The Favoured Medical Princess

Chapter 479-Captive

Mrs. Qiao's eyes were already filled with tears, and she could no longer see the arrogance of ordinary days.

Zhennan Wang appeased: "Sister, don't worry first. As long as Sister Lan is still in this city of Luoyue, even if heaven goes to earth, this king will also find her out."

Qiao Ruolan disappeared...Nangong Yue frowned slightly and couldn't help remembering what happened yesterday.

Nangong Yue's thoughts turned fast, stepped forward, and then blessed her body and said: "Father, my daughter-in-law and sister Fei went to the tea shop outside the city, and I met cousin Lan. Cousin Lan told us that she I found a pharmacist to buy the medicine and promised to get it today. I don’t know if this matter is related to the disappearance of Cousin Lan."

"It must be!" Madam Qiao seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and could not wait to respond. "Sister Lan went out early in the morning and must have gone to see the drug dealer!" She stepped forward, firmly. Grabbed Nangong Yue's arm, "Concubine Shizi, what does that drug dealer look like? Where are the people?"

"Aunt, I have never seen the drug dealer." Nangong Yue simply explained the ins and outs of the matter. "Father, aunt, and the helper of the tea shop should have seen it. It is better to call into the house and ask the painter to draw a portrait. It’s easy to find people..."

Mrs. Qiao had no idea long ago, only knowing that even claiming to be good.

The king of Zhennan decisively placed two orders, one was to summon the women of the helpers and the painter of the government to enter the palace, and the other was to make the guards of the palace look for people in the city.

This night, Luoyuecheng, which was supposed to be in a curfew, was turbulent, and countless torches were burning and shining.

On every street in Luoyue City, a team of people patrolling around with torches, the streets, city gates, and towers are all brightly lit, reflecting like a white night.

The guards holding the torches patted the door one by one and searched everywhere.

Although the guards of the Wang Mansion did not look like a conscript, nor had an official position, they were sent by the Wang Mansion to say that they had to be searched. Ordinary people could not follow.

The whole Luoyue City was uneasy, only knowing that it seemed to be looking for a young girl and a middle-aged man with five senses and genius-the identity of these two people must be very important, otherwise it would not alarm the Zhennan Wangfu night search.

Knocking on the door, cries of exclamation after another, this is destined to be an unstable night...

Unconsciously, the night faded, the sky had become brighter, and the royal guards were busy all night, almost turning the entire Luoyue City over, but they still couldn't find the trace of Qiao Ruolan.

Not only did the guards stay awake all night, but even the southern palace of Zhennan was brightly lit until dawn.

"Master, people haven't found it yet." The long guard kneeled down on one knee and bowed down on the ground, bowing and bowing, because he hadn't slept all night, and there was a heavy shadow under his eyes.

King Zhennan hadn't spoken yet, and Madam Qiao had shouted hysterically: "Find! Give me to continue searching! People must still be in town!" She didn't know whether she was persuading others or herself.

King Zhennan knew that the elder sister was worried about her daughter, and she did not care about her, and she said to her, "Stop looking for Ben Wang!"

"Yes, Lord."

The chief of guards bowed his head and retreated, not daring to raise his head, until he withdrew his breath from the outside study.It seems that before finding Cousin Qiao, don't want to get a good night's sleep!

As soon as the chief of the guards left, Mrs. Qiao said: "Brother, seal the city, it must be sealed! No one is allowed to enter or leave Luoyue City! Sister Lan must be still in the city." She was already crying with swollen eyes and terrified. Uneasy: Once the daybreak, the city gate opened wide, let the thieves escape, then the earth is big, where should I go to find my daughter!

The King of Zhennan hesitated for a moment, and according to the Dayu law, unless there were special cases such as invasion by foreign enemies or rioting by mobs, under normal circumstances, the city could not be closed at will.The closure of the city is not just the city, but also the people's hearts. One is not good, causing people to panic, and it will not end well in case of civil unrest.

"Brother!" Madam Qiao's tears dripped again, her voice hoarse, "Sister Lan is my only daughter, your sister-in-law and niece! Can't you just ignore her safety!"

After a moment of meditation, the Zhennan King said righteously: "Sister, it is absolutely impossible to seal the city completely. At most, you can only strengthen the patrol at the city gate and strictly detect the people who entered the city." I hope that suspicious persons can be found.

Mrs. Qiao knew that this was already the decision of the King of Zhennan after giving in. She shed tears, and then urged: "Brother, you must tell the city gate soldiers to find out those who entered the city. I can only rely on you. "

King Zhennan immediately called Chang Sui into the house, and after a series of orders in front of Madam Qiao, he followed some good news and said that he finally persuaded Madam Qiao to return to Qiao's house and wait for news.

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

But the people in Luoyue City found that the nightmare of last night was not over. This time, not only the guards of the palace, but also patrol officers and soldiers walked on the street from time to time, which is called "three steps and one post, five steps and one whistle." The people were unconsciously affected, shrouded in an atmosphere of panic and tension.

Some people simply choose to stay behind closed doors for fear of getting into trouble, but not everyone can do this. Many poor people who are living for their livelihoods must still go out and go out of town.

At the gate of the city, there were two long queues early in the morning. One team was out of the city, and the other was into the city. No matter when leaving or entering the city, they had to be questioned and inspected by the soldiers of the city gate.

The city gate soldiers received the above orders, and all of them checked the scores strictly, and large and small items and even a vegetable basket were turned upside down.In order to prevent someone from disguising out of the city, a bearded man with a big beard was even pulled by the soldiers to ensure that it was a real beard. Those young women were also carefully compared with a portrait of a girl...

In contrast, the teams entering the city are still slightly faster than those leaving the city. The guards mainly check whether there are any suspicious characters that may be the kidnappers’ associates.

Looking at the city gate soldiers one by one, they all looked like black faces. The people waiting in line to enter and exit the city were all chilling. They didn't dare to leave the atmosphere. They could only wait patiently for the team to advance like a snail.

...

"...Princess Shizi, today the tea shop outside the gate of the North City ordered the prince to shut down. Now people entering and leaving Luoyue City should be strictly inspected, and the people are very uneasy."

Listening to the report from Queer, Nangong said slightly: "What do you say over there at the tea shop?"

"Aunt Zhang of the helper won the cousin's two or two silver rewards. From time to time, she will tell the cousin about our tea shop, but they are just some trivial things. This time it is also she who sells anti-heat medicine. Going out." Queer said the news of the inquiry back. "The cousin the day before yesterday came to the tea shop half an hour earlier than the princess of the world. I specially waited for the merchant who came to sell the medicine and did not negotiate the price. , Just bought all the medicine, and then asked to get the medicine yesterday."

Nangong Yue lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Does the merchant know that it was the royal cousin who bought the medicine?"

Queer stunned and shook her head: "I don't know the slave-maid." She recalled what the helper said, and said, "When the merchant came, Aunt Zhang greeted him, and the others heard him asking if the master of the tea shop was here, and then he said The girl passed..."

Nangong Yue was silent for a moment, and opened her lips: "This is a coincidence. I'm afraid this group of people came to me."

Several maids looked at each other, and of course they would not doubt Nangong Yue’s judgment. Queer even said nervously: "The slave-servant quickly went to let the Zhu steward strengthen the protection...... Princess Shi, let's call Baihui back from the elder girl. ?"

Nangong Yue raised her hand and motioned for them to mute and immerse herself in her thoughts.

It is not a secret that the Zhennan Wangfu was buying antipyretic drugs in Luoyue City. Of course, it was for the application of dozens of tea shops throughout southern Xinjiang. But in the end, it still made people feel that they needed urgent antipyretic drugs.

When someone comes to sell anti-sunstroke medicines, they lead themselves out, and then do the thing of exile by selling medicines. This link is indeed a matter of course.

It's just that Qiao Ruolan's act of fighting for the wind, but instead let "them" mistake her for herself...

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

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

Nangong Yue wouldn't think that he was involved in Qiao Ruolan. After all, the same thing was replaced by himself, not necessarily easy to take the hook, not to mention, there was a dark guard on the side, and it would not fall into the passive like Qiao Ruolan. situation.

It's just... who is it?

Acting at such a big risk, shouldn't it just be for money, could it be... for profit?

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

Could it be that the Nanliang people tried to captive themselves to coerce Xiao Yi?!

Nangong Yue's hands clenched into a fist, and the more she thought, the more likely she became, and she asked slightly: "Go and see if the lord is not in the house, and say I have something to ask for."

In a few moments, Queer went back and forth, and the King of Zhennan had not yet returned to his house.

Nangong Yue nodded and went straight to the outer court. Zhu Xing was ordered to make him arrange to stare more.

Zhu Xing responded in a sudden order and hurried away.

The rigorous investigation of Luoyue City continued, unconsciously when the hot sun was empty, the hot summer day, whether it was soldiers who defended the city, or the people who queued in and out of the city, they were about to be sunburned, but the tea outside the north gate The shop was also closed, and it was difficult to get a cup of herbal tea, but just a few mornings, there were several frail elderly and children who suffered heat stroke.

In front of the soldiers, the people did not dare to speak out, fearing that they might cause trouble, but once they left Luoyue City, there were a lot of complaints.

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

"Li Erzhu, it's so late. Are you still going 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 was investigating it early this morning, and I have to check it when I enter and leave the city. If I can’t go to the city, I just come back. My old lady still needs medicine."

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

"Who knows, I heard that I started to check since last night..." Li Erzhu was more and more annoyed. "Those who are officials like to be blind and tossing. It is not the ordinary people who are suffering."

"I said Li Erzhu..."

...

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

Their group had just arrived in Maofeng Town not long ago. This place is not far from Luoyue City. This long journey is really hard. Everyone is a bit of a servant. Officially, Bai proposed to rest here for a while and wait for tomorrow morning. Then go to Luoyue City.

Maofeng Town is just a small town, with a lot of people attracting some attention. The official language sent Li Yunqi to them. They first went to Xun Inn to relocate, and they walked slowly along with Primary Four.

Unexpectedly, it had unexpected gains.

Strict investigation?

What happened to Luoyue City?

The official language can't help but frown slightly.

"Son!"

Xiao Si didn't care about Luo Yuecheng. What he cares about most now is that this hour, the son hasn't used lunch!Finally, after Dr. Lin's diagnosis and treatment, the son's body got better. This ghost in southern Xinjiang is stuffy and hot. If you don't take a good rest and eat, what if you get sick again!

Poor Elementary Four, an imprudent warrior, soon became an old mother for his son.

Under the staring eyes of Xiao Si, Guanyu Bai finally took a step and whispered while walking: "You go tell Fengxing and let him go to Luoyuecheng to explore."

This time when I came to Luoyue City, Primary 4 was in the bright, and the wind was dark. Even Li Yunqi did not know the existence of wind.

Of course, in addition to these two people, the official language Bai also has some manpower, so it follows more secretly.

Xiao Si got the order, whistled softly, summoned the wind in the dark, and then spoke with his lips.A short time later, 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 town. .

After leaving Maofeng Town, the popular horse immediately flew on the horse, slightly pinched the horse's belly, and the black horse rushed out like a black lightning, leaving only a piece of flying dust.

Maofeng Town is the closest town to Luoyue City. It is popular all the way all the way, and it only takes half an hour to reach the north gate of Luoyue City.

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

Under the wind and decisive horse, led the black horse, pretending to hurry to the gate of the city.

Fengxing lined up to the end of the team, and then sighed deliberately: "Hey, the team is so long, in the end it will be the Monkey Year of the Monkey." Then, he said to a plump middle-aged woman in front, "Sister, you Do you know what happened? I didn’t need to check when I came a few days ago."

When Feng Xing laughed, the dimples on his cheeks were exposed, which made people feel uncomfortable after seeing it, especially attracting the love of the elder aunts and aunts.

"Yeah, I don't know what's going on now." The middle-aged woman frowned and complained, "I've waited for a column of incense."

The aunt in front of them heard their conversation, turned around and whispered: "I heard people say that it seems that the Wangfu is looking for two people, one of them is a girl..."

"Yeah!" Another person echoed. "I heard that, and I heard..." She looked around carefully, whispering, "It's our royal concubine who stole the man, Eloped with someone?"

The news was so powerful that a few people immediately gathered around. You said it to me as if it really happened.

They talked hilariously, but they could hear it. This was nothing but rumors. Most of them didn't really know what happened.

The wind and motionlessness, while talking casually with the people around, while slowly advancing with the team, gazing at the direction of the city gate from time to time.

Pedestrians have to check, luggage has to be checked, and carriages have to be searched inside and out. It took half an hour to get popular, and then they did not move forward.

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

Fengxing naturally saw it, and I don’t know which family was driving a pallet wagon and was about to transport a black paint coffin out of the city.

The chauffeur was a middle-aged man with gray hair who shyly shouted at the city gate: "Junior, this is from a family in Maofeng Town, they are rushing to use it... This hot day, if Don’t hurry, I’m afraid it’s going to stink.”

The soldiers of the City Gate were also secretive, but this time it was a matter of great importance, and it was not at all negligent.

Chengmen Bing frowned and said, "Open the coffin!"

A young man sitting at the side of the coffin bowed his head and bowed his fist: "Sir, it's just a coffin, isn't it?"

"So much nonsense! Go on one side!" The gate soldier waved angrily at the young man.

The young man stumbled under his feet and hit the coffin. His arm accidentally touched the coffin lid. Hearing the click, the heavy coffin lid was knocked off by a quarter.From the point of view of the guard, you can see at one glance that the coffin is empty and contains nothing.

Dirty, so desperate!

The City Gate soldiers waved impatiently, sternly: "Let's go! Let's go!"

"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Grandpa!" The young man quickly moved the coffin cover back, and the driver immediately pulled a whip, and the carriage drove slowly out of the gate, further and further away...

Fengxing stared at the far away carriage for a while, squinting his eyes.

The city gate soldiers even had to check the coffin... things should not be simple, let's go back and give the son back to life!

"Hey, it's so hot, when will this wait! I'll come again someday."

Feng Xing said helplessly, withdrew from the team, and led the horse back in despair.

On this day, many people could not bear to wait in line and gave up entering the city. The soldiers were so busy that they did not care to look at him more.

After riding on the horse, he ran all the way and returned to Maofeng Town in a short time.

Following the signs left by Xiaosi all the way, it was popular outside a hotel, followed by a big tree, and climbed into a certain room.

"Son."

With a smile on his face, he greeted the Mandarin with a white fist, and when he saw the cold water prepared on the table, his eyes lit up, ignoring Xiao Si's disgusting gaze, and he swallowed it.

The official Mandarin Bai smiled slightly, and Wen Yan asked, "Can you find something?"

Feng Xing put down the cup, and quickly came to see what he saw and heard on this trip, "...Son, Luo Yuecheng should be looking for a girl. Now when entering and leaving the city, at least a long-time team is needed, everything must be checked, just Not even the coffin, if the coffin lid was accidentally knocked open, maybe the gate soldiers would have to push it by themselves!" He said dryly and drank two more glasses. cold water.

The official language Bai Ruosi thought, tapped his finger gently on the table, and then said after a moment: "Was that coffin to be sent to Maofeng Town?"

"The partner who sent the coffin said so." Feng Xing asked curiously, "Son, what's wrong with this coffin? It should be empty, or they won't let them go."

"The timing of this coffin opening is too coincidental." The official said Bai, standing up and saying, "Primary 4, let's go down and walk..."

Guan Yu Bai and Xiaosi went out, and thought slowly that his son was not a targetless person. Could it be that there was something wrong with the coffin?He hurried out of the window again...

After leaving the inn with Xiaosi, Guanyu Bai slowly walked all the way to the mouth of the town, looking like a leisurely one, and bought paper fans and dried fruit along the way.

When I reached the entrance of the town, I sat down casually in a tea shop on the street.

The sour plum soup came up soon, and Xiao Si's ear moved, looking towards the mouth of the town.At the end of the official road, you can see a pallet carriage coming rapidly 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 entrance of the town, and drove past the tea shop unhurriedly. At one time, many people on the road looked around and pointed.

The official language looked at the carriage and the coffin on the carriage without any trace... His eyes fell on the rut left by the carriage, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

After the carriage drove by, the official language white compared with a gesture of catching up with the popularity of watching the drama on the roadside. The popularity nodded and flexibly mixed into the crowd, chasing the carriage...
