Chapter 423

"What, can't find it?"

In the sheriff's house, Du Qianqian listened to the housekeeper's report and patted the table angrily: "what a waste. You can't find two people. What's the use of taking you?"

The housekeeper was frightened and said, "excuse me, miss. As soon as I heard that the two embroiderers were missing, I immediately took someone to find them. But the shopkeeper of Wu Fangji said that they didn't send anyone to the sheriff's house, let alone a embroiderer named Xiaoqing..."

"Nonsense!" Dong'Er angrily said, "how can you not? Housekeeper Wang, if you can't find someone yourself, can you shirk your responsibility?"

Housekeeper Wang is also an old man in the sheriff's mansion. Although he talks and laughs at Dong'Er, he also looks at Du Qianqian's face. Now the embroiderer who made Du Qianqian's wedding clothes is missing. If she fails to make the wedding clothes on schedule, it will affect the wedding date. This is a big event. Housekeeper Wang will never take responsibility at this time.

With a stiff face, housekeeper Wang said faintly: "miss Dong'Er should be responsible. I naturally do my best for the sake of adults and young ladies. Wu Fangji, I personally took someone to check, and I really couldn't find anyone. And..."

He turned to look at Du Qianqian, and his voice naturally converged a lot: "Miss, the villain dares to guarantee with his head. The two embroidered niangs are definitely not Wu Fangji's people, but as for the origin, the villain is not sure."

"What are you talking about? It's not written by Wu Fang?" Du Qianqian was confused when he heard the news. She kept wringing the silk in her hand in anger and wanted to tear it up: "I don't care, housekeeper Wang. Anyway, you brought the two people to see Miss Ben. I'll ask for you. It doesn't matter if they're gone, but what about Miss Ben's wedding dress?"

Seeing Du Qianqian scolding housekeeper Wang, Dong'Er seemed to be supported and said with a sneer: "yes, housekeeper Wang, do you know that if the young lady doesn't have her wedding clothes, she can't get married. If you know what's wrong at that time, you'll have to take full responsibility."

"Well, miss..." housekeeper Wang was a little frightened. He was indeed a little careless at the beginning, but how did he know that there would be a problem with the two embroiderers? And after two days, the young lady didn't say anything. She also met the embroidered mother named Xiaoqing and asked.

Now xiuniang is gone. Who knows if she is scared away by the miss's temper? Housekeeper Wang didn't know du Qianqian's temper, but he didn't dare to say it.

Looking at housekeeper Wang's squeaky and speechless appearance, Du Qingqing was even more annoyed: "Why are you still pestling here? Why don't you go and find someone for me?"

Just then, Du Ji'an came. He was dressed in a dark blue brocade robe. He came with a negative hand. With a few smiles on his face, he glanced faintly: "what's the matter, my good daughter? How can you lose your temper?"

When Du Qingqing saw that Du Ji'an came, he got a backer. He generally pointed to housekeeper Wang and said with hatred: "Dad, it's not him. He can't find anyone. It's stupid."

"Who are you looking for?" Du Ji'an West Lake was in a good mood and asked patiently.

"He asked him to find two embroidered women. He had been looking for them all day, but he came back and told me he couldn't find them. Dad, don't you think he's useless at all? If he can't find someone, his daughter's wedding dress can't be made, how can he get married at that time."

When Du Ji'an listened to Du Qianqian's story, his face sank: "there are still a few days to go. Why hasn't such an important thing been done yet?"

"How does my daughter know? It's not all for them." Du Qianqian wrinkled his nose and looked worried and indifferent.

"Xiuniang suddenly disappeared and couldn't find it?" Du Ji'an murmured, "and both are missing?"

He couldn't help wondering if there would be any problem. At this moment, no matter what happens, it is no small matter. What's more, there is no such key event as wedding clothes? Could someone be making trouble from it?

Du Ji'an has been having trouble sleeping and eating recently because of the major events he has planned. It is inevitable that he thinks more. He didn't want to be better. When he thought about it, he became more and more worried. If it was normal, he would never care about the disappearance of two servants. It's a big deal to find someone else to make a set of embroidered clothes.

Now it's about his life and wealth. How can he be careless?

His face became more and more ugly and his heart felt more and more wrong. Du Ji'an brushed his sleeve fiercely and left without saying a word. Du Qianqian was stunned on the spot: "Dad, how did you go? You haven't told your daughter what to do?"

But no matter what Du Qianqian called behind, Du Ji'an didn't look back. He suddenly had a bad hunch that he should immediately order someone to find out, otherwise he was afraid of a real accident.

However, half an hour later, the sheriff's house had sent soldiers to check the suspicious people in the whole city. In particular, the major cloth houses, embroidery houses and Wu Fangji sent people to directly monitor them, which made everyone panic and didn't know what had happened.

When the people in the prefectural government investigated the background of Wu Fangju, Du Ji'an felt that it was no small matter.

He didn't think that the embroidering village for wedding clothes, which his daughter said, was actually an industry under the name of Nangong Yu, the second prince. Although Nangong Yu is not the prince, he is not with Nangong Chen, the fifth prince.

Now Du Ji'an has cooperated with Nangong Chen. How can he have no doubt about other princes?

"Immediately block the gate and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

After suspecting the inextricable relationship between this matter and Nangong Yu, Du Ji'an immediately gave this order. Although he was not sure whether Nangong Yu had intervened in this matter, he couldn't get lucky. Moreover, the matter should be notified to the fifth prince as soon as possible, so as not to have an accident when doing it.

On the other side, Luo qingluan, who was waiting for Nalan's reply in the inn, heard the news of Xu Wei's inquiry, and immediately realized that it was wrong: "what? The city gate is not allowed to go in and out, and there are people from the sheriff's office watching closely?"

Xu Wei nodded: "yes, miss, just now I wanted to go out and ask some questions from the brothers of the dark night hall. I saw that the people of the sheriff's house came suddenly at the gate of the city and set a checkpoint at the gate."

The news was obviously just released, and everyone didn't know it. Luo qingluan's heart sank and asked, "what's the situation now?"

Xu Wei replied, "at the beginning, people thought there was nothing and didn't pay attention to it. Several business merchants had called for shipment and planned to break in, but they were arrested immediately. Later, everyone knew it was true, but the soldiers of the sheriff's house started first and were not polite. Although the crowd was excited, no one dared to make trouble again."

"Miss, I'm afraid something's wrong." Xu Lian also felt something wrong.

No one dares to make a fuss about such a big event as blocking the city gate, which is related to the daily travel and life of the people. Is it... It's absolutely unusual. Luo qingluan more and more felt that there was a problem: "is there a lot of people sent by the sheriff's office and forced to set up cards?"

Xu Wei nodded: "yes, miss, just closing one gate, they sent more than 100 government soldiers to guard directly at the gate, and their subordinates also went to another gate. The same is true. No ordinary people dare to make trouble in such a big battle."

The head of a county, naturally, his subordinates also control a certain number of troops. According to the laws of the Western Chu state, the number of guards of the prefectural prefecture shall not exceed 500, which is used to prevent the rampant mountain bandits and undertake the security of patrolling the city, fire and other matters. But now, the sheriff's office sent nearly 300 people at once. I can think of the seriousness of the matter.

Did Du Ji'an notice anything? Luo qingluan immediately thought of another point. Should it be because he wanted to rebel?

Luo qingluan couldn't guess, but she couldn't ignore it. It seems that she can't stay in Jiangbei County. She must rush to the capital as soon as possible to meet Nalan at night. However, Luo qingluan hesitated again. She was replying to her in Nangong Qing. Otherwise, she didn't know where Nalan night was. If she left, how would she know?

"Miss, what shall we do now?" Xu Lian asked as soon as she heard it was so serious.

Luo qingluan didn't answer for a moment and frowned deeply.

Xu Wei personally checked the situation in the street. He knew it best, Hearing the speech, he said in a deep voice: "Miss, I think we still have to leave here. It's better to leave early. Now the whole Jiangbei County has been banned. It's uncertain what will happen in two days. If we stay here all the time, we will inevitably appear passive. If something really goes wrong, it will be more difficult to go again."

Xu Lian nodded: "yes, miss, Xu Wei is right. I think we'd better leave Jiangbei County earlier. Now they have just closed the city. It should not be very tight. We should be able to take you and leave through the channel of the dark night hall."

Luo qingluan didn't think about it for too long. She soon decided that she'd better hurry to the capital to find Nalan night. Although she doesn't know the whereabouts of Nalan night for the time being, as long as she asks Nangong Qing directly, she will naturally know.

Soon, Luo qingluan asked Xu Wei to find Chen Dong and told him the decision.

"Miss, do you want to leave Jiangbei County? Alas... If it was a day or even a few hours earlier, it would be no problem, but now... I'm afraid it's a little difficult." Chen Dong's face was solemn and said the investigation of the dark night again. "The city closure order implemented in Jiangbei County has affected many people, including the industry of the dark night hall. Some channels that we used to use have been blocked."

Hearing the news, Luo qingluan felt more and more difficult. If Du Ji'an didn't find something, how could he suddenly issue such a strict City closure order and even affect the dark night hall?

In particular, Chen Dong also told Luo qingluan that Du Ji had arranged a large number of people to search cloth Village and embroidery workshop. Luo qingluan finally understood the reason. I'm afraid the disappearance of her and fanggu made Du Jian suspicious and suspected that the news had been leaked. But Du Ji'an should not be sure, so he just closed the city. Otherwise, I'm afraid the whole Jiangbei County has been in chaos.

It seems that Du Ji'an has put all his wealth in order to rebel. Otherwise, how dare he directly seal the city?

Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the top when the news reaches the capital?

Although Chen Dong knows that rocky still wants to leave, which is difficult, he also knows that the situation is critical at this time. After thinking about it, he said, "in that case, why don't we break in? Those channels are already in danger of exposure. Why don't we take all the people and escort the young lady away. With so many of us, it shouldn't be too difficult."

If it were normal, Luo qingluan would naturally worry about the safety of everyone and deny the resolution. But now it's the last moment. It's only a few days away from Nangong Chen's wedding. Moreover, Luo qingluan hasn't received the reply from Nalan night so far. She doesn't know whether she has sent the news to Nalan night. If something happens in the middle and leads to the delay of the message, Luo qingluan can't imagine the consequences.

"Well, at this time, we have to take risks. Xu Lian, Xu Wei, go and prepare. We'll leave overnight." Luo qingluan's resolute way flashed across his eyebrows.
