Chapter 461 (1/2)
She opened the wardrobe. Sure enough, it was the same as the wardrobe in Zhou'an's room. There were only a few sets of winter clothes left in disorder. Summer clothes and autumn clothes were taken away completely.
”Do you want to report to the official?” Haizi asked.
Qi Rongyue shook his head and said, ”no, they left by themselves. They didn't have to report to the official.”
If they were taken away, how could they have the chance to take away their clothes? Obviously, something unexpected happened. They had to leave, but they could not disturb anyone. So they secretly packed simple luggage and left Rongyu hall.
Qi Rongyue didn't say much, only let Haizi and them open their shop and do business as usual. She took Xueer out of the Rongyu hall and went to Lord Zheng's house.
Zheng received a secret letter from Kyoto two days ago, asking him to do everything he could to help Qi Rongyue. Although Zheng was not sure where he was, he could not help Zheng houye.
Soon, Qi Rongyue got a list of the merchants in the city who went to and from Zhou Dynasty through Lord Zheng. Some of them were suspicious. They had left the city three days ago, rented the coach of Fusheng Inn and went to Wuyuan.
Qi Rongyue rushed to Wuyuan with two guards at once. Wuyuan is not far from Pengcheng. It's only a half day's drive. When he arrived at Wuyuan, it was late at night. It was the same time as last time, but the situation was quite different.
This time, they didn't have to huddle in their carriages to keep each other warm and survive the hard night.
There are inns in the city that don't close at night. They randomly choose one to stay in. They just wait for dawn to find the magistrate of Wuyuan with Lord Zheng's letter.
”Miss, did Mr. Zhou really come to Wuyuan?” Xueer looks worried.
Qi Rongyue shakes his head: ”I'm not sure, I hope I guess right, otherwise, I don't know where to find his trace.”
