Master Lotus's judgment was correct, and so was Xiao An's. The sky had just darkened when a carriage came out of the back door of the Prince's Mansion.
There was an awning on the carriage, and it was not clear what was inside. There were two horses behind the carriage. The carriage turned left and right along the alley, and finally came to the east gate. The driver of the carriage whispered a few words to the soldiers guarding the door, flashed his badge, and then went out.
About ten miles out of the city, there is a mass grave beside the road.
After the carriage stopped, the two people on the horse also jumped off. The three of them gathered around the carriage for a long time, and then pulled out a sack.
Then he took out the shovel from the car, walked a few steps to the roadside, dug with a clanging sound, dug out a hole, and then threw the sack into it. Then he covered it with soil for a few times, then called it a day and returned.
The three of them drove away, one on horseback, and the other on horseback.
In the darkness, the leader of Lotus was just about to call for people to catch up and arrest the three people. Suddenly he turned his eyes and saw a figure flashing not far away, and then there was actually someone carrying tools and running towards the mass grave.
These people dug out the sacks they had just buried, then loaded them into the carriage and sped away.
The Lotus Leader smiled slightly, this was really interesting.
She immediately ordered her apprentice Li Moli to lead some people to keep an eye on the group of people digging graves behind them, and look for opportunities to catch them.
She herself led people to catch up with the carriage in front.
The carriage in front was not moving very fast, and the two people on horseback did not seem to be in a hurry. They followed the carriage slowly, talking quietly as they walked.
Suddenly one of them seemed to notice something strange and turned his head to look behind him for a long time.
"Brother, why do I always feel like someone is following him behind me?"
The other one smiled and said, "You have a guilty conscience. How can anyone follow you? Besides, the people in the Prince's Mansion are still afraid of this."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them heard the sound of clothes flickering in their ears.
Before they could regain their senses, they were hit hard on the neck, and the two of them immediately passed out.
The driver of the carriage was in front, and he also noticed that something was wrong. Why was there suddenly no movement behind him? As soon as he turned around, he heard two thuds. What had been thrown into the wupeng?
He quickly stopped the carriage and opened the curtain to see clearly. At this moment, he also received a heavy blow and passed out.
It's better now, it will save you trouble if you just dive in.
The Lotus Master got on the carriage, turned around slowly, and came back to meet Jasmine and the others.
At this time, Jasmine had already led people to arrest the people who had just dug the grave, and they were interrogating them.
It was okay not to ask, but Jasmine was also frightened when she asked.
Seeing the Master of Lotus coming back, she hurried forward and said, "Master, we have caused a big trouble. Those people are from the palace!"
The leader of Lotus Hua snorted coldly, "So what if you are in the palace? I am looking for someone in the palace."
"Tie them all up, we have to get out of here as soon as possible."
The Lotus Master led his disciples to escort the captives, and walked forward for about five miles. There were several abandoned houses nearby. There used to be an inn here, but it was later abandoned.
The leader of Lotus Hua pointed at it, and Jasmine understood it and immediately led people forward to start cleaning up.
Although this inn has been abandoned for a long time, there are often homeless and beggars living here, so although it is dilapidated, it is not difficult to take care of. A simple cleaning and a temporary rest are not a problem.
After lighting the fire and resting for a while, the Lotus Master waved his hand, and his men carried the three people in the carriage.
After waking up one of them, the Lotus Master put his sword on his neck without saying a word.
"Who are you burying?"
The man responded tremblingly, "I don't know whether His Highness the Crown Prince ordered us to come. He just said that we could just dig a hole and bury it."
The Lotus Master increased his strength in his hand, and the sword edge pressed so hard on the man's neck that blood began to ooze. "If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you!"
"What I said is true, hero. I really don't know who he is. I don't know who he is!"
After asking twice, the man still said he didn't know. Lord Lotus believed him.
He waved the man away and replaced him with another.
Three people asked one by one, but they didn't know who it was.
Then the next step is to interrogate the gravediggers in the palace.
These people were equally confused about the identity of the deceased.
"I don't know about this, but we were ordered to secretly watch the Prince's Mansion, dig out what they buried, and then send it to Zhangjiazhuang in Xishan."
"Then do you have any eunuchs in the palace? Your hometown is Zhangjiazhuang?"
The man shook his head, "Very few people talk about what happened before entering the palace, and even if some people do, it's a lie."
The Lotus Leader nodded. This was quite normal, just like many of their disciples also used false names outside.
Since they don't know their true identity, they can only ask in a different way, "Then let me ask you which eunuch in your palace has disappeared in the past few days."
"Yes, Xiao Dezi suddenly disappeared."
The Lotus Master nodded and patted the man on the shoulder, "Okay, you are a real person, don't worry, I won't do anything to you, I just have to ask you to stay somewhere for a while."
After speaking, the Lotus Leader raised his hand again to knock the man unconscious, then called to Jasmine and others, and drove the carriage forward.
Thirty miles further on, there is a small hill called Niutou Ridge. There is a cave on Niutou Ridge, which they had clearly inspected before.
There is no village within a ten-mile radius of Niutouling. It can be said that there is no village in front of it or a store in the back. Therefore, it is usually inaccessible. If you hide people there, no one will notice it for a while.
Having said that, it doesn't matter if someone finds out, he has already finished the work during this period.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the Lotus Cult Master returned to Wannian City and went directly to see Princess Gong Zhaoning.
It's already past the second watch.
Princess Zhaoning is reading in the study.
But it was obvious that she was not a book reader. As soon as I read a few lines of words, I slapped my desk. After a while there was another sigh.
Just then I suddenly heard someone knocking lightly on the window lattice.
Upon hearing the noise, Princess Zhaoning reacted quickly and immediately stepped aside, hiding behind the screen, and then asked aloud, "Who is it?"
"Yes, you are very vigilant!" The Lotus Leader couldn't help but praise.
After hearing this, Princess Zhaoning was surprised and happy.
"Master, it's you, the old man is here. Come in quickly."
As he spoke, he came forward and opened the window.
The Lotus Master came in through the window. He sat down on the chair.
Princess Zhaoning stepped forward and bowed, "My disciple Jingfeng has met Master."
The Lotus Leader nodded, "Princess, I have something to ask you for help this time."
"Master, please give me your instructions, as long as my disciple can do it."
