Chapter 533 Don't Look Down (One More)
After separating from Xia Zhaoyi, Song Qingtang went directly to Zhibei Yamen.

These days, all over the capital, apart from the Jingzhao Mansion which is open day and night, the Beiyamen and Beifu soldiers are also brightly lit.

It didn't take long for him to go in, and he came out soon, got on his horse and rushed to Jingzhao Mansion.

When he left for about half a stick of incense, seven people came out from the Zhibei Yamen, each on horseback, and headed in different directions.

Some went to Dongping Academy, some went to the official quarters of the Ministry of Industry, and there were several big city gates such as Yongdingmen.

In Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhu Xian was still awake and was writing. Cao Sihu and Liu Changshi were sitting opposite him, while Wei Zong and three or four others were lying on the other side of the room on a large office table made up of six desks, sleeping soundly.

Jiang Silu came in with two small officials, and put dozens of books in his hands on the table.

Zhu Xian looked up.

"The ones you asked for the day before yesterday," Jiang Silu patted them, "The number of casualties and missing persons of the soldiers and horses in the capital, as long as the household registration is in Beijing, I will sort out their family members here. Most of them can still be contacted. Some of them have already been contacted." They went out of the city, and their names were recorded when they left the city, except for 32 of them whose whereabouts have not been found out yet, everything else is correct."

His tone was not respectful, very lazy, Zhu Xian didn't care, and said, "Let it go."

Cao Sihu looked at the booklets, turned to Zhu Xian and said, "My lord, there is not much money left in the treasury. If it is really compensated according to the silver taels mentioned earlier, it may not be enough."

Jiang Silu looked at the other people in the room and found that Song Du and the others were not there. He then looked at Zhu Xian, who was talking to Cao Sihu.

"Where is Song Qingtang?" Jiang Silu asked directly.

Zhu Xian and Cao Sihu looked at him.

"How did you find out about General Song Lang?" Cao Sihu asked.

"Aren't you and Lord Zhu the only ones who are close to him in our entire Jingzhao Mansion?" Jiang Silu replied.

Cao Sihu's surname comes from the Dingtao Cao family, and is Cao Youyun's distant cousin. Although Cao Sihu and Song Qingtang haven't spoken a few words these days, the relationship between the Song and Cao clans has always been there.

Without waiting for Cao Sihu to speak, Jiang Silu said again: "There is also that Ali, why don't you see her?"

"Go back and rest," Zhu Xian said, "It's been hard for you these days."

"Does your lord know where they went?" Jiang Silu asked.

"My lord has been sitting here for a whole day, and I haven't gone out. General Song Lang and Miss A Li have never come in to look for my lord. How could my lord know where they went?" said Liu Changshi, who was silent all the time.

"It's you, why are you asking these questions?" Cao Sihu followed closely, "Since when did your relationship with them get so good?"

When they said these words, there was no displeasure or impatience on their expressions. Seeing that they really didn't know, Jiang Silu turned around and left.

After he left, Liu Changshi said, "For no reason, he asked Song Lang what he would do?"

"He's taking adults less and less seriously." Cao Sihu also said.

Zhu Xian didn't know what to say.

In the past few days, not only Jiang Silu, but also the whole Jingzhao Mansion, he could feel the instability of people's hearts.

"Go and ask, where is Song Lang Jiang?" Zhu Xian looked at Liu Changshi, "Maybe Jiang Silu offended him somewhere and wanted to ask him to apologize, or maybe Song Lang Jiang did something to offend Jiang. Si Lu has a grudge in his heart."

Liu Changshi nodded and got up: "I'll go and have a look."

Jiang Silu left with the two minor officials, and after turning to the next courtyard, Jiang Silu's expression became restless, and his pace quickened, leaving the two minor officials in the courtyard, hurried up the steps, and pushed open the door.

The room was brightly lit, and there were three people sitting there, all in the clothes of petty officials, two of them buried their heads in their work, and one sat by the window drinking tea.

Seeing Jiang Silu's expression, the tea drinker frowned, put down the teacup and said, "What's wrong?"

"From the looks of Zhu Xian and Cao Wenchi, they probably really don't know where Song Qingtang and Na'ali are going."

The other two people in the room were silently writing, and when they couldn't hear them, they didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at Jiang Silu and the tea drinker.

The man who drank the tea looked terrible and didn't speak.

Jiang Silu didn't speak, just waited quietly.

But the more I waited, the more panicked I became.

After all, half an hour ago, he was following this person, wanting to hear what Song Qingtang and the girl would say.

As a result, the girl suddenly gave him a look, which made him run away in fright.

This look makes Jiang Silu uneasy until now, not sure if the other party has noticed him.

But whether he found it or not, Jiang Silu was in a panic.

Back then when Zhu Xian stopped Yujia and scolded the emperor in the street, when Jiang Silu heard these words, he was about to lose his nerve, fearing that his little Silu would be implicated.

Later, people from Tianrongwei came to test him, and when he found out, he immediately took refuge, thinking that he had a backer. As a result, the girl who had disappeared for many days came back.

Based on what Zhu Xian did at the beginning, Jiang Silu was sure that this girl would definitely protect Zhu Xian. If something happened to Zhu Xian now, and the girl found out that the incident was related to him, Jiang Silu wondered if the girl would kill him. To avenge Zhu Xian by himself...

Thinking of this, his cold sweat broke out.

Tianrongwei, court officials are not afraid of anyone.

But this girl is scarier than Tianrongwei, she is the one who put Xie Sijie down right away, with so many Tianrongwei present, who can resist her?
Jiang Silu was really uncomfortable, he just wanted to live a good life, and to live on, why is it so difficult.

After a while of silence, the person drinking tea said, "Zhu Xian is still sitting there?"

"En." Jiang Silu responded with difficulty.

"What about the rest?"

"Everyone is here, except for Lin Juyi and Fan Jietui, everyone else is here."

The man drinking tea nodded and said, "Go and do your work."

Jiang Silu was taken aback: "Well, don't you care about them?"

"Who cares?"

"Song Qingtang and Ding Guogong's illegitimate daughter...won't you go find Vice General Bao?"

"Vice General Bao has something important to do, he will come."

Jiang Silu didn't know what to say, but he still felt uneasy after thinking about it, and said, "I'd better go and have a look, it's too quiet outside."

Song Qingtang dismounted at the back door of Jingzhao Mansion.

As usual, he calmly handed the reins to the gate guard.

As soon as Jiang Silu left the courtyard, he saw Song Qingtang.

Jiang Silu immediately dodged to the back and hid in the darkness.

It was indeed Song Qingtang. Judging by his appearance, he just came back from the outside, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

The other party quickly disappeared from his sight, and Jiang Silu waited for a while, but did not see the girl.

The girl had also left last night, and came back today, so, could it be that he thought too much, that the girl actually went to rest?
At this moment, there was movement from the front office, it was very noisy.

Jiang Silu turned his eyes to look, the commotion was getting louder and brighter, and the bright fire was shining, and the first to enter was Deputy General Zhu of Yanyun Wei Mansion, Zhu Mao.

Liu Jianjun followed him, and behind him were four guards, and several generals who had worked very hard to defend the city during this period, including Du Yide and Zeng Youkang, Zhu Mao's nephew Zhu Ziyan and so on.
