Jiang Banxue was frowning and thinking, and the corner of her eye just caught a glimpse of Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi who were "unconscious" lying in the firewood room. She quickly stood up, ran over and shouted, "princess, madam!"
Hearing her startled voice, Xiao Min and AO Qing were shocked at the same time. Didn''t the princess and lady be robbed? They followed Jiang Banxue and rushed into the firewood house. After coming in, the three people looked at each other and took a breath.
Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi fell together, their eyes closed, they didn''t move, and they didn''t know whether to live or die.
Jiang Banxue took the lead in squatting down, first explored Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi''s breath, and then touched their pulse gate. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up and said to Xiao Min and AO Qing, who were pale: "don''t worry, the princess and Mrs. are just in a coma and in danger of their lives!"
Xiao Min and AO Qing were surprised and happy, holding Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi respectively. As Jiang Banxue said, they were just in a coma, their breath was symmetrical, their pulse was stable, and there was no sign of serious injury.
"Princess! Princess, wake up, princess, wake up!" Xiao Min held Yin Rou and called again and again.
Yan Rou, who had fainted, frowned slightly. After a moment, she woke up quietly, raised her hand, subconsciously rubbed her painful forehead, groaned, then opened her eyes and saw that she was lying in Xiao Min''s arms. She asked in confusion, "Xiao Min? I... what''s the matter with me?"
Seeing Yin Rou wake up, Xiao Min was sad and happy. She couldn''t help crying and laughing, and said repeatedly, "if the princess is okay, if it''s okay!"
She also wanted to know what happened to the princess and Mrs. de Rong in the backyard, but seeing Yan Rou''s face at a loss, she couldn''t continue to ask. In short, the princess was lucky to be free.
Yuan Qianyi as like as two peas, and soon came to "wake up" and look exactly like Yin''s face. She was also confused and confused, with her eyes looking at the place and looking at it everywhere.
Through the gap between Xiao Min and others, she suddenly saw the body outside the firewood room. She was shocked to fight a cold war, subconsciously screamed, and her face turned pale for a moment. She exclaimed, "chun''er..." as she spoke, she struggled to stand up and staggered to run out.
Ao Qing hurriedly grabbed her and said in a low voice with a gloomy look: "madam, miss Chuner, they... I hope madam will mourn!"
Yuan Qianyi has a close relationship with four maidens in spring, summer, autumn and winter. People in the palace know that on weekdays, five masters and servants are inseparable and close. Now all four women have died miserably. Aoqing is really afraid that Yuan Qianyi will be overwhelmed.
Sure enough, when Ao Qing told her to mourn, Yuan Qianyi stayed there, shaking his body as if he had been drained of his strength, and then limped down.
"Madam -" Aoqing hurriedly helped her.
Yuan Qianyi turned her head to look at Aoqing and didn''t speak, but her big eyes, like broken pearls, flowed down. I''m afraid anyone who sees her, will feel distressed in her heart.
She didn''t completely pretend. After all, the four women in spring, summer, autumn and winter have been around her for too long. It''s impossible to say that she has no feelings. Just at this moment, she has no choice but to get rid of them to save herself.
In fact, it''s easy for yuan Qianyi to kill them in the palace. It doesn''t have to be so troublesome. But one thing, if four palace maids die in the palace, and she is still the closest relative of Mrs. de Rong, it will disturb many people, and even Tang Yin. If the matter goes on, it will inevitably involve her, Even the fact that she is a masterpiece of Shenchi is very likely to be found out at the same time.
Yuan Qianyi couldn''t and didn''t dare to take this risk, so he took the kidnapping of Yin Rou as an excuse to deceive the four women out of the palace, creating the illusion that they were assassinated and killed. In this way, no one will doubt her again, and people will only regard her and Yin Rou as victims.
Her plan can''t be said to be seamless, but in her opinion, it is at least the most effective. Of course, the emergence of those local ruffians and evil men is purely an accident. It is precisely because of their appearance that she has a good chance to start with four women.
At this time, Yuan Qianyi wept silently, and Yan Rou cried with her. Xiao Min, Aoqing and Jiang Banxue were nearby. They didn''t know how to persuade each other, looked at each other and were helpless.
I don''t know how long later, the market outside the teahouse was suddenly in chaos, and countless wind troops flocked to surround the huge teahouse.
The people nearby didn''t understand what had happened. People gathered around and looked at the soldiers one by one.
Soon, people saw the soldiers who rushed into the teahouse withdraw and brought out several women. Because they were protected by many soldiers, they couldn''t see their specific appearance.
After leaving the teahouse, several women directly got into the carriage, escorted by a large number of soldiers and left quickly.
After a short time, some soldiers came out of the teahouse and carried out several corpses wrapped in white cloth. They couldn''t see the appearance of the corpse clearly. All the white cloth sheets were dyed red.
Next, the retreating soldiers marched out a group of people, including the shopkeeper of the teahouse and a bunch of local ruffians used to bullying in the local area. The leading man was tied up in all colors. Looking at his face, he had a black and blue face and a messy beard. Although he was escorted by the army, his mouth was not idle. He shouted: "misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding. I''m from the Lieutenant''s house. If you catch me, you''ll be against the Lieutenant''s house!"
No one answered, and no one even looked at him more. The soldiers around him, with gloomy faces, dragged him outside the teahouse like a dead dog.
The people who watched the excitement talked about what had happened, while many vendors in the market were secretly clapping their hands.
Wan Ge, the leading villain, was a famous local bully. Because he had learned Lingwu in his childhood and learned it well, he opened a martial arts school here to recruit apprentices, make friends and make friends. Over time, Wan GE''s contacts became wider and wider, and gradually had a large group of followers under his hands.
Because he has a wide range of friends and is a local local snake, he knows everything about the place like the back of his hand. After the Fengguo moved its capital to Zhenjiang, the Lieutenant''s house naturally took a fancy to him. Although he was not recruited into the Lieutenant''s house as a job, he was also included in the informant of the Lieutenant''s house.
Since they had the support of the Lieutenant''s residence, they have relied on them and have greater courage. They are unscrupulous in local bullying, taking and plundering. This market is their main activity place on weekdays.
In the market, no matter small traders or large merchants, if they want to sell things here, they must pay protection fees to them. If someone dares not to obey, the light ones will be injured by them, and the heavy ones will be maimed or even killed.
Because of the protection of the Lieutenant''s house, the official''s house did not dare to provoke them easily. Once something happened, it would be okay to turn a blind eye. This further encouraged Wange''s arrogance. He bullied men and women in the local area and did all kinds of evil. He simply became a local emperor.
The traders in the market have hated him to the bone, but they have nothing to do with him. Now they see that he has been captured by the government and army, how can they be unhappy?
The soldiers here are not ordinary officers and soldiers, but palace guards. The palace guards, no matter who you are, dare to assassinate the princess and lady and kill four palace maids. How can you spare them?
Tang Yin knew that Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi disguised themselves and secretly went out of the palace to play. The bodyguards below had reported to him. He didn''t immediately send someone to chase them. In fact, he could understand the mood of Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi. They stayed in the palace all day, isolated from the world, lonely and boring. Since he wanted to go out to play today, he wouldn''t stop them, They just arranged for the bodyguard to take them back to the palace after two hours.
As a result, such changes took place in these two hours, which Tang Yin never expected.
When Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi returned to the palace, Tang Yin had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time. When he saw that they were only hurt on their forehead and there was no serious harm, his heart finally fell down.
He took Yin Rou in one hand and Yuan Qianyi in the other, and asked with concern, "how''s the injury? Is it still painful?"
With a cry, Yin Rou rushed into Tang Yin''s arms and began to cry. Yuan Qianyi was much stronger than her, her eyes were red, and she just cried silently. Of course, this was also in line with her consistent independent character.
Tang Yin gently helped Yin Rou''s back and knew she was frightened. She said softly, "it''s okay, don''t be afraid, it''s okay." As he spoke, he looked at Yuan Qianyi and said, "I will find out the murderer and give them justice."
He had a good impression of the four maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter. He felt that several girls were very clever. It was a pity that they were killed so innocently. He had to find out the matter whether in public or private.
He whispered to appease Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi for a while. Tang Yin winked at Xiao Min and AO Qing and motioned them to send them back to the bedroom to have a rest.
Jiang Banxue was going to follow them. Tang Yin stopped her and watched the shadow of Yin Rou and Yuan Qianyi disappear. The expression on his face was immediately replaced by haze. He asked, "what''s the matter? Why were rou''er and qian''yi attacked, and how were chun''er killed? Who was the murderer?"
Jiang Banxue pondered for a long time, slowly shook his head and said, "it''s... Strange!"
"What do you mean?" Tang Yin looked at her puzzled.
Jiang Banxue told Tang Yin the whole story. Finally, She said: "On the surface, the thief who attacked the princess and his wife should be with those local ruffians. However, I carefully examined the wounds of the body. It is obvious that the murderer is a first-class expert and should not be associated with local ruffians and scoundrels. Moreover, if the thief''s target is the princess and his wife, why did he only kill the maid and shop assistant without hurting the lives of the princess and his wife? I really don''t think about it What is the purpose of the thief doing this! "
Tang Yin listened carefully. When Jiang Banxue finished, he rubbed his chin and asked, "can it be the thief who killed chun''er and Qian Yi before you can lay hands on rou''er and Qian Yi?"
Jiang Banxue nodded and replied, "yes, your majesty, it''s also possible. Just, the thief is so powerful. Will he really be scared away by our only three women? Will he be so timid to attack the princess and lady?"
