The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue did not leave the manor for two consecutive nights. On the third night, after the children went to sleep, she packed her things and prepared to leave the manor.

After habitually surveying the area within a 500-meter radius, I discovered a man in black hiding in a tree about 300 meters away at the three o'clock position outside the Prince's Mansion.

She summoned a guard and told him to report that someone was spying outside Ye Muchen's residence. She said nothing else, trusting that Ye Muchen knew what to do.

In the past two days, the Jingzhao Prefecture has intensified its investigations, and the speed and forcefulness of its actions are astonishing.

Furthermore, the government solemnly warned the city's residents to minimize outdoor activities at night to avoid any unforeseen events.

This move left the streets deserted, with hardly a soul in sight.

Jingxue arrived at the residence of Wang Hansheng, the Minister of Personnel. Her purpose today was not to take anything, but she could not openly go shopping, so she went directly to the mansion's storeroom in a seemingly furtive manner.

She was discovered very quickly!

The guards, armed with sticks and lanterns, chased Jingxue all over the Minister's mansion, shouting "Catch the thief!"

When Wang Hansheng heard from his servants that a thief had broken into his mansion, he quickly sent his servants to find the patrol team on the street.

At the same time, he also came out to check the situation under the protection of the servants.

For the past few nights, Ye Musi has been patrolling the city with the patrol battalion, focusing on the northern part of the city.

Upon hearing that a servant from the Ministry of Personnel's residence had reported a thief breaking into their home, he immediately led his men over.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Minister's residence, they saw a man in black jump over the wall and run away along the base of the wall into the distance.

Ye Mousse waved his hand, "Chase them! Capture them alive!"

The soldiers of the patrol battalion immediately quickened their pace and gave chase.

Jingxue had already sensed the arrival of government troops and left the Minister's residence at the right time.

Knowing that the patrol battalion had arrived, and that nothing had been stolen from his residence, Wang Hansheng ordered his guards to return and keep watch over his small plot of land.

Jingxue didn't dawdle, and headed towards the Prime Minister's residence in a seemingly aimless manner.

There were hardly any pedestrians on the street, and Jingxue deliberately kept her distance from the soldiers, which excited them. They chased after her while shouting.

"They're running this way, quick!"

"You bandits ahead, you can't escape now! Surrender immediately!"

The shouts carried far into the night, and some servants in the mansions were already peeking out through the cracks in their doors, not forgetting to report to their masters.

Jingxue turned left and right until she arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's residence, then leaped inside.

Upon seeing the plaque of the Prime Minister's residence, the soldiers dared not rush in and could only stand guard at the entrance for the time being.

Ye Musi and his guards rode on horseback. Because Jing Xue was very aware of counter-tracking and kept appearing and disappearing, the guards stopped Ye Musi from getting too close.

When Ye Musi arrived at the Prime Minister's residence, he said, "Knock on the door, the patrol battalion is investigating!"

The shouts in the street had already alerted the people at the Prime Minister's residence. Zhang Lin, the guard, was leading his men toward the gate when they saw a dark figure fly into the residence from afar.

"who?"

But when they got to the door, they saw nothing, while soldiers were already banging on the door.

Zhang Lin immediately ordered, "Go and report to the Prime Minister that a thief has entered the mansion!" One of the guards immediately ran to find Prime Minister Zou.

At this moment, the gatekeeper had already opened a door and saw Ye Musi standing outside with his hands clasped behind his back. He knew that a high-ranking official had arrived, but he did not recognize Prince Rui.

The lead soldier said, "Thieves have entered your residence. We are here to arrest them. Prince Rui is here!"

The servant dared not delay and quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "This humble servant greets Your Highness, but this humble servant cannot make the decision, please Your Highness, Your Highness..."

He, a mere servant, dared not ask Prince Rui to wait, but if the Prime Minister did not agree to open the door, how could he make the decision?

"I personally witnessed the thief enter your Prime Minister's residence. Get out of the way immediately, lest you delay my arrest, or your Prime Minister will not be able to bear the consequences!"

Zhang Lin ignored the situation at the door and instead led his men to search for the shadowy figure.

Prime Minister Zou was in a courtyard very close to the gate of the mansion. Tonight, he sent out a guard who was skilled in martial arts, and he was waiting for news.

When he heard from his servants that the patrol battalion had come to arrest people, his first reaction was that the people he had sent out had been exposed. They were people whose skills were slightly inferior to Zhang Lin's, so how could they have been discovered so quickly?

However, he had no choice but to go out. He put down his teacup and quickly followed the servant to the door.

They hadn't gone far when they saw Zhang Lin leading his guards, carrying lanterns and searching around, while a group of soldiers had already entered through the gate.

Prime Minister Zou hurried over, and the soldiers scattered to both sides when they saw him come out. Prince Rui, Ye Musi, strode over.

"This humble official greets Prince Rui!" Prime Minister Zou said, bowing.

"Prime Minister Zou, a thief escaped from the Ministry of Personnel's residence. I led my men in pursuit and witnessed the thief enter the Prime Minister's residence," Ye Musi said, stopping in his tracks.

Upon hearing that the person came from the Ministry of Personnel, Prime Minister Zou concluded that it was not someone he had sent out, and he felt reassured.

"This thief is truly audacious! Your Highness, rest assured! This humble official will cooperate fully."

Then he shouted, "Zhang Lin, tell people to quickly light some more torches, and you all cooperate with the soldiers to hurry up and search!"

Zhang Lin replied, "Yes, Your Excellency."

In fact, as soon as Jingxue landed in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's residence, she entered her spatial dimension and began observing the situation outside.

Seeing that the people outside had begun to search carefully, she took advantage of a moment when no one was looking and left the space again.

She was discovered again very quickly.

"There he is! Grab him!" someone shouted.

Everyone gathered around, and Jingxue began playing a cat-and-mouse game with them.

She darted in and out of the crowd like an eel. Because there were so many people, no one dared to use swords easily, for fear of accidentally injuring their own.

Yemus, who was not far away, also noticed the problem and loudly ordered, "The vanguard is in charge of the capture, everyone else, step back one zhang!"

At the same time, Jingxue had already seized a long sword from a soldier beside her and started fighting with him.

Zhang Lin and the others stood guard around Prime Minister Zou. Everyone knew in their hearts that the man in black must be the thief that the government wanted to arrest.

Jingxue knew that she was not far from Prime Minister Zou's study, so she did not linger in the fight. She made a feint, as if she was about to escape again.

The men fighting her thought the same way and were quite excited. Seeing Jingxue fly towards the back courtyard, they immediately gave chase.

As Prime Minister Zou watched the man in black head towards his study, he hurriedly urged Zhang Lin, "Don't worry about me, quickly help the soldiers capture this thief!"

Zhang Lin quickly led his men and followed.

Seeing that Jingxue seemed to have nowhere to escape, the crowd panicked and ran into a courtyard. Several people followed her in, including Zhang Lin.

After entering, Zhang Lin also joined the fight.

Jingxue already knew the location of the secret room in Prime Minister Zou's study. She kicked open the study door and ran inside. The door to the secret room was behind a landscape painting on the wall.

So, after only a few moves, Jingxue seized the opportunity and kicked a soldier away, and the soldier flew right off the painting.
