"Your grandfather has always said that Anning Palace and the Prince's family are not worth looking forward to. Jun'er, you also saw with your own eyes that Zhao Mingting was trying to catch a suspect whose identity he didn't know. But he didn't have the slightest concern about how serious the fire would be if it got out of control.
s consequence?"
Wang Wenqian stood with his hands folded. No matter how chaotic the scene in front of him was, it did not worry him at all. He even calmly commented on the matter in front of him.
"The seemingly ill beggar is not simple, and his father was not able to see any flaws. However, in order to escape Zhao Mingting's pursuit, this son did not hesitate to set fire to create chaos. He is also a ruthless person. Jun'er, if you encounter him in the future
People who come here should stay away."
Wang Jun looked worriedly at the chaotic rouge shop opposite the crowd.
At this time, a large group of women rushed out from the rouge shop, causing the crowd on the street to become more and more chaotic. Under the protection of two guards, she and her father could only stand against the wall here. Seeing the rouge shop
The dim light from the fire inside made her frown, and she couldn't help but worry that the fire would get out of control and cause greater chaos, but she and her father were unable to do anything.
Fortunately, there were a large number of patrols and guards from the Linjiang Marquis Mansion on the left and right to maintain order. At this time, they quickly reacted, cleared the scene in front of the Rouge Shop, and dispersed the crowd.
Under the command of Chai Jian, another dozen soldiers rushed directly into the fire, which was not very big, and put out the burning objects without burning the entire wooden building.
"Dad, do you think that woman is a little suspicious? Did she set fire to create chaos and cover others' escape? The beggar walked into the shop and did not show up. He should have escaped from the other side as soon as possible before Zhao Mingting and the others rushed in.
Well, he probably didn't set the fire with his own hands." Wang Jun asked his father Wang Wenqian, pointing to Chun Shisanniang, who was still standing in front of the rouge shop and looking at half of her skirt after burning it.
"Whether he did it with his own hands, it doesn't make any difference. Aren't they in the same group?" Seeing Jun'er arguing with him, Wang Wenqian also smiled dumbly, but his attention still fell on Chun Shisanniang.
The female relatives who could enter the Ningxiang Tower shop were either noble or wealthy. They rushed out of the shop in chaos, but almost all of them were accompanied by slaves and maids. After that, they left in embarrassment one after another. The woman's dress in front of her was burned to pieces.
Without the panic of an ordinary woman, without the company of a maid, she still stood by the shop and looked in with concern. If Wang Wenqian couldn't see the problem, he would be really blind.
It's just that Chun Shisanniang was a little embarrassed at this time. Her dress was burned, and a piece of her black hair was burned off by the fire. Although her peach-like face was not ruined, it was still stained white and black by sweat and gray stains.
, and no one could recognize her.
Wang Wenqian hesitated whether to appoint someone to keep an eye on this woman's movements.
"Jun'er thinks they may not be in the same group."
When Wang Jun saw that the fire had been controlled and there were no casualties, she got angry and started arguing with her father, saying,
"The beggar's disguise was so good that even dad didn't notice the flaw, and the whereabouts of the two people at the entrance of the shop were so obvious, how could they be the same group? However, the beggar wanted to stop the shop regardless of his identity being exposed.
The whereabouts of the man in Li were exposed in front of his father and Mr. Zhao, so he must be deeply involved. And this woman and the man who did not show up in the shop must be together, so she may be a beggar because she set fire to create chaos.
The verbal reminder may be the instruction from the faceless person in the shop, or of course she may be acting on her own initiative - why does Jun'er feel that what daddy said is only one-third correct?"
"You girl, your little mouth is not forgiving. I don't know how annoying you will be if you get married in the future!" Wang Wenqian teased.
"That little beggar put Jun'er's snacks in her arms and ran away, but she didn't know that Jun'er mixed these snacks with special spices - Dad, do you want to release Xiaoka and track his whereabouts?
Come out?" Wang Jun asked.
"We only have so many people in the city, why are we going to mess with this? Let's give Zhao Mingting and the others a headache, so as not to keep them looking at Chuzhou," Wang Fangqian shook his head and said, thinking for a while, and decided to give up.
He sent someone to track the whereabouts of the woman. He didn't want to go to the capital on behalf of Chuzhou to deliver a wedding gift to the third prince, so as not to be bitten by unknown forces. He said, "We might as well stay here to see if the beggar can escape Zhao Mingting."
Hunt for it!”
…………
…………
Perhaps the crowds of idlers ran out to watch the excitement of the wedding, so the backyard of Rouge Shop was empty. However, the people living on both sides of Fengxiang Street were either high-end shops like Ningxiang Building, or residents who were either rich or noble.
The wall is built high and steep.
However, not only was the bolt missing on the backyard door, it was also missing a lock.
Yao Xishui looked at the high and steep courtyard wall, hesitating whether to look for something to climb up or to twist the iron lock open more quickly. However, he saw Han Qian take out an iron claw with a black string from his arms and swing it upward.
He passed by and the next moment he was clinging to the courtyard wall.
Yao Xishui thought that it would be very convenient to use this gadget to climb high, so he ran over and wanted to join Han Qian in climbing up the wall and jumping into the back alley to escape, but saw Han Qian forcefully pull down an eaves tile.
"Why are you so crazy?" Yao Xishui asked in a low voice.
At this time, she had already heard Zhao Mingting leading people to rush into the Rouge Shop. Once she was surrounded in the backyard, she didn't know how many spies from the Privy Council Staff Division would rush in to round up her and Han Qian. She didn't know if Han Qian would not immediately escape into the back alley.
Escape, what kind of tricks are you going to do at this time?
Han Qian glanced at Yao Xishui and didn't have time to explain too much.
Precisely because they didn't know that there were spies from the Privy Council's Office hiding among the crowd, they jumped into a back alley to escape, which was still very likely to expose their whereabouts.
Now it's not a question of whether he can escape, but that Yao Xishui's identity cannot be exposed.
Otherwise, even if they did not escape into the Linjiang Marquis Mansion and walked out without committing any crime, could Zhao Mingting directly detain them?
On the wall of the back alley, Han Qian faked the traces of the two people climbing on it. Han Qian walked to the right courtyard wall and squatted down, signaling Yao Xishui to use his strength to jump up.
At this time, Yao Xishui realized that Han Qian had just created a suspicious formation to divert the attention of the pursuers. She looked at the height of the side courtyard wall and ran towards Han Qian quickly. When she stepped on Han Qian's shoulder, Han Qian also
He suddenly stood up at the right moment and used his strength to jump onto the courtyard wall that was more than ten feet high.
Next, Yao Xishui lay on the courtyard wall. When he saw Han Qianzong running over, he caught his hand and pulled him up the courtyard wall. Unfortunately, there was a black dog in the courtyard next door. When he saw Yao Xishui, Han Qian wanted to
He jumped down from the courtyard wall, barked with his tail between his legs, and then pounced and bit him.
Yao Xishui squatted on the wall and looked at the vicious dog, her scalp numb. She stretched out a sharp short blade from her sleeve and wanted to kill the vicious dog that might expose her and Han Qian's whereabouts.
Han Qian pulled Yao Xishui and asked her to put away her hidden sword, took out a piece of fatty bacon from her arms and threw it towards the black dog's open bloody mouth.
While the black dog lowered his head to chew the meat, Han Qian quickly slid down the courtyard wall, grabbed the black dog's mouth from behind, signaled Yao Xishui to go down and open the backyard door of the courtyard, and then whimpered with the fatty bacon in his mouth.
The sitting black dog was kicked out of the yard.
"Why don't you kill this dog?" Yao Xishui asked. She heard the black dog clawing at the door in the back alley and barking wildly. She didn't know what Han Qian wanted to do. The pursuers were led into the back alley. See
When a vicious dog breaks down the door, wouldn't you guess that they are hiding here?
Seeing that Han Qian ignored her, Yao Xishui angrily grabbed a handful of plaster and smeared it on his face, then held the hidden sword in his hand and stood close to the backyard door, waiting for the spies from the Fang Division to kick in and break through.
It might be easier to kill one or two people first and then escape.
Seeing that Yao Xishui finally realized that she was attracting more attention when she disguised herself as a man, Han Qian glanced at her with disdain, ignored the black dog yelling in the back alley, stood close to the courtyard wall, and heard the next moment
Someone chased me into the backyard of the rouge shop next door.
Whether it was the gap in the wall scratched by the bronze claws or the barking of dogs in the back alley, the pursuers believed that the suspect had escaped into the back alley. Then Han Qian and Yao Xishui heard the pursuers hurriedly fleeing from the yard next door.
Enter the back alley.
The black dog was obviously attracted to the people climbing over the wall for the first time. It barked and was about to pounce on him. Then Han Qian and Yao Xishui heard a whimper. Needless to say, the black dog must have been chased.
He fell to the ground and died completely. After that, not even the sound of struggling hooves was heard.
Then I heard the pursuers chasing towards the alley entrance on the right without hesitation.
At this time, Yao Xishui wanted to understand why the pursuers were so completely misled.
Before the pursuers climbed over the wall, they didn't realize that it was because the suspect was hiding in the yard on the right that the black dog pounced on the door and barked. When the pursuers climbed over the wall, they saw the black dog rushing towards him from the right, and they naturally started to attack him.
It will be determined that the suspect fled to the alley entrance on the right, and the black dog can't catch up to the person on the right, so it will be attracted by them.
Although the pursuers have been lured away, there is no guarantee that they will notice something unusual and come back at any time.
The situation was tense, and Yao Xishui's heart was beating rapidly. He hesitated whether to suggest Han Qian to hide in another place.
Han Qian saw that no one was in the front yard of this house, so he gestured to Yao Xishui, tiptoed into the house, and searched for two sets of clothes.
Han Qian changed out of his beggar clothes, and Yao Xishui also changed into women's clothes. However, they did not immediately walk into the chaotic Fengxiang Street. They opened a small wooden window in the second-floor attic to look at the situation outside, but they saw that Wang Wenqian and his daughter had not left yet.
, and stood across the street looking at this side.
"Okay, let's rest here for a while. I hope this family won't come back too early."
Han Qian squatted in front of the window. Even if they changed their clothes and walked out directly, they could not hide it from Wang Wenqian and his daughter.
Wang Wenqian is a believer in Wang Yang Yuan's performance, and he is also the first target of the Anning Palace and the prince's family at this time. However, Wang Wenqian is probably not willing to see a force with deep lurking and unknown origin like Wan Honglou intervene in the great Chu conflict.
It's a direct relationship, right?
The history of the Late Red Mansion is slightly longer than that of the Liang and Jin countries, which were only founded for 12 or 12 years. It is unlikely that it was a secret room sent by the enemy countries of the Liang and Jin Dynasties, but it is precisely this that makes it more suspicious.
.
While Wang Wenqian was not paying attention, Han Qian left a mark outside the window that Fan Dahei and the others could identify. He closed the window tightly and hid in the corner of the attic with Yao Xishui, waiting for Fan Dahei and Zhao Wuji to receive the message.
When I came over later, I could see the marks he left.
Of course, he also prayed that Fan Dahei, Zhao Wuji and others would be smart enough to go to Chai Jian or Li Zhigao to discuss the matter after seeing the mark, instead of rushing over to help them out of trouble.
Otherwise, even if Yao Xishui's identity can be concealed this time, it will not be a good thing if he is exposed in front of Wang Wenqian, an old fox.
Not to mention the possibility of being targeted by the poisonous snake Zhao Mingting at this juncture...
