Chapter 257: Don't even think about running
As Mu Qingyan thought, things swept like lightning and thunderclouds.
A large number of officers and soldiers in the city kept pushing open other people's doors, and began to rummage through boxes and cabinets as soon as they were ordered to search, and immediately went to other places if they did not find anyone.
Everyone dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, mostly, swallowed their anger and thought they were unlucky and silently cleaned up, these people are all officers and soldiers, how can they resist.
Sure enough.
In the second half of the night, the gate of the Tsinghua Garden was also photographed, and Chen Yi took people to open the door, and in an instant, the torches flashed throughout the garden.
Mu Qingyan's eyesight was very good, and when she looked at the front gate of the front yard from a distance in front of the main courtyard, she knew that the pursuer was coming.
It's coming too fast!
"Miss, ...... in the front yard" Luan'er looked at it with some concern, and there seemed to be a lot of people in front of her.
Mu Qingyan's eyes were pale, and she glanced at Han Zhi, who was supported by Yan'er, and said, "Yan'er brought her into the house, and her safety will be handed over to you!"
"Okay!" Yan'er replied earnestly.
Although Yan'er has a somewhat jumpy temperament, she is strong in martial arts, and she has been strictly trained.
"Miss Han, please come with me!" Yan'er said to Han Zhi beside her.
Han Zhi looked at Mu Qingyan, there was still worry in his eyes, his steps were still a little hesitant, and he looked back at Mu Qingyan step by step.
How could Mu Qingyan not notice her worry and hesitation, raised her eyes to look at her, and said, "Don't worry about following Yan'er, it's safe here, if I'm not safe here, you won't be able to find a safe hiding place in Hangzhou." ”
Hearing this, although Han Zhi's expression was still uneasy, it was no longer as obvious as just now, and finally followed Yan'er to the house and disappeared from Mu Qingyan and Luan'er's sight.
"Miss, do you really believe what she said?" Luan Er always felt in her heart that this Han Zhi in front of her was hiding a lot of things, not that she just stole the weapon layout diagram as she said.
Mu Qingyan looked indifferent, and said lightly: "At this time, what is the difference between believing and not believing, what she says, whether it is true or false." I can't just sit idly by, let's go, let's go to the front yard and have a look. I guess, it's about the same!"
"Yes!" Luan Er replied, and immediately followed closely.
In a moment.
Mu Qingyan had already appeared in the front yard, and saw the money at the gate outside the patio, and Chen Yi led a group of guards to confront the people outside the door.
As I got closer, the situation became worse and worse.
Seeing such a situation, Luan'er secretly said in her heart that it was fortunate that Miss Yan'er asked Yan'er to protect Han Zhi in the house, otherwise, if something happened, then it would be absolutely impossible for Han Zhi to get out easily.
"Mistress!" Chen Yi saw Mu Qingyan appear, slowly retreated to the side, bowed down and shouted.
Mu Qingyan walked forward, bowed slightly, and then, looking at the menacing officers and soldiers outside the door, her eyes were pale.
"What are they going to do?" he glanced at all the officers and soldiers outside lightly and asked coldly.
Chen Yi bowed and replied: "If you want to search the other garden, they said that they wanted to search the other garden, but they couldn't say why they wanted to search. The subordinates naturally refused, and they still refused to forgive. ”
The officers and soldiers were holding a burning torch in their hands, and the person standing at the moment was the county official who had been beaten by Mu Qingyan.
"I can't find it all over the world, and it doesn't take any effort to get it, it's you, and the official suspects that you are harboring a felony here to search. When the fire shone on Mu Qingyan's face, the county magistrate finally saw the person in front of him clearly.
There was a burst of ruthlessness in his eyes, this time he must be ashamed, he brought so many people here, and there are definitely not enough people in the Tsinghua Garden......
"This is where you can trespass?"
Chen Yi heard that the county official was rude to Mu Qingyan, and said coldly: "As a county official, don't you know that no one is allowed to trespass here, this is a private garden that has long been forbidden in Hangzhou, and all officials and nobles are not allowed to trespass." ”
When the county official heard this, his face changed, his cloudy eyes turned, and then he said: "This official is a special case, and this official wants to arrest the court repeat offenders, and no place will be spared." ”
As he spoke, he made a very domineering gesture to the officers and soldiers behind him to step forward and attack.
In the blink of an eye, the crowd rushed forward.
The people around Mu Qingyan stepped forward one after another to block their attack, and because of this, the officers and soldiers had to stop advancing.
Chen Yi and those guards looked like they were definitely not easy people to defeat, and their evil aura was even more obvious at the moment.
Mu Qingyan stood in place and made up her mind that she would not let them in, her expression was cold and she was not afraid at all.
Seeing this, the county magistrate was furious and asked in a loud voice: "You dare to obstruct this official's work, come here, and take everyone here down." ”
"I'll see who dares!" Chen Yi's voice fell, and all the swords in the hands of the guards around him were already unsheathed.
"A small county official, who gave you the courage to come here to spread wild? Even if you are the lord of the city, you can't come to this palace at will, you say, who let you come?"
Suddenly, a person walked out through the crowd, walked in front of the county magistrate, and said politely: "You have misunderstood, we were ordered by the city lord to arrest the important criminals in the whole city, and we were really afraid that the criminals would hurt innocent people, so we had to come to you to search." For the safety of the people, you will approve of such a thing to eliminate harm for the people. ”
"It's a good thing to catch a felon, but it's not a good thing to disturb the people. Besides, you said that the city lord asked you to search for the whole city, then, what evidence do you have to say that the city lord asked you to do it?" Chen didn't let it go at all, didn't look at the politeness of the smiling man at all, and coldly refused.
The person in front of the county magistrate, hearing this, his eyes turned cold, the smile on his face still rose, and said: "Since we are not allowed to go in to search, then I don't know, have you ever seen any suspicious people wandering around or sneaking into the garden?"
"No!" Chen Yi coldly refused.
The county magistrate is a person with eyes on his forehead, but he is not as polite as the person in front of him, he looked at the guard in front of him with his nostrils, and said: "What are you doing with so much nonsense with them, just let people attack it." Zhao Yong, you are so pedantic, how do you become the entourage of Second Young Master Lin?"
Zhao Yong looked at Li Lu, a trace of disgust flashed under his eyes, and said, "Li Lu, take care of your mouth, we are all people who do things for Second Young Master Lin." Now, it's about how to catch the culprit when doing it, not in the infighting. ”
"What a big battle! What kind of felons escaped, and even let you stay up all night searching the whole city, and don't let go anywhere?" Mu Qingyan's expression was faint, but the corners of her mouth raised a touch of mockery.
still dare to use Han Shilin's name to be a demon, these people are really bold.
When Zhao Yong heard this, he was not annoyed, and said in a moderate manner: "We are all acting on orders, and please have a convenient personality." ”
This Tsinghua Palace is a very mysterious existence in Hangzhou City, and now, when I see these people in front of me with extraordinary temperament, I know at a glance that they are not ordinary people.
If at this time, no one like Li Lu blindly wants to use the crowd to oppress the other party, it is absolutely impossible, maybe there will be the opposite effect, besides, the number of people may not be able to win.
Looking at the guards in front of you, although there are not many, they are few and fine, and the momentum is even more daunting, these people are definitely not as simple as ordinary guards.
Perhaps, if he really fights, these people will be a master of fighting against a hundred, because he feels the qi on them......
"What if I can't do this?" Mu Qingyan said lightly, her eyes swept over the people under the door without emotion, and she was extremely cold.
Zhao Yong was choked by Mu Qingyan's words, and his face was not good-looking at the beginning.
He is the most proud staff member by Lin Hao's side, and he has always been respected, when has he been treated so rudely.
Originally, he still wanted to play a round, but he really didn't expect that the hostess of this annex would be so inadequate.
"Then, I can't do anything about it, what is this Lord Li going to do, I really have no right to interfere. ”
Mu Qingyan glanced at him, her expression was still so indifferent, her eyes were even colder, but there was a little smile on her eyebrows, and she said lightly: "That is, you still have to search in my garden!"
"Of course, you have to search, do you have a ghost in your heart to resist like this? So, don't you dare to let this palace go to search?" Li Lu shouted, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers: "Kill this officer, if there is resistance, kill on the spot!"
"Qiang Qiang ......"
Those officers and soldiers listened to the order, skillfully carried their knives and rushed forward, but the moment they rushed in, they were beaten by the guards led by Chen Yi.
None of the officers and soldiers called by Li Lu were able to step into the door of the Tsinghua Annex.
"Kill one on the spot!" Mu Qingyan's hand instantly had an extra dagger, glowing with a white cold light in the dark night.
These people in front of them, where are they still soldiers, they are simply bandits in official uniforms, who regard human life as a mustard, and are simply a group of robbers.
Jumping forward, under the cover of Luan'er, he instantly jumped to the side of the county official Li Lu, and the sharp dagger also pressed against his neck.
"I like to kill people so much, I'll fulfill you now and make you a ghost!"
Li Lu was hit by the sharp dagger, in an instant, against his neck, trembling with fright, and said tremblingly: "Small, be careful of the knife, the sword has no eyes, I, I am acting on orders, if you don't allow us to enter, we won't go in......"
Mu Qingyan listened to Li Lu's words, her eyes were full of disgust, and the dagger in her hand did not leave in the slightest.
On the contrary, it was the dagger that was too sharp, and it had already cut Li Lu's neck, and blood had slowly flowed out of the wound.
Zhao Yong looked at Mu Qingyan's indifferent expression, and then looked at the dagger in her hand, and couldn't help but feel a burst of horror in his heart, and said, "You, you are ...... Grass people, damn it, offended the four princesses!"
In the capital, who doesn't know that the fourth prince married Mu Qingyan, and the favored ones are going to heaven.
And, as Lin Hao's staff, he naturally heard that Lin Tingsheng's injury was caused by Mu Qingyan and was still crippled, but he could only eat Coptis dumbly, and he didn't dare to ask the fourth prince to let Mu Qingyan pay for his life.
The dagger that hurt Lin Tingsheng was the same as the dagger used by the beautiful woman in front of him, and Lin Tingsheng described the appearance of the dagger.
He is a staff member to know......
"She, how could she be the fourth princess?" Li Lu's eyes widened in surprise, and his face turned pale.
I'm going to die now!
"How could it be!" Luan'er knocked several officers and soldiers around him to the ground, and after wailing in pain, he stepped forward and glanced at them.
Mu Qingyan looked at the two people who were still invincible just now, and in an instant, they turned into rat-like appearances, and their eyes were full of mockery.
"You say, what will happen if this matter reaches the ears of the four princes?"
Zhao Yong's heart sank, and Li Lu's face turned from pale to gray.
If it really reaches the ears of the four princes, they will definitely not end well.
"Four...... Princess. Zhao Yong looked at Mu Qingyan with a complicated mood and said, "I am ignorant, and I ask the fourth princess to forgive us." As he spoke, he fell to his knees.
Many officers and soldiers stared at Zhao Yong and Li Lu, and their hearts were also scared, and they were also timid when they saw Zhao Yong so scared.
Although they had never seen the four princesses, the names of the four princes were enough to make them all tremble.
I don't know why, the four princesses are here, and I didn't expect that this Tsinghua Palace is the property of the four princes, so I can explain why the Tsinghua Palace is a forbidden place in Hangzhou City, and no one can come here to disturb.
Mu Qingyan slowly swept over everyone, her faint gaze was like a laser light, and the group of bandit and bully-like officers and soldiers in front of her were so weak that they fell to their knees and knelt on their backs, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"The four princesses spare their lives, and the four princes spare their lives......"
When those officers and soldiers heard the name of the fourth prince, where did they still have the courage to break into the gate of the Qinghua Pavilion again, they begged for mercy for fear that Mu Qingyan would remember them and let the fourth prince clean them up.
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan smiled and said coldly: "I want to know what crime the prisoner you want to arrest has committed? If not, hum ......"
The two snorts behind made all of them even more frightened.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan, I don't know what the felons stole from, Xiaguan just obeyed the will of Second Young Master Lin to arrest people, arrest the felons and go back to the errand, if you can't catch it, the head on your neck will be lost!" Li Lu betrayed Lin Hao without hesitation at this moment.
When Zhao Yong heard this, he glanced at Li Lu fiercely, full of disdain, and scolded in his heart: Li Lu is a villain!
"Fourth princess, you listen to me and say that things are not what he said......" Zhao Yong was about to explain when he was interrupted by Luan'er.
"Shut up! The princess didn't want to ask you, she wanted to talk, and there was more time for a while. The sword in Luan'er's hand pointed at Zhao Yong's face without hesitation, and said coldly.
"So, you can ignore it, rummaging through the whole city, and have no fear?" Mu Qingyan's voice was cold, her eyes were cold, and she asked, "Who gave Lin Hao this power?"
A second ancestor who doesn't even have an official position can mobilize the officers and soldiers of a city, and the cattiness of this is really not a little bit of a star.
"Then it was said that the city lord ordered you to come just now, and it was also a lie to me!" Mu Qingyan asked, her expression cold.
Li Lu tensed his body and said resignedly: "Fourth princess, spare your life, this, this is also a last resort, the city lord has ignored the official affairs in the city for a long time." The lower officials had no choice but to obey the words of Second Young Master Lin, and besides, Lin Xiangguo's official position was even greater than that of the city lord, so the lower officials didn't dare to disobey!"
Hearing this, Mu Qingyan smiled coldly, but there was no smile in her eyes, and said, "In this way, you are also forced to bully others?"
"The princess is wise, wise!" Li Lu hurriedly said, if it weren't for the dagger in Mu Qingyan's hand against his neck, at this moment, he would definitely kneel down and beg for mercy.
It seems that Han Shilin is under house arrest, but when Han Zhi said that he was killed, could he be wrong because he was too nervous to flee?
Lin Hao was so nervous about what she was doing, even if she wanted to kill Han Shilin, she wouldn't kill it easily, Lin Hao was not a fool, he would definitely know that keeping Han Shilin would lead Han Zhi out.
"Such a big city of Hangzhou, you really dare to search, and Lin Hao also dares to break into this place is the courage of Lin Hao to give you? Mu Qingyan said coldly.
Zhao Yong listened to Mu Qingyan's words, and lowered his head even lower, Li Lu is really a seller for glory!
couldn't help but think secretly, and said: "Back to the princess, this matter is probably a misunderstanding, we will immediately retreat, and promise that we will never dare to bother again!"
At this time, if Mu Qingyan went to the City Lord's Mansion, then Lin Hao would not have spared their lives!
When the words fell, the audience was silent, and everyone lowered their heads and waited for Mu Qingyan's pardon.
After a while, Mu Qingyan sneered and said with a smile: "You have forgotten what this princess said! If you want to leave, let the city lord personally explain the reason, and you can go, it doesn't make sense, this princess still has the power to execute a group of bold traitors." ”
"This ...... This ......" Zhao Yong listened, and could only keep sweating and said nervously.
"What's the matter? The city lord doesn't care about affairs, is it that he doesn't care about such a big thing?" Mu Qingyan asked mockingly: "Or is there a princess among them who doesn't know how to be tired?"
Zhao Yong replied in a tight voice: "The grass people don't know, and they ask the princess to atone for their sins, the princess is afraid that she doesn't know, this city lord has been closed for a long time!"
"Really?" Mu Qingyan looked at Chen Yi on the side and asked with a frown.
Chen Yi's expression was also solemn, and then, he nodded, and said, "The city lord has been announcing it since a few months ago, and he is sick and ignores the affairs of the city. ”
The voice was not loud, and it just reached Mu Qingyan's ears.
Mu Qingyan's face turned cloudy in vain, and the dagger in her hand was closer to Li Lu's neck, only to see that the flesh and skin had already opened a big opening, as if she was ready to kill Li Lu at any time.
"Don't you have to deal with the affairs in the city? Who is the one who has presented the folds of the capital these days?"
These questions were naturally asked by Li Lu and Zhao Yong.
Li Lu and Zhao Yong, who were named and questioned, looked a little evasive, but they didn't dare to look at Mu Qingyan.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyan said coldly: "Very good, you are not afraid of death, this princess has seen it today." dared to conceal such a serious matter in Hangzhou, did not report it, and deceived and oppressed the people in the name of Han Shilin. This pile of sins, when counted, is enough to make your head fall to the ground a hundred times. ”
When Li Lu heard this, his face was like a dead man, and he knew that it was only a matter of a moment for the fourth princess to kill him.
"Tick Tick ......"
In the originally silent atmosphere, such a discordant sound appeared, which instantly attracted everyone's attention.
I saw that there was a puddle of water on the ground, and there were signs of flooding.
What followed was a foul smell, and Mu Qingyan jumped away before the water that continued to flood reached her shoes.
looked at Li Lu, who was frightened to pee, in disgust, and thought that his beloved dagger was against the neck of such a wretched person just now, he couldn't help but feel nauseous, and immediately took out a white handkerchief and wiped the dagger and threw it away.
And, Li Lu, at this time, the crotch and lower body were already soaked, and they were still dripping, no, it was dripping urine!
Zhao Yong looked at it with a burst of disdain in his eyes, Li Lu is a person, he has not been used to seeing it since he came to Lin Hao's side, but he is just a county official position bought by flattery and silver, and fundamentally he is a ruffian and hooligan who can only slap his beard.
Mu Qingyan looked at Li Lu, who was paralyzed on the ground, let out a cold voice, and said, "Since, you first said that the city lord asked you to search it, and then said that Second Young Master Lin Hao asked you to do it." Empty words, that's not okay, this princess is the most just and doesn't want to wronged people, you guys here take someone to invite these two to deal with the symptoms, see who gave the order to disturb the people, and this princess will use that person to punish the crime!"
Zhao Yong's expression turned from blue to white in an instant, and from white to gray, as if he was about to be arrested and executed.
Han Shilin was imprisoned by Lin Hao's people, and as Lin Hao's staff, he knew it, however, Han Shilin couldn't appear at all now......
The person they came out to arrest was Han Shilin's daughter Han Zhi, but they didn't expect to meet the appearance of the fourth princess.
The name of the fourth princess, Mu Qingyan, is well-known in the capital, and when she is in a hurry, she really dares to kill everyone here, after all, they are the first to offend, even if the matter gets into trouble in the capital, no one will dare to say anything wrong.
Besides, now, Mu Qingyan asked them to find Han Shilin and Lin Hao, so the matter was not going to be poked out in public, which was tantamount to breaking the prince of Hangzhou City.
Lin Hao, the second young master of Lin, still wanted to do a good job from here, so that Lin Xiangguo would be impressed......
"Princess, the city lord of Han is seriously ill and can't get out of bed, do you think you should wait for the city lord to get better and then come to ask you for guilt......" Zhao Yong made up his mind to delay the tactic, as long as it can't be delayed, everything will be fine.
The fourth princess Mu Qingyan appeared here, it seems that she is just a vacation and recuperation, and she will return to the capital soon, as long as she leaves Hangzhou City, there will be nothing to do.
The more Mu Qingyan heard him say this, the more she wanted to see Han Shilin and Lin Hao, and said coldly: "You go and find Lin Hao and Han Shilin, if you can't come back within an hour, this princess will punish you of the nine clans!"
An officer and soldier who was randomly pointed at was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Villain, let's go, let's go......"
As he spoke, he ran in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Chen Yi, take care of them, no one can get up if no one arrives!" Mu Qingyan walked to the gate and sat down on the chair that was brought out.
"Yes, Mistress!" Chen Yi gestured to the guards beside him, and all of them immediately closed the gap where they could escape.
