Chapter 437： Zhan Yi's heart was clenching.

Chapter 437 Zhan Yi is heartbroken

"Master Guan, we didn't search it two days ago, why do we need to search again?" The housekeeper said and pushed the door to the widest opening: "Master Guan, you come in first, I will report to my lady right away."

Guards in black rushed in with officers and soldiers.

The housekeeper ran towards the hall at a trot, thinking to himself that it was really scary. Seeing the officers, soldiers and father-in-law behind him also following him, he did not dare to stop him.

"Master Zhan, Master Zhan." The butler ran straight into the hall. He was so flustered that he tripped over the threshold.

Zhan Yi was reading a book in the living room. When he heard the shout, he looked up and saw the housekeeper somersaulting in...

"what happened?"

As soon as he stood up, he saw the hidden guards from behind rushing into the hall with officers and soldiers.

The housekeeper got up from the ground regardless of the pain: "The official is here to search again."

Zhan Yi's eyelids twitched and he looked at the guards who walked in. He knew very clearly that those guards in black and gold-trimmed attire were the hidden guards around the emperor.

However, before he could react from the shock, he saw two father-in-laws walking in.

"Master Zhan." Eunuch Li saluted.

"This... Eunuch Li is also here to search for people?" Zhan Yi was even more shocked.

The emperor sent out the hidden guards and the father-in-law to look for the person. It would be terrible if the woman in the backyard was discovered.

"Yes, there were many clues in the city-wide search in the past two days. The identity of the thief has been determined and he is from the harem, so the emperor asked someone who has seen his appearance to follow the officers and soldiers in the search." Eunuch Li said.

"Eunuch Li, have you seen the thief?" Zhan Yi felt his heart twitch.

"Everyone in the harem has seen it."

Zhan Yi held the hand in his sleeve quietly, sweat overflowing from his palm.

"Call out all the female relatives in the mansion." The hidden guard's voice was cold and dull.

"This..." Zhan Yi hesitated slightly and looked at the housekeeper: "Go and call everyone to the front hall."

"Yes." The butler hurriedly exited the door.

The hidden guard winked at the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers dispersed in four groups, east, west, left and right.

"Why are you intruding?" Zhan Yi was already worried. Seeing that the officers and soldiers dispersed to search without saying hello, he was immediately unhappy. The hidden guard didn't even look at him, and several hidden guards following him flew away and disappeared.

"you…"

"Master Zhan, please don't be angry first. Searching all the mansions was ordered by the emperor. This matter is very serious and cannot be avoided in any mansion." Eunuch Li persuaded.

"Serious? How serious?" Zhan Yi asked in a low voice.

"The emperor is very angry. If anyone dares to hide, the end will be tragic."

Zhan Yi's heart skipped a beat. The search came very suddenly, and he had no chance to prepare. If someone recognized him—

The more he thought about it, the more restless he became, and he didn't dare to show it on the surface.

The people in the mansion were gradually brought to the front yard, and the maids and servants were divided into two groups.

"Eunuch Li, he also followed the officers and soldiers to search for people." Qian Fanji came over.

Eunuch Li saluted: "Qian Shangshu."

"Have they not been found yet?"

"Never."

"The city of Kyoto may be big or small. Eunuch Li is very busy."

"It's all for royal errands. I dare not claim to be busy. Why would Qian Shangshu be in the general's mansion?" Eunuch Li asked with a smile.

"Before dean Chen returned to Loushan, he specially asked this minister to give Miss Xiang some lectures."

Hearing this, Eunuch Li couldn't help but sigh: "Miss Xiang is so lucky."

While talking, noisy voices sounded.

Mrs. Zhan walked in front with Ye Qianning, and Zhan Chi walked on the left.

The housekeeper from the rear took the aunt and maid from the backyard, followed closely by the officers and soldiers, and the group walked into the front yard.
