The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 751 Chen Ji flees and is in trouble (4)

Chu Heng didn't understand it at first, but when he realized it, he was a little envious that his cousin had met a woman he trusted so much.

"Even so, do you have the heart to embarrass Miss Mo? Why don't you clarify the matter with Mr. Mo first? If Mr. Mo has no objection, it won't be too late for you to send a matchmaker to propose marriage; if Mr. Mo is unwilling to recruit you as his son-in-law, you have no choice but to If you just bring a matchmaker to your door, wouldn't it ruin Miss Mo's reputation as a good friend? Then Mr. Mo will hate you, and you will have no hope of marrying Miss Mo."

Xiao Ruiyuan frowned and was silent in thought. Previously, he wanted to marry his beloved home early, so he planned to bring a matchmaker to his door to propose marriage. However, his cousin's reminder made him feel that this was not a wise move.

 Just how to do it specifically, Xiao Ruiyuan really had no idea, so he couldn't help but ask Chu Heng: "In my cousin's opinion, what should I do?"

When Chu Heng heard this, he felt his forehead hurt even more, but looking at his cousin's hopeful look, he really couldn't bear to give up, so he had no choice but to agree: "Whenever you stop bathing, my cousin will go with you." This time, I think even if Mr. Mo refuses, he will not embarrass you in front of my cousin!"

 “Thank you, cousin!” Xiao Ruiyuan cupped his fists to express his thanks, his voice becoming gentler several times.

As long as he could marry the one he loved, he was not afraid of embarrassment or being made things difficult for him, but his cousin's intention moved him greatly.

Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan who was not yet married and showed signs of being a wife slave, Chu Heng felt his eyes hurt and suddenly missed his former cousin who was as indifferent to everything as an ice cube.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study room, and Chu Heng said "come in". A secret guard walked in hurriedly, knelt on the ground and reported to Xiao Ruiyuan that the three members of the Chen family had escaped and their whereabouts were unknown.

Xiao Ruiyuan stood up suddenly and did not bother to ask why the three members of the Chen family escaped quietly under the heavy surveillance of secret guards. He gave the order with a stern face: "Look! Dig three feet into the ground to find this person!"

 “Yes!” The secret guard accepted the order and disappeared under the moonlight as quietly as he came.

After the secret guards left, Xiao Ruiyuan said goodbye to Chu Heng, hurriedly returned to Weiyuan Hou Mansion, and personally took twenty personal guards to the Chen family. After spending half an hour, he finally found a secret passage leading outside in the well in the backyard of Chen's family.

The secret passage is several miles long and leads directly to an abandoned ruined temple outside the city. Not far from the ruined temple, the three members of the Chen family apparently escaped from the capital through this secret passage.

Not far from the ruined temple is the moat. If the three members of the Chen family had taken a boat down the river, they would have already left the capital and headed south.

It obviously took more than a year or two to be able to secretly dig such a secret tunnel. Judging from the traces of digging, it was actually ten years old. Even Xiao Ruiyuan had to admire Chen Ji's scheming, and he had prepared a way out ten years ago.

 How dangerous Chen Ji is, Xiao Ruiyuan knows very well, no matter what, he must find him to avoid future troubles. After questioning other boats parked by the river and concluding that the Chen family of three had indeed escaped through the moat, they immediately divided their troops into two groups and went all the way down the river to look for the Chen family of three, riding fast horses along the river bank. The three members of the Chen family cannot drift on the water for a lifetime and will always go ashore to replenish their supplies.

 …

 Early the next morning, the news of Taishi Lin's death and the confiscation of the Lin family were spread among the people. For a time, the people were talking about it, no less than the previous fraud case in the examination room. Even the two major events of King Heng being placed under house arrest and Mr. Lin being beheaded (Lin Guifei) were only mentioned a few words and nothing more. There was a sound.

Many people among the scholars suspected that Emperor Hui'an had harmed Zhongliang and forced Taishi Lin to death. This suspicion was dispelled until the news came out that Taishi Lin was posthumously granted the title of Marquis Wenzhong and was buried with the honors of a duke.

Not long after, Mr. Lin and Concubine Lin conspired to poison the late empress, and manipulated the recent fraud case in the examination room to be exposed. Only then did those people understand why the Lin family was ransacked, and why Taishi Lin swallowed gold and committed suicide. Tiring!

Thinking of the things that Mr. Lin and Concubine Lin had done that could annihilate the entire clan, Emperor Hui'an posthumously named Grand Master Lin the title of Duke Wenzhong, giving this imperial master of the Three Dynasties the final dignity. He couldn't help but sigh that he was lucky enough to meet a benevolent emperor.

 The storm that was about to be stirred up by Taishi Lin's death was eliminated.

After Taishi Lin's glorious funeral, the deposed king Chu Ye was sent back to Prince Heng's Mansion. The plaque on the gate of Prince Heng's Mansion, which represents the prince's status, has been taken back by Emperor Hui'an. From now on, it is just a gorgeous cage.

The Lin family was destroyed and King Heng was imprisoned. This meant that the two knives that threatened the Mo family were gone. The Mo family father and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that seven days have passed since Chen Ji escaped. The three people seemed to have disappeared from the world. No matter how many people searched everywhere, there was still no trace of the three people.

Mo Yan knew that the longer the delay, the slimmer the chance of finding it. She was unwilling to let Chen Ji escape, but she had no way to find out his whereabouts.

On this day, she couldn't help but ask Xue Tuanzi again about Chen Ji's whereabouts, but Xue Tuanzi asked her another question seriously: "Yan Yan, Chen Ji's crime is too big. If he is found, not only will he die. His wife and daughter will also die. In this case, do you still want him to be found?"

"Of course!" Mo Yan replied without thinking. Just as she was about to ask Xue Tuanzi why she asked such an obvious question, she realized what Xue Tuanzi was asking, and her face suddenly changed...
