After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 253 It’s useless to talk to a madman

In the dungeon, the girl who was originally unconscious has been awakened by the pain.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a young girl with a sinister expression standing in front of her, holding a whip in her hand and whipping her hard.

She was startled.

When the opponent's whip came again, he quickly rolled to the side and avoided the opponent's whip.

Qin Yue'er's whip failed, and he was startled, but then he became even more angry.

"Bitch, who told you to hide?" She shouted coldly with a cold face, and with all her strength, she whipped the girl again.

The girl quickly got up to hide.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to give up, and looked like he was going to kill himself, he was shocked and said angrily: "Who are you, and why are you whipping me?"

"You have no right to know who I am." Qin Yue'er sneered contemptuously. When he saw her beautiful face, he felt it was an eyesore and wanted to destroy it.

When the girl heard this, she felt that she had met a madman.

It was useless to talk to the madman, so he didn't say anything more, but looked at the open cell door.

Although she didn't know where this place was, she didn't want to sit still and wait for death.

When the other party swung the whip again, she did not hide. Instead, she stepped forward and received a whip. Then when Qin Yue'er swung the whip again, she quickly rushed out of the cell door.

The servants waiting outside the prison were all shocked by Qin Yue'er's crazy behavior. They didn't understand why she wanted to beat the girl. They were a little timid and didn't dare to look further.

So when the girl rushed out of the cell door, she didn't react.

When Qin Yue'er saw someone running away, she said angrily: "Are you dead? Why don't you hurry up and chase them?"

The servants reacted and hurriedly chased after him.

But what they didn't expect was that the girl looked thin but could run very well.

After a while, he asked her to slip out of the dungeon.

The girl was panting as she ran, but she didn't dare to stop. She didn't know where she was and who was catching her.

After running out of the dungeon, she saw a large garden outside, and her heart sank.

Where is the exit?
Hearing the footsteps chasing behind her, she panicked and ran forward quickly.

Dali Temple.

Recently, an official in the DPRK died unexpectedly, and Dali Temple was responsible for the case.

After many days of investigation, we finally got some clues. Xia Houxi and a group of officials below are discussing the matter.

At this moment, his personal guard Chen Fei hurried in and said something in his ear.

Xia Houxi frowned and looked at the guard, "Where is the person?"

"Just outside." Chen Fei replied.

Xia Houxi spoke to several officials, then hurried out with his guards.

As soon as he went out, an old nun knelt down, her voice full of panic and self-blame, "Sir, Miss Lien is missing."

Xia Houxi had already heard what Chen Fei said just now, but he was worried about the crowd, so he held back. Now when he heard what the old nanny said again, his face suddenly darkened and he gritted his teeth, "What do you mean missing?"

The old nanny lowered her head and replied: "Miss Lian was bored in the yard today and wanted to go outside for a walk. The master had previously ordered that if Miss Lian wanted to go out for a walk, she did not need to be restrained, so the old slave let her go. Cuixiang went out with Miss Lian.

But at noon, Cuixiang ran back alone and said that Miss Lian had been kidnapped..."

Xia Houxi clenched his fists, his voice filled with anger, "Being kidnapped?"

The old mama nodded, "That's what Cuixiang said. At that time, she and Miss Lian were going to buy some needlework, but they were knocked unconscious from behind. When she woke up, Miss Lian was gone."

When Xia Houxi heard this, he thought of something and said in a calm tone, "Cuixiang saw with her own eyes that Lian Qimeng was kidnapped?"

"Cuixiang fainted at the time and didn't see it with her own eyes. This is what she guessed. After all, Miss Lian is so beautiful, I'm afraid someone has evil intentions..." As the old lady spoke, her voice gradually became softer, "Old slave I was afraid that something might happen to Miss Lian, so I had to report it to the young master and ask him to make a decision." Xia Houxi was silent for a moment, then suddenly walked out.

That stinky girl Lian Qimeng had better not escape on her own!
"Master, where are you going?" Chen Fei followed.

"Go to Qimeng Garden first." Xia Houxi ordered, he wanted to ask Cuixiang personally about the situation.

……

Lu Mansion.

It was already afternoon after Lu Xingzhi finished handling his official duties.

He pressed his eyebrows and went to Meixiangyuan.

As soon as she arrived outside the house, she heard Qiao Jingjing's voice coming from inside. Her voice was mellow, like a storyteller in a teahouse.

The corners of his lips curled up, and he stood listening for a while. Just as he was about to enter the room, Donglai came over in a hurry, "Sir, Lin Jiu said, Xiahou Shaoqing gathered people and searched for people everywhere. I heard that it was Dali Temple." An important prisoner escaped. Xiahou Shaoqing also sent Guard Chen to lend us some men."

Lu Xingzhi paused, "Did the prisoner escape?"

"Yes." Dong Lai nodded, "I heard from Lin Jiu that Xiahou Shaoqing sent out a large number of troops, with formations digging three feet into the ground. I don't know who the prisoner is, so that Xiahou Shaoqing is so anxious?"

Lu Xingzhi looked thoughtful.

The prisoner has escaped. You can just ask the government officials to help find him. Why do you need to send out servants? This was not enough, they even had to borrow manpower from him.

"Sir, do you want to lend out some manpower?" Dong Lai asked for instructions.

Just as Lu Xingzhi was about to say something, Qiao Jingjing walked out.

"What happened?"

Lu Xingzhijun's face softened and he patted her shoulder, "It's okay. You can continue telling the story to both of us. I'll go out for a while."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him suspiciously and nodded, "Yeah."

Lu Xingzhi quickly followed Dong Lai.

Lu Shuangshuang walked out of the house and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with brother?"

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "I don't know either."

……

When Lu Xingzhi found Xia Houxi, he was outside a brothel.

He was completely different from his usual cynical demeanor, and now his expression was frighteningly serious.

Even the brothel madams who had seen the wind and waves turned pale and trembled when they saw him like this, "Sir, sir, we really don't have the person you mentioned in Zhaoyue Tower."

Xia Houxi patiently raised his hand and pressed the chime, then ordered: "Go in and search."

"Yes." The subordinates who followed him rushed into Zhaoyue Tower very quickly.

The madam was shocked and frightened, so she stepped aside and did not dare to say anything more.

Lu Xingzhi immediately stepped forward and frowned: "Xiahou, what's going on?"

When Xia Houxi saw him, he did not answer. Instead, he hurriedly glanced behind him. Seeing Lin Jiuyi and all the guards coming, he said, "I have lost a person. I will lend you your help to help find him."

Lu Xingzhi paused and said, "It's okay to lend it to you, but who are you looking for? Does he have a portrait?"

Xia Houxi then handed him a portrait.

Lu Xingzhi took it and took a look at it. He felt relieved and handed it to Lin Jiu.

Lin Jiu took it and took a look, her eyes widened in shock, "This is not that practice..."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him, and he stopped talking in time.

"Lin Jiu, you and Chongxi, take the people to look for them separately." Lu Xingzhi ordered.
