From Zhu Gaochi's words, although it was not explicitly stated that Xu Miaojin kept sneaking out of the Xu Mansion for her own sake.

But Zhu Ying could guess it easily.

"Guo Zhong, immediately send an order to the military and horse divisions of the five cities to seal the major city gates and prohibit anyone from leaving."

"I obey the order."

"Song Zhong, immediately order the Jinyi Guards to launch a search from the Xu Mansion to Prince Yan's Mansion. The whereabouts of Miss Xu must be found in the shortest possible time."

"I obey the order."

Zhu Ying issued two orders in succession. The first was to seal the city gate.

If we were to go out of the city and search for a person in such an environment as in ancient times, it would be too difficult and it would be difficult to achieve any results.

For example, human traffickers have the most hidden channels, and some even collude with officials, so they are very well-informed.

Even with the technological means of later generations, there are still many fish that slip through the net, let alone the current Ming Dynasty.

All I can say is that once you are slipped out of the city, everything depends on your fate.

Zhu Gaochi felt relieved after hearing his elder brother's order to seal the city gate.

The reason why he rushed over so urgently was because he wanted to find his elder brother to block the city gate.

This is the capital. Generally speaking, only the emperor has the authority to issue orders to block the city gates, but now Zhu Ying can be said to have some of the emperor's powers.

Zhu Gaochi also didn't expect that his eldest brother could directly give orders. This made him somewhat understand while he was still breathing. Today's eldest brother is almost half an emperor.

There is no big difference from the previous uncle.

"Have you contacted people from the Xu Mansion? Please tell me carefully about the situation at that time. These human traffickers are so audacious that even people from the Xu Mansion dare to touch them."

Zhu Ying said.

In fact, in ancient times, human traffickers were considered low-end. Many human traffickers did not use privateering channels, but paid to buy people.

They are all organized in nature. From buying people to selling people, there is a complete chain of interests in the middle. Many of them are ordinary people who cannot survive, selling their sons and daughters.

These human traffickers mainly collect people from poor areas and then resell them to big cities.

For example, many of the tooth shops in the capital are resold from other areas.

Rich families have few maids and servants, so they choose them directly here.

This person is considered a white stream among human traffickers. Although it sounds shameless, he is still a businessman.

There is also a black stream of trafficking. In fact, the status of the black stream is lower than that of the white stream.

Most of them are exposed to the business of human trafficking, but they have no capital, so they can only resort to trafficking and robbery.

Trading without capital is the most profitable.

Of course, in the human trade, the boundary between the black stream and the white stream is not clear and very muddy.

But as far as the capital is concerned, not to mention abduction, even human trafficking is basically a one-stop shop.

Those who can live in the capital, even in slum areas, generally have at least enough food to eat.

As long as you have a household registration in the capital, you won't have to worry about having food to eat.

Due to the restrictions of Zhu Yuanzhang's system, wealthy merchants and landlords outside the capital could not find a way out to come to the capital. At this time, the capital's household registration was useful.

Just marry a maid and treat her as your daughter and son-in-law. This will give you the opportunity to visit relatives.

Many things in the back are more convenient to operate.

Therefore, it is basically difficult for people in the capital to be abducted and sold, let alone the fourth lady of the Xu family.

Xu Miaojin, compared to later generations, was truly the second generation of Quan, the top nobleman of the Ming Dynasty.

How could such a person be someone that those people would dare to provoke? They are not on the same level at all.

"The person I contacted this morning was the Xu Mansion that I left after nightfall yesterday. It's almost ten hours now."

"Brother, there's no news so far. What I'm most worried about is that those kidnappers will kill my aunt immediately after they find out her identity."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but said.

He had already considered in his mind that the person who kidnapped his aunt probably did not know her identity and thought she was a woman from an ordinary wealthy family.

And now I must have known about it for a long time, but the person has not come back, which shows that the other party is hesitating, and may even kill people and bury the bodies.

"Although the capital is large, it is at the feet of the emperor. Jinyiwei's connections here are densely packed, and these people all know each other."

"It shouldn't be long before news comes."

Zhu Ying said.

Zhu Ying is still very confident in Jin Yiwei's ability in the capital. You must know that even the lowest Jin Yiwei has many helpers with low hands.

These helpers can be understood as informants. Each Jinyiwei has a large number of informants under them, just like surveillance.

Otherwise, with thousands of imperial guards to monitor the capital, they would not be able to reach the current level.

Zhu Gaochi nodded, he had no doubt about Jin Yiwei's ability.

The entire Xu Mansion has now become a mess.

Xu Da had four sons and four daughters. Except for the third son who died young, the other three sons are still alive.

There are only two younger sisters in the family. Faced with such things, the eldest son Xu Huizu has become violently angry.

"It is simply lawless and lawless. Even the people of my Xu family dare to touch me. These people are so stupid, I will definitely cut them into pieces!!!"

At this moment, the second son Xu Yingxu and the youngest Xu Zengshou hurried in.

Xu Yingxu said: "Brother, His Highness Gao Chi has entered the palace, and now the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has controlled the city gates. There is absolutely no possibility for those people to escape."

"It's just such a big movement that I'm a little worried about whether those people will jump over the wall in a hurry."

Xu Huizu forcibly calmed down and said: "These people, Yazi, have a close relationship with Yaxing. Let's go ahead and surround Yaxing directly."

Xu Yingxu responded: "Okay, I will send people immediately to arrest the entire Yahang people and interrogate them severely."

Xu Huizu shook his head and said: "No, second brother, you are a hereditary commander. If you transfer people without authorization, you have violated a taboo."

"Take our family's guards and contact the Jin Yiwei to go there together. At this time, the Xu Mansion cannot be in chaos."

Xu Huizu has succeeded Wei Guogong for many years now, and he still has some political wisdom. If this matter is to mobilize troops privately, the impact will be too great, and it may not be of much use.

This is someone who is hiding in the dark, not in the open. The military and horse departments of the five cities have already begun to seal the city, which means that His Majesty has begun to intervene.

Xu Huizu still doesn't know that the order to close the city was directly issued by Zhu Ying.

Because Xu Huizu went to the morning court early in the morning, and it was only after noon that he received the news from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

"Jinyiwei? Brother, why do we need to go with them? Now that Jinyiwei is notorious, relying on them will not ruin the reputation of my Xu family."

"Even if we can't go there, if the palace has spoken, the Jin Yiwei will definitely go all out. I don't think there is any need to go there with them."

Xu Yingxu said reluctantly.

Although he is a hereditary commander and belongs to the series of military attachés, he likes poetry, poetry and poetry, and most likes dancing and writing. He often makes friends with a group of literati.

So I have a strong dislike for Jin Yiwei.

"Stupid!" Gu Lai

Xu Huizu scolded, and then said: "Do you really think that my little sister's matter is really that simple?"

"Even if my little sister sneaks out, whether it's her temperament or her clothes, who would dare to mess with her?"

"Not only the little sister, but also the maidservant of the little sister also disappeared. No one in this capital has such courage."

"In my opinion, I am afraid that someone is secretly targeting my Xu family. The court seems to be peaceful now, but in fact it is in turmoil."

"The newly appeared His Royal Highness Changsun, His Royal Highness Yunwen, who has not yet been decanted. Although His Majesty is in strong health, he is already at an advanced age."

"Among them, I'm sure someone might have some evil intentions."

When Xu Yingxu and Xu Zengshou heard this, they immediately became quiet.

The elder brother's words really made them wary.

The appearance of His Highness Changsun originally made many people feel surprised and uncertain. The resurrection of a person who has been dead for ten years seems a bit unreliable no matter how you look at it.

However, when His Majesty suppressed the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to say anything. Even the civil servants were all quiet.

Recently, Duke Liang returned to Beijing and called friends around. The nobles of the Huaixi Generals Group began to become active.

Many people could not understand the changes in the imperial court. No one stood up to question the existence of His Highness Changsun, but no one knew what he was thinking.

Sometimes, all it takes is one moment to create a huge change.

The disappearance of little sister Xu Miaojin was probably due to someone testing her.

The people in the Xu Mansion actually knew about the little sister sneaking into Prince Yan's Mansion.

After all, the guards in the Xu Mansion were all former soldiers under Xu Da's command. How could Xu Miaojin's actions be hidden from them?

The reason why we were able to go out was because of the tacit consent of Xu Huizu and others.

After all, that is His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, no one can refuse, and everyone can understand the little sister's thoughts.
