76 CHAPTER XXXVI

"Vixen!" The eldest prince waved his sleeves and scolded angrily, "It's fortunate that I didn't include you in the mansion at the beginning, otherwise in the future, wouldn't my courtyard be forever peaceful?" ”

Xiao Cui snorted coldly, and couldn't care about his identity, and scolded back: "You can be my father at your age, who can take a fancy to it?" ”

"Okay," Xuanyuan Luo scolded: "Since one of you said that you didn't see anyone, and the other is sure that the other party has kidnapped your sister, why don't you let someone search it?" ”

"I'm fine. 【 Update fast&nbp;&nbp;Please search】" The eldest prince said boldly.

Seeing that the other party looked confident, Xia Yao was a little puzzled - was it really a mistake?

Because Xiaocui taboos the eldest prince's hands, the people who search for them are all guards brought by Xuanyuan Luo, as long as they are of the right age, they are all pulled to the courtyard for her to identify.

Time passed little by little, and Xiao Cui's forehead was already full of sweat.

……

"Miss Xiaocui, will you take a closer look?" The guard said with a bitter face: "We have seen this courtyard inside and out, and even the inconvenient places have also been visited by the green girls." ”

Xiao Cui opened her mouth and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Adults are good, let's look for it again!" ”

Qinglu stepped forward and said, "You have a good memory, did you make a mistake?" ”

"No, I can't be mistaken." Xiao Cui confirmed.

"I said, you little girl, why are you so stubborn?" The eldest prince was on fire, "There are a lot of girls in this town?" Why should I insist that you will not let go? ”

Everyone looked at each other, and they didn't know what to do?

"Let me ask you......" Xuanyuan Luo asked a little girl who was arrested below, "On the day of the full moon, will the eldest prince in your mansion go out?" ”

The little girl looked like a simple person, and replied conscientiously: "The slave remembers that the eldest prince went out very early that day. She tried hard to recall, "But on that day, many people from the second son and the third son went out to put river lanterns." ”

Xuanyuan Luo glanced at the careless eldest prince, and then continued to ask, "Then do you remember when the eldest prince returned home that day?" On the second day, is there anything unusual in your house? ”

"This ......" the maidservant replied with a sad face: "The matter of the eldest prince?" Where did the slave know so clearly? As for the next day, there was no change in the house. ”

"Okay, I see." Xuanyuan Luo nodded, and asked the county lord instead, "In this mansion, can you search anywhere?" ”

The county magistrate didn't know why, so he replied obediently: "Yes." "The other party has the jade pendant of the Fifth Highness in his hand, so he said no?

After receiving an affirmative answer, Xuanyuan Luo showed a comfortable smile, and said, "Then you will work hard to find out if there is a cellar and a dark room here." ”

Xiao Cui's eyes lit up when she said this, and she hurriedly said, "That's right, my sister must have been hidden by him." ”

The eldest prince's face, which had always been calm, suddenly became flustered, and he scolded loudly: "How can outsiders be allowed to enter such a private place as the dark room? ”

"The county master didn't speak? You're a junior, what are you talking about? Xuanyuan Luo smiled and said, "Could it be ...... Weak heart? ”

The eldest prince scolded secretly in his heart - where did he come from so many things? He knew he had just been too excited, and instead he was exposed. Thinking that the place is so hidden, the other party should not be aware of it.

He comforted himself, ignoring the uneasiness in his heart, and tried to regain his previous indifference, saying, "Because some of the ledgers are in the dark room, they are ......," he smiled wryly.

"Don't do bad things during the day, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door at night." Xia Yao sat next to Xuanyuan Luo and glanced at the eldest prince.

was taught by the two of them like this, and the eldest prince was a little uncomfortable.

Seeing him like this, the county magistrate smiled and said, "My eldest son has always been angry, and I hope your lordship will forgive me." ”

"Nothing." Xuanyuan Luo said lightly: "In the future, the county master will teach him well." ”

The eldest prince twisted his face.

"Muddy." After half a ring, Xuanyuan Luo saw that the people below had returned in vain, and shouted lightly: "You go to the son's room and take a good look." ”

"Yes." Qing Xi replied and walked into the house where the eldest prince had turned over before.

The room was filled with a strong smell of smoke, mixed with a hint of fishy smell, which made people feel disgusting. Qinglu searched the house carefully without changing his face, not letting go of any corner.

The eldest prince outside was absent-minded, stretching his neck from time to time to look inside the house, and he thought he was doing something very hidden.

Seeing his son like this, the county magistrate sighed in his heart - didn't the eldest son really do something bad?

After about a stick of incense, the green mud inside was still knocking. The eldest prince put his mind at ease, his face was much more relaxed, he smiled, "Little girl, I said I didn't catch your sister, you see, this house has been turned inside and out, even if it's a fly, you should find ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, everyone heard the sound of the mechanism activating.

The eldest prince's face, which was originally gray because of indulgence, suddenly turned pale, and his strangeness was too obvious, and everyone found out that something was wrong.

Qinglu put on a strong face, stepped out, and said, "My subordinates found a dark room in the eldest son's house......"

Xiao Cui was already impatient and shouted, "My lord, I'll go in and have a look." After speaking, he ran to the dark room with the dirty skirt.

"It's better to ...... Let's check it out too. Xuanyuan Luo looked at the eldest prince, and there was unfathomable darkness in his eyes.

The eldest prince had beads of sweat on his forehead, and he knew that he couldn't keep his secret.

If he hadn't sat on the stool at this time, I'm afraid he would have collapsed to the ground.

"You son of a." The county master's face was not much better, he pointed to the eldest prince and said, "You ...... You ......" he shuddered, unable to say anything more.

"Ahh Through the secret door, everyone outside could hear Xiao Cui's terrible screams.

Everyone was stunned, Qinglu had already strode in, this little girl screamed so miserably, didn't she suffer any harm?

Xuanyuan Luo also became serious, and said sharply: "Go down and have a look." ”

"Yes." The guard present was not a strong martial artist, so he got the order and went down to the dark room with a knife.

After a while, one of the guards came to report: "Master, there is no danger below......" Speaking of this, the iron-blooded man also couldn't bear it, he muttered, "It's just that the little girl is locked by an iron chain." ”

The eldest prince was already frightened, and his face was colorless.

Xia Yao hesitated when she heard this, "Can I go down and have a look?" ”

"It's too filthy down here, I'm afraid I'll stain my lady's eyes." The guard hesitated.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Luo whispered, "Why don't I go down and take a look, you can wait on it for a while?" Xuanyuan Luo knew very well about the people around him, if he was just locked, the guards would never show such a look.

"Okay!" Xia Yao is not a vexatious person, "Then you should be careful." ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan Luo handed Xia Yao to Huang Ming and said, "I'll come when I go." ”

The county master was also curious about what was going on below, so he followed Xuanyuan Luo down to the dark room with a shy face.

The door of the dark room is not big, tightly allowing one person to pass through, as soon as Xuanyuan Luo entered, he felt a cold air, and he couldn't help but shiver on a hot day.

The passage below is not long, a few meters ahead, there are rough steps, and when you go down the steps, Xuanyuan Luo sees a bloody whip hanging on the wall and some unsightly obscene/filthy materials.

The county magistrate's face was pale, and he almost went down with a soft foot.

"The county master has given birth to a good son!" Xuanyuan Luo's face was full of disgust, and his voice was as cold as an ice fountain at the bottom of the sea.

"Your Highness spares your life!" The county magistrate bent his knees, and knelt on the cold ground with a bang, "That unfortunate son, I will definitely kill him when I go back." ”

"What are you doing here?" Xuanyuan Luo's face was surprised, "I can't wait for a subordinate of the Fifth Highness, you are like this, but you have tormented me to wait." ”

"I ......" he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Xuanyuan Luo stepped past him and said, "Go in and have a look." ”

"Yes." The county magistrate slowly got up from the ground with his hand support. His reputation is over.

Compared to the narrowness of the aisle, the inside was much more spacious, Xuanyuan Luo pushed open the wooden door in front of him, and bloody pictures crashed into his eyes.

Five or six little girls were draped in the outer robes of the guards, and it was evident that they were wearing nothing inside, revealing a blood-stained calf, with a cold iron chain around their necks, and sitting on a tattered mat with numb eyes.

The oldest of these girls looked to be no more than twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.

And Xiaocui was hugging a little girl at this time and crying bitterly.

"Muddy." Xuanyuan Luo squeezed out two words from between his teeth, "Go and get the key from that beast, don't let Madame come down, you know?" He was glad that he didn't let Xia Yao come down at that time, otherwise such a dirty scene wouldn't have dirty her eyes.

"Yes." Qinglu also felt sad for the scene in front of him, but some children who had not yet grown up had encountered such a cruel thing.

Especially the youngest of them, when he accosted her, the little girl's pretty little face was full of numbness, and when she opened her mouth, she could only cry 'ahhh

After a while, Qing Xi took the key and unlocked all the people who were locked up.

After being untied, the girl's eyes slowly brightened, and the eldest of them, a little girl, seemed to have not spoken for a long time, with a mouth, a hoarse voice, like an old carriage, and said intermittently: "It's still ...... Yes...... Person... Person...... Next...... Face. ”

"Where?" Qing Lu asked cautiously with a soft face.

The little girl was encouraged, and pointed with her thin arm to a corner not far away, "this ......" her arm was covered with scars, both old and new. Layer upon layer, the people who watch it can't bear it.

One of the guards walked up to the girl's finger and saw a very small pull ring, and he pulled it hard, lifting the lid of a square about a meter in diameter.
