Chapter 404: Tracking
In the middle of the night, Song Yanran and Qing'er went out of the house, and it was also lonely outside, and they couldn't do anything, so they could only find an inn to live in, and act at dawn early tomorrow morning.
And their whereabouts were not only exposed to Song Linlang, Su Mian soon got the news, and when the sky was slightly bright, Su Mian was woken up by the maid.
Because she said that she would report about Song Yanran's situation as soon as possible, the maid didn't dare to delay, so she woke up Su Mian hard, and then said quickly: "Princess, the following will report that Miss Song came out of the house with the maid last night and stayed in an inn behind the main street, and our people have followed as soon as possible." ”
Su Mian suddenly fell asleep, jumped up from the bed suddenly, and rubbed his hair indiscriminately: "It's the guest house, what's going on now?" ”
The maid carefully helped her get up, and told her uneasily: "Princess, don't get excited, be careful, we have someone to keep an eye on, she can't run, if you don't worry, I'll give you makeup now, and we'll go over and have a look at it immediately." ”
Su Mianfei nodded quickly, and her temperament was very impatient: "Just comb one casually, save time, by the way, let someone inform the county lord, she will definitely be more interested than me." ”
Qiushuang quickly responded and ordered the little maid at the door to inform the county lord, and then she quickly combed Su Mian's hair and changed into light clothes, Su Mian couldn't wait to find Shen Manzhi.
Although the two of them still had a dispute over this matter yesterday, but now they heard that Song Yanran, the most headache problem, helped them solve it by herself, and both of them were excited and couldn't help but be excited: "She is really restless, she bumped into her by herself, I must teach her a good lesson." ”
"Yes, don't worry." Su Mian patted Shen Manzhi on the shoulder and promised, "I will definitely do what I promised you, I won't just talk about it, if they don't help, we can solve it ourselves." ”
Shen Manzhi was moved, she didn't expect Su Mian to be really willing to accompany her on the adventure, her heart was moved, and her tone softened: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before, I shouldn't have scolded you like that yesterday, I took back what I scolded you before, but your emperor is really incompetent, just a coward, I am inseparable from him!" ”
is about to be a husband and wife, Shen Manzhi has not seen Gu Zhao yet, but he can't have any affection for him, and he used to look forward to who he would marry, but now he can't wait to let her enter the palace for the rest of his life.
Su Mian was helpless, but she also knew that it was not a matter of a day or two to make the county lord change, so she could only put this matter down first, and said softly: "Don't mention these unhappy people, we will block Song Yanran now, I have thought about it, doesn't she want to save face the most and care about her face the most?" We're going to disgrace her! ”
Shen Manzhi nodded approvingly, and the two quickly took their respective maids and got into the carriage.
Su Mian obviously had to be prepared, there were two white hats in front of the carriage, she handed one to Shen Manzhi, and whispered: "Put it on, although it doesn't matter if Song Yanran recognized us just now, but we can't let others grab the handle, let her also taste this kind of taste, knowing who the murderer is, but having nowhere to help." ”
Shen Manzhi's eyes lit up, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and finally sincerely felt that Su Mian was a good person, and praised: "Or are you thoughtful, is it about to arrive?" ”
Qiushuang, who was driving the carriage in front, answered, and quickly asked: "It's almost there, county lord, princess, are we going to go directly into the inn to find it?" ”
Su Mian frowned slightly, with a solemn expression: "When the time comes, it depends on the situation, I don't agree with entering the inn, there are many guests inside, it's not good to be too eye-catching, let's just wait for her to come out outside, she can't stay in the inn all the time." ”
Shen Manzhi didn't agree with this, what if Song Yanran really didn't come out all the time?
She was locked up in the Guogong Mansion by Zhu Lin, and now she finally ran out secretly in the middle of the night, and she definitely didn't want to be found, so there were also cases where she stayed in the inn and couldn't come out.
If so, what should be done?
Shen Manzhi hadn't figured it out yet, when he heard Qiushuang's excited voice outside.
"Princess!" Qiushuang reined in the horse, slowed down the speed of the carriage, and hurriedly said, "There is a carriage coming out of the inn, and it seems that Miss Song is on the carriage, and I saw her maid Qing'er." ”
Su Mian opened the curtain of the carriage and glanced out, and saw that there was indeed a carriage in front of him, and immediately ordered: "Follow up." ”
Qiushuang hurriedly drove the carriage to follow.
Shen Manzhi was excited: "It's easy for her to come out, see where she is going, what she is going to do, she has to come out desperately when she is locked up in the house, which means that this thing she is going to do outside must be very important, maybe we can still have unexpected discoveries." ”
Su Mian also thought so in her heart, so she was a little excited, and said happily: "Yes, it's very tight, don't lose it." ”
Ahead, on Song Yanran's carriage, Qing'er was always a little uneasy, kept stirring her fingers, and said anxiously: "Miss, is it really necessary for us to go on this trip?" ”
"Why is it not necessary? A must go. Song Yanran's eyes were firm, and her face was unusually serious, "Who knows if they will know something, if it reaches Gu Zhixing's ears, do you think he, a prince who stands on the side of the county lord of Mengke, will still show mercy to my subordinates?" ”
Speaking of which, the last time Gu Zhixing saw Lin Zhao's corpse, it already made her have a shadow, although she lied that Lin Zhao committed suicide in fear of sin, but for such a lame reason, Gu Zhixing is a smart person, how can she believe it?
So she had to make sure that nothing went wrong. every day
She is not afraid of being discovered, but after being discovered, there will be too much trouble, she will be the one who will enter the palace in the future, and after entering the palace, these things are likely to become bargaining chips for others to threaten her, and she will never allow it.
Qing'er always felt that something was wrong, and when she looked back, she didn't see anything, and said worriedly: "But Miss, I always feel that someone is following us." ”
Song Yanran was upset by what she said, and scolded with a cold face: "You are crazy, who will follow us, we have been so careful when we stayed at the guest house, we will not be recognized, don't be suspicious, if you are shocked, you don't want to go with me." ”
Song Yanran's tone was too cold, and her expression was very ugly.
Even if there was anything at this time, Qing'er didn't dare to say it, so she could only apologize: "I'm sorry Miss, I just don't say it." ”
The carriage went all the way out of the city, and the more Su Mian followed, the more she felt that something was wrong: "Where is she going?" After leaving the city, the road outside is wide and there are few cars, and if we keep following, we may be exposed. ”
"Slow down a little and follow from a distance." Shen Manzhi commanded, and then said quickly, "No matter where she is going, there must be something, and when she goes out of the city early in the morning, maybe we can really catch some tricks this time." ”
Shen Manzhi was faintly excited.
Although Su Mian had been very scared, she didn't know if it was luck or Song Yanran's vigilance in front was too low, they were not found all the way, and they followed Song Yanran's carriage into a small mountain village.
When entering the village, Satsuki saw the name written on the stone tablet on the side of the road, Tartary Buckwheat Village.
She reacted immediately and hurriedly reported: "County Lord." I remembered, didn't you mention before that Song Yanran had a guard who committed suicide in fear of crime, I investigated, and that guard's hometown is here! I originally wanted someone to come here to investigate, but Lord Chen Yuan didn't let me interfere, and said that the court of Xisheng would deal with it, and I couldn't find anyone, so I couldn't follow up. ”
Shen Manzhi's mind spun quickly, and he almost quickly understood: "So Song Yanran came here to find the guard's family?" What could his family know, and would she have to take such an adventure? ”
Satsuki can't tell.
Su Mian answered softly: "It's hard to say, we came out all the way just now, and this village is not far from the city, so Lin Zhao is likely to go home often, and after he comes back, no one can be sure that he will talk to his family about his official business." ”
Shen Manzhi nodded approvingly: "So Song Yanran is also afraid that the imperial court will find out about his hometown, so he can't wait to kill people." ”
Su Mian shook his head, thinking that it shouldn't come to that point, but his face was somewhat solemn, and he frowned: "Not necessarily, maybe it's to buy people's hearts, let's go and see first, it's not appropriate for the carriage to drive in, let's get out of the car and walk in." ”
Several people agreed with Su Mian's opinion and quickly got out of the carriage.
They followed Song Yanran all the way into the yard, and turned around to a house deep in an alley, where Song Yanran and Qing'er knocked on the door and entered.
"Mother, what should we do now? I can't get in. Autumn Frost and Satsuki carefully checked the situation in front, and the problem at hand was troublesome again.
Su Mian glanced around, his eyes suddenly fell on a tree outside the yard, and he glanced back at several other people: "Do you know how to climb trees?" ”
Su Mian originally thought that Shen Manzhi was a county lord who couldn't climb trees, but she didn't expect Shen Manzhi to be the first to climb up, Su Mian was dumbfounded, but she had to help Shayue and Qiushuang to go up.
Su Mian softly instructed the maid: "You guys hide outside, ready to answer us at any time, and the two of us can go in quietly." ”
Then she and Shen Manzhi jumped from the tree to the wall and jumped into the courtyard of Lin Zhao's house.
Although Lin Zhao said that he was the culprit who bought the murder of the county lord, he committed suicide in fear of the crime, but because the evidence was completely unclear.
Only Song Yanran's statement is not enough to support it at all, and Song Yanran's statement is still different from what the two assassins who caught it.
So the court didn't come to harass his family, but now they all went into the house because of Song Yanran's arrival.
Moreover, the Lin family is not a big family, and there is no one in the family.
So when Shen Manzhi and last year jumped in, no one found out.
The two of them were timid, like thieves, looking for the room where the voice came from, and slowly leaned over.
