"This is the house?" There were also gray circles on the ground, sprinkled along the silhouette of the dead man, and Joan counted them, and her eyes fell on the face of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded again and again, "Girl, where did you come all the way, you have to help, this matter is not over, I can't do this deal." Hearing this, Joan motioned to the shopkeeper not to interrupt his thoughts.

She stood at the window and looked out for a moment, then withdrew her gaze and said arbitrarily: "That person must still be in the imperial capital." ”

"Girl, the person brought by General Cheng said the same thing before."

"The man is still on this street." Shen Qiaoan touched his chin, and the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and said, "But General Cheng didn't say that, General Cheng said that the man escaped with impunity." ”

Joan smiled, she said this as her own evidence, she pointed to the window, "Was this window open before?" ”

When the shopkeeper looked at it, he noticed that there were footprints on the windowsill, and he seemed to gradually understand it.

"Who kind of person is the girl?" The shopkeeper's frowns and follows suit.

"Less nonsense! Our girl can answer whatever you want, and talk so much nonsense! Sister Hong looked at it and shouted, and the shopkeeper was so frightened that she closed her mouth.

Shen Qiaoan continued to ask, asking some seemingly inconsequential questions, but this question was a key one.

She asked the people specifically about their food and daily life after arriving at the inn, which was originally a small talk, but Joan found that they were very good at eating spicy food, which undoubtedly revealed something.

Following this clue, Shen Qiaoan asked Sister Hong's people to dress up as ordinary diners and scatter around the inn on Jiuzhi Avenue, and soon they inquired about some special guests, and the object of their investigation was a combination of a man and a woman, or a combination of men and women.

This night, Sister Hong gave the news back to Qiao An, "I found two suspicious characters, but they are both men, it is said that a man never goes downstairs, delicate, is a white-faced scholar, I let the little second brother look at Gao Yupan's portrait in private, it matches!" ”

No matter what she did before, Sister Hong acted alone, but since she met Qiao An, she has been doing things with a lot of discussion, and in many things, Qiao An has a level of insight that is higher than her.

"It's easy to startle snakes when the movement is too big during the day, but act at night!" Joan placed a flask in the center and moved her glass.

"Sister Hong, I'm tired of letting Cai Wei and Cai Ge a few girls come in."

After a few maids received the order, they began to rectify.

On the other side, Li Zhongxuan also arrived, and he was also sure that the assassin had not left Jiuzhi Avenue, and he was more of a Qinglou, but he soon locked on the Penglai Inn.

That night, around the time of the incident, General Cheng dressed up as a little second brother and hid a fish intestine sword to deliver the meal.

Li Zhongxuan waited for news in an inconspicuous guest room on the first floor.

At this moment, Qiao Ann and their red ladies have approached the inn one after another.

"Let's go! Success, not failure! Joan ordered.

The red ladies are different from the court soldiers, they fly the eaves and walk the wall, and surround the inn like an iron bucket.

In the inn, an arrest has been launched.

"Ahem, guest officer, deliver dinner." General Cheng lowered his voice and imitated the second brother.

"Come in."

Sister Hong was already lying on the window, but she soon saw a person on the bed, who was wearing a man's curly robe, lying on his side facing inward, motionless, almost indistinguishable from a corpse.

Sister Hong wanted to wait for the little second brother to leave before acting, but the little second brother was a poor mouth, and asked a lot of questions, the man became suspicious, held the copper basin and splashed the hot vegetable soup on General Cheng, and in an instant, the man lifted up the woman on the bed.

"Dog slave!" After this person scolded, he flew out of the window, if it wasn't for Qiao An's words to "catch alive" first, they would have succeeded at this moment.

"Changyingwei! Catch up! The little second brother didn't know when he had already grabbed a mace and went outside, and in the night, the man grabbed Gao Yupan, who was crying, and had already leapt to a roof far away from them.

That man was a martial artist.

However, he couldn't calculate that Shen Qiao'an's carriage was directly below him.

"Up!" Qiao An gave an order, and several red ladies rose from the ground and approached the person in an instant.

"Don't come again! Grandma's! The man spat out, "Come closer!" I'll kill this delicate concubine. ”

"No, don't!" Gao Yupan's face was colorless, and he looked at the person in front of him in fear, Sister Hong and General Cheng arrived one after another, the two looked at each other, and Sister Hong was slightly stunned.

"How are you?"

"I'm going to ask, you're not in Shaoqu Country, why did you get here?" Both were puzzled.

"There's no time to explain, let's take this person down!" Sister Hong pointed to the person opposite, "Quickly release the noble concubine, we have something to say." ”

"One more warning! If you go any further, I will really be unkind to the noble concubine. The man grabbed Gao Yupan's throat, and Gao Yupan's tears rippled.

She motioned for the crowd not to come forward.

At this moment, the man held two ash bags and threw them down, and a foul smell rose with the mist, and everyone never imagined that there was such a hand, and hurriedly crouched on the ground.

When the smoke disappeared, and then chased out, the person had already disappeared on Jiuyi Street.

Sister Hong looked up and down, except for the pure moonlight on the roof, there was no one in sight, there were people selling in the streets and alleys, everything was calm, and she couldn't see where the person had gone.

"It's all your big man's business that spoils me!" Sister Hong cursed in a low voice, and let the red lady withdraw her troops, seeing that she was nine out of ten, but let people escape under her nose.

General Cheng approached the carriage with a sneer, lifted the curtain, and thought that Shen Qiaoan was inside, but the carriage was empty.

"Where's Joan?" General Cheng was dumbfounded.

"What Joan is not Joan's, I don't know." Sister Hong is not very used to lying, and her mouth is suddenly red.

Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and after General Cheng went back, he told Li Zhongxuan about the encounter with Sister Hong on the road, and Li Zhongxuan sighed for General Cheng's failure, "What? And let them escape? ”

"In the end, the success will be lost, and the sin deserves death!" General Cheng was extremely ashamed.

Knowing that Sister Hong was still in the imperial capital, Li Zhongxuan was overjoyed, Sister Hong and Qiao An have always had a good relationship, and they can't leave Meng.

Lee Joong-sun began to investigate Jo An's actions, but found nothing to find him.

Qiao An also found out about General Cheng that day, and she left with Huan'er in advance.

The Red Ladies were detained in the imperial capital for this case, and their whereabouts were soon exposed, and General Cheng immediately reported to Li Zhongxuan.

Li Zhongxuan found Sister Hong, and finally indirectly learned of Qiao An's hiding place, Sister Hong had hoped that the two of them would reunite after breaking the mirror, and they would be happy to do things like threading the needle.

This night, as soon as Sister Hong stepped back, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Sister Hong must have gone and returned, and the slave went to open the door." Huan'er smiled and went to the door, but in an instant her face changed.

After coming back, he said in a trembling voice: "Miss, it's not Sister Hong, it's the emperor who is here." ”

"Li Zhongxuan?" Joan got up and said worriedly, "I'll go from the backyard, you can block it." At present, she doesn't want to see Li Zhongxuan, and she doesn't even know what to say to Li Zhongxuan.

Li Zhongxuan came in through the front door, and Qiao Ann had left through the back door.

"Joan, Joan!" Li Zhongxuan went to the house to look for it, but he didn't see Qiao An.

"Where have you been?" Li Zhongxuan stared at Huan'er.

Huan'er naturally found an irrelevant seat to prevaricate, and Li Zhongxuan had no choice but to retreat.

After Li Zhongxuan left, Sister Hong went to the backyard and saw Qiao An with her back against the door, her eyes staring at the cold moon in the sky.

"Okay, why avoid it?" Sister Hong approached Qiao An, "I see that people have you in their hearts." ”

"It's all you!" Joan frowned.

Sister Hong defended herself twice.

Three days later, Li Zhongxuan found Sister Hong and asked Sister Hong to say a few kind words and be accommodating, Sister Hong found that Shen Qiaoan was really angry after the reckless arrangement last time, and this time she didn't dare to call the shots, so she hurriedly dodged.

Li Zhongxuan had nothing to do, waited for the rabbit, and finally found Huan'er who came out to buy vegetables.

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Poisonous day! "Huan'er has never seen such an infatuated and absolute person.

"Let me meet her." Li Zhongxuan began to plead, so frightened that Huan'er kowtowed again and again.

"Don't pester the slave maid, the slave maid has gone grocery shopping!" Huan'er gritted her teeth and left immediately.

But on the next two days and the third day, Li Zhongxuan was waiting for her at the entrance of the alley, Huan'er and Li Zhongxuan looked up and didn't look down, nodding their heads every day, Li Zhongxuan was not in a hurry for quick success, he knew that Qiao An was here, and he was satisfied.

He knew Joan's temperament better, and he would not take rash action before he said peace.

Finally, Huan'er told Jo Ann about it.

"What? How many days? Qiao An got up and was about to go to the alley to see Li Zhongxuan, Huan'er hurriedly chased after him, but Qiao An walked to the door and stood still, discouraged: "I won't go, you can bring this umbrella to him." ”

Huan'er gave a Meng Zong bamboo umbrella to Li Zhongxuan, and Li Zhongxuan pleaded again and again, and finally Qiao An's side was relieved.

"Joan, I'll come and see you." Li Zhongxuan stood outside the door, this was their agreement, not to meet, only to chat.

After a long time, a familiar greeting came from the room, "Has the emperor come up?" ”

"I want to see you."

"Don't break your word! I said it was okay before. Qiao Anjiao snorted, Li Zhongxuan was helpless, and could only nod.

"How are you doing?"

There was no answer in the room, there was silence for a long time, and a cold laughter came out, and the topic ended, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, you should go back to the palace early, don't waste time here!" As for the matter of the noble concubine, I will help you investigate to the end. ”

He wanted to meet her, but this short meeting made him feel Qiao An's coldness, and Shen Qiao An told him that taking the initiative to participate in the investigation of Gao Yupan's disappearance was not for him, but for Di Jing, and she didn't want to see this matter develop maliciously.

Li Zhongxuan was helpless, and it was not good to break into the door in a hurry, so he could only leave.

He walked for a long time before she came out of the house, her eyes were melancholy, Sister Hong raised her eyebrows and approached Qiao An, "Don't wronged me, this time it is definitely not me who is ventilating the news, he has begged me many times, and I have not promised to bring him to see you." ”

"It's none of your business." Joan sighed.

After Li Zhongxuan went back, he was depressed, and he couldn't let anyone make suggestions for such things.

As for Shen Qiaoan, when Li Zhongxuan left, she was also full of sorrow and thought a lot for a while.

In the middle of the night, Qiao An had a nightmare, and the dream was still a scene of forcing the palace back then, and when she woke up, she was in a cold sweat.

Sister Hong heard the movement next door and hurriedly came over to appease her, Shen Qiao'an's eyes were dumbfounded, and her hands were trembling.

Later, Li Zhongxuan also looked for Sister Hong and Huan'er, but both of them took a detour and never dared to take him to see Qiao An.

Shen Qiaoan is still investigating Gao Yupan's affairs.

This night, Sister Hong brought in a person, that person was the informant they found by chance during the investigation, the informant was in his fifties, with a dusty face, Qiao An asked many questions and the person didn't speak.

"Dumb you?" Sister Hong frowned and pushed the man, "Where is the spirit spirit that was talking about it just now?" ”

Qiao An looked at the man's mung bean-like eyes, as if he knew something, took out ten taels of silver, and after seeing the silver, the man immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube and told the matter.
