Chapter 163 The Princess Was Kidnapped
As the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor had expected, the constables and yamen runners who were sent to the victim's home to investigate sent back news one after another.
All the missing children were born on the Ghost Festival. Their families changed their birth dates to avoid bad omens.
The clues of the case are gradually becoming clear, and all that remains is to follow the clues to track down the culprit!
In addition to mobilizing the provincial police chiefs to investigate in various counties, the King of Qin sent out the shadow guards with high martial arts skills in teams of three to track down the culprit.
Luo Li had nothing to do, so she took Hong Gu, Si Yu and the other two with her to travel around and look for suitable houses and properties.
Shadow guards Mo Ming and Mo Lei followed behind, responsible for protecting the princess's safety.
Because of his outstanding performance, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was flattered by Shen Xi and became addicted to the game of solving crimes.
Every day, the three of them, including Prince Qin and Shen Xi, analyzed the case together and sorted out the information sent back by the chief constables, yamen runners and shadow guards.
For two consecutive days, the hidden corners of the city, the Taoist temples within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the deep mountains and old forests were carefully searched, but no trace of the crime scene or the culprit was found! …………
A local dental dealer told me that there was a mansion for sale in the west of the county town. The mansion covered a large area and was beautifully built. Luo Li was very interested and took people to the west of the city to see the mansion.
The group arrived in front of the mansion that was for sale. The gatehouse of the courtyard was tall and classical and elegant. On the indigo-blue plaque with gold letters were inscribed two large, simple and powerful characters "Chen Garden".
When you walk in, you will see a spacious courtyard and exquisite buildings.
Small bridges arch over streams, jagged rockeries, tall bamboos, winding stone paths, and exquisite pavilions and towers are hidden among the ancient trees, combining the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River with the boldness of the north.
The dental dealer said that the original owner of the garden was a wealthy businessman from the capital. He had some troubles in his business and was short of funds, so he had no choice but to sell the garden.
What satisfied Luo Li the most was that in this garden-style courtyard built against the mountain, there was actually a spring that continuously gushed out a stream of clear spring water. A pool of spring water turned into a stream, winding and circling in the low-lying and flat area to form a lotus pond, and then winding and circling to the distance.
The spring eye silently cherishes the trickle, the tree shadow shines on the water and loves the soft sunshine. The little lotus has just revealed its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it. This poem appeared in Luo Li's mind.
[I want this mansion! ]
Luo Li was extremely satisfied, but she asked calmly, "Since the owner is in a hurry to sell it, can the price be more favorable?
If the price is right, I will buy it and use it as a villa, and bring my family here to stay for a few days every year when I am free. "
The dentist was a short, thin, middle-aged man. He smiled slightly when he heard this, and a shrewd cunning flashed in his eyes.
"If this noble man is interested, I can lower the price by another 6,000 taels, and the transaction will be completed in the round number of 60,000 taels of silver.
However, you have to pay double my commission of three hundred taels. If you agree, I will take care of this matter."
"Deal!" Luo Li agreed readily!
It’s easier to get things done if you have money and power!
Luo Li bought the mansion she loved right away. Siyu and Yuli happily followed the dealer to the county government office to handle the transfer formalities.
"This exquisite and beautiful mansion will belong to me from now on!
Hong Gu, take down the plaque of "Chen Garden" on the gate tomorrow and replace it with the golden plaque of "Luo Garden." Luo Li ordered happily.
A white shadow flashed by! ...
"Miss, the little spirit beast followed us here!" Hong Gu said in surprise.
The little spirit beast, which was even smaller and more delicate than a cat, stopped on the top of a pavilion, and its two enchanting eyes of different colors looked at Luo Li quietly.
Luo Li was delighted!
With a friendly smile on her face, like Aunt Fox luring Little White Rabbit, she waved to it, "Little White, come down and play with us, okay?
I have all kinds of delicious food here. What do you like to eat? Meat jerky, dried fish, fresh fruit, delicious spicy noodles, we have everything delicious. …
Good boy! Come down and eat together, okay? ..."
The little spirit beast with pure white fur that was quietly looking at Luo Li suddenly let out a strange cry!
Two ghostly figures swiftly pounced towards Luo Li from the lush old tree! ...
"Miss! Hide quickly..." Hong Gu exclaimed, drew her sword and rushed forward.
"Ding ding dang dang!..." Amid the lightning-fast sound of swords clashing, a ghostly figure fell to the ground and Hong Gu was forced to retreat more than ten steps.
Luo Li finally reacted and her hair stood up instantly!
Luo Li ran away! Before she took the first step, another ghost figure flew over and chopped her on the neck, knocking her unconscious.
Luo Li's last consciousness was to wail in her heart! [Damn it! When a top expert suddenly attacked, I didn't even have time to draw my pistol! ]
Hong Gu was so scared that her heart and liver were broken!
"Miss!..." While she was distracted, the ghost in black took the opportunity to stab her in the shoulder.
Mo Ming and Mo Lei, who were hiding in the dark, had already rushed over with swords in hand. With their combined swords, they repelled the black-clad ghost who wanted to take the princess away!
The two shadow guards in black worked together to repel the black-clad ghost, and the two sides fought each other.
The two black-clothed ghosts had strange figures, and their martial arts were even more strange and vicious. The scimitars in their hands were as sharp and tough as the snowflake iron swords in the hands of the shadow guards. In a short while, the black-clothed ghosts had the upper hand.
After being injured, Hong Gu was even more defeated. She used all her mighty moves to hurt both sides, but she couldn't hold on for long. The steel sword in her hand was cut into several pieces by the enemy, leaving only the hilt in her hand.
Hong Gu threw away the hilt of the sword, drew out a short blade, and fought desperately with the enemy like crazy. After being hit by two swords in a row, she was pierced through the lower abdomen by the enemy's sword, and fell to the ground covered in blood!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Ming quickly took a few steps back, withdrew from the battle circle, took out something from his arms, and shot it into the sky!
An arrow with a red flame flew up into the sky with a sharp sound. This was the signal arrow from the Qin Palace's shadow guards requesting emergency support!
Morey, who was fighting alone, had been stabbed in the left arm by the enemy!
After sending the signal, Mo Ming saw that another ghost in black had carried the princess up. He didn't bother to rescue Morey. He shouted angrily, jumped up and stabbed the ghost with a sword!
The black-clothed ghost was a martial arts expert with strange and vicious moves. He took advantage of Morey's distraction and slashed back with his sword, actually cutting off Morey's left wrist!
Morey gritted his teeth! Without even looking at the severed hand on the ground, he fought desperately with the enemy with red eyes!
Mo Ming flew with a sword towards the enemy who was carrying the princess, but was blocked by the enemy who was fighting with Morey. He watched helplessly as the princess was snatched away and flew over the high wall.
"I'll hold him back! You go chase him!..." Morey shouted angrily, attacking the powerful enemy with a move that would hurt both sides!
Mo Ming finally found the opportunity to withdraw, and with a few leaps he was over the high wall, chasing after the black-clad ghost who had kidnapped the princess! ...
When Qin Wang Zhao Defang and his men rushed to the rescue, in the spacious courtyard, there was only Hong Gu lying unconscious in a pool of blood, with a bloody severed hand on the ground!
Where is the princess?
The King of Qin's soul trembled with fear, and he felt a tightness in his chest and suffocation!
Without caring about the difference between men and women, King Qin placed his right palm on Hong Gu's vest and transferred a trace of his internal force to her.
Hong Gu slowly opened her eyes, "Two black scarves... masked men, machetes... a man and a woman..."
Hong Gu spoke out the characteristics of the enemy with difficulty...
"Uncle-master! Stop the bleeding and give treatment to Hong Gu. Yun Yi! Recall all the shadow guards and chase the enemy..." When King Qin's words fell, he had already jumped over the high wall.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor quickly inserted several golden needles into Hong Gu's body, crushed a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, then slapped Hong Gu so hard that she swallowed it.
Then he turned around, jumped over the high wall, and chased in the direction of his nephew!
Yun Yi also passed the prince's order to the first shadow guard who arrived, and then followed the prince and Senior Ghost Hand.
The King of Qin followed the scattered traces of blood and tracked them all the way to a river outside the city.
With a gleam of light in his eyes, he leaped towards the figure lying on the ground.
: "Morey!...Where's the princess?"
Morey, who had lost too much blood, was almost in a coma. His face was pale and he barely opened his eyelids: "The princess... was kidnapped by a black-clad ghost... and put on a boat... heading north... and was being followed for unknown reasons..."
The King of Qin handed Morey over to his uncle who came to treat him, then he jumped onto the small boat on the shore, picked up a bamboo pole and pushed the river bank, and the boat sailed towards the north like an arrow!
A flying figure arrived in time and jumped onto the boat. It was Yun Yi!
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor gave Morey an injection to stop the bleeding and fed him a pill, but then he saw his nephew sailing far away in the boat.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor threw Morey on the spot, jumped onto another small boat, kicked the astonished boatman into the water, picked up the bamboo pole and sped away!
Qin Wang Zhao Defang used his inner strength to steer the boat with Yun Yi, and his heart was filled with anxiety, panic, heartache, anger, and grief!
[Li'er! Don't be afraid, your husband will definitely rescue you! ]
