For the sins he had committed,
He hoped to teach a disciple who was full of justice for the country and the people, but because of this, he was targeted.
In the end, his daughter was captured, which made him hesitate to take action. He even betrayed his disciple because of this, and in the end, he still did not save Guan Lingshan's life.
Facing his daughter, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death and useless medicine, he watched her suffer all day long,
Guan Sheng chose to personally help his daughter free herself,
Guan Lingshan was Guan Sheng's lifeblood and his salvation,
His daughter was dead, and he had no hope of living. He vented all his anger on Ning Maochun, his disciple.
Perhaps he didn't want his daughter in the netherworld to be sad again,
Or perhaps it was because of his conscience, but he still let go of his disciple,
He also gave up on himself and jumped off the cliff to commit suicide.
Recalling all of this,
Siyang now became Guan Lingshan,
Then naturally, she couldn't let the tragedy of the father and daughter happen again. Ning Maochun and Tian Li,
She just let them do whatever they wanted,
Anyway, they were just messing around,
They couldn't hurt their tendons or break their bones,
However, since some people had already stretched out their claws,
It was better for her to cut them off.
The case of the missing girls around the capital,
It wasn't a simple case of human trafficking. It was also related to a big shot in the capital. Yes, Guan Lingshan was also killed by this group of people.
If there was a grudge, then there was a grudge. If there was a grudge, then there was a grudge. Let's collect some interest from these people first.
Princess Yuelan had indeed been keeping a close eye on Exquisite embroidery workshop since it opened. Originally, she had suspected that Long Qiaoqiao and that group of bandits were poor, how could they open a shop. She even wondered if Ning Fengde and Ning Maochun had secretly given them money, until she found out about Siyang. Princess Yuelan was very puzzled as to how the two of them got together.
However, these were not important. When she saw Long Qiaoqiao, she felt her chest tighten and her breath shorten. Especially when she knew about her past with Ning Fengde, she had always remembered Tian Li's words in her heart. If she hadn't used her status to threaten and interfere, Ning Fengde would have married Long Qiaoqiao twenty years ago and not her. Moreover, Long Qiaoqiao was deeply in love and even went crazy because of it.
Princess Yuelan was half guilty and half angry. Coupled with the urging of her two sisters-in-law, she lost her rationality even more. She only wanted to chase Long Qiaoqiao out of the capital. As for Siyang, she didn't even care about it.
"Ge Ge, you don't have to worry about Lingshan at all." Second Madam flicked her handkerchief. Seeing Princess Yuelan's hesitation, she fiercely said, "Third Brother once said that that lass was talented in embroidery and wanted to teach her well. However, she didn't appreciate his kindness and didn't want to stay at 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix' to learn embroidery. Look at her now. She turned around and got together with that vixen. She definitely isn't a good person."
First Madam was also unwilling to be left out. "That's right, Ge Ge. That Lingshan probably relied on her father to steal our embroidery at 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix' and learn a little. This is a good opportunity to teach her a lesson. She didn't think about it. She and her widower father just came to the capital. If it weren't for third brother and Ge Ge's kindness, they wouldn't have a place to stay."
Princess Yuelan was dizzy from all the noise, but no matter what, she had already made up her mind. As long as Long Qiaoqiao did not leave, she would not be able to rest easy. Since she wanted to settle down in the capital, she would make sure that Long Qiaoqiao could not stay any longer. However, just as Princess Yuelan was about to teach Exquisite embroidery workshop a lesson, she was interrupted by other matters.
Recently, many young girls in the capital had gone missing. Princess Yuelan heard about it when she was drinking tea and chatting with other rich madams outside. However, she only sighed a little. If this kind of thing did not happen to her, she would not feel anything. Although some of the embroidery workers in 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix' were women, there were also many young girls. A few days ago, an embroidery worker named Xiuxian went missing on her way back from work. There was no news of her until now.
This frightened the other embroidery workers in 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix'. This kind of disappearance was too frightening for the girls. They all requested to get off work early, and some even took leave and did not come. Even if 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix for Phoenix' wanted to increase their pay, they would shake their heads and refuse. Although money was important, it was not as precious as their lives.
As a result, 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix' orders could not be completed on time. This caused a group of people to be badly battered. Princess Yuelan also could not keep an eye on Exquisite embroidery workshop all day.
Exquisite embroidery workshop continued to operate as usual. In fact, business had increased a lot. It was probably because 'Seeking Phoenix for Phoenix' had declined some small orders.
They were all in the capital, and Peace Inn was not far from the embroidery workshop. There was no need to worry about Long Qiaoqiao's safety. As for Siyang … there was no need to talk about her. If someone really targeted her, she would not be the one to suffer.
However, there really were people who were so blind.
The people who came out of the dark had very poor methods of capturing people. They would cover their mouths from behind and forcefully drag them away. If they struggled, they would knock them out with a karate chop and tie them up with thick hemp rope. Their mouths would be stuffed with cloth, and their eyes would be blindfolded. They would be stuffed into a prepared carriage, and that would be it.
Siyang, who was lying in the carriage, thought about it. In fact, she could not blame these people. After all, she was a girl who did not have the strength to truss a chicken. The person who did this was a man who knew martial arts and had a plan. Most importantly, this group of people was organized by a big shot. It was no wonder that so many girls had gone missing without any clues being found.
Siyang did not pretend to be caught on the spur of the moment. In the past few days, she had sensed that someone was following her. She guessed that it was the people who were involved in the case of the missing girls. Therefore, after thinking for a while, she came up with a countermeasure. This was a good opportunity. How could she not take advantage of it? She wanted to see someone soon.
After the carriage had traveled for a while, Siyang was brought down from the carriage. She was blindfolded and brought to a place where she could hear the cries of many girls. Her shoulders were pushed heavily. She staggered and was pushed to the ground. The black cloth covering her eyes was pulled away, and everything around her was lit up.
After her eyes were exposed to the light, Siyang looked around. This was an empty basement. The area was large, and the four walls were lit with torches. In the center, ten to twenty girls were tied up and sitting on the ground. Some of them were sobbing quietly. She was one of them.
The robber held a knife in his hand. He pointed it at the girls and said fiercely, "All of you better behave yourselves. Otherwise, you will suffer."
The young girls panicked once again, but the ones who were crying silently shut their mouths. These people were ferocious and their methods were cruel. If they really did anything to them, they would be like fish on the chopping board, unable to resist.
Seeing this, the robbers had satisfied looks on their faces.
"The ones we caught later are not bad." One robber said to another. He did not hide his voice at all. It was as if he deliberately said it. There was a hint of lust in his voice. The other robber was the one who had just brought Siyang here.
The other robber glanced at his companion and smiled, "You should keep your thoughts to yourself. The boss said that we cannot lose this group of girls."
Although the robber's companion had some thoughts, when he heard the warning, he also remembered it. He curled his lips and calmed his restless heart.
After Siyang looked around, her expression changed slightly. Like the group of girls, she obediently moved closer to each other. There were not many robbers in the basement. There were only two or three of them. The robber who had caught her said a few words to his companion and then left the basement. There were only two people left in the basement. Both of them were holding steel knives. The girls were tied up. They had never seen such a terrifying scene. None of them dared to move.
Siyang did not put the robbers in her eyes. If she wanted to leave, it would be easy. However, it was not time yet. She looked at the two robbers. They were wearing monk hats and monk robes. They were dressed like monks. However, real monks would not have a fierce look on their faces. They could not even hide the smell of blood on their bodies. They were clearly a group of fake monks. Moreover, each of them was a person who lived a bloody life.
"Lingshan?" Someone called out to her in a low voice.
Siyang turned her head and saw a slightly familiar face. She had been to The Phoenix Seeking Phoenix several times. She had also seen the embroiderers there. The unkempt girl beside her seemed to be a member of The Phoenix Seeking Phoenix.
Xiuxian was surprised to see her. She felt that they were in the same boat, "How did you get caught too?"
Siyang smiled bitterly, "I don't know either. I was knocked unconscious on my way home and brought here."
Xiuxian's eyes were red, but she did not dare to cry out loud. She suppressed her voice and her lips trembled, "Me too. I don't know what they want. Can we still get out?"
Of course they could get out. Siyang kept her words and comforted her in a low voice. She told her that someone would come to save them.
Xiuxian felt that there was not much hope. She had been caught for several days. Not only did no one come to save her, but more girls were caught. She said with a sad face, "I hope so."
Siyang did not try to persuade her anymore. Of course, someone would come. She had left a mark along the way. Seeing that she did not return home, Guan Sheng would definitely come to look for her. With her mark, he would be able to find this Fayun Temple that was full of incense.
It was ironic. This was a big temple that all the noble ladies in the capital liked to visit. Yet, no one noticed that the abbot and all the monks in the temple had been replaced.
The underground dark room could not see the outside, so they did not know how much time had passed. The robbers did not want them to starve to death. They sent in a basket of steamed buns and gave each of them a bowl of cold water.
Si Yang had been keeping track of the time. It was probably a day after dark and then dawn. When the robbers came to deliver food again, she heard their conversation. There was a group of important people in the temple coming. She told them to be alert and pretend to be monks well to trick the people first.
Judging from the time, Guan Sheng must have found where she was. If he didn't impulsively barge in, then on the surface, he had already met with Long Qiaoqiao. It seemed that the plan was going smoothly. He would probably inform her to not leave his name. Well, after all, his mother and wife were both here.
When chaos broke out above, the door of the underground secret room was opened. A group of noblewomen, maids, and older female servants were all tied up and pushed down. They were forced to squat in the middle of the room.
Siyang's sharp eyes saw Princess Yuelan and Tian Li in front of her. Both of them looked miserable. Their hair was disheveled and their faces were dirty. There were also palm prints on their faces. She did not know who had slapped them.
"Can you be more careful? My daughter-in-law is pregnant with my grandson. Can you afford to pay for it if it gets hurt?" Even though she had become a hostage, Princess Yuelan did not change her nature. She shouted loudly at the robbers.
"If you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue." The one who spoke was a burly monk with a fierce face. He was wearing a kasaya.
When he appeared, the other robbers all called him boss. It turned out that this was the leader of the robbers. They had taken over Fayun Temple, so this boss directly became the abbot.
Siyang's gaze swept across his face. Her eyes narrowed. He finally appeared.
