Chapter 129: The Unlucky Prefect and the Runaway Saint
The reason why Chu Luchen came a little late was because he wanted to capture the voluptuous woman alive, so he was delayed for a while.
He also thought that the bandits had no big reaction, so Wan Qing should be fine too.
But after he caught the man, Wan Qing and the head master still didn't come back. Feeling slightly uneasy, he asked Chi Hong to go secretly before he learned the news that they had been beaten.
After a small group of people were assigned to Chu Luyi to take care of the female bandit, they hurried down the mountain with the troops. Unfortunately, they arrived a step too late.
Still regretting his decision, Chu Luchen, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a furry thing moving around his hand. His heart trembled. He saw Wan Qing pitifully looking for a more comfortable position in the small space, and his heart filled with emotion.
The panic subsided again.
"Would this be better?" Chu Luchen asked Wan Qing to lean half against him, then folded part of the cushion over and placed it on Wan Qing's side.
Wan Qing nodded, yawned, and dozed off to the sound of the wheels.
Looking at Wan Qing's still red nose, Chu Luchen sighed with a bitter smile, shook his head and let her fall asleep.
The prefect had already been secretly taught a lesson by Bage, so when he saw Chu Luchen coming, he was so frightened that he couldn't even say a word. He only saw Chu Luchen looking angry and funny.
"I won't punish you for the time being. You can try another case for me. If I am satisfied, your punishment may be smaller. If I am not satisfied, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped!" Chu Luchen
The person sitting in the sedan did not show his face again, and a frightening voice came out through the invisible curtain.
If Wan Qing was dissatisfied with the noise and blocked it for a while, I'm afraid the power would be even more terrifying.
"Yes, yes, the guilty minister obeys the order." The new magistrate did not know that he would offend the nobles from the imperial capital by not paying attention, and kept kowtowing.
Looking at his appearance, one can also guess that the woman he accidentally captured last time is no longer in danger, so he can save her life.
But this man still wouldn't let him go, which shows that this woman's status in his heart is definitely not low. She should be a noble person.
In order to save his life, the prefect thought carefully about the possible identities of the two people, but finally climbed back to the high position without daring to breathe heavily, pretending and fearfully to start the trial of the recent case.
The big boss was interrogated again, and he couldn't help but laugh when he heard that the new prefect was stammering when he spoke.
Because the two cells were far apart, the head of the family did not know about Wan Qing's affairs. He thought that the prefect knew about Chu'er's abilities and was planning to beg for mercy. This attitude became much worse.
Seeing the boss blowing his beard and glaring at him, the new prefect gave him ten more boards in anger. Hearing the sound of the fan breaking in the sedan chair, the prefect suddenly trembled and thought it was over.
"Okay! This method of investigating the case is wonderful!" Listening to Chu Luchen's painless cheers, the new prefect immediately slapped himself several times and begged for mercy.
"Tell me. How did you become this official? Did you buy it? Or, who gave it to you?" Chu Luchen opened the curtain, silently looked at the prefect, and looked at each other again with the big boss.
"Jiu Ying, knock them unconscious and take them to another courtyard." Chu Luchen gave instructions in a low voice, and Jiu Ying immediately took action, quickly tied them up and handed them over to Chi Hong.
The other courtyard refers to Qishafang. Since it is inconvenient to reveal it, Chu Luchen always refers to it this way.
"Master, you take his place temporarily. In three days, a new prefect will take office." Chu Luchen twitched the corner of his mouth and ordered Brother Bage to go directly to the mountain.
After hearing Chu Luchen talk about three days later, Yu Chixun's handsome face fell.
Three days later, to put it nicely, how can they have any spare manpower now?
And we still don’t know if we can reach the military camp in three days. Who can free up?
So, in the end, the matter fell on myself.
"He who is able will work harder. If you can find someone who is qualified in these three days, just rush over and join me." Chu Luchen knew Yu Chixun's temper well.
As the youngest member of the Yuchi family, he has his eldest brother, a military commander, and his third brother, Hanlin, so he has always been suppressed.
Although there is wisdom in one's mind, there is nowhere to use it. Although there are countless strategies, no one wants to listen.
Therefore, when my younger self consulted him just because of a small problem, I immediately talked endlessly, wishing to tell him everything.
Even when I got older, I still felt that I had the gift of knowledge, so I was always willing to do whatever I was told.
It's just that when we get along with each other, it becomes more and more insignificant.
"Yes. I will definitely come over in three days. But I'll lend it to Jiang Zizhen first." Yu Chixun grinned and pulled Jiang Zizhen onto the horse without saying a word.
He seemed to be calling Wan Qing for help, but unfortunately, Wan Qing was sleeping soundly and didn't want to wake up.
After reuniting with Zhuo Bei and others, Chu Luchen only went up the mountain, but saw that his men and horses were nowhere to be seen, and the village was also deserted. He frowned.
"Luyi?" Chu Luchen's panicked voice echoed in the empty village, but he soon received a response. A wet Chu Luyi emerged from the water tank with only one-third of the water in it.
He threw himself into Chu Luchen's arms intact, talking intermittently about the danger he had just encountered.
Last night, after Chu Luchen had his acupuncture points cleared by the Qi Sha Fang subordinates, Chu Er also forced his way through the acupuncture points and tried to escape. However, Chu Luchen turned around and surrounded him with quick reactions, and finally did not escape.
As soon as Chu Luchen left, a middle-aged woman wrapped in black clothes suddenly appeared. She killed all the people in the village with three strikes, and took Chu Er away.
He also sprinkled corpse powder before leaving. That's why the village looked like an empty city.
"Then how did you escape?" Chu Luchen repeatedly confirmed that Chu Luyi was not injured and then looked around. Seventeen quickly appeared and knelt down to wait for instructions.
Although Qisha's belongings were somewhat damaged, at least there were no casualties.
"How did you avoid it?" Chu Luchen frowned and waited for Shi Qi's answer.
"That woman killed people with a purpose, specifically to kill people in this village. She just left us as soon as we came into contact with her. Therefore, it was no big deal to us. Before the fight started, the subordinates hurriedly hid the fourth prince in the water tank.
In the middle, let him wait for the return of the second prince before showing up again, in case they try to counterattack."
"Qisha belongs to four people who are staying in this village. No one is allowed to enter. After I finish my work, I must check the village thoroughly." Chu Luchen frowned and came out with only about Qisha.
There are twenty people in the camp. There are four people left here. There seems to be a little less security. When we arrive at the military camp, it is best to let Chihong make another trip and recruit more manpower. "Lüyi, hurry up and get on your way."
