Chapter 821 The flower-picking thief who kidnapped the young girl
It's dawn the next day.
Di Xin still shrank to the ground and took Song Qianwei out of the house.
After a night of fermentation, the capital became more solemn because of yesterday's events. More soldiers patrolled the streets than usual, stopping passers-by from time to time and taking out the portraits in their hands to compare.
Most of the people these soldiers stopped were two people walking together, a man and a woman.
Song Qianwei's expression changed and she couldn't help but get closer to Di Xin.
After what happened yesterday, although she didn't notice it, she subconsciously placed her sense of security on Di Xin.
Di Xin gently patted Song Qianwei's unconsciously clenched fist from an angle where no one could see it, signaling her not to be nervous.
When the soldier took out the portrait, he could see clearly from the corner of his eye that the portrait above was of him and Song Qianwei.
However, during the cross-examination by the soldiers, Song Qianwei was the woman who was kidnapped by the gangsters.
There is no need to doubt, this must be the statement given by Mingyue Lou to clear himself up. When Di Xin was escaping yesterday, he saw a group of patrol guards entering the restaurant with his own eyes.
Listening to the soldiers questioning the couple not far away, Song Qianwei couldn't help but let out a chuckle after relaxing.
A black line flashed across Di Xin's forehead.
But now is not the time to settle accounts. After glaring at Song Qianwei, Emperor Xin made no other move.
Other than that, he wasn't nervous at all.
First of all, his image in the portrait should have been drawn through the description of the waiter at Mingyue Tower. Not to mention that the freehand brush painting method is somewhat distorted, and even that image was disguised by Di Xin.
Otherwise, who would dare to arrest His Royal Highness Prince Yu in the street brazenly and describe him as a flower-picking thief who kidnapped a young woman?
"Pfft..."
Song Qianwei couldn't help laughing again.
Resisting the urge to beat her up, Di Xin kept reciting the word "resist" silently in his heart, and led Song Qianwei past the group of soldiers who were questioning passers-by in a grand manner.
Sure enough, the soldiers didn't even look at them.
They were looking for a man and a woman, and the woman was the one who was kidnapped. But the distance between Di Xin and Song Qianwei made it clear that there was no coercion.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important reason is that both Di Xin and Song Qianwei were wearing men's clothing. Before going out, Di Xin not only changed her disguise again, but also modified Song Qianwei's appearance to make her look more like a man.
Last night, Di Xin even taught Song Qianwei the method of hiding his realm.
Therefore, in the eyes of the soldiers, they were just two ordinary men without any cultivation.
Even if a martial artist observes carefully, they can also find that their steps are light and their energy and blood are somewhat insufficient, very much like the state of their bodies that have been seriously hollowed out due to something.
How could two ordinary men who had been drained by alcohol, sex and wealth arouse others' suspicion?
But the price is that Di Xin was chased and beaten by Song Qianwei again before going out.
…
The flower-picking thief and the young woman he kidnapped were on the street, swaggering past the soldiers who were looking for them.
Today is the last day. If he cannot leave the capital today, Di Xin may not be able to make it in time for the expedition.
Although he had made some preparations just in case, if possible, it would be safer to rush back in person.
The two of them did not go directly to the city gate.
Yesterday, he did not take out the money in the bookcase from the restaurant due to time constraints, but the disguised money bag never left Di Xin's body, so he still had some money.
When passing by a pastry stall, Di Xin bought some pastries and packed them; when passing by a silk and satin shop, he bought a few more bolts of silk and satin; and even when passing by a calligraphy and painting shop, he bought two paintings and calligraphy, which he also packed.
stand up.
I gave the calligraphy and painting shop owner a piece of silver and asked him to help rent a carriage.
After putting all the things into the carriage, Di Xin and Song Qianwei also got on the carriage.
The coachman gently pulled the reins, and the carriage took the two of them towards the city gate, carrying large and small packages of gifts, as if they were leaving the city to visit relatives.
Although there are more soldiers patrolling the streets, as the capital of Dali, it is impossible for the capital to be completely under martial law and not allow anyone to enter or exit because of what happened yesterday.
The price of closing the gates of the capital for one day is too great. Compared with it, the flower-picking robbers that happened yesterday are simply not worth mentioning.
This was one of the reasons why Di Xin refrained from taking action against the pursuing guards yesterday.
If a second-level strongman attacks someone from the imperial court, the whole matter will rise to a very serious level in an instant. Unless Emperor Xin is found, the capital will be under complete martial law within at least three days.
Under the control of the groom, the carriage quickly arrived at the city gate.
In order to prevent Mingyue Tower from fabricating any groundless information, Di Xin did not choose to go to the north gate of Yanque Pass, but took the east gate.
As you can see, although there is no complete martial law, the inspections at the city gate are much stricter than usual.
Di Xin was not the only one who "committed crimes." Therefore, although the searching soldiers never caught the "flower-picking robber" yesterday, they were not without success.
When approaching the east gate, Di Xin saw a skinny man who suddenly turned around and ran away while the soldiers were lining up to search at the city gate.
The abnormality of the thin man naturally attracted the soldier's attention.
Only a few words such as "stop" and "don't run" were heard. The thin man was quickly pushed to the ground by the soldiers who were chasing him, and was quickly taken away again.
Seeing this, Di Xin didn't feel any guilt.
If you don't do anything bad, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Anyone who behaves abnormally under the search of soldiers must have a ghost in his heart.
None of those arrested were innocent.
Song Qianwei also saw this scene through the side curtain that Di Xin opened.
She lowered her voice and said with some humor: "I didn't expect that the flower-picking thief kidnapped a good girl and accidentally helped the government catch many criminals. Your Highness, you are really meritorious!"
Di Xin:......
Why does this sound so awkward?
He made a gesture of reaching out to knock, and Song Qianwei instinctively shrank.
Di Xin rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "We are almost here, be careful of revealing your secret."
While he was talking, the carriage had stopped.
"Stop, who is in the carriage?"
"For the record, my lord, I am a groom from the Juhui Coach Shop, and there are my guests in the carriage."
"What are you doing out of town?"
"Going out of town to visit relatives."
…
After a conversation, someone knocked twice on the carriage from outside, and then a voice came in.
"People inside come out for routine inspection."
Di Xin signaled Song Qianwei not to move, and reached out to lift the car curtain.
