Zhou Jin winked at Xie Jin, "These Red Lotus remnants are too cunning! They used drugs on us, not only did we get knocked out, but the guards were also knocked out."

Xie Jin was startled, then he nodded repeatedly, sensing Zhou Jin's hint, "The Red Lotus remnants are indeed cunning, hiding here and there in a very secretive way. We haven't found them for such a long time!"

Zhou Jin saw that Xie Jin understood, and then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Brother-in-law Xie, you stay here to observe the mourning period. Since I am passing by, I naturally have to go to pay my respects to Aunt Xie. Please lead the way, I will go to burn incense for Aunt Xie. Colleagues, you rest here for a while, we will return to Beijing later."

Several colleagues bowed to Xie Jin and said, "We are not feeling well, so we will not disturb Old Madam Xie's peace. Please forgive us."

Xie Jin bowed, "Thank you, my colleagues."

Xie Jin and Zhou Jin came to Old Madam Xie's grave together, and Zhou Jin burned incense.

Xie Jin couldn't help asking, "Brother-in-law, what happened? I clearly saw many people coming here last night. Although it was very secretive, it didn't escape my eyes."

Xie Jin is arrogant, but he actually has the capital to be so.

The Xie family has mastered the spear technique to perfection and has studied hard since childhood.

He was nearby and noticed the actions of the Imperial Guards and Jinlin Guards last night. He would never allow the remnants of the Red Lotus to kidnap the prince so easily.

Zhou Jin felt that there was no problem in telling Xie Jin, because Xie Jin could not be a member of Honglianfang, let alone have any connection with Honglianfang.

In the spirit of one more person means more strength, Zhou Jin lowered his voice and whispered: "The prince was just kidnapped, and now the Jinlin Guards and the Imperial Guards are arresting Honglian Langjun. By the way, that Xuanmingzi is in cahoots with Honglianfang."

Hearing this, Xie Jin was startled, his eyes full of suspicion, "Brother-in-law, you have a good relationship with the prince, and you are also a minister. It is reasonable that the prince is kidnapped, why are you not anxious at all? Could it be that the prince..."

Zhou Jin smiled, "It's enough for Brother-in-law Xie to know. Whoever can catch Honglian Langjun or Xuanmingzi and find the relevant people will surely make great contributions."

Hearing this, Xie Jin was pleasantly surprised. "Thank you, brother-in-law. I just saw someone acting suspiciously and I'm going to chase him right away. I'm sorry I can't entertain you."

How could Xie Jin let go of such a good opportunity to redeem himself from his crime?

Zhou Jin waved his hand, "I wish my brother-in-law Xie great success."

At this time, Xie Jin ran back quickly, found his spear, rode his horse, and chased after him.

By chance, I met Gu Xirong at the entrance of the village.

Xie Jin was shocked. "Madam, why are you here? I have something important to do. Please go to the farm first."

Gu Xirong could guess what happened today. When she was sorting out her memories of her past life, she thought of three places that were most likely the hiding places of Honglianfang.

"My dear, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. Please get on the carriage. I have something important to tell you."

Hearing this, Xie Jin's eyes lit up.

My wife is so smart, she must have guessed his purpose. Now that she comes here, it must be a "dream foreshadowing".

Xie Jin quickly dismounted and got on the carriage where Gu Xirong was. He lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, what do you want to say? If it's not urgent, I still have to chase the people from Honglianfang. Maybe I can make a great contribution."

Gu Xirong leaned over to Xie Jin's ear and said, "If you keep chasing aimlessly like this, by the time you find her, the flowers will be cold. I'll tell you three places, go check them out. Qingyun Temple, Xianglan Residence, and Lotus Cave."

Xie Jin's eyes lit up, "Madam, thank you for reminding me."

Seeing Xie Jin was about to leave, Gu Xirong quickly grabbed Xie Jin and said, "Let's go to Qingyun Temple first. I think that might be Xuanmingzi's base camp. However, it's also very dangerous there. Go investigate first. If you find anything unusual, you can report it to Jinlinwei or the Imperial Guards. Don't act rashly alone."

"Although going deep into the enemy territory alone and capturing the leader of the bandits can be a great achievement, it is also very dangerous. If something happens to you, what is the point of this achievement? In the end, it will benefit others."

Hearing his wife's reminder, Xie Jin nodded, "Don't worry, my lady, go back to the farm and rest first, don't come out. Just now, those Xuan Mingzi and his men took the prince away near the imperial farm."

Gu Xirong chuckled, "The prince might be fake, so my husband doesn't need to worry so much."

After hearing this, Xie Jin got off the carriage without any worries and rode his horse towards Qingyun Temple.

Having received the news, Xie Jin took a shortcut.

Riding a horse is much faster than riding a carriage. Xie Jin did not meet Xuan Mingzi and Bai Lian on the way, or he may have met them but did not recognize them.

Xie Jin patted his horse's butt and his horse ran into the woods.

Just now, from the front of the Taoist temple, there are believers, and quite a lot of them. If Xuan Mingzi and others come back, they can't go through the front door, so they can only go through the back door.

So Xie Jin hid in a big tree not far from the Taoist temple.

Sure enough, half an hour later, a carriage came in from behind.

Xie Jin took a closer look and saw this carriage when he came.

Xie Jin reviewed the route in his mind. When he encountered this carriage, it must have come from the direction of the imperial farm.

Combined with my wife’s “dream prediction”, Xuan Mingzi and Bai Lian should be here.

Xie Jin was not far away and could see that there were quite a few Taoists in the Taoist temple. All of them were very tall and seemed to be good-looking.

Xie Jin thought again that Honglianfang was full of male prostitutes. After Honglianfang was closed down, all these people disappeared.

Where could one suddenly receive these men of unknown origin?

One is a temple and the other is a Taoist temple.

But the monks in the temple are bald and have no hair.

The Red Lotus gentlemen are all handsome, and they would be greatly affected by not having hair, but the Taoists don’t need to cut their hair.

Just by changing your clothes and your hairstyle, you can "return to secular life".

Seeing this, Xie Jin did not delay any further and left carefully, Jin Linwei.

Jin Linwei's actions were not slow this time. After all, he had taken down so many minions in advance, and no one had tipped off Hong Lian Langjun. He also used the "Prince" as bait, and the other party still took the bait.

If they still haven't tracked down Mr. Honglian, there's probably no need for Jinlinwei to exist.

Coincidentally, Xie Jin met an acquaintance, Xu Cheng, the commander of Jinlin Guard.

"Commander Xu, my subordinate Xie Jin has important information." Xie Jin hurried forward and bowed.

Xu Cheng was startled when he saw Xie Jin, "Xie Jin? Why are you here? Aren't you in mourning?"

Xie Jin replied, "Commander Xu, the place where I was in mourning was not far from the imperial farm. I saw a suspicious person in a hurry. Then, it happened that Zhou Shizi and other officials of the Ministry of Agriculture were knocked unconscious by a knockout drug. They splashed water from the stream near my house to wake me up."

"I learned from Prince Zhou that the 'crown prince' was kidnapped. I then remembered the group of suspicious people I saw before, and followed their trail all the way to Qingyun Temple. I discovered that those people had entered Qingyun Temple."

Hearing this, Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Can you see it clearly? Are you sure?"

Xie Jin cupped his hands and said, "I guarantee with my own head that this is the group of people I saw near the imperial farm."

When Commander Xu heard Xie Jin's determination, he immediately came down and said, "Quickly rush to Qingyun Temple and surround it."

Xu Cheng also notified the Imperial Guards and Jinlin Guards in other places to rush to Qingyun Temple together and make sure to capture Xuan Mingzi and those perverted Honglian Langjun!
