Chapter 409 Someone took the blame
It was concluded that someone in the palace committed the crime, but after a day of searching the palace, nothing unusual was found.
Not only were they unable to figure out Ye Qianning's methods, even a detective would be useless. There was no clue at all, and three days had passed since the theft.
Even if the city gates were blocked at this time, it would be of no use, but this was just a coincidence.
I don’t know who is so stupid as to kidnap someone in the palace at this time and run into the guards who are searching for him.
Emperor Beili discovered that the people in the secret room had been kidnapped, so he sent people to hunt them down. The palace and the imperial capital were sealed off, and they pursued them with all their might.
Concubine Yuan linked the two incidents together, so she also sent people to hunt for him.
As a result, in just a few hours, the people in Kyoto were in panic. Today, no one in the city or the officials in the court could expect to have peace.
The officials could not sit idly by and wait for death when the emperor sent people to hunt down the people. When the Ministry of War got the news, they immediately sent people to mobilize troops from the camp outside the city to surround Kyoto with three layers of defense.
Even if someone managed to get out of the city gate, they would not be able to escape.
"Miss, the entire Kyoto city has been blocked off so far. The Ministry of War has begun searching house to house, and the General's Mansion will probably be searched as well." Luo Wen said.
"Tell Yingge and Yingyuan not to hide in the dark today. Let them guard the aunt's yard." The aunts don't know martial arts, and it will be troublesome if someone breaks in.
"The young lady can't be without someone by her side." Luo Wen worried.
Dean Chen just returned to Loushan at noon and will not be back until tomorrow. Luo Xuan and Du Ying went to the black market again, so Yingge Yingyuan cannot leave without permission.
"Don't you still exist by my side?" Ye Qianning said with a smile.
Luo Wen was stunned, but felt a little happy in his heart. However, he said, "Miss, the concubines shouldn't be in any danger as long as they don't leave the yard."
I am happy to be trusted, but I must never put the young lady in danger because of my competitive spirit.
There are many masters in Kyoto City, and he is still too weak now.
"Don't worry, I won't go out to join in the fun." Ye Qianning has been peaceful for a few days and there is no need for him to get involved in muddy water.
"Should we ask Mr. Gu to come over?" Luo Wen asked.
"Why did you invite Mr. Gu here?"
"Based on the current speed of their search, they will probably reach the General's residence by the second half of the night. The General and the Dean are not here, and I'm afraid some of them might cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I have the gold medal bestowed by the emperor. Those who dare to act rashly will be taken out and executed. I have instructed the housekeeper to make the servants and maids in the house alert. There is no need to be afraid. Show the confidence of the general's mansion."
"yes."
Luo Wen's voice was loud.
Ye Qianning walked out the door. The rain had lightened a little, but he could still hear the noise outside.
She could vaguely guess that someone was kidnapped in the palace, and that the key was stolen at the Xiyan banquet.
The timing of his action was really fortuitous. It's good that someone has to take the blame.
The night was dark, the rain was pouring down, and the air was filled with the smell of earth.
"Dongdong"
There was a knock on the door.
The housekeeper held up an oil-paper umbrella and opened the door: "Master Zhan, Madam Zhan, Young Master, why are you here?"
"The capital city is not peaceful today. We are worried without the adults in the mansion." Zhan Yi said as he walked in.
Madam Zhan's hair was slightly damp as she walked in and asked, "How is Fatty?"
"Don't worry, Madam Zhan. Miss has arranged everything for Guard Luo, and he should be still here."
"It's really hard for her to have such a child." Madam Zhan said with heartache.
Zhan Chi stood at the door and said, "Guard the General's Mansion well. Don't let anyone who looks suspicious in."
"yes."
A dozen guards wearing rain hats dispersed.
