87_87437The night was deep, but it was still drizzling like fog, mixed with gusts of wind. Although it is early spring, there is still a refreshing cold.

Guo Chengsi stretched his waist and strode out of the prison of the Criminal Department. The few Shuzhong bandits sent yesterday were really hard to bite, and it was a shame that he interrogated them for a day and a night, and he didn't ask about the whereabouts of the other three accomplices who had slipped through the net, as well as the places where the thieves were hidden. He had to put them back in custody for the time being, and think about another thing.

His personal guard Duan Ling led the horse and waited at the door, and the little servant Rong Xi hurriedly put on the hat to protect him from the rain, and put on a Qingling cloak, and said with sharp teeth: "Why is the prince so late today?" Madame is in the house, but I'm afraid I'm going to talk about it again. ”

"Since she entered this criminal department, has there been any day when she hasn't been talking about it?" Guo Chengsi turned over and got on the horse, flicked the whip, smiled heartily, and said, "Let's go!" ”

"Hey! The prince and so on. Rong Xi hurriedly climbed into another horse, and together with Duan Ling, followed behind Guo Chengsi, walking on the silent road, splashing all the way.

"Wait." Guo Chengsi suddenly raised his hand, and Rong Xi and Duan Ling immediately restrained the horse's chew and stopped the horse under his crotch. Rong Xi asked puzzledly: "Lord Shizi, what's wrong?" ”

Guo Chengsi narrowed his eyes dangerously, pointed the horsewhip in his hand to the side, and said, "Duan Ling, look over there." ”

Duan Ling looked up and saw that the door of the Shengping Inn, which had been open late, was closed at the moment, while the window of one of the guest rooms on the second floor was wide open, and a rope made of several clothes was thrown out of the window, almost hanging to the ground, and three figures were sneakily climbing down from the window.

Guo Chengsi took the horsewhip and gently tapped the leather boots on his legs, and said in a sinister manner: "I don't know where the thief came from, he actually committed a crime in front of the prison of the Criminal Department, and it is inevitable that we who eat imperial food are too disrespectful." Let's go over and take a look. ”

There was a cat-and-mouse excitement in his voice

Fortunately, Cardamom brought out all the poisons, drugs, and antidotes that he had developed in the past. Zhong Ziyuan found the antidote and ate it herself, and gave Cardamom and Qingdai one by one. At this moment, a faint fragrance slowly penetrated through the Korean paper pasted on the door frame, accompanied by a sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

Zhong Ziyuan's nerves tensed instantly, and she clearly heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the next room, as well as the strange cry with a Sichuan and Shu accent: "Fall, fall"

Qing Dai and Cardamom both looked at Zhong Ziyuan with nervous expressions, and Qing Dai's whole body trembled because of fear. Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, everyone's hearts rose to their throats. Zhong Ziyuan had an idea, and hurriedly made a gesture to the two of them, and then said in a vague accent: "Strange, why do you feel so dizzy." Then he snapped and fell. Indigo and Cardamom were clever, and they followed her example and fell to the ground.

The door squeaked and was pushed open, and although Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to open his eyes, he raised his ears high. She could hear the sound of terrible footsteps in her room, and she even felt the breeze sweep across her sideburns as her feet walked.

As the door was pushed open, the fragrance became more and more intense, and Zhong Ziyuan felt that his head was starting to become chaotic again. She couldn't help but be surprised: such a domineering drug, if she hadn't taken the antidote, she was afraid that she would have been unconscious a long time ago. She secretly bit the tip of her tongue, and with the pain that pierced her heart, her chaotic head gradually became clear.

I heard the strange voice say with satisfaction: "Yes, the eighth child's ecstasy-soul scattering is easy to use." Probably because this man had absolute confidence in the smoke he was holding, he didn't look closely, but after turning around to let the smell of smoke permeate the room, he closed the door and left. Because there were more than a dozen houses on this floor, and more than twenty guests lived, he didn't have time to go through them one by one.

Hearing the footsteps gradually disappearing, Zhong Ziyuan quietly got up. She shook her groggy head and pulled a flattened crystal sniffer out of her baggage. She opened the lid, put it under her nose and sniffed. A spicy, pungent smell rushed from the tip of her nose to her head, making her brain feel a lot more relaxed.

Qingdai and Cardamom were still lying quietly on the ground, and it seemed that they had not fully woken up, so Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly shook the sniffing bottle on the nose of the two. Qingdai was stimulated, and she couldn't help opening her mouth and wanted to sneeze, but fortunately, Zhong Ziyuan was quick and covered her mouth, so that she didn't let her sneeze out.

She whispered in Qingdai's ear: "Don't make a noise, the gangsters are still wandering around the second floor and haven't gone far." ”

Qing Dai blinked, nodded hurriedly, and signaled that she already knew, and Zhong Ziyuan let go of her.

The three of them remained in the room, listening carefully to the sound of footsteps in the hallway, from near to far, and then from far to near, until he came to his door again. Qingdai couldn't help but grasp the corner of Cardamom's clothes in fear, and a layer of cold sweat broke out in Cardamom's palm.

Zhong Ziyuan's eyes were fixed on the door, she held a silver needle tightly in her hand, and by the faint light, she could see the faint blue light flashing on the needle, which was obviously fed with poison.

Just when the three girls were nervous to the extreme, the footsteps did not stop at all, but walked straight in front of their door, and then staggered downstairs.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Zhong Ziyuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and whispered, "They shouldn't come up for the time being." But we can't sit still here, we have to find a way to escape. ”

She looked around the room and saw that all that was left but the door was the tightly closed window. When Cardamom saw this, she walked briskly, and she pushed the window open, and immediately the drizzle drifted in with the wind.

Cardamom probes look out. Quickly seeing the situation outside, she turned around and whispered: "Childe, outside is the backyard of the inn, and you can still see our family's carriage, and it is not too high to go down from here." ”

Zhong Ziyuan also stretched out his head and glanced at it a few times, and his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Even if they climbed out of this window, they were still within the confines of the inn, and they were not out of danger.

Cardamom said optimistically, "Anyway, it's better than us sitting in this room." ”

"Okay, let's get out of this room first." Zhong Ziyuan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

She also found several kinds of drugs, and hid the poison on her body for self-defense. I also found a few pieces of clothes that were thicker and not easy to tear and damage, knotted them, and connected them into ropes to escape. One end was tied to the leg of the table, and the other was thrown out.

Cardamom tugged at the rope hard, feeling very strong, and should be able to bear the weight of her own people, she whispered to Zhong Ziyuan: "Childe, the rope has been tied." ”

Qing Dai looked down a few times in a panic, and then whispered with a bitter face: "Gong, Gongzi, we still have so many burdens, where do we still have hands to grab the rope?" ”

"You're stupid." Zhong Ziyuan bent his finger and knocked on her head, and said angrily: "Throw down those that won't break first, and those that will break will be carried on your back, or it's done." ”

"Yes!" The three of them immediately picked out the packages containing clothes, shoes and socks and quietly threw them down, and then carried the packages containing bottles, cans, silver tickets and jewelry behind their backs.

Cardamom is young, and her skills are flexible, first she grabbed the rope and slipped down, and then Qingdai, after the two of them landed safely, they both raised their little faces and waited for the last Zhong Ziyuan with blank eyes.

Zhong Ziyuan grabbed the rope and slowly climbed down, as soon as her feet stepped on the ground, she felt that the collar around her neck was grabbed, and a coquettish voice suddenly sounded in her ears: "Okay, see where you are running away this time?" Zhong Ziyuan was shocked, and subconsciously waved his sleeves to the back. A faint scent of orchids immediately diffused.

"Huh!" There was an exclamation from behind, and Zhong Ziyuan immediately felt a loosening of his neck, obviously the person behind him had been forced back by the drug he had swung out. Zhong Ziyuan turned around suddenly, but saw a woman in red standing opposite with a smile.

The woman had long hair and a shawl, silky eyes, red lips, and healthy honey-colored skin. Obviously her skin is not fair enough, but she has to wear a bright red dress. The clothes are very thin and tightly wrapped, making her waist extraordinarily small, as well as her bulging breasts, extraordinarily plump buttocks, and slender thighs, all revealing the ultimate temptation.

When the woman in red saw Zhong Ziyuan's appearance, her eyes couldn't help but light up. She pursed her red lips slightly, patting her towering chest. With that soft voice, he said coquettishly: "What a ruthless Tan Lang, he is so ruthless to the slave family." Obviously, it was the first time they met, and her tone was as familiar as if the two had met thousands of times.

Seeing this, Cardamom immediately blocked in front of Zhong Ziyuan and glared fiercely at the woman in red. Although Qing Dai was timid, she also stood by Zhong Ziyuan's side and did not flinch.

Zhong Ziyuan smiled reluctantly, and arched her hand and said: "I really didn't know that the girl was going to do something big here tonight, I and the domestic servant just passed by unintentionally, and asked the girl to let us go, I am willing to give all the money on my body." After saying that, she took off the package on her body and handed it to the woman in red
