Chapter 221: Nowhere to Hide

Here Nie Ruyi was thinking about how to deal with it, and Si Jingmo over there stepped up his time to investigate, and every order he issued was basically an urgent order.

He also knew in his heart that the prince of Western Chu was coming.

So the survey is just one word, fast!

It has to be fast!

He has been staying in the household department, and he is very busy.

Because of his presence, all the officials of the Tobu Department became very active and did not dare to take a break halfway.

The order was issued from the household department all the way to the local yamen, and then to the village.

The village officials of each village strictly count the number of people in each village and the information of the villagers...... Wait, after the statistics are good, report them layer by layer.

The four city gates in the southeast, northwest, and northwest gathered a lot of people who wanted to go out of the city, resulting in congestion at the city gates.

This phenomenon was reported to Si Jingmo.

Si Jingmo immediately sent more officials to the city gate, asked people to set up a long table, prepare paper and pencils, register the information of everyone who wanted to leave the city, and then verify the identity as quickly as possible.

There are many public officials, and the speed of identity verification is fast, which alleviates the congestion at the city gate to the greatest extent.

In this way, it did not cause too much inconvenience to the people, but only a little troublesome.

It had only been two hours since the household department had issued an order to the lower levels, and by noon, some small areas had already reported the situation after the inspection.

Si Jingmo was very busy and had no time to go to the Huo family.

Huo Yubai stayed up all night and slept deeply, and didn't wake up until noon.

Although Si Jingmo didn't come, he explained that the night soul and the shadow had come and reported what he was busy with one by one.

Huo Yubai only felt funny, and always felt that his man was too honest and took the initiative to explain his whereabouts.

Si Jingmo was busy, Huo Lifeng was not idle, he was a general, he had military power in his hands, although he could not arbitrarily mobilize a large number of troops, but without arousing the emperor's suspicion, it was still very casual to transfer thousands of people.

Si Jingmo sent people to check the accounts, so he sent troops to station everywhere, and then assigned several pairs of men and horses to patrol the whole city.

If you find a suspicious person, report it immediately.

Not only that, but checkpoints have also been set up in many streets to check the registration cards of people coming and going.

For a while, the atmosphere in the entire Shengjing City became particularly tense.

The killers of Tiansha Pavilion didn't dare to go out on the street in a grand manner, they were all worried that one would be targeted by Huo Lifeng's subordinates if they were not careful.

Nie Ruyi had already thought of a countermeasure, and asked Chasing Wind to arrange the killer of Tiansha Pavilion to arrange someone to hide first.

She didn't feel at ease when she hid elsewhere, thinking that the most dangerous place was the safest place, and in the end, she let Chasing Wind sneak people into the Nie family's courtyard.

Worried that Nie Jun would object, she didn't tell Nie Jun the truth.

Make arrangements, in the afternoon, Nie Ruyi arranged for people to go out of the city.

She herself would not dare to go out of the city.

As soon as she left the city, Si Jingmo would definitely know that she still had injuries on her body, and she was worried about being assassinated again.

The subordinates of the Nie family went out of the city, and after verifying their identities, the city defenders let them go.

Although he was released, his whereabouts have always been controlled by Si Jingmo, and it is not so easy to do something.

Nie Ruyi's biggest worry is that her people will be targeted.

When her people went out of town, and two hours had passed, and no pigeons had come back, she knew that something was wrong.

Nie Ruyi realized for the first time the power of the government, and as soon as Si Jingmo made a move, she was restrained everywhere.

When I go out, I am afraid of being assassinated, and I don't go out, worrying that the people under my hands will not be able to handle things well.

A day passed, and Nie Ruyi was also anxious for a day.

The next day, the situation was more severe than before, because Si Jingmo not only asked people to search private houses, but also noble mansions and other courtyards.

And it's not an investigation in order, it's a spot check, a raid.

Except for a few major palaces, other mansions, as long as the people from the household department arrive, all must cooperate with the investigation.

Everyone in the house must be called to the courtyard, and all the identities must be verified from top to bottom.

Not only that, but also brought a female officer.

The female officer searched the back house where the female dependents lived.

All the places where the men lived, were searched by the guards, and if they found unidentified persons, they were taken away.

This behavior has aroused the dissatisfaction of many officials, but thinking of the assassination of His Royal Highness King Jing's Mansion and the impunity of the killer, even if the minister has an opinion, he does not dare to say it.

Si Jingmo even investigated the minister's mansion, Nie Ruyi was really anxious, worried that if he was not careful, Si Jingmo's people would find out about the Nie family's courtyard.

She herself was worried about being implicated, so she just hid people in the other courtyard the day before, and the day after that, she asked the chasing to sneak into the other courtyard, so that those people could scatter and find a place to go.

The Nie family has always been stared at by Si Jingmo, and Nie Ruyi knows this, so when she asked her to do something unsightly, she also repeatedly told her that she must be careful and careful.

It must be confirmed that no one is being followed.

Every time I go out, I will turn left and right, then enter many ready-to-wear shops, change a few more outfits, enter noisy wine shops, crowded alleys, and toss several times until I make sure that no one is following me, and then I go to business.

Arranging for sixty people to enter the Nie family's courtyard was a difficult process, and arranging for people to leave was also troublesome.

After all, the Nie family's courtyard suddenly walked out of one tall man after another, and the goal was too big.

During the day, only a few people were arranged to leave pretending to be small shoppers.

The rest of the people waited until the evening to make arrangements.

At night, the chaser arranged for someone to leave.

After arranging everyone, it is already dawn, and the Nie family will return to Nie Ruyi.

Nie Ruyi just breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly received news that General Huo's subordinates had caught three suspicious people.

Under questioning, the other party did not have a registration card, and when he was about to let someone take the other party back to the palace, the other party resisted, and there was a fight between the two sides.

Those three were strong in martial arts, wounded many soldiers, and were finally captured and put in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Because of the other party's various behaviors, there is a considerable suspicion that he is the murderer of His Royal Highness King Jing's Mansion, and the result can only be known after interrogation.

As soon as Nie Ruyi received the news and knew that three people had been arrested, he immediately panicked.

Let the chase determine whether it is his own people, but the sixty people are scattered, and they can't get in touch with everyone for a while, so they can't confirm it at all.

There is nothing to do but wait.

The prison of the Criminal Department.

The three people were tied to a stake, had been tortured, and had many wounds on their bodies, but unfortunately, they were all hard bones, and they never said a word.

Si Jingmo personally went to prison.

Huo Lifeng was also there, and it was a complete coincidence that his people were able to catch these three people.

The three men passed through the checkpoint he had set up, and as soon as they saw officers and soldiers, they turned around and prepared to leave.

His people stopped them in time and asked if they had a registration card, and the three said they had forgotten to bring it.

His people said to take them into the government, and the three of them turned around and ran, and began to resist after the interception, and then there were all kinds of things that followed.

"Did you find something iconic in them?" Si Jingmo asked in a deep voice.
