Chapter 198: Discovering Nie Zhixuan's whereabouts
The atmosphere in the back garden suddenly froze at the moment Jing Heng stepped in.
Looking at those men who were showing off their flowers, Jing Heng, who had previous experience in Quanzhou, instantly understood, and his face fell.
"What is the emperor doing?" The sharp and sour gaze instantly fell on Shi Yu.
Although Shi Yu didn't know about it at first, but now that he met Jing Heng's gaze, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Don't get me wrong, Governor, it's not what you think."
"Then the emperor might as well tell Weichen, what is it?"
Jing Heng walked in front of Shi Yu as he spoke, his eyes staring at her tightly, and his tone even revealed a little grievance.
Attaboy!
He was seriously preparing for their wedding, but Nie Shiyu actually met other men here, and it was a group!
Shi Yu was extremely helpless, and was thinking about how to appease the other party first, and then slowly explain, when Nie Qingsang spoke.
"Don't misunderstand the Imperial Brother!"
The eager words made the eyes of several people look at her at once.
"That Overseer, he, they have nothing to do with the Imperial Brother!" Nie Qingsang gritted his teeth and said stubbornly, "They are all male favorites that this princess is looking for, let the imperial brother come over today, just to let the imperial brother help the staff and staff, and see who is more suitable for this princess!" ”
Shi Yu: "......"
Nie Zhaoyi: "......"
Is...... Good sister, it's interesting!
"Really?" Jing Heng raised his eyebrows, half-convinced.
Nie Qingsang was completely relieved, nodded and said: "That's right, this princess is so rich, she really can't spend it on weekdays, so she wants to raise more male pets, this matter really has nothing to do with the imperial brother, Lord Jing must not misunderstand the imperial brother, let alone blame him!" ”
It's pitiful enough for the imperial brother to meet a negative man, anyway, no matter what, the imperial brother must not be targeted and punished by the Jing Governor because of this matter!
With a "bang", there was a sudden sound at the gate of the garden, and Nie Qingsang turned his head to look, only to find that Chu Ming was actually standing there at some point, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.
With a brush, Nie Qingsang's cheeks turned red like fire.
"You, did you hear everything?"
Chu Ming nodded, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and quickly shook his head, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't tell what kind of face he faced.
Finally, he picked up the saber, stepped forward in a bit of a trance, and bowed his hand.
"I've seen the emperor, the five princes, and the three princesses."
"Why is General Chu here?" Shi Yu opened his mouth to ask, and glanced at Jing Heng again as he spoke, "And the Overseer, aren't you in the palace?" ”
"Don't misunderstand, the emperor, Weichen is not following the emperor, but General Chu found out something about Nie Zhixuan's whereabouts, entered the palace to report, and the situation was urgent, so Weichen brought him to the Five Princes' Mansion." Jing Heng opened his mouth seriously.
Of course, he also wanted to find out why Nie Qingsang wanted Nie Shiyu to come to the Five Princes' Mansion alone, but it just happened that Chu Ming sent a justifiable reason!
"Then, why didn't the Overseer and Chu Ming come in together?" Nie Qingsang was embarrassed.
Even she couldn't tell why, when she thought that Chu Ming heard what she had just said, she was embarrassed.
However, the words had already been spoken, and Lord Jing was still here, so she naturally couldn't change her words now.
Chu Ming lowered his eyes and spoke: "At the gate of the mansion just now, the last general is a little slower. ”
Originally, he wanted to wait for the little servant to report back before coming in, but Lord Jing directly asked people to lead the way and say that he wanted to find the emperor. He hesitated, but although he followed, he also delayed for some time.
As a result, I didn't expect to hear what the third princess had just said as soon as I came over.
Chu Ming's face was crossed with loss, and he couldn't help but look at the nervous men not far away.
So, the third princess, does she like this genre?
Chu Ming lowered his head, caught a glimpse of his tanned complexion in the barracks, and frowned again.
Nie Qingsang didn't say anything more, and Shi Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Chu Ming, where did you find Nie Zhixuan's whereabouts?" ”
"Huh?" Chu Ming suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly clenched his fists and arched his hands, "Your Majesty, in a pastry shop on Qinglan Street in the west of the imperial city." ”
The pastry shop has been open for more than ten years, and there is a shopkeeper in the shop, plus two elderly guys, and it is in the downtown area, so it is not a good hiding place, so I didn't notice anything unusual when I searched it at the beginning.
But today someone reported that a suspicious person was suspected to have been found on Qinglan Street, and the location was near the pastry shop. When he went to check, he happened to hear a regular customer of the pastry shop mention that the old man in the shop seemed to look a little different from before.
He secretly observed, and sure enough, he found that something was wrong, although the shopkeeper looked normal, as long as there were no customers in the shop, he looked trembling, as if he was afraid.
"Your Majesty, the last general has sent someone to monitor the surroundings, and will never let people escape, but the last general is worried that the shopkeeper has been coerced, and if he does it rashly, I am afraid that innocent people will be implicated."
So he thought about reporting to the emperor and the overseer first, and see what the emperor and the superintendent wanted to deal with.
"Coercing the people, Nie Zhixuan's temperament really did it." Nie Zhaoyi snorted coldly, after all, he was also a previous opponent, and he had never had a good impression of Nie Zhixuan.
"Then we have to find a way to rescue the shopkeeper first." Nie Qingsang also spoke.
Half an hour later, Qinglan Street, Wangqing Pavilion Teahouse.
Shi Yu and Jing Heng stood by the window on the second floor, and at this angle they could see the pastry shop in the distance.
Behind him, Nie Qingsang and Nie Zhaoyi also followed.
"Did the pastry buyer send it?" Shi Yu turned his head to Chu Ming and asked.
"Back to the emperor, I have already sent it, and I will deliberately find fault and make trouble later, and after dragging the shopkeeper out, the soldiers in ambush will do it."
"Okay." Shi Yu nodded, retracted his gaze, and looked at the pastry shop again.
According to what Chu Ming said, that shop is indeed very likely to be Nie Zhixuan's hiding place.
However, Nie Zhixuan entered the imperial city years ago, and the Qinglan Street near Chinese New Year's Eve was too lively, and there must have been many customers in the pastry shop.
If it was hidden in this shop at that time, it would be too eye-catching, and if the owner of the pastry shop was really threatened, it would be difficult for him to be coerced for so long.
Therefore, Nie Zhixuan should not have been in this shop at the beginning, but now he is hiding here, is it because his previous residence is at risk of being exposed? Or is there something else?
Shi Yu suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and subconsciously looked at Jing Heng, who obviously also thought of this, and his face was not good-looking at Yu at the same time.
Without saying much, the two immediately understood each other, and Shi Yu hurriedly said to Chu Ming: "Tell the people in the shadows not to do anything, to prevent fraud!" ”
However, it was too late.
Just as Shi Yu was speaking, in the pastry shop, the shopkeeper was pulled out, and the soldiers in the shadows rushed in, followed by a huge explosion......
