Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 25
A total of eight people have been rescued so far.
Except for Xu Ming who has been taken to Yang Lihua's place, the rest are here, under the watchful eye of the Ministry of Punishment.

They are not criminals at present, but they are suspects. No one can leave until the case is investigated.

Even the body of that maidservant had been put into a special freezer for an autopsy by the clerk of the Ministry of Punishment.

Since the emperor's grandson was involved, everyone who was rescued was under independent supervision and they were not allowed to see anyone.

Of course, Yang Ming was excluded, but even so, Yang Ming could only meet people in the presence of someone from the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

In a tent, Yang Ming saw Yu Chiying.

This person is Yang Hao's close follower, and he once followed Yang Guang to participate in the battle against Chen in the Sui Dynasty. He is considered an old man in the Jin Palace.

"what happened?"

Two quick hands from the punishment department brought Yang Ming a stool, and then stood on both sides of the door, allowing Yang Ming to question him.

Yu Chiying's physical condition was very good, and the past few days in a coma in the mountains did not affect him in any way, but his mental state was very poor.

This is normal, if Yang Hao can't find it, he will definitely not be able to keep his head.

"Returning to the third master, the second master was invited by Miss Pei to go to Gaoguan Waterfall in Guifeng Mountain together, and return at noon time, and camped in a mountain depression in the evening for cooking."

"At that time, Lao Liu hunted a deer, and I was in charge of boiling the water. About halfway through the meal, Xu Ming suddenly passed out without any warning. We knew then that something was wrong.”

"Subsequently, the maids beside Miss Pei also fainted one after another. The humble officer didn't dare to be careless at the time, and hurriedly escorted the second master to leave in an emergency. As a result, the second master also fainted before walking out of Erli."

"At that time, the humble job could only carry the second master on his back, and desperately returned north under the escort of the sixth son and others."

"After running for less than two miles, I suddenly felt weak all over my body, and lost consciousness in my hands and feet at the same time, and fell under an old pine tree. Before I lost consciousness, I saw Lao Liu take the second master on his back and continue to return north , but after waking up, Baizhi appeared in a completely strange place."

"After I woke up, I didn't have time to think about it. I ran to the north with all my strength. I didn't know that the second master was lost until I was discovered by the search team."

As he spoke, the burly man in his 40s lowered his head and began to sob.

Yang Ming asked coldly, "How was Miss Pei doing at that time?"

"I don't know about the lowly position," Yu Chiying said, "At that time, the incident happened suddenly, I only thought about taking the second master away as soon as possible, and didn't take Miss Pei's situation into consideration at all."

"Then before you passed out, besides the sixth child, who else was beside the second master?" Yang Ming asked again.

Yu Chiying said: "No more, I only saw the sixth child, I think the others passed out on the way."

Ma Lao Liu was originally Yang Guang's personal bodyguard and was born in Buddhism. After Yang Guang was transferred to Jiangdu, Lao Liu stayed in Daxing Jin Palace, and this time he came out with Yang Ming.

But after Yang Hao suffered a loss in the East Palace camp that night, he let Lao Liu stay with him. After all, Lao Liu's martial arts cultivation was not comparable to that of Zhang Mu.

Yang Ming asked some more questions, and Yuchiying answered honestly.

Next, Yang Ming went to the other camps to ask questions one by one.

The results of the interrogation were generally consistent with Yu Chiying's description.

This is very strange
Pang Ben asked for a tent from the Ministry of Criminal Justice to temporarily accommodate Yang Ming and the others.

Inside the tent, Yang Ming and others gathered around the bonfire and began to list some doubts about Yang Lan's disappearance.

"Your Highness also said just now that the place where Yuchiying fainted is different from where he was when he woke up, so he was moved after he passed out,"

Chen Shuyi pointed to the topographic map drawn by Pang Ben on the ground, and said: "Xu Ming was the first to faint, but the place where he was found was near the nun's temple in Niu'er Mountain. The situation is the same as that of Yu Chiying. Judging from people's descriptions, they were all moved after they fell into a coma, and the distance was very far."

"From this point of view, the perpetrator is not one person, but many, otherwise it would be impossible to separate people so far away."

Yang Ming nodded and did not speak, but let them discuss.

Pang Ben also said at this time: "The most puzzling thing about the lowly position is that General Ma will be able to follow the Tao? He is the personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness Jin. He participated in the battle of Jiankang. He is well-known in the army and is a Buddhist. Born, not afraid of spells and drugs, it can be seen that the person who did it is definitely not ordinary."

"Lao Liu has never been hurt in his life. In the battle against Chen, he was not defeated in the duel with Xiao Mahe on the battlefield. He did not expect to capsize in the gutter during this year's spring outing." Xu Jing and Ma Lao Liu are very familiar with each other. Stop sighing.

Yang Ming knew Ma Laoliu well. After all, he was able to be placed in Daxing by his father to sit in the palace, which shows that he has excellent strength and resourcefulness.

He can have accidents, so how capable is the person who does it?
"Have you ever thought about it?" Chen Shuyi said suddenly: "At present, it seems that the perpetrators did not kill them all, but just knocked people unconscious and scattered them away. In other words, their purpose was not to harm people."

Yang Ming squinted at the other party and said, "Second brother and Miss Pei haven't been found yet, so don't jump to conclusions."

Chen Shuyi was taken aback, and looked into Yang Ming's eyes in surprise, her heart was shocked, and she lowered her gaze involuntarily.

I don't know why, whenever Yang Ming's attitude is serious, Chen Shuyi always has a feeling of heart palpitations,

He's only 12 years old
In fact, Yang Ming also preferred that Yang Hao was still alive. After all, the murder of the emperor's grandson was a major event in the Sui Dynasty.

He didn't think anyone would have the guts.

"Pang Ben, send someone to the Pei family's camp to find out the origins of the servants who accompanied Miss Pei this time,"

"Impressive order!"

Yang Ming turned to Xu Jing again and said, "Have you checked out the people around Second Master?"

"Returning to the master," Xu Jingjing nodded and said, "I have asked everything clearly. They are all old people from our Jin Palace. There is absolutely no problem with their identities. The prince is thoughtful, and those who are unreliable will never be arranged by the second master's side."

That's the truth. Yang Ming nodded in agreement. Dad's work is still very reassuring.

So who exactly?How dare you kidnap the crown prince at the foot of the imperial city?
What is the purpose?

The camp at night was still lively, with the sound of mules and horses, and the yelling.

Yang Ming closed his eyes and rested on the couch, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

On the other hand, Chen Shuyi rested her chin on the side of the bed, listening to her breathing, she should have fallen asleep.

After being trained by Ye Ting Palace, the old Princess Chen has gradually let go of her airs as a princess and is getting more and more comfortable with her current status.

midnight,

The loud cheers outside the camp woke up Yang Ming who had just fallen asleep.

Walking out of the tent, the surprise on Yang Ming's face turned into surprise in an instant.
In the distance to the south, a team of hundreds of people returned towards the camp in the dark like a fire dragon.

Yang Hao was found.

Pei Shuying was also found.
