The imperial concubine had been missing for a day and a night. If the kidnappers had not stopped all the way, they should have left the jurisdiction of Shengjing with the imperial concubine at this time.

When it comes to the boundaries of other counties, Jingzhao House is not so easy to interfere.

But the emperor doesn't care about these, he just wants the result.

Not only the Jingzhao Mansion, but also people from the City Defense Battalion and the Patrol Division were sent out to search for the whereabouts of the imperial concubine.

No one dared to slack off until the emperor let go.

Mei Guangtao had spent the night in the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, and his face was very ugly.

Just when he was about to take a quiet nap for a while, Doctor Tang came to the door.

Mei Guangtao was so energetic that he didn't want to chat with the other party, so he asked directly.

"Is something wrong?"

Doctor Tang: "The little lady who was rescued yesterday woke up. She said she wanted to see you."

Mei Guangtao thought that the little lady wanted to thank him in person. He had encountered many such things before, and immediately rejected it.

"No, let her have a good rest. I've been very busy these days. I'll talk about it later."

Doctor Tang was not surprised by this result. He saw that Mei Guangtao's face was very bad, and knowing that the lord was staying up late again, he suggested.

"While there is nothing to do now, you should take a break now, the next official is leaving."

Mei Guangtao waved his hand: "Go on with your business."

Doctor Tang bowed his hands to him, turned around and walked out.

Mei Guangtao yawned, looking like he was very sleepy.

At this moment, a yamen hurried in and said in a panic.

"Master Fu Yin, Doctor Tang, the two people who brought them back yesterday committed suicide!"

Doctor Tang stopped in his footsteps, and suddenly turned to look at the yamen.

Mei Guangtao's movements also froze.

He asked in astonishment, "Who did you say committed suicide?"

The yamen said quickly.

"Didn't I bring back six people from the southwest official road outside the city yesterday.

Two of them were seriously injured and are being treated in prison.

Everything was fine before.

Who would have guessed that last night, the two quietly smashed the bowl from which they were drinking the medicine, and then cut their throats with a piece of porcelain.

By the time we found them this morning, they were all dead! "

Mei Guangtao has been busy looking for the imperial concubine for the past two days. For those cases that are urgently handled, they will be handed over to the people under him. The less urgent cases will be put aside for the time being. cooking.

Like the six people who were brought back yesterday, they belonged to a case that was not handled in a hurry.

Mei Guangtao asked people to put them in jail and wait for their fate.

In order to avoid conflicts between the two sides, the three people who fought were locked together, and the other two injured were locked together. As for the comatose little lady, she was temporarily settled in the guest room in the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion as the victim.

But what is unexpected is that the two injured people actually committed suicide!

Mei Guangtao touched his forehead, knowing that his plan to rest for a while was completely lost.

He asked someone to bring an official hat to cover his precarious hairline, and said to Doctor Tang.

"Come on, let's go to the prison with me."

Doctor Tang cupped his hands and said, "Here."

In the dimly lit cell, two people were lying on the ground, their necks were brutally cut, blood stained the fronts of their clothes, and pooled into a pool of sticky scarlet blood under them.

In their hands, there are still broken pieces of porcelain.

The sharp tiles were stained with blood.

Doctor Tang walked over to check and determined that both of them were dead and dead.

As for the cause of death, he died from excessive blood loss after being slit in the throat.

As a result, it turned out to be suicide.

Mei Guangtao's not-so-good-looking complexion had become extremely ugly at this time.

The imperial concubine has not yet been found, and now there is such a mess in the prison.

One wave after another.

God, this is deliberately not making his hairline easier!

Mei Guangtao looked at the restless jailers standing beside him, and said angrily.

"People killed themselves under your nose, how did you do things? All are fined for three months. If you commit any more crimes, you will go home and farm!"

The jailers hurriedly knelt down: "We know we're wrong, we'll change it!"

Mei Guangtao didn't look at them again.

He asked Dr. Tang to take the corpse to the house and check it carefully to see if he could find any other clues.

Doctor Tang asked, "Could it be that he committed suicide in fear of sin?"

Mei Guangtao: "It's just a fight, do you need to commit suicide in fear of crime?"

Doctor Tang: "I heard that the little lady said that these two people wanted to kidnap her, and the other three people were her brothers. In order to stand up for her, they were severely injured. These two people may be afraid that their crimes will be exposed. , so he committed suicide in fear of sin.”

Mei Guangtao still shook his head: "Probably not, even if you forcefully rob a civilian girl, it's just a tattoo and a distribution to join the army, and you won't commit suicide because of it."

He sighed: "It seems that I have to go see that little lady."

After leaving the cell, Mei Guangtao went straight to the guest room where Xiao Xixi was.

Xiao Xixi is lying on the bed at the moment, closing her eyes and resting.

Hearing the knock on the door, she sat up: "Please come in."

Mei Guangtao pushed open the door and walked in.

The moment he saw Xiao Xixi, he was stunned.

He had seen the imperial concubine in the palace before, so he naturally knew what the imperial concubine looked like.

Even though the little lady in front of her had taken off her makeup and wore a rough, coarse cloth dress without any decorations, and was far from the beloved concubine, her face still didn't change much.

Mei Guangtao recognized at a glance, this person is the missing imperial concubine!

The imperial concubine that the whole world is looking for is actually in the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion!

Could it be that this is the legend that there is no place to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it? !

Seeing him froze in place and motionless, Xiao Xixi asked inexplicably.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Mei Guangtao came back to his senses and hurriedly gave her a big gift.

He said with excitement: "Wei Chen paid a visit to the noble concubine, but Wei Chen didn't know that the noble concubine was coming, and I couldn't welcome her from afar, and I hope the concubine's forgiveness."

Xiao Xixi: "It's okay, those who don't know are innocent."

Mei Guangtao straightened up, his eyes glowing when he looked at the imperial concubine, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

At this moment, countless barrages appeared in the madness of his mind——

I have found the queen concubine!

I can get off work early!

I don't have to stay up all night anymore!

My hairline can be saved!

Seeing him stunned again, Xiao Xixi could only take the initiative to speak again.

"While Ben Gong was missing, what happened outside? What happened to the emperor?"

When it comes to business, Mei Guangtao instantly regained his composure and said quickly.

"Your Majesty was furious because of your disappearance, and ordered the people from Jingzhao House, the Patrol Division, and the City Defense Battalion to search everywhere. From the moment you learned of your disappearance, until now, all day and night, everyone has not slept. looking for you."
