Su Nan spread the simple map he drew on the table, and Qiu Ju quickly turned on the wick.

"The street restaurants and inns have been checked." Jiang Shuyue drew a mark on the map.

Sunan moved his finger on the map, "It's impossible for the imperial palace."

"The private residence is being investigated. Jing Zhaoyin and Jin Yiwei have a large number of people. It is estimated that the investigation will be completed in another half an hour."

The charcoal pen in Jiang Shuyue's hand moved to the blank space, "In the early years, these places were large open spaces with many trees, and they were also places where you could hide. I have been away from the capital for many years. I wonder if they have changed since then?"

Seeing the young lady's eyebrows twisted into the Chinese character "Chuan", Qiu Ju said, "The officials are more familiar with the terrain of the capital than we are, and they will definitely not miss a single corner."

The map drawn by Su Nan was too simple. The temples and Ciyin Hall in the capital were not marked, but Jiang Shuyue marked the rest.

The three of them were concentrating on sorting out the map, when suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps.

"Sister Jiang!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Jiang Shuyue suddenly raised her head, "Sister Yutong, why are you here?"

"Sui Sui he..." Du Yutong's voice was choked, and his eyes were filled with mist.

The concierge had just told her everything that had happened, and Du Yutong felt heartbroken at the thought of the little cutie being taken away.

Jiang Shuyue put down her charcoal and walked up to her, holding their hands tightly.

"My sister is worried. I'm drawing a picture here to investigate, and the emperor's people are also looking for him. When Changle and Suisui left the mansion, the city gate was closed, and they must still be in the city."

"Well, don't worry, Sister Jiang. All civil and military officials have received the news. It was Song Yunzhi who caused the chaos. My father has already taken people out, and now the whole city is wanted to arrest them."

As soon as Du Yutong finished speaking, her maid also arrived.

"Miss, you ran so fast, I almost couldn't catch up with you." The maid panted and stepped forward to salute Jiang Shuyue.

Jiang Shuyue was so moved that she ran from Du Mansion to Jiang Mansion, which showed how worried Du Yutong was about Sui Sui.

Jiang Shuyue pulled Du Yutong to sit down at the table, and she said sadly: "Is there already an uproar outside?"

Of course Du Yutong knew what Jiang Shuyue was referring to. She shook her head: "No, outsiders only think that Princess Changle and the maids were kidnapped by Song Yunzhi. No one knows how many people were kidnapped."

Qiu Ju poured a cup of tea and handed it to Du Yutong, saying gratefully: "Miss Du is so thoughtful that she can guess that Princess Changle and Sui Sui are together."

Du Yutong took the tea and took a sip and looked at her personal maid, "It was Zhu'er's words that reminded me. She said that Song Yunzhi was so bold that she dared to enter the palace and kidnap people. That's when I remembered that Chang Le might have left the palace and come to Jiang Mansion."

Everyone tacitly understood some things, and Du Yutong was not someone who wanted to get to the bottom of things.

Su Nan pushed the map in front of Du Yutong and said expectantly: "Sister Du, please help me see what hiding places are missing on this map."

Everyone's emotions were tense, and the politeness of the past was gone.

Du Yutong took the map and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he pointed to a blank space and said, "This is Lianwu Lake. Although you can't hide, you should mark it clearly."

"Yes, there is also Lianwu Lake." Jiang Shuyue's eyes lit up.

The scene of Lianwu Lake quickly appeared in her mind.

That was when the original owner's mother was still alive. One Mid-Autumn Festival night, in order to win the favor of the Yang family, the cheap father spent a lot of money to rent a boat for a trip to the lake. The original owner, mother and daughter also went there.

The orioles are singing and dancing on the boat, which is very lively. The boat is walking slowly on the lake. When the night is dark, a thin mist will rise on the lake, and the smoke will be lingering, just like a fairyland in Yao Chi.

Groups of people set off lanterns by the lake. Viewed from the boat, the gleaming lights on the lake were like bright stars in the vast night sky, which was extremely spectacular.

Suddenly, Jiang Shuyue stood up and said with great excitement: "Yes, I can hide people!"

Sunan and Qiu Ju looked at Jiang Shuyue who was suddenly emotional in confusion.

Du Yutong and Qiu Ju looked at each other, then looked at Jiang Shuyue, "Sister Jiang, do you mean that Lianwu Lake can hide people?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Yes, the emperor sent so many people out without any news. It must be Song Yunzhi and his people hiding on the lake."

Du Yutong shook his head, "Impossible. The lake is full of people setting off lanterns. The boats on the lake are all noble families taking their families to enjoy the moon on the lake. Where can she hide?"

Qiu Ju only said that the young lady was so angry and confused, "Miss, although the Lianwu Lake is big, there is no island or anything in the middle, so there is really no place to hide."

Sunan didn't know how big Lianwu Lake was, but he knew that Sister A was a smart and keen person.

He was silent for a moment and said: "The official can't be found, which shows that the other party is extremely cunning. It is said in the book that Da Yin is hiding in the city. Song Yunzhi is a native of the capital. Maybe she is really hiding in a crowded place."

Jiang Shuyue added: "Lianwu Lake got its name for a reason. You believe my guess is correct."

"Yes, there will be fog on the lake at night, and the clouds look like lotus flowers in Yaochi from a distance." Du Yutong added excitedly.

"Zhu'er, take your young lady back, Qiu Ju, you and Su Nan go to Jing Zhaoyin to send a message to the emperor, telling others that they may be hiding in Lianwu Lake." Jiang Shuyue said and ran quickly out the door.

"Miss!"

"Sister!"

"Sister Jiang!"

The three of them exclaimed at the same time.

Su Nan could not rest assured that Sister A would go alone. He said to Qiu Ju and Du Yutong: "Please ask Sister Du to accompany Sister Qiu Ju to deliver a message to the emperor. I will go after Sister."

There were no horses in the stables in the mansion. Jiang Shuyue knew there was a shortcut to the wax apple lake, which was an alley.

When Su Nan chased out of the gate, he didn't see his sister on either side.

He asked the doorman, and the doorman pointed to the street on the right.

The street was no longer as noisy as before, and only a few vendors carrying baskets were walking back.

Su Nan gritted his teeth, plunged into the night, and ran quickly to the street on the right.

When Lin Miaoshou and Su Jin returned to the mansion, only the doorman was left in the mansion.

In the hall, Su Jin saw the map on the table and the charcoal pencil that his sister never threw away casually.

He was overjoyed, "Uncle Lin, my sister must have found a clue. Look at this map. There are several new place names on it."

Lin Miaoshou is a man who has experienced many ups and downs. He has already ordered the disciples of Huanhua Street to go out and inquire about the news.

He glanced at the table, "The three words 'Lanwu Lake' were written by Yue girl. You wait in the mansion. I'll go to the edge of the lake to take a look."

Jiang Shuyue was in a hurry, so the three words were written in a particularly sloppy and eye-catching manner.

On the way to Jiang's mansion, Lin Miaoshou learned that the suspect was Song Yunzhi. She concluded that Sui Sui and Princess Changle were safe for the time being.

Song Yunzhi's purpose was not to kill, but to have other intentions. Lin Miaoshou had a guess in her mind.

...

In the government office, Xiao Jingzhao had a city defense map in front of him.

After a while, someone came in to report.

"Report! Your Majesty, all the restaurants and inns have been searched, and there are no suspicious people."

"Report! Your Majesty, the streets and alleys have been checked, and no suspicious people are seen."

"Report! Your Majesty, there are no suspicious people in the houses, temples and Ciyin Hall."

As the voice of the report sounded, Xiao Jingzhao's face became visibly gloomy.

Xiang Song bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Gao Mu said that the young lady asked someone to check the clinic. Wait a little longer. The young master is good at making poisons. Maybe there will be good news."

At this time, a sound of breaking through the air was heard.

"Bang!"

An arrow hit the door of Jingzhao Yin squarely.
