Chapter 159: Prison Robbery
Ye Tingyao's face puffed out, after she told Ye Chen about the idea of opening a hotel, Ye Chen obviously didn't take it seriously, but casually responded to a few sentences and sent her away.
Ye Tingyao thought that he had a few thousand taels of private money, and if he really wanted to open a hotel, he didn't need to take money from the house, and he didn't even need Lu Tianqi's help.
When I arrived in Dongshi, because Ye Tingyao had already brought some jewelry and clothing out, I didn't go to the silk shop again, and only bought a few gadgets from the little merchant, such as rattle, small noodle man, nine links, sugar gourd, etc., I think Xiao Hulu and Xiao Yue will like it.
As for Dumb, Ye Tingyao said that he wanted Dumb to lose weight, but he couldn't help but buy a box of crispy fish for Dumb and Xiaobai.
After shopping for half an hour, the brother and sister got into the carriage again and hurried to the southern suburbs.
"Yaoyao, did you say that the prince would go to Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs to look for us in a while?"
Ye Chen's eyes were full of meaning, Ye Chen already knew about the installation of secret guards in their mansion, and he didn't mind that everything that happened in Ye Mansion reached Lu Tianqi's ears.
Ye Tingyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and he shrugged, "It doesn't matter if he goes or not, he still picks and chooses to disappoint," Ye Tingyao's eyes widened, "Brother, I'm serious, what are you laughing at......?"
……
Lu Tianqi, who was being discussed by the brother and sister, was standing in Emperor Suzong's study with a solemn face at this moment.
"Your Majesty, the minister has ordered Yiwei to search the entire capital, but no trace of Prince Jing has been found." Lu Tianqi hugged his fists.
Last night, Lu Tianqi received an urgent order from the palace, saying that the prison where Prince Jing was imprisoned was broken, and more than a dozen black-clothed masters robbed Prince Jing.
Lu Tianqi received an urgent order and immediately rushed to the prison, carefully questioned the surviving guards of the prison, learned about the specific situation of the thieves robbing the prison, and arranged for the guards to search the capital. But nothing was found.
The fifth prince, Lu Tianjing, was also summoned to the study by Emperor Suzong to discuss, and before he entered the imperial study, Lu Tianqi had already passed all the news to him.
"Father, my son suspects that it was the Dongmi people who trespassed into the camp in southern Xinjiang last time who kidnapped Prince Jing." Lu Tianqi told him in detail about the thieves' martial arts routines and habitual secret weapons, although he had not been to southern Xinjiang and Dongmi, but he had studied a large number of volumes, and immediately thought of them.
Lu Tian prayed for the first word. The minister also had this suspicion. The day when the Dongmi people broke into the camp in southern Xinjiang, plus the time to enter Beijing and prepare, yesterday was just the right time to rob the prison. ”
Emperor Suzong's sword eyebrows were raised. sighed helplessly, "I have repeatedly given him opportunities to spare his life, but he is not grateful. On the contrary, it has intensified, and even colluded with foreigners. ”
"It's the minister's incompetence. actually let the Dongmi people secretly infiltrate the capital. Lu Tianqi bowed.
"Well, I can't blame you for this, but the matter of arresting Prince Jing is still left to Tianqi you," Emperor Suzong leaned back on the yellow sandalwood high-backed chair. Closing his eyes slightly, his voice was slightly lower, "It's hard to catch alive." He knew too much about the one who was caught. Just in case, he must not be spared. ”
"Yes, the emperor can rest assured, the ministers will definitely strive to arrest Prince Jing in the shortest possible time." Lu Tianqi already had a plan in his heart, Yi Wei and Xiao Cavalry Guards divided into four routes, and after leaving the capital, they tracked down the whereabouts of Prince Jing from four directions, because the thieves were most likely to return to southern Xinjiang in the south, so he himself would march with the southbound guards to deal with possible reinforcements on the road.
In addition to the Yi guards and Xiao cavalry guards sent out, Lu Tianqi also ordered the secret guards to search for the mountains and suburbs around the capital.
After discovering the target, Lu Tianqi did not order the secret guard to arrest him, and the secret guard only needed to send a signal to notify Lu Tianjing in the capital.
Emperor Suzong frowned, and when his sharp gaze swept over Lu Tianjing and Lu Tianqi, he finally eased up, and after a period of silence in the study, Emperor Suzong lowered his voice, "When Prince Jiangjing is correct, I will tell you one thing, your two brothers have also grown up, and there are some things and things that cannot be guarded by me alone, especially Tianjing, do you understand?" ”
Lu Tianjing was frightened, but he couldn't go against Emperor Suzong's will and bowed down.
"Okay, you go and arrange it immediately, and you must correct the anti-thief." Emperor Suzong waved his hand, and Lu Tianqi and Lu Tianjing immediately withdrew from the imperial study.
Lu Tianqi told Lu Tianjing about his plan, "...... Tianjing, you already know the signal of the dark guard, the capital depends on you, I am worried that there are still Dongmi masters hiding in the capital, and the emperor's safety needs to be very careful. "Lu Tian prayed that Emperor Suzong had a secret guard, but he had to be just in case.
"I'll cheer up, God, how long will it take you to be here."
"It's half a month soon, if I haven't found out the whereabouts of Prince Jing, I have to go to southern Xinjiang." Lu Tianqi looked serious, if he went to southern Xinjiang, it would take more than ten days to travel one-way and fast, and it would be impossible to return to Beijing without March.
Lu Tianqi thought of Ye Tingyao, most of the secret guards had to go on a mission, and there could only be two people left in the Ye Mansion at most.
There will be a long time when he can't see Ye Tingyao, Lu Tianqi is faintly uneasy in his heart, he wants to fight quickly more than anyone else.
"Okay, Tianjing, time is pressing, I'll go home and get ready to set off in one or two." Lu Tianqi arched his hand towards Lu Tianjing and left first.
Gu Shi heard that Lu Tianqi was going out again, he was very reluctant, and after personally inspecting Lu Tianqi's clothes, he explained softly, "Qi'er, pay attention to safety along the way, don't be too tired, when you arrive at the destination, if you are free, write a letter back, and your mother can rest assured when you know that you are safe." ”
Gu Shi knew that Lu Tianqi's errands were secretly ordered by the emperor, and they were hidden, so as to avoid Lu Tianqi's embarrassment, she never asked in detail, but secretly felt sorry for her son's hard work.
Lu Tianqi smiled at the Gu family, "Okay, settle down, I must tell my mother, by the way, mother, it may take a few months for my son to leave Beijing this time, that, the matter of Ye Mansion ......"
Gu Shi covered his mouth and chuckled, "You, at this time, you are still thinking about the Ye family girl, don't worry, the eldest girl of the Ye family, Ye Tingyao, is it, my mother will visit the Ye Mansion in two days, and she will get things done as soon as possible, and when you return to Beijing, you can prepare to take the Ye family girl into the house, so pray that you will be safe and come back early." ”
Lu Tianqi nodded heavily, time was pressing, and he couldn't allow him to think about it, so he quickly said goodbye to Gu, turned over and galloped south.
Lu Tianqi knew that Ye Tingyao was going to visit Uncle Mo and them in the southern suburbs today, he walked along the South Gate Road, and would pass through the southern suburbs, although he couldn't go to Ye Tingyao to say goodbye in person, but he could take a detour to a small road, that path was near the bamboo house, if he was lucky, he might be able to look at Ye Tingyao from a distance, and he would not delay time......
Lu Tianqi touched the position of his chest, and felt that Ye Tingyao was a little stingy, he gave all the precious jade pendants left by his father to Tingyao, but Ye Tingyao did not give him a thing that could be used to express his lovesickness.
Lu Tianqi took Chen Feng and Ning Han to walk quickly on Suzaku Avenue, and Ye Tingyao in front of the bamboo house in the southern suburbs was carrying gifts and getting off the carriage...... (To be continued)
