Chapter 380: Chasing and interception

The news brought back by Liu Yuan further confirmed her speculation. Zheng Wei felt that she had to go to the ghost house no matter what.

But only the three of them broke in with about twenty guards and could only die. Zheng Wei asked Liu Yuan to send a letter to Mu Wu and came with Qingwei Shi with good skills. Xiao Yucheng had already ordered Han Ji to bring a small team of guards in the mansion, and dozens of people rushed to the ghost house with the ten guards who had been following Zheng Wei.

As for the city patrol and dispatch, it was not something that Zheng Wei could do. She could only send people from Qingwei to the palace to deliver letters.

The group arrived outside the haunted house, and Xiao Yucheng was responsible for the command. Most of them stayed outside and surrounded the entire mansion to ensure that no one broke through and escaped.

The three of them brought a small team of guards to the back wall of Liu's mansion. Several of them cut off the thorn bushes and prepared to climb over the wall.

Zheng Wei tried his best to climb to the wall and checked the yard. The yard was covered with weeds and had not been maintained for many years. The pavilion and corridor were corroded and mottled. This looked like the yard was silent, quiet and lifeless, unlike a sign of someone living there.

She frowned and looked at Xiao Yucheng. Could it be that she was wrong?

Xiao Yucheng suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a pile of things in the corner of the courtyard opposite, as if flies and insects were wandering back and forth again.

Flies and insects like to eat scavenges or whatever it is, it means there are living things in this yard!

The three of them looked at each other, and led everyone to jump off the wall, and then made a "bang" sound after falling to the ground. The three of them immediately rolled on the spot and hid in the grass beside them.

They waited motionlessly for a moment, and there was no movement in the room, and no one came out to investigate the situation. Zheng Wei stood up first and walked forward lightly. Xiao Yucheng and Liu Yuan quickly followed.

Zheng Wei and Xiao Yucheng broke into the main house and saw the residue on several tables in the house. She was happy first, and then she slammed.

With so many people making such a big noise, the other party did not respond at all. There are only two possibilities: either they evacuated or were silenced!

If he silenced his mouth, he would naturally see people dead and corpses. Zheng Wei touched the porcelain bowls on the table, picked up a chicken bone and smelled it, and said in a solemn voice to Xiao Yucheng: "Warm!"

"Go out and have a look!" Xiao Yucheng also understood what had happened. He couldn't bear to say it, so he could only pull her out outside.

At this time, everyone else came to report, "Prince, General, there are traces of people living in the remaining houses, but we searched for a few times but couldn't find anyone."

It was obvious that those people had left before they came, but they left in a very hurry, and they didn't even have time to take away the clothes and dry food they had changed.

Zheng Wei went to the kitchen to see it. The ash at the bottom of the pot was a little thick, and the stove had residual heat. Obviously, he had been cooking in the fire these two days, but he had never been discovered.

What made her even more annoyed was that she was just one step late!

Han Shidi comforted her, "It seems that she hasn't walked for long, so she shouldn't run far. If you seal the neighborhood, you will definitely force them out!"

Zheng Wei was worried, "How could we, just dozens of people, seal such a big place?"

"Did you forget that all the yamen runners and soldiers from Jingzhao Mansion were sent to patrol and register from house to house? There should be many people nearby, so they were transferred to respond to the emergency. As long as we were fast enough, we should be able to do it!"

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go!" Zheng Wei broke out after hearing this, and Han Shidi, who had not finished speaking, had no choice but to chase him out helplessly.

When Zheng Wei stood in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture soldiers, he realized that this was not something that could be done in just one sentence. These prefecture soldiers had tasks and did not dare to leave their posts without permission and followed Zheng Wei to encircle the Great Wei fine work.

Even Xiao Yucheng could not order them. Zheng Wei stomped his feet in anger. If she took out the token given by Emperor Zhou directly, although it could mobilize them, it would cause greater trouble later, so she could not expose it outside unless she had to.

Do you want her to watch Awan be taken away by the people of the Great Wei again, but she is helpless?

No, you must not give up this opportunity. If they escape this time, it will be difficult to find clues about them.

She had a bigger worry in her heart. Today's incident was definitely not a coincidence, but someone informed them, and these talents left in a hurry.

As for the identity of this traitor, she had no idea. It was like a firecracker hiding around her, and it exploded at some point, hurting others and yourself!

Zheng Weizheng was at a loss. Han Shidi asked the young general led by the mansion: "Yujie, Chengxiang, Chengyang, and Chengqing are within the scope of your patrol today, right?"

The leading young man bowed his hand and replied respectfully, "Yes, the last team will be in these streets today."

He did not intend to make things difficult for General Xiao and Princess Danyang. However, the situation in Jiankang City is now difficult. Without Jingzhao Yin's order, he and his brothers would be severely punished.

"Then you take your brothers to block several entrances and exits of these four streets in the name of checking the population, and no one is allowed to pass. Originally, your Jingzhao Mansion was responsible for searching the city's detailed work, and this is your scope of your duties. Even if Lord Li knew about it, he would not punish you. Do you think this is good?"

"Okay, I know, and no one will be allowed to leave our guard!"

After the leading young general received the order, he sent people to block the entrances of the four streets.

Zheng Wei and Xiao Yucheng took their people to approach the inside little by little. They had to search carefully every time they passed by, but this place was mostly the residences of court officials, and it was not smooth to go in and search.

Zheng Wei could only endure the anger and comfort himself. It was difficult for him to search for people like him, and it was not easy for the people of the Great Wei to hide it in.

She forgot that she also made a cover-up today, and it would be difficult for her to recognize her unless she was close to her. Moreover, every search only said that she was from Qingweisi and did not indicate her identity. Naturally, the concierge refused to let them go in easily.

Fortunately, the person who went to the palace to deliver the letter came back and brought his Majesty the secret order, so that the Qingwei Department could do things cheaply, and the various residences cooperated with the Qingwei Department to search.

The search of Zheng Wei and Xiao Yucheng suddenly became smoother, and outside the encirclement, Han Shidi also received news. Qingwu came back to report: "Langjun, you are so amazing! The people hiding in the ghost house ran out, and Princess Danyang and General Xiao arrived. However, those people seemed to be trapped in the city. I wonder if they could escape the search of Princess Danyang and the others. Should we send someone to help them again?"

Han Shidi shook his head, "If you intervene, you will easily be caught. Find a way to send a letter to Xiahou Qing of the Siyiguan. Whether you can escape depends on their luck!"

Xiahou Qing didn't expect that there were Han Shidi's people in the imperial guards. After receiving the letter, he was a little anxious but couldn't escape from the Siyi Pavilion for a while. He couldn't help but feel anxious.

Princess Zhaoyang is an important bargaining chip for him to negotiate with Emperor Zhou. If he loses this time, he is afraid that he will be in danger of his life.
