Lu Yihan was really panicked. She had lost her usual vicious look. She sat there in panic, muttering, "If my brother knew about this, I would be dead. What should I do? What should I do?"
The patrol soldier stepped forward to sniff the beggar's breath, then turned to look at the other person behind him. "He's dead."
At this moment, several patrolling soldiers looked at Lu Yihan who was wrapping herself tightly in a quilt.
"Take it away."
When the two men stepped forward and were about to touch Lu Yihan, they heard Lu Yihan shout angrily: "Get out, get out."
Finally, the three patrol soldiers worked together to escort Lu Yihan out.
At the princess's mansion, Wang Liang found Zhang Lu, and learned that Zhang Lu and others had fallen asleep last night, and Lu Yihan was not found in the princess's mansion. She was missing.
Lu Mubai was a little surprised after hearing Wang Liang's report. "Lu Yihan didn't need to knock Zhang Lu unconscious and send me back to the mansion. Did she offend someone and get captured? But why did that person send me back to the mansion?"
Lu Mubai felt a little puzzled. "Go out and find where Lu Yihan is."
"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to investigate, and there should be results soon."
Lu Mubai nodded in satisfaction. He thought for a moment and continued, "Let's check if there are any people with great martial arts skills in the capital recently."
"yes."
"Who is hiding in the capital?"
All of this filled Lu Mubai's mind with doubts, leaving him puzzled.
Half an hour later, Wang Liang ran into Lu Mubai's yard in a panic. "Your Highness, I found out that the princess is in the Dali Temple."
"What? What is she doing in the Dali Temple?"
Wang Liang had no choice but to tell Lu Mubai what happened this morning.
"The temple was taken away by beggars... No, she wouldn't go looking for beggars. She must have been murdered. Could it be that Shang Yuanshan discovered what happened yesterday? No, if they did, why did they send me back to the mansion? They shouldn't have thrown Lu Yihan and me into the temple together. This would ruin our reputations. Who did Lu Yihan offend?"
Lu Mubai had a terrible headache at the moment, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Lu Mubai: "Have any experts come to Beijing recently?"
Wang Liang nodded: "I just received news that the flower-picking thief Nuo Xin appeared in the capital these two days."
"A flower thief?" Lu Mubai tapped the table with his fingers, thinking about the possibility of the matter.
"Go check Nuoxin's recent whereabouts, and then go to the Dali Temple to see if her identity has not been completely exposed, then bring her out."
"Yes~"
Lu Mubai couldn't figure out why he was sent back home for no apparent reason.
In the Dali Temple, Liu Quan heard about the temple raiding case and asked about the situation: "That girl has been silent?"
"I heard from Aunt Wang that she seemed frightened."
"According to the description of the people, this girl was forced. The beggar wanted to hurt her, so she fought back. Don't be too serious with people, okay?"
Wang Sicheng: "Then I will have someone capture the other two beggars and find out why the girl appeared in the ruined temple, and then send her back."
"Well, go ahead."
"I'll take my leave." Wang Sicheng left the house and immediately ordered someone to capture the two beggars. He also found Aunt Wang in the backyard and asked her to go to the backyard to help deliver the clothes to the girl.
But just when Aunt Wang had given the girl a change of clothes and Wang Sicheng was sending someone to invite the girl out to testify.
The person disappeared into the room.
Wang Sicheng looked at the empty room and asked, "Why would a victim run away? Is there something else going on here?"
When Liu Quan heard about this, he was very suspicious that a girl could suddenly disappear.
But after questioning the testimonies given by the beggars and the onlookers, they understood what had happened.
The girl suddenly appeared in the dilapidated temple this morning, and then the three beggars discovered her and became malicious, which led to the following events.
Liu Quan: "This is most likely a young lady from some mansion. She was framed and thrown into a dilapidated temple. She must have run away because she didn't want to be disgraced."
"So, sir, what about this case?"
"If the beggar is sentenced, then don't pursue the matter for now. There's no need to ruin a girl's reputation."
"yes."
In the princess's mansion, Lu Yihan sat there blankly, and Lu Mubai looked at her scrutinizingly. "Don't you have anything to say?"
Lu Yihan looked at Lu Mubai with red eyes. "Uncle, what do you want me to say?"
Lu Mubai frowned and said, "You didn't think I sent you to the ruined temple, did you?"
Lu Yihan stared into Lu Mubai's eyes and said, "Uncle, don't think you don't know. You have already started to contact my people secretly. Some of them are already helping you. Aren't you going to abandon me?"
Lu Mubai felt a little guilty. He did want to use Lu Yihan, but he didn't do it. "Lu Yihan, there's no need for me to do this."
Lu Yihan stared at Lu Mubai and stopped talking.
This made Lu Mubai furious. "Okay, it's your right to think whatever you want." Lu Mubai slammed the door and left.
Lu Yihan was the only one left in the room: "Someone, prepare some water."
After a while, Lu Yihan soaked in the bathtub, and her mind slowly calmed down.
Until nighttime, screams of men were heard from the princess's mansion. One of the mansion's servants drove a carriage to the mass grave early the next morning and dropped off two bodies wrapped in white cloth.
In a few days, the matter of the ruined temple had long been forgotten by the people, and now the people in the capital are discussing tomorrow's imperial examination.
The busiest place was actually the gambling houses in the capital. They were packed with people. Many people went to the gambling houses to bet on who would be the number one scholar in this year's palace examination.
There are three popular candidates for the top spot, namely: Bai Ting from Luocheng, Ling Zhisong from Sucheng, and Shang Yanqing from Jingcheng.
"You said that during those years when Prince Shang was stupid, could he compare with the other two talented people?"
"I feel a little worried. Mr. Bai is a good poet and lyricist. Mr. Ling is no worse than the ten-year-old prodigy, Mr. Shang. Besides, Mr. Shang must have fallen behind during those years of stupidity."
"Yes, yes, your analysis is more accurate for me than for Master Ya Ling."
More and more people were placing bets, and a few small figures were standing outside the crowd. "They didn't even bet on my brother." Shang Yangyang stood with his hands on his hips angrily. "Let's go~"
Lu Zizhuo: "Yangyang, even the three of us can't beat them."
"Uh~" Shang Yangyang shook his head helplessly. "Table, what have you been thinking about all day? I'm going to place a bet on my big brother to win, not to fight."
"Hehe, I misunderstood."
Shang Yangyang and Yun Shu looked at each other, and the latter two squeezed into the crowd first.
"Yangyang, Yunshu, wait for me."
Soon the three little guys squeezed to the front.
Shang Yangyang directly took out ten silver notes worth one hundred taels and slapped them on the table.
The small hand and the silver note that were taken did not attract the attention of those people. They were still discussing who would be the top scorer.
Shang Yangyang: "Ahem...."
No one noticed and she was ignored. Shang Yangyang's face was puffed up. She raised her hand holding the silver bill high, and then "pa~~~" her hand fell down.
