Chapter 160: Similar Flowers (8) Escape
Yunchen didn't expect things to develop to such a point, and in the face of Master Wu's questioning, he couldn't answer for a while. Although the second miss was not killed by him, due to the previous negligence, it led to the death of the second miss, no matter what, he has a certain responsibility for the death of the second miss.
In the dark of the night, the courtyard was red with torches, as if stained with a layer of blood.
The body of the second lady was lying on the floor of the boudoir, and no one could imagine that a girl who was fine at dinner before was now a cold corpse.
Master Wu hugged his dead daughter and cried non-stop, and the surrounding guards glared angrily at Yunchen and the maid, and someone shouted before: "Shangxian and the maid killed the second miss!" ”
It was this somewhat absurd sentence that made the attitude of the people around them change instantly, and each of them had their own guess in their minds, but the result was the same, they all felt that it was Yunchen and the maid who killed the second miss.
Yunchen didn't defend himself, and he didn't know what this group of subordinates were guarding thoughts.
He only felt that this was a misunderstanding, as long as he waited until Master Wu calmed down from his grief, he would be able to explain to him what had happened. As for the maid, she was innocent and didn't know anything, she was just frightened.
With this in mind, a night passed quietly.
Early the next morning, he didn't wait for Master Wu to appear, but waited for the people from the official mansion.
As soon as the people of the government came to Wufu, they arrested him and the maid who was frightened last night.
Yunchen didn't resist, he felt that he would definitely be able to explain clearly, so he followed them to the court.
Above the court, as soon as he knelt down, the prefect convicted the two of them.
"The Taoist priest of Yunchen colluded with the maid of Wufu inside and out, killed the people of Wufu five times, and covered up his own crimes with the theory of ghosts and gods, and was finally discovered by the second lady of the Wu family, who wanted to stop it, but was brutally killed by the two......"
Yunchen glared, wanting to open his mouth to justify, but was stopped, the prefect above didn't give him a chance to explain at all, and directly ordered, first give thirty boards, and then put him in prison, and ask for beheading!
When the maid heard these words, she was already paralyzed on the ground and could not move, and was pressed to the ground and began to move the board.
"No, sir, listen to me, that's not how it is!" Yunchen panicked and wanted to explain, but the official next to him directly gave him a board in his mouth, and immediately blood flowed, making him speechless, and then, he was pressed to the ground and began to smoke the board.
"Ahh The maid on the side screamed a few times at first, but in the end, because of the unbearable pain, she could only faint.
Yunchen gritted his teeth, and remembered in his heart the words he had told his master before going down the mountain.
When you encounter a monster, you must kill them all, and you must not leave your hands.
It was precisely because he hesitated at the time and listened to the words of the second lady that he fell into such a fate?
Why! I Yunchen does things above board, and I help them with kindness, why did I end up like this? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled.
Enduring the severe pain, he gritted his teeth and forcibly made himself unconscious, but he did not cut off his six senses, and after the end of the thirty boards, he heard the prefect say: "Take it to prison." ”
After leaving the court, on the way to the prison, Yunchen opened his eyes, endured the severe pain behind him, glanced around, there were only four officials, reached out and touched the two talismans in his sleeves that were close to the cuffs, pinched the magic trick in his hand, and hurriedly threw out the two talismans.
Rumble! Rumble!
In an instant, two dazzling flames flickered in front of the four officials, making them unable to open their eyes.
Yunchen took this opportunity to pick up the fainting maid, and disappeared.
When the four officials came back to their senses and saw that the two people they were holding were gone, they immediately panicked and hurriedly shouted, "The prisoner has escaped!" ”
Yunchen didn't dare to stay in Yangzhou City for more, although the pain behind him was unbearable, but he didn't feel anything about it when he closed the six senses, although doing so would cause great damage to the wound, but now in order to escape, there was no way.
As for the maid on his back, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he couldn't let go of it in his heart, originally this matter had nothing to do with her, it was because of himself that she was implicated, if he didn't take her away, there was only a dead end.
Running all the way, without pause, half a pillar of incense, he came to the city gate out of breath, looking at the streets and the officers and soldiers at the city gate, he did not pause, carried the maid on his back, and ran out next to a carriage.
The officers and soldiers did not feel strange when they saw them, and there were so many people coming in and out of the city gate every day, and there would always be some strange people.
Seeing that he had run out safely, Yunchen's steps slowed down and walked forward aimlessly.
His steps began to float, and the pain in his buttocks gradually came, making him unsteady on his feet, but now was not the time to stop, the officers and soldiers behind him were very likely to catch up, and he had to leave quickly.
Now he just wants to go back to the mountain, go back to the master's gate, and leave this place of right and wrong.
He didn't plan to take the waterway, after all, the waterway was not safe, so he could only run into the wilderness and deep in the mountains.
After about two hours, he was exhausted and could no longer support it, and the maid on his back woke up at this time, felt the tearing pain on his body, and asked weakly: "This is, where is it?" ”
Yunchen saw a deserted thatched house in front of him, and said as he walked, "I don't know either, but ...... We escaped......"
After he said this, he walked to the front of the thatched hut, closed his eyes, and fell directly to the ground.
The maid was also thrown out, screaming, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings in confusion, completely unclear where she was.
She looked at Yunchen lying on the ground, and the thatched hut with no one on the side, and wanted to pull him into the house, but as soon as her body moved, she collapsed to the ground in pain, where did she have any strength to pull him.
Thundered.
Thunder suddenly sounded in the gloomy sky, and the maid noticed that it was dark and gloomy today, and it was bound to rain.
Bang la blah.
The heavy rain fell instantly, and she was overwhelmed.
"No, you can't let the immortals get drenched in the rain."
She endured the severe pain, helped the thatched hut to her feet, and pulled the clouds and dust on the ground in the heavy rain, and entered the simple and deserted thatched hut, which contained a clay kang with some rough covering, and a few intact dishes, but they were all covered with dust.
Although the house is simple, the roof is not leaking, and it is pouring rain outside, except for some rain falling close to the windows, there is no water leaking anywhere else.
The maid was relieved, and although she didn't know what was going on, at least she was alive.
