The Manager Li followed the signs left behind by Shen Huanzhi and caught up to Shen Huanzhi. However, at the same time, the people who were chasing Shen Huanzhi also appeared.
Shen Huanzhi's escape had been extremely smooth, and he had initially thought that those people were being entangled by Ye Ying, and wouldn't even have the time to chase after him. Now, not only did they seem to have been chased, they had even chased him without making a sound, and had completely succeeded in taking care of Manager Li and the others who had come to rescue him.
They brought a total of twenty people with them from Manager Li, and a few of them were also Zhao Zhang's men. They surrounded Shen Huanzhi, and it was obvious that they were waiting for him as they prepared to fight to the death.
Fortunately, this child was obedient and did not cry. Shen Huanzhi was at ease and thought that he had to protect this child even at death's door. But looking at the people surrounding them, Shen Huanzhi knew in his heart that it would be very difficult to get out of this predicament just by relying on Manager Li to lead these few people.
"Boss, when you have the chance, run. Even if we have to risk our lives, we can still ensure your safety." Manager Li leaned in front of Shen Huanzhi and whispered to him.
Shen Huanzhi thought of many things in his mind, but in the end, he still decided to try his best not to take any risks, "Don't take it lightly, these people are even more complicated than we imagined. Once they start fighting, none of us will be able to escape."
That's right, just by looking at how quietly he blocked them all out, then that was not a skill an ordinary servant could have. Shen Huanzhi felt that this matter was just too troublesome.
Regardless of whether it was the formation or the expression on their faces, they all looked exactly the same as the henchmen in front of the Minister. One of the leader of the group said, "Shen Chenggong, I think you should be clear on what to do. It's not a big deal originally, but the more you run, the more guilty you feel. Since all your men are here, why don't you come with me?"
Shen Huanzhi felt as if everything was not under his control, causing him to feel extremely terrified. He held An's hand tighter, and said: "Since we have chased him to such a point, then I hope that the two of you can come out and chat, if not I would not be able to think of anything with my identity and status that you would be afraid of."
That person smiled, "Shen Chenggong, there are some people that you can't even see. They will obediently cooperate with us. As you have seen, it won't be that easy for you to run away. For the sake of the milk baby in your hands, you have to be safe."
"Oh? There is no one that I cannot meet, go and tell the people in charge, one, since I am in your hands, I will not resist or escape, two, I have a hundred ways to spread the secret of the dead water, it will be hard to kill us, we can't be honest with each other, we can talk, we can talk business, we can discuss everything, third, before I explain everything clearly, not a single one of my people can move, or else, I won't dare to bear the consequences. "
The little leader could not help but furrow his brows. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then let's invite Master Shen to come with us."
Xie Jingxi and Zhao Zhang were almost taken away at the same time, but the two of them basically could not meet. Xie Jingxi was brought to a room and locked up, and she looked at the room and really did not think that it would have this kind of treatment, she thought that it would directly be locked in the Quiet Room.
At this point, she was almost able to piece together the general idea of the story. This must be related to the mysterious forces outside of the city, maybe it was their secret stronghold inside of the city. It was very possible that they had raised soldiers, or even raised the population.
Not long after Xie Jingxi was locked in, someone came in and asked him a question. It was a woman, and her expression was extremely serious, as she came in and directly asked: "What's your name, where did you come from, what's your identity, how did you enter the Quadruple Town?"
Without much hesitation, he replied: "I'm Shen Cui Er, a person from Zhejiang Hang. My family does some small business, and when I passed here, I met a thief, and was saved by Shopkeeper Ye."
"Doing business? "I see that you are raising it like a lady. You don't seem like a businessman, do you?"
Xie Jingxi lowered her head and began to sob, "It's just my husband who dotes on me, I really don't know anything about me, a woman who lives in the backyard. I don't know how I offended all of you, so why did you capture me and bring me back?"
"Since you don't know anything, why are you hiding?"
"It's not that I want to hide, it's just that we heard that we need to collect money before setting foot in the Quadruple Town. We really don't have any money, so what can we do if we don't hide?"
The woman looked at her doubtfully, "Your identity needs to be verified. Stay here for now, someone will take you somewhere else. You can stay here peacefully as long as you are obedient."
She had to check her identity. She was extremely cautious. She just casually made up an identity. How could she resist checking it? Once she found out that she was lying, she probably wouldn't be able to get out. Or rather, once she was found out that she was an irrelevant person, she probably wouldn't be able to get out.
Zhao Zhang said that Gu Yun's people would arrive very soon, he hoped that they would arrive quickly, and once their identities were verified, it would not be long before they found her somewhere secret, so it would be really hard to find his, and furthermore, he did not know if Zhao Zhang had ran out or not.
Zhao Zhang's treatment is not as good as Xie Jingxi's, he was brought to a place specialized for interrogating and imprisoning prisoners. The one who asked the question was still the one who grabbed him, "Since we're already here, if you have anything to say, just quickly answer them.
I won't lie to you. My master does business, didn't he? His wife ran off with someone, and told me to follow her, all of them are men, you say that they are useless and useless, but once we take their money, we can only do things for them, don't you think so?
"Only the Doctor Chang runs away to hide from that bitch?"
You say that bad luck is not bad luck, women are pretty, and they always cause trouble wherever they go, but a doctor is not that good of a person. He came looking for me on the streets today because he wants to scam me for money, but the crux of the problem is that I don't have that much money on me. The doctor looks serious, and the lion says that I just want to go out and collect some silver coins before coming back.
After all, it was not a secret that the Doctor Chang had bumped into him on the street, and they might even notice his every move. He was not too worried about the fact that the Doctor Chang had interrupted his conversation, because at the medicine store, the Doctor Chang had reminded him that he would probably be able to hide the truth from them on the street.
What she said to Xie Jingxi was barely alright, and thus she used the person who asked to go out and explain the various things to them. For the time being, she didn't make things difficult for them, she could only wait for their identities to be verified before deciding.
Only Xie Jingxi was brought out of the house, blindfolded, and brought somewhere else. Based on the direction and the temperature, it seemed like she went downhill, through some dark secret passage, or something like that. Could it be that she was also brought to the same place as the secret room found in the capital? It seems that the secret forces have decided to be this underground rat.
However, what she did not expect was that there would be light where she had finally arrived. Although she was still blindfolded, she still had a sense of sunlight and light. She was sure that she had felt sunlight, and it was very strange that she did not remember walking up the hill.
The cloth in front of her eyes was removed quickly, and she came to a small hut. The entire hut was connected to the courtyard, and a few other people stood inside the hut. It was a woman, and Xie Jingxi did not dare look at her for too long, as she stood timidly at the side.
Someone asked, "Are you new here?"
"Not really. I'm just here to take you out to do some menial work. As for the ready-made women, I want them for my meals. Why don't you come and work instead?"
"What can this tender skin do? Raise your head and let me see."
Following the voice, Xie Jingxi slowly raised her head. Suddenly, she saw a familiar face, and the shock in her heart was simply indescribable. She suspected that she had seen a ghost alive.
This face was extremely special amongst the noble circle wives that she had interacted with, so even after a long time, her memories were still fresh in her mind. It was Ministry Feng, the wife of the Ministry Feng.
Hadn't she been exiled?
Xie Jingxi thought about it again and suddenly thought of something. Lady Li must be a woman that was planted in the backyard of the imperial court by some mysterious force, it was not strange that she would return to her base camp after the death of Ministry Feng.
But the problem was that she had met him here. Just how much inch did he have to go, what kind of identity was waiting to be examined, and it was immediately exposed. Xie Jingxi didn't know how to describe her current mood, but a series of unlucky events had caught her off guard, and she must have knocked her down over this one year.
The Lady Li obviously recognized her, but she did not poke her with her nose as she had expected. She only looked at her for a bit, and then said in a normal tone: "Don't bring anyone that hasn't been verified, a delicate woman is the most useless. She's someone who can burn one's hand just by boiling water, let me train her for a few days first."
Strictly speaking, the Ministry Feng had replaced the crown prince as a scapegoat, a part of Gu Yun's plan. The Lady Li might not have been able to understand it back then, but the Lady Li in front of her was not necessarily confused. Since she was not confused, why did she help her like that?
