Chapter 265: Harboring Filth
Lin Pianran continued, "After we've dealt with the bodies, you stay in the dark. A group of men in black have gone to dinner and will probably be back soon. There are about seven or eight of them. You must take care of them all and don't let any of them escape."
"Yes, Miss, I will definitely see to it." Jingyu nodded repeatedly.
Soon, Huanxue and Tianzhu also gradually woke up.
Next were Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai. They all returned to normal, even their martial arts skills were restored.
Several people worked together to bandage the wounds of the injured secret guards, and the speed suddenly increased a lot.
In just a quarter of an hour, all their injuries were bandaged.
Lin Pianran poured out cup after cup of spiritual spring water from the water bag and gave each person a small cup.
After everything was done, Jingyu had already taken care of all the men in black guarding the door, and the bodies had been thrown into the cell where the bodies were piled.
Lin Pianran looked at the four secret guards who were seriously injured and felt a little uncomfortable.
He whispered, "I remember the way out of the cave very clearly. I'll draw a map for you. Just follow the markings on the map and you'll be out of the cave soon."
"Also, if two secret guards escort you out, it should be safe."
"After you get out, find a way to contact our people at Puhua Temple. Once you've made contact, wait outside and be ready for orders."
"When the time is right, we will attack from both inside and outside and wipe out all the men in black here."
After hearing Lin Pianran's words, Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai were both ready to try.
They were very satisfied with the arrangement.
The eyes of the few secret guards who had not been injured also showed excitement, and they were ready to join in the fight.
Lin Pianran paused, then continued, "This cave is so secluded, and it's near the royal temple. I always feel it's a little unusual. Moreover, I also discovered today that some monks are extremely greedy and have no clear mind."
"All of this shows that there are some tricks hidden in this royal temple, and it may even be a harbor of filth and dirt. There are some shameful things hidden in the dark that we cannot see."
"I decided to explore this cave thoroughly. Perhaps this is another base of the fox-masked man. I might find many unexpected gains and discoveries here."
"If this is also the base of the fox masked man, then we must find a way to destroy it and even find the real culprit behind it."
Shen Xuanzhi and Shen Mubai looked at each other and both agreed.
Especially Shen Xuanzhi, as the famous Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he wants to dig out the murderer behind the scenes, which will become the biggest challenge of his career.
Otherwise, he would often feel guilty and unworthy of the official robe he wore.
Young people are full of vigor and ambition, and always want to achieve something and eliminate harm for the people.
In the past few years, there have been many cases of missing young girls near the capital, and the mastermind behind them has never been found, leaving many cases unsolved.
He had made up his mind long ago that he must peel off the layers of white fog, find out what was going on, and get to the bottom of it.
Now is a great opportunity.
He would naturally agree with it.
In addition, the unbridled and reckless tone of those men in black, showing that they completely ignored him, the new upstart in the court, also made him feel the strength of this force.
At the same time, he also felt that this force might be capable of committing all kinds of evil. Perhaps they not only abducted young girls, but also those cases of officials being assassinated without reason were all done by them and were closely related to them.
All of these need to be investigated bit by bit.
After sending away the injured secret guards, Lin Pianran counted and found that there were still sixteen people left.
Lin Pianran, Jingyu, Huanxue, Tianzhu and the Shen brothers, plus ten secret guards.
Lin Pianran first quietly returned their weapons and personal belongings in the cell.
As for the fact that their weapons were in the cell, no one asked any questions.
Anyway, they all vaguely sensed that their county lady had some magical powers. Such a big secret would naturally not be told to others. It would be useless to ask, so it would be better not to ask.
Everyone just needs to know it in their hearts.
At the same time, they also firmly kept the secret for Lin Pianran.
In addition, Jingyu also found several automatic crossbows among the weapons. According to Lin Pianran's request, he gave them to Shen Xuanzhi, Chen Mubai, Jingyu, Huanxue and Tianzhu respectively.
Lin Pianran divided the sixteen of them into two teams, one team consisting of Shen Xuanzhi, Jingyu, Lin Pianran and five secret guards.
The other team was led by Shen Mubai.
Finally, Lin Pianran had his men strip off the clothes of the dozen or so men in black who had been killed, and put them on themselves. After some disguise, they looked extremely similar to the men in black.
Only then did the troops split into two groups and begin the action.
Lin Pianran and his team immediately chose the road closest to their cell, and several people rushed in.
The path was not long and we soon reached the end. Inside was what looked like a large prison cell.
At the door of the big cell, there were also several men in black, walking back and forth.
Shen Xuanzhi and Jingyu took the lead and leaped over at lightning speed, killing all the men in black.
Shen Xuanzhi took out a bunch of keys from one of the men in black and walked into the small cell inside.
However, when he saw the people inside, Shen Xuanzhi was still shocked.
The people imprisoned there turned out to be a team of Dali Temple officers and soldiers who went out to investigate the missing girl case more than two or three months ago.
Each of them was tortured to the point of being covered in wounds, emaciated, and breathing very weakly...
Shen Xuanzhi rushed to the prison door and called softly, "Cheng Xiaowu, are you okay?"
The man turned his head, and the moment he saw Shen Xuanzhi, tears rolled down his cheeks.
He quickly ran to the prison door and looked at Shen Xuanzhi eagerly.
"Master, is that you? Why are you here?"
Shen Xuanzhi nodded deeply, his voice choked with emotion.
"Well, I finally found you. Are you okay?"
"Fortunately, I was able to see my master one last time before I died. Even if I die, I can rest in peace."
"Why die? Don't worry, we can rescue you this time. We will also kill all those who hurt you and bring them to justice!"
