Yun Chen also didn't expect things to develop to such a point, facing Master Wu's question, he couldn't answer for a while. Although the second lady was not killed by him, his previous negligence led to the death of the second lady. In any case, he was responsible for the death of the second lady.
In the dark night, the courtyard was red with torches, as if stained with blood.
The second lady's body was lying on the floor of the boudoir. No one could imagine that a girl who was fine at dinner before became a cold body.
Master Wu held his dead daughter in his arms and cried and cried, and the surrounding guards glared at Yun Chen and the maidservant. Someone yelled: "Shangxian and maidservant killed the second lady!"
It was this ridiculous remark that instantly changed the attitude of the people around them towards the two of them. Each of them had their own guesses in their minds, but the results were the same. They all felt that it was Yunchen. And the maid killed the second lady.
Yun Chen didn't excuse him, and he didn't know the idea of guarding this group of people.
He only felt that this was a misunderstanding. As long as Master Wu calmed down from his grief, he would be able to explain to him clearly what had happened. As for the maid, she was innocent, she didn't know anything, she was just frightened.
With such thoughts, a night passed quietly.
Early the next morning, he did not wait for Master Wu to appear, but waited for the officials to come.
The first time the officials came to Wu's House, they arrested him and the maid who was frightened last night.
Yun Chen didn't resist, he felt that he could definitely explain clearly, so he went to court with them.
Kneeling down on the court hall, the prefect convicted the two of them.
"Taoist Yunchen colluded with the maidservant of Wu Mansion inside and out, killing Wu Mansion subordinates over and over again, using ghosts and gods to cover up his own guilt, and finally was discovered by the second young lady of Wu Family. She wanted to stop, but was brutally killed by the two..."
Yun Chen stared, and wanted to open his mouth to defend, but was stopped. The prefect above didn't give him a chance to explain at all. He directly ordered to give him thirty boards first, then put him in prison, and ask him after the autumn!
When the maid heard these words, she was already limp on the ground and unable to move. She was pressed on the ground and started to move the board.
"No, sir, listen to me, things are not like this!" Yun Chen panicked and wanted to explain, but the yaman next to him directly put a board on his mouth, and blood flowed suddenly, making him speechless. , Then, he was pressed to the ground and started to pull the board.
"Ah!" The maid on the side screamed a few times at first, but eventually fainted because of the unbearable pain.
Yun Chen gritted his teeth and remembered the words he had told his master before going down the mountain.
When you encounter a monster, you must be killed, and you must not keep your hands.
It was precisely because I hesitated at the time that I fell to this end after listening to the words of those two ladies
Why! I, Yunchen, acted upright and kindly helped them. Why did I end up like this? I am not reconciled, I am not reconciled.
Enduring the severe pain, he gritted his teeth and forced himself into a coma, but he did not cut off his six senses. After the 30th board was over, he heard the prefect said: "Go to prison."
The Ya Ya took the two of them to prepare to press into the prison. After leaving the court, on the way to the prison, Yun Chen opened his eyes, resisting the severe pain behind him, and glanced around. There were only four Ya Ya servants. He stretched out his hand and touched the middle of his sleeve. I pinched the two charms on the cuffs and threw the two charms out in a hurry.
boom! boom!
In an instant, two dazzling fire lights flickered in front of the four government officials, making them unable to open their eyes.
Yun Chen took this opportunity to pick up the fainted maid, and her figure fluttered and disappeared.
The four officials came back to their senses and saw that the two they were holding had disappeared. They panicked and hurriedly shouted: "The prisoner has escaped!"
Yun Chen did not dare to stay longer in Yangzhou City. Although the pain behind him was unbearable, he had no feeling about it after closing the six senses. Although doing so would cause a lot of damage to the wound, he did not want to escape for his life now. Way out.
As for the maid on his back, he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he couldn't let it go. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with her. It was only because of his own sake that she was implicated. If she didn't take her away, there would only be a dead end.
He galloped all the way without stopping. With half a stick of fragrant work, he came to the gate of the city out of breath, watching the streets and the officers and soldiers at the gate of the surrounding people. He did not stop, carrying a maid on his back, and was caught in a car. Ran out beside the carriage.
The officers and soldiers didn't feel strange after seeing them. With so many people coming in and out of the city gate every day, there will always be some strange people appearing.
Seeing that he ran out safely, Yun Chen slowed down and walked forward aimlessly.
His footsteps began to float, and the pain on his buttocks gradually came, making him unsteady, but now is not the time to stop, the officers and soldiers behind him are likely to catch up, and he must leave quickly.
He just wanted to go back to the mountain, go back to the division, and leave this place of right and wrong.
He didn't intend to take the waterway. After all, the waterway was not safe, so he could only run into the wilderness and deep mountains.
For about two hours or so, he was exhausted and could no longer support it. The maid on his back woke up at this time, feeling the pain of a tear on his body, and asked weakly: "This is, where?"
Yun Chen saw a deserted thatched house in front of him, and said as he walked: "I don't know, but... we escaped..."
After saying this, he walked to the front of the thatched hut, closed his eyes, and fell directly to the ground.
The maid was also thrown out, screaming, looking at the strange environment around her in confusion, not knowing where she was.
She looked at Yunchen lying on the ground and the thatched hut with no one on the side. She wanted to pull him into the house, but when she moved, she fell to the ground with pain. There was no strength to pull him.
Rumbling.
There was a sudden thunder in the gloomy sky, and the maid only noticed that today's sky is gloomy, and it is definitely going to rain.
Wow!
The heavy rain fell instantly, frightening her at a loss.
"No, you can't let the gods rain."
She endured the severe pain, stood up with the thatched hut, pulled the clouds and dust on the ground in the heavy rain, and entered the ruined and ruined thatched hut. There was a soil kang with some roughness on it, and several intact ones. The dishes, but they are all covered with dust.
Although the house is rudimentary, the roof is not leaking. There is heavy rain outside the house. Except for some rainwater that will drift near the windows, there is no other leaks.
The maid felt relieved. Although she didn't know what happened, she was still alive.
