CHAPTER XLVII

The coachman couldn't find the new lady's master and servant for a while, and he went back to report to Huang Wen when the curfew was almost over, at that time the Huaiyang Wang and his wife had already rested, and they reported to the inner courtyard before they mentioned the three words of Miss Ye, and before they finished speaking, they were blocked back by Mama Gao: "Your Royal Highness and the princess have already slept, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

Mama Gao was still competing for favor before Ye Zhiqing got married, and she didn't even open the door of the main courtyard: she is really a cheap hoof, she will get married the day after tomorrow, and she is impatient to call His Royal Highness away. [No pop-ups. 】

After nightfall, Huang Wen couldn't go into the inner courtyard to wait, and the people on duty at the second gate were all mothers-in-law, begging grandpa to tell grandma to let them go to pass the word, but the mother-in-law who guarded the door was scolded back by Mama Gao.

Huang Wen couldn't beat the driver to death with a whip.

"Didn't you say you'd wait with you? How did you follow people, and where did you lose them? ”

The coachman opened his mouth, but he couldn't tell the specific place where Ye Zhiqing's master and servant disappeared. It was dark when he was playing in the casino, and who knew where their master and servant had gone.

No matter how anxious Huang Wen is, he can't run to ask the king of Huaiyang for a token to go out of the house to find it, if he stays on the street without a legitimate reason after the curfew, he will not be able to take off his skin if he is caught by the patrol battalion.

It wasn't until the sky was bright and King Huaiyang woke up that he learned the news of Ye Zhiqing's disappearance, and he was immediately furious, first scolded Mama Gao, and then sent someone to look for it.

The princess was really angry when she saw that King Huaiyang was really angry, and when he brought someone to find him, she reproached Mama Gao: "Why don't you refuse to report in early?" ”

Mama Gao was also very aggrieved: "Where did the old slave think that she would get lost, and she thought she wanted to pour ** soup for His Royal Highness." ”

King Huaiyang has been soaking in the wine banquet for the past three days, and he was originally going to rest for a day today, and tomorrow the house will hold a banquet to invite guests to accept the new.

He rode a horse and urged the coachman to find someone, and when he arrived at the jewelry building, he asked where Ye Zhiqing's master and servant were lost yesterday, and the coachman didn't know it.

The king of Huaiyang was angry and directly asked the coachman to drag him back, and then he began to send people to look for him.

His thoughts were very different from the coachman's thoughts, and they all estimated that Ye Zhiqing might have been taken captive by those unclean places, so he broke into the patrol camp first, and a team of people from the patrol camp went to various brothels in Beijing to find people, but whenever they met a woman tied up and stuffed in the dark, they brought it over.

The bustards in the brothels in various brothels were shocked when they encountered a severe beating, and took the silver and stuffed it into the hands of the team leader, and asked the reason, but the team leader refused to confide in half a sentence, only scolded them: "One by one, they are about to fall into the eyes of money, and they refuse to let go of the money they have earned, which offends the nobles, so that you can know that you are powerful and do less immoral things." ”

In the past, these people forced good people to become prostitutes, and the patrol camps also turned a blind eye, and there was a dragon and a crouching tiger hidden in Beijing, who knows if there is any deep background behind these brothels. Being able to gain a foothold in Beijing and open a brothel is not something that just anyone can do.

It's just that no one knows the reputation of King Huaiyang, that is a bastard, even the saints tolerate him in every way, and dare to play scoundrels in front of the emperor, where do they dare to offend, I heard him say that there was a lost girl ring in the house, and they were muttering in their hearts, can the King of Huaiyang come to find it in person, will it be a girl ring?

Most of them are beautiful concubines, but the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, so naturally everyone can't know that King Huaiyang was cuckolded, so he had to pretend to lose the ring.

There was such a big commotion in the streets, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion were hurrying to find someone. When Zhou Hong was about to leave after breakfast, he felt strange: "What happened?" ”

None of the officers and soldiers in charge of the search were willing to tell the truth, and he didn't even know that Ye Zhiqing was lost.

Zhou Hao was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be invited to the wedding banquet by the King of Huaiyang, so he urged him to set off again and again: "This is the capital, what can happen?" ”

Zhou Hong really had the heart to leave, so he took four guards to leave Zhou Fu for the time being, and rode to Caoyun Wharf. When they came, they traveled by land, but when they returned, they were prepared to take the water.

There are ships going back and forth to Caoyun Wharf all the year round, this season is the season of summer rice harvest to and from Beijing, when the Caoyun boat has a serious draft, when leaving it is an empty boat to return south, they take the boat but it is more comfortable than riding a horse, and it is much faster.

Two days ago, Zhou Hao contacted a boat, the boss of the boat was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a purple face on the Cao River all the year round, after picking up Zhou Hong and his party on the boat, they were arranged to the best cabin, and a small boatman about fifteen or sixteen years old was specially sent at any time.

Before the boat started, the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion came on board to search, and asked if there was a girl on the boat, and the captain laughed with him: "The adults are laughing, the little ones only eat the bowl of rice of Caoyun, and they dare not touch other businesses." ”

In fact, Caoyun is not easy to do, these years to transport grain from the south to the north, all over the country have set up cards, and they have to meet the total
