Hearing what the Liu family said, Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, held the Liu family's hand and said, "The queen has a very comprehensive arrangement. When asked how many people she had sent to arrest suspicious people, Liu said that she had sent ten people.

Xiao Hong shook his head and said, "It's too little." ”

Immediately, an additional 100 men were sent to search the whole city, and they were required to arrest the two men within three days.

After the arrangement was completed, Xiao Hong and Liu talked behind closed doors.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has a sense of foreboding—someone seems to have noticed it. Liu said worriedly.

She had nightmares for the first few nights. Therefore, in the past few days, there has been a sense of crisis that 'something big is happening'.

"How is that possible?" Xiao Hong decisively denied, "Now, the only people who can know the truth of that matter are me and you, as long as the two of us don't say it, who can find out the truth?"

"That being said, what if someone peels back the cocoon and finds out from the impossible that it may be coming?" Liu said with a worried face.

"No matter how good they are, they can't make a convincing judgment without evidence. Xiao Hong said with relief.

Liu had no choice but to sigh lightly and did not speak again.

Although Xiao Hong was full of confidence on the surface, he couldn't help but be a little panicked in his heart.

Since someone is looking for such a place, it proves that someone knows that there is a person living in this place who is likely to be the person they are looking for, so who is that person who knows? How much information does he have? Where is he now?

If you don't find this person, the threat will always exist, but as long as you catch the two people who are looking for this place, you will definitely be able to ask about this person, so Xiao Hong pinned his hopes on the more than 100 subordinates who rounded up the two people.

On this day, when Zhou Rong walked straight forward along an alley, he didn't go far before he saw a mountain not far ahead, he hurriedly walked towards the direction of the mountain, and soon reached the foot of the mountain, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a bridge at the foot of the mountain, and one end of the bridge led to an uphill road, and there was a house on the slope.

Doesn't this correspond to the characteristics of 'the bridge in front of the mountain behind the end of the alley'? Zhou Rong was overjoyed, and hurriedly trotted across the bridge, and then went to the uphill path.

It wasn't long before he came to the door of the house.

This is where Ding An and his adoptive parents live on weekdays.

Zhou Rong stood still, found that the door of the house was locked with a lock, and listened carefully, but there was no movement inside.

Obviously, there was no one in there at this time, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he was not reconciled, so he walked around the house, trying to find more clues.

He found a vegetable patch behind the house, and the vegetables in the vegetable patch showed signs of freshly picked vegetables. There are several footprints on the dirt floor on the left side of the house, which lead to the main entrance of the house. Although the front entrance of the house is muddy, it is not overgrown with weeds.

From this series of phenomena, he deduced that the people in this house had only left in the past two days.

He didn't know whether the family had gone on a trip or to visit relatives or had moved, but after a few laps around the house, he had a strong premonition that this was the place mentioned in the letter.

Zhou Rong decided to squat here, so he jumped onto a big tree on the left side of the house, used the leaves to cover his body, and then closely observed the surrounding movements through the gaps in the leaves.

After squatting on the tree for nearly an hour, he gradually felt that the atmosphere around him was not right, and when he opened his eyes to look at Zhenzhang, he found that five people came from the uphill path, although these five people were wearing civilian clothes, but judging from their height, gait and look, they should be well-trained people, Zhou Rong let out a low shout 'not good', and hurriedly jumped down from the tree and flew towards the woods in the back mountain.

Zhou Rong chose a tall and large tree to hide in the woods in the back mountain, and carefully looked in the direction of the house through the gap in the leaves.

But seeing that the five men did not go to observe whether the door of the house was locked, but as soon as they arrived at the house, they quickly searched along the surroundings of the house in three ways, and when they found nothing unusual, they came to the big tree where he had been hiding, and one of them climbed up to the tree to look, and saw no one, so he jumped down.

Then the five men split into two paths, one to the left path, all the way in the direction where he was now.

Zhou Rong immediately understood, and immediately quickly drilled towards the grass on one side.

I don't know how long it took to drill, when the sun was setting in the west, Zhou Rong came to a crooked mountain road, he looked around carefully, and saw that it was in a valley, so he picked a mountain path that was not too obvious and went down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, he immediately took refuge in an abandoned temple to change his appearance.

Soon, Zhou Rong turned into a seventy or eighty-year-old grandfather, walking slowly on crutches to the road not far away.

On the road, he beckoned a carriage and said to the coachman, "Go to the first street in Dongcheng District." ”

When the carriage began to run, he closed his eyes and pondered.
