The imperial concubine has been missing all day and night. If the kidnappers haven't stopped all the way, they should have left Shengjing's jurisdiction with the imperial concubine.
To the boundaries of other counties, Beijing Zhaofu is not so easy to intervene.
But the Emperor didn't care, he just wanted the result.
Not only the Jingzhao mansion, but also the urban defense camp and the patrol department were sent out to search for the whereabouts of the imperial concubine.
Before the emperor let go, no one dared to slack off.
Mei Guangtao has been in the Yamen of Jingzhao mansion all night. His face is very ugly.
When he was about to squint quietly for a while, Dr. Tang came to the door.
Mei Guangtao was so energetic that he didn't want to greet each other. He asked directly.
"What's up?"
Dr. Tang: "the little lady saved yesterday woke up. She said she wanted to see you."
Mei Guangtao thought that the little lady wanted to thank herself face to face. He had met many such things before, and immediately declined.
"No, let her have a good rest. I'm very busy these days. I'll talk about anything later."
Dr. Tang was not surprised by the result. He saw that Mei Guangtao looked very bad. He knew that adults were staying up late again, and suggested.
"While there's nothing wrong now, please take a break and leave."
Mei Guangtao waved his hand: "go ahead and get busy."
Dr. Tang arched his hands at him and turned away.
Mei Guangtao yawned and looked very sleepy.
Just then, a yamen runner hurried in and said with a flustered look.
"Lord Fuyin, Dr. Tang, the two men who brought back yesterday committed suicide!"
Doctor Tang stopped and looked back at the Yamen.
Mei Guangtao's movements also froze.
He asked in amazement, "who did you say killed himself?"
The Yamen servant said quickly.
"I brought back six people from the southwest official road outside the city yesterday.
Two of them were seriously injured and were held in prison for treatment.
Everything was fine.
Who knows, last night, the two quietly smashed the medicine bowl and then cut their throats with porcelain chips.
When we found them this morning, they were all dead! "
Mei Guangtao has been busy looking for the imperial concubine these two days. For example, those cases that need to be dealt with urgently are handed over to the people under his hand. Those cases that are not so anxious are put aside for the time being and will be taken care of when he is free in the future.
Like the six people brought back yesterday, they belong to cases that are not in a hurry.
Mei Guangtao asked people to put them in prison and wait for them to be released.
In order to avoid another conflict between the two sides, the three fighting people were locked together, and the other two injured people were locked together. As for the comatose little lady, she was temporarily settled in the backyard guest room of Jingzhao mansion as a victim.
But unexpectedly, the two injured people committed suicide!
Mei Guangtao touched his forehead and knew that his plan to have a rest was completely ruined.
He asked someone to bring an official hat to cover his precarious hairline and said to Dr. Tang.
"Come on, go to jail with me."
Doctor Tang bowed his hand and said, "here."
In the dark cell, two people were lying on the ground, their necks were roughly cut, and their skirts were stained with blood, which gathered into a pool of viscous scarlet blood under them.
In their hands, there are still broken porcelain pieces.
The sharp porcelain was stained with blood.
Dr. Tang went over and checked to make sure that both of them were dead.
As for the cause of death, he died of excessive blood loss after cutting his throat.
As a result, according to the situation at the scene, it was indeed suicide.
Mei Guangtao's face, which was not very good-looking, had become extremely ugly at this time.
The imperial concubine hasn't found it yet. Now there's such a bad thing in the prison.
Wave after wave.
God, this is deliberately not to make his hairline better!
Mei Guangtao looked at the nervous prison guards standing nearby and said angrily.
"People committed suicide under your eyes. How do you do it? All of you will be fined for three months. If you commit another crime, go home and farm!"
The jailers hurriedly knelt down: "we know we are wrong, we must change!"
Mei Guangtao didn't look at them again.
He asked Dr. Tang to take the body to the workshop and examine it carefully to see if he could find out other clues.
Dr. Tang asked, "is it fear of crime and suicide?"
Mei Guangtao: "it's just a fight. It's necessary to commit suicide?"
Dr. Tang: "listen to the little lady, these two people want to kidnap her, and the other three are her brothers. In order to stand out for her, they beat them seriously. They may be afraid of exposing their crimes, so they commit suicide."
Mei Guangtao still shook his head: "it shouldn't be. Even if it's robbing civilian women, it's just tattooing and hair distribution. It won't kill himself."
He sighed, "it seems that I have to see the little lady."
After leaving the cell, Mei Guangtao went straight to Xiao Xi's guest room.
Xiao Xixi is lying on the bed now, closing her eyes.
Hearing a knock at the door, she sat up and said, "please come in."
Mei Guangtao pushed the door and came in.
The moment he saw Xiao Xi, he was stunned.
He once went to the palace and met the imperial concubine. Naturally, he knew what the imperial concubine looked like.
Even though the little lady in front of her took off her makeup, wore rough coarse cloth clothes and skirts, didn't wear any decorations, and was far from the beloved imperial concubine, her face still didn't change much.
Mei Guangtao recognized it at a glance. This person is the missing imperial concubine!
The imperial concubine who is looking for all over the world is actually in the backyard of Jingzhao mansion!
Is this the legendary iron shoes? There is no place to find. It takes no effort to get it?!
Xiao Xixi asked puzzledly when he saw him frozen in place.
"What's the matter with you?"
Mei Guangtao regained consciousness and hurriedly gave her a big gift.
With excitement, he said, "I'm going to visit the imperial concubine. I don't know if the imperial concubine is coming. I can't meet her far away. I hope she will forgive me."
Xiao Cuixi: "it's all right. Those who don't know are innocent."
Mei Guangtao straightened up and looked at the imperial concubine's eyes. It was like looking at a rare treasure.
At this moment, countless barrages of bullets appeared in the madness of his mind——
I found the lady!
I can leave work early!
I don't have to stay up late anymore!
My hairline can be saved!
Xiao Xi saw that he was stunned again and could only take the initiative to speak again.
"What happened outside when the palace disappeared? What happened to the emperor?"
Speaking of business, Mei Guangtao instantly regained his composure and said quickly.
"Your Majesty is so angry about your disappearance that he ordered Jingzhao mansion, the patrol department and the urban defense camp to look for you everywhere. From the moment we learned that you were missing to now, all day and night, we haven't closed our eyes and are looking for you."
