Chapter 162: The Howling Wind
(This timeline takes place at the same time as Shaoyuan's outing in the previous chapter)
Hugh Tu Yamen, backyard
Xiao Yue walked to Shaoyuan's room with tea, there was no entourage around her, and as soon as she stepped out of the backyard, she saw four black-clothed people tiptoeing into Shaoyuan's room. www.biquge.info Seeing this, Xiaoyue immediately shouted in shock, "Someone, there's a thief!"
With a frightened cry, he walked through the corridor to the front hall, and Dugu Lin heard it at once, and then picked up Kang Longgong and went to the inner hall.
In the inner hall, the four black-clothed people were also startled by Xiao Yue's scream, and then ran out of the room again, seeing that Xiao Yue was already paralyzed on the ground in fright, but at this moment, the matter had been revealed, and they couldn't care so much about preparing to escape. At this time, Dugu Lin had already arrived, and shouted angrily, "Where did the villain come from, dare to trespass here", and Dugu Lin had already jumped up after speaking.
The four gangsters did not mean to entangle, the four of them were obviously well-trained, and immediately shot different types of hidden weapons at Dugu Lin from different directions, in all directions, without dead ends.
Seeing this, Dugu Lin immediately hit the hidden weapon in front of him, and at this time, the people of Xuanwu Hall also came up to share Dugu Lin's worries. The three of them struggled to clear away this dense and abnormal hidden weapon formation. But they were powerless to pursue, so they could only watch them go over the wall.
Dugu Lin said angrily, "Ah, cunning villain!"
And Xiao Yue had already regained her consciousness and immediately ran to the room, "Official!"
In the room, there was a mess, but there was no trace of Shaoyuan, Xiao Yue couldn't help shouting, "Dugu Hall Master, it's not good, the official is gone"
Dugu Lin looked surprised, and then ran to the room, "What's missing?
At this time, the prince and the princess and others also came, "Master Dugu, what happened?"
Dugu Lin turned around and arched his hand, "There are four gangsters who broke into the inner hall and were discovered by Xiaoyue girl, we arrived in time and fought with the gangsters for a short time, and when we came in, we found that Shaoyuan had disappeared"
Pan Jie looked at the layout in the room, "Although it is a mess, there is no trace of a fight, Dugu Hall Master, may I ask if those gangsters have done anything?"
At this time, Xiao Yue said, "The time for those four villains to come is actually very short, when I first found them, they had just arrived, and it was only a moment before the master of Dugu Hall came here."
Pan Jie continued to ask, "Did you hear the sound of fighting, or Brother Lu's voice?"
Satsuki thought about it for a moment and shook her head in disappointment, "No"
Dugu Lin then speculated, "No wonder they didn't have the idea of fighting us at all, and they fled, but there is no doubt that their target was Shaoyuan, but it was obvious that Shaoyuan was no longer there when they came, so Shaoyuan must have left earlier!
Listening to Dugu Lin's speculation, the prince's face changed suddenly, and then shouted, "Everyone listen to the order, pass the order to Long Xiangwei, leave more than ten people here, and at the same time notify the county government to immediately search for Senior Brother Lu's traces around the county seat!"
Xiaoyue knelt down and "His Royal Highness Prince Xie"
Dugu Lin arched his hand and said, "Prince, I will leave a few colleagues here to see if there are any clues, maybe there will be clues"
So this small yamen suddenly spread throughout the city, and the county magistrate also mobilized the masses to help search for Lu Shaoyuan, who was missing.
And inside the small yamen, Dugu Lin thought more, "The goal is Shaoyuan, yes, but what is special about Shaoyuan? Let these Liangzhou people want to do something to Shaoyuan again and again?" Walking in Shaoyuan's room, although the ground was full of different food, there was a bowl of things that stood still, Dugu Lin looked at it and recalled the name, "Haggis?"
Inexplicably, Dugu Lin had a very risky approach, he squatted on the ground, picked out the food that was not dirty, and put it in a bowl. Then he sat quietly and waited for the return of the two subordinates.
After a while, the two subordinates had already returned, "Dugu Hall Master, there are traces of turning the side door of the backyard, obviously someone has gone out from there, and there are no too obvious traces in other places"
Dugu Lin nodded, then pointed to the bowl of haggis and said, "You guys find someone to find out who is responsible for that bowl of haggis, and then do you have any antidote on your body?"
The two of them each took out a bottle of pills on their bodies, Dugu Lin nodded, picked up the bowl in his hand and said, "I'm going to test the poison of these foods one by one, it stands to reason that they are not poisonous, because they still came to check, I estimate that there are sweat pills and the like in it, and the sweat pills cannot be tested with silver needles, if I faint later, you have to block the news, and at the same time order Luoyang's comrades to send someone to come immediately, understand?"
The two of Xuanwutang gave up their hands and "we will listen to the order"
In this way, Dugu Lin began to eat vegetables without changing his face, each one was tried and he didn't dare to eat more, but I have to say that I eat it seriously now, in fact, it tastes really good, but it's a pity that Shaoyuan just turned them all over, and finally, when he tried the twentieth dish, Dugu Lin began to feel dizzy, his eyelids felt heavier and heavier, and his body felt lighter and lighter.
Dugu Lin then maintained the residual consciousness, quickly calculated which dish was probably caused by it, and finally snapped and pointed to the dish that might be problematic, and then fell asleep.
Seeing Dugu Lin like this, the two people immediately came up and shook Dugu Lin, "Hall Master, Hall Master!" Because it was not certain whether Dugu Lin was poisoned, the two of them immediately looked at Dugu Lin's eyeballs, the back of the ears, the tongue coating and other places where the poisoning would change significantly, but they found nothing, and then Dugu Lin made a slight snoring sound, and the two of them checked Dugu Lin's pulse, Dugu Lin was still normal at the moment, but he was unconscious, obviously the effect of sweat medicine, the two nodded to each other, quietly carried Dugu Lin to the room, let Dugu Lin sleep, and at the same time restored the scene of Shaoyuan's room.
The two of them were originally from the Xuanwu Hall, and they didn't participate much in the struggle between the rivers and lakes, but this time they saw the treachery of the struggle in the rivers and lakes for the first time, and even the hall master tried the poison himself, so he couldn't leak the news.
Time flies very quickly, and Hutu is not a big place, in fact, it is not a waste of time to rummage, and everyone has reported from the area they searched.
However, the news was disappointing 'nothing', and the prince's brows became tighter and tighter, after all, if the senior brother had three longs and two shorts in this place, they would be extremely guilty. And Xiao Yue was already panicking to the point of trance at this time, and she felt that the happiness she had finally grasped seemed to be lost again, and she was once again abandoned by God.
The prince was very irritable, so he asked, "Where is the master of the Dugu Hall, has he found any news?"
One by one, the people of the six doors arched their hands, "Prince, can my subordinates whisper to you about this?"
The prince nodded, so the six doors came to the prince's side, and the prince's expression was big when he heard it, "Then he became angry!" "There is such a thing!
At this time, a servant came to report, "His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a young man in Tsing Yi outside the door, who is back with a person on his back!"
The prince wondered, "Has he given his name?"
The official was relieved, and arched his hand, "His Royal Highness the Prince, he claims to be the high pet of Chaisang"
At this moment, not only the prince, but also the princess, Xiao Yue's eyes couldn't help but light up, "How did this person come?"
After a while, a confident and indifferent smile, a long shirt in Tsing Yi, was still the familiar Gao Chong, but at this moment, Gao Chong did not salute, but verbally greeted "See His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Princess"
The prince said, "Little Fourth Brother, why are you here, what is the thing attached to your back?"
Gao Pet smiled and said to Xiaoyue, "Miss Xiaoyue, don't cry, you have to cry, and it's not too late to cry when you see what you are carrying, can we move to the inner hall?"
In the inner hall, Gao Pet put down what he was carrying, and then opened the bag, and it was the sleeping Shaoyuan. Everyone shouted incredible!
The prince asked, "Little Fourth Brother, how did you find Shaoyuan, and why did you come?
Xiaoyue knelt down directly, "Thank you Gongzi Gao for bringing back the officials, great kindness, please accept Lu Xiaoyue's worship"
Gao Zhong hurriedly helped Xiaoyue up, "Such a big gift, I can't stand it, I can't stand it" After helping Xiaoyue, he said to the prince, "Prince, do you think that your behavior of going north is too wanton? Although there are Xuanwutang and Long Xiangwei, you can't be so hasty."
The crown prince was puzzled, and was about to be angry that the high pet blamed him, but then realized that he was afraid that his father sent the high favor, so he asked, "Father is angry?"
Gao Chong rolled his eyes violently, "Definitely, the emperor must be angry, prince, it is not a big problem for you to want to experience, but the princess is still young, how can she withstand such a toss?"
At this time, the princess timidly asked, "So you came to me? Or did your father send you here?"
Gao Zhong gave his hand to "The emperor's order cannot be violated, and it happened that he also had to escort the last batch of military rations to come, so he came here"
The prince breathed a sigh of relief and patted the princess, "Imperial sister, relax, if the father is willing to punish him, it will not be the fourth brother who is here, the fourth brother, you came just in time, something big happened here, and you just need your plan"
Gao Zhong also nodded, "I also noticed it, when I found Shaoyuan, he was alone in the west of the city, and he was abnormally weak, did something big happen?"
The prince nodded, and then talked about yesterday's events, when Gao Zhong heard it, his brows immediately furrowed tightly, and he just left a sentence, "I'll go to Wuwei first, and I'll go back tomorrow, protect Shaoyuan and Ah Lin, and I'll find them tomorrow!"
