Coupled with the high night darkness and high wind, the moon did not know when it would disappear into the clouds, and although the sky was clear, it was still under the shadow of many buildings.

Let Cheng Cheng and his party lose Li Jicai's trace.

At the moment, what else can Cheng Cheng do?

Search, only search!

"Go and inform the government that martial law is imposed in the whole city, and everyone who leaves the city in the morning is strictly checked, as long as it is a woman, all stay, and all are not allowed to leave the city.

The lying, the sick, the masked, and even the dead in the coffin were carefully examined for me, and I couldn't let go of anyone who might be a young lady. “

After Cheng Cheng searched for a while, he finally stopped. With a gloomy face, he said in a cold tone to the guards who came up.

Obviously, Cheng Cheng blamed them, blaming them for not protecting Li Jicai.

"Yes......" the guards roared in unison.

Cheng Cheng sent all the people out and ordered them to search carefully around until Li Jicai was found.

The four princes already knew the news that they were about to return to the capital, and they agreed.

But just as he was about to kick the door, suddenly Li Jicai disappeared.

If the fourth prince knew about this, I am afraid that he would not be mad.

Early the next morning, after the county magistrate of Jinzhou learned that the nobleman had been kidnapped, he almost didn't fall out of bed.

In the past, he slept until three poles in the morning, but now he was called by his subordinates to say that something was wrong, and the Jinzhou County Commander was so frightened that his soul fell.

The six gods had no choice but to transfer all the troops according to the plan, and then the whole city was under martial law.

In fact, it is also easy to find Li Jicai, because the scar on the neck of the loin is difficult to erase.

Whether it is a dead person or a living person, as long as they check their necks, they will definitely be able to find Li Jicai if there is a problem.

However, Cheng Cheng ignored one point.

Jinzhou is not small, and suddenly the whole city is under martial law, ordering searches, queuing up to test those people, not only the four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, not to mention the huge pressure, but also a little insufficient manpower.

Wu Mian stayed silently under the ground, for more than a day, not daring to poke his head out.

He was afraid that Li Jicai would wake up, so he secretly drilled out once halfway through, and then took a brick to shoot Li Jicai unconscious.

I don't know if it was the reason why Li Jicai fell too hard yesterday, but when he saw Li Jicai during the day, Li Jicai's face was covered with blood, which scared him a lot.

But when I went to probe her snort, I found that she was still breathing. In addition, the wound has also scabbed, and the original bright red blood color has also turned maroon.

Now she must not be able to hire a doctor, and he will not be able to save her.

Wu Mian was a little worried, he had told his employer that once Li Jicai was stolen out, he would immediately send him to that place.

But now he stole people out, but he didn't have time to send them over, doesn't this mean that he broke the contract with his employer, and his employer never showed up, and he didn't know what his identity was, only that he paid a high price.

Now the employer must not be waiting for him in the agreed place, and he is estimated to have run away a long time ago.

I haven't been in contact with it a few times and I'm not familiar with it, and I haven't left a code of contact or anything like that. This is considered a mistake on his part.

Originally, Wu Mian thought that he could succeed at one time and then solve it quickly, but he didn't expect that the person he stole this time was extraordinary, which was equivalent to planting a heel on it and breaking his leg.

And through a courtyard wall, he could hear the sound of officers and soldiers running by.

This familiar voice, Wu Mian was already numb to hear.

He had heard the unique voice of the armor many times, and he would always hear them every time he succeeded in stealing.

On several occasions he was almost caught, but he escaped by his cunning and luck.

He didn't know what the identity of this woman was, and he didn't know what his employer's identity was, but now he knew that he really stabbed the hornet's nest.

Seeing so many people coming out to search for this woman, presumably this woman's identity must not be simple, maybe it is, and the children of high-ranking officials and nobles may not be sure.

Wu Mian was a little puzzled, since he was such an important person, why did that employer put him on the table to let him do this, shouldn't he choose a better and more powerful person?

Just call a thief to steal someone.

Thinking about it, Wu Mian felt that the other party might just want to test it to see if he could steal it, and he was one of the top and most clever thieves in this Jinzhou City, if he couldn't steal it, then others would not be able to steal it even if they formed a group.

Oops! I am a bird for others, and I am a pathfinder for others.

MD, it's a big loss!

However, it is too late to regret it now.

Now the two of them are trapped here and can't move, looking at each other's formation, it is estimated that the city gate must be under martial law now, and other officers and soldiers began to search for them on a large scale.

If he wanted to get out of the city easily, it must have been extremely difficult, and it would be even more difficult.

What can I do about this, Wu Mian's heart was infinitely annoyed, and he sighed again and again.

Trapped in a hole in the ground, wrapped in mud and shrunk in a ball, his bones were sore, and he couldn't move.

I have had such an experience before, and Wu Mian gritted his teeth and endured it. In order not to be discovered, he didn't drill anything?

has always been alone, and has always been self-sufficient.

He never had any friends in Jinzhou City, because he was afraid that his friends would betray him, and he couldn't be trusted.

He'd seen a gang of thieves like him before, and because one of them was caught, they exposed each other, and everyone ended up in prison.

From the beginning of his embarkation on this road, Wu Mian has always been fighting alone, and has never begged anyone.

Although he knew that what he had done was not glorious, and it was even like the hope of the whole village, which polluted the lintel of his Wu family.

But I can't eat enough, I can't wear warm clothes, and I have nothing to do, so I have a poor life, even if I am honest and honest, but can I be honest and honest?

Their Chagouzi Village is a notoriously poor place, and every year the local officials carry a few bags of soybeans to see them, who knows if there is any food allocated from the top to allocate money down, and if so, it is afraid that it will be gone after layers of exploitation.

The village is poor, and everyone has yellow faces and thin muscles. I don't get a full meal all year round. The pot is often filled with clear soup and little water. Some people in the village can even fight for a wild vegetable. The land is barren and can't grow much food, and the people in the village have been cultivating for generations, and they have never thought of moving to other places, so the people of Wu Mian's generation want to go out and break through.

But they don't know anything except grow crops, and Wu Mian doesn't have any skills, so where can they eat craft rice?

Because he came from a rural village, the inns in the city didn't treat him very well, and he was disgusted with his rustic mouth and stupidity, he couldn't speak, he was still short and thin, and he had no strength to work, so what was the use of a person like him?

ran into a lot of walls, and Wu Mian became discouraged. came and went, and somehow got caught up in the evil act of stealing.

Knowing that it is wrong to do this, knowing that doing this, I am sorry for the world, sorry for my parents and elders, sorry for my conscience.

But he just wants to have a full meal, and people like him are not willing to give even a little bit of food to beg.

People are forced to be in a hurry, what can't be done?

There are no good people, no bad people, no good people in this world. In Wu Mian's heart, he felt that there were only the poor and the rich.

So every time he steals, it's the rich people who look big-bellied and shiny.

Perhaps this is the only comfort that Wu Mian can give himself, he is robbing the rich and helping the poor, not just for himself.

Because there was no helper in Jinzhou City, Wu Mian fell into a situation where the heavens should not be called the earth.

But even in such a situation, he never thought of giving up, and he didn't think about leading Li Jicai to surrender.

If you turn yourself in, there is only one way out.

Wu Mian is very profound, and he understands this very well, and the person he stole is not an ordinary person.

Moreover, in the process of turning Li Jicai, he also discovered that Li Jicai was unusual.

The visible scar on her neck, the scar of burns. Even if you cover it with mud, you can't cover it.

And for no reason, who would cover their neck with mud?

If he led Lee Ji-chae out in disguise and tried to wait for an opportunity to escape, he would definitely be caught, as far as the scar on Lee Ji-chae's neck was concerned.

Wu Mian's shrewdness is here, he can carefully consider all aspects of things. He will only act accordingly after making sure that nothing goes wrong, otherwise he would rather give up on him than come out.

But hiding in a water tank is not a long-term solution.

Wu Mian must find a way to break the game.

Due to the limited manpower, Cheng Cheng led the people to search around the inn very slowly.

Because they not only have to check the specific number of people in each household, but also check their homes to see if there are tunnels and hidden doors, and they can't let go of the places where they can hide people, in the grass, in the pond and even under the bed.

Everything imaginable has to be searched, and I'm going to be slower.

Cheng Cheng originally had a certain degree of certainty that he would be able to get Li Jicai back in a short period of time, but obviously the other party was not an ordinary person, otherwise it would be impossible to steal Li Jincai under their noses so silently.

This undoubtedly increased the difficulty, which made Cheng Cheng also start to worry.

There are not enough people, the place is too big, and the other party is very cunning. This day is the right time, place and people, and Cheng Cheng does not occupy it. Can you not be anxious when you think about it?

But it's useless to sit and think, you can only do your best to find it. Of course, Cheng Cheng also reported this matter to the fourth prince Jiang Xihu as quickly as possible.

But some news could not be hidden, and the news of Li Jicai's disappearance soon spread.

Not only all the famous nobles here in Jinzhou know about it, but even the court side also knows that the woman that His Majesty is about to meet is missing and gone.

It's good, a big living person is gone.

The turmoil caused by this is unknown.

Originally, Emperor Gao De just casually mentioned the words about meeting Li Jicai at that time, but later because of the busy state affairs, he just cared about it and didn't pay much attention to it, and when Li Jicai returned to the capital, he would naturally be able to see her.

But now there are no people.

Gao Dedi inexplicably felt offended. If the other party knew that this woman was the woman he wanted to see, and deliberately robbed him, what kind of thoughts did he have, did he want to provoke him, the emperor?

This matter did not wait for the fourth prince Jiang Xihu to report it, and the ministers also pretended to be deaf and dumb, and did not squeak.

No one dares to take the lead.

However, in the end, Emperor Gao De still knew about this matter, and the reason why Emperor Gao Dedi knew about this matter was due to what his right-hand man Qi Qingchu told him.

Even Qi Qingchu himself weighed the pros and cons again and again, and finally made the decision.

Even when he heard that Li Jicai had disappeared, he couldn't help but be nervous for a while.

But this time, he could no longer ride a horse desperately to find her like he did in Jinzhou.

The consequences of acting recklessly are extremely bad for both Li Jicai and himself.

If you come forward to find Li Jicai by yourself, it will attract the attention of others, and it is better to push this matter to Emperor Gao De.

Originally, Emperor Gao De was extremely interested in Li Jicai, but now the person he wanted to see was gone.

It's good on a sunny day, and a big living person is gone when he says it's gone. If you ask, who is responsible?

In this way, there is a clear reason, and the people under him can really check Li Jicai's traces carefully, and they will not be as constrained as they are to deal with it themselves.

The matter about Li Jiye, after all, has passed. And throughout Li Jicai's life, she doesn't know Li Jiye's true identity.

That is, it can stand up to scrutiny.

In this way, he is not worried about what Emperor Gao Dedi will do to Li Jicai. If in the future, Li Jicai really entered the court, and he was capable enough to protect her, although he didn't know why she did it.

I've been involved, but I've been given a chance to leave, so why should I be involved again?

I couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

Right now, it's even more confusing. It's just good, why? Who will rob Li Jicai?

Or is it that this time it was Jiang Xihu and Li Jicai who discussed the plan and deliberately released fake news.

But there is no need to do this, once it is found out, they do it on purpose. Your Majesty will be angry.

Qi Qingchu didn't know about the abilities of Jiang Xihu's subordinates, but accordingly, he didn't think that a good person could disappear under the attention of so many people.

Is it hell or not?
