Chapter 140 Missing
Princess Yu who came over also saw it, her face turned pale, and she said with trembling lips:
"Why, why isn't it here? Could it be that he went back alone..."

Her voice was getting smaller and smaller, almost crying.The rest of the ladies also turned pale with fright,

Thinking of the two women who appeared out of nowhere, they finally realized something belatedly.

Cui Lingling glanced at Gongfang, picked up a jade pendant that had been broken in two from the corner, put it together, and asked several people in a deep voice: "Have you ever seen this jade?"

Several people glanced at it, and Princess Yu said hesitantly: "I seem to have seen it in the other courtyard of the West Palace. It belongs to... Second Prince Beidi..."

Her voice froze, thinking of what happened on the hunting ground before, her face couldn't help but turn paler.

Cui Lingling was lucky, and said in a low voice: "Quickly go and inform the Empress Dowager to seal the Huguo Temple."

……

At the same time, at a remote back door of Huguo Temple, a hunched monk slowly walked forward pushing a cart filled with swill.

The defending guards frowned in disgust, and let people leave without careful inspection.

Two playful young monks passed by, glanced at the hunchbacked monk, and one of them asked curiously:
"Why did Shande go out so early today, isn't it usually getting dark?"

"I don't know, maybe a nobleman came to the temple today."

The young novice who spoke at first always felt that something was wrong, but after a while he slapped his forehead and realized that the cart did not seem to belong to their monastery.

……

At this time, Feng Lisheng was heading towards Suzhou with a pair of people.

According to the report of the sergeant who came back from Suzhou, a group of bandits gathered in Pingjiang County three years ago, and the county magistrate sent there did not do anything, so that the officials and bandits colluded.

It made the people resentful, and because the daughter of a rich family was raped by the bandits, the government wholeheartedly protected the bandits.

In the anger of the wealthy households, many young and middle-aged men in the city became officials.

Feng Wu, who was following behind, asked the general of the sound test: "Although Pingjiang County is a lower county, there is a lot of bandit collusion. It is impossible for the governor of Suzhou to not know about it? Why did it come out when something happened?"

The general did not speak, but glanced at His Royal Highness King Su's condensed expression, secretly thinking that after this incident, the Lord of Suzhou Prefecture might not even think about it.

Just at this time, a carrier pigeon flew over not far away.

Feng Lisheng took off the bamboo tube, and after reading it, he frowned.

Feng Wu asked: "What happened?"

Feng Lisheng handed him the letter paper: "The news from Yang Dayang's second biography said that Cheng Geer had disappeared."

Feng Wu asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Cheng Geer knew something in advance?"

On Cheng Geer's way back home, Feng Lisheng sent Yang Dayang and Er Yang to find an opportunity to kill each other.

Feng Lisheng was also thinking about it, he didn't think Yi Chenger's mind could actively guess what he was going to do, unless someone specially instructed him.

What is the purpose of the other party?For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He ordered a personal soldier, and asked the other party to return to Beijing to see if the princess was well.

Until half an hour later, a goshawk flew overhead,

When Feng Wu heard this familiar voice, his heart trembled.
This eagle is called Lightning, and it was captured and domesticated by Feng Lisheng with great effort.Things that are not urgent are usually not dispatched easily.

Feng Lisheng clenched the reins even more, and the goshawk stood still in front of Feng Lisheng, flapped its shiny wings, and called softly at him.

Feng Lisheng froze his hands to take off the bamboo tube hanging around his neck, after reading it, his expression changed, he didn't care about anything, he wanted to go back without saying a word.The lieutenant quickly grabbed him:

"Your Highness, you can't go back. Now the people in Pingjiang County are full of grievances. Only you can suppress them."

If it's just a riot, then the Suzhou garrison is enough to deal with it.But now it has aroused public grievances, and the people have lost trust in the government and the court.Therefore, force shock is still secondary, and the most important thing is to have someone with a high enough status to shake the place and appease the people.

Feng Lisheng quickly wrote a letter with his own seal on it,

"Give this letter to Mr. Suzhou Prefecture, and I will let the prince pass when I return to Beijing."

No one is more suitable than the prince of a country, and the prince's character is too soft after all, so he has to sharpen it.

When he arrived at Daohuguo Temple in haste, nearly two hours had passed since Shen Mingjiao disappeared.

The entire Huguo Temple has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army.

With a sullen face, Feng Lisheng kicked down the door holding his breath.He rode directly towards the main hall and galloped away.

The queen and several concubines and wives are all there, and the rituals for the queen mother have long since stopped.All the monks in the entire temple are guarded.

Seeing the dusty Feng Lisheng, the queen sighed and said: "It's the emperor's wife who is negligent and didn't take good care of my siblings."

Hearing these words, Feng Lisheng let go of the breath he had been holding in his heart all this time, until now, with the facts in front of him, he had no choice but to believe that Shen Mingjiao had really disappeared.

There was a momentary blank in his mind, thinking of what might happen to Shen Mingjiao, his heart felt like a knife.

He forced himself to calm down, the most important thing now is to find Shen Mingjiao.

He looked at the queen. "Can the sister-in-law tell me everything before and after the disappearance of the princess."
