The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 220 Unrecognizable
"Yes, squad leader!"

Zeng Shuisheng, who was poking his head at the door of the secret room, came over obediently to take care of the elderly. He has rich experience and felt that Bantou Yu had found the right usage for him.

Seriously taking good care of Old Master Sheng who was frightened and angry, the thick-skinned Zeng Shuisheng only felt that the scratching and kicking of Old Master Sheng was no different from tickling, "Old Master, don't worry, the brothers in the yamen will not take you every needle and thread." .”

"..."

Is this a one-liner problem?
When Chen Yuan Yuquan was chatting with Old Master Sheng, she kept observing his expression.

When Yu Quan mentioned the whistleblower and the missing beggar, Mrs. Sheng's eyes dodged unnaturally.

His eyes were looking around, but he deliberately avoided the picture of the tiger descending the mountain. This caught Chen Yuan's attention, so she went to check if there was anything tricky behind the picture.

The secret room was found, but she didn't dare to be the first to enter the secret room.

She has never been on the front line, who knows what kind of mechanism the ancients would use in the secret room, she is just an assistant, and it is better to leave it to professional people to play forward.

"Oh my god, there's a dead man here!"

"It's not dead, it's still alive."

"Why does she look so scary?"

Hearing the movement in the secret room, Chen Yuan walked in.

The oil lamp in the secret room had already been lit, and a small dim light could not illuminate the entire secret room at all.

The three yamen servants huddled together, looking in horror at the figure on the floor who was hugging his knees and huddled up in the corner of the wall.

Perhaps because of discomfort, Ruan Cui didn't wear a coat.

The short sleeves fully exposed the scars on her body. Because the burns did not receive timely anti-inflammatory treatment, many places were festered, red and swollen, resulting in the terrible appearance I see now.

Her hair should have been burned back then, and the hair follicles were damaged, but not the hair follicles on the entire scalp were damaged, so there were a few strands of pitiful long hair growing here and there on her uneven skull.

A pair of frightened eyes looked at the person who suddenly broke into the secret room through the strands of hair. She was terrified by the slightest movement after many years of captivity.

Sweeping the iron chains on her feet, Chen Yuan's nose soured, and she said softly, "Ruan Cui, it was De who asked me to rescue you."

Hearing this, Ruan Cui finally raised her head.

It was a burned face beyond recognition, uneven, with only a small part of the nose and ears burned away, only two holes in the nose, the mouth was askew, and there were no eyelashes left.

Such a terrifying face scared the three big men into panic, "Chen...Chen Yuzuo, she...she...is she human?"

"Don't be afraid, she's just burned." Ordinary people would be afraid when they suddenly saw a burnt person, and Chen Yuan didn't scold them.

Because of the words of the three, Ruan Cui buried her head in her knees again.

"Ruan Cui, Decai is still waiting for you, don't be afraid, the Yamen will give you justice."

Chen Yuan walked up to her and patted her on the back lightly.

This action made Ruan Cui tremble like a frightened deer, but she didn't struggle violently.

Seeing this, Chen Yuan took out a coat that she had prepared before departure from her arms, and put it on Ruan Cui's head, "We will take you out, and I will tell them to unlock the chain later, don't be afraid!"

Ruan Cui nodded.

"Brother Ma, Brother Ang, Ah Niu, please go to Mrs. Sheng to get the key. If he doesn't give you the key, he will find an ax to break open the chain. In addition, I have to trouble you to find a door panel and a thin quilt. I'll take Ruan Cui back to the Yamen in a while."

"Okay, Chen Yuzuo, just wait a moment, we will be right back."

Chen Yuzuo was not afraid, and the servants also recovered from the shock of the terrifying appearance. Seeing that the disfigured Ruan Cui had no ability to hurt Chen Yuzuo, the three left the secret room.

There was a voice of inquiry from outside.

After a while, Sun A Niu came in angrily with a key and handed it to Chen Yuan, "It is said that Mrs. Sheng is a living Bodhisattva, especially in recent years, he has donated and built many stone bridges. Such a person who does good deeds and accumulates virtue, I never expected How dare you do such a heartless thing!"

When opening the shackles, Chen Yuan found that Ruan Cui's toes were also burned off. She couldn't imagine what kind of pain Ruan Cui had suffered back then.

"Yeah, knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts, no matter how many good deeds he does, he can't make up for the murder he committed."

No matter how old Mrs. Sheng donated bridges and roads, he was not making up for the dead and injured. No matter how much money he gave to Ruan Cui and Zhaodi, they would not be able to get back their youthful beauty and precious lives.

Ruan Cui wiped away her tears excitedly, and burst into tears.

Chen Yuan didn't know how to comfort her, no amount of words would be better than bringing the person who brought her here to justice earlier.

Fortunately, Ma Li and Wu Qiang were nimble, and he didn't know where the door panel was removed, so he rushed back in time.

Several people worked together to put Ruan Cui'an on the door panel, and covered her body with a thin quilt, and the coat that Chen Yuan brought wrapped her head, leaving a gap for her to breathe.

Leaving the secret room, Old Master Sheng disappeared. Presumably, the moment Ruan Cui was found, Yu Quan believed that what De Cai said was true, and he had already convicted Old Master Sheng in his heart. According to the magistrate's order, he was arrested. up.

The people watching the excitement outside the Sheng Mansion waited for a long time, and finally saw something rare.

One in front of the other, the two were carried out by the yamen servants lying on the door panel.

The person in front was covered with a thin quilt, although he covered his face with his hands, everyone could guess his identity from his thin figure.

The person in the back was covered so tightly that no inch of skin could be seen.

If it weren't for the ups and downs in the chests of both of them, the onlookers would have thought that two more people had died in Sheng's residence.

"Old Master Sheng is usually either a carriage or a sedan chair. How did he end up being treated like being lifted by the door?"

"The yamen is too unmannered. I asked Mrs. Sheng to go to the yamen to assist in handling the case, but he used the door panel to carry people."

"That's right, Mrs. Sheng is a very good man, not to mention how many good things he has done for us, he is so old, no matter how anxious the yamen is, he must treat the elderly well, please bring a sedan chair, it will not delay things!"

"Hey~, this doesn't look like please, I see, Mrs. Sheng has gotten into trouble."

"How to say?"

"I went to see the coffin opening and autopsy. 17 years ago, two people were burned to death in the Sheng family's old house. Chen Yuzuo said that it wasn't Sheng Dongyue who died!"

"Ah? How could this be? Chen Yuzuo is not talking nonsense, right? People who were burnt to death on the spot are beyond recognition. After so many years, only bones are left. Chen Yuzuo can still recognize people's appearance by looking at the bones?"

"Listen to me in detail..."

A group of spectators followed behind the buttocks of the yamen servant, while listening to the insider's explanation, they stretched their heads and brains to take a look at the person lying on the door panel.

But the yamen servant carried it steadily without any jolts, and Chen Yuan was wrapped up tightly, trying not to let the spectators catch a glimpse of Ruan Cui.

There was no fuss or panic cry, and Ruan Cui wasn't too emotionally frightened.

As for the old man Sheng who was about to be buried, listening to everyone's discussion, his face blushed impatiently, and he wished he could die immediately and leave this world where he would not be safe at the end of the year.

　Scars from burns are really scary...

　　I went to the surgical repair hospital before and saw that there was a little boy whose nose and ears were burned off in a fire. I didn’t dare to make redundant expressions at that time, for fear of hurting him.

　　The better thing is that the little boy has a pretty good mentality, and now the surgical repair and plastic surgery technology is better. If you have money, you can repair it slowly. There is still hope. I remember a male star who repaired it step by step after burns. , but it must have been painful at first.

　　In ancient times, Ruan Cui couldn't repair the skin graft.
