Two days after the Criminal Department was raided by thieves, a piece of news suddenly came from Dali Temple.
Kang Rongqi and Min Wudu, who were imprisoned, actually believed themselves to be the masterminds of the silver theft case. They told the story of how they planned to cause a mudslide to block the bank deposit team of the Household Department and how to mobilize the tiger to leave the mountain and take the opportunity to transfer the relief money.
The signatures and stamps on the case are so clearly distinguishable that no one can find anything strange.
The closing letter of the case was written to Da Tian Ting. All the charges of the Qin family were pardoned, and all the officials of the Qin family were restored to their original positions.
In such a great situation, Qin E was sitting in the secret hall of the Criminal Department feeling depressed. Although Kang Rongqi and Min Wuduan were brought to justice, the masterminds behind the two cases escaped quietly without leaving any traces, which made her worried. Uneasy.
If this person becomes evil again and targets the Qin family, how should she deal with it?
Qi Yue walked in quietly, and seeing that the girl was still looking sad, he promised softly: "Don't worry. Even if this case is closed, I will not give up on tracing the person behind the scenes. I will definitely fight for the Qin family. Get justice."
Qin E stared at him silently, curved her lips, and made a somewhat ugly expression: "Thank you very much. But this is our Qin family's business. Now that His Majesty has issued the decree, if you check again... If you are discussed by the courtiers, you will not be implicated."
Qi Yue immediately said: "What are you talking about? Your business is my business, why should we distinguish it so clearly?"
Qin E smiled faintly, her expression not as gentle as the previous few days, and returned to her previous attitude towards him: "Master Qi, when I came to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case with you, I said in advance that as long as the case is closed, you and I will still Bridges lead to bridges and roads lead to roads, and they have nothing to do with each other.”
Qi Yue was stunned, a trace of loneliness fell in her eyes, and she said bitterly: "Do you have to think so hard?"
Qin E didn't speak, the room became quiet, and the breathing of the two people could be clearly heard.
The stalemate lasted for a while, until an emergency report sounded outside the door, and an official rushed in, breaking the original atmosphere: "Master Qi! It's not good! The patrol camp just sent someone to report it. It's said that Huai Cheng The princess was driving out of the city today and was robbed by a group of robbers on the road."
"What!"
Qin E jumped up and said in a panic: "Who dares to be so impudent in the important place of Gyeonggi? Dare to rob the princess of Zhou Dynasty?"
Just listen to the official say: "I heard from the patrol camp that the water bandits who helped Kangrong Banner transport silver in the silver theft case are the same group of crazy gangsters who were captured by Dali Temple a few nights ago. I'm afraid they heard the news from the capital. Wanting to take personal revenge."
Qi Yue was also angry: "How audacious! Go! Gather people and cooperate with the patrol battalion to pursue these thieves! In addition, notify the General's Mansion and Yue Mansion immediately."
The official said again: "General Su has chased him out alone! He and the bandits lost their trace on the mountain road outside the city. The Silver Armored Guards and the Forbidden Army have been dispatched and are searching for the two of them everywhere. Mr. Yue from Dali Temple also led He followed the trapper outside the city."
Qi Yue and Qin E looked at each other, temporarily put aside their resentments, and led the men of the Criminal Department into the search and rescue operation.
Outside Jinling City, on the south hill to the north of Zhuying Mountain.
Xiao Yuehuai was tied up and stuffed into a carriage, feeling dizzy and sick from the bumps on the mountain road.
The two men driving outside seemed to be talking. She tried her best to get closer to the car door to hear what they were talking about.
However, the sound of the wheels rolling over the mountain road was too loud, so I could only hear the general idea intermittently. It seemed that they were going to throw her into the ruined temple on the ridge and scratch her alive, in order to vent their anger on their brother who was arrested and imprisoned.
Xiao Yuehuai simply couldn't figure it out. Where did Kang Rongqi hire these idiots to come up with such an idea, and they weren't afraid that the government would behead them all?
The capital must be in chaos right now because she was kidnapped. It won't take long before someone will follow her and come to rescue her. Before that, she needs to find a way to delay her.
Unexpectedly, before the car reached the top of the hill, the robber shouted: "Hey!"
Then the carriage suddenly stopped, and the huge impact caused her to almost roll off the cushion.
My ears quieted down, and a man's shout came from the front: "Where did you come from, boy! Do you want to die?!"
The other party didn't answer verbally, and Xiao Yuehuai didn't know what happened. After waiting silently, he heard a slight creaking sound from the roof of the car, as if someone was stepping quickly, and then there was the sound of fighting from behind the carriage.
It seemed like someone was confronting this group of thieves.
Xiao Yuehuai wanted to run away immediately, so she moved her body and planned to climb out of the car window. She tried to stand up and opened the brocade curtain with her forehead. Before she could take the next step, the car door suddenly opened.
Su Ying appeared in a blue robe and covered in blood. He stepped into the car in a few steps, held her in his arms, turned around and flew out of the car.
Xiao Yuehuai was stunned. She didn't react until her feet landed firmly on the ground and Lang Jun untied the hemp rope tied to her body.
She looked up the slope and saw that the group of seven or eight robbers who had kidnapped her had been knocked to the ground. Their hamstrings were broken and they were bleeding profusely. Although the injuries they suffered were not fatal, they would never recover. Walk normally.
In order to prevent this group of people from committing suicide, Su Ying tied their wrists and stuffed a huge cotton ball into each person's mouth.
He has done so many things in such a short period of time...
Seeing Su Ying's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yuehuai asked cautiously: "General Su...are you chasing here alone?"
In fact, I was full of uneasy thoughts——
Why is he chasing after me alone? Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to silence her and put the blame on these idiots?
Su Ying didn't raise his eyes, and after pulling off the rope wrapped around her hand, he just asked: "Is the princess injured?"
Xiao Yuehuai was startled, shook her head and said, "They haven't had time to hurt me yet."
Su Ying said nothing, turned around and squatted in front of the princess, as if he wanted to carry her on his back.
Xiao Yuehuai waved her hands quickly and said politely: "How dare I let the general carry him? Since the danger has been eliminated, why don't we go down the mountain as soon as possible?"
Lang Jun's back obviously paused, but he still pretended to be fine and got up, walking down the mountain without saying a word, walking in front to guide the princess.
The mountain road had just experienced a light rain and was now muddy, with dewdrops floating everywhere, soaking in the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Xiao Yuehuai followed him slowly. After calming down, she noticed that Su Ying seemed to be seriously injured, and blood was dripping from his sleeves. She suddenly felt guilty: He... really came to save her, and he didn't mean any harm.
The two of them walked neither far nor near, and never said a word to each other until they reached the bottom of the mountain.
The sky gradually turned into dusk and became darker and darker. Xiao Yuehuai saw a few clusters of firelight on the path ahead, and she felt happy and hurriedly caught up with Su Ying: "General, it looks like someone is coming. Your injury needs to be treated quickly. I... help you?"
Lang Jun didn't raise his eyes, the mask covered the paleness and pain on his face. He patiently refused in a low voice: "I am full of flesh and blood and dirty. The princess is a daughter of gold and cannot be contaminated with filth."
Xiao Yuehuai thought he was getting angry and didn't dare to disturb him. She walked to the side angrily and lowered her head helplessly. She really couldn't figure out why this person wanted to harm her, but also tried his best to protect her?
