Chapter 116: Traces (continued)

"Hey, what are you going to do, this is..."

"What is it? The prime minister has an order, the whole city of Dasuo, you dare to block the search of the officials and soldiers, are you impatient? Get out of the way!!! โ€

The officers and soldiers rushed into a private mansion in a rage, and the dogs that were originally barking in the courtyard were silent in an instant, and the housekeeper who had a straight face at the beginning saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately changed his smiling face and stuffed some "meaning" into the hands of the leading generals

"Huh? What do you mean? The general glared and did not accept the benefits.

"Oh, there is also a meaning for the soldiers..."The butler motioned to the servant to bring some money, and smiled more and more flatteringly: "Please also raise your noble hands and be merciful to your subordinates..."

"Mercy? Of course, be merciful, but you still have to check what should be checked..."

The general motioned to his subordinates to put away the 'meaning', but he did not mean to finish the matter, and signaled the soldiers to search all the rooms, but since they had received the benefits of the other party, they had to pay attention to the importance of rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.

At the same time, the general also learned about the situation of the courtyard with the owner of the house, including who the head of the household was, whether it was an official, a private or a businessman, and who lived here on weekdays.

According to the owner, this private residence is the annex of a wealthy businessman in Yecheng, and the wealthy businessman will live here temporarily when he arrives in Yecheng, and the mansion only has a housekeeper and some guards and servants on weekdays.

After all, as the national capital, it is normal for officials and wealthy businessmen from all over the country to have other courtyards in Yecheng, but since there are rebels in the city, it is normal for these courtyards to become the primary target of suspicion.

For the search team, searching the mansion of the wealthy merchant in Yecheng is the best errand with enough oil and water.

The general asked the housekeeper to summon all the servants to be examined, and the maids were exempted, and all the male servants had to pass the test one by one to see if there were any new wounds on their bodies.

Then each room was inspected one by one, and the walls and floors were constantly knocked to see if there were any walls and tunnels, and many large families would have cellars and walls in order to store some valuables and money, and the searchers thought that this private residence should not be an exception.

Soon, the soldiers found a sandwich wall in a room, and although it was impossible to hide people by its length and width, it was an opportunity for the searchers to make a fortune.

After a soldier drew a knife and shook it, the butler took the key with a bitter face and opened the secret door of the sandwich wall, only to see that there were several partitions in the sandwich wall, and all kinds of jewelry were placed.

"Huh? These items are very suspicious, bring..."

"Ouch! General, this is... Well, that's a little bit of a meaning, and please laugh at it...."

The housekeeper ordered someone to bring some money and silk, which was to "seal money", that is, the meaning of breaking wealth and eliminating disasters, and after laughing at the second round of benefits, the general waved his hand: "Go to the backyard and search it!" โ€

The backyard is where the female dependents live, but there are no female dependents in this private mansion at this time, and the furniture in the room is readily available, and all kinds of clothes and bedding are neatly packed.

I knocked on the walls and floors, found nothing abnormal, and turned into the garden, only to see that there were pools, strange stones, flowers and plants, and pavilions, all of which looked no different from the gardens of ordinary large families.

After a careful search and another knock on the ground, I didn't find anything unusual, let alone any strange traces.

The water in the pool was a little muddy, and the bottom of the pool could not be seen, so the soldiers put their sticks into the pool and found that the water was about waist-deep, and the general who led the troops turned around the pool and found that there was a problem.

The ornamental pond should have lotus flowers or aquatic plants, as well as fish, so the water should not be so mixed, and the soil around the pond does not look like it has been flooded for a long time, that is, the pond looks like it has just been filled.

In the face of the general's question, the housekeeper's statement is that the pond is drained in late autumn and dredged by the way, and then waited until the spring flowers bloomed, basking in the sun for a few months, and only today did the water be re-released, ready to replant lotus flowers and raise fish.

"You only released the water today, so coincidentally?"

"General, what the little one said is true."

"Hehe, come on, poke the bottom of the pool!"

Several soldiers took off their big pants, only the calf's nose was left, and they went into the pool and kept poking at the bottom of the pool with wooden sticks, and after a while the sticks touched hard objects under the mud at the bottom of the pool, and the generals were overjoyed to see this, and ordered the pool to be drained.

The housekeeper was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and then ordered someone to bring money and silk to "mean the meaning", and the generals who were anxious to make great contributions would appreciate the situation, and let his subordinates catch the housekeeper, just waiting for a while to "catch it all".

After tossing and turning for a while, the water was drained, and the soldiers dug up at the bottom of the pond with shovels, and they picked up the silt and dug down a few feet, but there was nothing but some sealed jars.

There was no imaginary floor under the pool, except for mud and mud, and these jars contained a large amount of scattered gold and silver, and it seemed that the pool was just a different kind of storage place.

Looking at an altar of gold and silver, the soldiers' eyes were shining, but the generals knew that things could not be done too much, after all, the wealthy businessmen must have backers, and in the future, they will be unlucky.

"What's going on with these things?"

The general asked knowingly, kept rubbing his fingers, and the butler, who was let go by the soldiers, pasted it with a smiling face: "These are all heirlooms of my lord, not worth any money, these meanings, please accept it..."

When the "money" arrived, the general was satisfied, and went away with the soldiers, continuing to search for the traces of the thief, and the head of the house breathed a sigh of relief, and asked people to close the gate, and just about to turn into the backyard, a small white dog suddenly got into the dog hole in the corner.

The little white dog was very fast, and he couldn't stop barking and ran towards the backyard, and the housekeeper was so frightened that his face changed when he saw this, and then he lowered his voice and roared: "Hurry up and solve that beast!" โ€

ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Underground, Yuwen Weicheng looked curiously at the 'room' he was in, the furnishings in the room were very complete, but there were no windows, and the lighting relied on candles, although it was underground, there was no feeling of suffocation.

Today he experienced an "adventure", from the palace to this place, during the various exciting experiences, so that the young Yuwen Weicheng was both scared and fun, at first he was scared a lot, but now after coming back to his senses, he gradually became excited, and felt that he had the capital to show off to his brothers and sisters.

Yuwen Weicheng touched this and that in the room, it was very tight, Yu Chi Chi Chi Fan sat aside, talking to his sister Yu Chi Mingyue, the two of them had already wiped their bodies with water and changed into dry clothes, wearing sachets, and the smell of sheep on their bodies was gone.

Yu Chi Mingyue initially recovered from the continuous fright, and now, she understands that she may not be able to see her parents in the short term, so she is full of confusion and fear about what to do in the future, and she regrets running away with her sister.

But if he is still in the palace, he has to face Wang Xin who says one thing and does another, and he can't help but be entangled and even have to marry the other party in the end, Yu Chi Mingyue is unwilling, so he feels that it seems good to escape, so his mood begins to be depressed after repeated entanglements.

Wei Chi Chifan was afraid that his sister would think about something wrong, so he hurriedly persuaded her, but her sister asked her what to do next, and she couldn't give a definite answer.

Wei Chi Chifan, who was placed under house arrest in the palace by his uncle, never thought that there would be a day to escape, and the guards who completed this 'miracle' were the secret team arranged by the husband to lurk in Yecheng, and what to do next, I have to ask the guard Wu Ming.

Wei Chi Chifan felt that since Wu Ming had a way to rescue her from the palace, there must be a way to escort her and her son back to Huangzhou and reunite with her husband.

While the two sisters were talking, there were footsteps and dog barking outside the door, and when Wei Chi Chifan was wondering where the dog came from in the tunnel, there was a knock on the door, and after a while, Wu Ming turned in, holding a small white dog in his arms.

"It's Xiaobai! How did Xiaobai end up here? โ€

Wu Ming couldn't figure out this question, and replied a little helplessly: "Well, it's a long story, probably by chance..."

Yu Chi Mingyue happily took Xiaobai from Wu Ming's hands, held it in her arms and teased, when she was still on the side of the rockery, Xiaobai followed her sister and her party over, but she didn't take Xiaobai away when she went over the wall, she thought that she would never see this cute puppy again.

Xiaobai stopped calling after seeing the master, and accepted it meekly**, Yuwen Weicheng saw his aunt holding Xiaobai, so he leaned in and touched this human puppy.

Wu Ming saw that the dog was no longer barking, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that it was right to save the dog that had scurried into the backyard from under the stick.

The dog's sense of smell is very sensitive, and it can track the owner of the smell according to the smell, which is used by the guards of the Xiyang Palace, who train the dog with a keen sense of smell to track the target person.

At the same time, in order to avoid being followed by dogs while sneaking, you should take the appropriate measures, which is to change your own scent or cover it with another scent.

In order to prevent the pursuers from tracking with dogs, Wu Ming asked several nobles to change their clothes before leaving the tunnel, and sprayed some sheep urine on their bodies to cover the smell, and then took them to move elsewhere.

These are all necessary means listed in the plan, and they are prepared in advance, so the nobles who quickly move to the exit by the trolley quickly change their clothes and move here before the street is blocked, and enter the basement to 'evacuate'.

I thought it would be okay like this, but the pet little white dog raised by the princess's sister could still follow, but fortunately the puppy came alone, otherwise everything would be over.

Wu Ming thought about it, he had close contact with this dog, so it was very likely that the other party did not follow the scent of the princess's sister and the prince, but followed his own scent.

Such details were overlooked.

Wei Chi Chifan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that his sister was in a much better mood, but he was still a little worried, and asked, "Wu Dianwei, what should I do next?" โ€

"Princess, please rest assured, this place is very safe, and when the wind passes, you can go up to the ground room to live, but if you want to leave Yecheng, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while, waiting for the opportunity."

"That's right..."

Wei Chi Chi groaned, this basement reminded her of the 'refuge' in the palace, when the king of Shixing of Chen led his troops to attack Xiyang, and entered the city to attack the palace under the response of Neiying, at that time she and other female dependents hid in the underground shelter in the palace for refuge.

Seeing that the princess frowned, Wu Ming hurriedly explained: "Princess, please rest assured, this is a 'safe house', very safe, the basement is well ventilated, and dry food, water, clothes, bedding and daily utensils are stored, even if you keep hiding underground, you can last for several months." โ€

Wei Chi Chifan nodded, she knew that what Wu Ming said was true, this so-called 'safe house' she heard Yu Wenwen say that the 'design index' is to be able to 'self-sustain' for more than half a year without leaving home, and the basic facilities are readily available.

This underground safe house has a bedroom, a bathroom, a toilet, a study, a living room, furniture, tableware, good ventilation, and a few lights in each basement, if it is not for the lack of windows, it is really no different from an ordinary room.

There are also enough rooms in the safe house for the 'guests', one for Yu Chi Chi Fan and his son, one for Yu Chi Mingyue, one for Princess Qianjin and one for Agnรจs, and one maid in each room.

Of course, these maids are actually the female guards of the Xiyang Palace, not the maidservants bought in Yecheng, the henchman Cuiyun, who fled with the princess, and takes care of the prince.

Seeing that his son and sister were teasing the dog, Yu Chi Chifan got up and went to another room, where the princess stood beside the couch and watched the doctor treat the wounds of Agnรจs who was lying on the couch, and the two of them also changed their clothes and wore sachets.

Of course, the doctor is also served by the guards, although it is part-time, but the standard is not low, after all, when the cat team performs the task, the doctor needs to accompany the doctor to deal with all kinds of wounds, which is a life-saving reliance, and it is impossible to make up the number with quacks.

Seeing Princess Xiyang coming, Princess Qianjin was so excited that she held the other party's hand and said; "Thank you Princess, thank you Princess!"

Yu Chi Chi Chi smiled slightly: "The eldest princess doesn't have to be like this, when he returns to Chang'an one day, the Son of Heaven doesn't know how happy he should be to see the princess." โ€

Princess Qianjin nodded, only feeling that a thousand words could not be worth a word "thanks", and as soon as she settled down here, she impatiently asked what the current situation was and what the situation of the Son of Heaven was, and Wu Ming answered them one by one.

Princess Qianjin learned from Wu Ming that her younger brother not only escaped from Yecheng safely, but was also rescued by King Xiyang in Yuzhou, and then arrived in Chang'an to rebuild the court with the assistance of King Qi.

Knowing that her younger brother was safe and sound, the daughter princess who was a sister cried with joy, and she was able to escape from the palace thanks to the efforts of the guards of the Xiyang Palace.

Think about how she was saved by the King of Xiyang in Panyu, Guangzhou, and the King of Xiyang not only saved the life of the Son of Heaven back then, but also saved the Son of Heaven for the second time last year, and the person sent here now saved her for the second time.

No, to be exact, King Xiyang saved her three times, because when she was in Panyu, Yuwenwen also got rid of her drug addiction, otherwise without the antidote of Trus, she was afraid that her drug addiction would be worse than death, and she would chew off her tongue.

And since she broke her leg, thanks to the words of Princess Xiyang and her sister, she was able to get timely treatment, although she was lame, it was better than not being able to keep her leg, and later she also lost the protection of these sisters, although she was under house arrest, she was well clothed.

Thinking about it, Princess Qianjin felt more and more that the Xiyang Wang's family was as kind to her as a mountain, and seeing that Sister Yu Chi Chifan was quite frightened about the puppet emperor, the puppet queen, and the puppet queen mother, she decided that after reuniting with her brother in the future, she must try her best to intercede for Sister Yu Chi and Yuwen Weicheng.

Isn't it a matter of course?

For the princess of Qianjin, Yu Chi Mingyue is the queen who is married to her younger brother Ming Media, although the behavior of the Yu Chi family is now a big rebellion, but Yu Chi Mingyue is a weak woman who is just a poor person who can't help herself.

Until now, she still regards Yu Chi Mingyue as her brother-in-law, so if there is a future, she hopes that her younger brother can give Yu Chi Mingyue a way to live.

Seeing that Yu Chi Mingyue was not present, Wu Ming hurriedly said the news that was difficult to say before: "Eldest princess, princess, not long ago, there were rumors in Yecheng, saying that at the beginning of the year, His Majesty had announced to the world in Chang'an that the queen had been abolished as a concubine. โ€
