At dusk the next day, Master Xiao received a report from Butler Xiao about the whereabouts of Master and servant Xiao Lingzhi...

"Trial Master, the eldest lady went to Xiangmao Street today, entered two rouge shops and three tailor shops." Butler Xiao said respectfully: "The old lady sent six people to hang out in the crowd and kept following the eldest lady."

"Are there any strange phenomena?" Master Xiao put down the book in his hand.

Butler Xiao hurriedly said, "There is no strange phenomenon, but the eldest lady looks dazed and looks not in good spirits."

Master Xiao sighed and said, "I understand. If you want to relax, you can just send someone to follow me, don't disturb her." After a pause, he said slowly, "If you just walk around the street, just focus on your few people, but if the lady leaves East Street, you can send more people to follow me immediately, and you must report to me immediately!"

"The old slave understands."

Master Xiao nodded and signaled Butler Xiao to go down.

He shook his head gently. Xiao Lingzhi knew that she was going to marry Han Cang, so she must be in a bad mood. It was understandable that she went out to relax.

...

Xiangmao Street, Dongcheng.

This is the street that the official wives and ladies like to visit the most, because it has the best rouge powder in Yan State, the most expensive silk jokes in Yan State, and many beautiful and luxurious jewelry on this street.

The goods here are naturally not something that ordinary people can afford.

On this street, carriages were coming and going, and there were more or less several carriages parked in front of each store. The wives and ladies dressed in fur or cloaks were gracefully getting off the carriage and entering a shop.

On the long street, Xiao Lingzhi and Xiaojun were wearing big cloaks and wearing hats on their heads. The black veil hanging from the edge of the hats covered their faces. The steps were light. They walked on the long street, mingling with the crowd and staring at them, and always monitoring them within their own sight.

Yesterday, the master and servant had been browsing the street for most of the day. Today, they seemed to be in a state of interest. They visited several shops in a row. Xiaojun also had a package in his hand, and naturally there were things to buy inside.

The above said, just keep an eye on Xiao Lingzhi and the other two, and there is no need to be alarmed. Therefore, the whereabouts of the six shadow guards are very hidden. However, whenever Xiao Lingzhi and his servants enter a shop, the six shadow guards act quickly, three guards guards guards guards guards guards, and the other three feel the backyard of the shop as fast as possible and stare at the back door.

When Xiao Lingzhi and his servant entered a tailor shop, the six shadow guards were still separated and stared at the front and back doors of the shop.

"Miss seems to have entered this tailor shop yesterday?" A shadow guard who was hiding in the corner of the house frowned.

"It's not a day for women to do clothes." A shadow guard next to him was obviously quite familiar with women buying clothes: "I was afraid I came here to tailor my clothes yesterday, and I still have to choose silk today."

Another shadow guard heard this and stopped talking.

But I was quite confused. The Taishi Mansion had countless fine materials and top-notch tailors, so why did I come here to buy clothes?

But his little shadow guard is naturally not qualified to care about these things.

Although time passed by little by little, Shadow Guard stared at the door without blinking.

The business of this tailor shop is not good, but it is not bad, and people come in and out from time to time.

Most of the hour passed, but Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant still did not come out. Both shadow guards frowned and felt something was wrong.

"Get closer and take a look." A shadow guard whispered.

Another shadow guard nodded and pulled down the brim of the hat on his head, covering most of his face. Just as he was about to go over, the shadow guard beside him had already whispered: "No need, they are out!"

Sure enough, Xiao Lingzhi and his servant each carried a package and came out of the tailor shop, covering his face with black gauze, as before, with light steps along the long street.

Shadow Guard immediately followed.

The carriage was running wildly, and another inconspicuous carriage was parked in front of the tailor's shop. The carriageman picked up the whip in his hand and shook it in the air. There were two crisp sounds of "pa" sounds.

Soon, two women came out of the tailor's shop and quickly got into the carriage. The carriage turned its head and left the front of the tailor's shop very quickly.

Everything is extremely natural, and almost no one pays attention.

...

Six shadow guards followed Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant out of Xu Yuan. After walking for half an hour, they had already left Xiangmao Street and had even turned two streets. However, Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant seemed to have no intention of stopping.

Several shadow guards only thought things were quite strange, but the orders ordered by the above were monitored and not disturbed, so they could only follow them all the way.

The two women had good feet strength. After turning two streets, they actually came to a pink building.

Several shadow guards were immediately surprised. What did the young lady from the Grand Tutor's Mansion go to the pink building to do?

Things seem to be wrong.

One of the shadow guards made a gesture, and the four shadow guards immediately dispersed. He brought a shadow guard to follow quickly and followed Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant into the pink building.

As soon as they entered, the pink head came up again. Before they could speak, the two shadow guards had slightly raised their hats covering their faces. The cold murderous intent on their faces actually scared the pink heads away and did not dare to go forward.

The two shadow guards looked ahead and saw that the master and servant Xiao Lingzhi, who had been staring at them, had already taken off the hat on his head, as if he felt something was happening behind him, and at the same time turned around.

Looking at the two strange faces, the expressions of the two shadow guards changed drastically. The two people in front of them were not Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant, but they were two strange faces that they had never seen before.

The two shadow guards immediately realized that they were trapped in the golden cicada.

The two of them were full of murderous intent and quickly stepped forward. One of them grabbed one and dragged the two women who pretended to be Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant directly into a private room next to them. Several thugs in the building came forward, but a shadow guard had turned his face back, and his face looked cold and said coldly: "If the government handles the matter, those who are in the way will be killed without mercy!"

The thugs were frightened by the murderous aura emitted from Shadow Wei's body, and they really didn't dare to step forward.

He pulled the two women closer to the private room, closed the door, and threw them on the ground. A shadow guard stared at the two women who were already fading with a snake, and asked coldly: "How did you get your clothes? Why did you two appear in that tailor shop? Where are the two women dressed like you now?"

The two women squeezed together and sat on the ground, trembling, unable to speak for a moment.

"Why don't you tell me!" Another shadow guard had already taken out a cold dagger from his body and pressed it on the face of the woman dressed as Xiao Lingzhi. Her smooth and fair face was pressed against the cold knife, and the woman screamed.

Shadow Guard took out a ingot of silver from his arms, put it on the table, and slowly said, "I said, this silver is yours. If you don't say it, at least five scars will appear on your face."

The woman said tremblingly: "I said...!"

"Speak quickly!"

"Last night, someone found us and gave us these two sets of clothes to put on them. We must rush to the tailor shop before today. As long as we do as he says, we can get one hundred taels of silver in the tailor shop." The woman shivered: "We arrived there as he said, and then waited for a long time in it. Last night, the man finally appeared and handed us one hundred taels of silver, and then asked us to leave the tailor shop, not to say anything, as long as we return all the way here... We also saw the two women you mentioned, we were wondering why the clothes were exactly the same, but... but how dare we ask more questions...!"

The two shadow guards looked at each other and knew that they had fallen into careful planning.

Xiao Lingzhi entered the tailor shop just after three o'clock in the afternoon. That is to say, before they entered, these two women wearing the same clothes and even the same figure were already staying inside.

The other party was obviously well-planned. Although the two women selected had different appearances, their figures were 70 to 80% similar to those of Xiao Lingzhi's master and servant, especially their height, which was almost no different. They were wearing cloaks, covering their bodies, wearing hats and black veils, and their faces could not be identified at all. These two substitutes were naturally carefully selected.

"Can you know the people who told you to do this?" a shadow guard asked coldly.

He actually understood that the other party was so carefully designed that these two women were just two chess pieces, and it was impossible for them to know too much.

Sure enough, the two women looked at each other, their faces were confused, and they shook their heads.

...

When Butler Xiao reported this to the Grand Master, Master Xiao closed his eyes and pondered for a long time.

"The two women really didn't know anything." Butler Xiao said carefully: "The people in the tailor's shop have also interrogated them. They had seen the eldest lady. At that time, they were wondering why the eldest lady was exactly the same clothes as the two women, but they didn't dare to ask more. Apart from that, they really didn't know too much. But after the two women left, a carriage was parked in front of the tailor's shop, and the eldest lady and Xiaojun maid got on the carriage and left."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Master Xiao's mouth and sighed: "It was me who was negligent. I didn't expect that this child would actually leave me." He opened his eyes and said calmly: "I went out yesterday, so I naturally sent a letter to Han Mo. I was wondering how she sent the letter through the tailor shop?"

"Trial Master, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop mentioned it. A guy in their shop was doing well in the shop, but suddenly he didn't work in the shop today." Butler Xiao whispered: "The old man sent someone to investigate. The young man's family has gone to the house and there is no trace." He glanced at Tai Master Xiao, "The eldest lady should have sent the letter through the young man, and Han Mo was afraid that he would send the family away with a lot of money, or had already killed someone to silence him. Old man... The old man has sent someone to continue to investigate and find out where the young man's hometown is..."

"No need." Master Xiao shook his head gently: "Since Han Mo takes action, he will not leave you any clues. I already know that it was his work, so what if I find that guy? Can that guy prove that Han Mo kidnapped my Xiao family's daughter?"

Butler Xiao frowned and said softly: "Master, the emperor grants marriage. In a few days, someone from the Han family will come to make an appointment for the wedding date. According to the past practice, after the emperor grants marriage, he will be engaged in three months at the latest... But now the eldest lady is gone, how can we explain to the Han family?"

At this moment, a sound came from outside the door. Butler Xiao knew that someone had something to report, so he quickly went out and came in quickly, holding a letter in his hand to Grandmaster Xiao.

"Trial Master, this is a letter left by the eldest lady!"

Master Xiao took the letter, took out the letter, opened it, and found that it was beautiful inside, which was exactly the handwriting of Xiao Lingzhi.

"Unfilial Lingzhi worships: Seven years of kindness, unforgettable for life, and it is difficult to repay this life. If there is a next life, I wish to be a child of my grandfather, and repay the kindness of my two lives for the rest of my life. Grandpa takes care of himself, don't stay up late. It's cold in winter, and I hope my health is healthy. Unfilial daughter Lingzhi worships her."
