When the carriage stopped again, Xie Shuyao and Meng Nianrui were both shocked.

I thought Jia Xuerui would send the things to some remote place and hide them, but I didn't expect him to come to Fan's house.

That is the home of Fan Yuqi’s father Fan Bo.

Fan Bo was a sixth-rank judge in the capital, not a particularly high-ranking official. He became famous only after his eldest daughter entered the palace and gained favor. How could Jia Xuerui be related to him?

After handing the things over to Fan Bo, Jia Xuerui received a large box of gold.

He was overjoyed, but at the same time, a question popped up in his mind, "I wonder what Mr. Fan likes. How come these things are worth so much money?"

He still had some self-awareness. The Duke's Mansion had always been composed of military generals and had not accumulated anything particularly valuable. Even if they had, it would be dwarfed by the gold.

Fan Bo casually picked up a military manual and was reading it with eyes shining. When he heard this question, his eyes suddenly became sharp, "Why are you asking so many questions? Do you want to live?"

Jia Xuerui nodded and said, "No, no, I'm leaving now. I promise I won't come back to the capital."

At the same time, Xie Shuyao and Meng Nianrui knew that they could not conduct further investigation on this trip, so they slipped out of the carriage and prepared to leave.

But as soon as the two got off the car, they were frightened by the teams of guards and quickly found places to hide.

These guards don't look like those from ordinary families. They are well-trained and equipped with swords. Their aura is no less than that of the Jinyiwei. If you don't know, you would think they are patrolling the imperial city.

At this time, Meng Nianrui was hiding behind the carriage, and Xie Shuyao was in the corner.

Seeing that the guards were about to approach Meng Nianrui, Xie Shuyao gestured and said, "I can run fast. I'll lead them away. You go home first."

Meng Nianrui had never done such an exciting thing in her life. She was so scared that she couldn't say anything. She just shook her head like a rattle.

Seeing the patrolling guards walking towards Meng Nianrui, Xie Shuyao held her breath, lifted her skirt and ran away.

The busiest Qianmen Street is just ahead. You will be safe once you get there.

After hearing the noise, the patrolling guards turned and walked in the opposite direction.

At the same time, a servant walked towards Fan Bo in a panic, bent down and whispered a few words in his ear, which made Fan Bo's face change immediately.

"Chase, send out all the guards, find him at all costs!"

The Saint's Birthday is a great day to have fun with the people, but it is also a great time to do some small things.

Jia Xuerui chose to take action during these few days, and Pei Jingyi, who was lurking in the dark, also took action.

Although he captured all the soldiers of Daxia hidden outside the capital, the problem was not completely eradicated.

These people came in from Daxia and passed through layers of checkpoints. It would have been impossible for them to do so without the support of insiders and outsiders.

He stayed in the capital for another purpose, which was to catch all these people in one fell swoop.

At this time, he had found the spy through the secret letter that he intercepted yesterday.

Who could have thought that an ordinary civil servant would have such close ties with Daxia.

Pei Jingyi found a booklet filled with information about Zhao's generals in the secret compartment of Fan Bo's study, including the subordinates each man commanded, the tactics he was good at using, and even a half-drawn defense map.

After obtaining the evidence, Pei Jingyi left quickly, but as soon as he left, the patrolling guards discovered something unusual in the study.

In an instant, hundreds of guards from Fan's residence came out in full force.

Pei Jingyi climbed walls and flew over rooftops. After noticing something strange behind him, he hid in a corner, took off his nightgown, changed into ordinary clothes and ran towards Qianmen Street.

At the same time, in the next alley, Xie Shuyao was running in fear.

Just now on the way, she reviewed the affairs of the Meng family and suddenly felt that it was not simple.

The Meng family has been a family of military generals for generations. Is there anything more valuable than gold?

That group of people must have some ulterior motive. If they catch her, they will definitely kill her.

Before they reached the street, a man suddenly came out from the other direction of the alley. Xie Shuyao thought it was someone from the Fan family who was chasing them, and her heart skipped a beat.

Coincidentally, at this moment, fireworks exploded outside, and the light shone on the two people's faces. Their eyes met, and both of them showed surprise.

"Yan Hui?"

"It's you?"
