Chapter 172: Missed
No matter how big the west city of Yanjing is, these people have great magical powers and can be investigated in at most half a day.
As for the Regent, he just needs to stay in the warm carriage and wait for his subordinates to report, and he can arrest people.
Sure enough, only half an hour later, subordinates came to report.
"Your Highness, I found that Censor Mu had a yard on Longchang Street. I found that the blood had just left behind near the yard!"
Although Mu Xiuji's yard is not his own name in the filing of the official office, how could this twists and turns be hidden from the eyes of the regent's minions?
Upon hearing this report, the Regent put on a mighty bear-skin cloak, stepped on his handsome sweat-hearted horse, and headed straight towards Mu Xiuji's yard.
Behind him, two teams of guards like tigers and leopards, were following him, and he would beat the streets like this. Anyone who saw it would know that it was not easy to mess with, so how could he dare to stop him?
The Regent and his party arrived at Mu Xiuji's villa without any obstacles.
The Regent's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Fill this yard first, and no fly is allowed to run out!"
The guards responded loudly, and soon they organizedly divided the team into five squads, one of which went to break through the door, and the other three squads guarded around the yard, and the remaining squad followed His Royal Highness Regent.
The Regent was "smart and conspiring". He did not believe that Mu Xiuji would not be prepared. Since he could take someone away under Qin Tianhua's nose, it means that this person is very "thief". Maybe he had already made arrangements before they found this place.
However, no matter how you arrange it, you cannot become a living person and turn him away in an instant.
If you want to send Shen Yuntang away in advance, you must have to take various "small paths", so you can't let go of a dog hole around the yard!
The Regent looked solemn. Today he was going to catch a turtle in a jar to see how the child escaped from his palm.
Shen Yuntang was not used to wearing a slim skirt at first, but she was a girl in modern times. She was already used to wearing a skirt when she left Mu Xiuji's yard.
She closed both sides of the hood and covered half of her face so that the strong wind would blow the hood off directly.
Although I forced myself to remain calm, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous on my face.
She turned her head and looked at the back door of the yard. This was a place where people watched the nightshade every day to collect the night fragrance. The road was narrow and half blocked by the heavy snowfall that fell for half a day and night. It was difficult for people to walk, let alone cars and horses. If the guards arrived now, they would not have gone around here to guard the gate.
Shen Yuntang thought about this, but she didn't dare to stop and walked out of the alley. She stepped on the thick white snow, and the snow had passed through the ankles. Fortunately, when she came out, she changed into a pair of deer-skin boots, which prevented her shoes from getting soaked.
But before he could take two steps, Shen Yuntang heard the neighing sound of horses accompanied by the muffled sound of horse hooves, and the sound of people talking from time to time.
Her heart sank, and what she feared the most was still happening.
The guards actually walked around the small door behind the yard! Hearing the sound, it was obvious that they came prepared.
Shen Yuntang's body was trembling nervously.
The voices were getting closer and closer to her.
When she lowered her head, she saw the light yellow secret skirt embroidered with flowers and blooming in wealth, and instantly came to her senses.
She is wearing women's clothes now and has a face retouched. She looks completely different from the past. If it weren't for the Regent's personal arrival, the other guards would definitely not recognize her, and even Qin Tianhua would not be able to.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuntang calmed down again.
So, instead of focusing on the horses behind her, she walked intently and quickly, trying to leave the vicinity of the yard as fast as possible.
The Regent took five Jingwei around to the most inconspicuous wooden door behind the yard.
Two guards walked in front of the horse, three guards guarded the back, and five defended the Regent in the middle.
The headed guards not only guard but also play the role of a forward.
He waved his whip and rushed to more than ten meters in front. He glanced at the yard and found nothing suspicious.
But after a glance, I saw a young woman walking in the snow forty or fifty meters ahead.
The woman was wearing a fluffy hood and her clothes were cute and playful. At first glance, she looked pink, blue, goose, yellow, like an elf in the snow. She was walking in the narrow alley, reflected by the black walls and white snow, like the only color in the world, which made people couldn't help but want to take a second look.
The guard seemed to be fascinated by this color for a moment. He couldn't help but take a horse and walked forward two steps, and shouted again, "The girl in front! Miss!"
Chen Yuntang heard the shouts not far behind him, and his body stiffened and couldn't help but look back.
Seeing that there was only one palace guard riding on a horse, her stiff body was almost frightened.
She exhaled, turned her head quickly, and accelerated her pace towards the corner ahead.
The girl in the distance heard the guard's shout and looked back at him.
The pure eyes that were as frightened as a deer, with a bright nose, red lips, willow-leaved eyebrows, and black hair slightly scattered on both sides of the ears and temples. The woman's face suddenly captured the guard's soul, letting him ride on the horse and stand still in place.
The woman who suddenly appeared in the alley was like a goddess from a snow mountain, stole his heart in an instant.
The guard felt that he was in love and found the woman he liked the most in his life.
The other guard who was walking in front rushed over and frowned and asked, "Did you slap? What are you shouting? Your Highness is still behind. If you are alerting the snake, you will ask me if you go back!"
The guard was yelled to his senses by his colleagues, and touched his red and rough face. "I just saw a girl in the distance of this alley, so I shouted. She looked back at me and looked so beautiful. When your highness is finished, I will definitely take a leave to find her nearby and marry her home as a wife."
"Be serious, there are no girls in this deep alley path. I think you are crazy about women. Even if there are, there are mixed people here, and you will not be a good family."
"It's really there, right there. Look, she hasn't turned the corner yet!" the guard argued.
The Regent was only ten steps behind them and rushed over with his horse. After hearing the guards' words, he looked in the direction the guards pointed, and saw only a light blue figure. The girl was about to turn into the alley in the distance. At this time, she looked back and saw that the next second, she suddenly disappeared from the corner like a frightened rabbit.
The Regent frowned. Although he couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, he could tell that the woman had a good temperament and figure. No matter her face, it was a good match among women of the right age. No wonder he and his picky guards all took a look at it at first sight.
