Yesterday, the Secret Intelligence Division broke into an official's residence. Today, there were many impeachment memorials. This organization had always had a mixed reputation. At a critical moment, there was no lack of people hitting someone when they were down. The court was in turmoil. Even if there were clues, they couldn't break into the Minister's residence again.
After the capital's magistrate, Liu Dayou, received the report from the madam of the Jade Courtyard, he considered the special nature of this case and asked the princess as quickly as possible. After receiving the order to search the Qin Manor, he rushed over with the bailiffs of the county yamen.
Among the many bailiffs, the person leading them was a burly man. His face was filled with anxiety as he urged the bailiffs to hurry up.
Li Manor.
Wu Er scratched his head and said to Li Yi, "Milord, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back first."
Li Yi thought for a moment, looked at him and asked, "How did Qin He know that Qin Yu captured a girl and brought her into the manor?"
"I don't know either …" Wu Er shook his head and said, "Fifth Lord only told me to save Xiaomei and that girl. I don't know how Fifth Lord found out about this."
Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid he already knows about you. You don't need to go back … Haven't you always wanted to go to the Liu Meng? You can go there now."
Wu Er smiled and said, "There's no hurry. I still want to go back. Maybe I can be of some use …"
Li Yi hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Next, there may be some unrest in the Qin Family. Be careful."
"I know." Wu Er nodded. "I'll be going back first."
In front of the Qin Manor.
Liu Dayou politely bowed to Qin Yan and said, "This is an important matter. This official has already asked the princess. Please cooperate, Milord Qin."
Qin Yan's expression was unsightly as he questioned, "Yesterday, the Secret Intelligence Division barged into the Qin Residence, but Lord Liu actually brought bailiffs here today to arrest people. What kind of place do you think the Qin Residence is? Is it a place that you can enter and search as you please?!"
The expression on Liu Dayou's face was very polite. He said again, "There are witnesses who saw that after the young lady was kidnapped, she entered the backyard of Qin Manor. It's not that I don't believe you, Lord Qin, but this case is really too important. It's also related to another big case that even His Majesty is very concerned about. I really have no choice but to do this …"
"Let them search." Qin Yan wanted to say something else, but an elderly voice came from behind him.
Qin Xiang waved his hand. There was no joy or anger on his face. "Since it wasn't done by the Qin Family, what harm is there in searching?"
"But, if we let them enter, where would the face of my Qin Family be …" He retorted. Seeing that Qin Xiang's face was still expressionless, he gloomily looked at Liu Dayou and said, "Lord Liu, this official can let you in. If you can find that woman in my Qin Residence today, I, Qin Yan, have nothing to say. If you can't find her, then tomorrow in court, Lord Liu will have already prepared an excuse."
"Thank you, Lord Qin." Liu Dayou cupped his hands and turned his head to order, "This is the Qin Residence. You can search, but do not act rashly …"
Under the lead of the large man, more than ten bailiffs filed in.
"Trash, how could there not be? Could it be that she can grow wings and fly out of the residence?" Qin Yu's face was gloomy as he coldly asked.
A Qin Family servant shivered and said, "Little High Duke, other than the Prime Minister's room, we've already searched the entire Qin Residence, inside and out. We really haven't found that woman. It's possible, it's possible that she really has escaped!"
"Escaped? What do you think this Qin Residence is?" Qin Yu suddenly threw the teacup over. The servant let the teacup hit his head and didn't dare to dodge. He didn't even dare to wipe the blood that flowed down.
At this time, another person ran in from outside in a panic and said in panic, "Little High Duke, it's bad. The government has come to the Qin Residence to search. They said that we've captured a woman …"
Qin Yu coldly glanced at that person. "When you captured her yesterday, did someone see you?"
That person's expression changed. "No, no …"
Qin Yu thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "If they want to search, then let them search …"
The Qin Family servant raised his head and asked carefully, "Little High Duke, what if they really find her?"
Qin Yu looked at him coldly. "If they really find her, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs."
…
Wu Er hurriedly walked into the room and said, "Fifth Master, the capital magistrate has brought people over."
Fifth Master Qin glanced at him and asked, "Why are you back?"
Wu Er said in surprise, "I came back after reporting to the government. Where else can I go?"
Fifth Master Qin's gaze stayed on his face for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's not important … The two girls have gone out from the back door. The county government's bailiffs will find them."
He clasped his hands behind his back and walked out of the courtyard.
Wu Er asked in surprise, "Fifth Master, where are you going?"
"Going out for a walk." Fifth Master Qin didn't look back but waved his hand behind him. "I'll walk alone. You don't have to follow me this time."
Wu Er stopped. After touching his head, he nodded and said, "Okay."
The bailiffs searched carefully in Qin's Mansion. They were very patient in the face of some uncooperative people. After all, this was Qin's Mansion. Even if Lord Liu didn't specifically instruct them, they didn't dare to act rashly.
However, many servants of Qin's Mansion looked at them from a distance, pointing at the group of people and talking.
Wu Er walked over leisurely with his hands behind his back. He pointed at the bailiffs and said, "This is the yard of the Second Master. How can there be people hiding here? Be careful. Don't break anything. You can't afford to pay for it …"
The leading man's face darkened. He pointed in a direction and said, "Go over there and find them!"
"Over there. That's the residence of the Third Master. The Third Master is a fifth-level official in the imperial court. He's very honest. It's impossible for him to hide people."
"Go over there …"
"That's the residence of the servants. You can go if you want. Anyway, I don't think it's a good place to hide people."
The leading man looked back at him and asked, "Then where do you think it's a good place to hide people?"
Wu Er shook his head and glanced in a certain direction. "Then how do I know …"
The leading man pointed at that place and asked, "What's that place?"
"That place …" Wu Er glanced at it and shook his head. "I don't know …"
After saying that, he walked away leisurely.
The leading man suddenly waved his hand and pointed in that direction. "Search!"
In a deserted garden in the backyard of Qin's Mansion, the bailiffs found two women behind a rockery.
When one of the women saw the man dressed as a bailiff, her face lit up with joy. She took two quick steps forward and then stopped. She knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice, "Your Excellency, you must seek justice for me!"
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the people of Qin's family who followed them changed greatly.
Some people in the distance looked even more frightened.
They had searched this place many times just now. There was no one at all!
…
"Little Duke, it's bad. They found the woman in the backyard!" A servant of Qin's family rushed into Qin Yu's residence and said in a panic.
Qin Yu clenched his fists and his face was extremely gloomy.
The servant said anxiously, "Little Duke, it's better to hide first. You won't be able to leave in a while!"
Qin Yu looked outside, loosened his clenched fists, and turned into the backyard.
In the capital, when night gradually fell, a dry well in the courtyard of a house two streets away from Qin's Mansion suddenly lit up with a faint light.
The rope tied to a tree outside the well swayed for a long time before a figure climbed out of the well with difficulty.
He looked back at the well and said in a low voice, "Hurry up. Take advantage of the darkness to go to the Cui family."
In the courtyard, a figure who had been sitting for a long time sighed. "Why did you come so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time …"
Qin Yu suddenly turned his head. "Who is it!"
He only saw a vague figure in the darkness and suddenly felt a pain in his neck. His whole body weakly fell to the ground.
