Chapter 30: Empty
Ping'er picked up Narcissus and walked around to the back door of Narcissus House. When the www.biquge.info entered the courtyard, the housekeeper was coming out of the kitchen, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran over to ask what was wrong with the son, his face was so pale. He stretched out his hand to help, and Ping'er dodged for a while: "It's okay, I can deal with the wound, if someone looks for Gongzi these days, they will say that he is sick." ”
The butler nodded and was about to leave, when Ping'er said, "Let the kitchen cook a pot of blood-tonifying soup, and when it's ready, send it to the platform and call me." After speaking, he walked in front of the housekeeper with Narcissus on his back, and the housekeeper screamed "Ah" and quickly covered his mouth, looking at the blood on the clothes on Narcissus's back, "Don't you really need to help?"
Ping'er shook her head and told him to bring two basins of water to the platform. Upon entering the house, Ping'er immediately patted Narcissus's face, opened her eyelids and looked at it, as if she hadn't fainted completely, and breathed a sigh of relief and began to treat his wounds.
An Cheng had already arrived at the government office and was put in a cell as planned. Mizumi didn't know what Narcissus was going to do next, and was slowly pacing down the hall thinking. He didn't want Narcissus and Prime Minister to get involved, but he always felt that this kid wasn't talking to him about everything now, and maybe he had decided to meddle in this matter.
Just thinking about it, Yiyun walked in and saluted and asked, "My lord, I haven't thought too much about it, how could An Cheng hide in the Narcissus Residence, he shouldn't be going to eat." ”
The adult didn't look up and continued: "He is the countryman of that maid Ping'er, and when he looked for him, he was frozen enough to take him in, but I didn't expect him to be a bandit." But a few years ago, there was a strange thing in the prison of the Criminal Department, the prisoner who was not tried died without knowing it, so they were prejudiced there, and they didn't want the fellow to come to me because they didn't want to fall into the Criminal Department. ”
Yiyun nodded, "This Ping'er girl can be regarded as a righteous murderer, but it's right to do so, you can't let him be a bandit for the rest of his life, it seems that Ping'er doesn't just have hometown feelings for this fellow." The adult subconsciously looked up at him, "You think so?"
Yiyun was stunned, but he just said such a sentence in passing, and was stunned by his question. Seeing that the adult coughed dryly, he continued: "Getting back to the point, can An Cheng's words be believed?" He insisted that he had never seen the goods, and he also wanted to know why those people wanted to frame him. ”
Lord Shui didn't answer, and walked back and forth a few steps, thinking about what Narcissus was going to do, the Criminal Department would soon know that An Cheng was in Jingzhao Mansion, and if the prime minister believed that he had swallowed the goods and discovered the secret of the birthday gift, he would do everything possible to let the Criminal Department transfer people away, and there would be nothing he could do to protect him at that time.
Thinking about it, he said to Yiyun: "Remember, An Cheng's arrest was reported by someone who stole him, and we only learned that he was the person to be arrested by the Criminal Department after we were caught, and we also confessed to the two arresters who went to arrest people just now." ”
Yiyun nodded and saluted and walked out, the adults didn't pay attention and were still thinking that the attention of the criminal department should be shifted to the gang of bandits, so that An Cheng could be truly safe. When he looked up, he found that Yiyun was no longer in the hall, and hurriedly ran out to find him.
After finding him in the courtyard, he panted and glanced around, and said in a low voice: "You go to Ancheng's village now, find a way to let the people from the Criminal Department follow you to find the village, no matter if there is still anyone there, don't do anything, and then leave quietly." ”
The adults knew that after Narcissus left the stockade, the gang must have run away. The Criminal Department would not believe such a coincidence, and at this time, An Cheng was arrested on the charge of theft, and he would definitely want to follow Yiyun to find the birthday gift. If they find that the people in the stockade have run away, they may be able to think of the strange thing here. There is no other way but to try.
Seeing that the adults were in a daze, Yiyun always felt that this matter was not simple, and the arrest of An Cheng was not just to help Miss Ping'er, it seemed that he still had some secrets on his body.
Early in the morning, the boss found Eryu lying on the ground, covered with dry branches. Immediately ran over and probed his nose, and the alive one, breathed a sigh of relief, and woke him up.
After Eryu woke up, he told what happened, and the big boss looked at the dry branches, and felt that this person had no malicious intentions, and he must have been afraid that he would freeze to death by laying branches on him. But no matter what, the matter of the Buddha statue was revealed, and for everyone's safety, they all had to leave the village.
The eldest boss and the second boss hid in the sister-in-law's mother's house, and in Lihua Village, which is more than ten kilometers away from the village, the other brothers went their separate ways.
When leaving, the big boss wanted to leave the Buddha statue, as if it hadn't happened. The second master felt that as long as the prime minister knew that they had discovered the secret of the birthday ceremony, he would kill them all, and if he had the Buddha statue in his hand, he could also use it as a bargaining chip at the critical moment, so he must take it with him.
After Yiyun arrived at the stockade, he looked around inside and out, and sure enough, there was no one, he left the stockade and hid nearby, and after a while, Meng Chen and his group followed.
He could now be sure that the adults were hiding something from him, and An Cheng didn't tell the truth. The bandits robbed something, were deceived by their accomplices and smuggled it, and the rest of the people ran away overnight, which was by no means normal, thinking about leaving first.
Meng Chen and his group found that the entire village was empty, and carefully inspected it inside and out, as if they were in a hurry, and they didn't take away their daily necessities.
He walked into the council hall and walked forward in small steps, observing the details around him. Suddenly frowning, near the table, there were several white objects on the earthy yellow floor, some large and some small uneven. He immediately ran over and squatted down to take a look, and sure enough, it was a broken porcelain piece.
Almost fainted in an instant, he held his forehead, how could he believe the words of the bandits, and wasted a day looking for that An Cheng.
After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Meng Chen described his guess. Since there were broken porcelain pieces on the ground, the goods must have been broken in the stockade, so everyone saw the Buddha statue.
He now felt that the Buddha statue was not in An Cheng's hands, and they were looking for An Cheng with great fanfare, just to buy time for themselves to leave the village. Extrapolating from the time, he felt that An Cheng didn't have time to go back after kidnapping him, and those people had already discovered the secret of Shouli, so they framed An Cheng, who was the only one who was not there.
"Eh", Master Meng suddenly shouted, "We are careless." He felt that Meng Chen's analysis was very correct. The prime minister glared at him, and he lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
The prime minister paced a few steps behind his back, took a deep breath and looked at Meng Chen, "Next, this matter is fully responsible for you, for the time being, don't let the people in the Criminal Department know the truth, if you feel that it is inconvenient to use them, just ask the housekeeper for someone." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the housekeeper and asked him to cooperate with Meng Chen's actions, and the housekeeper smiled and nodded. The prime minister added, "Take back the Buddha statue, keep the secret, and leave no living mouth." After saying that, he walked out with his hands behind his back.
