The secrets of Kowloon were carried out in secret, and the search for Chu Qiaoer was done openly. Soldiers in helmets and armors entered the streets in batches under the cover of night and started searching from house to house. The tranquility was broken for a while, and the chickens and dogs were restless.
Xu Hongliang, the Minister of War, also took to the streets in person to participate in the manhunt.
"Sir, the North Prince's Mansion is ahead, do we want to search it?"
The black-faced captain asked for instructions.
"What do you think?"
Xu Hongliang glared at him angrily.
The current power of the Northern King is overwhelming, below one person and above ten thousand people, especially when the emperor once said in public that he would let Li Yang supervise the six ministries in the future, and the Ministry of War was one of the six ministries. How could he get around in the future if he offended Li Yang?
"The general doesn't know. If the general knew, he wouldn't ask you."
The black-faced captain said with a grimace.
"You stupid thing, you are so stupid, get out of here!"
Xu Hongliang scolded, "Then we definitely won't search. It's getting late now and we can't disturb King Bei's rest."
"Oh, oh..." The black-faced captain received the order and turned to leave.
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, the voice was extremely majestic.
"Beijing Palace must be searched, and it must be searched carefully!"
All the soldiers followed the call, and then bowed and saluted one after another. Lord An Baoren'an, the Minister of Works, arrived, and with him was a young man with a sinister look.
"An Huairen, when will it be your turn to give orders to me?"
Xu Hongliang said angrily, An Huairen had no good intentions and encouraged him to search Beiwang Mansion, so he wouldn't do it.
"Master Xu, this is not an order, but I am providing you with clues to help you make meritorious deeds."
An Huairen smiled lightly.
"What do you mean?"
Xu Hongliang glanced sideways at him and frowned.
"This man's name is Bai Zhan. He is my servant. He happened to be active in this area during the day."
An Huairen pointed to the man next to him and said, "Bai Zhan, please report everything you saw to Mr. Xu. You must seek truth from facts and do not make any lies!"
"Yes, yes, the little one must tell the truth."
"I was picking up medicine at a pharmacy nearby during the day. As soon as I came out of the pharmacy, I saw a man and a woman entering Beiwang Mansion.
The man was wearing black clothes, the woman was holding a sword in one hand, and there was blood on her clothes."
"And from the back, that woman looks very much like Chu Qiaoer on the wanted poster."
Bai Zhan recalled and said, leaving out every detail.
"Do you really mean what you say?"
Xu Hongliang immediately paid attention and asked in a deep voice.
"Every small sentence is true, never dare to make it up out of thin air!"
Bai Zhan replied loudly, in fact, what he said was true. He had indeed seen what he saw, but his activities in this area were not to grab medicine, but to monitor the Beiwang Mansion under An Huairen's order. To inform such an informant like him,
There are more than a hundred people.
Ever since An Huairen was defrauded of a huge sum of money by the Sun and Moon faction last time, the more he thought about it when he went back, the more and more something was wrong. He thought that maybe the King of Bei and the Sun and Moon faction were working together to defraud him. The worst thing was not
The two kings of the sun and moon are Li Yang, the king of the north! "Okay, you guys come with me."
Xu Hongliang was confirmed and finally made up his mind, "Everyone listen to the order. The first squadron, the second squadron, and the third squadron will surround me at the Beiwang Mansion. The other two squadrons will follow me and search the Beiwang Mansion!"
"yes."
All the soldiers responded and rushed towards Beiwang Mansion with great momentum. The team dispersed and immediately surrounded Beiwang Mansion tightly.
"This is Beiwang Mansion, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Long asked loudly.
The Guardsmen in front of the door also drew their swords and stood ready.
"Xu Hongliang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, was ordered to capture the rebel Chu Qiaoer. According to the emperor's wishes, we searched house to house. Now we have found this place according to the order. Please cooperate with us."
Xu Hongliang said indifferently, with a noncommittal tone.
"Fuck you, what kind of status is my prince? You can search his mansion if you want. Leave quickly, otherwise I don't care what kind of bullshit minister you are, I will kill you without mercy!"
Zhang Long scolded him coldly and didn't take him seriously at all.
Chu Qiaoer lives in the back door of the mansion, how can he let the search take place?
"You, you are presumptuous!"
Xu Hongliang was furious, his face turned black, "How dare you, a young captain, talk to me like this, and even shout that you want to kill me?"
"It's outrageous, it's outrageous, Mr. Xu, they don't take you seriously!"
An Huairen followed, fanning the flames.
"I've searched the Beiwang Mansion today. Who dares to stop me?"
Xu Hongliang waved his hand and took the lead to enter the mansion.
"Everyone listens to the order. Anyone who dares to go further will be killed directly!"
Zhao Hu did not compromise and gave the order directly.
"yes."
The brothers of the Guards shouted in unison, their voices resounding.
The Guards are the elite force of the Shanhe Army. Each member has experienced hundreds of battles and possesses murderous aura. The accumulation of boundless murderous aura is overwhelming and extremely oppressive.
Xu Hongliang didn't dare to leave immediately, but when he retreated like this, he felt that he couldn't bear the loss of face, so he could only freeze in place.
"Put down your knives."
The door opened and Li Yang walked out of the mansion, "Master Xu was ordered by the emperor to conduct a search. How can you stop it? Master Xu is not targeting me, right Master Xu?"
"I humbly pay my respects to King Bei and thank him for his understanding and consideration."
Xu Hongliang bowed and saluted politely.
Li Yang nodded, looked at An Huairen again, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. An is here too. What, the hunt for the rebels is also under the control of your Ministry of Industry?"
An Huairen also smiled and said: "King Bei is joking, I'm just a companion to Mr. Xu."
Li Yang smiled again, moved out of the way, and they filed in, very fast.
"Your Highness, I don't think they are as simple as searching every house. As far as I know, these people have not offended any of the palaces of the imperial officials."
Zhao Hu said.
"Someone may have seen something. There is a high probability that An Huairen has placed spies around my residence."
Li Yang said firmly.
"Then why did you let them go in to search? The mansion has been surrounded, and Miss Chu can't get out."
Zhao Hu suddenly became anxious.
"If you don't let them search, it will be easier to attract suspicion. Even if the imperial edict is invited, we still have to cooperate. Don't worry, Achu is in my room. I don't believe they dare to search my room!"
After Li Yang finished speaking, he came to the house.
