Chapter 238: Where to Find?
Li Junche's heart sank, and he looked at the Praetorian Guards who came and went with a cold light, and the whole person was full of murderous aura.
I only feel that Wei Jingshu's disappearance is inseparable from these Praetorian Guards.
He clenched his fists and saw the scene in front of him for a while, and then he walked around the main gate of the Shizi Mansion in the direction of the side courtyard, and when he reached the west wall that had to climb with vines, he stopped.
After looking around, a piece of bluestone was pulled out from the west wall full of vines, and a half-man-wide stone door was opened, just enough to allow one person to enter sideways.
Li Junche flashed in, and Fu turned the bluestone back into place.
From afar, I saw that the main courtyard was brightly lit, and the sound of noise and murmuring was endless.
The small courtyard in the east courtyard was no longer as lively as it is today, Wang Yingzhi stood in the courtyard wearing a thin cloak, glaring at the menacing Praetorian Guards, his eyes were full of frost.
There was a mess inside and outside the house, and even the few pots of flowers and plants that Wang Yingzhi kept under the porch were broken, not to mention what the scene inside the house was.
The leader with two mustaches at the head looked at the person he brought, but he just smiled, and pretended to confess: "Princess, offended, we are also for the good of the ladies of each family, in the end, it is a flower thief, if there is a mistake, it is much more serious than damaging these things." ”
Wang Yingzhi hid her hands under the cloak and tightened her handkerchief, her eyes moved slightly, and she snorted coldly: "It's really hard to say whether it's a flower thief or a robber who entered the house." ”
Although she has not been in Beijing for a long time, there is still some time in the end, and there are no cases in Beijing in the past, even the Baiyun Nunnery is like that, for a flower thief to mobilize the whole Shizi Mansion to be lifted, she doesn't believe it.
She didn't ask about Wei Jingshu's disappearance, but she also knew a rough idea, and now these well-dressed bandit characters simply don't let go of the grass and trees in the Shizi Mansion, and she can't help but think deeply.
Seeing Wang Yingzhi's angry face, Fang Cai'er didn't care about her, so he only smiled frivolously: "Why should the little lady be angry, sooner or later, this Shizi's Mansion will have to be renovated, our brother is just doing it." ”
Wang Yingzhi was shocked, her face turned white, and she couldn't speak.
What is it called to have to be renovated sooner or later?
The man just said this with a smile, and then his expression was solemn: "Isn't there another princess in the prince's mansion?" Where did the other famous princess Wei Shi go? ”
"I don't know." Wang Yingzhi tightened the handkerchief in his hand more and more, so that there would be something he didn't understand, these individuals were clearly coming for Wei Jingshu.
It's just that she doesn't know, Wei Jingshu disappeared for two days, didn't it fall into the hands of these people, where did it go?
Thinking about it a thousand times, I thought that Wei Jingshu had escaped from these people? That's why these bandits are called to mobilize the people?
After a while, he thought about the matter, and he was anxious, but he was also afraid that Wei Jingshu would really fall into the hands of these people.
He didn't dare to show anything on his face, but his mouth was cold and ruthless: "It's best to die." ”
The head looked Wang Yingzhi up and down suspiciously, and finally smiled meaningfully, but he didn't doubt it.
It is said that one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Li Junche, the two wives of the same mansion, is afraid that there is no shortage of burning mountains and lighting fires on weekdays.
The man said: "If you see Concubine Wei, don't hide it, this world is very chaotic, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”
A group of people will be the entire prince of the mansion lifted, although there is no harvest at all, but still left someone to the main gate of the mansion side door, the side door are guarded, the name of the said: "The prince is not in the capital, we naturally have to protect the female dependents for him, if the flower thief wins, isn't it a sin." ”
Wang Yingzhi was so angry that she gritted her teeth but didn't dare to do anything to people, and she was afraid that these individuals would be staring in the dark, and she didn't even dare to go to Baoshanju.
It is said that the East Courtyard has been ruined, and Baoshanju is not much better.
Wei Jingshu had been missing for two days, and Sidong was very restless, and he was scared of those bandits who wore Praetorian Guard uniforms but didn't do good things, and several little girls were so close that they didn't even dare to cry.
Li Junche sneaked into the main house of Baoshan Residence without alarming anyone by the moonlight, facing the wreckage of the place, the same horizontal and vertical furniture, and there was also a chill in his eyes.
The Praetorian Guard is the direct army of the emperor of the dynasty, and now Emperor Jingde only has one breath left, and he has little time to be sober.
Li Junche glanced around the main hall, and then entered the inner room lightly, the tinkling bead curtain had already broken the thread, the light gauze tent was torn off and thrown to the ground at will, the floor-to-ceiling screen of the spring, summer, autumn and winter pictures fell to pieces, and clothes, shoes and socks were everywhere, and it seemed that it was really a bandit to loot it.
He stepped on the beads all over the ground and walked cautiously to the edge of the bed, bent down to grope on the feet of the couch, and soon heard a sound, seeing that no one was alarmed, so he got up and went to the bath room for washing, only to see a jade bathtub made in the past from the middle of a hole, the opening is not big, only to accommodate the figure of a person.
Li Junche took a fire fold and took a picture of it, frowning and even more anxious, the entire Baoshan Residence is this secret passage, if Wei Jingshu was not robbed, then he must have left from here.
If Wei Jingshu really robbed someone, I am afraid that this will definitely escape, so there will be such a big movement.
Now that the city gate is tightly guarded, and the city is full of Praetorian Guards, it is definitely impossible for Wei Jingshu to escape, but she will definitely not dare to come back with the appearance of the Shizi Mansion.
I don't know how much she has suffered in the past two days.
Li Junche walked into the secret passage and carefully handed the fire fold to the front to illuminate.
He dug several secret passages in his palace, all of which were connected, and went to all parts of the city, just in case.
A long time ago, he took Wei Jingshu over, and he also looked forward to the day when there was really no way out, so he relied on this secret passage to find a way to survive.
Only now this secret passage leads to everywhere, and it is difficult to find it for a while, so you have to look at them one by one.
It was already dark outside, Shi Houlin had already gone out with a stand-in, and although the maid in the prince's mansion was frightened, she also cheered up to clean up the mess.
Wang Yingzhi had a breakfast trip to Baoshanju, but he said a few words to Sidong, and there was nothing else.
And the fire fold in Li Junche's hand was faint, and he could barely see the way forward.
He searched for three secret passages in one go, but found a dead body at the entrance of the fourth secret passage.
The corpse was still wearing the uniform of the Praetorian Guard, but its body was already stiff, and there was a knife wound by a sharp weapon in the heart.
This secret passage is extremely secretive, and there are few craftsmen who participate in the reincarnation, and the rest have to be with Wei Jingshu and Zhao Yujiao, and even Xie Yuanan and Shi Houlin don't know the specifics, but when they saw a corpse this time, they must have followed Wei Jingshu in.
Not only did he know that Wei Jingshu had returned to this secret passage, but he couldn't see anyone, and he was afraid that something would go wrong.
Li Junche's pace quickened, and he quickly searched for all the secret passages, except for the corpses that had been dead for a long time, and he didn't find anything at all.
Although he was worried, he was still sensible in the end, and he didn't find anyone, Li Junche didn't delay, and hurriedly went out of the secret passage from the nearest exit, and went to find Xie Yuanan in disguise.
Xie Yuanan came back from outside under the scorching sun at the tenth day of the same month, and the two were sorting out the news in the study, and before their buttocks were hot, they heard that someone was looking for him.
He already knew about Li Junche's entry into the city yesterday, and there was a lot of chaos in the city at this time, who was still in the mood to visit the door, and as soon as the porter reported him, he knew that it must be Li Junche.
Li Junche was dressed in silk clothes, looking like a scholar with a tender face, his cheeks were crimson, his mouth was lip grease, and he was still smiling and graceful when he was greeted in.
As soon as he entered Xie Yuanan's study, his face suddenly changed.
Xie Yuanan knew that he was looking for people, and he was really afraid that he would move his private army, so he hurriedly told him the news he had inquired about: "In the former palace, there is indeed a young lady next to Queen Chen, but no one knows who it is. ”
"But yesterday at night, the holy dormitory was gone, and the lady never appeared again."
Xie Yuanan poured tea into his stomach, and said, "I'm afraid it's the princess." ”
Then he glanced at Li Junche again, and saw that his face was pale, and his expression was a little solemn: "This Praetorian Guard hasn't stopped yet, I think I haven't found anyone, but I don't know where she can hide." ”
Li Junche's heart went up and down, but he didn't show too much, he was silent for a while, and then he said in a low voice: "Out of the city." ”
In the name of catching flower thieves, the Praetorian Guards did not dare to seriously block the city gate to arrest people, after all, they had gone too far and made people suspicious.
He had already gone out of the city gate and turned around, only to see that the city gate was tightly guarded, but the people were still able to enter and exit normally, but they were asked to be more strict, especially women.
Although Wei Jingshu sometimes has a bad mind, she is not really stupid, Empress Chen is secretly not able to come to the light, she definitely can't hide in Kyoto, she must find an opportunity to go out of the city.
Xie Yuanan didn't know Wei Jingshu as well as Li Junche, and when he heard this, he asked: "In this case, if she has no one to pick up, what should she do?" ”
Li Junche didn't speak, as long as Wei Jingshu came up with it, she had her own ideas, just to see whether it was a good idea or a bad idea.
Since it was expected that she was out of the city, everyone did not waste time in the city, and hurriedly followed her disguise out of the city.
The city gate really checked the woman very strictly, and there were even two mothers-in-law there to investigate the female dependents, and the beginning was that the flower thief was very good at disguise, and he might disguise himself as a woman and go out.
For a flower thief to stir up the crowd like this, it has never happened in previous years, and some people discuss which prominent and noble girl was picked?
Li Junche and Xie Yuan'an, the first thirteen people had obvious male characteristics, and the soldiers guarding the gate only let go after a little look, and they left the city very smoothly.
But there is a three-way intersection when you go out of the city, a waterway to Tongzhou, a direct land route, and a small road.
Where do you have to find this?
