Chapter 551: City-wide Search
Beichen Moxuan lingered in the Qingwang Mansion for a long time, and finally stopped the bleeding and wanted to enter the mansion, but was frightened away by the crowd.
Murong Shu was indeed in the inner palace, but after this incident, everyone was panicked and hurriedly ended the palace banquet and returned to the mansion. Murong Ze had already ordered a search for the whole city, and before Beichen Moxuan could be found, the curfew was all advanced.
As soon as it gets dark, every family closes their doors, lest they be caught after encountering something. Beichen Moxuan couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene outside, he didn't expect that this old guy was so cunning. He had already laid a net to seal all the gates, and all the men he brought with him died in street battles overnight.
In fact, there are still many things he doesn't know, Xia Sihan and Li Jinyan, together with Murong Qingmo, have already discussed and arranged all the people and horses, just to prevent Beichen Moxuan from coming to this move.
Now that Beichen Moxuan has no way to live, if he wants to go out, he will definitely turn to his old people for help, and they have also controlled the ministers who were close to him before. Now Beichen Moxuan has no way out, so he can only live in a small dilapidated temple.
This made Beichen Moxuan feel very aggrieved, he couldn't imagine that the lord of the country would hide here, but now there is no other way.
Beichen Moxuan looked out through the window, people came and went, the street was solemn, and from time to time there would be officers and soldiers searching from house to house. Fortunately, he has changed into an old man, and he has changed into cloth clothes, and ordinary people will not recognize him.
Leaning against the roadside, an old man bent his waist, threw out the burned charcoal, spread it on the ground, and turned around and walked in tremblingly. Yang Qingze and a team of officers and soldiers were searching from house to house, and when he saw this scene, he frowned slightly. There seems to be something wrong, but I can't say it, and then I pass by.
He never thought that this old man was actually the Beichen Moxuan they were looking for.
Now although Beichen Moxuan is being hunted down, it is not and is not nowhere to go, he still has some connections in the capital. It's just that I don't dare to act rashly now, and let's see the situation first.
It's just that for some reason, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, and felt that Xia Sihan didn't let him go so easily. Now it's just the officers and soldiers who are chasing, but Xia Sihan's people didn't appear.
Beichen Moxuan hid in the house, the original owner of this house had been killed by him, and now he was left alone. The people who were killed were buried in the courtyard, and if the officers and soldiers did not enter the backyard, there would be no way to find them, so he was also relieved to stay here and hide.
However, hiding like this is not a way, and you can't hide for a lifetime. He will go out in ten days at most, otherwise the army outside the country will be demoralized without him.
It is really embarrassing for a dignified lord to be trapped here, disguised as an old man. And Xia Sihan also knew that Beichen Moxuan would not leave so soon, so she asked Yang Qingze to search everywhere on the surface, but her people were secretly tracking, and she didn't know what Beichen Moxuan had become.
Now Xia Sihan is also at a loss, but there is one thing she can be sure of, Beichen Moxuan has not left the capital yet. Under a city-wide search, anyone who left the city was subjected to strict inspection, including their faces. With Xiao Jiu here, no one can escape her eyes, so Xia Sihan is sure that Beichen Moxuan is still in the city, so people will conduct a large-scale search. But they definitely didn't expect that Beichen Moxuan had been hiding under their noses for so many days.
In King Jin's mansion, Xia Sihan looked at the little prince playing beside him, and there was a faint tenderness in his eyes.
Xiao Jiu walked over, "Owner, the whole city has been searching for several days now, and there is still no news from Beichen Moxuan." That dancer and Murong Xue have already been put in prison, I don't know what will happen? ”
"What does the emperor mean?" Xia Sihan looked up at Xiao Jiu.
"The emperor means that although Murong Xue committed a capital crime, after all, there is the emperor's gold medal for avoiding death. Therefore, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, and she is ready to be expelled from the capital and exiled. ”,
"Expulsion from the capital is too light for her. The old minion beside Murong Xue, have you ever seen it? ”
Xiao Jiu shook his head, "After the accident, the old woman and Aunt Fang Fei disappeared together, and I haven't seen them." ”
"That's right, that old woman is Murong Xue's back road, her trump card. If Murong Xue is allowed to go out, if they are allowed to meet with the old lady in the future, something will happen sooner or later. ”
"So you mean?"
"If it were me, I would have trapped her in prison for the rest of my life. Although she committed a capital crime, she was allowed to survive, which is not against the will of the emperor. ”
"But the emperor may not allow it."
"I think the emperor knows this better than anyone else, as long as the ministers go to the letter, Murong Xue will not want to go out. If it is released, if those princes who are far away in the fiefdom commit it again in the future, what should the emperor do? So we don't have to worry about this matter, the emperor will judge it. ”
Xia Sihan guessed correctly, and Murong Ze was also thinking that if Murong Xue was allowed this time, it would be equivalent to letting the tiger return to the mountain. This time, Murong Xue can cooperate with Beichen Moxuan, and it is inevitable that he will not find anyone else in the future.
These chaotic ministers and thieves all want to stare at Murong Guo for a piece of the pie. Therefore, Murong Ze did not dare to guarantee that Murong Xue would not commit another crime after he went out.
The ministers of the court and the central government wrote one after another, and when they were arguing, the eunuch came to report that Zuo Yuanxiu had arrived. Everyone was surprised, at this time, Zuo Yuan cultivated into the court, what was it for?
Zuo Yuan cultivated into the main hall, saw Murong Ze, knelt down and saluted.
"The grass people are far away, see the emperor."
"Rise up, you want to see me, what do you have to say?"
Zuo Yuanxiu straightened up, neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a deep voice: "The grass people came here for the eldest princess Murong Xue, and the grass people reported her for fornicating with the enemy country, and her crime should be punished." ”
Zuo Yuanxiu took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it over, and the eunuch took it and handed it to Murong Ze.
Murong Ze's face was gloomy after seeing it, "Where did you get these things from?" ”
"This is the correspondence between the eldest princess Murong Xue and Beichen Moxuan, the lord of the Zuo Kingdom, and the grass people collected it from Aunt Fang Fei beside her. Aunt Fang Fei and Grandma beside her have been caught, and they are now outside the noon gate. Please also ask the emperor for permission to let them enter the palace to testify. ”
Murong Ze didn't expect Zuo Yuanxiu to jump out at this time, let alone that Zuo Yuanxiu would send someone to catch these two key figures. After the incident, except for Murong Xue who entered the prison, no one saw these two people, so Murong Ze was also worried about whether there was a trick. Now Zuo Yuanxiu suddenly stood up and grabbed the two of them, which really surprised Murong Ze, and then asked people to take Aunt Fang Fei and the old lady to the palace.
