Chapter 298 Confession
Lu Chengping rushed to the Dali Temple to report the case, only to find that the Dali Temple official, Lord Gao, was not there.
In his haste, he grabbed the person next to him.
"Lord Gong, I have urgent business to attend to. Please find Lord Gao for me immediately!"
"My lord, Lord Gao has gone out on business. If you have something to say, please tell me..."
I just received a report that a baby has been abducted in a house on the outskirts of Beijing. Lord Gao has led a team to investigate the case.
Lu Chengping looked at Gao Junan's deputy, his eyes full of suspicion.
Seeing that the Marquis did not believe him, Lord Gong expressed his helplessness.
That's right. He was only recently transferred from the Ministry of Works. Although he hasn't handled many cases, it doesn't mean he lacks the ability.
"My lord, please tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help you solve it?"
Ok!
Right now, we can only rely on Gong Chenggang.
When the Marquis recounted the disappearance of the twins from the Marquis's mansion, Gong Chenggang slammed his fist on the table.
He exclaimed excitedly, "My lord, what a coincidence! Lord Gao just received a case about an infant abduction. Why don't you come with me to the outskirts of the capital? Perhaps the young master and young lady of your household are inside..."
……
Suburbs of Beijing.
Dong Chun unwrapped the baby and placed him on the long table, while Yan Yu held a red-hot blade in her hand.
Dingxiang watched them from the side.
This scene was truly thrilling and terrifying.
"Dong Chun, you should do it!"
Yan Yu handed over the knife.
Looking at these plump, fair-skinned people, Yan Yu really couldn't bring herself to do it.
"Sister Yanyu, I... I don't dare either..."
Yan Yu turned her gaze to Ding Xiang, who was staring at her, and said with difficulty, "Sister Ding Xiang, why don't you take care of this?"
"Stop talking nonsense, are you going to do it or not? If you don't, you can wait to go back and collect your family's corpses!"
Dingxiang threatened.
Hearing her words, Yan Yu finally picked up the knife again and walked towards the baby.
She stepped forward.
Simply make a gentle cut into their abdomen and remove their lively little hearts, and you're done.
"Don't do it yet!"
Dingxiang urged.
She kept glancing towards the door, afraid that things might get complicated if she waited too long.
Hearing Dingxiang's urging, Yanyu hardened her heart and raised the sharp blade in her hand to slash at the baby's tender belly.
In that split second, the door was suddenly kicked open.
"stop!"
Lord Gao led his soldiers in, and when they saw the dagger in Yan Yu's hand, an archer with a crossbow shot it away with an arrow.
Yan Yu winced in pain, and the dagger fell to the ground with a startling sound.
Dingxiang watched helplessly as the soldiers rushed in, thinking to herself, "It's over!"
Looking at these people, Yan Yu felt as if she had been redeemed and knelt down in despair.
"My lord, I confess, I'm willing to confess..."
Rather than kill these innocent babies, she was willing to sacrifice her own life to give her family a chance to live.
Hearing her words, Dingxiang rushed over and shouted at her sharply, "Yanyu, shut up! Don't forget your family's situation..."
Hearing their conversation, Lord Gao angrily said, "You wicked servant! Now that we have witnesses and evidence, you still dare to threaten people right under my nose! You've gone too far!"
"Guards, handcuff her. Without my order, no one is allowed to visit her..."
"Yes, my lord."
Yan Yu and Dong Chun were also being held captive and were being prepared to be taken away.
Just then, Lord Gong and the Marquis finally arrived.
"Where is my son? Where is my son?"
Upon seeing that it was the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion, Lord Gao looked at his deputy and asked, "What's going on?"
Lord Gong told Lord Gao about the disappearance of the twins from the Marquis of Dingguo's mansion.
"I see!"
Just as Lord Gao was about to have the Marquis identify his twins, he saw Lu Chengping looking at Dingxiang, who was wearing handcuffs.
"You, aren't you the maidservant by Madam Bei's side? What are you doing here?"
"Her, Your Excellency, do you know this person?"
Lu Chengping stepped forward and said to Lord Gao, "She is a servant of my Marquis's mansion, how could I not recognize her! And..."
The Marquis pointed to the misty rain.
"I remember these two maids are both maids of Ting'er's concubine. You damned lowly servants, how dare you steal my son..."
Seeing this, Master Gao instantly understood.
However, this case seems a bit complicated, so let's take the person back first!
As she was being escorted away, Dingxiang glared fiercely at Yanyu, who stood silently with her head down.
That vile woman! The young lady told her to find the baby, but she actually dared to steal from the Marquis's mansion. If it weren't for her, this whole affair probably wouldn't have been exposed today. She deserves to die!
Panshan Villa.
During the chase, Wu Weiwei and Chen Furong got separated.
She looked curiously at the black horse she was riding, vaguely sensing that the horse was not obeying her commands and seemed to be deliberately separating itself from the crowd.
She kicked hard against the horse's belly, but the horse became agitated and carried her deeper into the hunting grounds.
"what!"
Wu Weiwei was nearly thrown off by the jolting, but at the critical moment, she grabbed a vine extending from a large tree in front of her and managed to regain her balance and escape from the horse's back.
Wu Weiwei was about to let go.
But then he saw a pair of wolf-like black eyes staring intently at him.
"Are you a hunter?"
The owner of the eyes looked at her with hostility.
Wu Weiwei looked at the two people behind the bushes. One was a tall, thin girl, and behind her was a little girl who had been shot by an arrow.
Looking at the sharp stick she was clutching tightly in her hand, was she trying to use it against him?
"Please don't... I won't hurt you..."
"Don't move! Since you're here, you must be here to hunt us..."
The tall, thin girl did not put down her weapon.
Seeing her so wary, Wu Weiwei took the initiative to unslung the bow and arrows from her back.
"Look, I've laid down my weapon..."
Seeing that Wu Weiwei had voluntarily put down her weapon, the tall, thin girl seemed to soften her stance somewhat, but she did not actually put down the stick in her hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to hunt you down. On the contrary, I'm here to rescue you!"
Save them?
She didn't trust the hunters.
“That’s right, but only if you lead me to your leader.”
The tall, thin girl in front of him was not the person he was looking for. Where was that androgynous girl now?
"Are you looking for A-Lan?"
The tall, thin girl asked hesitantly.
"Your leader is called Alan?"
Wu Weiwei asked curiously.
The tall, thin girl clearly showed disbelief in response to her question.
"What exactly is your purpose? Speak up, or I won't be polite!"
The tall, thin girl held a sharp stick to Alan's neck. Did she want to kill Alan so that her tribe could be completely wiped out?
"You've misunderstood. I didn't mean to kill her. I genuinely wanted to save you all..."
Even with someone pressing their hand against her neck, Wu Weiwei remained calm and dealt with them.
"Giddy up..."
Just as the tall, thin girl was hesitating about whether to believe Wu Weiwei, a crossbow was pointed at her.
