304: Natural or man-made?
Cheng Qing didn't ask Dong Jinqiu why he knew, as long as anyone who wasn't blind could see it.
If it weren't for the person he liked, the four princes would not be in such a hurry.
The officers and soldiers almost turned over the nearby hills, and Wu Er and the others sent by Cheng Qing to help never came back.
didn't catch the bandits, and Cheng Qing didn't dare to go down the mountain at night.
The Great Compassion Temple is often visited by nobles, and naturally a resting courtyard is prepared for the female dependents.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Qing had already fallen asleep, heard the movement and got dressed again.
It turned out that it was Takeji who came back with someone.
Wu Er had blood on his body, Cheng Qing glared at him, didn't he say that he wanted to protect himself first, this is stupid again.
Wu Er Han scratched his head, "Young Master, I won't dare next time, we rescued Miss Qiao...... No, we rescued the handmaidens of the Qiao family, and the bandits also asked us to cut down a few, leaving the handmaidens of the Qiao family and escaping into the woods. ”
Hey, Miss Qiao Si was rescued?
Wu Er didn't understand it, when he saved people, he was talking about Miss Qiao's family, how to save people and become Qiao's maidservants.
The guards of the Qiao family were all injured, but they were not as fast as Wu Er and the others.
The bandits fled in all directions when they entered the forest, and Wu Er chased them in the direction of the deep footprints of the horses' hooves, and the horses that kidnapped Miss Qiao took two people, and the hoof prints should be deeper.
They were right.
The deeper into the forest, the denser the vegetation became, and the bandits abandoned their horses halfway, so that Wu Er and the others could catch up.
The chase stopped, the bandits had been going around in circles with Wu Er and others, until it was dark, many torches were lit outside the mountains and forests, the bandits panicked, and they didn't beat Wu Er, so they threw Miss Qiao Si down and fled, Wu Er didn't dare to touch Miss Qiao Si, several people formed a circle with their backs to each other, protected Miss Qiao Si in the circle, blocked the cold wind in the mountains for Miss Qiao Si, and found pine branches and tree wax to make torches, and walked towards the place where there was fire outside the mountain.
Halfway through, I met the warrior monks of the Great Compassion Temple, and later met the four princes who led people to search the mountain.
Such heavenly nobles are not at all the ones that Wu Er and these families have the opportunity to come into contact with.
The noble man didn't ask anything, took off his cloak and wrapped it around Miss Qiao Si and took the person away.
Before leaving, he said that it was the maidservant of the Qiao family who was kidnapped, and Wu Er and the others were confused and couldn't figure out the situation.
However, no matter whether it was Miss Qiao's family or the maidservant of the Qiao family who was kidnapped, they all brought people back, because they chased them tightly, and the kidnappers didn't have time to do anything, at least when Wu Er and the others caught up with the bandits, Miss Qiao's clothes were intact, not like they had been bullied.
"Okay, you guys go down and re-wrap your wounds, and if you move well, we'll go down tomorrow morning!"
When Cheng Qing got up after a good night's sleep, only the Cheng family was left in the Great Compassion Temple. The soldiers sent by the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, the Qiao family and the four princes all left before dawn, and the Zhike monk handed Cheng Qing an envelope, which contained the handwritten letters of the four princes.
"Great grace will be rewarded!"
Alas!
Cheng Qing tucked the letter into his sleeve.
She didn't want this kind of kindness at all.
The ghost knows what the temperament of the four princes is, some people are grateful to repay their kindness, and some people want to destroy their mouths.
However, the four princes want to extinguish their mouths, and they are too excited to move the public, Mrs. Qiao and Miss Qiao San did not succeed, and everyone who shouted about Miss Qiao's abduction early knew that the four princes wanted to kill all the monks in the Great Compassion Temple - as a royal temple, there are thousands of monks in the Great Compassion Temple, and it is obviously unrealistic to extinguish the mouth.
Cheng Qing felt that his life was quite safe for the time being.
The monk in the temple looked sad.
If the Buddha can protect the believers, why can't he protect the Great Compassion Temple?
It's really a bad year!
The Liu family didn't sleep well all night, and when they heard Cheng Qing say that the lost maid of the Qiao family had been found, the Liu family breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
On the car back to the city, Cheng Sanniang couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice, "It's obviously Miss Qiao's family, why did she become a maidservant again?" ”
Cheng Erniang made a booing motion.
"I want everyone to know that Miss Qiao was kidnapped by the bandits, even if Wu Er and they can testify, the bandits don't have time to do anything to Miss Qiao, how can outsiders believe it?"
Even now, Miss Qiao's future is ruined, even if the four princes and the Qiao family find a fig leaf, it is still self-deception.
Erniang muttered, "This catastrophe has really hurt Miss Qiao." ”
Sanniang has always been bold, and when she heard the words, she couldn't help but lean towards Liu's side.
In this world, it is really harsh on women, and if one person ruins his reputation, it affects the reputation of the whole family.
……
Joe's House.
Qiao Yingzhen was sent back to Qiao's house by the fourth prince, but she only suffered a few abrasions, and her body was fine.
But the spirit has been devastated.
was taken away during the day and was found at night, and Qiao Yingzhen has been in the hands of bandits during this time, which is enough to make people think about it.
Although Wu Er and the others kept chasing the bandits, they didn't let the bandits have time to insult Qiao Yingzhen, but how could outsiders believe it?
Cheng Qing guessed correctly, the first thing the four princes thought about after finding Qiao Yingzhen was to shut up all those in the know forever.
Considering that there were too many people in the know, the fourth prince endured this impulse.
Mrs. Qiao regretted it very much, and suspected that those bandits were going for Cheng Qing.
"That person offended the eldest princess, but he made the real sister suffer, I think the bandits went to rob the Cheng family's daughter, my poor true sister!"
said that the unintentional listener had a heart, and the four princes also thought of the eldest princess at once.
Those bandits claimed to be trying to make money, but they didn't rob other pilgrims, they only stared at the daughters of the Qiao family.
Originally, he wanted to snatch Qiao Sanniang, but after being stopped, he captured Yingzhen's cousin.
Now that I think about it, Qiao Sanniang is more like a trick, those people went to Yingzhen's cousin from the beginning!
Yingzhen's cousin has a good temperament and never makes enemies with others, and the fourth prince can't think of anyone who would harm Yingzhen's cousin like this.
The fourth prince gritted his teeth with hatred, "Don't worry, aunt, I will go back to the palace to face the saint and ask my father to marry me and my cousin." ”
Mrs. Qiao, who was crying and wiping away her tears, paused, and looked at the eyes of the four princes with only relief.
"If the true sister knows His Highness's heart, she will be happy."
Mrs. Joe also had a lot of emotion.
thought that his daughter had lost this marriage, who would have thought that the fourth prince had a deep affection for Qiao Yingzhen, and he didn't mind that Qiao Yingzhen was kidnapped by bandits, and he was bent on marrying Qiao Yingzhen.
Mrs. Qiao believed that the four princes were not lying, and the four princes promised Qiao Yingzhen again through the door before returning to the palace.
In the house, Qiao Yingzhen lay on the bed and cried silently.
The cousin is really as responsible as she thought, but how can the royal family tolerate a daughter-in-law like her who has lost her honor?
- Her marriage to her cousin will come to naught after all.
Concubine Ning has been domineering, but she has a little sincere love for her niece Qiao Yingzhen, Qiao Yingzhen was taken captive, and she was rescued after a few hours, although Mrs. Qiao has seen that Qiao Yingzhen is still innocent, but she can't pull others to explain them one by one.
The news of this kind of thing spread quickly, and less than a day after Qiao Yingzhen was found, other mothers came to Concubine Ning's palace to inquire, and Concubine Ning didn't care:
"It's just that the Qiao family lost a servant, and I don't know who used false rumors to pull it on the female relatives of the Qiao family, so that the palace could find out the source, and they had to pull out their tongues!"
