Feeling that he had bumped into someone and the other person couldn't bear the force of his impact and fell backwards, Zu An subconsciously stretched out his hand to support the other person.
Everywhere he started was filled with warm fragrant nephrite, and he couldn't help but be startled.
At this time, various scoldings and sounds of weapons being drawn were heard from all around. Only then did he realize that the woman in his arms was actually the princess, and he was holding his arms around her waist.
He hurriedly let go and took a step back: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry when I went out and didn't pay attention to bump into the Crown Princess. I hope the Crown Princess will forgive me."
Zu An was just thinking about finding Ou Wu and didn't notice anyone coming outside.
It's strange to say that what the princess is doing at her door so early in the morning.
I spent most of the night working at Queen Kunning Palace's place, and after I came back, I worked with Mi Li for a long time. Now it's dawn.
"How can this be unreasonable? How can you just apologize for offending the Crown Princess? Someone, take this guy down!" Rong Mo, the Crown Princess's personal maid, said sharply.
"Wait a minute!" The Crown Princess stretched out her hand to stop her subordinates, "The Eleventh Master also made an unintentional mistake. There is no need to go to the line like this."
"But..." Rong Mo wanted to say more.
The Crown Princess glared at her fiercely: "You girl, you still think that this palace's time is not enough. If things get serious, there will be rumors about me."
Rong Mo stuck out his tongue and then remembered that she had just spread the "scandal" with Zu An. It would really be bad if something similar happened again.
As the Crown Princess spoke, the guards sheathed their swords, and the tense atmosphere immediately relaxed.
"What are you doing in such a hurry, Master Eleven?" The prince's face turned slightly red. Although it was just a fleeting moment, the sense of security in his arms and the heat of his big hands made her heart beat faster. A few points.
However, Zu An's appearance suddenly appeared in her mind, and her expression was extremely tangled and complicated for a moment.
Mi Li said jokingly in Zu An's ear: "Okay, I didn't expect that this crown princess seems to have a good impression of you."
Her current soul body can only be seen by Zu An, who resonates with her soul, unless she wants to, so she is afraid of being discovered by others when she speaks.
Zu An said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense."
"What?" The princess looked at him in disbelief.
Zu An smiled coquettishly: "It's nothing, I was just talking to myself. By the way, I met the Crown Princess just in time. I have something to ask you."
"I don't dare to ask for advice, but it's okay to say it, Master Eleven." The Crown Princess had a faint smile on her face, like a lively girl, which was completely different from the serious look she usually had in the East Palace.
Zu An asked: "Does the Crown Princess know who Sima Ouwu of the Xuanwu Sect belongs to?"
The Crown Princess frowned, waved her hand to keep the people under her hands away, and then whispered: "Why did the Eleventh Master suddenly ask him? Is it because he is related to the case you are investigating?"
The reason why she came here early in the morning was to get some information about the case from the other party, and she was worried that he would really find out what happened between her and Zu An.
Zu An replied: "Yes, there is indeed something fishy about it."
In his opinion, the Crown Princess and himself were naturally on the same side regarding this matter, and there was no need to hide it from him.
The Crown Princess's eyes lit up and she said hurriedly: "He is from the Qi King's faction, a direct henchman who was single-handedly promoted by Duke Qin Jiawei in his early years."
Zu An frowned, King Qi, Qin family?
Could it be that the Qin family caused this incident?
Let me go, these people in the Qin family must be too cruel to break up Chuyan and me.
Zu An felt depressed, raised his hands and said, "Princess, please forgive me, I have to go to Xuanwu Gate now, so I can't accompany you." After saying that, he was about to leave.
The princess said hurriedly: "I will go with you."
Seeing the doubtful look in the other person's eyes, she said with some embarrassment: "I am also a victim in this matter, and I want to see who harmed me."
Zu An did not doubt that with her energy, she could know that he was investigating her case. He nodded after hearing this, and then a group of people quickly rushed to Xuanwu Gate.
When they arrived at Xuanwu Gate, they found that there was no trace of Ou Wu at all. They asked the guards to inquire, only to find out that he had asked for leave these days.
Zu An asked: "On what specific day did you ask for leave?"
The guard thought for a while and replied: "It seems to be the third day since you came here to investigate."
Zu Anxin thought badly. This guy probably absconded out of fear of crime. The reason why he asked for leave every other day was probably because he was afraid that he would be too quiet when he came to investigate.
He hurriedly ordered the embroidered messengers who came after hearing the news to intercept them at the major city gates. However, he knew that there was probably no hope of intercepting them. However, he could investigate whether there were records of Ou Wu's entry and exit at the major city gates.
He led his people straight to Ou Wu's home in the inner city. The Crown Princess also wanted to go, but unfortunately she had trouble getting out of the palace, so naturally she couldn't go with him, so she hurried back to the East Palace.
"Where's Master Zu?" She looked around immediately after returning to the East Palace, but unfortunately she didn't see that familiar figure.
"Master Zu hasn't come today yet." A chamberlain replied cautiously.
The Crown Princess didn't say anything. When there was only one person in the inner room, she was so angry that she threw her pillows to the ground: "This bastard is unreliable at the critical moment!"
This matter was related to her reputation. She didn't dare to send anyone else to inquire. Who knew that the guy didn't come to work on time at the critical moment!
The anger value from Bi Linglong is +233+233+233...
Zu An, who was galloping on his horse, was startled when he saw the series of anger points coming from the background. He thought to himself, why did I make the Crown Princess so angry before I even met her in person?
"What's wrong?" Sensing his strangeness, Mi Li couldn't help but ask.
Now Mi Li is floating lightly in the air. No matter how the horse gallops, she can always keep pace with Zu An. I don't know how she does it.
Zu Anxin thought that it was lucky that others could not see her, and it was not night. Otherwise, if he saw a woman in red floating in the air in the middle of the night, he would be frightened and sick.
"Nothing," Zu An replied, "I was thinking about the case and always felt that this matter was a bit strange."
"It's a bit strange." Mi Li nodded. The two of them seemed to have thought of something and were not talking.
Soon after arriving at Ou Wu's house, a group of embroidered messengers rushed in like wolves and tigers, but they did not find Ou Wu, nor his wife and children.
"My wife and the young master went out to play in the city a few days ago."
"Isn't the master on duty in the palace?"
…
The servants and maids in the mansion all said the same thing.
Zu An frowned: "It's going to be difficult now. Xinrui's family couldn't be found last time, and Ou Wu's family probably won't be found again this time."
"That's not necessarily the case," Mi Li said in a deep voice, "Ou Wu is the Sima of the palace. His family should not be allowed to leave the capital easily in such a crucial department. At least in my time, the court would never allow such a thing. , I think the emperor who comes to this world should be similar."
Zu An hurriedly asked the men on the side and got confirmation as expected.
Then he immediately left some people to continue searching Ou Mansion, and then led others to Chongwenmen.
The capital is divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the imperial palace. Needless to say, the imperial city has royal gardens, ancestral temples, government offices, inner court service agencies, various warehouses and some military garrisons, etc. The inner city is often home to various people. There are dignitaries and rich and powerful people in society, while the outer cities are more ordinary people.
Relatively speaking, the inner city is more tightly guarded, while the outer city gate has a greater flow of people, so the guards are not so strict.
Therefore, if you want to check the entry and exit records of Ou Wu and his family, you can only check it at the gate of the inner city.
Although there are many gates in the inner city, each gate has its own fixed function. For example, some gates can only be entered and exited by the emperor's car, some gates are mainly used to transport grain and water, and some gates are used to enter and exit bricks. Made of stone and wood, some city gates are used to enter and exit armies, while others are used to enter and exit prison vehicles...
Most people enter and exit the inner and outer cities mainly through Chongwen Gate.
A group of people came to Chongwenmen. Some soldiers had already raised their spears in defense: "Who dares to ride a horse here..."
However, they soon saw clearly the attire of the embroidered messenger, and their expressions changed greatly. They hurriedly put away their weapons and saluted, "I have met you all, sir."
Zu An asked in a deep voice: "Who is the person in charge here?"
The soldiers replied: "Sir, the Sima of the Chongwen Sect is Lord Murong."
"Murong?" Zu An frowned slightly, could he be from the Murong family?
At this time, Mi Li said with a smile but not a smile: "It's funny, you just played with someone else's wife yesterday, and today your wife is with another man. Tsk, tsk, tsk, retribution is so fast?"
Zu An: "???"
He hurriedly looked up, and sure enough he saw a familiar figure on the tower, wearing an ice-blue dress, with a graceful back. Who else could it be if it wasn't Chu Chuyan?
