Chapter 66 The Mastermind Escapes
He grabbed the torch and planned to throw it at the carriage Chen Xue was riding in.
"Chiu——"
The cry of an eagle resounded through the sky, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet night and woke many people up.
The same thing happened to the Chen family's servants. After waking up, they saw Xiaoqing, who was standing on the carriage, swooping down.
Everyone's eyes blurred and they saw a man fall to the ground and scream.
The Chen family servants understood that someone was planning a sneak attack and immediately became anxious, "Hurry and protect the master and the mistress!"
The servants quickly surrounded the carriage where Chen Xue was, and then stared at the front vigilantly.
In front, Xiaoqing grabbed the man's arm with her sharp claws. The man screamed in pain and even hit Xiaoqing with his hands.
"Get out of here, you beast!"
Xiaoqing quickly flapped its wings to avoid the man's attack, and then its sharp claws attacked the man's face.
The man subconsciously used his other arm to cover his face, but was instantly scratched, and the blood dripping made him scream in pain again.
"brute!"
He cursed and didn't dare to stay any longer. After all, the mission had failed, and who would have thought that there was an eagle here.
Besides, all the servants of the Chen family have woken up, and he doesn't want to risk his life.
"Don't even think about running!"
How could the Chen family's servants let him get away? They quickly picked up the wooden sticks on the ground and used them as weapons to stop the man.
"Get out of here!"
The man roared angrily and rushed forward, trying to get out, but the servants of the Chen family hit him madly with wooden sticks, and Xiaoqing attacked him from time to time from behind, scratching his back until it was bloody.
"Help, help... The Chen family is killing people!"
Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the man suddenly thought of a clever idea and shouted.
The people nearby had already been woken up by Xiaoqing's crying, and now after hearing the man's words, they couldn't sleep even more.
The timid ones subconsciously stayed away from here, while the brave ones came over to join in the fun. The Zhang family was one of them.
"Stop! What are you doing!" Several yamen runners rushed over and yelled at the Chen family servants to stop them from taking action.
Xiaoqing was also very smart. When she saw the yamen runner appear with a knife, she knew he was not someone to be trifled with, so she stopped attacking.
The servants of the Chen family did the same and did not take any action.
Seeing this, the man quickly hid behind the yamen runner.
One of the Chen family's servants came out. His name was Chen Yi. He had been loyal to the Chen family since his grandfather's generation.
"My lords, this man was planning to attack our master, but we caught him red-handed..."
"Nonsense!" The man suddenly interrupted Chen Yi and started to argue, "It was obviously you who started it first. I was just passing by here, and who knew that the eagle you raised would suddenly attack me, and then you all attacked me together..."
Seeing the man distorting right and wrong, the Chen family servants were furious. "You are talking nonsense. Have you ever seen a passerby go into someone else's house?"
"If the lady's pet hadn't discovered it, you would have already set the fire!" Chen Yi had seen the torch under the man's feet before, so he knew what the man wanted to do and was naturally very angry.
"You just wanted to set fire to our carriage and harm our master. Now that we've caught you, you're trying to make trouble."
The man didn't expect to be discovered by Chen's servants. He was very panicked, but he refused to admit it.
"I said I was just passing by, what evidence do you have?"
Chen Da and others were suddenly speechless.
At this time, Yang Xiaohua suddenly came out and said, "I have a medicine. After taking it, you will tell the truth when others ask you. Do you dare to try it?"
Although she was young, she was very brave at this time. She was very grateful to Chen Xue for saving her, so she naturally remembered her kindness and now she was thinking of a way.
As for the medicine just mentioned, it was completely useless to her, but she knew that the man was just talking too hard and didn't dare to really try it.
Sure enough, the man panicked when he heard this. "Nonsense! There's no such medicine in the world!"
"Since you don't believe it, do you dare to give it a try?" Yang Xiaohua raised her little face and stared at the man.
The man's face was extremely grim. How could he dare to try? So he looked at the yamen runner next to him and winked at him. "Didn't we agree that I would help you guys and save me if things got bad? Help me now!"
Seeing this, the yamen runner also said, "Alright, let's end this matter here. We'll take him away. We'll find out if he wants to kill someone. If it's us, we won't let him go."
After saying this, the bailiff turned around and prepared to take the man away.
But the servants of the Chen family looked at each other and then at Chen Yi. Chen Yi gritted his teeth. Not to mention how the Chen family would lose face if they were allowed to take the man away like this, the most important thing was that what to do with the man was not up to them, but the master.
So, he and other servants of the Chen family stopped the yamen runners.
"no!"
"He wants to harm our master, how can we let him go so easily? At least we have to wait for our master's consent."
"Who do you think you are!" the yamen runner said disdainfully, "What qualifications do you have to stop us?"
"roll!"
Originally they wanted to make amends, so they tricked a prisoner into attacking the Chen family. However, who knew that he was such a loser that not only did he fail to accomplish his mission, he was also arrested.
How could they keep the person here? Wouldn't that be giving them an advantage?
So they were very angry and naturally were not polite to Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's face darkened, and after thinking about it, he returned to the carriage. After all, he had no say in this matter.
"master--"
He called out respectfully, but got no response. His heart sank, wondering if something had happened to the master.
After all, there was such a big commotion just now, but the master didn't come out.
However, he was worried that the master was just asleep and that was why he was not woken up.
While they were hesitating, the two yamen runners had already taken the man away. Seeing this, the other prisoners suddenly became anxious.
"Chen Yi, what should we do?"
Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let them leave. They are yamen runners after all. It's better not to offend them too much. It will be bad for the master."
And his mind was not here, but he was worried about Lord Chen. After thinking about it, he knocked on the carriage again, and his voice became a little louder.
"Master, something happened outside."
However, there was still no movement inside.
Chen Yi's face looked very ugly and he wanted to lift the curtain, but without the master's order, doing so would be an overstepping of his authority.
He had heard before that in other mansions, if one violated the rules, the punishment would be a fine at the very least and beating to death at the worst.
Never mind.
If Lord Chen is not in danger, I will beat him to death with a stick.
If there is danger and it is because of his own fault that the master gets into trouble, even his deceased father and grandfather will never forgive him in this life.
Just as he was about to lift the curtain, a figure rushed over from a distance.
The person who came was none other than Qian the yamen runner.
He was originally watching the show in the dark, but he noticed Chen Yi's actions and saw him shout something at the carriage, but got no answer.
Seeing that he wanted to lift the curtain but didn't dare, he immediately felt something was wrong. The first thing that came to Qian Yayi's mind was that Chen Yuan had run away.
So at this moment he didn't care about his previous oath or anything else. He rushed over quickly, pushed Chen Yi away, and then lifted the curtain.
As expected, there was no one in the carriage.
boom!
Qian Yayi was stunned as if he was struck by lightning.
Really ran away
The next second, he panicked. "Chen Yuan" was the "mastermind". If he ran away, the entire exile team might be beheaded.
He doesn't want to die!
"Someone come!"
He suddenly panicked and started shouting, and soon many yamen runners came running over.
Yamen runner Qian pointed at the Chen family's servants and shouted, "Keep an eye on them! Don't let them get away!"
Afterwards, he immediately ran to Captain Sun and said, "Captain, something bad has happened! The Chen family has run away!"
"What?"
