After returning to the small courtyard he rented, Ning Xiao carefully read all the evidence, and then collected these letters and lists into the space. This was the safest way.

Ning Xiao also guessed what happened tonight. When the guards and secret guards wake up, they will definitely know what happened, and they will probably report it to King An.

Sure enough, when Xiao Linzi went out to buy groceries early the next morning, he encountered officers and soldiers all over the street searching door to door. Xiao Linzi was so frightened that he stopped buying groceries and hurriedly returned to the small yard.

"Master, Master, the streets are full of officers and soldiers now, they are searching house to house!"

Xiao Linzi naturally knew the purpose of his son's visit to Jizhou Prefecture, so he was guessing, looking at the appearance of the officers and soldiers, could it be that his son had done something in the past few days? But he didn't dare to ask.

Ning Xiao also just got up, mainly because he slept a little late last night, so he didn't even open his eyes when he heard this.

"Don't pay too much attention. We are just ordinary people. If you want to search, let them search. Our family is innocent. Remember that we are here for fun, okay?"

Xiao Linzi naturally understood the importance and nodded.

"Don't worry, young master, the little one won't go out."

Ning Xiao was washing up under Xiao Linzi's service when the courtyard door was kicked open. Ning Xiao was bending over to wash his face without raising his head, just washing himself.

"Who is so rude!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and realized it was a group of officers and soldiers. He blinked in confusion.

"Xiao Linzi, have you committed something? Otherwise, why would officers and soldiers come to our place in the future?"

While they were talking, the group of officers and soldiers walked in, and the leader looked at the handsome Ning Xiao and Xiao Linzi.

"You two are not from Jizhou Prefecture, right?"

Ning Xiao nodded and cupped his hands.

"Indeed, I am from the capital."

When the officer and soldier heard Ning Xiao say he was from the capital, his eyes narrowed, and then he smiled.

"Bring the road guide and Hu Tie for a look."

Ning Xiao motioned to Xiao Linzi to take out the road guide and household stickers.

"My lord, what are you busy with so early in the morning? To be honest, I just walked around and had fun. I heard that Jizhou Prefecture has outstanding people, so I came to take a look."

The leading officers and soldiers glanced at the simple courtyard, and were thinking whether the handsome young man in front of them was a thief who stole the palace. However, after taking a look, they found that this man had no inner strength. It showed that this person was not good at martial arts, so he gave up the idea for the time being.

Xiao Linzi came out of the house and took out Ning Xiao's household post and road guide. After careful inspection, the officer and soldier returned the household post and road guide to Xiao Linzi again.

"Master Ning, we must follow the rules and we still need to go in and take a look!"

Ning Xiao naturally understood the meaning and said to Xiao Linzi.

"Take the officials to take a good look at each room, and take a look at Xiao Linzi's purse."

Xiao Linzi understood Ning Xiao's meaning instantly, nodded, and then said to the other officers and soldiers.

"My lords, please be gentle. This yard is only rented by my young master. Many of the things in it belong to the original owner, but they must not be damaged!"

Then, under the leadership of Xiao Linzi, a group of officers and soldiers began to search rooms one by one. Here, Ning Xiao also walked up to the leading officer and soldier, and while others were searching the house, he quickly took out a Ingots of silver were stuffed into the hands of the leading officer and soldier.

"My lord, what happened to your search this early in the morning?"

"Oh, what else can happen in the future? During this period, the palace was robbed twice in succession, which made His Royal Highness Prince An furious."

Ning Xiao showed a look of surprise at the right time and hesitated for a long time.

"No way! Who is so bold as to dare to steal from the palace?"

Because they had received the benefits, the leading officers and soldiers were willing to talk more to Ning Xiao, so he said.

"Oh, who knows? We started searching house to house in the city early in the morning. The prince also ordered that all things with paper be searched away. I was confused. Wasn't all the money stolen? Silver jewelry or something? But this time the thief actually stole one of the prince's favorite books. I heard that it was an ancient book, the notes of a master from a thousand years ago."

Ning Xiao was amused when he heard this. King An did not dare to disclose the correspondence between himself and King Duan of the capital, so now he had to use this excuse to fool these officers and soldiers.

During the chat, the officers and soldiers who went into the room to search also came out. They shook their heads at the leading officer and soldier, indicating that nothing was found in the search, and the leading officer and soldier handed over to Ning Xiao.

"Thank you Mr. Ning for your help. We will continue to search elsewhere, so we will say goodbye now."

Ning Xiao also sent him away politely, and when everyone left Ning Xiao's courtyard,

"Let's go inside, your young master, I'm hungry."

Xiaolinzi said after entering the house.

"Young master, I haven't bought these vegetables yet, and the rice and noodles are gone. How about I go out and buy you some now to satisfy my stomach first?"

"Well, let's go. By the way, I want to know how the guards at the city gate are doing?"

Mainly if Ning Xiao wants to go out of the city and continue to explore where King An's private barracks is! This project is not small. You must know that the Langqi Mountain Range is not small. If you want to find it yourself, although it is not difficult, it will take a lot of time.

Sure enough, after Xiao Linzi came back from the street, Ning Xiao knew it and had to put aside his plan to leave the city temporarily because the city gate was closed and he didn't know when it would be opened!

In the next few days, the city gates in Jizhou's capital city were all closed, and the people basically didn't go out if they had nothing to do. However, the city gates were opened after being closed for three days. Ning Xiao knew that closing the city gates this time would not be too much. For a long time, because the people need to live, the city gate is closed. Vegetables, grain, and dry firewood cannot enter the city gate, and many people in the city cannot survive.

After the city gate was opened, although people could enter and exit the city gate, the inspection was extremely strict, so Ning Xiao did not plan to leave the city immediately. He was afraid of arousing King An's suspicion.

After three days, the atmosphere in the city improved a lot, and many people dared to take to the streets. Ning Xiao then led Xiao Linzi out of the city gate in a big way. Of course, everything he brought was It was inspected carefully.

After leaving the city, Ning Xiao took Xiao Linzi towards the north of Jizhou Prefecture. They went to Beidi this time to visit Langqi Mountain. If everything went well, they would be able to find King An soon. That barracks.
