Tang Zhao and Mingda's carriage followed the hound to the east gate.

In order not to scare the snake away, both of them went back to the mansion to change into an unremarkable carriage, and naturally the servants of the princess mansion did not dare to make it public.He led the hound and sniffed twice inside and outside the city gate like walking a dog - the powder is specially allocated for dogs to smell, as long as the hound has smelled it once, and the slight smell remains after that, don't try to hide it from them nose.

It's a pity that the three gates of the east city came down, and the hounds they brought didn't respond at all.But at the moment when the two were slightly disappointed, someone came to report in a hurry. It turned out that the hound had reacted at Yongxing Gate in the south.

Ming Da was refreshed when he heard the words, and immediately ordered: "Go to Yongxing Gate."

The coachman promised outside, and was about to raise his whip, he heard Mingda's order: "Send someone back to the princess mansion to send a message, and transfer two hundred soldiers to Yongxingmen to obey orders." While talking, she took out a token and handed it out .

In addition to the hidden guards and ordinary guards, the princess mansion, like the prince's mansion, can also support soldiers according to the law.It's just that depending on the rank or favor, the number of soldiers that the Princess Mansion can have ranges from 800 to 800, while the rule for the Prince's Mansion is [-]—Princess Zhen Guo's rank is already the highest, but there are no more soldiers. Speaking of this, the number of soldiers raised by Mingda's mansion also exceeded [-] in the early years.

The soldiers are different from ordinary guards, they are all elites selected from the Hundred Wars Army, and they are not much inferior to the elites of the Forbidden Army.Coupled with excellent armor equipment, even if it is only 800 or 200 people, it is a force that cannot be underestimated.

After more than ten years since he left the palace to build a mansion, this was the first time that Ming Da used his own soldiers. The servants who obeyed orders from outside were all stunned, and then stepped forward to take the token tremblingly.Then he made a promise, turned around and ran towards the princess mansion.

When the servant who carried the letter ran away, the coachman saw that the princess had no other orders, so he raised his whip and urged the horse.

The carriage ran on the road paved with bluestone slabs, it was not as smooth as Mingda's ordinary carriage, but the driver's driving skills were obviously good, he tried his best to keep the carriage stable while driving the carriage extremely fast.It only took about half an hour to drive the carriage from the east gate to the south gate, and the servant of the Princess Mansion outside the gate was still waiting with the hound that sniffed out the problem.

When getting off the carriage, Xu was too fast and bumpy, Mingda's feet went limp.Fortunately, Tang Zhao was beside her and hugged her, which prevented her from falling.

The servants of the princess mansion were not surprised by the scene, and consciously lowered their heads to avoid looking, and did not look at it.

Tang Zhao carefully helped the man stand upright, and asked softly, "How are you doing, are you okay?"

At this moment, Mingda is not easy to cling to her under the watchful eyes of everyone at the city gate. After standing firmly, he shook his head: "It's okay, it's probably because of the poor blood flow after sitting in the car for a long time, and it's all right now."

Only then did Tang Zhao feel relieved, and looked up to the sky again, only to see that the sun had already set to the west.It turned out that the two of them had spent nearly an afternoon in the carriage before they knew it. Fortunately, their busyness was not in vain, and the clue was right in front of them—they also brought the hound from the East City Gate with them. This dog had just left the city gate. Then he barked, and the excited look obviously found something.

Following Tang Zhao's gaze, Mingda looked up at the sky, first frowned, and then stretched out: "It's getting late, but luckily I found it, otherwise people would run away from the capital for a few days, It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

No matter how good the hound's nose is, and no matter how strong the smell of Tang Zhao's medicine is, he can't smell it even a hundred or eighty miles away.

Tang Zhao nodded at first when he heard the words, but then said: "It's not like running a hundred and eighty miles. Your Highness, you probably haven't met Emperor Yanping. He is much older than his peers. Now the young emperor has a rare chance to ascend the throne. He can't wait." I won’t wait any longer. So from what I can see, even if he escaped from the imperial army, he probably won’t escape from the capital, and he should be hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity.”

Mingda was slightly startled when he heard the words, and immediately couldn't help but think of the rebellion 12 years ago—it was also the handiwork of Emperor Yanping, who wanted to destroy Emperor Wuxing's lineage during the change of imperial power, so as to ascend the throne again.It's a pity that things didn't work out in the end, and was calmed down by Ding Guogong in time. Emperor Yanping's choice at that time was to leave with one blow, and he slipped away faster than Yuyu.

It was probably the impression left at that time. After Mingda learned that Emperor Yanping had escaped, what he was most worried about was that he would run away and hibernate again.After listening to Tang Zhao's words now, she realized that Emperor Yanping might not have time to wait for the next opportunity.

Thinking of this, Mingda's expression became a little more serious: "Then let him escape this time."

The soldiers from the Princess Mansion came very quickly, and did not keep Mingda and the others waiting for long.

Normally, soldiers are regarded as private soldiers, no matter the princess's mansion or the king's mansion, they will not be dispatched easily.Occasionally, when such a force in armor suddenly appeared on the street, it would immediately arouse the vigilance of the Jingzhao Mansion and the Fourth Battalion.Therefore, once the soldiers leave the mansion, the master will often send a message to Jingzhao Mansion and Siying first, so as not to be misunderstood as treason.

Mingda was in a hurry to arrest people, so naturally he didn't have time to say hello to Jingzhao Mansion and Siying.But the Princess Mansion was originally in full swing, and now the Dachang Princess can be said to have power over the government and the public. Neither the Jingzhao Mansion nor the Siying obviously want to offend her.

What's more, the soldiers were going to Yongxing Gate, not the palace, so everyone turned a blind eye.

Seeing the soldiers arriving, Ming Da didn't delay, boarded the carriage again and ordered: "The hounds lead the way, the soldiers follow."

Everyone responded in unison, even the two hounds suddenly became excited as if they understood Mingda's words.When the dog-leading servant took a step forward, the two dogs barked and rushed towards one direction. The leash was straightened in an instant, and the dog-leader was almost dragged to run in that direction.The armored soldiers behind him followed, and they ran no slower than those who were dragged away by dogs.

Just after leaving the capital, there was only one official road, but after running for a few miles, there was a fork gradually.There are roads to the Huguo Temple to offer incense, roads to nearby villages, and roads to large courtyards on the outskirts of the city...

There are many nobles in Beijing, not to mention the magnificent mansions in the city, most of them also buy properties in the suburbs.There are three or five other courtyards in the outskirts of Beijing, and there are manors such as fertile fields, orchards, fish ponds, etc., and the production is not only used for the princess's mansion, but also has a lot of surplus.There are also rich businessmen who are simply rich, not as powerful as officials, but they also love to find ways to buy properties in the suburbs of Beijing.

After coming and going, the other courtyards and manors on the outskirts of the city became a piece. From a distance, there are blue bricks and black tiles everywhere, which has become another kind of scenery.

Of course, neither Mingda nor the two hundred soldiers she brought came to see the scenery.

When they arrived at this other courtyard, the sky was already dark.The two hounds dragged the dog handler and ran to a different yard and stopped, and then found the target, and barked "bark" again towards the gate.

The servant leading the dog was startled, not sure what Mingda meant, fearing that the barking of the dog would disturb the people in the other courtyard, he hastily pressed the dog's mouth.It's a pity that the neighbors on the left and right also have dogs. When the two hounds barked, the surrounding dogs also barked.

For a while the dogs barked continuously, as long as the ears were not deaf, everyone should have heard it.

The servants who followed were a little flustered, and they all turned their heads to look at Mingda's face.On the other hand, the two hundred soldiers did not respond at all. Before receiving the order, they just stood quietly and orderly, like wood carvings and stone statues.But as long as Mingda gave an order, these elite soldiers would break open the gate of the courtyard without hesitation, rush into the other courtyard, and complete Mingda's order.

Tang Zhao first jumped out of the carriage, turned around to help Mingda, took the time to look at the two hounds whose mouths were pinched and were still excited, and then looked at the other courtyard with the closed gate in front of him, and said softly: "He should be here .”

Mingda held Tang Zhao's hand and got off the carriage, only took a look at the other courtyard, and then ordered: "Fifty soldiers, surround this courtyard, and the rest rush in and take down all the people in this courtyard." .”

The soldiers got the order, agreed in unison, and started to act immediately.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the door, with some complaints: "What's the matter with these dogs, barking endlessly? It's so noisy..." He opened the door while speaking, originally intending to go to the neighbor's house to talk.As a result, before the door was completely opened, he saw a neat army outside, and before he could react, he was broken into the door.

The one who opened the door was the gatekeeper of the other courtyard. He didn't know the clothes of the intruding soldiers, but he knew very well that he couldn't offend these officials.So without further ado, he quickly hid in the corner by the door with his head in his arms, hoping that these people would not see him.

It's a pity that the extravagant request was just an extravagant request, and soon a sharp steel knife was placed on the concierge's neck.

The concierge was not the only one who had this kind of experience, when the soldiers rushed into the other courtyard, they treated everyone like this.Some of the nurses wanted to resist because of their physical strength, but in the end it was just an extra procedure of being beaten, and they still ended up in the same way after a while.

This is just an ordinary courtyard. For the soldiers of the Princess Mansion, it should not be too easy to take it down.

Neither Tang Zhao nor Mingda was in a hurry to follow. The two stood outside the courtyard and watched for a while. When Tang Zhao thought of something, he pointed to a servant and said, "Go back to the capital and check with the government. Which one does the other courtyard belong to?"

The servant got the order and hurried back to Beijing.

Mingda glanced at it and said nothing, but felt that it was probably useless, and no one would be so stupid as to put the problematic other courtyard under his own name.But this time they came very quickly, if they were lucky enough, they might be able to block the person who helped Emperor Yanping.Even if they were unlucky, there would be more time for interrogation after taking down Emperor Yanping—they would definitely not hand him over this time.

After Tang Zhao finished giving orders, Mingda said, "Let's go, the soldiers should have controlled the situation, let's go in and have a look."

Tang Zhao nodded, and the two immediately stepped into the other courtyard together, Tang Zhao carefully guarded Mingda whether consciously or not.But this time her vigilance was unnecessary, because the soldiers along the way had already cleaned up the other courtyard, and they were not in danger.

It's just that the two walked all the way to the backyard, but what was waiting for them was not good news.

The cunning Emperor Yanping died, and was poisoned to death the moment before they broke in, without even leaving a word.
