At around nine o'clock in the morning, we received the news that Zhao Hao had been abducted and missing.
Around ten o'clock, the news reached the palace.
Jiang Wan'er was shocked at first, then she was furious. She immediately ordered the Supreme Court to seal off the entire city. She had to rescue Zhao Hao from the criminals as quickly as possible.
The Supreme Court immediately dispatched troops and searched the entire city for more than two hours, but to no avail.
At noon, the anxious Jiang Wan'er directly mobilized the imperial guards and started a search together with the Supreme Court.
However, a whole afternoon had passed and it was already dark, and not only had Zhao Hao not been rescued, there was not even any news at all. This made Jiang Wan'er extremely angry.
She looked at Xiao Chuyun and the blue bird beside him with a gloomy look.
"Where's the girl named Hongye? Hasn't she come back yet?"
Xiao Chuyun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have personally asked the servants of the Zhao Mansion in the workshop."
"The woman in red hurried to the workshop to look for Brother Zhao's bodyguard Wu Song."
"After telling them that Brother Zhao had been abducted, Wu Song immediately informed them and asked them to inform Lord Zhao."
"Afterwards, the two of them went to look for Brother Zhao together, and they haven't returned yet."
"I have also asked the guards at the gates of the four cities, and the soldiers on duty all said that they did not see the guards and the woman in red leave the city."
Jiang Wan'er asked in a serious tone, "Is it possible that it was a collaboration between the inside and the outside?"
Xiao Chuyun shook his head and said, "It should be impossible. That Wu guard has been with Brother Zhao for quite some time and has always performed his duties conscientiously..."
Jiang Wan'er scolded: "If you are really doing your job, how could this happen!"
"Expand the search area for me. Send out all the imperial guards to track down the official roads at the four city gates."
"I will give you one more day. If you still cannot bring Zhao Hao back safe and sound by this time tomorrow."
Her eyes suddenly became stern: "All of you should go back home, raise your children and farm!"
Xiao Chuyun and Qingniao quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
Immediately, the two of them hurriedly retreated.
After the two of them left, Jiang Wan'er took a deep breath, walked to Princess Yongning, and patted her on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, girl. I will definitely bring Zhao Hao back to you intact!"
Princess Yongning raised her head abruptly and gnashed her teeth in hatred, "Royal sister, you must rescue Zhao Hao and capture all those thieves and behead them all!"
Jiang Wan'er nodded and comforted her, "Okay, trust my sister, I will agree to your request!"
"Go back to Yuxiu Pavilion first. Once there is any news here, my sister will inform you immediately!"
Princess Yongning knew that if she stayed here, she would only delay Jiang Wan'er's business, so she slowly stood up and walked away.
After she left, Jiang Wan'er slowly walked back to the desk. She seemed to have lost all her strength and sat down on the chair.
“Who on earth is that…?”
“Who would do that?”
"Since last year, Zhao Hao has done a lot of things and has indeed offended a lot of people."
"But, neither I nor Lord Zhao allowed him to be too ostentatious."
"Normally, there shouldn't be such a big grudge."
"So, it shouldn't be revenge."
"Since you're not seeking revenge, then you value his ability."
"I want to get something from him."
"If that were the case, it would not have harmed his life."
"It will buy time for rescue."
After a careful analysis, Jiang Wan'er felt that the reason why this group of thieves kidnapped Zhao Hao was because of Zhao Hao's value.
This made her feel a little more at ease.
As long as Zhao Hao’s life is not harmed.
…
Xiao Chuyun and Qing Xing came out of the Pepper Room.
Xiao Chuyun said, "Miss Qingxing, His Majesty has ordered us to start from the four city gates and expand the scope of the investigation."
"How about this, my office of the Supreme Court has few people, so we will go out from the south gate and search along the official road."
"The other three gates will be handed over to Miss Qingxing's guards."
Qing Xing's eyes moved, and he said expressionlessly: "General Chu Yun, the number of people coming and going at the South Gate is huge, and it is the most complicated."
"Besides, it's OK for the Court of Justice to do its job at the city gate."
"If we leave the city, it may not be of much use. I will send another team of soldiers for you to deploy at any time."
Xiao Chuyun did not hesitate and nodded immediately, saying, "Thank you very much, Miss Qingxing!"
You know, in Qingxing's hands, all of them are the elites among the elites.
However, there were many people in the Supreme Court who were of worse quality.
Qingxing nodded, turned around and waved his hand, and Qingniao immediately walked over quickly.
Qing Xing said, "Qingniao, from now on, you will follow General Chu Yun's side and be ready to be dispatched by General Chu Yun at any time."
"Head south to find out the whereabouts of Lord Duke Zhao Hao!"
Qingniao nodded quickly, then saluted Xiao Chuyun, and then went their separate ways.
Soon, the gates of the four cities were opened, and carpet searches were carried out along the official roads.
As for Wu Song and Hong Ye, after receiving the news in the morning, they immediately left the city and chased all the way south.
However, even after riding at full speed for more than a hundred miles, there was still no gain.
The two had to stop first.
On the side of the road, Wu Song's face was extremely gloomy. He punched a thick tree casually.
Suddenly, the thick bark shattered and splashed everywhere.
The woman in red was startled and came over to say, "Second brother, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. But I really didn't know that you and Lord Zhao had such a relationship..."
