Mrs. Xu carried the basket and walked out the same way. The dark tunnel was like a monster's mouth, ready to swallow her up at any time.
But thinking of her son, Mrs. Xu gained endless courage, as if she would sacrifice a cat for a child for the sake of her son.
Maternal love is great. For the sake of her children, a mother can do anything, regardless of right or wrong. If she just does it, she will pay the price.
Thinking about her son all the way, Mrs. Xu felt less afraid.
Don't you know that Yuan Hua and others following her were shocked. They didn't know when there was an extra tunnel in the palace.
Finally, the tunnel came to the end. Yuanhua estimated the distance. With two palaces as big as two palaces, this work was not something that could be completed in a day or two. Even though it was just a tunnel that could barely be walked with a bent waist, it was not a small task.
project.
Mrs. Xu walked out of the tunnel, and Yuanhua and the others were waiting inside to see who was plotting against their family.
In an abandoned yard, two men were waiting anxiously, both with deer-like heads and rat-like eyes, and vulgar looks. When they saw Mrs. Xu, she was overjoyed: "Did you succeed?"
Mrs. Xu protected the basket behind her back and said as planned: "It's done, where is the silver I want?"
The man took out a stack of banknotes and said, "Five thousand taels is enough for your family to travel far and wide. Go now. Your son is already waiting for you on the road."
"Really?"
"Why are you lying to me? Give me the child quickly, there is no time."
Yuanhua sighed. Mrs. Xu was too naive. People had already said that her son was dead. Perhaps she was unwilling to accept this fact, so she didn't have any doubts.
Mrs. Xu subconsciously looked back and saw that the basket had been taken away. When the man opened it, his pupils tightened. Why was it something he gave away?
He immediately understood that he had been tricked, so he threw him on the ground and tried to run, but his feet were caught by the whip and he fell to the ground.
Yuanhua came out with others, "You dare to scheme against me, Prince Jing's house, and steal my nephew. You are really worthy of death. Who instigated you?"
The guards came forward, removed the jaws, and took out the poison from the teeth. These people were also dead soldiers.
Who dares to plot against Prince Jing's palace? How can he be an ordinary person?
Suddenly, there was a burst of sound in the air, and the two of them screamed. They were hit by several arrows and fell to the ground. They were killed and silenced. Even Mrs. Xu gave her one and followed her son on the road. The whole family gathered together.
The guards had already caught up with him. Yuanhua stamped his feet angrily and was actually silenced under his own eyes. These people were too arrogant.
It was already dark at this time, so she did not catch up, but checked the house. Whose house was this?
Yuanhua walked towards the front yard. The mansion adjacent to Prince Jing's mansion was not an ordinary mansion. Slaves gradually appeared, busy making breakfast and waiting for their master to wake up. They had no idea what was happening in the backyard.
Yuanhua didn't show up. Listening to their conversation, it turned out to be a declining Earl's Mansion. The mansion passed down from ancestors could no longer make ends meet. The backyard was deserted, and only a few people living in the front yard entered the courtyard. Yuanhua didn't even recognize it.
She left through the back door and sent people to keep an eye on the uncle's residence. Soon, Dali Temple was dispatched and directly surrounded the residence.
Cheng Anbo is now the head of the family, the eldest son Liu Changxing. The old Cheng Anbo lost all his family property by eating, drinking and having fun. Liu Changxing wanted to revitalize the uncle's house, but he was unable to save it. He could only watch the uncle's house become lonely day by day.
Fortunately, he met the noble man and got a job at the Ministry of Industry, and his life was better. He thought about the noble man's arrangements today and went to attend the appointment after breakfast. Unexpectedly, he was blocked at home by Dali Temple.
"What are you doing? My Liu family belongs to the Earl's Palace. Our ancestors fought with Taizu. You are breaking into a private house. I will go to the palace and sue you!"
The visitors were Wen Chen and Feng Junan, but Yuanhua did not show up. After this incident, she became much calmer. The biggest improvement was that she did not go out to confront the Liu family by herself.
Wen Chen was still scared when he thought of Yuanhua's words. His nephew was almost stolen away by this family. If they succeeded, how would the eldest sister survive?
Thinking that his eldest sister was heartbroken, Wen Chen couldn't contain his anger and slapped him to the ground: "How dare you stop Dali Temple from handling the case? If you have anything to say, go to the Dali Temple prison and tell them all. Take them all away."
."
The officers felt that Wen Chen's behavior was too rough. How could they explain it to their superiors when they got home?
Wen Chen said: "I have spoken to the Lord of the Temple. The Liu family has committed a major case. You have approved it, so just do it."
"yes."
Since the Master of the Temple knew about it, they didn't ask any questions. There was no benefit in knowing more. It might be a secret case in the palace.
The whole Liu family was arrested, and even the servants who were sweeping the floor were not spared. This alarmed the people in this street. What did the Liu family commit?
No one noticed that the vendors on the street packed up their stalls and left, looking panicked.
As soon as Zhao Qingyuan arrived at the Yamen, Wen Chen brought such a big case. The Liu family dared to attack the princess's child. He couldn't be in such a hurry even if he wanted to die!
Wen Chen said in a low voice: "The Liu family dug a tunnel in their backyard to reach the palace. This matter must be kept secret. With this tunnel, the Liu family is so cruel that it is justifiable to kill them."
Okay, if you dig a tunnel into someone's house, you won't be sending money there, right?
Zhao Qingyuan was shocked and doubtful: "You interrogate carefully and don't miss a single detail. I will handle it from the emperor's side. Is Miss Wen okay?"
He has a good relationship with Yuan Rui, and he also admires Wen Yao, not to mention that Wen Chen is now his capable subordinate, and Wen Yao's affairs are his business.
"Thank you for your concern, sir. My eldest sister and the child are both very well. It is very important at this time, and there is also the midwife sent by the Queen. Sir, who is so insidious to harm my eldest sister?"
Zhao Qingyuan said: "Your eldest sister is so jealous now. Many people have motives, including Princess Dajin. However, that tunnel could not have been dug by people from Dajin. It should be someone from here."
Wen Chen was right when he thought about it. The Dajin people didn't have that much ability. Assassination was okay. But for planning such a big plan, the Dajin people didn't have the patience.
"But it's not a problem for them to stay in our capital all the time. Who knows what else might happen? I think it's better to let them go so that we don't have to keep an eye on them.
And that princess, aren't you satisfied after sleeping with two princes? Is it possible that even the emperor won't let her go?"
"Ahem, shut up. Don't criticize the emperor. If you say less, trouble will come from your mouth. I will go into the palace to clean up the stall for you. You hurry up to interrogate and collect evidence."
Wen Chen chuckled: "Thank you, sir. You treat me better than my own father. I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Mr. Zhao laughed angrily: "No, with a good son like you, I'm afraid I won't live long enough for you to be filial. Your father will beat you to death when he hears these words."
Wen Chen thought of his good-for-nothing father, who seemed to have no ability other than giving birth to children. No, Aunt Wen in the house seemed to be pregnant with a breeding pig again. Damn, is it a breeding pig?
