The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

The next morning, Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng's group went through the check-out procedures.

They left Fufeng City against the bitter cold wind.

On the top of the city wall, a general was staring at the direction in which the Yu Lin guards were leaving. The general didn't look back until the back of the pedestrian disappeared completely at the end of his sight.

He recruited a soldier and confessed in a low voice.

"You go to the Sheriff's Mansion and say that those people from Shengjing have already left."

"Here!"

The soldiers quickly ran down the city wall, turned on their horses, and headed straight for the sheriff's mansion.

Inside the county guard's mansion, Jian Shujie raised his eyebrows and smiled when he learned that Yu Linwei had left the city.

After the spy came back last night, he recounted the conversation between Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng verbatim.

At that time, Jian Shujie was still a little dubious.

He felt that Shang Kui and Wen Jiucheng wouldn't give up so easily, especially Wen Jiucheng, who seemed to have deep thoughts and didn't seem like someone who could be dismissed easily.

unless……

It was Wen Jiucheng who sensed something, but he was afraid of abusing others, so he deliberately swaggered out of the city to create the illusion that they had already left.

After their opponents let down their vigilance, they disguised themselves and sneaked into the city to fight back.

This meticulous and circuitous style of doing things is indeed in line with the feeling of old Wencheng.

Jian Shujie curled his lips and sneered, he hated this kind of people who like to pretend to be smart the most.

What does Wen Jiucheng think Fufeng City is? Come and go as you want, dreaming!

Still want to kill the carbine?

There is absolutely no such possibility!

Jian Shujie called Chang Shi and gave instructions.

"The order has been passed down. From today onwards, the guards at the gates of the city will be strengthened. Anyone who enters the city from other places must be strictly checked. If any suspicious person is found, they will be taken seriously and sent to prison!"

"Here!"

There are four gates in Fufeng City, including two large gates and two small gates.

After receiving the order from the governor, all four city gates were put under martial law.

When the night was getting dark, Jian Shujie washed up and went to bed after dinner as usual.

While he was falling into a drowsy sleep, he suddenly heard screams from outside.

"There are thieves! Come quickly! There are thieves in the house!"

Jian Shujie woke up suddenly from his sleep.

He quickly threw off the quilt and sat up, casually pulled off the coat hanging by the bed and put it on, before he even had time to put on his socks, he rushed out with his shoes.

As soon as the door was opened, the cold wind poured into the room, making him shiver.

But he didn't care about so much, he endured the cold and ran out.

It just so happened that the butler led a group of people to run here.

Jian Shujie grabbed the housekeeper and asked sharply.

"What's going on? Why are there thieves in the mansion?"

The housekeeper obviously just got up from the bed, his clothes were not properly dressed, and his hair was messed up.

he said quickly.

"I don't know the specifics, I only know that there are thieves in the mansion.

Now the guards in the mansion have all moved, and everyone is tracking down the whereabouts of the thief.

It's very cold outside, my lord, please go back to your room and stay.

We will be here to protect your safety.

With so many guards catching a small thief, they will definitely be caught soon, so don't worry too much, my lord. "

Jian Shujie was only wearing a coat, and the winter night was cold. He just stood outside for a while, and his hands and feet were numb from the cold.

He turned and went back into the warm room.

Before the thief was caught, Jian Shujie lost all sleepiness.

Under the service of his servants, he dressed his clothes, shoes and socks neatly.

It was already late at night, but the county guard's mansion was still brightly lit, and there were people running back and forth everywhere in the mansion, and shouts could be heard from time to time, it was even more lively than the temple fair during the Chinese New Year.

Jian Shujie waited patiently for a while, but he never waited for the news that the thief had been caught.

His patience was gradually exhausted, and he asked with a frown.

"Didn't you say there was only one thief? Why haven't you caught it yet?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "I'll go ask now, sir, please wait a moment."

He ran out in a hurry and came back quickly.

"My lord, the thief hid after he was discovered. The guards searched the entire county guard's mansion, but they couldn't find the thief. What's even more strange is that nothing was lost in the mansion. I don't know that the thief tried every means to find the thief. What are you going to do infiltrating the mansion?"

In the end, the housekeeper also felt that this matter was very strange.

Jian Shujie didn't know what he thought of, but his face changed suddenly.

He hurriedly asked: "Have the guards searched the West Court?"

The butler shook his head: "No, the west courtyard is where Madam lives. Madam is seriously ill. The doctor said that she must rest. The guards are afraid of frightening Madam, so no one dares to enter the west courtyard."

Jian Shujie cursed in a low voice: "That bastard must be in the west courtyard!"

He pushed the butler away, stood up and rushed out.

The housekeeper was stunned by the sudden action of the sheriff.

But he reacted quickly, and hurriedly led a group of servants to chase after him.

"My lord, please slow down, the road is slippery in the dark, be careful of falling!"

Jian Shujie is almost dying of anxiety now, how can he have the mood to slip or not? !

He almost exerted all his strength, and ran all the way to the west courtyard.

At this time, the gate of the West Courtyard was closed, and there were several guards wandering outside the West Courtyard. They obviously wanted to go in and search, but they were afraid of disturbing Madam, so they hesitated for a while, not knowing what to do.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Sheriff, the guards hurriedly knelt down on one knee.

"I pay my respects to the governor!"

Without looking at the guards, Jian Shujie strode forward and slammed on the gate of the west courtyard.

Soon the courtyard door was opened.

The person who opened the door was a rough envoy woman. She had actually heard the noise outside and knew that a thief had entered the mansion. She was afraid that the thief would break into the west courtyard, so she immediately closed the courtyard door and locked it from the inside. .

At this time, seeing the county sheriff coming in person, the mother-in-law knelt down with a plop as if seeing a savior.

Jian Shujie asked sharply, "Did the thief enter the west courtyard?"

The mother-in-law shook her head quickly without thinking about it.

"No! The servant has been guarding here, and no one has been seen entering the west courtyard."

Jian Shujie asked again: "Where is Madam?"

Mother-in-law: "Madame is still sleeping."

Jian Shujie strode into the west courtyard and went straight to the bedroom of the main house.

The door of the bedroom was tightly closed, and a little maid was guarding the door.

The servant girl was still a little drowsy at first, but when she suddenly saw the sheriff rushing over aggressively with a large group of people, her drowsiness was instantly frightened away.

She hurriedly bowed her knees and saluted: "My servant pays homage to the governor!"

Jian Shujie glanced at the closed door and asked in a low voice.

"Madam still resting?"

The servant girl nodded vigorously: "Yes."

Jian Shujie: "Has anyone else been here?"

The maid hurriedly shook her head: "No!"

Jian Shujie was a little relieved.

But just to be on the safe side, he decided to go in and take a look himself.
