Chapter 177
The two bereaved dogs were still very resourceful. Even though their mouths were so painful that they couldn't close their mouths and their heads seemed to be throbbing in pain, they still did not go back directly, but walked around the city in a circle.
If they hadn't seen the patrolling guard from a distance, they would probably circle around twice more.
Only after feeling that no one was following him did he go back to Dingyuan Hou Mansion.
However, just as the two of them entered Dingyuanhou's Mansion, there was suddenly a loud knock on the side door of Dingyuanhou's Mansion.
This is Xungui's mansion, and it was midnight. The concierge came to open the door with a curse. When the door opened, he was startled. What was going on outside?
Two teams of neatly armored city guards stood at the door, their weapons glowing dimly in the dark night. It was actually the commander of the city guards who came in person.
The concierge didn't take this fourth-grade military attache seriously. He squinted his eyes and said impatiently: "What are you doing? You dare to knock on it in the middle of the night without even looking at whose mansion it is!"
Jiang Mao, the commander of the patrolling city guards, said coldly: "No one can stop us from apprehending the traitors!"
The porter was startled. He really jumped up and said angrily: "Open your dog eyes and see clearly. This is the side entrance of Dingyuan Hou's Mansion. What kind of murderous traitor is there? What does it have to do with our Hou's Mansion? How brave are you?"
Not small, even the Hou Mansion dares to make trouble?"
Jiang Mao raised his voice and said: "Jiang Mao, the commander of the patrolling city guards, is here to apprehend the murderous traitors. Please cooperate with the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion!"
The concierge was so angry that he jumped on his feet and scolded: "Cooperate with your grandma's legs! Gungun, if you want to take the traitor, you can take it. If you offend the Marquis Mansion, how many heads do you have?"
Jiang Mao pressed his sword and said sternly: "If you continue to obstruct me and the traitor escapes, you are the only one asking!"
The concierge reacted strongly when he saw Jiang Mao's attitude. Even if the other party was only a fourth-grade military attache, it seemed that he, a small concierge, could not stop him. He said angrily: "You guys wait, I will report it!"
Jiang Mao didn't say anything, and the concierge hurried away.
The concierge did not dare to inform the Marquis directly, but instead informed the housekeeper.
When the housekeeper of the Marquis of Dingyuan heard the news, he was surprised and came out wearing his middle coat. The patrolling guards had a very special status in the capital. Their official rank was not high, but they could go anywhere.
Especially if a suspicious person is found, it can be done cheaply.
There is no doubt about the status of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. If it were an ordinary house, Jiang Mao would have led his people to rush in. But now, he can only wait outside.
However, he was not worried. Although there were only two teams here, when he got the news, the entire city patrol came here, and they also asked for the transfer of the Gyeonggi Guard.
The number of city patrol guards is limited, only 300, and they mainly patrol. If they find a situation, they will catch those who can be caught, and those who cannot be caught will be reported to the Gyeonggi Guard.
It is a serious crime to privately collect dead soldiers. If this news is true, they cannot afford to know it but not arrest it. The capital is so big and there are so many portals. How can they arrest them with their small manpower? Then they have to ask the Gyeonggi Guard to send people.
manage.
Just when they arrived, they happened to see two figures entering the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Otherwise, they would not have dared to knock on the door of a high-ranking nobleman so boldly and ask for a search.
In the middle of the night, the curfew is already in place, and anyone running around outside can get it directly.
The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion also had a very bad look on his face. What kind of murderous traitor was there? The patrolling guards were getting more and more helpless.
When he arrived at the side door, he saw that Jiang Mao was still there with others, and he couldn't help but frowned. He walked over, clasped his fists, and said lukewarmly: "Commander Jiang, this is the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. You have been so upset in the middle of the night.
