Affected by this tense atmosphere, many of them huddled at home, afraid to go out and move around at will, for fear of accidentally becoming the murderers who were caught.
On the tense street, except for the officers and soldiers and the occasional Xiao Si and slaves who passed by in a hurry, there was a pale green figure, and the two tall horses were particularly eye-catching.
Ling Shaofeng followed the traces of the extremely faint wheels, carefully and patiently traced the traces of the carriage that had long been unknown, and finally, found the wheel prints that seemed to be wrapped in coarse cloth, and came to an extremely narrow and chaotic alley on West Street.
As far as the eye can see, the alleys are deep and winding, and even in broad daylight, they are still dark.
The dirty alleys are lined with dilapidated and low-slung houses, and almost every house has stolen and rotten windows, some patched with paper paste, and there are worn-out items littered everywhere, making it difficult to even get off your feet.
From the depths of the alley came a cacophony of all kinds of sounds, the barking of chickens and dogs, the rough roar of men, the wailing of women, the cries of children, the insults of women.
From time to time, there were unkempt people wearing coarse linen clothes and even patches walking around in the alley, and they looked at Ling Shaofeng and Lou Shishi, who were dressed gorgeously in veils, and quietly returned to the house, and some people who came back from buying things from outside also spared Ling Shaofeng and the two walked into the alley, looking back at Ling Shaofeng from time to time.
Fourteen led two sturdy horses to follow behind Ling Shaofeng, who was veiled and couldn't see his emotions, looking at the narrow alley, and shouted out to Ling Shaofeng, who had been standing at the mouth of the alley, "Miss Ling? ”
Miss Ling started from the back alley of Yanyulou, she looked at the road strangely, walked and stopped, and finally stood at the mouth of this alley, but it was already a cup of tea, she just stood here straight, did not enter or leave, what did it mean?
Ling Shaofeng, who frowned slightly, retracted his cold gaze, ignored the head that crept out of the alley from time to time, and looked back at Fourteen, who was a little worried and impatient, and wanted to leave.
"Eleven, haven't they found it yet?"
She has just arrived in Handan, Dongzhao, she is unfamiliar with the place and has no forces to rely on, and there are no subordinates around her who can do things, even if she finds a clue, she wants to find the black hand in the shadows, and it is really difficult to find Zhao Xuanchen.
In Handan, Dongzhao, in addition to her anxiously looking for Zhao Xuanchen, she thought that maybe there was another person who was also looking for Zhao Xuanchen as if he was roasting on fire at this time.
If that person's affection for Zhao Xuanchen hadn't changed after returning to Eastern Zhao, maybe she could cooperate with that person to find Xuan Chen, who was Zhao Xuanchen's sibling, Zhao Xuanxu, the fourth prince of Eastern Zhao.
Lou Fourteen carefully looked at the alley in front of him and shook his head, "Eleven they haven't heard any news yet, but at their speed, they are coming back soon!" ”
Ling Shaofeng wrapped one hand around his waist and the other against his forehead, walking around the mouth of the alley, pacing back and forth, his deep eyes looking into the depths of the alley from time to time.
This alley looks very dilapidated and dilapidated, and from the noise coming from it, it can be roughly guessed that this alley is probably the place where the poorest inferior people in Handan City live, and it is also a place where the three religions and nine streams gather, and it is difficult to deal with the large number of fish and dragons.
Xuan Chen had disappeared from the Smoke and Rain Building for at least an hour, and she couldn't let the clues be cut off here.
The wheel print of the carriage wrapped in coarse cloth is very close, it should be a small carriage, which can hide people without attracting suspicion from others, it should be a relatively simple old carriage, and the wheel print disappeared in this mixed alley, indicating that the person who took Xuanchen was either a person in this alley, or he used this alley to eliminate the traces and turn away.
In this dilapidated alley, you can see more than a dozen or twenty households in front of you, and there are forks in the depths, there should be more households that you haven't seen, roughly estimated, not to mention hundreds of households, these people have lived together for a long time, can they hate the rich and xenophobia, and it is extremely difficult to know where the carriage went.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in Ling Shaofeng's mind, she had an idea in her heart, her little hand took off the purse containing silver from her waist and held it in her heart, threw it up and caught it steadily, and then threw it up and caught it steadily.
"Who is that man? Why are you standing outside our alley? ”
"Look at how she is dressed, she must be a young lady from a big family?"
"Then what is she doing in our poor place?"
"Seeing that she doesn't have a purse in her hand, it's bulging, wow, maybe there are hundreds of taels of silver in it!"
"I'm afraid this young lady can get a lot of silver if she sells it to the Qinglou!"
"She may have more silver on her, if she snatches it!"
"Although it hasn't grown yet, this rich lady is also someone else's flavor to play!"
As soon as Lou Fourteen heard these foul words, his whole cold face darkened.
Ling Shaofeng's keen ears listened to the sound coming from the alley, the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile, and his clear voice complained cutely.
"Fourteen, did you say that Miss Ben's carriage really disappeared into it?"
Lou Shishi looked back at Ling Shaofeng with a puzzled expression, I don't know, why did Miss Ling ask like this, didn't her carriage let herself be unloaded outside the house?
Ling Shaofeng didn't mean to let Fourteen answer, and then continued to speak aloud.
"Those thieves are really annoying, they actually stole Miss Ben's favorite carriage, although the carriage is small and old, but it is also Miss Ben's things, how can people just steal it, maybe, that thief is the person in this alley, stealing things and hiding in this alley!"
As soon as these words came out, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face walked out of one of the rooms in the alley with a hole in the window, staring at the veiled Ling Shaofeng with a displeased expression.
"I don't like to listen to what this young lady says, although our alley is poor, not everyone can be wronged, we poor people also have the ambition of poor people, if Miss has no evidence, don't blame me for being unkind!"
"That's right, all the people living in our alley are pure white families, so you can be framed like this, if this young lady doesn't compensate us for something, you don't want to leave here today!"
A woman dressed as a woman walked out of another room with a boy in her arms, followed by several young women dressed as women, her eyes shining as she looked at the purse in Ling Shaofeng's hand, and she couldn't wait to snatch it.
The obscene-looking young man, holding a trouser belt in one hand and a weed in his mouth, walked out of another dilapidated house, looking at the fourteen-year-old, no, fifteen-year-old Ling Shaofeng with a smile.
"Miss, don't listen to that eight women's nonsense, if Miss is willing to have a night with the master, the master will definitely ensure that the young lady leaves safely!" (To be continued.) )
