Chapter 1174 (1/2)
Mrs. Qiao's eyes were full of tears, and she could no longer see her usual arrogance.
Zhennan Wang comforted: ”elder sister, don't worry. As long as LAN's sister is still in Luoyue City, even if it is heaven and earth, I will find her out. ”
Qiao Ruolan is missing Nangong Yue eyebrow heart micro Cu, can not help but think of yesterday's things.
Nangong Yue's heart turned quickly. He stepped forward a few steps, and then he said, ”father Wang, yesterday, my daughter-in-law and Fei's sister-in-law went to a tea shop outside the city and ran into my cousin LAN, who told us that she had found a druggist to buy the medicine and promised to pick up the medicine today. I don't know if this is related to the disappearance of cousin LAN. ”
”It must be!” Mrs. Qiao seemed to have grasped a straw, and could not wait to reply, ”sister LAN has been out early in the morning. She must have gone to see the druggist!” She stepped forward and firmly grasped Nangong Yue's arm, ”Shizi imperial concubine, what does that druggist look like? Where are the people? ”
”Aunt, I have never met the druggist.” Nangong Yue simply explained the whole story of the incident, ”my father, my aunt, and the helper of the tea shop should have seen each other. It's better to summon him into the mansion and ask the painter to draw a portrait, so as to make it convenient to find people...”
Mrs. Joe had no idea for a long time, only to say yes.
Wang guoduan in the south of Zhennan gave two orders. One was to summon the women who helped the workers and the painters in the government office to enter the palace. The other was to make the guards of the palace look for people in the city.
That night, Luoyue City, which was supposed to be under curfew, was full of commotion, with countless torches burning and shining.
On every street of Luoyue City, teams of people hold torches and patrol around. On the streets, gates and towers, the lights are all bright, reflecting like a white night.
The palace guards with torches slapped the doors and searched everywhere.
Although the guards in the palace are not like servants and have no official positions, they are sent out by the palace. Ordinary people will not disobey them if they say they want to search.
The whole Luoyue city was in a panic, only to know that it seemed that they were looking for a young girl and a middle-aged man with gentle features. Their identities must be very important, otherwise they would not disturb the night search of Zhennan palace.
Knock on the door, screams one after another, this is destined to be a restless night
Unconsciously, the night faded, and the sky had become dim and bright. The palace guards were busy all night, almost turning over the whole Luoyue City, but they still could not find Qiao Ruolan.
Not only did the guards stay up all night, but even the Zhennan palace was full of lights until dawn.
”Lord, the man has not been found.” The captain of the guard knelt on one knee and bowed his head to reply, because he had not slept all night, now there was a thick shadow.
Before the king of Zhennan spoke, Mrs. Qiao called hysterically: ”look! Keep looking for me! There must be people still in the city She did not know whether she was persuading others or herself.
The king of Zhennan knew that the elder sister was worried about her daughter, and he didn't care about her. His face was as heavy as water and ordered: ”keep looking for this king!”
”Yes, Lord.”
The long guard bowed his head and retreated. He did not dare to raise his head at all. He did not breathe until he withdrew from the study. It seems that you don't want to get a good sleep until you find Miss Qiao Biao!
As soon as the guard went away, Mrs. Qiao said again, ”brother, you must seal the city! No one is allowed in and out of Luoyue city! Sister LAN must still be in the city. ” She had already cried and swollen her eyes, and her heart was terrified: once the city gate was opened and the thieves fled after dawn, where would she go to find her daughter!
The king of Zhennan hesitated for a moment. According to the law of Dayu, the city could not be closed at will unless it was an invasion by foreign enemies or riots. It is not only the city that is closed, but also the people's will. If one is not good, it will cause panic among the people. In case of civil unrest, it will not end well.
”Brother!” Mrs. Qiao's tears came down again and said hoarsely, ”sister LAN is my only daughter, your nephew! Can you ignore her safety
After pondering for a moment, the king of Zhennan said, ”elder sister, it is absolutely necessary to seal the city completely. At most, we can only strengthen patrol at the gate of the city and strictly check the people who enter and leave the city.” I hope we can find suspicious people from it.
Mrs. Qiao knew that this was the decision made by the king of Zhennan. She answered in tears, and then told her, ”brother, you must order the city gate soldiers to strictly inspect those who enter or leave the city. I can only rely on you. ”
The king of Zhennan immediately asked the long follower to enter the house. After giving a series of orders in front of Mrs. Qiao, he talked with each other and finally persuaded Mrs. Qiao to go back to Qiao's house and wait for news.
It's getting light. It's a brand new day.
However, the people in Luoyue city found that the nightmare of last night was not over. This time, it was not only the guards of the Royal Palace, but also officers and soldiers on patrol walked by the streets from time to time, which can be called ”three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry”. The people were unconsciously affected and shrouded in a panic and tense atmosphere.
For fear of disaster, some people simply choose to stay in the house, but not everyone can. Many poor families who are struggling for a living still have to go out and go out of the city.There are two long lines at the gate of the city early in the morning. One is out of the city and the other is entering the city. No matter whether they are out of the city or entering the city, they must accept the inquiry and inspection of the city gate soldiers.
The soldiers at the gate of the city were instructed by the leader to check and score strictly. Large, small and even a vegetable basket should be turned upside down. In order to prevent someone from going out of the city in disguise, a bearded beard was even pulled by the officers and soldiers to make sure it was the real one. The young women were carefully compared with a portrait of a girl
In contrast, the team entering the city is still a little faster than those out of the city. The guards mainly check whether there are any suspicious people who may be accomplices of the kidnappers.
Looking at the city gate soldiers, they all looked as if they were black faced. The people waiting to get in and out of the city were silent. They didn't even dare to give out the atmosphere. They could only wait patiently for the troops to move forward like snails.
……
“…… Princess, the tea shop outside the north gate has been closed by the Lord. Now we have to strictly inspect all the people going in and out of Luoyue city. The people are very anxious. ”
Listen to Magpie son's report, south palace tiny jaw head, say: ”tea shop over there how to say?”
”Aunt Zhang, who helps the worker, gets a reward of two liang silver from the table girl. From time to time, she will tell the story of our tea shop to her, but they are just trivial things. This time, someone came to sell antidepressants, which she also revealed Magpie told her all the news that she had inquired back. ”The day before yesterday, you came to the tea shop half an hour earlier than the princess. She specially waited for the merchant who came to sell the medicine. Without negotiating the price, she directly bought all the medicine, and then made an appointment to get the medicine yesterday.”
Nangong Yue drooped his eyes slightly and said, ”does the merchant know that the one who bought the medicine is Wang Ye's watch girl?”
Magpie son a Zheng, shake head way: ”maidservant does not know.” Recalling what the helper said, she said, ”when the merchant came, Aunt Zhang went to greet him. Others heard him ask if the tea shop owner was here, and then the girl came over...”
Nangong Yue was silent for a moment, then opened his lips and said, ”this is a coincidence. I'm afraid this group of people are coming for me.”
Several servant girls looked at each other. Of course, they would not doubt Nangong Yue's judgment. Que'er said nervously, ”the slave maid, hurry to ask housekeeper Zhu to strengthen his protection Shizifei, call Baihui sister back from the big girl? ”
Nangong Yue raised his hand and motioned them to be silent and immersed in his own thoughts.
It's not a secret that Zhennan Wangfu bought antipyretic drugs in Luoyue city. Of course, it was used by dozens of tea shops in southern Xinjiang. In a word, it still makes people feel that they are in urgent need of antipyretic drugs.
Starting with someone selling antipyretic drugs, they first lead themselves out and then take advantage of selling drugs to abduct people. This is a logical process.
However, Qiao Ruolan's fighting for the wind made ”them” mistake her for herself
If so, it would be a disaster for jorolan.
Nangong Yue believes that this guess should not be far from the truth.
Nangong Yue didn't think that he had implicated Qiao Ruolan. After all, if the same thing were his own, he would not be easily hooked. What's more, with the dark guard on the side, he would not fall into such a passive situation as Qiao Ruolan.
It's just Who would it be?
Taking such a big risk should not be a simple pursuit of wealth, is it Is it for profit?
Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and blurted out: ”Nanliang!”
Is it Nanliang people who want to abduct themselves to coerce Xiao Yi?!
Nangong Yue's hands could not help but clasp them into fists. The more she thought about it, the more likely she felt. Her eyes slightly sank and asked, ”go to see if the Lord is in the house, and say I have something to ask for.”
After a while, magpie came to reply that the king of Zhennan had not returned to his house.
Nangong Yue nodded and went straight to the outer courtyard. He called Zhu Xingfen and asked him to arrange more people to watch.
Zhu Xing was ordered to leave in a hurry.
Luoyue city's strict investigation is still continuing. Unconsciously, it is the scorching sun in the sky. In the hot summer, both the soldiers guarding the city and the people queuing in and out of the city are about to be exposed to the sun. However, the tea shop outside the north gate of the city is also closed. It is difficult to ask for a cup of herbal tea. Only in a short morning, several frail old people and children fell down from the heat stroke.
In front of the soldiers, the people did not dare to speak out, for fear of causing trouble, but once left Luoyue City, the bursts of complaints would be heard.
In Maofeng Town, more than 100 miles away from Luoyue City, a man in coarse cloth, carrying two bundles of firewood, stopped when he heard someone calling him.
”Li Erzhu, it's so late. Don't you go to Luoyue city to sell firewood?”
”Don't mention it.” Li Erzhu said angrily, ”I just came back from Luoyue City, but I don't know what happened. I've been investigating all day long. I've been waiting for an hour. If I can't get into the city, I'll just come back. My mother still needs to take medicine. ”
”So strict, there should be no spies?”
