She spoke in a deep voice, "Go to the Liang Family, find the young General Liang, and once Zhou Yi and the others are imprisoned, have young General Liang go to the Dali Temple prison to find out the whereabouts of the scar-faced man!"
"If it is confirmed that the scar-faced man died at his hands, then punish him with an additional crime!"
"Yes!"
Watching Zhang Cheng head onto the street, and recalling Cheng Chili, who was tracking Lian Rong and his group, Fu Zhen once again turned her gaze towards the crossroads. All she saw were people coming and going as usual, with no sign of Cheng Chili and his group!
At that moment, she felt a chill on her calf, and when she reached out to touch it, she found a patch of blood oozing from her left calf. It reminded her that she had grazed her leg after being knocked down by a horse!
She then sent the guards back to the mansion first, to tend to her wound before heading out again.
The carriage had just left when the two hunters who had been in the noodle shop on the town also exited the city gates.
They stood under the city wall, looking in the direction where the carriage disappeared...
Meanwhile, Lian Rong passed through the teahouse and, after moving away from the city gate, surveyed the terrain before heading straight for Yanzi Square. He then passed through Baiyu Lane and arrived at the small courtyard where Xu Yin used to live.
As he pushed open the door, before he could set foot inside, he heard the sound of maidservants sweeping from the courtyard—
This courtyard had been unused for six or seven years since Xu Yin became Prince Rong’s son-in-law. It seemed that after Xu Yin was captured last time, the Liang Family had taken it back and even sent people to guard it!
"Why is the door open?"
At this juncture, someone came out from the courtyard.
Lian Rong quickly turned his head and sprinted down the alley.
It was broad daylight, and although there were many residential houses on both sides of the alley, making it possible to intrude inside for hiding, doing so would surely cause others to shout in alarm, exposing him instead!
He could only circle around until he completely shook off the people behind him!
But Lian Rong was a scholar; he was not like Xu Yin, who had practiced martial arts while growing up in Prince Yi Manor. He hadn’t learned any martial arts! He was a servant turned by the family out of the house for the crimes of his grandfather! How could he have had the qualifications to learn such skills?!
As a result, after running for half a day, he was already breathless, and although familiar with the layout of the capital city, no amount of familiarity could compare to those noble scions like Cheng Chili and his crew!
If he couldn’t find a place to hide soon, he would certainly be caught by Cheng Chili! He would fail miserably at the last minute and become a prisoner!
"Young Master, Lao Jiu and the others have not responded to our whistles, it seems they are already in grave danger!"
The guard beside him spoke.
"Ignore them! After crossing these two streets, we will reach the Xu Mansion. The Xu Mansion is empty now; we will hide there first!"
After speaking, he pointed forward.
Another guard suddenly turned back and, unable to hide his panic, said, "Young Master, it seems someone is already chasing us from behind!"
Upon hearing this, Lian Rong tilted his ear, and sure enough, the sound of horse hoofs pounded like raindrops from the alley behind, the situation had indeed become urgent!
He turned to look back at the path they had taken, clenching his teeth, and said, "We will split into three groups! One of you follow me, another create a diversion, and the remaining two, keep an eye on Fu Zhen for me!
"She must have entered the city later than us, you two capture her, then escort her to the Xu Mansion to meet me!"
The four guards exchanged a glance and nodded in unison, "As you command!"
In an instant, two guards swiftly climbed over the wall, breaking into the nearby residence! One lifted Lian Rong over another tall wall, while the remaining one continued running down the alley once they had all left...
Fu Zhen sent several batches of people to handle affairs; by the time she entered the city, she had only four guards left by her side.
As the Pei family was an esteemed noble line, their mansion was located near the Imperial City, and it was quite a distance from the city gates to the Pei Mansion.
Fu Zhen, eager to return, wanted to quickly bandage the wound, and then promptly assist Cheng Chili in the pursuit.
Fortunately, there was a shortcut along the way.
The carriage turned a corner into a quiet lane when suddenly, with her keen ears, she heard a gust of wind outside the carriage, at which the guard below urgently warned, "Young Madam, be careful!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than the carriage shook violently at the turn, and Fu Zhen quickly held onto the window, but the carriage still toppled over with even more speed!
"Quick, protect the Young Madam!"
In unison, the four guards drew their swords, with two rushing forward to support Fu Zhen, while the remaining two quickly ran to the back of the carriage!
