Chapter 487: Catch them all
The servants and guards who went out to look for them came back one after another, and Puxiang summarized the information and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report: "Ah Lang, the inns in Dongcheng have been inquired, and there is no record of the four ladies staying overnight. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info better, please send someone to help inquire? ”
They have asked all the inns in Dongcheng, there is the waist card of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and the guys at the inn are very cooperative, but seeing that the sky is about to dawn, the bride still has no news, he is very anxious, and he wants to think about it, so he can only let the official dispatch.
After looking for such a scene in the capital, the news of the loss of a handsome little lady in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion is no longer contained, but the identity of this little lady is doubtful.
Cheng Mo saw that he was tired, and said: "You have worked hard, go to the account to pay some silver, everyone eat some supper, and then go to the city gate to guard, make sure that she is not out of the city, I will let Master Wu come forward." ”
Puxiang responded and went to arrange it.
The road was pitch black, and the light of the lantern in front of the house seemed to be engulfed in darkness, emitting a bleak halo that illuminated the ground less than two feet away. At this time, it is the darkest time before dawn.
The old housekeeper was old, and insisted on looking for it in person, and he ran down in the middle of the night, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his legs.
There is a servant who arrived first, Ah Shame, is knocking on the door, and the big guys are all out, how dare the door sleep? They were all waiting in the gatehouse, and when they heard someone knocking on the door, they immediately ran out and opened the door.
When Ah Cheng entered the door, he glanced back, and just saw a figure faintly under the halo of the lantern, and when he walked out, he said, "Old butler, what's wrong with you?" ”
The old butler's thin and tall body was shaky, and he gasped, "Help me in." ”
Someone came from behind, and Ah Cheng helped the old housekeeper in.
Yusheng did not go out to look for it with the servants in the house, but kept guarding the corridor of the study, adding tea and snacks at the right time, and was very obedient. At this time, seeing the old housekeeper being helped in, he was shriveled, and hurriedly asked Ah Zhi to help him go back to the room to rest, and then summarize the news one by one.
"Uncle, I didn't find the girl." When he reported to Cheng Moyu, his eyes were red. Now that Ah Lang is sick, but the only girl has run away from home, how can this be good?
Cheng Mo said: "You go to rest, except for the old housekeeper, the rest of the people will go to the city gate at noon to replace the people in my house, and stay until the city gate is closed and return to the house." ”
It's hard to guarantee that there are no city gate guards who know Su Miaohua, if they draw shadows and graphics for them to watch, it is better to guard them by the people in their own house, unless they have to, they can't make a big splash.
Cheng Mo didn't think his face was so important, he never cared much about what others said or said, he only cared about what he wanted and what he should do. But he can't care less about Su Zhi's face, Su Zhi is cautious, clean, and a person who loves face very much, and suddenly it was rumored that his daughter left her husband's house the day after she got married, and I don't know what ugly words will come out. What's more, this grand wedding, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military nobles and ministers all participated, and the people in the capital also talked about it, and suddenly such a thing happened, it would definitely become someone else's after-dinner conversation, and there was no benefit to him and Su Zhi.
Yusheng answered, went out to order, and the servants walked on two legs for half the night, and they were indeed tired, so they dispersed.
At this time, Zeng Qiang had run out of needles, packed up the medicine box, and got up to say goodbye.
Cheng Mo said: "It's not early or late at this time, it is better for Imperial Doctor Zeng to rest in the mansion and go back after dawn." ”
Zeng Qiang's family did not follow him into Beijing, and he lived in the General's Mansion for a long time, and as a guest, he returned in the middle of the night, which was not good. Zeng Qiang naturally understood what Cheng Mo meant, and said, "Thank you Cheng Weiwei." ”
Cheng Mo arranged for him to rest in the ear room in the courtyard of the study, and if anything happened, he could be with him.
He went to see Su Zhi. Su Zhi closed his eyes slightly, saw him coming, opened a pair of cloudy eyes, and looked at him.
Cheng Hei said: "I haven't found it yet." Father-in-law, don't worry, I have a way to find it. ”
How can Su Zhi not be worried? As long as Su Miaohua goes out of the city gate, the world is so big, where can she not go, and where can she find her? He didn't know that Su Miaohua was in Wu Quan's yamen at this time.
The diners scattered and fled, among which there were inevitably enthusiastic people, and after arriving on the street, they thought that they had to report their lives to the officials anyway, so they rushed to Jingzhao Mansion.
As soon as Wu Quan heard about his life, he immediately summoned the third class of officials and hurried over. At this time, Taibaiju was in ruins, most of the tables and chairs were made of wood, Scarface and his group of four or five people were injured, and the rest of the people were fiercely besieging Su Miaohua.
Su Miaohua didn't take advantage of the weapon, otherwise he would have beaten Scarface and his gang earlier. The two sides fought fiercely, and it was inevitable that there would be accidental injuries, and the unlucky Qiu shopkeeper was injured a second time and had been knocked unconscious, and the guys who could get out of the door escaped as long as they could, and only those who waited on the second floor were blocked from the road, so they could only shrink upstairs and tremble.
Just when the guys upstairs were living like a year, Wu Quan rushed in with three classes of officials like gods. Wu Quan shouted violently surrounded by the officials: "Put down your weapons to the officials, and the violators will be killed by the knife." ”
Su Miaohua fought bravely for more than a dozen people for half an hour, and only Scarface was left with a total of three people who did not fall down, but she was Miss Jiao, she had never exerted so much strength, she was so tired that she was panting, and her forehead was sweating densely.
Scarface was hit by several stools on her body, but the more she fought, the more courageous she became, gritting her teeth to vent with Su Miaohua, seeing that the strength in her hands was getting smaller and smaller, and she would definitely be able to take her down if she fought for a while.
"Who's going to report to the official?" He roared.
The two companions who were still standing were holding on to the wall and panting, and eight or nine brothers were lying on the ground, and no one answered him.
He yelled again.
If he didn't roar repeatedly, Wu Quan wouldn't have noticed him all of a sudden, seeing him on the ground with a stick, menacing, like the leader of this gang, who would he catch if he didn't catch him? So he pointed with his hand and shouted, "Take it!" ”
The four officers walked forward, two in front and two behind, holding water and fire sticks.
Scarface is a scoundrel, how dare he confront the official? He threw away the stick in his hand and grabbed it. The accomplices on the ground were also skillfully locked up by the servants and dragged out like dead dogs.
Ma Laosi was hit by a stool on his shoulder, the pain penetrated into the bone marrow, and he simply fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, and was also locked and dragged out at this time.
Su Miaohua has been fighting for so long, her hat has fallen off, revealing her waterfall-like hair, how can the officials not see that she is a woman? She was not as vicious as Scarface, and she did not chain her as soon as she came up, and at this time she wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the servants to escape with light skills, but she did not do this, but when the two officers came, she said, "No lock, I will go with you." ”
