Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1048: Get to the bottom of it

There was actually no conspiracy in the whole thing. Neither the people in the north wanted to cause trouble, nor did the powerful people in Liuzhou want the princess to die. It was actually caused by gambling debts.

Who would have thought of this?

The two men who kidnapped the princess planned to put her in a hunter's house first and let the woodcutter take care of her. The hunter would take the opportunity to go to the city to sell furs to find out whose daughter was lost so that he could blackmail her for money.

But before all this was implemented, Tang Wenhu, the creditor, came to the door.

Tang Wenhu listened to the two people's narration verbatim, and he had a new idea in his mind.

Taking hostages in exchange for money is one way, but the method of the two gamblers is too stupid. Even if they give you money, how can you take it? Do you go to their house openly?
Once someone reports it to the police, you will all be at a loss.

So Tang Wenhu's eyes turned and he came up with a new idea.

When the woodcutter went home to change clothes, he followed him and stabbed him to death with a sword. Then he rushed to the hunter's house and intended to stab him to death, but he missed the target and did not kill him on the spot.

Tang Wenhu didn't check it carefully. He stuffed the princess into the fur and drove the carriage back to the city.

At this time, Yang Yiyi had just found the village not long ago, and perhaps on the way to the village, she had met the carriage driven by Tang Wenhu.

What was even more coincidental was that just as Tang Wenhu had just passed by, or even just entered the city, the palace guards and the yamen runners began to block the traffic, giving him a very precise time difference. Otherwise, he would have been stopped halfway. It was simply a joke from God.

Tang Wenhu felt that it was too risky for a kidnapper to ask for money. In that case, I would be the one who rescued the young lady and asked them for money. There shouldn't be any risk, right?

He stabbed the two men to death because he was afraid that they would let the cat out of the bag. They were just two peasants. Even if people found out that it was Tang Wenhu who killed them, he was not afraid at all. With the power of his family, it would be a piece of cake to settle the matter.

Then, the princess was taken to the casino in a carriage until Yang Yiyi came over.

This is how the whole thing went, but everyone who saw the results of the investigation, whether it was the palace guards or Princess Mingzhu, felt their heads buzzing.

Hundreds of palace guards, the highest level of security in Liuzhou State, were actually found to have a loophole by two gamblers, and it was a complete coincidence.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the princess. If anything had gone wrong, the Emperor of Liuzhou would not have to take any action, but the palace guards would probably have committed suicide, which was too embarrassing.

The princess has been found and the report has come out, but the matter is still not over.

Although the princess was abducted by accident, it cannot be considered kidnapping.

The woodcutter was already dead, so he had escaped a disaster. However, the hunter was still alive, but he was almost as good as dead. Anyway, he was charged with kidnapping the princess and would definitely be sentenced to death, and the death penalty would not be a painless death.

The only lucky thing is that the hunter has no parents or children, and he is addicted to gambling all day long and no girl is willing to marry him. He is still a bachelor. Otherwise, his whole family would have to go on the road because of this.

Although the Tang brothers took over the business unexpectedly, they were still involved, and nothing good will come of it for them.

As soon as the princess returned to Lingyun Temple, the imperial guards brought runners to raid the Tang brothers' house. They threw all of them into jail, and they even took away the chickens.

The ending of this group of people will obviously not be a happy one. After all, the princess was found in your casino, and she also testified that you were planning to sell her to a brothel.

Let's talk about reason. Those who dare to sell the princess to a brothel are really bold. Passers-by didn't know what happened. They just saw a large number of yamen runners and even soldiers were dispatched to send the Tang brothers and their family to jail. The pedestrians on the street applauded and the market was filled with a happy atmosphere.

It can be seen how much these two grandsons are hated.

Moreover, as the saying goes, if you pull out a radish, you will bring out the mud. The Tang brothers are so arrogant, they must have a protective umbrella backing them up.

The disappearance of the princess is such a major event that they will not just investigate it casually. They must investigate it thoroughly. Following the clue of the Tang brothers, it is estimated that the government offices near Wangyun Mountain will also be reshuffled. The county magistrate is sitting at home and happily receiving a fixed-term imprisonment. It is really a good thing...

Of course, it will take more than a day or two to find out who to arrest and how much involvement is involved. The palace guards have already sent an urgent report back, and someone will soon be responsible for taking over. The princess does not need to worry about this part, as everyone on this line will definitely die clearly.

As for the killer from Anxiangtang, the palace guards asked Yang Yiyi's opinion and confirmed that he had nothing to do with the whole incident. Since no more information could be obtained, they just found a random place to bury him.

what?
You said we caught a killer?
Why didn't I see it?

The most outrageous thing about the whole incident was that no one had expected that the people who kidnapped the princess were actually two addicted gamblers. From the palace guards to Yang Yiyi and the others, and then to Li Chengxi, they all felt that there must be a conspiracy behind this matter, and that the people in the north were the most suspicious.

Who knew this would be the result? Li Chengxi almost sprained his waist after reading the report from the palace guards.

Damn, I thought too much.

But no matter what, the result is OK, and there are good things about this matter.

Since there was a killer in Jingci Temple who had already targeted Yang Yiyi, the fact that she helped Ning Xianer deliver the letter might have been discovered, or at least the information had been confirmed.

Secondly, the palace guards got a lot of information from the killer about how Anxiangtang contacted others. Liuzhou State would certainly not allow such a dangerous organization to operate within its territory, and it would not be long before a purge would take place.

Next, when Yang Yiyi leaves Lingyun Temple and heads to Luoxia Ferry to meet up with Ning Xianer, she needs to be extra careful, as Anxiangtang may send new killers.

But that's for the future.

The princess returned, and the people in Lingyun Temple were released from surveillance and interrogation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The princess seemed to be somewhat happy about the experience of being kidnapped. She started to pester Yang Yiyi and the others and asked if they could teach her some Kung Fu.

Moreover, the princess did not seem to be frightened and planned to hold the blessing ceremony as scheduled.

However, due to the princess being kidnapped, the blessing ceremony originally scheduled for today will definitely not be held, and we have to choose another auspicious day.

In other words, the princess has to stay in Lingyun Temple for a few more days.

But the princess was not frightened, but the palace guards and the Taoist priests of Lingyun Temple were very scared. From then on, not only did the palace guards guard her more strictly, but the Taoist priests of Lingyun Temple also specially arranged people to patrol nearby, for fear that the princess would score again.

Yang Yiyi found an opportunity to hand the letter to the abbot, but maybe because he had not yet responded to the shock he received, the abbot did not open the letter. After learning that it was from the Palace Master of Tianjue Palace, he carefully put it in his arms.

It is indeed a bit outrageous. Yang Yiyi helped deliver several letters, but she had no idea what was written in the letters, but they felt like they were very important.
