Chapter 163 The Princess was Kidnapped
As expected by the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, the police officers who were sent to the victims' homes to investigate sent back news one after another.
All the missing children were born on the Ghost Festival. In order to avoid bad omens, the family changed the birth date after the birth of the children.
The clues of the case gradually became clear, and the rest was to track down the culprit!
In addition to mobilizing the police officers of the prefecture to investigate in various counties, the King of Qin sent out the shadow guards with strong martial arts in teams of three to track down the culprit.
Luo Li had nothing to do, so she took Hong Gu and Si Yu to play around and look for suitable houses and industries.
Shadow guards Mo Ming and Mo Lei followed behind, responsible for protecting the princess's safety.
Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was flattered by Shen Xi for his outstanding performance, so he became addicted to the game of investigating cases.
Every day, he, King Qin, Shen Xi and the other two analyzed the case together, sorting out the news sent back by the head constables and shadow guards.
For two consecutive days, the hidden corners of the city, the Taoist temples within a radius of hundreds of miles, and the deep mountains and old forests were carefully searched, but there was no trace of the crime scene or the culprit! …………
I heard from the local dental dealer that there is a mansion for sale in the west of the county town. The house covers a very large area and is exquisitely built. Luo Li was very interested, so she took people to the west of the city to see the mansion.
The group arrived at the mansion for sale. The gatehouse of the courtyard was high and majestic, with a classical and elegant style. On the indigo plaque with gold characters were two ancient and powerful characters "Chen Garden".
Walking in, one could see the spacious courtyard with exquisite buildings.
A small bridge arched over the stream, the rockery was rugged, the bamboos were tall and straight, and the stone paths were winding. The exquisite pavilions and pavilions were hidden among the ancient trees, combining the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River and the boldness of the north.
The dealer said that the original owner of the garden was a wealthy businessman from the capital. Because his business encountered some troubles and he could not make ends meet, he had to sell the garden.
What satisfied Luo Li the most was that in this garden-style courtyard built against the mountain, there was actually a spring that continuously gushed out a stream of clear spring water. A pool of spring water turned into a stream, winding and swirling in the low and flat area to form a lotus pond, and then winding and swirling to the distance. The spring eye silently
cherishes the trickle, and the tree shade shines on the water and loves the sunshine. The little lotus has just revealed its pointed corners, and a dragonfly has already landed on it. This poem appeared in Luo Li's mind.
[This mansion is what I want! Luo Li was extremely satisfied ,
but she asked calmly: "Since the owner is in a hurry to sell, can the price be more favorable?
If the price is right, I will buy it as a villa, and bring my family here to live for a few days every year when I am free."
The dentist was a short and thin middle-aged man. He smiled slightly when he heard the words, and a shrewd cunning flashed in his eyes.
"If this noble man is interested, I can decide to reduce the price by another 6,000 taels, and the deal will be a whole number of 60,000 taels of silver.
However, you have to pay my commission of 300 taels in double. If you agree, I will take care of this matter."
"Deal!" Luo Li agreed readily!
It's easier to get things done if you have money!
Luo Li bought this mansion with great enthusiasm. Siyu and Yuli happily followed the dealer to the county government to handle the transfer procedures.
"This exquisite and beautiful mansion will belong to me in the future!
Hong Gu, take down the "Chen Garden" plaque on the gate tomorrow and replace it with the "Luo Garden" plaque with gold characters." Luo Li ordered happily.
A white shadow flashed by! ...
"Miss, the little spirit beast followed us here!" Hong Gu said in surprise.
The little spirit beast, which was even more petite than a cat, stopped on the top of a pavilion, and its two eyes of different colors and enchanting colors looked at Luo Li quietly.
Luo Li was delighted!
With a friendly smile on her face, like Aunt Fox seducing a little white rabbit, she waved to it: "Xiaobai, come down and play with me, okay?
I have all kinds of delicious food here. What do you like to eat? Meat jerky, dried fish, fresh fruits, delicious spicy strips, we have everything delicious. ...
Be good! Come down and eat together, okay? ..."
The little spirit beast with pure white hair, who was quietly looking at Luo Li, suddenly let out a strange cry!
Two ghost-like shadows quickly rushed towards Luo Li from the lush old tree! ...
: "Miss! Hide quickly..." Hong Gu exclaimed, drew her sword and rushed up.
"Ding Ding Dang Dang! ..." Amid the sound of swords colliding as fast as lightning, a ghost shadow fell to the ground, and Hong Gu was forced to retreat more than ten steps.
Luo Li finally reacted, and her hair stood up instantly!
Luo Li ran! Before she took the first step, another ghost who flew over chopped her on the neck and she passed out.
Luo Li's last consciousness was a wail in her heart! [Fuck! When faced with a top master's sudden attack, there was no time to draw a pistol! ]
Hong Gu was scared to death!
"Miss!..." Distracted, the black-clothed ghost took the opportunity to stab her in the shoulder.
Mo Ming and Mo Lei, who were hiding in the dark, had already rushed over with swords in hand, and used their double swords to repel the black-clothed ghost who wanted to take the princess away!
The two shadow guards in black worked together to repel the black-clothed ghost, and the two sides fought together.
The two black-clothed ghosts had strange figures and their martial arts were even more strange and sinister. The curved knives in their hands were as sharp and tough as the snowflake iron swords in the hands of the shadow guards. After a while, the black-clothed ghosts had the upper hand.
After being injured, Hong Gu was even more defeated. She tried her best to use the trick of losing both sides, but it didn't last long. The steel sword in her hand was cut into several pieces by the enemy, leaving only the hilt in her hand.
Hong Gu threw away the hilt, pulled out a short blade, and fought desperately with the enemy like crazy. After being hit by two swords in a row, she was pierced through the lower abdomen by the enemy and fell to the ground covered in blood!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Mo Ming quickly stepped back a few steps, withdrew from the battle circle, took out something from his arms, and shot it into the sky!
An arrow with a red flame flew into the sky with a sharp sound. This was the signal arrow of the shadow guards of the Prince Qin's Mansion requesting emergency support!
Morey, who was fighting alone, had been stabbed in the left arm by the enemy!
After sending the signal, Mo Ming saw that another ghost in black had carried the princess. He didn't care about rescuing Morey. He shouted angrily, jumped up and stabbed the ghost with a sword!
The black-clothed ghost was a skilled martial artist with strange and vicious moves. He took advantage of Morey's distraction and slashed back with a knife, cutting off Morey's left wrist!
Morey gritted his teeth! He didn't even look at the severed hand on the ground, and fought desperately with the enemy with red eyes!
Mo Ming flew with a sword and stabbed at the enemy who was carrying the princess, but was blocked by the enemy who was fighting with Morey. He watched helplessly as the princess was taken away and flew over the high wall.
"I'll catch him! You go chase him!..." Morey shouted angrily, and attacked the powerful enemy desperately with a move that would hurt both sides!
Mo Ming finally found the opportunity to withdraw, and with a few leaps, he was out of the high wall, chasing the black-clad ghost who had snatched the princess away! ...
When Qin Wang Zhao Defang and his men rushed to rescue, in the spacious courtyard, there was only Hong Gu unconscious in a pool of blood, and a bloody severed hand on the ground!
Where is the princess?
Qin Wang was terrified and felt a suffocating feeling in his chest!
Regardless of the difference between men and women, Qin Wang placed his right palm on Hong Gu's vest and transferred a trace of internal force to her.
Hong Gu slowly opened her eyes, "Two black scarves... masked men, curved swords... a man and a woman..."
Hong Gu said the characteristics of the enemy with difficulty...
"Uncle Master! Stop the bleeding and treat Hong Gu. Yun Yi! Recall all the shadow guards and chase the enemy..." When King Qin's words fell, he had already jumped over the high wall.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor quickly inserted several golden needles into Hong Gu's body, crushed a pill and stuffed it into her mouth, and slapped Hong Gu to swallow it.
Then he turned around and jumped over the high wall, chasing the direction of his nephew!
Yun Yi also passed the prince's order to the first shadow guard who arrived, and chased after the prince and the ghost hand senior.
The King of Qin followed the scattered bloodstains all the way to a river outside the city.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes! He leaped towards the figure lying on the ground.
"Morey!... Where is the princess?"
Morey, who had lost too much blood, was almost in a coma, his face was pale, and he barely opened his eyelids: "The princess... was taken away by a black-clothed ghost... and got on a boat... heading north... and was being followed inexplicably..."
The King of Qin handed Morey over to his uncle who came later for treatment, and then jumped onto the boat on the shore, picked up a bamboo pole and pushed the river bank, and the boat sailed north like an arrow from a bow!
A figure flew over and arrived in time, and jumped onto the boat. It was Yun Yi!
The ghost-handed poison doctor gave Morey an acupuncture injection to stop the bleeding, and after feeding him a pill, he saw that his nephew had driven the boat far away.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor threw Morey on the spot, leaped onto another boat, kicked the surprised boatman into the water, picked up the bamboo pole and drove the boat away!
Qin Wang Zhao Defang used his inner strength to steer the boat with Yun Yi, and his heart was as anxious as fried oil! There was also panic, heartache, anger, and grief!
[Li'er! Don't be afraid, your husband will definitely save you! ]
