Madam Qiao's eyes were full of tears, and she could no longer see her usual arrogance and domineering.

King Zhennan reassured: "Eldest sister, don't worry. As long as Sister Lan is still in Luoyue City, even if she goes to heaven, this king will find her."

Qiao Ruolan actually disappeared... Nangong Yue frowned, and she couldn't help thinking of what happened yesterday.

Nangong Yue's thoughts revolved quickly, she took a few steps forward, and then blessedly said, "Father, my daughter-in-law and sister Fei went to a tea shop outside the city yesterday, and they met Cousin Lan. Cousin Lan told us that she I found a pharmacist to buy medicine, and made an appointment to pick it up today. I don't know if this has anything to do with Cousin Lan's disappearance."

"It must be!" Madam Qiao replied impatiently as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, "Sister Lan went out early in the morning, she must have gone to see the pharmacist!" She stepped forward and firmly He grabbed Nangong Yue's arm, "Concubine Shizi, what does that medicine dealer look like? Where is he?"

"Aunt, I've never met that medicine dealer." Nangong Yue briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, "Father, aunt, and the helper of the tea shop should have met before, why don't you summon the manor and ask the painter to paint a portrait? It’s also easy to find people…”

Mrs. Qiao had already lost her mind, and only knew that she was good.

King Zhennan resolutely gave two orders, one was to summon the women who helped the workers and the painter of the government office to enter the palace, and the other was to order the guards of the palace to search for people in the city.

That night, Luo Yue City, which was supposed to be under curfew, was in a commotion, with countless torches burning and shining.

On every street in Luoyue City, a team of people patrolled around with torches. The streets, city gates, and city towers were all brightly lit by fire, reflecting like a white night.

The guards of the palace with torches slapped the door one by one and searched everywhere.

Although the guards of the palace are not like servants and have no official position, they are sent by the palace, and they say they will be searched, and ordinary people will not follow it.

The entire Luoyue City was in a state of anxiety, only knowing that they were looking for a young girl and a middle-aged man with gentle facial features-the identities of these two people must be very important, otherwise they would not have disturbed the Zhennan Palace for an overnight search.

There are knocks and exclamations one after another, this is destined to be an uneasy night...

Unknowingly, the night faded, and the sky had become bright. The guards of the palace had been busy all night, almost turning over the entire Luo Yue city, but they still could not find any trace of Qiao Ruolan.

Not only did the guards stay up all night, but even the Zhennan Palace was brightly lit until dawn.

"My lord, I haven't found anyone yet." The captain of the guard kneeled on the ground tremblingly, bowing his head and replying, because he hadn't slept all night, and there was a heavy shadow right now.

Before King Zhennan could speak, Mrs. Qiao had already shouted hysterically: "Look! Keep looking for me! The person must still be in the city!" She didn't know whether she was persuading others or herself.

King Zhennan knew that the eldest sister was worried about her daughter, and she didn't care about her, so he instructed with a stern face: "Continue looking for this king!"

"Yes, my lord."

The captain of the guard bowed his head and stepped back, not daring to raise his head at all. It was not until he exited the outer study that he breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that you don't want to get a good night's sleep until you find Miss Qiao!

As soon as the chief guard left, Mrs. Qiao said again: "Brother, seal the city, it must be sealed! No one is allowed to enter or leave Luoyue City! Sister Lan must still be in the city." Anxiety: As soon as the sun rises, the city gates are wide open, allowing the thieves to escape, so the sky is so big, where do you go to find your daughter!

King Zhennan hesitated for a moment. According to the Dayu Law calendar, unless it was an invasion by a foreign enemy or there were special cases such as mob rebellion, under normal circumstances, the city could not be closed at will. The closure of the city is not only the city, but also the people's hearts. If one is not good, it will cause panic among the people. If it leads to civil chaos, it will not end well.

"Brother!" Madam Qiao's tears flowed down again, and she said in a hoarse voice, "Sister Lan is my only daughter, your niece! Can you just put her safety at risk!"

After pondering for a moment, King Zhennan said sternly: "Eldest sister, it is absolutely impossible to completely seal the city. At most, you can only strengthen patrols at the city gate, and strictly check the people who enter and leave the city." I hope to find suspicious people.

Mrs. Qiao knew that this was the decision made by King Zhennan after she conceded, and she responded with tears, and then urged: "Brother, you must tell the city gate soldiers to strictly check those who enter and leave the city. The only one I can rely on is you. "

King Zhennan immediately called Chang Sui to enter the house, and after giving a series of orders in front of Mrs. Qiao, he followed up with good-natured talk, and finally persuaded Mrs. Qiao to go back to Qiao's house to wait for news.

The sky was getting brighter, and it was a brand new day.

However, the people of Luoyue City found that the nightmare of last night was not over yet. This time, it was not only the guards of the palace, but there were even patrolling officers and soldiers on the streets from time to time. , the people were not consciously affected, shrouded in a panic and tense atmosphere.

Some people simply choose not to go out because they are afraid of getting into trouble, but not everyone can do this. Many poor people who are rushing to make a living still have to bite the bullet and go out of the city.

Early in the morning at the gate of the city, there were two long queues. One was out of the city and the other was in the city. Whether going out or entering the city, they had to be questioned and inspected by the city gate soldiers.

The city gate soldiers were instructed by their superiors, and they were all inspected very strictly. Large items, small items and even a vegetable basket had to be turned upside down. In order to prevent someone from going out of town in disguise, a bearded man with a long beard was even pulled by officers and soldiers to make sure it was a real beard, and those young women were carefully compared with a portrait of a girl...

In contrast, the team entering the city was still slightly faster than the team leaving the city. The guards mainly checked whether there were any suspicious people who might be the accomplices of the kidnappers.

Looking at those city gate soldiers, all of them seemed to be black-faced, and the people who waited in line to enter and leave the city were all silent, and they didn't even dare to let out the air. They could only wait patiently for the team to advance like a snail.

...

"...Concubine Shizi, today the tea shop outside the North City Gate was ordered to be closed by the lord. Now entering and leaving Luoyue City must be strictly checked, and the people are very anxious."

Listening to Que'er's report, Nangong nodded slightly and said, "What did the tea shop say?"

"Aunt Zhang, the helper, was rewarded with two taels of silver from Biao girl. From time to time, she would tell Biao girl about our tea shop, but it was only a trivial matter. This time someone came to sell anti-heat medicine. Going out." Que'er explained the news from the inquiries one by one, "The day before yesterday, Miss Biao arrived at the tea shop half an hour earlier than you, Concubine Shizi, and waited for the merchant who came to sell medicine, and there was no price negotiation. , I bought all the medicine directly, and then made an appointment to pick up the medicine yesterday."

Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly and said thoughtfully, "Does the merchant know that the one who bought the medicine was the prince's cousin?"

Que'er was startled, shook her head and said, "I don't know this servant." She recalled what the helper said, and said, "When the businessman came, Aunt Zhang went to greet him, and others heard him asking if the tea shop owner was here, and then expressed his gratitude. The girl is gone..."

Nangong Yue was silent for a moment, then opened her lips and said, "This incident is too coincidental, I'm afraid this group of people came after me."

The several maids looked at each other, of course they would not doubt Nangong Yue's judgment, Que'er said nervously: "Then this servant, hurry up and ask Butler Zhu to strengthen protection... Concubine Shizi, let's call Sister Baihui back from the eldest girl. ?"

Nangong Yue raised her hand and motioned them to keep silent, immersed in her own thoughts.

It is not a secret that the Zhennan Palace bought anti-heat medicines in Luoyue City. Of course, it was used for the application of medicines in dozens of tea shops in the entire southern border, but in the final analysis, it still made people feel that they needed anti-heat medicine urgently.

From the time someone came to sell anti-heat medicine, first lead yourself out, and then use the medicine to carry out the act of kidnapping people.

It's just that Qiao Ruolan's competitive act made "them" mistake her for herself...

If this is the case, it would be a disaster for Qiao Ruolan.

Nangong Yue believed that this guess should not be far from the truth.

Nangong Yue would not think that she was implicated in Qiao Ruolan. After all, if the same thing was her own, she would not be easily hooked. Moreover, with the dark guard on her side, she would not fall into a passive position like Qiao Ruolan. situation.

Just...who will it be?

Taking such a big risk to act should not be purely for money, could it be... for profit?

Nangong Yue's eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Nan Liang!"

Could it be that the Nanliang people tried to kidnap him to coerce Xiao Yi? !

Nangong Yue's hands couldn't help clenching into fists. The more she thought about it, the more she thought it was very possible, and she asked with a low gaze, "Go and see if the lord is in the mansion, and say I have something to ask for."

Not long after, Queer reported back and forth, and King Zhennan had not returned to his residence.

Nangong Yue nodded, went straight to the outer courtyard, called Zhu Xing and ordered him to arrange for more people to watch.

Zhu Xing obeyed the order and left in a hurry.

The strict investigation of Luoyue City is still going on, and before you know it, the scorching sun is in the sky. In the hot summer, whether it is the soldiers guarding the city or the people who are queuing to enter and leave the city, they are about to be sunburned by the sun. The shop was also closed, and it was difficult to ask for a cup of herbal tea. In just one morning, several frail elderly and children died of heatstroke.

In front of the soldiers, the people did not dare to speak out, for fear of causing trouble, but once they left Luoyue City, the complaints were endless.

In Maofeng Town, more than a hundred miles away from Luoyue City, a man in coarse clothes carrying two bundles of firewood stopped when he heard someone calling him.

"Li Erzhu, it's so late, why 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, and I don't know what happened. I'm doing a strict investigation early in the morning. I have to check when I enter or leave the city. I queued for an hour. If I can't get into the city, I just come back. My mother still needs to take medicine."

"It's so strict, shouldn't there be spies?"

"Who knows, I heard that the investigation started last night..." The more Li Erzhu thought about it, the more annoyed he became. "Those who are officials like to mess around, and it's not us ordinary people who suffer."

"I said Li Erzhu..."

...

"Young Master!" Xiao Si's slightly helpless voice called Guan Yubai's attention back from the two of them.

The group of them just arrived in Maofeng Town not long ago. This place is not far from Luoyue City. The long journey is really hard, and everyone is a little dusty. Guan Yubai suggested to take a rest here for the time being and wait until tomorrow morning. Then go to Luoyue City.

Maofeng Town was just a small town, and it was a bit noticeable with too many people. Guan Yubai sent Li Yunqi and the others to find an inn first, while he walked slowly with Xiao Si all the way.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest.

Strict investigation?

What happened to Luoyue City?

Guan Yubai couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Son!"

Xiao Si didn't care what happened to Luo Yuecheng. What he cares most about now is that it's already this hour, and the son hasn't had lunch yet! After finally being diagnosed and treated by Doctor Lin, the son's body improved a little. The ghost weather in this southern border is stuffy and hot. If you don't rest and eat well, what if you fall ill again!

Poor little four, an informal warrior, for the sake of his son, he is about to become an old mother.

Under the staring gaze of Xiao Si, Guan Yubai finally took a step forward and whispered as he walked, "Go and tell Feng Xing and let him go to Luoyue City to explore."

This time I came to Luoyue City, Xiao Si was in the light, Fengxing was in the dark, even Li Yunqi and the others didn't know the existence of Fengxing.

Of course, in addition to these two people, Guan Yubai also has some other people, so they are more secretive.

Xiao Si got the order, whistled softly, called Feng Xing out from the dark place, and then spoke with his lips. Not long after they walked away, a young man in his twenties, wearing a cyan suit, turned out of an alley, holding a black horse in his hand, and walked lazily out of the town. .

After leaving Maofeng Town, Fengxing immediately flew onto the horse, and the black horse rushed out like a black lightning, leaving only a piece of flying dust.

Maofeng Town was the closest town to Luoyue City, and Fengxing rushed all the way to the north gate of Luoyue City in less than half an hour.

From a distance, he saw a long queue waiting to enter the city, and some soldiers were closely patrolling near the city gate... The situation was obviously unusual.

Fengxing dismounted decisively, led the black horse, and went to the gate of the city pretending to be on his way.

Feng Xing was at the end of the line, and then he deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, the line is so long that it will last until the Year of the Monkey." He said to a plump middle-aged woman in front of him, "Eldest sister, you Do you know what happened? I didn't need to check when I came a few days ago."

As soon as Feng Xing smiled, he revealed the dimples on his cheeks, which made people feel good about him, especially those older aunts and aunties.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on today." The middle-aged woman frowned and complained, "I've been waiting for a stick of incense."

An aunt in front heard their conversation, turned her head and whispered, "I heard people say that the palace is looking for two people, one of them is a girl..."

"Yeah, yeah!" Another person echoed, "I heard about it too, I also heard about..." She looked around cautiously and whispered, "It's our prince's concubine who steals the man, Elopement with someone?"

The news was really explosive, and a few people gathered around immediately.

They talked lively, but Feng Xing could hear it. It was just a rumor, and most of them really didn't know what happened.

Feng Xing was calm, casually chatting with the people around him, while slowly advancing with the team, his eyes still glanced in the direction of the city gate from time to time.

Pedestrians had to be checked, luggage had to be checked, and carriages had to be checked inside and out. Feng Xing waited for half an hour before advancing less than halfway.

At this time, there was a commotion in the direction of the city gate, and an old man complained angrily: "It's really bad luck!"

Feng Xing naturally saw it too, and he didn't know which family was driving a carriage and was about to transport a black lacquered coffin out of the city.

The driver of the car was a middle-aged man with gray hair, who timidly said to the city gate soldiers: "Master, this is ordered by a family in Maofeng Town, and they are rushing to use it... In this hot weather, if Don't hurry, I'm afraid it will stink."

The city gate soldiers were also secretly unlucky in their hearts, but this time the matter was of great importance, and they should not be taken lightly.

The city gate soldier frowned and said, "Quickly open the coffin!"

A young man sitting by the coffin bowed his head and clasped his fists and said, "Master, it's just a coffin, don't you need it?"

"So much nonsense! Go aside!" The city gate soldier waved his hand and pushed the young man angrily.

The young man's feet stumbled and hit the coffin, his arm accidentally touched the coffin lid, only a "click" was heard, and the heavy coffin lid was knocked open by a quarter. From the guard's point of view, you can see at a glance that the inside of the coffin is empty and nothing.

Bad luck, really bad luck!

The city gate soldier waved his hand impatiently and said harshly, "Let's go! Let's go!"

"Thank you Jun Ye! Thank you Jun Ye!" The young man hurriedly moved the coffin cover back again. The coachman whipped a whip on the horse, and the carriage slowly drove out of the city gate, going further and further...

Feng Xing stared at the passing carriage for a while, squinting his eyes.

The city gate soldiers even have to check the coffin... It shouldn't be easy, so let's go back to the son first!

"Hey, it's so hot, when will this go! I'll come back another day."

Feng Xing said helplessly, withdrew from the team, and walked back with his horse dejectedly.

On this day, many people couldn't stand in line and gave up entering the city. The soldiers were so busy that they didn't even bother to look at him.

Feng Xing got on his horse, galloped all the way, and returned to Maofeng Town in a short time.

Following the mark left by Xiao Si all the way, Feng Xing went outside an inn, followed a big tree, and climbed into a certain guest room.

"Son."

Feng Xing smiled and saluted Guan Yubai with a fist, and when he saw the cold water that had been prepared on the table, his eyes lit up, ignoring Xiao Si's disdainful gaze, and drank it all in one go.

Guan Yubai smiled slightly, and asked Wen Yan, "Have you found anything?"

Feng Xing put down his glass, and quickly shared what he saw and heard during his trip, "...Sir, Luo Yuecheng should be looking for a girl. Now it takes at least an hour to line up when entering and leaving the city, and if you have to check everything, just check it out. Even the coffin is not spared, if the lid of the coffin was not accidentally knocked open, maybe the city gate soldiers would have pushed it by themselves!" He said with a dry mouth, and drank two glasses of cold water in a row.

Guan Yubai was thoughtful, tapped his finger on the table lightly, and after a while he said, "Is that coffin going to be sent to Maofeng Town?"

"That's what the partner who sent the coffin said." Feng Xing asked curiously, "Young Master, what's wrong with this coffin? It should be empty, otherwise they won't be let go."

"The timing of the opening of this coffin is too coincidental." Guan Yubai said, stood up and said, "Little Si, let's go down for a walk..."

Guan Yubai and Xiao Si went out, and Feng Xing dullly thought that his son was not a targetless person. Could it be that there is something wrong with the coffin? He hurriedly jumped out of the window again...

After Guan Yubai took Xiao Si out of the inn, he walked slowly and leisurely all the way to Zhenzikou, as if leisurely, and bought paper fans and dried fruits along the way.

When I got to Zhenzikou, I sat down casually in a tea shop on the side of the street.

The sour plum soup came up shortly after, and Xiao Si's ears moved and he looked towards Zhenzikou. At the end of the official road, a carriage can be seen rushing towards this side, getting closer and closer, and you can see the huge and heavy black lacquer coffin behind the driver.

The carriage slowed down near the mouth of Zhenzi, and passed by the tea shop in a hurry, attracting many people on the road for a while, all pointing and pointing.

Guan Yu stared blankly at the carriage and the coffin on it... His eyes fell on the rut left by the carriage, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

After the carriage passed by, Guan Yubai made a catch-up gesture to Feng Xing, who was watching a play on the side of the road. Feng Xing nodded, and flexibly mixed into the crowd, chasing the carriage away...
