When Luo Tan was found, he was in an almost abandoned alley in the west of Dingjing City, which was connected to several alleys, and the distance was crooked and difficult to find. It was still the city garrison at Azhi's end that someone was very familiar with the corners and corners of Dingjing City, and only then did he discover Luo Tan's whereabouts.

However, although Luo Tan was found, the situation did not make people feel easy. Luo Tan's waist was stabbed deeply near the abdomen, the wound was extremely deep, because it took another time to find her, and when she was sent back to the Shen Mansion, she was already dying.

Several doctors came in a row, and when they saw Luo Tan's injury, they just shook their heads again and again, only saying that they were weak and weak, and Shen Xin, who was angry, almost drew a knife. Or Luo Xueyan said: "Since they are all quacks, take Ashin's post and ask the people in the palace to rejuvenate the Tai Doctor and the Tai Hospital, who cures Tan'er, the Shen family will definitely be rewarded."

Shen Qiu ordered his subordinates to take Shen Xin's post to the palace to ask for a doctor, and everyone gathered in front of Luo Tan's bed, Luo Xueyan's eyes were red, and he said, "Who did it so ruthlessly?"

Luo Ling's eyes were also heavy, Luo Tan was his cousin, and now that life and death were unknown, he naturally felt uncomfortable. However, what is even more disturbing is that Luo Tan has been found, but there is no Shen Miao's whereabouts. Luo Tan still ended up like this, the other party was not merciful, he was obviously a vicious person, what would happen to Shen Miao, everyone couldn't think about it.

The soldiers of the Shen family searched non-stop in Dingjing City, but they didn't find the slightest clue. Those people seem to have disappeared out of thin air, the homes of ordinary people have been searched, and the streets and alleys have also been searched, and they can't search the mansions of those officials, even if they want to, they don't have the power.

There was a terrible silence in the room.

Shen Miao didn't know what was happening outside, and when she woke up, she didn't know what time it was.

Her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't move, Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes, but the other party forgot to blindfold her, maybe she felt that it was not necessary at all.

It was an empty secret room, with a desk, a cupboard, and a bed, and I don't know what it was. It looks like a secret room in someone's mansion. Shen Miao couldn't even move, so she had to watch quietly.

There was no sound outside, nothing could be heard. Shen Miao was knocked unconscious before, and I don't know what happened, I don't know if Luo Tan escaped or not, and if he brought it to Xie Jingxing.

Now Shen Xin is a character that everyone in Dingjing City should be afraid of, especially now that the envoys of Qin State and Da Liang have not left. Because Emperor Wenhui wanted to rely on Shen Xin, Shen Xin's status was also rising, and with the withdrawal of military power, ordinary people would not break ground on Shen Xin's head. And right now, someone is doing it so thoughtlessly, so bold and reckless, Shen Miao can guess who that person is with the back of her head, except for Princess Ming'an, who would use such a simple and rude method

But she didn't expect that Princess Ming'an would find a helper in Dingjing City so quickly. Obviously, Princess Ming'an will not do it herself, and even Huangfu Hao will not allow Princess Ming'an to use such stupid means. And the person who kidnapped her that day was able to mix in the Feng family's guards, knew something about the Feng family, and seemed to inquire very clearly about her and Feng Anning's itinerary, especially when she drove the carriage to quickly get rid of the Feng family's guards and walked into the deserted alley.

It is impossible for a self-righteous person like Princess Ming'an to be related to any small person, but if there are people with some official positions, how can they be willing to risk their lives and accompany Princess Ming'an to gamble on their future to kidnap Shen Miao. You must know that if Shen Xin finds out the details in the future, Shen Xin will definitely not give up. The officials of the Ming Qi Dynasty have always sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and such a dangerous thing would never be done.

Yes, it can only be those who have a certain official position, but are still extremely eager to climb higher, and even do not care about their own lives. Among the bureaucrats of Ming Qi, who is such a person, Shen Miao couldn't remember it for a while.

However, it is about Princess Ming'an, Shen Xin is inevitably involved in many things, I don't know why, Shen Miao's first thought is that if Xie Jingxing makes a move, he should be able to find her quickly. Think about it, Xie Jingxing also has a Fengxian pawnshop, the information of the Fengxian pawnshop is everywhere, if the person who kidnapped her is familiar with everything in Dingjing City, the Fengxian pawnshop has been doing business in Mingqi for so many years, and it is even more extensive, and there is no reason for defeat

Shen Miao had to hope that Xie Jingxing could find her as soon as possible.

She laboriously retracted her hand into her sleeve, the other party tied the rope very tightly, and Shen Miao almost wore out the skin of her wrist before reaching the hairpin in her sleeve.

That's what she made on purpose, since she was reborn, in order to avoid all kinds of accidents, she specially made hairpins. The tip of the hairpin is bent into a hook, and when it is a moment, it can probably be used to stab the opponent's eyes. This is a method she learned in the palace in her previous life, but now, it is also possible to sharpen the rope that binds her hands and feet.

Just wanted to do it, but heard the footsteps of people outside, Shen Miao's heart moved, and quickly stuffed the hairpin back into her sleeve, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, pretending that she was not awake.

The door was opened, and it seemed that someone had walked in from outside, and more than one person could hear the footsteps.

One of them said: "The Shen family is moving too much, if it goes on like this, when will it be able to transport people away?"

Another person replied: "What's the panic, now that the people are in our hands, it's not too late to avoid the limelight and send them out." ”

It's two people. Shen Miao thought in her heart, listening to the other party's tone, now she is only temporarily avoiding the limelight here, and she will still be sent out in the end. Where Princess Ming'an can send her is not a good place to go. A little relieved in my heart was that Shen Xin's movements were extremely fast, now that the whole city was prepared, with so many pairs of eyes staring, it would be a little difficult for the other party to send her out of the door, at least for a short period of time, she would not be in any danger.

It's just that Shen Miao was suspicious in her heart, how could the voices of these two people sound a little familiar, but she is pretending to be asleep right now, and she can't open her eyes to see.

As if sensing that a gaze fell on him, Shen Miao heard that someone hesitated a little and said, "Why hasn't she woken up yet, is it because her hands are heavy on the errands before." ”

"Second brother, when is this, do you still have the heart to care about whether she wakes up or not" Another said: "Don't worry, even if Shen Miao can't wake up, the princess will only be happy." You can also see the attitude of the princess, the more miserable Shen Miao is, the better, it doesn't matter if she is dead or alive. ”

"I'm just worried," the voice of the person named "Second Brother" was really a little worried: "If this matter is discovered by my father"

"Don't forget, you and I are my father's biological sons, and since the death of that little bastard, the only people Dad can rely on in the future are our two brothers. The man said: "Besides, the Xie family and the Shen family are not in the right place. Do you think that my father will denounce his own son for the sake of a wrong Shen family?"

Xie family, Xie family

Shen Miao's eyelashes in the corner trembled slightly, and she couldn't hide the shock in her heart.

She didn't expect that the person who kidnapped her turned out to be the Xie family, and that person called another person "Second Brother", there is no doubt that these two people are Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao

Shen Miao couldn't believe it in her heart, she never expected that since the alliance with Princess Ming'an was Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao, you must know that although Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao have always been dissatisfied with Xie Jingxing, but from the perspective of their previous life, they are also the same as their master Fu Xiuyi, they are good at forbearance, how could they be so arrogant in this life, and they did not hesitate to risk their lives, and even did the kidnapping.

Lin'an Hou Mansion is a big family of Ming Qi, that is, the concubine, that is also the son-in-law of many official families, once what Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao did is exposed, the entire Lin'an Hou Mansion will be destroyed, these two people are crazy

Xie Changwu took a sip and said, "Is this place safe?"

"Naturally safe. Xie Changchao said proudly: "Who would have thought that the young lady of the Shen family would hide in our mansion, and besides, it is in this mansion, and the people who know about this secret room are only you and me." Even if Shen Xin really gets His Majesty's message, and the blessing of his soul searches our mansion, I will keep it and let him return. ”

"That's good. Xie Changwu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This matter is a matter of success or failure, it is all a thought, and there must be no mistakes." As soon as the wind outside passed, he quickly sent people out. ”

Xie Changchao nodded, took out water and rice from the basket, walked to Shen Miao's side, and put the two bowls in front of Shen Miao.

"Wake her up, don't starve people to death if she eats now. Xie Changwu asked.

"No, I don't. Xie Changchao said: "Tie her, she doesn't have no mouth, don't you think, let a young lady learn to eat like a dog, Her Royal Highness the princess will be happy when she hears how much at that time, the princess is happy, and it is good to say a few kind words in front of Her Royal Highness for us." ”

Xie Changwu said: "It's okay, it's still the third brother who thinks thoughtfully." In that case, let's go out first, and save it is doubtful. With that, the two departed.

After there was no sound outside, Shen Miao slowly opened her eyes.

There were two bowls on the ground in front of him, one bowl of water and the other bowl. Fortunately, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao didn't take anything more disgusting for her to eat.

Shen Miao sighed in her heart.

It's not that she hasn't eaten, the leftovers in the cold palace are cold, and there are even rancid meals, so how can she survive in order to survive, human dignity can actually be put down temporarily, as long as there is a chance one day, and then revenge will come back.

It's just that Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao's words finally made her frown slowly.

This is actually the secret room of Lin'an Hou's Mansion, if this is the case, then Shen Xin is afraid that it will be difficult to find here. First, it is impossible to search a bureaucrat's mansion without the dictation of Emperor Wen Hui, unless solid evidence can be produced. But for no reason, the Xie brothers and Shen Miao have no intersection on weekdays, how could others think that they are the murderers of the kidnappers. Second, Shen Xin really got the message, as the Xie family brothers said, this secret room is very secret, and how can Shen Xin find it if Xie Ding doesn't know about it

The Xie family found another way, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and in this way, things are tricky.

Shen Miao looked at Qing Shui in front of her.

Can Xie Jingxing find it

On the other side, in the Shen Mansion, the imperial doctor in the palace finally came.

The person who came was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, if it weren't for the medical box he was carrying, it would be like a gentle prince and grandson, not like he came to save people, but like he came to enjoy the flowers.

This person is the young imperial doctor in the palace, Gao Yang.

Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin were suspicious. Although Gao Yang's medical skills in the palace are commendable, those who see patients in the palace are all concubines, and women always like some flashy things, no one can say that it may not be because Gao Yang is good-looking, and everyone praises him for his excellent medical skills. And for doctors, most people in the world have an idea, that is, the older they are, the more excellent their medical skills are, and as for the younger, they only know a little bit about the skin.

Shen Xin didn't expect that the imperial doctor invited by the palace turned out to be Gao Yang, and it was difficult to refuse for a while, if he invited again, he was afraid that it would delay a lot of time.

The legendary Imperial Doctor Gao was very aware of the world, and he was first welcomed in, and he put his head very well, walked to Luo Tan who was unconscious, and took Luo Tan's pulse.

Everyone looked at him with blazing eyes, and after a while, Gao Yang shook his head and sighed: "The breath is weak, the pulse is disordered, the wound is too deep to hurt the lungs, and a lot of blood has flowed, it is difficult." ”

Luo Xueyan said: "It's a quack doctor again, Qiu'er, you can take your father's post to ask for a doctor." ”

"Slow" Gao Yang said unhappily: "I just said that it was difficult, and I didn't say that the serious illness would not be cured, you invited me to come over for a visit, and then went to find other doctors, what does General Shen mean?"

"Can you really save Cousin Tan," Shen Qiu asked as he stepped forward.

"If you delay for a while, you won't be able to do anything about it. "Gao Yang Road.

"Good. Shen Xin said: "Don't suspect that you don't need to use suspicious people, I believe you." If Imperial Doctor Gao can cure Tan'er, the Shen family will definitely pay a lot of money."

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, the doctor's parents' hearts, there is no need for silver or anything." Miss Luo's life is on the verge of death, and she can't be delayed, so she must give Miss Luo an injection first, and please wait outside. ”

Luo Xueyan was still a little hesitant, but Shen Xin had already gone out, he went south and north, knowing that some capable people probably had some strange habits. And medical skills are the most afraid of rumors, thinking that Gao Yang is afraid of being looked at.

Shen Qiu and Luo Ling also followed closely behind Shen Xin, and when Luo Xueyan saw this, no matter how worried she was, she had to go out with her.

Only Gao Yang and Luo Tan, who was unconscious on the bed, were left in the room. Gao Yang put down his medical box, and muttered to himself as he opened it: "What does this have to do with me, I have become a contributor." ”

He took out a cloth bag and spread it out, but there were dozens of gold needles of different sizes and shapes.

Gao Yang said: "It's just a matter of pleasing Shen Miao, now even the family has to be pleased" He shook his head, stretched out his hand to untie Luo Tan's clothes, and said helplessly: "If you offend, you don't want to be in the next place, if you want to be responsible, go to the Rui Wang's mansion, the one wearing the mask is." ”

Time passed quickly, and two days passed in a row.

In the past two days, the senior physician in the palace has indeed demonstrated outstanding medical skills. When all the doctors were at a loss, Gao Yang applied two injections and let people feed Luo Tan decoction two bowls, Luo Tan's breath gradually stabilized, and his pulse was much stronger than before. When I changed the doctor, I also said that at least my life was saved.

Changing his previous skeptical attitude towards Gao Yang, Luo Xueyan treated Gao Yang as a guest, because he was afraid that Luo Tan's illness would recur halfway, and it happened that Gao Yang's needle application would be completed twice, so Luo Xueyan let Gao Yang live in the Shen Mansion now. It is convenient to check Luo Tan's condition every day.

Luo Tan's condition was stabilized, but Shen Miao's side had no good news for a long time.

Emperor Wen Hui was also furious when he learned of this, putting aside his prejudices against Shen Xin, someone kidnapped the daughters of the official family at the feet of the Son of Heaven, especially when the envoys of Qin and Daliang did not leave, wouldn't it be a clear indication that the thieves in Dingjing City were in rebellion, and the people could not live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, he acquiesced to Shen Xin's fanfare to find a woman.

can dig three feet into the ground in Dingjing City, but Shen Miao's whereabouts have not been found.

It was as if those people had disappeared into thin air. The people's homes have been checked door to door, and the next thing to check is to find only those official households in Dingjing, but the relationship between the official households is complicated, and one carelessness will cause great chaos, and Emperor Wen Hui refused.

As a result, there is a stalemate. The soldiers patrolled the streets all day long, and the security in Dingjing was much better, but for the Shen family, it was tantamount to cooking their hearts on fire, and they were even more anxious.

In the study room of Lin'an Hou's Mansion, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were talking.

Xie Changwu said: "The Shen family is staring too closely, we can't transport Shen Miao out at all." If this continues, Princess Ming'an is only afraid that she will be blamed. ”

In fact, Princess Ming'an was already angry. Although the Xie brothers successfully kidnapped Shen Miao, Princess Ming'an now hates Shen Miao to the core, and she can't wait to see Shen Miao fall into the land of fireworks today. Who knew that because Shen Xin made such a big battle outside, Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao did not dare to act rashly, Shen Miao had been locked up in the secret room of the Lin'an Hou Mansion, how could an anxious son like Princess Ming'an endure it. Someone was sent over early this morning to warn Xie Changwu that if Shen Miao was not sent out again, the previous transaction would be null and void.

In front is Shen Xin's subordinates going door-to-door with iron-blooded inventory, and in the back, Princess Ming'an is indiscriminately pressing step by step, no matter how shrewd Xie Changwu is, he can't help but feel a headache.

"Second brother, don't worry, Shen Xin is very good, let's naturally ensure that we are not exposed. Xie Changchao said.

"I'm not in a hurry, but the princess is urging hard. When Xie Changwu said this, he couldn't help but complain a little: "I don't want to think about such a time, if something goes wrong, she can't escape."

"Okay," Xie Changchao said: "What the princess wants to see is nothing more than Shen Miao being insulted, although we can't send Shen Miao out, we can send people in." Lin'an Hou Mansion recruited some rough subordinates and bought people from Mama, if you don't break the law, there is nothing suspicious."

Xie Changwu was stunned. That's right, what Princess Ming'an wants to see is nothing more than someone humiliating Shen Miao, now that the wind is tight outside, Shen Miao can't send it out, why can't you bring outsiders back and turn Shen Miao into a forbidden body, can it also satisfy Princess Ming'an's mentality

"Third brother, you. Xie Changwu said: "You have already thought of it"

"Dad has a family meeting today, you and I can't be absent at the same time, otherwise we will be suspected. Xie Changchao said: "Second brother, you go first, I will ask the housekeeper to buy a few to promote the completion of the subordinates, and then report to the princess." ”

In the past few days, because he has been paying attention to Shen Miao's affairs, Xie Ding has rarely arranged a few entertainments, and both of them have resigned, and it is too abnormal to go on like this. Xie Changwu said: "I know, third brother, you should also be more careful, don't leave a handle for others." ”

Xie Changchao responded. After Xie Changwu left, Xie Changchao took out the secret room key from his sleeve, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

Shen Miao stayed in the secret room for two days, although she didn't know how long the specific time was, she could guess from the number of times she delivered food, and her heart couldn't help but sink, it had been two days, since these people didn't move her, it showed that Shen Xin's movement was really big. But no one found here to make such a big move, which can only show that the Xie brothers' chips are correct, and it is difficult for anyone to think of coming here.

As he was thinking, he heard footsteps outside, and the door was pushed open.

In the dim light, the man was stunned for a moment when he looked at Shen Miao's gaze, and then smiled: "Every time you come here these days, you pretend to be asleep, why don't you pretend today?"

Xie Changchao was born a little similar to Xie Changwu, but compared to Xie Changwu's forbearance, he was more impetuous. At this moment, he also approached Shen Miao, looked at the rice of the clear water that had been half used by Shen Miao, "tsk" twice, and said regretfully: "Not only Her Royal Highness the Princess, in fact, I also want to see what Miss Qianjin looks like when she learns to eat with a dog, why don't you wait for me"

Shen Miao looked at him coldly.

For a moment, Shen Miao felt that she could understand why Xie Jingcheng hated these two cousins so much, just like Shen Qing and Shen Yue. Shen Qing and Shen Yue still had to hide their evil intentions, but Xie Changwu and Xie Changchao were villains who didn't even bother to hide their viciousness.

As if enraged by Shen Miao's contemptuous gaze, Xie Changchao pinched Shen Miao's chin violently, forcing her to stare at him. Xie Changchao said: "Miss Shen doesn't know yet, General Shen and Mrs. Shen are now looking for your whereabouts in Manding Capital, and there is a reward of 10,000 taels of gold, but unfortunately no one has claimed it yet." You say, "If I send you out, will you get ten thousand taels of gold?"

Shen Miao didn't say anything.

"It's a pity that I'm also doing things for people, so naturally I can't let you out so easily. Xie Changchao smiled again: "Don't worry, after today, your life will be a little better, Her Royal Highness the Princess originally planned to sell you into the inferior kiln, but unfortunately General Shen chased too fiercely, so we can only drive the kiln to the Hou Mansion." ”

Shen Miao's eyes sank slightly.

Seemingly extremely satisfied with Shen Miao's posture, Xie Changchao approached Shen Miao, almost whispering in a strange tone in her ear: "In the morning, I instructed the housekeeper to recruit a few big men to watch the yard, the kind of strong croppers, you say, after tonight, do you still have the strength to stare at me?"

Shen Miao lowered her eyes, but the hand in her sleeve secretly touched the hairpin with a hook. In the past two days, she has not been idle, and every day with an unbelievable perseverance, she slowly sharpens the ropes on her hands and feet with a hairpin. She estimated that at the moment, there was only a little bit of connection left on the ropes on her hands and feet, and she could break free with a slight struggle. When the time comes, she will use a hairpin to blind Xie Changchao's eyes.

The road in this world is all walked out by yourself, and the so-called dead end is just that you don't have the courage to give it a try.

Xie Changchao said: "But I don't want to give up such a delicate little beauty as you." The official concubine with fine skin and tender meat", he bit the word "concubine" heavily and smiled: "It's better to let me enjoy it first." ”

"Xie Jingxing's little bastard seemed to be a little unusual to you at the beginning. Xie Changchao smiled a little obscenely: "He is that person, I have been a brother with him for more than ten years, and I don't know the most, I am afraid that the relationship between you and him is not an ordinary relationship." What, is Miss Shen Xie Jingxing's concubine?"

Xie Changchao's words were so ugly that Shen Miao also showed a little anger. However, this anger seemed to please Xie Changchao, and he laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you are his concubine, for so many years, that little bastard has suppressed my two brothers in Lin'an Houfu for so many years, and today I slept with his woman, and it doesn't feel a loss." He smiled evilly: "Miss Shen should thank me, the first time you gave me such an official young master, it is much better than following those croppers rolling in the mud After me, you will know what real rudeness is"

He slammed Shen Miao's head, rubbing his thumb against Shen Miao's face, and a look of intoxication rose on his face, but it was disgusting.

Shen Miao's eyes were calm, but she was calculating when to poke the hairpin into Xie Changchao's eye, and how to stab his other eye again. Scrap his tricks and see how he runs amok

Xie Changchao's eyes were slightly sober, he suddenly lowered his face, looked at Shen Miao, and said, "Why aren't you afraid?"

Shen Miao looked at him.

Xie Changchao's face was calm, and he seemed to be very unhappy with her indifferent reaction, and said, "Why aren't you afraid that you are still waiting for someone to save you?"

Shen Miao said: "What do you want to do?"

Xie Changchao suddenly jumped forward, Shen Miao couldn't dodge, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden. At this moment, she couldn't care about anything else, her hands and feet broke free of the rope, but before she could reach out and take out the hairpin, Xie Changchao gnawed on her violently. He seemed to be crazy, and shouted nonsense: "Who are you waiting for to save you, is it the dead Xie Jingxing?"

Shen Miao easily touched the hairpin, Xie Changchao turned his back to her, buried his face in Shen Miao's neck and was about to tear off her clothes, Shen Miao's eyes were cold, and he raised his hand to stab him in the back

But he suddenly stopped when the afterglow swept to the door.

"Do you think Xie Jingxing will come to save you" Xie Changchao shouted: "That little bastard has been skinned and beheaded, and there are no dead bones left."

A calm, majestic voice with a restrained sense of anger sounded faintly in the empty secret room.

"Is it?"

------Off topic------

Brother Xie: You have to say it again

Please thank Changchao for the psychological shadow area ╮╯╰╭
