princess teasing concubine

Eunuch De walked into the alchemy room and saw that the national teacher was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace with his eyes closed for rest. He approached gently, "The tiger talisman has confirmed its location. I didn't expect it. When I turned my words a little, Shangguan Ling couldn't help it." Went to check the Tiger Talisman."

The national teacher just opened his eyes, stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, "What do you want me to do?"

"Princess Hexu left the imperial city today to go to Huaishui County to investigate the disappearance of the local population. Your Highness ordered you to evacuate the people."

The national teacher nodded, "Okay!"

"Although we know the location of the tiger talisman, there are death guards guarding Shangguan Ling." Eunuch De looked at the alchemy furnace, "Shangguan Ling should have taken enough medicine. While Princess Hexu is not in the imperial city, I will go to find Lin Tianyou , use the name of the second prince to ask him to save people, and when the palace is in chaos, you can use this to control Shangguan Ling."

"But with Lin An around, Lin Tianyou may not listen to you." Tai Jieer shook his head worriedly.

"Master has a countermeasure." Eunuch De sneered, "All I need is you, to propose Lin Anhu to send the three princesses to the Southern Dynasty in front of the Holy One, and I will help from the side."

"I see." Tai Jie'er turned around and took out a book and a box from the cabinet and handed them to Eunuch De, "I've already made the pill of immortality, but there's only one pill. It's really troublesome to practice this pill. Yes, but too many people died."

Eunuch De didn't shy away from it, he just flipped through the book, his eyes narrowed, "The flower of life...hehe...it's more appropriate to say it's the flower of death."

"The stronghold of Gudao City has been abandoned, and the area just settled in Huaishui County has to be evacuated, so I can't get a second one here for the time being. If my father-in-law wants it too, I'm afraid I'll have to wait."

"I'm old, and I'm not afraid of death. If I die, I can go and accompany my sister. It's not a bad thing." Eunuch De put away his things, "My master left the palace with Princess Hexu, I can't leave here for the time being, and I will leave things to others I am not at ease, I will personally hand it over to the master when the master comes back."

"En." Tai Jie'er is still very relieved of Eunuch De, after all, he is the master's uncle, "By the way, the Thousand Machine Box bought by the second prince is hidden in the second princess's mansion, Eunuch De might as well tell Shangguan Ling, and then go Inform the second princess."

Eunuch De smiled, "Okay!"

……

Mu Jin was sitting outside the carriage, with his legs crossed and his chin propped, while Shangguan Ru drove the carriage himself, the whip was swayed smartly, and A Sen and A Zhi followed behind the carriage.

If you want to ask why Mu Jin didn't stay in the carriage with Shangguan Yue, it's because the fourth prince invited Lin Tianxi to accompany him, which is called a couple.

"You don't seem very happy?" Shangguan looked sideways.

"No." Mu Jin grinned, but the smile disappeared in an instant, leaving only dry stares.

"Forehead!"

Lin Tianxi lifted the curtain of the car, looking at the scenery with eyes full of joy, "Thank you for the invitation, Fourth Young Master, I wanted to go out for a picnic very early, but unfortunately my brother has never had time."

"It's okay. I invited Miss Lin because of my own selfishness. My father asked Mu Jin to investigate the case. At that time, I was alone. Wouldn't it be boring to death?"

"What case are you investigating?" Lin Tianxi asked curiously.

"It's just that someone in Huaishui County has disappeared recently. Let's go over and see what's going on." As soon as Mu Jin turned his head, he saw Shangguan Yue behind Lin Tianxi giving him a wink.

Mu Jin rolled his eyes.

Shangguanru noticed the little interaction between the two of them. He touched his chin and didn't say much, "We're almost in Huaishui County."

"Well, fourth brother finds an inn to settle down first, and Jin'er and I will go to the government office." Shangguan Yue regained his composure and looked at the gradually enlarged town in the distance.

"En, good!" Shangguan Ru narrowed his eyes.

There are many soldiers guarding the entrance and exit of Huaishui County, because people have been missing recently, and they are strictly checking every pedestrian.

The soldiers stopped everyone, "Get out of the car and check."

Mu Jin got out of the carriage and showed his badge, "Take me to see your county magistrate. I was ordered to come here to assist the county magistrate in investigating the case."

"It turned out to be the imperial envoy."

Mu Jin nodded and ordered A Sen and A Zhi to follow the fourth prince, but Shangguan Ruo blinked and said, "No need, I have Miss Lin to protect me."

"Eh!" Could it be that the Fourth Prince has taken a fancy to Lin Tianxi, that's why he invited her?Although Mu Jin was puzzled, but Lin Tianxi's kung fu is not weak, so it should be fine, "Okay then!"

Mu Jin and Shangguan Yue went to the government office, while Shangguan Ru took Lin Tianxi to go shopping.

There was a troupe performing street performances on the street, so Lin Tianxi squeezed into the crowd, and suddenly a string of flames sprayed towards him, so frightened that Lin Tianxi exclaimed, turned around and bumped into Shangguan Ruo accidentally.

"Oh!" It was the first time for Lin Tianxi to come into contact with a man at such a close distance. When he looked up, Shangguan's distinctive facial features looked like a fairy in a painting, and the corners of his lips curled up to make people feel like a foxy girl, "Yes... I'm sorry..."

"It's okay." Shangguan Ruo glanced at another place and saw a man slowly approaching. He lowered his head and said softly as if nothing had happened: "Miss Lin, it's better not to run around. After all, there are many people and many traffickers. I love abducting and selling a beautiful girl like you."

"Huh?" Lin Tianxi was stunned for a while, and after a while, he heard the shouts of the crowd before returning to his senses. Seeing the posture of the two embracing each other, he was ashamed and pushed Shangguan Ruo away, "I...I It's not a weak girl...just now she was unprepared...just taken aback."

"Really?" Shangguan smiled slightly.

Ah... what does the Fourth Prince mean?

Could it be that he is interested in her?

Lin Tianxi recalled what Shangguan Rue had said when he asked her to go on an outing, but he didn't want to be alone next to Mu Jin and Shangguan Yue, so he simply called her and made a couple.

In pairs?

Could it be that the Fourth Prince is really interested in her?

Lin Tianxi covered his cheeks with his hands, he couldn't watch the troupe's wonderful performance at all, he just stood there thinking wildly.

The man quietly approached the two of them, Lin Tianxi was distracted and didn't notice the approach of a stranger. Suddenly, Lin Tianxi was bumped, and the man turned around and ran away.

She came back to her senses, checked her waist, and found that the silver taels were stolen, including the Lin family's badge, "If you dare to steal things from your aunt, you will die."

Lin Tianxi suddenly became like a shrew, chasing after her regardless of her image, Shangguan Ru followed closely behind and shouted: "Don't run around...wait for me..."

Although Shangguan Ru is smart, but his kung fu is really mediocre, maybe he can't even beat Mu Jin now, "Wait... ah... Lin Tianxi..."

In a blink of an eye, Lin Tianxi turned the corner, and when Shangguan Ruo chased him, there was no one there. He chased a few more alleys, but when he reached the fork, he couldn't tell where the people went.

"Well... let's go and inform Yue'er!" Shangguan Ru was not in a hurry, but walked back slowly.

Seeing that the thief was always running at a certain distance from her, Lin Tianxi realized that the opponent's purpose might not be simple. She threw a few silver needles at an extremely fast speed, and the silver needles were thin and hard to see.

They all stabbed into the thief's calf, and he fell to the ground immediately.

Lin Tianxi stepped forward, wanting to get back the money bag and waist card, but the thief turned around and threw the money bag at her. The moment he reached out to take it, the thief stood up on one leg and sprinkled powder into the sky.

Lin Tianxi subconsciously covered his mouth with his arm, and the powder flew around, covering his sight. When the back of his neck hurt, he passed out.

Another man dropped his stick and looked at the woman's face, "That's right...the girl I attracted this time is still top-notch."

"Don't talk about it, be careful, this girl has a lot of kung fu and almost crippled my leg." The man pulled out the silver needle on his calf, but his leg couldn't use his strength, "There is an anesthetic in this needle, I will I can't move my legs."

"What should I do?"

"It will be fine when the numbness passes." The man pointed to the woman on the ground, "The silver is mine, and the girl is yours."

"Yes." The man threw the money bag back to the man, picked up the woman on the ground, turned and left the alley.

……

"Congratulations to the imperial envoy, the lower officials are far away."

The age of the county magistrate of Huaishui County seems to be around [-], which is relatively young. "It's okay, show me the list of missing persons."

"Inside please."

The county magistrate's roster had been prepared on the desk for a long time, and he handed it to Mu Jin, "There are 13 people missing, and all of them are women from good families. The officials searched for a long time but failed. At first, they speculated that it was the work of flower pickers, but the appearance of these women In general, it’s not outstanding, and flower pickers don’t seem to like it either.”

"Where did you search?"

"The mountains and forests outside the city, the streets and alleys inside the city." The county magistrate sighed, "I am ashamed to say that the officials are incompetent, and I am afraid that things will become serious, so I can only report to the imperial city."

"Bring the map of the county." Shangguan Yue closed the roster and ordered coldly.

"Yes!"

Unfolding the map, Shangguan Yue took a brush and drew thirteen circles on the map. Only then did Mu Jin discover that the disappearance of these people was all around a remote mountain forest.

"The officials here have searched, and there are no problems with the few families in the mountain, and nothing has been found." The county magistrate shook his head, "But some people say that there are always female ghosts crying nearby."

"What do you mean?"

Just as the county magistrate was about to explain, Shangguan Ru hurried over, but was stopped by the yamen servant. He could only shout at the door: "Yue'er...Lin Tianxi is gone..."

Several people heard the words and ran out of the government office.

Shangguan Yue: "What's going on?"

"Lin Tianxi and I were watching juggling in the street, when suddenly someone robbed her purse, I followed after her, but I lost her." Shangguan blamed himself slightly, "I should let A Sen and A Zhi follow me, if What happened to Lin Tianxi, I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life."

"Master County Magistrate." Mu Jin frowned, always feeling that it was too coincidental, "Please transfer someone, go find someone with me."

"Yes, please wait a moment, my lord."

Shangguan Yue pondered, became suspicious, and raised her eyes to stare at Shangguan Ruo, "Fourth Brother, can you see the face of the thief?"

Shangguan Ru nodded, "Well, I see clearly, I'll go and draw it for you."

"it is good!"

With the portrait, looking for someone will not be like a headless chicken. According to the fourth prince's later description, Mu Jin felt that the thief was not as simple as stealing money, and he probably was not alone.

In order to facilitate tracing, Lin Tianxi's portrait was also drawn together.

Mu Jin led people to search around. Xiaoxian said that it was not too big, but it would not be so fast to find someone for a while. He asked many people on the street, and they all shook their heads and said they had never seen it.

Shangguan Ru looked up at the sky, it was getting dark, and the number of people around was gradually decreasing, "Let's look separately!"

Shangguan Yue nodded, "A Sen and A Zhi, you two will follow Jin Er, and I will go with Fourth Brother."

"Yes!"

Mu Jin led his men to the west, the government servants to the east, and Shangguan Yue and others to the north.

Shangguan Ru took the portraits of the two and asked patiently one by one. Shangguan Yue kept staring at his back, as if he didn't intend to help.

After a while, Shangguan Rufang felt that something was wrong. When he turned his head and saw the other party's eyes, he felt a little bit embarrassed, "Yue'er suspects that I have set up a trick?"

"No, it's just too coincidental."

"It's a coincidence." Shangguan Ru pursed his lips and forced a smile, "Let's find someone first!"

"kindness!"

As soon as he turned around, Shangguan Ru's eyes sank, and he returned to normal for a moment. After the two asked about the number of people, a man who just came out of the brothel pointed to the portrait and said, "I don't know the man, but this woman I know." seen."

Shangguan Yue put away the portrait, "Where is the man?"

The man looked at the woman who was so cold to the bone in front of him, and shivered slightly, not daring to have evil thoughts at all, "It's just in front of the brothel, I accidentally saw a man holding her up after I went to the latrine, because she looks good, so I remember very clear."

"go!"

The two looked at each other and hurried to the brothel.

Looking at the brothel with increasing traffic in front of them, the two of them did not dare to rush in. Shangguan rubbed his chin, "Just now the man said he saw it in the hut, let's go in from the backyard to have a look."

"I'll go look for it. Fourth Brother will go and find those yamen servants. With the government here, these people dare not make mistakes."

"it is good!"

Looking for someone in the brothel, with Shangguan Yue's skills, even if he visited the brothel all over, he would never find her.

In the firewood room, Lin Tianxi was bound hands and feet. No matter how much she shouted for help, she couldn't even see a person outside the door. "You bastards, I'm Miss Lin... Is there anyone..."

The door was opened, and two big men and a middle-aged woman walked in. The big man rolled up his sleeves, obviously he was a thug, and the woman was weak, so she was naturally a bustard.

"Yo, this young lady of the Lin family must be more able to win the hearts of men, and her tone is not small."

"I'm really Miss Lin."

The old bustard sneered, "Really, is there anything to prove your identity?"

Lin Tianxi was at a loss for words, his waist card was stolen, what could he have to prove his identity, "I... I am rich, and my friend is even richer. Go to Yuelai Inn and find Mr. Mu, and he will give you money."

"Heh, I just said that I am Miss Lin, and now I want to ask my people to go to Yuelai Inn to find someone. Doesn't that tell you that I am here?" The old bustard lost his patience, "You think I'm stupid?"

"No... what I said is true."

"Damn, don't care if you're real or not." The bustard squatted down and touched her small face, "This small face, tsk tsk... is really slippery, so I'll ask you, will you pick up the guests tomorrow?"

"No!" This was an insult to Lin Tianxi. Facing the current predicament, although she was a little scared, she would not be in a mess. As long as she found a way to untie her, she would naturally have a way to escape.

The old bustard stood up, "Call me, remember not to hurt yourself, and don't hurt your face."

"Yes!"

The thugs picked up firewood, kicked Lin Tianxi down, and hit her on the back.

"Ah... you're looking for death... when I get out, I'll definitely peel off your skin..."

"You can still speak hard." The bustard looked coldly, "It seems that the beating is not strong enough, give me a hard beating!"

"Yes!"

The thugs beat Lin Tianxi with all their strength, and she howled in pain. Since she was a child, she had never been beaten by anyone, let alone a wooden stick.

With a stick down, you can hear a muffled sound!

Perhaps the screams were loud enough!

As soon as Shangguan Yue entered the door, he kicked the two thugs into the air, hitting the wall with a diameter, and fell heavily with a "bump".

The old bustard pointed at the person who came, and before she got angry, she was frightened and stupid, "Come... come... people..."

Shangguan Yue squatted down, and untied the rope under Lin Tianxi's dazed eyes, "Are you all right?"

At this moment, Shangguan Yue's figure was as majestic and tall as a mountain, and Lin Tianxi shook his head blankly with heart-warming concern in his cold voice.

Only then did Shangguan Yue help the man to stand up, a dozen thugs blocked the door one after another when they heard the sound, the madam hid behind them in fright, and said tremblingly: "Take them both down for me."

"Yes!"

The thugs all held long sticks in both hands, and attacked the two of them, but how could these shrimp soldiers and crab generals be Shangguan Yue's opponents, she walked among the crowd, and with one palm, one person was sent flying.

In just one breath, more than a dozen people fell to the ground and howled.

The bustard was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, "You...you broke into private houses...I...I'm going to sue you at the government!"

"Oh, people like you really deserve to die." Lin Tianxi sneered, and kicked the old bustard. It was not enough to relieve her anger. She kicked many times until the old bustard yelled for mercy.

At this time, Shangguan Ru led the officers and soldiers to break in and surrounded the people. The county magistrate ordered someone to take down the madam and asked, "Are all the thirteen missing women trafficked to you?"

When the old bustard heard the words, her nose burst into tears, "My lord, those missing women have nothing to do with me."

"Really?" The county magistrate raised his hand, "Search."

The officers and soldiers immediately dispersed to search.

"It's all my fault for not following you closely." Shangguan Ruo walked to Lin Tianxi's side and asked with concern, "Are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?"

Lin Tianxi looked at Shangguan Ruo's face similar to Shangguan Yue's, her heart beat in vain, her face felt slightly hot, she shook her head and said, "It's okay... Fortunately, you came in time."

"It's good that it's okay, otherwise I won't feel at ease for the rest of my life." Shangguan Ru then laughed.

After a while, the officers and soldiers reported one by one after searching, "My lord, some women were forcibly sold here, but the thirteen women were not found."

"My lord, you heard me, it really has nothing to do with me."

The county magistrate snorted coldly, "Even if it's irrelevant, you still can't escape the responsibility for buying a famous girl."

"Your Excellency, you are wronged. Those girls were sold by family members, not by force." The procuress pointed at Lin Tianxi and said, "And she was sold by her brother."

Lin Tianxi was furious, "You fart, I fainted, do you believe what others say?"

The county magistrate nodded, "Miss Lin is the young lady of the Lin family. Her elder brother Lin Tianyou is in the imperial city. How could she sell her younger sister? You should go to the government office and stay there!"

"No... my lord... I didn't know she was from the Lin family... Those who don't know are innocent... my lord..."

"Take it."

……

On the other side, Mu Jin searched for a long time, and finally a grandmother who had just closed the stall recognized the man in the painting, and led the three of them to the west of the city.

There are not many people here, and the people's residences are simply built with mud and stones. The fields are full of rapeseed flowers. Obviously, their living conditions are only enough for food and clothing.

The sky was getting darker and darker. Grandma pointed to the hut not far away, "People live in it. This kid is usually idle and knows how to steal all day long."

"Thank you grandma!"

The dim candlelight in the room came on, and the three of Mu Jin approached cautiously. Through the torn window paper, they saw the man lying on the bed, counting the money.

A Sen and A Zhi kicked the door in, and the man was so frightened that he turned over and got out of bed, "What are you doing?"

A Sen and A Zhi didn't say much, the two surrounded the man directly, the man took out the dagger, and stabbed A Sen, A Sen kicked the man's wrist, and the dagger fell out of his hand immediately.

The man jumped out of the window, rolled around on the ground, got up and ran, Mu Jin, who was waiting outside, grabbed the man's arm, hooked his foot, and pressed him to the ground.

"Tell me, where is the woman chasing you?"

The man's right hand was tightly suppressed, and he could only reach out his left hand to reach the bag on his waist, "I handed over the person to someone else."

"Who?"

He had just touched the bag, but before he could take out the powder, two people who followed stepped on his left hand, "Ah...it hurts...it's my brother, he should be sold into a brothel by now."

In the end, Mu Jin arrested the man according to the man's description. Because the woman bought by the procuress was a daughter of the Lin family, her brothel was naturally blocked by the county magistrate.
