Beigong Han went out of the city overnight, and the next day Yan Xiaoming led his soldiers to surround Jifu.

The Yamen targeted the Ji Mansion on the grounds of tracking down the repeat offenders, and went to the Yamen with witnesses to confirm that the eldest lady of the Ji family, Ji Yanning, took in the felony suspects, and the Ji family committed the crime of harboring, and before the criminals were thoroughly investigated, none of the Ji family could escape the control of the government.

Even Po Cheong Kee began to be searched.

"You ...... What are you doing here?"

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were swarming in, the Ji family guards were about to resist, but they were already pushed to the ground and directly detained.

Then he ordered all the masters and subordinates of the Ji family to be controlled and began to search the Ji Mansion.

"What's going on outside!" Ji Lan got up, put on the veil, walked outside, and said unhappily, "It's so noisy, how can I rest in peace!"

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Ziyu trotting towards the room.

She frowned and asked, "What's wrong, you go out and let them move a little!"

Before Ziyu could speak, a bunch of officers and soldiers rushed directly into the courtyard.

Ji Lan was also stunned when he saw this posture.

"Miss, it's the officers and soldiers who are coming!" Ziyu said in a loud voice, "Miss, let's go!"

Ji Lan hadn't reacted to what was going on, and she didn't know why the officers and soldiers had asked her to leave when Ziyu came, but she couldn't help but feel scared in her heart, and subconsciously obeyed Ziyu's words, turned around and was about to flee.

When the officers and soldiers heard Ziyu's words, they said sharply: "It's Ji Yanning! Catch her!"

Ji Lan ran in the direction of the path, but he fell directly to the ground because he was too scared, surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.

"What do you want...... Why do you want to arrest me!" Ji Lan fell to the ground in embarrassment, raising his head and staring at these officers and soldiers.

Ziyu said nervously behind him: "Miss, are you okay?"

The officers and soldiers drew their knives and pointed at Ji Lan and said, "You harbored the court criminals and committed the crime of harboring, and you still want to deny it?"

After listening to the words of the officers and soldiers, Ji Lan was stunned.

Harbouring the court's criminals?

When had she ever done something like this!

"You guys are mistaken, I didn't!" Ji Lan wanted to take out the name of Baochang Ji to explain himself, and said, "I am Ji Yanning, the eldest lady of Baochang Ji, how could I do such a thing!"

The officers and soldiers looked at Ji Lan, ignored her defense at all, and directly dragged her up and buckled her with their backhands.

"You're the one who caught you. ”

Ji Lan's head was in a mess, couldn't these people understand people's words? She said that she was Ji Yanning of Baochang Ji, why did she arrest her!

Could it be ...... Is Ji Yanning in trouble?

She suddenly spoke: "No, I'm not Ji Yanning, you caught the wrong person!"

The officers and soldiers looked at her, twisted her hands behind her back with ropes and tied them up, ignoring her words.

Ji Lan felt that he was about to collapse, and said to Ziyu: "You, tell them that I am not really Ji Yanning!"

"Miss...... No, she's not the eldest lady, you can let her go! I can go with you!" Ziyu said and was about to step forward, but was pushed away by the officers and soldiers and fell directly to the ground.

The officers and soldiers who took the lead said: "Do you think that the officers and soldiers are so easy to deceive?

Ji Lan yelled at them vigorously: "I'm really not Ji Yanning! I'm Ji Lan, you're mistaken!"

The officers and soldiers who took the lead frowned slightly, Ji Lan's appearance really seemed to be like this.

Outside the courtyard, other officers and soldiers and catchers also walked in.

Wu Zhutou glanced at them and Ji Lan and asked, "What are you doing!"

The officer and soldier said to Wu Zhutou: "This woman said that she was Ji Yanning at the beginning, but she was caught by us but always denied it. ”

Wu Zhutou glanced at Ji Lan.

"I'm Ji Lan, and it was Wu Geng who asked me to pretend to be Ji Yanning. Ji Lan said, "I'm really, really not Ji Yanning." ”

She explained loudly to Wu Zhutou, her throat was almost hoarse.

Wu Zhutou frowned slightly, reached out and ripped off Ji Lan's veil, revealing a face somewhat similar to Ji Yanning.

Because she said that she wanted to pretend to be Ji Yanning well, she not only imitated Ji Yanning in her clothes and hair, but even the makeup on her face made the maid look similar to Ji Yanning.

Some officers and soldiers hadn't seen Ji Yanning much, but Wu Zhutou and the catcher behind him saw at a glance that the person in front of him was not the real Ji Yanning at all.

"Please, let our eldest lady go!" Ziyu, who fell behind her, said with a crying voice.

Ji Lan said angrily: "They all say that I am not Ji Yanning anymore!

Wu Zhutou raised his hand and said: "It's not wrong, she is Ji Yanning, take her back to the cell and take care of her according to the instructions of the adult, don't let people run away." ”

"Yes. The officers and soldiers replied.

Wu Zhutou said: "If you think she is noisy, you can seal her mouth." ”

The officer and soldier said: "It's still thoughtful that Wu Zhutou thinks." ”

As he spoke, he found a rag, tied her mouth directly, made her unable to scream, and took her to the prison of the Yamen.

Ji Lan still wanted to struggle to say something, but she could only make a "woo woo" sound when her mouth was sealed with rags, and then she was escorted to the prison by the officers and soldiers.

Ziyu ran up from the ground, her hands breaking some skin, and she patted the dust off her body and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Wu Zhutou didn't embarrass her.

The news of Ji Yanning's arrest soon spread all over Jiangzhou City, and now the people are even more panicked, because the city gate can't get out, and the officers and soldiers are still making such big moves, as if something big is about to happen at any time, and the streets are deserted.

Baiweilou is still open, but business is a little colder.

When Ji Yanning heard the news from the shopkeeper, his eyes sank.

Being able to drag Jinhe to the fourth day is almost her limit, but judging from the news from outside, the officers and soldiers regard Ji Lan as her and grasp the Yamen prison, so maybe it will be delayed for another half a day and a day.

If nothing else, maybe tonight, maybe early tomorrow morning, Jinhe will be able to rush back with the men and horses of the governor of Jiangnan.

That Yan Guo's fine work doesn't seem to be a simple character, I don't know if he has sensed that he is delaying time, with his acumen, if he knew that she had sent someone to find reinforcements, he might have fled a long time ago?

"Miss Ji, you don't have to worry, Jinhe has always done things safely, and the reinforcements will come in one more day. ”

The shopkeeper looked at her frowning and worried, and couldn't help but calm her down.

Ji Yanning bowed his head and said, "I can only believe him, but I don't know who I caught in the end." ”

As soon as Beigong Han ran, only Yan Xiaoming was left.

Collaborating with the enemy and treason is a capital crime, and once Yan Xiaoming's charges are confirmed, there is no chance to turn over.

Ji Yanning felt a little lost in her heart, she didn't seem to be able to protect those she wanted to protect.

Senior Brother Yan Quan died for the sake of his family, but did she personally push Yan Xiaoming into the abyss again?

He is the only relative of Senior Brother Yan Quan, and he should be the person he remembered and worried the most before he died, right?

The shopkeeper didn't know what Ji Yanning was thinking, and said: "Naturally, those caught are those enemy spies, Miss Ji doesn't have to worry." ”

Ji Yanning was silent for a while before he spoke: "I want to see Yan Xiaoming." ”

"Miss Ji, no. The shopkeeper said, "Yan Xiaoming dispatched all the soldiers in the city, in order to catch you, and now when you go out, isn't it just throwing yourself into the net and falling into his arms?"

Since the prince said that he wanted to protect the safety of Miss Ji, it was impossible for him to watch her put himself in prison.

Ji Yanning rubbed his head, she had seen Yan Xiaoming, and his temperament had become a little extreme for so many years, if he didn't see him, he wouldn't have been able to stop at all.

But she was also afraid that she would not be able to persuade Yan Xiaoming at all, but she was checked and balanced by him and gave him the opportunity to transfer Baochang Ji's money.

"I'll go to him tonight. Ji Yanning made up his mind.

Maybe in the afternoon, Yan Xiaoming should find out if the person in prison is the real her.

It is impossible for Wu Geng to hand over Baochangji's money to him, for fear that he will have murderous intentions, which will be unfavorable to Wu Geng.

"Miss Ji, even if you want to ask him something, you can't go out until the governor of Jiangnan comes, otherwise who knows how Yan Xiaoming will deal with you?" The shopkeeper of Baiweitang persuaded.

The shopkeeper thought that Ji Yanning had already escaped from Yan Xiaoming's hands once, and he must be resentful, and he fell into her ambush again, but he was afraid that he would kill Ji Yanning in anger.

Ji Yanning said: "I can't wait, the shopkeeper will help me contact my guards, with them, I won't be easy to do." ”

The shopkeeper looked at Ji Yanning, who was determined not to listen to persuasion at all, frowned, and hesitated.

Ji Yanning said: "I am free and measured, I can't hand over my life in vain, I regret my life." ”

The shopkeeper listened to her words, shook his head and said, "I don't think you look like you're desperate for your life, and you're clearly anxious to send you to death!

"Don't worry, I'll explain it to him myself. Ji Yanning said.

The shopkeeper sighed, Ji Yanning couldn't listen to his advice at all.

He was worried that if he didn't contact her guards, he was really afraid that Ji Yanning would run out like this.

I could only nod my head and answer, and then let someone pass the news.

An hour later, Yuan Wu and a few secret guards came to the house behind Baiwei Tower.

Seeing that Ji Yanning was safe and sound, Yuan Wu and his party were finally relieved.

They stepped forward and half-knelt down and saluted: "The eldest lady forgives her sins, because her subordinates are incompetent and did not protect the eldest lady!"

Ji Yanning helped them up and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, I carenly fell into someone else's trap, if it weren't for this, I might not be able to find out what was wrong." What's going on out there now?"

Yuan Wudao: "They arrested Ji Lan as the eldest lady and put him in prison, so as to threaten Wu Geng to hand over the money he could prepare immediately, I am afraid that it will be shipped out of Jiangzhou tonight, and Wu Geng's delay will probably only be delayed until tonight." ”
