The carriage wobbled past those people, and soon disappeared outside the city gate.
The soldier kneeling on the ground saw the carriage driving out of the city gate, and then slowly stood up, bending over to pat the dirt on his knees.
The leading soldier breathed a sigh of relief, turned back to stare at the young soldier, and scolded: "You are so brave, you dare to talk back to the Duke!"
The person next to him also said: "That's right, he even dared to check the Duke's carriage."
"Do you know who the Duke is?"
"The emperor's father-in-law, his daughter is Concubine Kang, and he made great achievements in escorting her. If you want to check his carriage, aren't you courting death?!"
Everyone was accusing him.
But the young soldier said unconvinced: "Why didn't you check? His carriage is so big, is it true that he is the only one sitting in it? What if someone runs away?"
The leader patted him on the back of the head resentfully, and said: "You pig head, so what if the man really ran away? We are not arresting a gangster, nor a felon of the court, but Jane. House's-"
Having said that, he still shut his mouth hesitantly.
After all, the affairs of Jian's family have already caused a lot of trouble, and the common people also complained when they checked the past at the gate of the city every day.
Therefore, many things cannot be said clearly.
He looked around and saw that many common people had already gathered at the gate of the city, so he immediately commanded everyone: "Don't be lazy, hurry over."
So, everyone began to check the past again.
The leader walked back, and a deputy next to him approached him, and said softly: "Boss, what are you talking about about the Jane's family? How could it be wiped out overnight?"
"how could I know?"
"Also, do you know the rumor that is raging in the city right now?"
"What?"
"That is to say, our emperor is not—"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the leader's slap, and said angrily: "Are you looking for death? Can you talk nonsense like this?"
The deputy's shoulder was hit, and he stretched out his hand to rub it in pain, and complained softly: "It's not just me who is talking about it, the whole city of Beiping is talking about it, I heard it was the news from the palace, who doesn't know now Huh? It's just that everyone doesn't make trouble."
While muttering, he walked to the side.
The leading soldier sighed, and looked at the zenith. Although the sun had already come out, there were thick clouds on the other side of the sky, as if even the light could not be dispelled.
He murmured: "Don't make a fuss? Make a fuss, I still don't know what's going on!"

"What did you say?"
In the originally quiet Yonghe Palace, after listening to Eunuch Yu's report, Empress Xu Miaoyin's eyes widened in astonishment, her hand on the table trembled, and she knocked down the tea bowl in her hand.
Chun'er and Bihe hurried forward, putting away the cups, and cleaning the table.
"Cough cough."
Xu Miaoyin also felt that her reaction was a bit too much. She coughed twice to cover up her gaffe just now, then frowned and said, "Are you telling the truth?"
Eunuch Yu stood in front of her, nodded and said, "It's absolutely true."
"this-"
Xu Miaoyin frowned, remained silent for a long time, and murmured in disbelief: "How is that possible?"
Both she and He Yi were guarding against Zhu Feng.
I'm afraid that what King Ning said in front of him this time will be like the last time at the altar, causing him to become fierce, but Eunuch Yu came to report. Last night, Zhu Feng was indeed almost violent.
However, after he went to the cold palace, he returned to normal.
Xu Miaoyin was silent for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, are you going to-visit, the imperial concubine?"
"Yes."
Eunuch Yu nodded and said: "Later, this servant also sent someone to Lenggong to find out, the emperor indeed spent the night with the imperial concubine."
"..."
Xu Miaoyin's eyes became a little subtle.
It had been a long time since she didn't have the emotions of being a woman, such as jealousy, envy, and joy. After all, when the huge responsibility of the queen was on her, she had no way to be a woman again.
However, upon hearing the news, there were still slight ripples in her heart.
Zhu Feng really likes Si Nanyan.
Although Zhu Feng had personally admitted this sentence when he was trying to overcome all opinions and canonize the imperial concubine, but there are so many beauties in the harem, and as an emperor, it is difficult to be devoted to a woman to the end.
However, until now, Zhu Feng's mind seemed to be only on Si Nanyan.
Even after he lost his memory.
Xu Miaoyin sighed lightly.
Bi He, who was cleaning the table next to her, raised her head and looked at her master with some surprise. Xu Miaoyin rarely showed such emotion, and said softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Xu Miaoyin waved her hand, then looked at Eunuch Yu again: "Then the emperor now—"
"I'm dealing with government affairs in the imperial study."
"oh."
She nodded, but she was still a little worried, so she got up and went to have a look, and Eunuch Yu and Chun'er followed behind her.
After a while, they arrived outside the imperial study room.
However, as soon as he approached, he saw He Yi and several officials standing inside, reporting the matter, so Xu Miaoyin naturally couldn't go in.
Zhu Feng frowned, threw the memorial in his hand back on the imperial case, and said in a deep voice, "So, all the clues about the Jian family's affairs are now broken?"
"yes."
"Jane Ruocheng can't find it either?"
He Yi took a step forward, bowed his head and said, "Please forgive me, my humble minister is incompetent."
"..."
Zhu Feng glanced at him and said nothing.
For other things, he could blame him for being "incompetent", but the Sixth Army of the Forbidden City and the Jinyiwei were dispatched, almost turning the whole of Beiping upside down, even the villages on the outskirts of the city were not spared, and Jian Ruocheng's whereabouts were never found.
Obviously, someone is helping him.
Zhu Feng thought for a while with a sullen face, and said, "Tell me, is it possible that he has left Peiping now?"
He Yi said: "Wei Chen came to report today because he has such suspicions."
"..."
"I have searched all the places in the city, so there is no trace of him. I'm afraid he has really left."
"But, there is no news from the guards at the city gate?"
"yes."
Neither of them spoke again.
In the imperial study room, there was a period of silence.
After a long time, He Yi took another step forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, with Jian Ruocheng's ability alone, it is impossible to do this. Although Jian's family enjoys a high reputation among scholars, this is Beiping, and their The forces are all in Jinling."
"so-"
"So, I suspect that someone is secretly helping him."
"..."
Zhu Feng was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth slightly, and said, "It's not just someone helping him."
"..."
"This man, every step of the way, is ahead of us."
