Chapter 2557 The thieves captured women and children, targeting Shen Huizhao!
After Le Shan got Wang Yue's permission, he was very happy. He immediately found Bai Yutang, Lu Fang and the other four, and called a dozen guards. He asked them to put on makeup and hide near the Shen Mansion and the Xue Family to see what the Shen Family members were doing.
Everything was very normal in the first few days. The Shen family didn't seem to have any intention of traveling, and Xue Guang was also very calm, which made Le Shan and others a little impatient.
Fortunately, with the company of the four Baiyu cousins, they could supervise him while also having a good time, which made Le Shan feel a lot more relaxed.
However, it is said that a gentleman's revenge is never too late, even after ten years, but a villain's revenge begins from morning till night.
Xue Guang's own son was sentenced to death, and he could not bear it for a moment, so he started to make plans after returning home.
Le Shan and Bai Yuting, who had been monitoring Xue Guang, also found out about it, so they kept a closer watch on the Xue family.
On this day, the people arranged by Xue Guang monitored that the grandmother of the Xue family, the aunt of the Xue family, and several other women including Haode, actually left the city together and headed towards Yanyue Temple. So they arranged people in advance and rushed to Yanyue Temple at full speed.
At the same time, Leshan Bai Yutang also received the news from the guards.
However, the people arranged by Xue Guang were divided into two groups, so they quickly divided their troops into two groups, one person followed Xue Guang's people, and the other followed the Shen family.
In fact, Old Lady Xue often came to Yanyue Temple, so when she arrived today, she found that the abbot Zhiyuan of Yanyue Temple was missing. Even the familiar Huide and Huixing were missing. There were only a few unfamiliar nuns, and she couldn't help but ask.
"I wonder if Master Zhiyuan and Master Huide Huixing are available today?"
The unfamiliar nun said very politely, "The abbot and two sisters have gone out to attend a Dharma Assembly and are not in the temple for the time being."
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen believed it for the time being and followed a few unfamiliar nuns into a meditation room.
Just as the nun was entertaining the female members of the Shen family, a little nun secretly grabbed Haode's hand while serving tea.
Haode was a little confused, but still held on to the thing in his hand calmly. He waited until the nun took the little nuns out of the house. Then he looked at his hand and saw a Buddhist bead stained with blood.
Haode was shocked when she saw the Buddhist bead, and she quickly looked at Liu'er and Jiu'er beside her.
The reason why Liu'er and Jiu'er were chosen was because they were familiar with Le Shan, so they were arranged by Le Shan. In fact, they also studied medical theory with Le Shan and could smell some common medicinal herbs.
So when they saw the Buddhist beads stained with blood, they immediately became alert.
Jiuer took the Buddhist beads in Haode's hand to check, while Liuer started to check carefully in the house.
Without waiting for Jiu'er to speak while checking the Buddhist beads, Liu'er turned around and suddenly picked up the kettle and poured out the sandalwood in the sandalwood pot.
Mrs. Shen and the aunts of the Shen family were already confused by Haode. Seeing the two maids around Haode behaving strangely, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Old Third Wife, what's wrong?"
Haode explained very seriously, "Old lady, just now the little nun stuffed a bloody Buddhist bead into my hand, and I think there must be something wrong in Yanyue Temple.
These two maids are Liu'er and Jiu'er. They are my fifth sister's personal maids. They have learned martial arts and pharmacology from my fifth sister. I think they must have discovered something?"
When Liu'er saw that everyone was looking at her and Jiu'er, she said very seriously, "Fourth Miss, there is aphrodisiac in this sandalwood. I smelled the scent of the aphrodisiac, so I put it out."
Jiuer also immediately added, "The blood on the bead has not yet completely coagulated. It seems that this place was only controlled in a hurry. It should not take more than half an hour."
After hearing this, Haode quickly looked at Old Lady Shen and Aunt Shen, and found that they were also a little flustered.
Haode knew that he could only rely on himself at this time, so he said nervously, "Liu'er Jiu'er, what should we do next?"
Liu'er glanced at Jiu'er, and then said seriously, "Fourth Miss, everyone just pretend to faint for a while. Jiu'er and I will guard the door. We will knock down every one of them who comes in. After we get the weapons, we will just guard the door and wait for rescue."
After hearing this, Haode asked anxiously, "Is this okay? Don't we need to ask for help? Can you two do it?"
Hearing Haode's question, everyone in the room looked at Liu'er and Jiu'er.
Liu Er smiled and said, "Don't worry, Fourth Miss. Although Jiu Er and I are not very good at martial arts, we are best at using poison powder. As long as they don't set fire to the house, they won't be able to get in."
After hearing Liu'er's words, everyone was relieved, but at the same time they were a little anxious, not knowing what had happened here, why a group of bandits had occupied the nunnery? But they had a vague guess in their hearts, that is, some people were lustful and wanted to attack the nuns, and they just happened to be unlucky and ran into them inexplicably.
So they hurriedly looked out through the gap in the window, and saw two nuns guarding outside their house. The two nuns looked strong and were obviously men, which confirmed what Liu'er and Jiu'er had said.
Just as I was anxiously waiting, there was movement outside the house.
Everyone looked outside through the window and saw that the two nuns guarding the door actually ran out of the courtyard. After a while, another nun ran in hurriedly. Everyone was a little confused and didn't know what the other party was doing.
When Haode saw this, he quickly said to Liu'er and Jiu'er, "Liu'er, Jiu'er, don't do anything yet. What does she want to do when she comes here?"
Liu'er and Jiu'er were originally guarding the door, ready to intercept her, but after hearing Haode's words, they did not take action. Instead, they waited for the nun to run in and deliberately followed her, just in case.
When the nun ran in, she didn't notice Liu'er and Jiu'er's defense, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Ladies and ladies, this place has been controlled by a group of bandits. I and a few sisters have already led the bandits away. You should run quickly, or it will be too late."
After hearing this, the lady stood up immediately and said excitedly, "Really? That's great!"
Aunt Shen also happily pulled her daughter up. She had originally thought that she might be unlucky this time, but she didn't expect that she could still survive.
Haode was also very happy at first, but when she thought about the cases she had encountered recently, she suddenly had an idea.
So, she stopped Old Lady Shen and said quickly, "Madam, Aunt, I think it's better for us to stay here and wait for help. After all, if we run out, they will definitely chase us. Liu'er and Jiu'er can't protect so many of us."
After hearing Haode's words, the lady and Aunt Shen hesitated a little. After all, women like them couldn't run fast, and if someone chased them, they really wouldn't be able to escape.
When the nun saw that everyone was not leaving, she said in a panic, "Madam, ladies, hurry up. If you don't run, they will come back and it will be too late for you to run."
Haode had been following Shen Huizhao in judging cases for some time and was no longer a simple little woman. When she saw the nun urging them to leave, she found it very suspicious.
So, she frowned and asked, "You knew clearly that we women could not outrun those bandits, but you still deliberately let us escape. Tell me, did those bandits deliberately ask you to come here and tell us what their purpose was?"
The little nun didn't expect Haode to ask her this. She looked at Haode in astonishment at first, then noticed Haode's inquiring eyes, then she lowered her head and said quickly, "Young Madam, don't talk nonsense. We just want to save you. Don't wrongly accuse me and let us down!"
The old lady was not a fool. After she calmed down, she noticed that the little nun was obviously not speaking from the heart and her words were trembling.
So, she slammed the table and said angrily, "Tell me, how do you know she is the young lady? We have never introduced each other!
You better tell me the truth quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
When she said this, she gestured to Nanny Lin beside her, obviously preparing for Nanny Lin to take action.
Although Nanny Lin doesn't know martial arts, she has many ways to torture people!
The little nun was not afraid of Haode or the other girls around her, but after seeing the old lady, she immediately gave in!
Because the nuns in their Yanyue Temple are getting scarier as they get older, she can't rest and thinks of the nuns in the Discipline Hall.
So, she dared not hide it anymore, and hurriedly said, "Old Madam, spare me! I didn't come here on purpose, it was those thieves who forced me to come."
Aunt Shen was a little skeptical at first, but she didn't expect Haode to guess correctly, so she said in surprise, "Then why did this gang of bandits want us to run away?"
The little nun shook her head and said in panic, "I don't know. I was picked by them to cheat you. I don't know anything!"
Haode thought a lot, and after thinking for a while, she said seriously, "Madam, I'm afraid the target of this group of thieves is my husband!"
When the lady heard this, she also reacted and said in a panic, "Are they trying to murder Sanlang?"
Aunt Shen also figured it out, and said seriously, "Their actions this time are a bit strange, but if their target is Sanlang, then it makes sense.
I'm afraid we should run away first, and then catch most of them, leaving only one or two to go back and deliver the letter to Sanlang."
