reborn princess

Chapter 552
When he came outside, Xuan Chen asked in a low voice: "How is it? What did you find out?"

Wu Ming said in a low voice: "Three people came, two of them were the two people who just litigated in the court, and the other one was unknown. That person gave them a money bag and left. Follow up, Shizi and Miss Shen might as well go to the yamen and wait."

Xuan Chen thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright, since that's the case!"

The two went to the yamen. When they got here, the trial of the case had already been completed, and the people who watched the excitement had all left.

When the guard at the gate saw the two of them coming, he hurried in to report. Just after the notification was over, the two of them had already entered the back hall.

The prince had already taken off his official robe and changed into casual clothes. He was sitting drinking tea with the grand master Bailichen when he saw the three of them coming in. You have to come find me."

Xuan Chen said in a deep voice: "You still have time to chat here, do you know if you are exposed?"

"Did it fall?" The prince didn't know why. "What is exposed?"

Bailichen was surprised, "Brother Chen, what's going on? Explain it clearly!"

Xuan Chen pulled Shen Weilan to sit down together, and then said: "Let me ask you, how did that case end just now?"

The prince thought for a while and replied: "Today's case is that someone came to report to the official that someone else stole the purse, but both of them are named Zhang San, and the purse is exactly the same, with his own name embroidered on it, and the case is under trial. At that time, a person said that he picked up a purse and handed it to the Yamen, which happened to belong to the person who lost the purse, so the case was closed."

Xuan Chen said: "They are a group, and they have colluded. Today is also a coincidence, Lan'er has sharp eyes, and found that one of the people watching the excitement in the crowd is Wen Mo's family."

"What?" The prince didn't say anything, Bailichen stood up abruptly. "really?"

"Fourth uncle, how dare I talk nonsense about such an important matter? Lan'er and I have been following him just now, because we were afraid that he would recognize me and it would be inconvenient to show up, so we sent the hidden guards to investigate and found out Three people went to him to collect the money, two of them were the two who complained, and the other one must have picked up the money bag." Xuan Chen also looked a little anxious. "This matter has to be planned early, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case."

Bailichen didn't even have time to say anything, he ran out in a hurry, opened the door and said, "Come here!"

A guard trotted over, "Master, what are your orders?"

Originally, the servants in the yamen were only allowed to come in and out at the front, and they were generally not allowed to enter the back hall. The people in the back hall were all brought by the prince from the capital, and they were all very trustworthy.

"Go to Zhenbei General's Mansion right away and tell Baili Xiao to send a team of sharp archers to keep an eye on the garrison mansion. Once there are pigeons flying out of the garrison mansion, shoot them down immediately. Then, let Bai Lixiao send a team The confidant soldiers blocked all the roads leading to the capital, and said they found the traces of horse thieves, and they should be strictly interrogated. If they found the people in the prime minister's mansion, they would send people to follow them secretly, find a suitable place to attack, and arrest them all. .Didn’t Heifengzhai be wiped out a while ago? Let people lock up all the members of the Wen family in Heifengzhai!” After a series of orders, Bailichen heaved a sigh of relief.

Listening to his series of orders, Shen Weilan couldn't help secretly admiring, the prince's tutor is indeed resourceful and ruthless, this is the rhythm of detaining Mrs. Wen Er!
Realizing this, she was secretly happy. If Mrs. Wen Er could really be detained, then Zhuo Ge'er's news would be delayed and sent to the capital, and her troubles would be less.

Of course, the people who deployed the garrison on Bailichen's side didn't know.

After hearing Zhen Fu's report, Mrs. Wen Er couldn't help being shocked. She never thought that the dignified prince would come to such a place to be the county magistrate.

Zhen Fu asked cautiously: "Second Madam, this is a good opportunity, the third master certainly doesn't know, should you inform the third master and let the third master wait for the opportunity to do it?"

"Don't spread this matter for now, let me think about it." Mrs. Wen waved her hand, thinking in her heart that Wen Yong was so rude to her, if she told Wen Yong at this time, it would be Wen Yong who made the last contribution. It is Wen Yong who has the face in front of the imperial concubine and the second prince, and if he puts in a lot of effort, he might not be able to achieve anything.

If the crown prince really came here to serve as the magistrate, then he probably won’t leave for a while. Why don’t she send someone to ride a fast horse back to the capital to deliver a letter to her husband? room.

Thinking of this, she said to Zhen Fu with a serious expression: "You must not say anything about this matter, you ride a fast horse back to the capital, tell the matter to the second master, and ask the second master to deal with it. Such a big matter, I am not a woman People can do what they want.”

Zhen Fu nodded, knowing that the matter was of great importance, "The slave will leave immediately."

Mrs. Wen waved her hand, "Go, bring enough money, and must pass the news to the second master as soon as possible, and we will leave soon, so it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Ying'er..." She called Aunt Cui by her boudoir name . "Order to let everyone pack up. We will set off tomorrow. The river has not been sealed yet. We can still catch up with the waterway when we leave. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to go by land."

"Yes!" Aunt Cui agreed, and retreated with Zhen Fu.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Wen Er and his party set off on the road.

Wen Rurou, Wen Yong's youngest daughter, is also accompanying her. Wen Rurou is just 12 years old now, and she is old enough to study in the Royal Women's Academy.

It stands to reason that at such a young age, her daughter is really worried about going out alone, but she is even more worried about Wen Yong, for fear that Wen Yong will revert to his old ways when he is not at home.

Mrs. Wen San is well aware of Wen Yong's stinking problem, no matter how strict she is now, Wen Yong still flirts with the maids taking the opportunity.

Mrs. Wen San specially sent a team of soldiers to escort her daughter along the way, and told her daughter's maids to serve her carefully.

Although Mrs. Wen Er was her cousin and the child's second aunt, she was still worried that Mrs. Wen Er would treat her daughter harshly, so she brought her daughter a lot of money, and then sent her daughter on the road.

Mrs. Wen's group of more than a dozen carriages finally hit the road. After leaving the city, they traveled all the way south. Not long after leaving the city, they walked for more than 20 miles and saw a checkpoint. After getting Lu Yin, he questioned him carefully and then let him go.

Mrs. Wen Er and her party continued to move forward and came to a Rujia inn for accommodation.

That night, after the group had finished eating and drinking, in the dead of night, a group of black-clothed masked men silently moved the drugged master and servant of the Wen family out of the inn. Go to Heifeng Village.

Heifengzhai was a little far from here, and they couldn't make it in half the night, so the group arrived in the evening the next day, and stopped along the way to give the Wen family another drug.

"Let me out! You bastards! Do you know who I am? I am the prime minister's wife! I am the first-rank prime minister's wife! If you catch me, I will not end well!" When she woke up in the dungeon in Heifengzhai, she was startled and angry, but no one came to her when she shouted.

"Second Madam, don't bark, no one will take care of us." A slightly decadent voice sounded from the left side of Wen Er Madam.

Mrs. Wen Er turned around to look, and couldn't help being frightened out of her wits. It turned out that the person who spoke was Zhen Fu.

There are a total of three cells here, and there are a total of more than a hundred of them, including men and women. The men are locked in two of the cells, and the women are locked in one cell.

Zhen Fu was imprisoned in the cell to the left of Mrs. Wen Er. Zhen Fu looked miserable right now, with a bruised nose and a swollen face. There was no good spot on his face. It was obvious that he had been beaten.

"Zhen Fu, why were you arrested too?" She asked in a trembling voice, and finally realized that the person who arrested her was after her.

"I don't know what's going on. Not long after I left the city, I encountered a checkpoint. They said they were catching thieves. After checking my directions, they arrested me." Zhen Fu said with a mournful face. "I explained to them that I was from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they insisted that I was a fake and tore up my road guide."

Mrs. Wen'er couldn't help but look ashamed, but until now, she didn't know that it was she who inquired about the prince's whereabouts was exposed, and she thought it was the ghost of Youran's mother and daughter.

She thought that it was because Youran's mother and daughter were worried that her husband would find out about Brother Zhuo'er, and he would send someone to snatch the child, so they ordered people to arrest them all.

Thinking of this, she hated her teeth so much that she wanted to peel off the skin of the mother and daughter and eat their flesh raw to relieve her hatred!

But she didn't think about it, Su Youran's mother and daughter were just two ordinary women, how could they have such great ability to mobilize so many people?
Suddenly, someone opened the door of the dungeon, and three men with masks on their faces came in from the outside. They carried a basket in their hands, and in the basket was a basket of corn noodles with stick noodles.

The other man was carrying a wooden barrel with water in it.

The four of them threw baskets and water jars over the railing of a dungeon, and went out again. After a while, they brought in another basket of cornbread and water jars, and placed a basket of cornbread and earthen jars in front of the door of each cell.

Mrs. Wen Er hurriedly said: "Who are you guys? Why are you arresting us?"

The four men didn't even look at them, put their things down and left without saying a word.

These people who were locked in the prison had long been hungry and crazy, and they didn't know how to be picky. When they saw the food, they rushed over and stretched out their hands from the railing to grab corn buns from the basket.

Mrs. Wen Er sat on the straw without moving, watching the chaotic scene in front of her eyes, only hating in her heart, as if she didn't feel hungry.
