The Concubine's Conspiracy: Rebirth of the Poisonous Concubine

Chapter 269
"Cousin Ling'er, think about it, is there any place in this village that we haven't found?" Nangong Jingli frowned slightly, and said abruptly, "For example, secret passages, dungeons and cells What."

"what……"

Luo Ling'er screamed, "I remembered, there is also a dungeon. When we were brought back to the villa, we were put into the dungeon by those bandits. The guards of Zuo Ming, Wang's doctor, and housekeeper Luo also all I was locked there, and my sister and eldest sister were taken there together."

"Well, let's go and have a look now. If it's really secretive enough, maybe they can escape this disaster by luck." Nangong Jingyu said to Luo Ling'er with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

"Seventh Cousin, senior sisters, please follow me."

Luo Ling'er said that she should lead the way first, and she still remembered the direction to the dungeon. She led the people through the wooden house, made several turns, and turned around a stone peak. After that, they saw the entrance of the underground cave.

"It's here. This is a natural karst cave. The robbers probably wanted to make it easier and didn't need to rebuild it, so they turned this place into a dungeon for their captives."

Luo Ling'er pointed to the entrance of the cave, and stopped, but she didn't know that, in fact, the people from Tingyunzhai came to Tingyun Mountain for less than a year, and this dungeon was left over from earlier years, and it was not rigorous. Built by others.

They just picked up a ready-made bargain.

"Cousin, girls, follow me carefully."

As Nangong Jingyu said, he entered the karst cave at the first, and before walking far, he saw the rows of wooden cages, in which there were faint figures crawling on the ground.

"It's the left guard and the palace doctor."

Luo Xian'er screamed, stepped forward and drew his sword to split the iron lock. The three people on the ground were the wounded and unconscious Zuo Ming, the doctor of the Luo Mansion, and Luo Cheng, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

All three of them were pale and their eyelids were tightly closed. Nangong Jingyu stepped forward and sniffed the three of them: "They are still alive. They just passed out. However, the left guard was seriously injured. It seems that it was a sudden attack from the cottage. When the situation happened, those people hadn't had time to take care of them, so they escaped a catastrophe."

Luo Ling'er turned to look at her senior sister: "Senior Sister Minjun, you still have medicine in there, give them some medicine and some water first, and wait for them to wake up before we can find out what happened, big sister and Where did Fifth Sister go?"

"Okay, junior sister, don't worry."

Wu Minjun immediately took out the medicine and handed it to several disciples of Luoxia Mountain, and fed them medicine and water respectively, and he bandaged the wound for Zuo Ming. Next breath.

Time passed little by little.

Soon Wang's doctor woke up first, looking at Luo Ling'er and Nangong Jingyu in front of him, the 40-year-old Wang's doctor actually burst into tears.

"Wang's doctor, what happened? Where did eldest sister and fifth sister go?" Luo Ling'er asked impatiently, and Wang's doctor calmed down his excitement.

Then he said: "Back to the princess, this, I don't know, after the princess and the eldest lady and the fifth lady were taken away that day, they were never brought back. The medicines and weapons we carried were also searched, let alone Treating the left guard's wounds, at the beginning there were people delivering food for us, but we didn't know what happened that night, we only saw that there seemed to be a fire on the other side of the cottage, and there were screams, and after that, There is no one to deliver food for us.”

"Later, Director Luo passed out from hunger. I gritted my teeth and persisted. However, I still couldn't hold on, and I also passed out from hunger. I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect that the prince and princess came. Another village."

The Wang's doctor had a look of fear, and his ashen face was full of rejoicing for his survival after the catastrophe, and he explained the matter clearly in a few sentences.

But saying it is tantamount to not saying it.

Luo Linger's tears kept falling, "It's all my fault, if I hadn't injured their people that day, Big Sister and Fifth Sister would not have been in danger, they, they..."

"Cousin, don't blame yourself. If you don't do this, you may be in danger yourself. Besides, you are trying to escape and recruit reinforcements. You are right to do so."

Nangong Jingyu frowned lightly, and said comfortingly, "How about this, let's rest here for one night first, and wait for the emperor to dispatch troops tomorrow, and then we will search the mountains and see."

"It seems that it can only be so."

Several people set up a fire in the prison, about an hour later, Steward Luo also woke up, and his words were the same as those of the doctor in the royal family, so far, Luo Ling'er didn't bother to ask any more, and only had a little worry on his brows.

Everyone fell asleep.

The brocade-clothed man who was sleeping suddenly opened his eyes, got up and walked out of the cave, and disappeared into the cave after a few dodges.

"Subordinates refer to the master."

On the cliff, the man stood with his hands behind his back, looked at the group of black-clothed guards in front of him, and said coldly, "Have you found any news?"

"Returning to the master, this subordinate has asked Hyacinth to use the tracking technique, but we still haven't found any traces of those robbers. If this subordinate's guess is correct, there must be a master of medicine among them, who covered up the butterfly powder we sowed." Smell, we haven't found the whereabouts of the money yet."

Medicine expert?

The man's face became even more gloomy. When he met Luo Xian'er on the way, he persuaded Nangong Jingchen to divide his troops into two groups to find out the truth first, but that idiot just refused to listen.

He couldn't expose himself, so he could only put trace powder on the silver box just in case.

Unexpectedly, it still fell short!
"Withdraw all the people, and there is no need to investigate any more. Since they dared to rob the relief money, if they want to come, they must have a perfect plan. The officers and soldiers will come tomorrow, and let our people go back." The man said with a dark face, Even the butterfly powder he sprinkled was broken, obviously premeditated.

Still a very detailed plan.

"Yes, it's just the master. If the relief money was robbed, what if the emperor blames it?"

"I have my own discretion in this matter. You retreat first. The disciples of Luoxia Mountain are not weak in martial arts, so don't let them find out. Inform Hyacinth to lead people to continue tracking in the dark. They want to transport away such a large amount of silver. , it won't be that easy."

"Yes."

The man paused and said: "In addition, the news of the robbery of the relief money was released on the Green Forest Road, and people were sent to investigate the foundry craftsmen. The silver coins were all official parts. Once they were robbed, they would find craftsmen to re-melt them. Otherwise, those silver taels cannot be used at all. Also, secretly send people to monitor the major banks in the nearby towns to see if there are large amounts of silver in and out of the major banks. Don’t act rashly after you lock the target, and report it to the king.”

"Yes, my subordinates obey."

The man took the order and left.

The man stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the stronghold dormant like a beast in the dark, his face was full of anger. The last time the Liu family's affairs were messed up, the higher-ups were already displeased with him.

Now, the relief money has been robbed.

It is conceivable what kind of thunder and anger will be attracted.

After thinking about it back and forth, I always felt that there seemed to be something wrong, but after thinking about it, I couldn't figure out where the wrong thing was.

Nangong Jingyu's face was gloomy, and there was a sharp cold light in his faint pupils.

60 taels of snowflake silver, what method did they use to transport the silver, and where did they go, and why did those people come up with the idea of ​​giving money?

Is it the bandits on the road? I always feel that they don't look like it. Those robbers trained quickly, with only 20 people, they brought down [-] elite soldiers without saying a word.

Obviously premeditated.

You must know that robbing disaster relief officials is tantamount to taking the lives of tens of thousands of victims, unless it is a truly vicious person.The robbers on the road generally would not touch the court's disaster relief officials.

Who the hell is it that is so bold and dares to risk the world?
