Mu Jingrui never believed that Liu Xian dared to cause such a big storm just by just a small boat.
After Liu Xian left, Mu Jingrui thought about it and felt that it was not a solution to hold on to the army for a long time.
He was about to secretly urge Ge Shuyan to act as soon as possible, and the confidant sent out sneaked back to the camp overnight.
"what happen?"
Seeing that only one of the eight people sent out, and was seriously injured and covered in blood, Mu Jingrui immediately realized that the situation was not good.
He quickly stepped forward, tapped several major acupoints on his confidant's body, and used his skills to heal his wounds.
After a long time, the face of my confidant gradually improved.
He forced himself to breathe a sigh of relief and looked at Mu Jingrui and said with difficulty: "I'm sorry, my subordinates and others... have failed in the execution of the mission."
"What the hell is going on?"
"Ge Shuyan personally led his subordinates and others to sneak into the secret room of Wuji Gate. Unexpectedly... Wuji Gate is not only a master, but also has many mechanisms. Although his subordinates and others have also studied ambushing the mechanism, they are not well-educated in the end."
"Twenty-two people went there, including subordinates, Ge Shuyan and others, and only one of them escaped. The other brothers... are afraid there will be a lot of danger."
After saying that, he was so tired that he sat on the chair.
Mu Jingrui's heart couldn't help but sink. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is Brother Shuyan?"
"She was still alive when my subordinate escaped, as for now..."
"I understand. You can rest first, I will deal with other matters."
Mu Jingrui's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but frown deeply.
It seems that this Wuji Sect is much more complicated than he imagined.
Shangguan Wanning received the news from Mu Jingrui from the camp and was secretly anxious.
Brother Shuyan fell into the hands of Wuji Sect. No matter whether it is life or death, he would probably suffer some humiliation.
Shangguan Wanning burned the letter sent by Mu Jingrui, stood by the window in a daze.
Soon, the maid Grape walked in.
"Princess, someone from outside sent a letter indicating that it was for you."
"Is there another letter?" Shangguan Wanning felt strange, hesitated for a moment and took it to open it. The content inside surprised and delighted her.
She hid the letter quickly and turned to remind her, "Don't tell anyone about the letter I have sent to me, do you understand?"
"I understand."
Seeing that Grape seemed a little scared, Shangguan Wanning picked off her bracelet and gave it to her.
"Remember, you were my person who bought me by Lord Mu. As long as you are loyal to me, I will take you back to the capital. Follow me, no one can bully you."
Grape looked at the bracelet in his hand, thought carefully about Shangguan Wanning's words, and immediately smiled.
"Don't worry, princess, I will follow you wholeheartedly."
"I'm going out and you can protect me and don't let anyone know."
Shangguan Wanning changed into the clothes worn by the maids and crawled out through the window.
She sneaked out of the back door and headed straight to Yunlai Inn on the west street of Chengxi Street.
"Miss."
Huo Gang was waiting for her outside the door and welcomed her into the room.
"See Princess."
An old woman stood up tremblingly and bowed down, Shangguan Wanning hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up.
"No need to be polite, please sit down."
Shangguan Wanning looked at Huo Gang with confusion.
Huo Gang explained: "Miss, she is Qin Liu's wife and Ling Yuwen's wet nurse."
Shangguan Wanning was secretly surprised.
"I went to find the former magistrate, but he did not give up investigating the Ling family's father and son. However, because he changed the place, his progress was very slow. But God had a vision, and Ling Yuwen's wet nurse happened to be in the place under his jurisdiction.
”
"Mr. Magistrate and I visited her and told her the major case that Ling Yuwen committed in the capital. She said that she was willing to follow us to Beijing to report Ling Yuwen and expose his evil deeds."
Shangguan Wanning looked at Qin Liushi, and saw her lips trembling slightly, and tears flashing in her eyes.
"I really didn't expect that... the child I raised would do such things that were worse than beasts again and again. The young master... he was very obedient when he was a child..."
Qin Liu was crying continuously, and Shangguan Wanning carefully handed over her handkerchief and helped her sit down.
"When a murder occurred in Southeast Prefecture...you know?"
Qin Liu was silent for a long time, wiped away tears and sighed heavily.
"Actually, when the second murder occurred, I already knew that it was the young master. Those days, the young master was feeling uncomfortable and it rained heavily at night. I was worried, so I got up in the middle of the night to take a look, and the result...
I saw the young master carrying a girl into the room."
"I thought it was very strange at that time, because..." Qin Liu stopped at this point, avoided Shangguan Wanning's gaze awkwardly, and hesitated for a long time before continuing, "Because the young master... he has never been humane.
”
"What?"
Shangguan Wanning was surprised and then frowned again. "Since he can't... then why are those girls..."
"I also found it strange. I originally thought that the young master had just found a maid in the mansion. I thought that it was not a big deal. If the young master's illness could be cured, it would be the blessing of that girl."
"I kept hiding outside the window and peeking. I found that the young master was chasing the girl while performing the rituals of Zhou Gong. This time he had no obstacles, but... afterwards, he killed the girl."
Qin Liu seemed to remember the situation at that time, and his face was a little pale.
"I was frightened at that time and didn't dare to speak out at all. I saw the young master hiding the girl's bellyband and sent the body out. The next day I heard that a lady from a noble family was brutally killed.
The body was also hung on the big willow tree at the gate of the city..."
"Since then, a girl would be killed every once in a while. When I was cleaning the room for the young master, I saw several bellybands with different colors and embroidery. Later, the master wanted to go to Beijing to report his work, and the whole Ling family was the one who had the whole family.
All the people went to the capital."
"I originally thought that the young master could reform himself by changing his environment. I resigned to them on the grounds of being old and weak. Who knew... he would still be like this when he arrived in the capital..."
Shangguan Wanning couldn't help but sigh.
"Would you like to go back to the capital with me to prove Ling Yuwen?" Shangguan Wanning shook Qin Liu's hand, "I promise you that you will definitely protect your safety."
Qin Liu couldn't help but burst into tears.
"I raised the young master, I treat him as my biological son...but..." Qin Liu said in tears, "Princess, I'll go... I'll go back to Beijing with you. I can't let other girls suffer anymore
.”
Shangguan Wanning and Huo Gang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
