Soon, the city gates were sealed.

All four city gates leading to the imperial city were sealed off.

Upon learning of this news, Bai Qi rushed to the palace.

The Imperial Study Room.

Jiang Tian gave a few instructions to the palace maid.

The palace maids quickly turned and left.

One night.

Two palace maids and two wet nurses were killed in succession.

Fengfeng and Yueyue have gone missing.

This was absolutely the death knell for Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian sat there and suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

Shen Lian and Bai Qi knelt down with a thud.

"One of you will be in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the other will be in charge of the Black Ice Guard."

"Both of you are specifically in charge of intelligence work."

"As a result, someone broke into the palace, killed the palace maids and wet nurses, and took away both of my children."

"You two bastards, what have you been doing all this time?"

Before Jiang Tian could finish speaking, he kicked the two men in the chest.

Two thump-thump sounds.

Bai Qi and Shen Lian were kicked to the ground.

The two of them quickly got up and knelt respectfully before Jiang Tian, ​​their bodies ramrod straight.

"I don't care what methods you two use, you must find a way to save my two children."

“If either of my children loses a finger or a hair, I will have your entire family executed by slow slicing.”

"promise……"

"You have one day to find my son and daughter."

"promise……"

"Hurry up and go..."

promise……

Bai Qi and Shen Lian quickly got up and dusted off their knees.

"My lord," Shen Lian stepped forward, "I need to have a serious talk with Lord Ling, the commander of the Imperial Guards."

"What you do next is your business. Tonight I want to see my son and daughter."

"yes……"

...

Ling Yunxiao was extremely busy.

The man looked haggard. He knew that if he didn't find the two treasures, he wouldn't survive even if Jiang Tian didn't chop off his head.

Bai Qi led the people from the Black Platform to search the entire city.

Shen Lian glanced at Ling Yunxiao: "From last night until now, who has left the city?"

“This… no one left the palace last night.”

"How many people left the palace this morning?"

"This... I don't know either, Lord Shen."

"Then bring me all the people who know the truth about this matter. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, everyone involved will be executed along with their entire family, and subjected to slow slicing."

Ling Yunxiao quickly summoned dozens of Imperial Guards.

"You people are the guards of the Meridian Gate."

"You all need to tell me honestly how many palace maids and eunuchs left the palace this morning."

To Lin Yunxiao and Shen Lian's surprise, everyone shook their heads.

Shen Lian drew his embroidered spring knife from his waist with a whoosh: "What do you mean by shaking your heads? You still dare to fool me like this? Tell me the truth."

“His Majesty and the Lord’s child are lost. You bastards should know what the consequences will be.”

These dozens of imperial guards knelt down with a thud.

"Please calm down, Your Excellencies." Zhu Guozhi kowtowed repeatedly. "Today we patrolled around the Meridian Gate, and no eunuchs or palace maids left the palace."

"Besides the eunuchs and palace maids, has anyone else left the palace?"

To the great surprise of the two of them.

Almost simultaneously, all of the dozens of Imperial Guards shook their heads.

"Do you mean that no one has entered or left the palace since this morning?"

“Yes,” Li Ping quickly replied, “Every morning, people deliver meat and all kinds of fresh vegetables to the palace.”

"In addition, someone has to remove all the excrement and urine from the palace."

"Leftover food from the palace is also transported out. If it weren't, these things would rot and stink within the imperial city, and the smell would be terrible."

Shen Lian and Ling Yunxiao nodded repeatedly.

Every morning and evening, people would transport food and drink into the palace. In addition, all the cloth and clothing ordered for the palace had to be transported in from outside the palace.

All the leftover food from the palace had to be transported out.

"Who transported it?" Shen Lian glanced at Ling Yunxiao. "Tell me quickly. 5,000 Imperial Guards are waiting outside the palace. I'll take them and check house to house right now."

"My lords, we have records at the Meridian Gate."

Upon hearing this, everyone headed straight for the Meridian Gate.

The Meridian Gate is now closed.

Only a few companies transport goods into the palace every day.

There were only a few companies that transported excrement, urine, and leftover food out of the palace.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard had already recorded all these families.

Without needing to study the Embroidered Uniform Guards, one could already tell who they were.

Half an hour later.

All the families who entered and left the palace were arrested.

They were all kneeling in their courtyards.

Jiang Tian has given a clear order that this matter must not be made public, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

All the commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were mobilized.

Shen Lian stood in the Wang family compound.

The Wang family transported excrement and leftover food out of the palace every day.

"Have all the members of the Wang family been arrested and brought to justice?" Shen Lian asked the Imperial Guards beside him, looking at the hundred or so people kneeling in the middle of the courtyard.
