A leader of the van soldiers quickly ran in from outside and said, "Lord Fuzun, Chen Erwang has searched Hefeng Mansion and just returned. ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "Didn't you find that the Su family is small?" ”

Chen Erwang said: "Except for dozens of shopkeepers in Hefeng Building, I have never seen anyone else hiding in Hefeng Building. ”

"How is that possible? Are you waiting for a search? ”

"I searched the inside and out, upstairs and downstairs, and even the ice cellar where they stored ingredients and vegetables went down to look through it, and there was no outsider."

Zhu Shiyong said angrily: "This is strange, can't it fly?" Isn't the female owner of Hefeng Mansion in the building? ”

Chen Erwang said: "I went to the backyard to search, only five or six women and children guarded a boudoir, but I didn't see the Yan family's daughter, and I didn't dare to make too much of it, after all, it was the residence of the Yan family's daughters, so I ......."

"Bastard, what kind of female dependents are not female dependents, you are acting on official business, and you are not deliberately harassing, where do you have so many concerns, so you didn't search the boudoir in the back carefully enough?"

Chen Erwang bowed down and said, "It's just a matter of roughly checking the inside and out. ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "No, immediately take someone to search carefully, since the daughter of the Yan family is not there, it will be easier to do." ”

Chen Erwang had to turn around and walk out, Yang Yi couldn't sit still, and shouted: "Chen Du is slow!" ”

Zhu Shiyong frowned and said, "Commander Yang, what are you doing?" has already scared the snake, and if you delay it at this moment, if the person runs away, can you be responsible? ”

Yang Yi said: "Lord Prefect, I have to remind you that you are disturbing the female dependents and property of the family of the Lord of the Three Divisions, and I ask you a question of the Lord of the Three Divisions, what is the reason why you are determined to arrest Su Jin without evidence, and even the Lord of the Three Divisions is not in your eyes?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said coldly: "Commander Yang, the more you talk, the more presumptuous you become, this government is investigating the case of the escape of the Xishan bandits, but it is to handle official business, you are timid and afraid of things, but for Zhu someone, he has always adhered to the dogma that the prince violates the law and the people are guilty of the same crime; Whether it's the Yan family or Su Jin, as long as it has something to do with this matter, how can this government retreat because of this? You can rest assured that if there is any blame from above, this government will not implicate you in the blame. ”

Yang Yi sneered: "The Baoxin Army is a soldier under my Yang Yi's command, how can I escape if something happens, I hope that the prefect will speak from the bottom of his heart, but anyone will say it verbally, and if something really happens, I am afraid that it will not be said." ”

Zhu Shiyong walked with his sleeves and said: "This mansion doesn't have time to talk to you, you love to be suspicious, so you think slowly in this hall, this mansion is going to get people." ”

After that, he stepped out of the door, and the whole team of soldiers gathered at the gate of the yamen shouted orders, and went straight to Hefeng Building; Yang Yi's face turned pale, and after thinking about it, he stepped on the horse and chased after him.

……

Hefeng Lou was turned inside and out, the back of the elegant hall and Yan Biyun's residence were not spared, the prefect was in charge, the soldiers were unscrupulous, rummaging around in the boudoir, brocade was silk curtains, incense, calligraphy and paintings, potted plants were thrown everywhere, a good boudoir became a garbage dump after the search, a mess.

But except for those trembling maids and rough maids-in-law, there was no trace of Su Jin's family at all, and Yan Dong's family naturally couldn't see it.

Zhu Shiyong's eyes were red, this time he was a dead end, if he didn't understand this matter, he wouldn't be able to explain all this to the third envoy Yan Shu in the future, in fact, there was no need to explain it at all, because he didn't know if there was a future.

But after searching all over the city, I didn't see Su Jin's family, nor did I see Yan Biyun, who was closest to him, how could this be good? Everyone withdrew from the Hefeng Building and stood in line on the street.

Zhu Shiyong looked at the light of day, his heart was restless, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "All the soldiers are divided into two teams, one team from east to west, and one team from south to north, even if you use a grate to give me a grate, you must search all the houses in the city again, don't let go of any inch, you must find the Su family who escaped or the female owner of Hefeng Building; This official tells you, don't take chances, if you can't find it before dawn, you will continue to search during the day, if you can't find it for one day, if you can't find it for two days, you will search for two days, in short, if you can't find someone, you can't stop. ”

The soldiers looked at each other, tossing all night, it was dawn, and they couldn't live in peace, the prefect was crazy? Everyone was anxious, and their stomachs began to mumble and curse their mothers; Zhu Shiyong glared and shouted: "If you don't hurry up, what are you waiting for?" Do you want to carry the sedan chair in this house, please do it? ”

The crowd slowly squirmed reluctantly and lined up, and a timid voice sounded from the corner: "That...... Lord Fuzun, are you saying that you are looking for the female proprietor of this Hefeng Building? ”

Zhu Shiyong scolded: "Are you deaf? Didn't the official say it clear enough? ”

The man hurriedly said: "I went to Beicheng to search just now, and I seem to have seen that Yan Dong's family in a house. ”

Zhu Shiyong was ecstatic and hurriedly said, "Really? Is it that he is twenty years old, and he is very beautiful? ”

The man: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Zhu Shiyong raised his hand and slapped the man in the mouth, and scolded: "Why didn't you say it earlier? What are your intentions? ”

The man was pumped around, his cheeks were hot and painful, and he laughed and said: "I don't know that the lord is looking for this woman, and the humble post has just brought people back to the palace, and I heard that the yamen stayed behind and the official sent me to wait here to listen to the dispatch of the adult, and I just arrived, how do I know?" ”

Zhu Shiyong was unwilling to admit his mistake, and said angrily: "Hugh has to quibble, quickly lead the way, how many people are there?" ”

The soldiers all covered their heads and cheeks and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Old and young, young and old. ”

Zhu Shiyong said happily: "Yes, it must be Su Jin's family where the family is, that Yan Biyun is alone, with some entourage maids, where is the family of the old and the young, this matter is not wrong; You immediately lead the way, and after taking someone, the house will be rewarded. ”

The soldiers all turned their heads into joy, regardless of the pain and redness of their cheeks, and hurriedly shouted at several of his subordinates to gather and lead the way to the north, Zhu Shiyong followed with a large group of men and horses, and after a while, he came to the corner in front of the house in Beicheng; Nadu stopped and pointed, "It's the mansion." ”

Zhu Shiyong seemed to have a smile on his face, and said: "It's still a separate courtyard, it seems that I am afraid that people will find out, so I will immediately surround this house, and I must not let one go." ”

……

The companion of the Yan family's lookout had just informed Yan Biyun of the news that the officers and soldiers had gone and returned, and there was already a noise of footsteps outside, and in the blink of an eye, the house had been surrounded by hundreds of regiments.

Everyone panicked and gathered in the hall to look at Yan Biyun, waiting for her to speak; Yan Biyun knew that he couldn't panic at all, and the more panicked he was, the more panicked everyone would be.

The situation is extremely dangerous, there are soldiers besieging the front and back, Zhu Shiyong is menacing and looks like he is going to make a desperate bet, the only thing he can rely on is the identity of the Yan family, so he can only delay it and see if there is a turnaround.

But Yan Biyun also knew that since Zhu Shiyong had turned his face, he was afraid that his identity would not be able to scare him, if he let him take the Su family away from his hands, then how could he explain to Su Jin; Moreover, Zhu Shiyong will take Su Jin's family as a hostage, force Su Jin to hand over Chen Laogen and the letter that is false, and then destroy the evidence, only saying that when the fugitive was arrested, he mistakenly detained the Su family, and if he quarreled with it, there would be no fatal punishment for Zhu Shiyong.

That's not all, in case Mrs. Wang and the handmaiden of the Su family fall into the hands of Zhu Shiyong, as long as there is an accident, Su Jin will never believe in himself from now on, and the relationship between himself and Su Jin will be completely over.

Yan Biyun thought about it very clearly, she made up her mind that she would not hesitate to fight to the death at a critical time, and she must not watch Mrs. Wang being arrested in her hands; But at the same time, this decision means that there is no luck tonight, relying on a dozen or so companions under his hands, wanting to protect the women and children in the house is tantamount to a fool's dream.

The courtyard door clattered, and someone shouted: "The people in the house opened the door quickly, and Lord Zhu, the prefect of Luzhou, personally led the troops to search for the fugitives, and smashed the door to enter without opening the door." ”

Yan Biyun was dressed and walked out of the hall to the courtyard, Xiao Sui'er Rou Niang and the others followed closely behind her, all with solemn faces, knowing that they would not be able to pass this pass today, but they were only panicked, but they were not timid.

"Is it Lord Zhu, the prefect of Luzhou, outside the door? The slave Yan Biyun is polite. Yan Biyun went straight to the door and reported to her home.

Zhu Shiyong laughed dryly and said: "If it is really the female owner of Hefeng Building, this house is polite; The government didn't want to disturb Miss Yan too much, and opened the door for me to wait to search for the fugitives from the Xishan Quarry Field, and then left. ”

Yan Biyun said with a smile: "Governor Zhu said that he was joking, how could the fugitives from Xishan be in the slave house, and the soldiers had come to search for it just now, didn't they return to you?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "This government naturally knows that the fugitive is not in Miss Yan's courtyard, and this government has got a clue that the escape of the death row prisoner in Xishan is somewhat involved with some people in the city, and this government is actually here to get these people." ”

Yan Biyun chuckled and said, "The prefect is saying that I, Yan Biyun, am the accomplice who assisted the death row prisoner to escape?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "How dare you, Miss Yan is naturally not, but the person under the protection of your wings is not necessarily." ”

Yan Biyun said: "How do you say this? ”

Zhu Shiyong sighed and said: "Miss Yan, you are a smart person, it is useless for you to delay time, let me tell you the truth, Su Jin is the one who colluded with death row prisoners to escape, how can you shelter his family?" Quickly open the door, and let the government take the small family to force the escaped Su Jin to the case, you don't know about this matter, and the government will not embarrass you. ”

Yan Biyun was silent, and suddenly said: "Governor Zhu, you said that Su Jin was implicated in escaping from death row, is there any evidence?" ”

Zhu Shiyong said: "Miss Yan, how can you talk about major government affairs casually, and after the trial is cleared by this government, the truth will naturally be revealed to the world." ”

Yan Biyun sneered: "It seems that the Zhu Governor's Mansion has no evidence, and it is really confusing to come and take people without evidence." ”

Zhu Shiyong said unhappily: "Miss Yan, this government has given you enough face, this government assures you in the name of one of the parents, this government has evidence that Su Jin is related to this matter, and you try your best to protect the suspect's family, I am afraid that it will damage your uncle's reputation, or open the door quickly, otherwise this government will offend." ”

Yan Biyun said hesitantly: "It's a big joke in the world, how can anyone use his identity as a guarantee to prove the guilt of others without evidence, if you want to say this, the slave family uses the identity of the third envoy uncle as a guarantee to guarantee that Su Jin is not involved in this matter, can it?" ”

Zhu Shiyong looked angry and shouted: "The feelings are to use the three divisions to suppress the official, but the mansion doesn't eat you, that's all, the mansion is no longer polite to you, you are a woman who is restless and guards herself and came to this troubled water, no wonder the mansion." ”

Zhu Shiyong took a breath, gritted his teeth and shouted at the soldiers around him: "Smash open the courtyard door, go in and get people, if there is anyone who resists, there will be no mercy!" ”
