Chapter 487
The servants and guards who were looking for went out came back one after another. Puxiang summarized the information and rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report: "Alang, the inns in Dongcheng have asked, but there is no record of the Fourth Lady's stay. Why not, please ask Lord Wu to send someone to ask?"
They asked about all the inns in Dongcheng, and the inns had their cards from Yongchang Hou Mansion. The inn staff cooperated very well, but when it was almost dawn, the bride still had no news. He was extremely anxious. After thinking about it, he had no choice but to let the official mission go out.
After searching for such a thing in the capital, the news that the Yongchang Marquis Mansion lost a handsome young lady, but the identity of this young lady is only doubtful.
Seeing that he was exhausted, Cheng Mo said, "Thank you for your hard work, go to the tent to pay some silver, everyone have some midnight snacks, and then go to the city gate to guard it. I will make sure she has not left the city. I will let Lord Wu come forward."
Puxiang agreed and went to make arrangements.
The road was pitch black, and the light of the lanterns in front of the mansion seemed to be swallowed up by the darkness, emitting a bleak halo, which shone less than two feet away from the ground. At this time, it was the darkest time before dawn.
The old housekeeper was old and insisted on finding him personally. After running around in the middle of the night, he lost his strength to raise his legs. He looked at the door of the mansion and gritted his teeth and walked forward barely.
There was a servant who arrived first, Axuan was slapping the door. Everyone was going out, so how dare I sleep? They were all waiting in the door. When they heard someone outside the door, they immediately ran out and opened the door.
When Ah Xuan entered the door, he looked back and saw a figure vaguely under the halo of the lantern. He walked out and took a look, "Old butler, what's wrong with you?"
The old butler's thin and tall body was shaking and gasped, "Helping me in."
Someone came from behind and helped the old housekeeper in.
Yusheng did not go out with the servants in the mansion to search, but kept guarding the corridor of the study room, adding tea and snacks at the right time, and was very obedient. At this time, he saw the old housekeeper being helped in, and he was very embarrassed and hurriedly asked Axie to help him return to his room to rest, and he summarized the news one by one.
"Son-in-law, the girl was not found." When he reported to Cheng Mo, his eyes turned red. Now Ah Lang is sick, but the only girl ran away from home. How is that good?
Cheng Mo said: "You go and rest. Except for the old housekeeper, the rest of the people will go to the city gate at noon to take over the people in our mansion and wait until the city gate is closed."
It is difficult to guarantee that the guards of the city gate knew Su Miaohua. If they were painting and graphics, they would be better than those in their own house to guard them. Unless they had to be absolutely necessary, they would not be able to make a big fuss.
Cheng Mo didn't think his face was very important. He never cared about what others said or said, but only what he wanted, and what he should do. But he had to care about Su Zhi's face. Su Zhi was cautious and clean, and was a person who loved face very much. Su Zhi suddenly heard that his daughter left her husband's house the next day after marriage, and I wonder if there would be something ugly about it. Moreover, all the grand wedding was attended by all the civil, military, nobles and nobles in the court, and the people in the capital also talked about it. Suddenly, such a thing would definitely become a topic of conversation for others after dinner. For him and Su Zhi, there was no benefit at all.
Yu Sheng responded and went out to give instructions. The servants walked on their legs in the middle of the night. They were really tired and dispersed.
At this time, Zeng Qiang had used up the needle, packed the medicine box, stood up and said goodbye.
Cheng Mo said: "It's not too early or late at this moment. Doctor Zeng might as well rest in the mansion and go back after dawn."
Zeng Qiang's family did not follow him to Beijing. He stayed in the General's Mansion for a long time. As a guest, he returned home in the middle of the night. It was not good. Zeng Qiang naturally understood what Cheng Mo meant and said, "Thank you, Cheng Weiwei."
Cheng Mo arranged for him to rest in the ear room in the study yard. If there is anything, please come as soon as possible.
He went to see Su Zhi. Su Zhi closed his eyes slightly, and when he saw him coming, he opened his turbid eyes and looked at him with a rush.
Cheng Heidao: "I haven't found it yet. Don't worry, father-in-law, I have a way to find it."
How could Su Zhi not worry? As long as Su Miaohua leaves the city gate, where can the world be so big that it cannot go, and where can I find her? But he didn't know that Su Miaohua was in Wu Quan's yamen at this time.
Diners fled in scattered and there were enthusiastic people among them. After they arrived on the street, they thought that they had lost their lives and would be reported to the official position no matter how they were, so they rushed to Jingzhao Mansion.
When Wu Quan heard that he had a life, he immediately summoned three yamen runners and rushed over. At this time, Taibaiju had become a ruin, most of the tables and chairs were turned into wood, and four or five people were injured in Scarface, and the rest were fiercely besieged Su Miaohua.
Su Miaohua's weapons were not good at helping, otherwise he would have knocked Scarface and his gang down. The fight between the two sides was fierce, and it was inevitable that they would be injured by accident. The unlucky shopkeeper Qiu was injured twice and was knocked out. Anyone who could rob the door escaped, and only those who were serving on the second floor were blocked from the road. He could only huddle upstairs and tremble all over.
Just as the guys upstairs lived like a year, Wu Quan brought three yamen runners and rushed in like gods. Wu Quan shouted loudly under the yamen runners: "Everyone put down the weapons for me, and those who violated the enemy immediately died under the knife."
Su Miaohua fought bravely for more than a dozen people for half an hour, and only Scarface was left, and a total of three people were not brought down. But she was a petite lady, and she had never put in such a lot of effort. She was so tired that she was out of breath and sweating heavily on her forehead. When she saw the servant coming, the bench swung rapidly, dancing into a red light, forcing Scarface to retreat, and took three steps back, leaning against the wall, and threw the bench with two legs on the ground.
Scarface was hit by several stools, but he became more and more courageous as he fought. He gritted his teeth and wanted to vent his vent. Seeing that her strength was getting smaller and smaller, she would definitely be able to take her down after a while. She was so desperate that she was so destined to die.
"Who reports to the official?" he roared angrily.
The two companions who were still standing were gasping for breath on the wall, and eight or nine brothers lay down on the ground, no one answered him.
He shouted again.
If he didn't roar, Wu Quan wouldn't have noticed him all at once. Seeing him sticking on the ground, he was so aggressive that he was like the leader of this group of people. Who would he catch him if he didn't? So he pointed with his hand and shouted: "Catch it!"
Four servants walked forward, holding water and fire sticks.
Scarface is a gangster, so how dare he fight against the official? He threw away the stick in his hand and surrendered it. The accomplices on the ground were also skillfully locked by the officers and dragged them out like a dead dog.
Mr. Ma was hit by a stool on his shoulder, which hurt so much that he fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. At this time, he was locked and dragged out.
Su Miaohua had been fighting for so long, and her hat fell off and her hair was exposed like a waterfall. How could the yamen runners not tell that she was a woman? She was not as fierce as Scarface, and she didn't get up and locked her with a chain. At this time, she wanted to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the officers and escape with lightness. But she did not do this. Instead, when the two officers came over, she said, "No need to lock, I'll go with you."
