Chapter 1300 Chapter 1300
Just as he was about to prick up his ears to listen carefully, Qin Qingdong, along with Chun Ge and two guards, finished arguing with the monk and returned to Yingshizhai. Seeing the servants in front of He Wenhan guarding the door, he turned around and tried to enter, but Alu stopped him and said, "Second Master, my young mistress is--"
"I know!"
Qin Qingdong didn't take it seriously. He walked straight up to him, greeted Lord He, and found the only empty seat to sit down. "I want to hear who is desperate in this imperial city!"
He Wenhan nodded slightly, "Not only are you all so angry, but I also feel that the thief is crazy when I first heard it."
After that, he bowed and looked at Song Guanzhou, "Young Madam, please tell us in detail."
Song Guanzhou pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, sir, Guanzhou will not hide any details that will help solve the case."
After saying this, he picked up the words that had just been interrupted by the little monk.
"Suddenly, there was a voice outside saying that the fire had been put out. Soon, thick smoke filled the dormitory. Linshan protected me and two maids and we left. As the fire grew bigger, more monks came and went. Just as we were trying to find the women of the mansion, a crossbow arrow shot at us."
"Crossbow?"
"Yes."
Song Guanzhou nodded in confirmation.
"The first arrow was going to hit my forehead, but was blocked by Linshan. Thanks to Linshan, the subsequent crossbow arrows didn't hurt me. In this critical situation, Zhuanggu and Rendong, the two women who served me, supported me and hurriedly fled. Unexpectedly, before we had gone far, Zhuanggu was knocked to the ground by the young monks who were carrying water and buckets, and sprained her ankle."
"So it's getting even more chaotic now?"
"Yes, the fire was turning around all the way, and it was so choking that we couldn't tell the direction. Honeysuckle supported me and we didn't walk far, but we found that the place was remote. When we were about to retreat, I heard footsteps."
"Are they the monks or the people from the mansion looking for the young lady?"
"neither."
Song Guanzhou lowered his head and thought for a moment. "At that time, I knew that the situation was dangerous and I couldn't rely on luck. I thought that Rendong was weak and couldn't walk far with me, so I just hid myself and looked for a chance to escape."
He Wenhan glanced at Song Guanzhou's cane and nodded in praise, "Young Madam is brave and resourceful, and she remained calm in times of danger. This is admirable."
"Oh! Your Excellency is too kind. It was only for the sake of survival that my master and I hid in the abandoned Buddhist temple. During that time, I pulled out the gilded brass hairpin from my hair and held it in my hand, hiding behind the prayer flags. Honeysuckle was agile and found a small brass incense burner weighing several kilograms, held it in my hand, and stepped on the broken debris to climb up the beam."
Hearing this, Pei An took a breath.
"Wouldn't it be more dangerous if you hid down there?"
Song Guanzhou pointed at his injured leg and said, "I would like to climb up, but I am powerless. Honeysuckle can climb up. If I am in danger, she may be able to help me from her high position."
At the very least, it would be better for one person to escape than for both of them to die here.
Of course, Song Guanzhou would certainly not say that she was filled with deep indignation at that time and almost wanted to die together with him.
Killing one won’t cost you anything, but killing two will guarantee you profit.
Of course, she also knew that she was half disabled and a weak woman, and her decline was inevitable. As for how to reverse the situation, Song Guanzhou had thought of almost all the strategies, including the beauty trap.
Which is more important, face or life?
Nature is fate.
Song Guanzhou took a sip of hot tea and continued, "As I expected, right after I hid myself and before I had time to think about it, the two thieves had already entered the temple with short knives in hand. They were the first to be attacked and started hacking at the bottom of the altar. Fortunately, my master and I were not hiding there, otherwise there would be no consequences."
She spoke calmly and slowly, unaware that He Wenhan could hear the turmoil in her voice.
He never thought that the pretty girl in the backyard could be so courageous. After hearing what happened next, even if he had heard of many shocking unsolved murder cases, he could not hide his gaffe.
"You actually took the initiative to attack?"
He Wenhan asked in a lost voice, Pei An and Qin Qingdong were also dumbfounded, "Song Guanzhou, you are so bold!"
When she heard that Song Guanzhou saw one of the thieves crouching to search behind the Buddha statue, she actually jumped onto the thief's back with a hairpin in her hand, and killed him with a flick of the hairpin!
"What's the big deal? Both Rendong and I are weak women. If we don't take the initiative and catch the enemy by surprise, how can we escape? Linshan was tightly entangled by the thief with a bow and crossbow, and he was separated from us. If I didn't think about saving myself, I would definitely be the one dying in that pool of blood."
When Pei An and He Wenhan entered the room and saw the bloody hole on the long-faced thief's neck, they had some guesses but were not sure.
His wife is still lame? !
"and after?"
It was so wonderful, more vivid than any storyteller's, that Qin Qingdong was amazed and urged Song Guanzhou.
"And then, he didn't die."
"what?"
The four men looked at him in unison. Song Guanzhou touched his cheek and said, "I luckily punctured his artery. Blood spurted out, but he won't die immediately. So, he threw me off his back and tried to chop me with a dagger, but I rolled and crawled to avoid it."
With that, she lifted her narrow sleeve, revealing a patch of bloody flesh the size of half a palm on her fair and delicate skin. "This is what I got when I scraped against the ground while dodging."
At this moment, Pei An didn't care that there were outsiders present. He immediately held her wrist and called the maid.
"No problem. I will first recount the situation to Lord He so that Lord He can find out the murderer on my back as soon as possible."
"… Let's take care of the wound first."
Pei An's eyes were full of distress. Qin Qingdong had already opened his mouth to greet A'lu. Song Guanzhou pulled his sleeve over the distance and said, "Sit down, Qin Er, this little injury is nothing. I have many wounds all over my body. If I need to deal with it, I will go back to the mansion to take a bath and wash off all the fishy smell and blood on my body. Only then can I deal with them one by one."
He Wenhan was amazed.
The fourth young lady is extraordinarily calm and composed. If she hadn't been trapped in the harem, she would have surely achieved great success.
"Please continue talking, Madam. After finishing the work as soon as possible, you can return home and cleanse the turbid air of today."
"Thank you, sir. Then Guan Zhou will continue."
At this point, she glanced at Pei An and Qin Qingdong on the left and right, "Fourth Brother, Second Brother Qin, don't interrupt me. The matter is not complicated and can be explained in a few words."
Pei An held his forehead with his hand, "Madam, just say whatever you want. Xi Hui and I will never speak again."
Song Guanzhou snorted and continued, "The thief who was searching for us from the other side of the temple heard the noise and ran over immediately. When I had no chance to escape, the thief had already grabbed my hair and was about to lift my head and cut my neck with a knife. When Rendong saw the thief running towards me, he couldn't help but smash the incense burner from the beam, but it was a pity that it was knocked crooked."
"what--"
"Just as the thief's knife was about to touch my neck, Lin Shan arrived. He snatched the crossbow and shot an arrow, which pierced the thief's wrist holding the knife. The dagger fell beside me with a clang. I didn't think much about it, I picked it up and stabbed it hard behind me..."
