Chapter 372: Citywide Search
Chapter 372 Search the whole city
Yin Miao thought that the imperial court, which had been inactive all the time, would cover up the prison robbery lightly, but unexpectedly, it was already known to everyone in the city the next morning.
The officers and soldiers soon surrounded every street in the capital, and even prepared to go door-to-door to search.
“Have you heard that someone robbed the prison last night!”
“Really? Dare to rob prison in the capital, this is a big crime to punish the Nine Clan.”
“I heard that the people who were rescued were all corrupt officials who embezzled the state treasury…”
“But I remember that both Mr. Zheng and Mr. Wu are good officials with clear arms…”
“…”
The people who were queuing up to get the porridge were all talking about this matter. The doors of the closed shops not far away were opened one by one. There were officials with swords everywhere on the road. It seemed that the situation was quite serious.
“There is an order from the Holy One to strictly investigate every corner of the capital, and not to let any suspicious person go. If there is a private prisoner, the crime will be increased!”
The voice of a police officer wearing a saber standing on the street and shouting loudly happened to be introduced into the jade business.
Yin Miaozheng and Xiao Xuan stood by the window indifferently watching the officers and soldiers who were about to find their firm.
“I can’t believe that the court is very interested in a few people who are about to be tortured to death by them.”
Yin Miao said.
“I’m afraid the drunkard’s intention is not drinking. It’s fake to hunt down criminals in the city, and it’s true to come and find out the details.”
Xiao Xuan sneered and said, if he wanted to find them, he would let them find them and see when they could find those people.
“It seems that the news of your secret passage has been spread by some people.”
Yin Miao’s eyes flashed with a hint of interest, watching others search for non-existent secret path games, but it was the most fun.
“Well, Chen Wenjing has already done what I said, and the two doctors we are looking for have also been sent.”
Xiao Xuan and Yin Miao were talking, and the officers and soldiers at the street corner had already found the downstairs of ‘Puyu’.
“I also ask for your forgiveness, King Xuan, and I will only enforce the law impartially.”
, a man with a mustache wearing a flower quill, said to Xiao Xuan who was sitting on the second floor.
I saw an extraordinary man wearing a dark purple patterned cloud brocade. He seemed to be sitting in front of the window drinking tea with a woman in a pink-green veil skirt opposite, and the woman’s face was like pink. Just looking down slightly, it makes people feel hopeful.
Could this be the rumored fiancée of His Royal Highness King Xuan? Is it also the daughter of Duke Yin who was exiled?
The people lining up in front of ‘Puyu’ looked up one after another. In addition to the beautiful faces of the two people who made people linger, more people showed gratitude in their eyes.
Compared with the inaction of the imperial court, when His Royal Highness returned to Beijing, he devoted all his money to help the people. In addition, he was a meritorious nobleman. At this time, the status of King Xuan in the hearts of the people was already rising.
Even the little-known Yin Miao, since the opening of ‘Puyu’, as long as the jade master gives a price range, she will let people exchange food with the common people at a high price, and never let her own shop occupy one place. Points are cheap.
Therefore, she was also called “the most beautiful prodigal lady” by the people.
But Yin Miao didn’t like this title, and it would be fine if she said she was a loser. Anyway, she has room to lose, but she is only sixteen years old now, how can she be called “Mrs.”?
“A Miao just thinks they are complimenting you.”
Xiao Xuan said with a smile and stood up again, and looked downstairs at the officers and soldiers who were pointed at by the people and said, “Since the sage has an order, how dare this king refuse to obey? As long as it does not affect the people downstairs, this You can search inside and outside the king’s shop as you like.”
After King Xuan’s words, the people downstairs looked at the officers and soldiers even more badly.
This is His Royal Highness King Xuan who loves the country and the people, how could he harbor fugitives?
And the door is open for anyone to search, which shows that His Royal Highness King Xuan has a clear conscience.
These officers and soldiers are indeed a bit inhumane.
Li Li, headed by , was a little embarrassed, but this was an errand ordered by the emperor himself, and they must not be neglected.
So all the officials and messengers entered the jade business in full view, and the two people sitting in front of the window on the second floor didn’t seem to care about it at all, and they sat down and sipped tea.
Yu’an pouted and followed behind those officials, watching them search every corner, not even the cabinets and under the table.
She hesitated, but she saw Yuhun standing in front of her shaking her head slightly.
Yu’an was shocked to realize that in the morning, His Royal Highness King Xuan and the young lady had already instructed them that no matter who came, they didn’t need to say a word.
But Li Li and other officials were uneasy. Just because this jade business is full of various materials, there is a chicken coop in the backyard, and there are hundreds of big red-crowned roosters in captivity.
“…continue searching.”
Li Li finished his instructions, but only a few moments later, there were bursts of exclamations from his own people around him.
No matter which door they open at will, there are all kinds of food inside, and there are even piles of potatoes, carrots and other vegetables? !
He pushed open the stove door again, and the laughter and laughter inside suddenly stopped. The cooks looked at the uninvited officials with surprise, and then they all resumed their busy work in silence.
A cook lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma in the kitchen was filled in an instant.
I saw thick soup tumbling in the steaming cauldron. The milky white soup was full of thinly sliced fish fillets, mixed with green onions and sauerkraut…
Li Li’s saliva was secreting frantically, and his heart was also extremely shocked. Here is actually making pickled fish? !
Seeing that several officials couldn’t even move their feet, the cooks and helpers in the stove were watching them. In order not to continue to make a fool of themselves, Li Li hurriedly ordered everyone to leave the stove immediately.
“Sir, we have searched this yard, except… grain, it’s grain.”
The subordinates came to report that the outrageous rumors of His Royal Highness King Xuan were actually true.
Li Li nodded, then looked towards the second floor and said, “You guys wait here for a while, you guys can go up with me and have a look.”
I don’t know why, after seeing the scene in this courtyard, Li Li felt that he shouldn’t have offended King Xuan, so he only brought three people with him, so as not to offend King Xuan.
…
At this time, outside the gate of the capital, two men and women dressed as refugees were stopped outside the gate.
“The capital does not accept refugees, you should go back.”
The gate guard yawned and waved impatiently away.
“But eldest brother, we and the people in the village finally made it to the capital, and now there are only two of us left alive, so just let us in!”
A woman with a dirty face lowered her head and prayed, if Yin Miao was here, she would definitely recognize that these two were Zheng Feiyao and Su Wanfeng, but at this time, their pleas were not answered…
