Chapter 179: The Storm in the Capital

After hearing his subordinates' words, Chen Han also knew that he was speechless, and quickly looked up at the door, and then pretended to be calm and moved on to other topics.

"Okay, you go down first, and then report to me if there is any new progress."

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

After the subordinates who reported the news retreated, Chen Hanxin was unwilling to punch the table, and the table made of high-quality sandalwood was cracked by his punch.

At this time, Chu Xi, who was in the palace, was staring at the Jinyi guard who was kneeling in front of him and going out of the city to track down with a gloomy face full of murderous anger.

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers went out of the city to track down the fugitives who escaped from the prison according to your will, and they did not find a trace for more than 30 miles outside the city, and the ministers and others have also searched all the other places along the way, but there is still no trace."

"So, if she hadn't escaped from the city, that person would still be in the capital?"

Chu Xi's gloomy voice rang in the ears of the subordinates kneeling in front of him.

Hearing his voice, the courtier kneeling in front of him only felt a chill rise on his back, and his heart couldn't help but shrink in fear, and the hand hanging down at his side broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'm not sure, but if I don't find any traces outside the city, it might be much bigger inside the city."

Chu Xi was not satisfied with such an answer, and looked at the subordinates kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face and gave the final order.

"I don't care where she is, whether it's outside the city or inside the city, I want someone who can catch her, anyway, if you can't catch her, your fate will be the same as the negligent prison guards, what kind of fate will it be, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but you must have heard about it."

After hearing Chu Xi's words, the subordinates kneeling in front of him thought of the rumors they had heard before, saying that after the fugitives from the prison escaped, the emperor heard the news, and in a fit of anger, he dismantled the guards and threw them directly into the mass grave.

Thinking of these rumors, the coldness on the back of his subordinates became stronger and stronger, and a lot of cold sweat broke out of the vest, wetting the clothes behind him and sticking heavily to the vest.

Trembling with fear.

"Minister...... Obey the order......! ”

"Go, search the city with my will, and turn the whole capital over to me, I won't believe it, so where else can she hide, I want her to plug her wings."

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

The Jinyi guards who came out with Chu Xi's dictation were afraid of falling into the same fate as those guards who guarded the heavenly prison, and used all their energy to search, whether it was the ordinary people or the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles.

All do their best to search, regardless of whether they will offend some people who usually dare not offend, because, compared to offending those adults who dare not offend, the most important thing is to save their lives.

As soon as he thought of Shen Xianhe escaping like this, Chu Xi couldn't help but be angry, he still didn't know what the power left by the eldest princess to Shen Xianhe, and he tried his best to make so many things, the purpose was to hold her firmly in his hands, how could he be willing to let her escape like this.

So when he got the news that she had escaped, he added that the prison was directly managed by him, how could he hide such a shame.

So in a fit of rage, he broke all the guards who guarded the prison into pieces, and let the other guards go to watch, so that they could know what the fate of dereliction of duty was.

After sending Shen Xianhe out of the city, Huo Biao returned to Huo's mansion, and after letting his subordinates erase all the traces he left behind, he was relieved to revert to the cynical little overlord of the capital who could not be treated to him except His Majesty.

He was playing with the birds in the courtyard and saw his subordinate walking quickly to him with a red face and a pile of women's clothes in his hands.

"Master, this is going to ...... What should I do? ”

Seeing the twisting appearance of his subordinates, Huo Biao couldn't help frowning and looked at him and said.

"Is this the first time you've dealt with this kind of thing? And even come and ask me what to do? Are you afraid I don't think I'm going to transfer you to a place where birds don't? ”

In the face of Huo Biao's threat, his subordinates only did not have any fear, but turned even more red-faced, and replied to him in a shy voice.

"No, master, how can the subordinates not know how to deal with it, it's just that there is something inside, and the subordinates really don't dare to touch it, in addition, the subordinates have been with you for so many years, and your subordinates can catch any abnormality in your heart, and they can guess what you think, so it's really a little overwhelming to get this thing."

Hearing his words, Huo Biao suspiciously took the clothes that Shen Xianhe had changed in his hand.

Because this subordinate has been with him since he was a child, when he was still very young, the Huo family at that time was still the day when he and his mother, orphans and widows depended on each other, and it was the day when he was looked down upon, and this subordinate has been with him since then.

So, it's not so much a subordinate as a friend, a brother.

As soon as he took over the pile of clothes, this subordinate ran away without looking back, and Huo Biao, who stayed where he was, was speechless for a long time.

Looking at the figure of his subordinates running away, Huo Biao shook his head amusefully and helplessly, because at this time he didn't know what was in his hand.

As soon as he opened the clothes wrapped together, he naturally saw the red dazzling belly pocket at the bottom, and his face instantly became as red as the belly pocket.

Annoyed and angry, he hurried to see the figure of his subordinates, how could there be any figure, he had already fled.

Holding this thing, he was at a loss for a moment, and it was not okay to continue to hold it, nor to throw it away.

Don't look at him on weekdays, he looks like he doesn't pay attention to anyone, he looks arrogant to everyone, and he often lingers in the teahouse restaurant, and he has never lacked any confidantes around him, and he has a different face every time.

But in fact, he has never really touched any woman until now, and those confidantes are just acting on the spot, he has never even touched them, and his emotional experience is zero-based.

finally moved his mind to a woman, and his love was just beginning, but for many reasons, he didn't even have the courage to speak, so he could only silently watch people leave.

And now, he was holding other people's clothes, or other people's close-fitting clothes, standing in place, helpless, and his face was even more panicked.

After struggling for a long time and slowly calming down, he pretended to be indifferent, closed the open clothes again, and opened his mouth to call his subordinates.

"Someone."

A subordinate appeared in front of him.

"Your Excellency."

"Take these clothes and burn them, and when you dispose of them, try to clean them so that no one else can find out."

"Yes."

After receiving his instructions, his subordinates stretched out their hands and prepared to take the clothes in his hands, but he did not hand them over for a long time.

"Your Excellency?"

Seeing his hesitant and reluctant appearance, his subordinates couldn't help but ask.

Huo Biao glanced up at him, as if he had made up his mind, and after solemnly handing the clothes to his subordinates, he turned around and continued to tease the bird absentmindedly.

Just as the subordinate walked to the gate of the courtyard, he couldn't help but turn around and stop him.

"Wait a minute."

"My lord, what's wrong?"

The subordinate who stopped turned to look at him puzzled and asked.

"Forget it, give it to me."

Although he was surprised by Huo Biao's behavior, his subordinates still strode back to him as ordered and handed him back the pile of clothes.

"Okay, you can step down."

"Yes."

After looking at the clothes that returned to his hand, Huo Biao couldn't help but sigh, and didn't have any heart to tease the birds, and returned to the bedroom where he lived with the pile of clothes.

After opening the mechanism of the dark room, putting the pile of clothes in a box, locking it, and placing it in a very important position, I took a look at it, only to find that the contents of the box looked out of place with the other peerless weapons next to it.

However, in his eyes, none of those peerless weapons were as important as the box in the middle of them.

After the Jinyi guard who was threatened by Chu Xi with his life rummaged through the entire capital, he still didn't find any clues about Shen Xianhe's traces, and he was worried that Xiang Shang's head would not be safe, so he came to Dongchang, which had not been searched, and confronted Chen Han.

Chen Han came to the gate of the East Factory with the support of his henchmen, and angrily reprimanded the Jinyi guard who searched the door.

"Do you know what this place is? Dare to search here, I'm afraid it's bold to even come to this place? Or is it that my prestige is gone, so I indulge you here? ”

Looking at Chen Han who was blocking the door, the Jinyi guard who came to search looked at him with an embarrassed face, bowed and held his breath, and explained his intentions together.

"Lord Chen, it's not that the subordinates are bold, but there is really no way, Your Majesty has given an order, the entire capital must be turned over, and the subordinates have no choice, in the capital, except for the palace, this Dongchang has not been searched, not to suspect you, just to do business, and please make it convenient for your subordinates, besides, you also know that the most dangerous place is the safest place, maybe the fugitive deliberately fled here, just thinking that no one will believe that he is hiding in the East Factory."

"Really? I see that you are not only bold, but also more and more ignorant of the sky, and dare to come to Your Majesty to suppress me, very good, yes, more and more capable, okay, today I will let you search, but, don't forget, if you don't find any clues, you know my temper, in the future, you must be prepared not to see me. ”

Hearing Chen Han's threat, the Jinyi guard who came to search began to hesitate, but then he thought of what Chu Xi had said before, what offended Chen Han was Chu Xi's anger, and that was the consequence he couldn't bear.
