Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 258 Manhunt
"Has every place in the city been searched?"

Qin Shao asked solemnly.

"My lord, we have basically searched everything! Except for the guards of the palace who searched the whole city, Fang Fang has already sent people to guard the gate of the city, and no stranger has been released."

Yuan Zonggao reported back.

No stranger was ever let out, and Zhu Houcong did not have an identity document, so he should still be in the city.

"My lord, please see me!"

Several people were talking, and there were guards outside reporting at the door.

"Let him in!"

Qin Shao glanced at Yuan Zonggao and saw him nodding.

Knowing this direction should be very close to one's own people, so there is no need to shy away from it.

And earlier, he also knew that the direction was closer to King Xing. The reason why he was able to be re-elected in Anlu Prefecture was recommended by King Xing.

Yuan Zonggao was obviously very familiar with Fang Fang, he talked to Qin Shao, and went directly to the door to meet Fang Fang.

"The next official pays homage to the prince."

Fang Xiang walked in quickly and bowed. He was wearing casual clothes, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to the previous years when Anlu Zhoubao was in war.

"Master Fang, please sit down."

Qin Shao asked Wang Yin to move a chair for Xiang Xiang to sit down.

When Xiang Xiang raised his head, he glanced at Qin Shao, his eyes were full of surprise.

This son looks so much like the prince!
Xiang Xiang remembered the situation that Lu Lianxian reported to him a few years ago, he didn't care at all at that time, thinking about it, he was really careless.

After knowing the real situation, he still couldn't be sure that the young son who participated in the war to defend Anlu Prefecture and was a junior in the imperial examination was Zhu Houxi, the eldest son of the prince.

It's all too suspenseful and unbelievable.

After knowing the real situation, he was really shocked and frightened, and then calmed down.

Even though this matter is very big, even if it is a bit of a lie, it's just that he has long been tied to Xing Wang's mansion and became a grasshopper on a rope, that's all he can do.

Especially that Prince Yuan actually reported the prince and himself, if that guy really escaped, he and King Xing would be finished!

Even though they didn't have any rebellious circumstances, if someone was dismissed, the identity of King Xing would be placed under house arrest at most, and the consequences for them would be disastrous.

In the past few days, he didn't dare to sleep fully. He searched for people all over the city, but there was no trace, and his throat was so anxious that it was almost smoking.

As soon as he heard that the son was back, he brought people to Xing Wang's mansion. He only hoped that the son would be decisive and capable of finding that Zhu Houcong, otherwise...

"How's the situation with Master Fang?"

Qin Shao asked directly.

"My lord, we searched for a few days and set up heavy defenses at the gate of the city, but we haven't found anyone."

Fang Xiang said with some discouragement.

"Tomorrow, gather 2000 soldiers and divide them into 20 groups. Each group will be equipped with a soldier from the Palace Guards who knows the person. The whole city will be searched again, and no corner will be missed. The reason is that someone stole the prince's grandmother while the palace was on fire. Green Night Pearl."

Zhu Youzhu really had an emerald night pearl, which was paid by Persian merchants. When he was in the feudal clan, Xiaozong felt sorry for this brother and asked him to go to such a bad feudal land to reward him.

Later Xiaozong felt distressed, but the things had already been rewarded, so naturally it was not easy to get them back.

This thing is precious, and it was rewarded by the emperor, so the value is naturally increased.

This night pearl is as bright as a candle at night.

When Qin Shao was studying at home, the weather was hot and candles were burning. Zhu Youzhu felt sorry for his eldest son and wanted to give Qin Shao his emerald night pearl.

"Forget it! It's so precious, if you leave it here, I have to find someone to take care of it. Once it's lost, it won't hurt enough, and it will only increase the burden."

At that time, Qin Shao still felt that Zhu Youzhao was instigating, and he only said to use it, not to give it to himself, and taking something is a treasure, and taking it out to use is not much different from a candle.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this method is very good. Before we sent people to search, we didn't dare to make a big show of it, fearing that too many soldiers would surprise others. If we use this method to search, it will be justified."

The direction applauded directly.

It has long been heard that this new son is decisive in killing and attacking, and has outstanding abilities. This is really neat.

……

Day two.

Anluzhou City is in a tense atmosphere.

"My lord! Our poor family only has these tile-roofed houses. It is so far away from the palace, how could we go there, and we have never seen a night pearl. We don't even know what a night pearl looks like in this life."

Seeing a team of officers and soldiers searching the corners of the dilapidated yard of their house, someone cried with a sad face.

"What nonsense! It's safe without you! As long as you're innocent, you have nothing to fear, just go away!"

the soldier yelled impatiently.

Hearing the reprimand, the man stopped arguing and stood aside obediently, allowing the soldiers to search.

"Officer, we are all girls here, how can we be thieves? Let alone go to a place like the palace!"

Looking at the ferocious officers and soldiers, the old lady went to a leading general tremblingly and flattered her.

"Go away! I don't like the smell of your makeup! Girls can't go, what about those whores! Search for me, but any male, no! As long as it is a male, don't let me go, check one by one! "

"Yes!"

The old lady flinched and quickly stepped aside.

She knew that something was lost in the palace, and it was a reward from the emperor. This is a big deal!

Not to mention she's an old lady, it's useless for their oiran to beg this officer and soldier. What people care about now is getting promoted and getting rich.

In the face of getting promoted and getting rich, what do women care about!
With those, the women here take their pick!
"Is there any situation?"

"none!"

"Is there any situation?"

"none!"

"No discovery on East Third Street!"

"Nothing was found on West Fourth Street!"

"There is nothing to discover in Nanyi Hutong!"

With a sound, the search situation in various places was reported.

Qin Shao, who was standing in a restaurant room, looked out the window with a solemn face.

Yuan Zonggao, Zhu Chen, Xiang Xiang and others sitting in the room looked anxious and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

"Grandpa?"

Wang Yin walked to Qin Shao's side worriedly.

I saw Qin Shao looking out the window and going out to the street downstairs.

"Go! Go! Although we recruit women here, you look like a man, let alone come to help, just don't scare the female customers away. Let's go! Go quickly, you Physique goes to Qiaotou to help move the goods, maybe someone else will ask for it!"

At the door of a rouge shop, a middle-aged woman drove a shabby, fat daughter and said.

"You...you bully people, I...what's wrong with being fat and ugly? Have you eaten your rice? You only look for beautiful ones, and if they are beautiful, they will definitely sell well. Let me tell you that those girls who buy goods also like plain looking ones. , I... I can also make incense! You are a dog who sees people as inferior!"

"You man!"

"You dog eyes!"

The two began to curse at each other, and gradually many people gathered around them.

"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!"

Qin Shao said loudly suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Xiang and Yuan Zonggao stood up at once.

"We missed the search! It is impossible to find it, it must have missed the search! Inform someone to come over and search again immediately, search again!"

Qin Shao said directly.

"Search again? How to search?"

Yuan Zonggao and Xiang Xiang looked at each other and looked at Qin Shao in puzzlement.

"Grandpa, do you think..."

Wang Yin looked downstairs and seemed to understand something.

Qin Shao and Wang Yin glanced at each other and laughed, knowing that they must have thought of something.

"Send the order! Search again for me!"

After listening to Qin Shao's explanation.

Yuan Zonggao and Xiang Xiang looked at each other clearly, yes!Why didn't they expect this situation!

Search!Have to search again!
