Chapter 214: King Xuan's people
At this time, Ji Yanning had already managed to sneak out of the Yan Mansion, and it was already dark, so she hid in the dark and ran in the direction of the Ji family from the path.
She must contact her own people as soon as possible, otherwise she will be discovered by Yan Xiaoming, and she is likely to be arrested again, after all, she is now wearing a maid's clothes, which is too conspicuous, fortunately, it is at night, but not many people pay attention to her.
"Chase!" Not long after Ji Yanning escaped from the Yan Mansion, there seemed to be a sound of horses' hooves behind him.
Ji Yanning was shocked, and then turned into a small alley and squatted down to hide in a broken basket, the shadow covered her, and those soldiers and guards rode past one after another, and they didn't have the idea to hide her in the corner.
Seeing those soldiers and horses, Ji Yanning frowned.
If she returns to Ji's house or Baochangji now, there will definitely be Yan Xiaoming's people watching, maybe she has not had time to contact Yuan Wu and Wu Geng, she has already been taken down.
Even if she can escape back to Jifu, now Jiangzhou is under the jurisdiction of Yan Xiaoming, and it is difficult for Jifu to fight against it, even if she tells the people of Jiangzhou that Yan Xiaoming is an enemy spying, others will not believe her words at all.
After all, Yan Xiaoming is the prefect of Jiangzhou and the parent official of Jiangzhou, how could they believe that such a person could have something to do with Yan Guo?
At that time, she and Bao Chang Ji may not be able to end well.
But she must escape now, and she can't fall into Yan Xiaoming's hands again, otherwise who knows what kind of conditions they will propose to Wu Geng.
She ran out into the depths of the alley, but before long, it seemed that another officer and soldier were chasing after her.
Ji Yanning secretly said that he was unlucky, and then pulled his legs and continued to run towards the front.
It's just that she turned into a small alley, and a black shadow flashed behind her, coming directly towards her, she subconsciously shot the last poisonous needle in her hand towards the person, only to see the person who came sideways to dodge, and then said loudly: "Miss Ji, I'm here to help you!"
Ji Yanning paused, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the person in front of him, seeing that he was wearing a black dress, he looked like his martial arts were not low, his figure was tall, and his face was handsome.
She didn't know the person, and subconsciously took two steps back.
The man took out the imperial carp jade pendant in his arms, held it up in front of Ji Yanning, and said, "Miss Ji should know this thing, this is the imperial carp jade pendant of His Royal Highness King Xuan." ”
"Are you Rong Che's person?" Ji Yanning was a little surprised.
"In Xia Jinhe, His Royal Highness King Xuan was sent to protect and help Miss Ji, so please believe me. Jinhe said.
Ji Yanning was just about to speak, when Jinhe suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards them not far away.
"It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, Miss Ji will come with me!" Jinhe pulled Ji Yanning and walked directly towards the path in the dark.
Inside the Yan Mansion.
Beigong Han and Yan Xiaoming's faces were so good that they couldn't see anything, they originally thought that Ji Yanning was a powerless little girl, and there were guards guarding them all day long, so there shouldn't be anything wrong.
How did you know that she ran away like this!
The two days of well-behaved are all the illusions she pretends to deceive people, but she is always thinking about how to escape.
"Haven't you found anyone yet?" asked Beigong Han.
The soldier shook his head and said, "I have almost checked all the streets and alleys nearby, but I still haven't found any traces." ”
Yan Xiaoming said: "What about Baochangji and Jifu?"
"It's already been staring at people, and it doesn't seem that there is any news of Ji Yanning's return. The soldier said, "The people of Baochangji are still looking for Ji Yanning, and they don't seem to know the news that she has escaped, and the large and small shops in Baochangji in Jiangzhou City have sent people to check, but they have not found any news that she has been there." ”
Beigong Han's eyes sank: "Then where can she go?"
Yan Xiaoming said: "She is a native of Jiangzhou, and she is more familiar with this Jiangzhou city than us." ”
Beigong Han was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Keep an eye on the people of Baochangji and Dingbei Houfu, don't let them out of Jiangzhou City." ”
If Ji Yanning returned to the Ji Mansion unknowingly and contacted those people in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, I am afraid that they would have to go out of the city to move the rescue troops.
Yan Xiaoming didn't say anything.
Beigong Han's gaze looked at him.
Yan Xiaoming glanced at the soldier: "Did you hear that!"
"Yes!" the soldier retreated.
Seeing Yan Xiaoming's men retreat, Beigong Han's eyes were still staring at Yan Xiaoming tightly.
"Lord Yan, you don't want to regret it, do you?" Beigong Han narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with a slight questioning tone, "If not, it seems that your Yan Mansion is too easy for people to escape." ”
Yan Xiaoming met Beigong Han's gaze and said, "Your Highness, I have come to this point, even if I regret it, it can only be a dead end, do you think it is possible?"
The corners of Beigong Han's lips hooked up a sarcastic smile: "Who knows, maybe Ji Yanning's words will shake your determination that day." ”
At the beginning, Yan Xiaoming's brother Yan Quan died tragically under the sword of Yan Zheng, and there was no body, he and his mother lost their supports, and his mother was even sick in bed because of this, and died not long after.
His brother had always been the light that illuminated his life, and he thought that they would all have a better and better life, but when they saw hope, it didn't take long for that hope to turn into despair.
Yan Xiaoming's gaze sank, and he said, "I always know what I want to do, and I don't need to be reminded by His Highness." ”
Beigong Han listened to his words, his eyes softened, and he nodded.
He asked, "Have Bai Heshi's things been shipped out?"
"Your Highness don't worry, it's already been sent out. Yan Xiaoming said, "It's just that this Wu Geng seems to be unwilling to hand over such 50,000 gold." ”
Beigong Han said: "A few more days, if he still doesn't know the current affairs, whether it is him or the people of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, there is no need to keep it anymore." ”
He said this casually, as if he were just talking about the weather.
After saying this, he had already walked out.
Yan Xiaoming stood in place, looking at Beigong Han's back, his eyes becoming deeper and deeper.
Wu Geng returned to Ji Mansion a little tired.
It's the third day, and there's still no trace of the eldest lady.
He always felt that the eldest lady seemed to have been taken out of Jiangzhou City, otherwise with their movements, it would be impossible for them to be almost where the eldest lady was.
Yuan Wu, they didn't gain anything at all.
"Tomorrow, let Governor Yan send someone to look for it outside the city. Wu Geng frowned and said.
Yuan Wudao: "No need, let's find it ourselves." ”
Wu Geng looked at Yuan Wu puzzled.
Yuan Wu said: "Don't you think this Yan Governor's Mansion is a little strange? Tonight, the officers and soldiers in the palace seem to have been dispatched, all looking for a maid who escaped from the mansion, and it is said that the maid poisoned the master of the mansion. ”
Wu Geng listened to his words and was a little puzzled: "What does this have to do with our search for the eldest lady?"
Yuan Wu said: "We have been targeted. ”
"You mean, Governor Yan...... How is it possible!" Wu Geng was a little surprised.
He had never thought about it to Governor Yan, but once he had this thought, many things seemed to be able to be explained slowly.
Why did that Zhao Gongzi disappear cleanly on the boundary of Jiangzhou now, and even the things of the Bai family have been transferred.
In the days when the eldest lady disappeared, the government, Baochangji, and Yuan Wu searched the whole city, but they couldn't find a trace of it...... If it was the handiwork of the Yan Governor's Mansion, these things seemed to be more explainable.
Wu Geng's expression became heavy.
Yuan Wudao: "Although we can't be sure yet, we can't trust Yan Xiaoming now, and we can't put the life and death of the eldest lady in the hands of others." ”
If it weren't for their big move tonight, Yuan Wu might not have thought that there was a problem with the Yan Prefect's Mansion itself.
"Do you suspect that the maid they are tracking down is the eldest lady?" Wu Geng said worriedly, "But if the eldest lady escaped, why didn't she come back to Baochang Ji or Ji Mansion? Could it be that she was arrested again?"
Yuan Wudao: "The current situation is not clear, but before ensuring the safety of the eldest lady, you must guard Baochang Ji and take measures to deal with it." ”
Wu Geng nodded.
Since they dared to ask for 50,000 taels of gold, they must have been eyeing Baochang Ji for a long time, and he had to find a way to do both.
It has been several days since Ji Yanning disappeared, and the people in the third room are also uneasy.
Ji Weisheng and the Li family are really afraid that the money of this Baochang Ji will be handed over to others like this, so their life in the Ji family will not be as good as before.
Ji Lan looked at his mother's sad appearance, but he was inexplicably happy in his heart.
I don't know why, as long as she sees Ji Yanning fall into bad luck, she can finally get a little peace of mind in her heart.
Because Ji Yanning is no longer the high-ranking Ji Yanning.
"Hey, I don't know how the big sister is now. Ji Xiaoyun supported his chin with his hand and sighed, "These people are too arrogant, they even dare to take the big sister captive!"
Ji Lan, who was sitting opposite her, said: "It's no wonder that she is too show-off on weekdays, as if who doesn't know how much stinky money she has, but now it's okay, and she suffers by herself." ”
Ji Xiaoyun frowned slightly: "Third sister, how can you say that, my mother said that the eldest sister was arrested, and Baochang Ji may not be able to keep it." ”
"What does it have to do with us?" Ji Lan said, "Ji Yan would rather let the rest of the Ji family get involved in half of the Baochang Ji? Even if there is no Baochang Ji, will it be difficult for us to survive in the third room?"
Hearing Ji Lan's theory, Ji Xiaoyun couldn't think of anything to refute for a while.
She frowned deeper, looking at the appearance of the third sister, but sighed secretly in her heart.
"I'm going back to rest, and I'm going out with friends tomorrow. Ji Lan got up, ignored this Ji Xiaoyun, and walked back to his room.
The news of Ji Yanning's arrest is now known all over the city, but I am afraid that her reputation will be almost ruined, but she is quite happy to talk to those friends.
