Chapter 140: Missing

Chapter 140 Missing

Princess Yu, who followed, also saw it, her face turned pale, and she said with trembling lips:

"Why, why isn't it here? Could it be that he went back alone..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, almost crying. The rest of the ladies also turned pale with fright,

Thinking of the two wives who appeared out of nowhere, they finally realized something belatedly.

Cui Lingling glanced at Gongfang, picked up a jade pendant that had been broken in two from a corner, put it together, and asked several people in a deep voice: "Have you ever seen this jade?"

Several people glanced at it, and Princess Yu said hesitantly: "I seem to have seen it in the other courtyard of the West Palace. It is... the second prince of Beidi..."

Her voice froze, thinking of what happened on the hunting ground before, her face couldn't help but turn paler.

Cui Lingling was lucky, and said in a low voice: "Quickly go and inform the empress, and let people seal the Huguo Temple."

…

At the same moment, at a remote back door of Huguo Temple, a monk with a hunchback was pushing a cart filled with swill and walking slowly forward.

The guard guards frowned in disgust, and let people leave without careful inspection.

Two playful young monks passed by, glanced at the hunchbacked monk, and one of them asked curiously:

"Why did Shande go out so early today, isn't it usually getting dark?"

"I don't know, maybe a nobleman came to the temple today."

The little novice monk who spoke at the beginning always felt that something was wrong, and it took a long while before he slapped his forehead and realized that the cart did not seem to belong to their temple.

…

Meanwhile, Feng Lisheng was heading for Suzhou with a pair of people,

According to the report of the sergeant who came back from Suzhou, a group of bandits gathered in Pingjiang County three years ago, and the county magistrate sent there did not do anything, so that the officials and bandits colluded.

It made the people complain, and because the daughter of a rich family was raped by bandits, the government wholeheartedly protected the bandits.

The wealthy households were furious, and many young and middle-aged men in the ultimate city went to the government.

Feng Wuwen, who was following behind, asked the general of the sound test: "Although Pingjiang County is a lower county, there is a lot of bandits colluding. It is impossible for the governor of Suzhou to not know about it? Why did it come out when something happened?"

The general did not speak, but glanced at His Royal Highness King Su's condensed face, and secretly thought that after this incident, the governor of Suzhou Prefecture might not even think about it.

At this moment, a carrier pigeon flew over not far away.

Feng Lisheng took off the bamboo tube, and after reading it, he frowned.

Feng Wu asked: "What happened?"

Feng Lisheng handed him the letter paper: "The news from Yang Dayang's second biography said that Cheng Geer had disappeared."

Feng Wu asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Cheng Geer knew something in advance?"

Feng Lisheng sent Yang Dayang and Yang Er to find an opportunity to kill each other on Cheng Geer's way back home.

Feng Lisheng was also thinking about it, he didn't think Yi Chenger's mind could actively guess what he was going to do, unless someone specifically instructed him.

Then what is the purpose of the other party? For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

He ordered a personal soldier and asked the other party to return to Beijing to see if the princess was well.

Until half an hour later, a goshawk flew overhead,

Feng Wu was shocked when he heard this familiar voice,

This eagle is called Lightning, and it was captured and domesticated by Feng Lisheng with great effort. Things that are not urgent are usually not dispatched easily.

Feng Lisheng clenched the reins even more, and the goshawk stood still in front of Feng Lisheng, flapped its shiny wings, and called softly at him.

Feng Lisheng froze his hands to take off the bamboo tube hanging around his neck. After reading it, his face changed, he didn't care about anything, and without a word, he wanted to go back. The lieutenant quickly grabbed him:

"Your Highness, you can't go back. Now the people in Pingjiang County are full of grievances. Only you can suppress them."

If it's just a riot, then the Suzhou garrison is enough to deal with it. But now it has aroused public grievances, and the people have lost trust in the government and the court. Therefore, force shock is still secondary, and the most important thing is to have someone with a high enough status to shake the place and appease the people.

Feng Lisheng picked up a pen and quickly wrote a letter with his own seal on it,

"Give this letter to Mr. Suzhou Prefecture, and I will let the prince pass when I return to Beijing."

No one is more suitable than the prince of a country, and the prince's character is too soft after all, so he has to sharpen it.

By the time he came to Dao Huguo Temple in a hurry, it had been nearly two hours since Shen Mingjiao disappeared.

The entire Huguo Temple has been surrounded by the Forbidden Army.

Feng Lisheng had a sullen face, and kicked over the door holding his breath. He rode directly towards the main hall and galloped away.

The queen and several concubines and wives are all there, and the rituals for the queen mother have long since stopped. All the monks in the entire temple are guarded.

The queen saw Feng Lisheng who was busy with the world, sighed and said: "It's the emperor's wife who is negligent and didn't take good care of my younger siblings."

Hearing these words, Feng Lisheng let go of the breath he had been holding in his heart. Until now, with the facts in front of him, he had no choice but to believe that Shen Mingjiao had really disappeared.

There was a momentary blank in his mind, thinking of what might happen to Shen Mingjiao, his heart felt like a knife.

He forced himself to calm down, the most important thing now is to find Shen Mingjiao.

He looked at the queen. "Can the queen's wife tell me everything before and after the disappearance of the princess."
