After hearing Yin Guangbo's words, Xin Ya's smile that had been laughing just now turned into a smile.
He didn't take it seriously just now, thinking that something else could happen to Guwan now.
But I really didn't expect that Zheng Zhongguang would abscond in fear of crime.
His departure will really harm His Highness.
Therefore, he hurriedly asked Yin Guangbo, who was getting up, "Have you sent someone to follow?"
Yin Guangbo looked extremely embarrassed, folded his hands in front of him, and stood like a child who had made a mistake.
He glanced at Xiao Zimu out of the corner of his eye, and replied in a low voice: "I didn't follow him. At that time, he held Lord Xue with a dagger and held him out of the prison door, got into the carriage where Lord Xue came from, and He put the dagger on Mr. Xue's neck, scolded everyone to retreat out of sight, and then ordered the groom to gallop away."
After Yin Guangbo finished speaking, he sighed. If he had followed him somewhere and reported it in person, he would definitely have sent a yamen officer to let him know.
"Your Highness, I'm going to look at the carriage mark and see if I can still catch up." Xin Ya's face was extremely ugly. It was no wonder that Yin Guangbo was at the moment. He still had to capture Zheng Zhongguang first.
"Your Highness, do you want to issue a wanted document?" Yin Guangbo asked Xin Ya again. In his opinion, Zheng Zhongguang had already disappeared. If he didn't issue a wanted document, he probably wouldn't be caught.
Xin Ya glared at him when he heard this, and Yin Guangbo was confused by his sudden glare.
From the beginning to the end, Yin Guangbo naturally knew that Xiao Zimu had nothing to do with this matter.
But what others don't know is that if the official arrest warrant is released and Zheng Zhongguang's other charges are not proven, the charge of absconding in fear of crime must be solid.
If someone maliciously instigates it, Xiao Zimu will definitely be implicated.
If it were reported to the emperor and someone accused him of deliberately covering up, he would not be able to explain it clearly.
Therefore, Xin Ya glared at him.
But where does Yin Guangbo know the twists and turns inside
He just simply wanted to catch the person back.
"There is no need to write down the paperwork. You can just send people to search outside the city." Xiao Zimu's face remained as usual and he gave Yin Guangbo a warm command.
Although Yin Guangbo had doubts, he still retreated as he was told.
"Your Highness, if you ask him to send people to search, he will definitely not be able to catch anyone. Let me try." Xin Ya said anxiously from the side.
Even if the government offices came out in full force, in his opinion, it was just superficial work.
"No need, let's wait until Mr. Xue comes back." Xiao Zimu said with a hint of ridicule on his lips and then returned to the house.
Xin Ya originally wanted to warn him that the longer this went on, the harder it would be to catch him.
Although Zheng Zhongguang was absconding, he would have let Master Xue go along the way, so that his journey would be faster.
But what if you don’t let it go
At that time, the third-rank governor took the second-rank governor hostage and fled to the end of the world.
When it reached the ears of the emperor, he was so furious that the thunder was heard.
Xin Ya covered his face with his hands, not daring to think about it...
However, Yin Guangbo followed Xiao Zimu's wishes and sent people to search everywhere after returning to the government office. They searched from Sishi to Xushi, but found nothing.
When he was dejected and about to go back to report Xiao Zimu, Xue Xiuguo's attendant Bu Xianglin came to see him.
"Master Xue just returned to the inn. I learned that you are still searching for his whereabouts, so I specially sent me to inform Yinzhou Judgment." Bu Xianglin saluted Yin Guangbo.
"Master Xue is back? Then I will go with you to visit him." Yin Guangbo couldn't wait to ask Xue Xiuguo about the approximate location where Zheng Zhongguang escaped.
"It's getting late today, and Mr. Xue was frightened again. When I came here, the doctor had already prepared a soothing soup for him. He must have finished drinking it and rested now. Yinzhou might as well go visit him tomorrow." Bu Xianglin He stretched out his hand to stop Yin Guangbo and explained to him.
Yin Guangbo nodded and had no choice but to give up and said to Bu Xianglin: "I was not thinking well and forgot the time. Then I will go visit again tomorrow morning."
Bu Xianglin smiled politely at Yin Guangbo, said goodbye and turned around and left the office.
Yin Guangbo also went out and went to his house.
Although Zheng Zhongguang has not been found yet, at least Mr. Xue is back, which is good news. It is better to go back and report Xiao Zimu in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, he hurried back all the way, but Xiao Zimu's room was empty, and Xin Ya was naturally not there either.
He called the young servant who was waiting for Xiao Zimu in the courtyard and asked, "When did Your Highness go out?"
"I've been gone for about an hour." Le Lai made an estimate and replied to Yin Guangbo.
"Did you leave any words?" Yin Guangbo frowned. He didn't know what Xiao Zimu was going out for in the middle of the night. He wouldn't go out to hunt Zheng Zhongguang himself.
"I asked you to rest early when you come back. You must be exhausted from running around today." Le Lai conveyed it to Yin Guangbo according to Xiao Zimu's original words.
Yin Guangbo smiled bitterly when he heard this, waved to him and said, "Go prepare some food and hot water, and go to the door to wait for His Highness."
Such a big event happened today. He couldn't even sleep at night because he didn't know how to eat.
When Yin Guangbo returned to his room, he was pacing back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.
By the fourth watch, there was no news of Xiao Zimu's return.
In the end, Yin Guangbo couldn't hold on any longer, so he leaned against the bed and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, he was awakened by the noise of people outside the house.
He pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, only to find Bu Xianglin and some attendants standing at the door of Xiao Zimu's room.
This early in the morning, before he went to see Xue Xiuguo, Xue Xiuguo came to see Xiao Zimu first.
He walked towards Xiao Zimu. When Xin Ya saw him coming, he went to call him, and then motioned for him to come in.
Yin Guangbo opened the door. Xiao Zimu saw him coming in and said to him: "Just let Yinzhou Prefect take you to the Zheng Mansion to pick up Miss Xue."
Upon hearing this, Xue Xiuguo gave Xiao Zimu a big salute and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I will follow the Yinzhou magistrate to Zheng Mansion to pick up the person back to Wanzhou."
Xiao Zimu nodded, Xue Xiuguo stood up, glanced at Yin Guangbo, and retreated first.
Yin Guangbo blinked his eyes with confusion. He had just come in and hadn't said anything yet, and he hadn't had time to ask.
Seeing Xiao Zimu wave to him, Xue Xiuguo was waiting outside again.
Yin Guangbo could only salute Xiao Zimu and then retreated with Xue Xiuguo.
He walked to the door and gave Xin Ya an inquiring look.
Xin Ya turned a blind eye, bowed to Xue Xiuguo and said, "Master Xue, walk slowly."
Xue Xiuguo nodded and called out to Yin Guangbo.
"Yinzhou Prefect, let's go to Zheng Mansion as soon as possible, right?"
