Chapter 152 This is not the princess
Shen Mingjiao ran forward desperately, at this time the guards who lived not far from the next door were finally awakened by Cheng Geer's roar,
It wasn't that they slept soundly, it was just that Cheng Geer and Aruna made too much noise at first, which made them lose their vigilance.
The first person to open the door was the entourage beside Cheng Geer,
Shen Mingjiao met her entourage's gaze, without any panic on her face, she smiled slightly at the other party, and said "excuse me",
The follower paused for a moment, and looked away calmly. It wasn't that he was showing kindness, but he knew clearly that they were just pawns and scapegoats for the Crown Princess of the Great Xia Kingdom.
He has secretly made up his mind that he will try his best to persuade Cheng Geer to flee back to Beidi. If the other party does not listen, he can only leave quietly in order to survive.
Shen Mingjiao went down the stairs in one breath. Fortunately, the shopkeeper in this store seemed to know that something would happen tonight, so they all hid early. At this time, the lobby was empty and dark.
After clearly hearing Cheng Geer's approaching roar, she fumbled to open the small door leading to the backyard.
She didn't run out in a hurry, but squatted behind a large water tank in the corner of the room, listening quietly.
The man in black came out of the inn, found the captain of the guard hiding in front of the inn, and repeated what Shen Mingjiao had left in his mind before.
The captain of the guard did not doubt, he asked the man in black: "Which direction did the second prince of Beidi go?"
The man in black's mind went blank for a moment, but his mouth subconsciously followed the memory:
"The subordinates saw him leave the small gate in the backyard of the inn, and faintly saw him heading north. When the subordinates chased him, he was gone?"
The captain of the guard ordered two people to go back to the sheriff's mansion to report the situation, and ordered six more people to find someone on the road leading to the small gate in the backyard of the inn. He himself took the rest of the people into the inn.
Shen Mingjiao heard hurried footsteps outside the wall, she stopped hesitating, stood up and ran in the opposite direction.
Cheng Geer clutched his stomach and ran downstairs, and came to the backyard. Through the faint light of the oil lamp in his hand, he caught a glimpse of Shen Mingjiao's running back.
He was about to go after him when the captain of the guard broke in with someone. The guards brought by Cheng Geer also happened to go downstairs.
The two parties met, and the atmosphere was tense for a while. The captain of the guard looked at Cheng Geer, his eyes narrowed slightly.
directly asked: "Where is Princess Su?"
Cheng Geer suddenly saw these people blocking his way, and then heard the other party ask Shen Mingjiao, Cheng Geer thought it was Feng Lisheng's person, and instantly became furious.
Holding a knife, he was about to step forward and fight people desperately, his personal attendant hurriedly stopped him, and said to the guard leader who was staring at them:
"Concubine Su is not here, she has already run away and injured our prince!"
It means that you should hurry up and chase people, we are also victims.
Unfortunately... There is a pig teammate on the stall.
Cheng Geer has determined that these people were sent by Feng Lisheng. It was here to take Shen Mingjiao away, so he shook off his entourage's hand, and sneered evilly at the corner of his mouth:
"Haha, that woman is dead! She died under the main hall..."
accompanied: "..."
The captain of the guard frowned: "What about the corpse?"
The boss told me that Shen Mingjiao's body must be brought back.
Cheng Geer sneered: "The corpse? Of course it was burned, and it disappeared!"
The captain of the guard obviously didn't believe it, and was about to ask again. Hundreds of people came at the door. Seeing the middle-aged scribe headed by him, the captain of the guard couldn't help being surprised:
"Master Hu, why did you come here in person?"
Master Hu is the confidant of Cao Junshou.
Master Hu ignored him, but pointed to Cheng Geer and his party and said loudly to the people behind him:
"Take down this group of villains who dare to kidnap Princess Su!"
The people behind all drew out their knives.
They are all soldiers of the prefecture's mansion or transferred government servants. Although his martial arts were not as good as Cheng Geer and the guards behind him, they couldn't hold back their numbers!
The two parties fought in a scuffle, and personally swung their swords to beat back a rushing yamen servant, and said to Cheng Geer:
"Master, run away! If this continues, none of us will be able to escape."
Cheng Geer's face was pale at this time, and his stomach throbbed in pain, which made his movement of swinging the knife slightly distorted.
Although he was impulsive, he was also afraid of death. Hearing this, he retreated to the backyard and said to the guards: "You stay and hold them back."
All the guards' eyes flashed unwillingness. The master meant to leave them to die, but as guards, they could only obey.
Seeing that he had already retreated to the small door in the backyard, a long knife slashed straight at the door in front of him.
Seeing that he couldn't hide, he pulled Aruna who had been closely behind him at the critical moment. Push people hard in front of them.
With a sound of "噗嗤", the long knife pierced through Aruna's body, and she fell slowly, her pale face was full of disbelief and injuries.
No one knows how much she loves this man, even though she will be hurt every time afterward, she is willing to do so, but in the end it is a matter of life and death, and he abandons him without hesitation.
Cheng Geer didn't even look at the woman on the ground, and ran forward along the road that Shen Mingjiao left,
After all, his martial arts were there, and it didn't take long for him to get rid of the Yamen servants who were chasing after him.
At the inn, Master Hu ordered a team of people to chase after Cheng Geer, and the scuffle continued. Seeing that their master had run away, all the guards who followed Cheng Geer fled away with their knives in hand, but because of the difference in numbers, in the end, except for Shen Mingjiao's personal entourage who had let go before, the rest were captured one after another.
Master Hu remained silent with a sullen face.
Feng Lisheng hurriedly rode away, but was finally noticed by someone who cared.
Cao Junshou was shocked and terrified when he learned that His Royal Highness King Su actually came to Hedong County to find someone in person.
Shocked that King Yu Su cared so much about Shen Mingjiao!
Fear that if King Su knows what he is doing secretly, then he will be finished.
But there is no turning back when the bow is opened. Fortunately, King Su seems to have found nothing, so he can only make mistakes.
As long as Cheng Geer and his party are killed and all this matter is placed on Cheng Geer's head, if His Royal Highness King Su finds out anything in the future, he can only die without proof.
Shen Mingjiao gritted her teeth and ran forward desperately. Fortunately, the moonlight is not bad tonight, so she won't lose sight of her fingers.
A black-painted flat-topped carriage was parked not far away. A middle-aged woman helped a half-grown girl into the carriage. The girl seemed to be asleep, with her head tilted to one side. The woman nodded to the driver sitting in front. The driver tightened the reins and was about to leave.
Shen Mingjiao withdrew her gaze and slowed down a little.
She intends to go to Yunyin Pavilion, the Red Lotus Sect should have a way to send her out of the city, or contact the garrison of Hedong County. Ask Feng Lisheng to pick her up.
But at this moment, Shen Mingjiao seemed to hear footsteps behind the sound. She was startled, and looked left and right. At this time, he was walking on the main road, and there was no place to hide on either side.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer, she gritted her teeth, ran forward at a faster speed, and shouted softly to the horse that was about to leave in front: "Wait a minute!"
The woman sitting on the shaft of the car turned her head, and through the still clear moonlight, she happened to see Shen Mingjiao's face clearly. Excitement flashed across her eyes, and she signaled the coachman not to leave.
Shen Mingjiao panted and ran forward, quickly glanced at the middle-aged woman, then lowered her head and said urgently:
"Auntie, please do me a favor, can you give me a lift? My brother lost money in a bet and wants to pay off his debt with me! He...he is about to come after him! Madam, please help me!" Choked up.
The gloom in the eyes of the middle-aged woman was even worse, and she felt that this was really a big pie that fell from the sky!
She hurriedly got out of the carriage, supported Shen Mingjiao's arm, and pushed her into the carriage:
"Oh! It's so pitiful to say what you can't ask for. How can such a good girl have such a bad family..."
While speaking, Shen Mingjiao was pushed into the carriage.
Shen Mingjiao saw four or five unconscious girls tied to the car, she didn't panic in the slightest, but looked at the middle-aged woman in surprise: "So you are a human tooth, auntie!"
The middle-aged woman's eyes flashed, and she smiled.
The carriage set off quickly, and Shen Mingjiao sat quietly with her eyes downcast. In the middle of the night, the bound comatose girl...
Naturally, it cannot be a human tooth, but a human trafficker! Although there is a difference in one word, the nature is very different.
Generally, those who can be traffickers are very familiar with the roads and know which way to go without being discovered.
As for seeking skin from a tiger, there's nothing he can do about it. Cheng Geer probably hates her to the core at this moment. If he is caught by the other party, he will only die.
Cheng Geer watched the carriage go away, he was so angry that he roared to the sky, and he swore that he would bring this woman back and tear her body to pieces!
…
Feng Lisheng looked at the figure covered in white cloth in front of him, and stood there in a daze for a long time without moving.
Master Chen sighed: "If Your Highness really doesn't want to, then don't watch it!"
"This is the autopsy report made by you."
Feng Lisheng took it mechanically, but didn't open it.
He stepped forward, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and couldn't help but think of his previous life. He led troops into the imperial city to quell the rebels. He was full of expectations to go to the apse where the female relatives were, but Shen Mingjiao greeted him coldly and without warmth. corpse.
At that moment, he covered his heart and knelt down slowly on the ground, his chest was so painful that he was suffocating. He had suffered countless injuries, and he felt that no matter how painful the wound was, he could endure it without changing his face. But he only felt that the pain was hundreds of times worse than the most serious injury he had ever suffered.
He closed his eyes, is he going to experience the same thing again?
He couldn't imagine what would happen to him if Shen Mingjiao left him again?
In the end, he lifted the white cloth little by little, revealing the woman's **** face.
The woman was about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a plain skirt, but the finely crafted fabric was torn to pieces, and her body was covered with ambiguous bruises, especially her lower body, which was even more horrible. At a glance, one can know what happened to the woman during her lifetime.
Feng Lisheng saw at a glance that the woman's slender and beautiful left ring finger was wearing a familiar red diamond ring.
Master Chen whispered from the side: "The body was found in a village outside Luodu City. According to the various evidences of the inquest, it is very consistent with Princess Su..."
Feng Li Sheng Mo Ran interrupted him: "This is not the princess!"
Master Chen sighed, only thinking that he was a self-deceit unwilling to accept the truth,
He took out a portrait: "Based on the facial bones and other characteristics of the deceased, Wu Zuo worked with the artist to restore the deceased's appearance during his lifetime, which is seven to eight points similar to the princess."
With the current technology, it is basically certain that they are seven or eight points similar. Feng Wu glanced at it, and it was indeed very similar to the princess, maybe it was because of his painting skills, he just felt that there was an indescribable violation.
Feng Lisheng didn't look at it at all, and kept saying: "She's not a princess."
After finishing speaking, he carefully took off the ring on the woman's hand, turned around and planned to leave to continue looking for someone.
Master Chen was helpless, and simply asked: "Then why is Your Highness so sure that this is not the princess?"
Feng Lisheng raised his head, a pair of bloodshot blue eyes flashed softly: "Because of the feeling."
