Chapter 150: Just feel free to leave this little matter to me, Chengcheng!
Groups of soldiers surrounded Pan's mansion, and fire suddenly broke out, illuminating the area as bright as day.
Kan Ruifeng personally stood in front of the Pan Mansion and knocked on the door.
After a while, hurried footsteps were heard from inside, and the doorman came to open the door cursing. As soon as he saw the man, he was so frightened by the scene in front of him that his whole body trembled.
"Several adults..."
Kan Ruifeng raised his hand to stop the doorman from speaking, and said in a deep voice: "You can't delay this matter, go and call your master out."
Having said that, he began to look around with a stern look, obviously not wanting to waste any more time talking to this person.
The doorman gritted his teeth, turned around and ran back to the mansion.
Pan Jifeng and Master Pan Chengbi were invited out together.
"General Kan," Pan Jifeng said coldly, "you led people to surround my Pan Mansion in the middle of the night, but have I committed any serious crime of colluding with the enemy or betraying the country?"
The Pan family has risen to their current status, and their every move is watched by the people of the entire capital. If rumors spread that they are surrounded by soldiers, their prestige in the capital will probably decline!
If Kan Ruifeng cannot give him a satisfactory answer today, he will definitely give a severe lesson to everyone present tomorrow!
"Master Pan has misunderstood," Kan Ruifeng felt relieved when he saw the other party trying hard to suppress his anger. "Today, the daughter of General Dong Liguo escaped from the imperial prison. During the pursuit, some soldiers saw her enter your mansion with their own eyes."
"Our people have surrounded your house. That person will definitely not be able to escape. So," Kan Ruifeng smiled calmly, "I would like to ask Lord Pan to do us a favor and let us go in and search."
Pan Jifeng's rage paused for a moment.
He had indeed heard about Xie Jinrou being imprisoned in the imperial prison. If that person really escaped to his Pan Mansion, he would not be able to stop her.
Pan Jifeng stared at Kan Ruifeng for a long while, then snorted coldly: "If you can't find the fugitive in my house today, General Kan will have to give me an explanation!"
Then he moved slightly to make way for everyone.
Kan Ruifeng curled the corners of his lips.
They deliberately drove people here, so how could they not find them?
He raised his hand and waved lightly in the air, and immediately soldiers rushed in. On the way, someone accidentally knocked Pan Chengbi off balance.
…
The garden of the Pan Mansion is full of winter heather. Even in such cold weather, it still tenaciously blooms small pink and purple flowers.
Xie Jinrou hid in the dense flowers, her heart still beating violently.
What happened today was just too much of a coincidence.
It was as if he was giving her a hope of escaping, but then ruthlessly crushed it.
Suddenly, the entire Pan Mansion became noisy in an instant.
"Brothers, search carefully. Don't be afraid of alerting the enemy. We have surrounded the place. We guarantee that not even a fly can escape!"
"yes!"
"Di Xuan, you lead a team to search the garden. Bai Chao, you lead the team to search to the right. The rest of you, follow me!"
"yes!"
The response was deafening, and it was obvious that many people had come.
Xie Jinrou's eyes went dark and her breathing instantly became panicked and rapid.
How did they gather so many people here so quickly?
Aren't there only the Royal Guards chasing her? What kind of trap did she fall into tonight? !
She could no longer think about the situation, so she held her breath and thought about possible ways to escape.
Unsuccessful.
The Pan Mansion is now like an iron barrel. As long as they search carefully, they will find her sooner or later.
She was filled with despair.
Some people were already searching the garden. Xie Jinrou hardened her heart and rushed in the opposite direction of the sound.
“There!!”
"Chase!"
Half of the soldiers in the garden chased in the direction where Xie Jinrou fled, while the other half walked to the rockery in the garden and tapped on the stone wall a few times, "Come out."
Dong Kangsheng peeked outside stealthily, then quickly sneaked out from the secret passage inside the rockery.
"Did you find the thing?"
Dong Kangsheng patted his chest proudly: "Of course!"
The two looked at each other, both with relaxed expressions on their faces.
"Let's go, the rest is left to the brothers—"
…
When Lu Yao escorted Xie Jinrou out of the Pan residence, Pan Jifeng and his son's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, but they still had to maintain a calm appearance.
When all the soldiers withdrew from the Pan Mansion like the ebbing tide, Pan Jifeng asked the housekeeper behind him with a serious face: "Where did they find this Xie Jinrou?"
The butler bowed down, his face pale: "Master, yes, it was in the garden..."
Pan Jifeng's expression suddenly changed: "Not good!"
He raised his legs and walked towards the garden, his steps hurried and a thin layer of sweat appeared on the corners of his forehead.
The things in there are much more deadly than a fugitive who suddenly runs in!
…
Jiang Yingcheng took a short rest in Tianxiang Tower to regain his strength before following Uncle Chen and Uncle Zhong, bringing Wu Leyong with him, and heading towards the imperial prison.
Wu Leyong first took them back to his own lair to retrieve the package, put on a new human skin mask for himself, and also provided one to Zhong Chengwang as a favor.
When the four arrived at the gate of the prison with a brand new look, they were all a little nervous.
Wu Leyong was worried and confirmed again: "Is your plan really feasible?"
Jiang Yingcheng heard this and stubbornly puffed up his chest: "Just leave this little thing to me, Chengcheng, without worrying about it!"
Having said that, she walked forward with great pride and stood on tiptoe to reach for the door knocker.
After a while——
"Is there any kind-hearted uncle?" Jiang Yingcheng, who hadn't been able to reach the door ring, turned around, her face flushed with shame, and her voice was very small, "Can you help Chengcheng knock on the door?"
[Wuwuwu, I’m so embarrassed——]
Wu Leyong: “…”
Zhong Chengwang: “…”
Liaochen: “…”
The three of them were in agreement at the same time, and they all felt that this trip might not be as smooth as the young man said...
As the only one among the three who had dealt with people from the imperial court, Liao Chen sighed, then resigned himself to his fate and went forward to knock on the door.
"Uncles, just wait and see!" Before the people inside came out, Jiang Yingcheng, who felt embarrassed, made a final harsh remark, "Don't be scared by Chengcheng's acting skills!"
Three people: "...Okay, okay."
Inside the cell, Lu Yao, who had just returned, was watching his men torturing Mu Hui in a very happy mood. Suddenly, one of his men hurried in, leaned over to his side and whispered something in his ear.
Lu Yao was stunned and turned back in surprise: "Really?"
The man said, "The little princess is already heading this way. I came in first to report the news."
Lu Yao stood up quickly: "Quick, quick, carry the person in first, and cover the blood on the ground!"
The little princess will come at this time——
Lu Yuan let out a long sigh, feeling that nothing good would happen.
He pushed the door open and went out.
When he was halfway there, he saw three men following the young man. In addition to Lachen, whom he had met on Congyun Mountain, he also had vague guesses about the other two.
The little princess was talking angrily to someone behind her. They were too far away, so he could only hear a few sporadic sentences.
"No, I don't believe Chengcheng... I regret it!"
"... Acting skills... Amazing... Humph!"
Lu Yao tried to figure it out for a long time but couldn't extract any useful information from it. He could only speed up his pace and walk closer to the young man: "Your Highness——"
Afterwards, Lu Yao witnessed the young man's amazing acting skills with his own eyes.
When the young man heard his call, the anger on his face disappeared immediately, and tears quickly filled his eyes——
“Wow wow wow——” Jiang Yingcheng’s short legs quickly wiggled and she ran towards her Uncle Lu with open arms, “Chengcheng, Chengcheng, I almost couldn’t see you ah ah ah——”
The people opposite: "..."
Lu Yao: “…”
Is, is that so…
