Chapter 55: Late-night Tracking and Being Caught
Late at night, Ye Qianning evaded the guards and quietly left the general's mansion. It was already late at night and there were very few people on the streets. In the darkness, a figure was running in the night.
Soon the target person appeared in sight. At this time, the maid had changed into her clothes, wearing a plain dress and light gauze, and was walking hurriedly towards Xiting Street, the most lively street in Kyoto at night.
Xiting Street is a night scene in Kyoto City. It is next to the moat, with willows on both sides and lights on. It is a place where many scholars and elegant people party all night long.
Ye Qianning followed the woman into Xiting Street. The woman was standing at the bridge head, looking around, as if waiting for someone.
She was not in a hurry. Her chubby little body was hidden by the bridge, and even if she stood in front of others, she would not attract their attention.
"If you want to arrest someone, why don't you just go up and hold him down?" The bird on the bridge nodded.
"Do you understand why we arrest people and seize stolen goods?" Ye Qianning said.
The bird chirped and chirped, and I didn't quite understand why it felt like it wasn't worth it to have to guard a few insects for so many days?
Not far away, Zhan Chi was walking side by side with someone. As soon as he turned the corner, he noticed the little fat baby under the bridge. He became suspicious and turned around to look around, but he didn't see anyone from the general's mansion.
Why would a little girl be on Xiting Street so late at night?
Not knowing what was in his mind, Zhan Chi walked towards the villain.
Ye Qianning heard footsteps, turned around and saw Zhan Chi in gorgeous clothes. He frowned slightly and shifted his gaze.
"What are you doing here?" Zhan Chi stood in front of her, looking down at the little person who was not even as tall as his thigh. This girl has become quite famous recently.
"What do you care?" Ye Qianning teased the bird with his little hands.
When the bird saw her reaching out, it rubbed its little head against her fingertips.
Zhan Chi was choked by this, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he threatened: "There are many human traffickers in Kyoto City, little kid, you'd better go home as soon as possible."
"Human traffickers will at least spare people's lives, unlike some people who are just good-looking but murderous at heart." Ye Qianning had not forgotten the murderous look he had shown last time.
If he hadn't acknowledged her to Lord Ming, he probably wouldn't have been able to contain his murderous intent.
"You...are me meddling in other people's business." Zhan Chi snorted coldly and turned away.
Ye Qianning snorted and looked at the people on the bridge. The woman's eyes were always looking at the attic.
The light on the attic was bright. Suddenly, the light flickered a few times, and the woman on the bridge turned around, walked down the bridge, and headed towards the attic.
Zhan Chi had just walked a short distance when he turned around and happened to see Ye Qianning running forward timidly. He was running so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“…”
He couldn't help but twitch his lips a few times. Is it normal for a child who is so fat to be so agile?
Forget it, never mind. It’s good for Fatty to suffer a little for being so arrogant. Xiting Street is not so peaceful at night.
Ye Qianning followed the woman to a bustling Babao Tower, filled with the sounds of piano, singing and laughter. The so-called literati and elegant guests were all there to have fun.
The woman stood at the door and talked to the servant for a long time before entering the Babao Tower.
Ye Qianning raised his foot to follow, but was pulled back by a strong force.
"You dare to enter the Eight Treasures Tower?" Zhan Chi picked up the chubby little man.
"Let me go." Ye Qianning turned his head and shouted angrily.
"Who are you following?" Zhan Chi asked.
Ye Qianning didn't expect that he had seen through her. If she didn't follow him now, all her efforts in the past few days would have been wasted.
"If you don't tell me, I will bring you before Marquis Xiang Ming and let him ask you personally." Zhan Chi has always felt that there is something wrong with this fat girl. Now that he has finally caught some evidence, he can't let her go easily.
