"Have you seen the faces of those thieves?"
Guo An suppressed the anger in his heart, interrupted these old men directly, and continued to ask.
"No!"
All the old men shook their heads.
"Those thieves kept their faces covered when they saw us!"
Guo An asked again: "Do you remember where you saw those thieves? How could our soldiers from Prince Yan's Mansion find those thieves?"
All the old men looked at each other, their eyes filled with resentment. Now that they had taken action, they no longer concealed it.
"When we went back to Guo Changshi, when we were summoned by those thieves, we rode in carriages all the way, and each time we sat for more than half an hour without knowing the direction."
"However, we remember that the thief's house is not very big, but the house and walls are very new."
"Also, Guo Changshi, those thieves have big dogs, at least seven or eight of them, and each one is very cruel!"
"Guo Changshi, no matter how the thieves' carriages circle around, we always feel that the thieves' lair is near Zhangjiawan Pier or in Tongzhou City..."
"Yes, even though they blindfolded me, I have lived in Tongzhou City my whole life and will never admit my mistake..."
After saying that, a group of old men quickly kowtowed to Zhu Biao and Zhu Di again. This time they meant it for real. Within a few moments, their foreheads began to bleed.
"The common people and others dare to insult and slander His Highness King Yan, and even deceive His Highness the Crown Prince. They deserve death!
Cao Min and others are willing to die to apologize, and also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Yan to save our family members. They are all innocent..."
"Please also invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness King Yan..."
"Okay, okay, stop knocking. I'll punish you again when we catch those thieves for your crimes!"
Zhu Di snorted coldly, and after stopping the old men, he looked at Zhu Biao aside.
"Brother, with my guards from Prince Yan's Mansion, it is difficult to find those thieves. Therefore, I would like to ask my eldest brother to order the Jinyi Guards from Beiping Mansion to take action and focus on searching Tongzhou and the houses within a fifty-mile radius of Zhangjiawan Pier."
Zhu Biao nodded slightly and looked at the officials below.
"Where are the Qianhu of Jinyiwei in Beiping Prefecture?"
No one answered for a long time.
"Um?"
Zhu Di frowned, looked at the officials, and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Jinyiwei Qianhu Pu Sanji didn't come?"
"Back to Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince does not seem to have summoned Qianhu of Jinyi Guards to come!" Below, Li Wang thought of something and reported quickly.
Hearing this, Zhu Biao's eyes flashed with embarrassment.
He seemed to have subconsciously forgotten about the Jin Yiwei of Beiping Mansion.
Zhu Di said directly: "Send someone quickly to summon Pu Sanji. Also, pay attention to whether there is anyone following you!"
"Here!"
Li Wang responded solemnly and walked out quickly.
Soon, two waves of guards from Prince Yan's Mansion headed towards the Jinyi Guards' Qianhu Station, one after the other.
And this will.
In Jinyiwei Qianhu's residence, Pu Sanji was also restless.
Although he is only a member of a thousand households, he is also a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. He represents His Majesty's eyes and ears in Beiping Mansion.
Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has summoned all the governors and experienced officials from the Chief Envoy Department, the Inspectorate Envoy Department, and the Chief Eighth and Seventh Grade officers, but he has not given any orders to the thousands of households in the Imperial Guard.
With this kind of treatment, it is difficult not to make people doubt that His Highness the Crown Prince has all the opinions of the thousands of members of the Jinyi Guards in Beiping Mansion.
Fortunately, Pu Sanji and a group of hundreds of households just waited anxiously for a while in the Qianhu Office.
There were guards from Prince Yan's Mansion, and His Highness the Crown Prince summoned them.
Pu Sanji and the thousands of households couldn't help but be overjoyed.
However, the guard told him solemnly, "His Royal Highness King Yan has given an order to ask Pu Qianhu to secretly send someone to follow us to check if there are any thieves following us!"
"Um?"
Pu Sanji and the other hundreds of households suddenly looked solemn.
They are all too familiar with this flavor of conspiracy.
The guard said again: "His Royal Highness has the same intention!"
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
Pu Sanji responded quickly, turned around and said to a hundred households beside him: "Dong Jin, take more than ten brothers, put on linen clothes, and follow me!"
"Here!"
The Dong Jin Baihu responded hurriedly.
Immediately, he walked down.
When Pu Sanji and several hundred households followed the guards of Prince Yan's Mansion and walked towards Prince Yan's Mansion, there were more than a dozen ordinary ordinary people behind them.
However, these ordinary people have steel knives hidden in their waists.
…
"The humble minister Pu Sanji meets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yan!"
After entering the main hall, Pu Sanji felt something strange, but Prince Zhu Biao and King Yan Zhu Di were sitting above them safely, which made Pu Sanji relieved.
"Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
As Pu Sanji stood up, Zhu Biao said with a solemn expression: "Pu Sanji, during the past few days when I was patrolling Peiping, some thieves were acting secretly, kidnapping the family members and grandchildren of these old men, and threatening these few The old man used his life to slander King Yan, do you know about this?"
What bastard came out to cause trouble for him?
Pu Sanji was startled and said quickly: "Your Highness, please forgive me. I was underestimated!"
Zhu Biao said: "In this case, you should inquire carefully and cooperate with the guards of Prince Yan's Palace to find out the culprits behind the scenes for me. Especially the family and grandchildren of these old men must be rescued!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Pu Sanji responded quickly, and then asked the old men carefully again.
Jin Yiwei deserves to be in this line of work. When asked questions, he is much more detailed and comprehensive than Guo An.
Even after asking, he directly locked several places in the thief's house.
In response, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di directly asked Pu Sanji to lead people to search.
At the same time, two thousand guards were sent out from Yanshan, and Zhu Biao also sent Cao Zhen with a hundred guards.
Just when Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and others were dispatching their troops aggressively.
In a courtyard in Beiping Mansion.
A group of people are also gathering together in secret.
"Those old men have been brought into Prince Yan's Mansion!"
"Those officials from the Procuratorate and Envoys Department have already gone to Prince Yan's Mansion with the petition written by us personally!"
"Hmph, even if those old men's clumsy frame-up was discovered by King Yan Zhu Di, even the prince would not believe it...
However, as long as those old immortals die directly in Prince Yan's Mansion, it is best to die at night and inexplicably...
Once this matter spreads out, King Zhu Di of Yan will definitely commit a heinous crime. "
"At that time, everyone in the world will be speechless. No matter what, the capital master will definitely punish Zhu Di!"
"Zhang Qi, have the people who delivered the letter to the capital been sent out?"
"Li Gong, the student is going to wait until the commotion in Prince Yan's Mansion is completely over before sending him out, so that he can feel more at ease!"
While several people were discussing, a housekeeper came in from outside.
"Master, just now Prince Yan's Mansion summoned Pu Sanji, a member of the Jinyi Guards family... In less than a stick of incense, Pu Sanji hurried out with several Jinyi guards!"
"In addition, Yanshan Guard Commander Tang Yun also personally led a group of Yanshan Guard generals towards the Yanshan Guard camp!"
"Hmph, those old immortals are really useless!"
"Mr. Li, what should I do?"
"There is no need to panic. Those immortal children and grandchildren are all raised in our house. As long as they don't want to annihilate their descendants, they will never dare to talk nonsense!"
"But Mr. Li, the students are always a little uneasy. Those Jinyi guards are all dog-nosed. As long as they get a little taste, we will be in danger..."
"What are you worried about? Beiping Mansion is so big, no matter how powerful the Jin Yiwei is, can he still find us in these few days?"
"By that time, the capital had already become noisy, and the emperor was shocked. After a thorough investigation, we can't believe that these vicious dogs of the Imperial Guard in Beiping Mansion have not colluded with King Yan in the past few years...
Even if these vicious dogs don't have the courage, someone from the capital will greet them so that they don't dare to search randomly! "
"Li Gongming is wise!"
"It's not that I am wise, but that Zhu Di actually wants to occupy such a huge benefit from trade with Goryeo. He doesn't even think about how virtuous and capable he is..."
"Okay, I will send someone as soon as possible to spread this news to the capital. If those people in the capital take action earlier, the incident in Peking will be over sooner!"
"Yes, Mr. Li, the student will send someone to deliver the letter now!"
"In addition, wait until all the officials in Prince Yan's Mansion have dispersed, and then send people to secretly go to the Inspectorate and Chief Envoy to inquire."
"Yes, Mr. Li!"
…
at the same time.
The atmosphere in Beiping City immediately became tense.
In the past, those missing Jinyi guards all started patrolling the streets of Beiping City.
The people accompanying him include all the government officials in Beiping City.
In addition, there are hundreds of Jinyi guards and a group of Yanshan guards heading to Tongzhou.
In a tea shop, seeing this scene on the street, several tea-goers suddenly looked curious.
"Why are there so many Jin Yiwei on the street today? Could it be that something big happened?"
"Yeah, it's been a year since I've seen so many guards and government officials patrolling the streets!"
"Could it be that His Highness the Crown Prince..."
While several people were talking, suddenly there was a burst of discussion from the tea table nearby, which immediately attracted the attention of several people.
"I heard that several old men from Zhangjiawan Pier in Tongzhou took blood letters and ran outside the Yan Palace to complain!"
"Why is it the old man from Zhangjiawan Pier in Tongzhou again?"
"They are all complaining to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Go to the Palace of Prince Yan to complain to His Highness the Crown Prince? Your Highness, Prince Yan, and the others in Beiping Mansion are so jealous of evil, why don't you complain to His Highness Prince Yan?"
"Tsk, what if I go to sue King Yan to His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Ah? How is this possible?"
"Have you seen these royal guards and government officials outside?"
"What does this have to do with it?...Huh? Is it possible..."
"Shhh, keep your voice down! I heard that there was another secret behind the land expropriation and relocation of Zhangjiawan Wharf...many common people's fertile land was forcibly expropriated by King Yan. It seems that there are even many common people who were expropriated by Yan. The officials of the royal palace were beaten to death...
The family is broken up and everyone is dead...it's really miserable! "
"However, everyone in Prince Yan's mansion, including everyone in Beiping Mansion, is kind to people and never bullies the people!"
"You are so naive. In this day and age, what can't those powerful people do for some money? Especially, that one is still a prince. No matter how much he does, the officials in Beiping Mansion don't dare to take care of it..."
"Hiss...that's what you're saying?"
"As long as you know and I know, His Highness the Crown Prince is wise and wise, and he should not protect King Yan..."
"But...ah!"
Before the man could finish speaking, he jumped up with a look of fright on his face.
On the whole person's head, there is a piece of tea leaves, which is steaming.
