Although Chen Shiyan was escorted away in the blink of an eye, he jumped down from the upstairs and the movement was too loud, which had attracted the attention of the people next to him, and many people who watched the excitement were talking on the side, and the crowd vaguely spread the words "which is this Ziyi Pavilion singing", "Who is the person who jumped down", "How can there be a person with a knife" and so on, and in less than a moment, the news of "Ziyi Pavilion has stolen children" has spread one after another, and many spectators have also added "The thief stole a gold ingot from Ziyi Pavilion", "This thief specializes in picking up rich guests and so on. The onlookers chatted happily, but one person in the middle was so anxious that he didn't dare to show it on his face. This person is Qiao Niang who followed Chen Shiyan left and right, and Chen Shiyan originally made Qiao Niang watch the wind below. Qiao Niang didn't expect that suddenly, Chen Shiyan jumped down from the upstairs, and before she could react, Chen Shiyan had already been escorted into the carriage, and when she ran to her, there was only a group of people watching the excitement talking. Qiao Niang listened to it for a long time, and all she heard was false news, which was useless at all, and she didn't know where the carriage was going, but she was in a hurry in the crowd, but there was no way at all. Everyone spit and talked for a while, and gradually lost interest, many people shook their heads and left, Qiao Niang didn't dare to stay longer, so she had to suppress the panic in her heart, and kept telling herself to calm down, and dispersed with the people.

Back at the residence, Qiao Niang stayed awake all night, thinking about what to do over and over again, she has been investigating the case with Chen Shiyan these days, and has always admired Chen Shiyan, only to feel that Chen Shiyan is courageous, wise and resourceful, but she didn't expect Chen Shiyan to be taken away, Qiao Niang kept thinking: Why didn't Mr. Chen resist? What happened to Mr. Chen? Later, she thought of the danger encountered in this investigation, first she was plotted, then Ding Si's father was implicated, and now Mr. Chen has no news, she can't help but be a little disheartened, and secretly calculates that if Mr. Chen can return safe and sound, she begs him to leave this matter alone, he has accepted his fate, and the case will be forgotten.

Early the next morning, Qiao Niang hurriedly got up, got up and went to Ziyi Pavilion to inquire about the news to see if there was any news of Chen Shiyan. Along the way, Qiao Niang was uneasy, and secretly thought, Ding Si was not by her side at this time, there was a huge capital, and there was no one to discuss, what should she do? After thinking about it, I vaguely thought that Chen Shiyan and Feng Degao, the young secretary of Dali Temple, were old friends, so I really couldn't do it, so I had to come to the door rashly and ask Feng Degao to intervene in this matter. She thought about it all the way, but there was no safe way, Rao was her temperament steady, and she couldn't help but feel numb.

After a while, Qiao Niang came to the vicinity of Ziyi Pavilion, she looked at Ziyi Pavilion from a distance, everything seemed to be as usual, the tea customers in the morning were sparse, and the vendor selling fruit next to her greeted the passers-by with enthusiasm on his face, yesterday's chaos was like an unreal dream, and it was difficult to find the slightest trace. Qiao Niang walked back and forth in the neighborhood for an hour, but she didn't hear any news, she was depressed, and tears were about to fall. Just when she was in a panic, she suddenly heard a voice next to her shouting: "Qiao Niang." ”

Qiao Niang hurriedly raised her head to look, only to see Ding Si as if falling from the sky, falling in front of her eyes, Qiao Niang's tears finally fell, stepped forward and grabbed Ding Si's sleeve and said, "Ding Catch quickly, Mr. Chen has been arrested." ”

Ding Si has been detained in that courtyard with other dart masters since Hui Gu was taken away, he didn't see Hui Gu return that night, I don't know if Hui Gu and Qi Laosan escaped smoothly, he has been worried about the two, but he didn't dare to show a trace of anxiety on his face, so he had to stay with other dart masters and wait and see. After another two days in this way, at dusk, the dart masters were sent back by two carriages, and everyone only felt that this time the nursing home was extremely strange, but they were able to come back safely, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Ding Si and they returned to the capital, it was already night, and they didn't see Xiong Pingshun when they returned to the dart game, so Master Jing asked everyone to go home first, and then go to the dart game the next day. Ding Si rested all night, and was thinking about taking time to go to Sanssouci Valley today, but he didn't expect to meet Qiao Niang after a few steps.

Ding Si's expression changed greatly when he heard Qiao Niang's words, and he hurriedly looked left and right, but fortunately, no one paid attention to the two of them, he took Qiao Niang to a secluded alley in a few steps, and asked anxiously, "What happened?" ”

Qiao Niang hurriedly told Ding Si what had happened, and Ding Si was shocked when he heard this: "Who arrested Mr. Chen?" ”

Qiao Niang shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

Ding Si paced a few steps, then stopped and asked, "Is there anything abnormal?" ”

Qiao Niang's face wrinkled: "There was no sign of this at all, Mr. Chen suddenly jumped down, and Mr. Chen was taken away before I could run to him." ”

Ding Si paced a few more steps, then suddenly stopped and asked, "Mr. Chen didn't have time to resist?" ”

Qiao Niang hesitated and said, "It seems that Mr. Chen has no intention of resisting." ”

Ding Si let out a "huh" and stood in place and thought for a long time, but Qiao Niang next to him didn't dare to come out, for fear of disturbing Ding Si. After a while, Ding Si muttered, "Mr. Chen's arrival here was originally for me to tell him that there was something strange here, could it be that he found something?" He turned around a few more times, and said to himself: "Mr. Chen didn't resist, he should know that you were nearby, for fear that you would break in and be taken away by them, so he was arrested...... He must have something he wanted you to know...... And this matter is very important......" He patted his head: "Mr. Chen must have news for you." He glanced at Qiao Niang: "Mr. Chen, can I tell you how to notify you in case of emergency?" ”

Qiao Niang shook her head: "Mr. Chen never said it. ”

Ding Si thought about it again, and said, "If I were Mr. Chen, I would leave clues in the tea shop." After thinking about it again, he shook his head and said, "No, the upstairs is so dangerous, even Mr. Chen can't get out of it, he will definitely not leave the clues on it." He looked at the sky for a while, and muttered, "If it were me, I might have thrown things down when I jumped out of the window." Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to Qiao Niang: "Qiao Niang, think about the position where Mr. Chen jumped down, let's find out if there is anything strange." If there is really no here, we will fight for our lives and go upstairs to find out. ”

When Qiao Niang heard Ding Si say this, she was half incredulous, closed her eyes and thought carefully about yesterday's situation, opened her eyes after a while, and said to Ding Si: "Ding Zhu, I'm almost done." The two hurriedly covered up their descriptions again, and when they came to the Ziyi Pavilion, they separated, seemingly walking slowly, but their eyes were firmly fixed on the street, searching carefully. Ding Si walked back and forth two or three times, still finding nothing, and couldn't help but be a little impatient, thinking: If there is really nothing, I might as well go to the dart game first to see what is abnormal in Xiong Pingshun.

At this moment, Qiao Niang suddenly stopped, stepped forward in a few steps, picked up something in the corner, then glanced back at Ding Si, nodded lightly, and walked towards the remote alley. Ding Si knew that Qiao Niang must have gotten something, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the surroundings, he strode and followed.

When she arrived at the alley, Qiao Niang raised the bamboo pipe in Ding Siyang's hand and said, "This thing belongs to Mr. Chen." It turns out that this bamboo pipe is a mechanism that Chen Shiyan carries with him, which is equipped with a flying needle, and when he touches the pin, the flying needle will shoot out. The two carefully picked up the bamboo pipe and found that there were small characters engraved on it, and Ding Si read it out word by word:

"Three days later, Xiong Pingshun colluded with the palace people to rebel."

When this sentence came out, Ding Si himself was stunned first, and he only felt "hum" in his head, and he was a little dizzy, and after a long while, Ding Si looked at the words engraved on it again, which was exactly the same as what he read in his mouth just now, not the same. The two looked at each other, and a chill came to their hearts.

Qiao Niang said dumbfoundedly: "Ding Zhu, this can't be carved by someone, right?" But she couldn't believe it herself.

Ding Si thought of the past in his mind, and only felt that Xiong Pingshun had a close relationship with Zhang Qing and others, where is the relationship between the dart bureau and the guests, it is clearly embarrassing, in this way, then Feng Yue'e must have been killed by Xiong Pingshun and others, but he didn't expect Xiong Pingshun, who has always been familiar and kind, to be so cruel, and even have such ulterior ambitions, Ding Si suddenly felt cold and sad and angry. At this moment, a burst of bells suddenly sounded in the ears of the two of them, and the sound continued continuously, and Ding Si felt that his heart sank: "The emperor is gone." "According to the rules, before the emperor's funeral, the temple in the capital will hit the bell 30,000 pestles, which can be regarded as benefiting the emperor on behalf of the underworld. Ding Si felt that his lips trembled a little, and he couldn't bear the anxiety and said to Qiao Niang: "Don't stay here for a long time, go quickly." ”

After finishing speaking, the two of them tried their best to run out of the alley, and after running out of more than a mile, both of them were sweating profusely, their clothes were clinging to their bodies, and their faces seemed to be washed. The two stood still, Ding Si pointed to the bamboo pipe and said: "Qiao Niang, Mr. Chen must want us to spread the news, now the situation is urgent, we have to act quickly, I happen to have a few sides with the prince, he rewarded me with a waist card to enter the palace, I will enter the palace now, let him prepare early." ”

Qiao Niang looked solemn: "Ding Zhu, you hurry up, Mr. Chen has a very good relationship with Feng Degao, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, I will go and inform Feng Shaoqing of this matter, see what he has in mind, let's divide into two ways, and someone must pass on this matter." ”

The two had made up their minds and did not delay any longer, glanced back at each other, turned around and split into two actions.
