Chapter 192: Bandits Massacre the Village
Yangzhou City.
As the sky grew darker, the exiled team had been detained in the dungeon. With the experience of the previous times, Shu Mingyuan decided not to put the people from Prince Xiao's Mansion in the dungeon again. Instead, he let them go wherever they wanted. The emperor was far away and no one could get in anyone's way.
At this moment, everyone in Prince Xiao's Mansion was staying at the Mingyue Restaurant. Ji Xiaohan was enjoying dinner with the little princess in the deserted restaurant lobby when he saw the secret guard hurriedly walk in, holding a tiny baby girl in his arms. The baby girl was wrapped in a familiar outfit. The man frowned and asked unhappily, "What's going on?"
If he was not mistaken, the clothes should be the thick coat that Zhao Kangping put on his wife that night. Then it was obvious who the child belonged to.
The secret guard bowed and said, "Master, our men defending Zhaojia Village were massacred by bandits. No one in the village was spared. When we got the news and rushed back, we only found this child hidden in the rice jar by the Zhao family."
The secret guards assigned to Zhaojia Village guarded for three consecutive days but did not see the group of men in black. They also secretly expanded the scope of their search for their whereabouts until they found their footprints and left.
But before they left, they were on guard, fearing that those people might come back. As it turned out, the group of people did not show up. Instead, a group of bandits appeared out of nowhere, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of atrocities. When they received the news and rushed over, all the people in the village were gone.
When they went to search Lao Zhao's house, they unexpectedly found a living baby girl. Thinking that the little princess cared a lot about this family, they took the baby girl back.
After hearing the secret guard's account, Su Wanyan's rage immediately flared up. "What do you mean a bunch of bandits suddenly appeared? It was clearly that damn emperor who sent people to do this. They wanted to know if you were well again so they could accuse you of these unfounded crimes! Those bandits didn't show up earlier or later, but they showed up right after we left, and killed so many people. If the news gets out, wouldn't they be able to frame you without knowing the whole story?"
Ji Xiaohan was naturally angry in his heart, but when he heard the little princess defending him like this, a wave of warmth overflowed from his chest. It turned out that the little princess cared about him the most. Look how angry the little girl was?
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I will not let the people of Zhaojia Village die in vain. Ji Yueze will be held accountable for this." Ji Xiaohan naturally thought more than the little princess. Regardless of whether this matter was related to Ji Yueze, he could not escape suspicion.
After hearing what Ji Xiaohan said, Su Wanyan finally felt better. Looking at the pitiful child, she hurriedly called Rong Mama and Shaoyao, asking them to take the child to the room first, and then call a military doctor to check on the child.
He lost his parents shortly after he was born. He was a poor baby. Even if he followed them, it would not be a good thing. Given Ji Xiaohan's status, although he could provide the child with food and clothing, it was inevitable that he would suffer from fear.
How difficult it must be for a premature little girl to live!
When Rong Mama and the others heard what had happened to the little girl, they felt so sorry for her. How old was she? She had to endure the tragic death of her family. If their people hadn't turned back, the child wouldn't have survived much longer. "Let heaven strike those bastards with lightning! What a sin!"
