Chapter 1348 Wu Zhuo's Disappearance
The bandits didn't expect them to run away and were instantly dispersed. The man in the lead quickly reacted and said angrily: "Chasing."
Wu Zhuo was holding a carriage and tightly clutched the reins with his fingers. Because the road was uneven, the carriage kept bumping. When he was about to bypass the roadblock, the carriage suddenly hit a protruding stone. The huge impact force made the carriage lose balance and overturned in such a way that it could not be defended.
Wei Zhinuan was thrown into trouble. Before she could react, she was pulled up. Wu Zhuo was slightly injured and didn't say much. He pulled her and tourmaline and ran into the forest.
But they could not escape the bandits. They were about to be caught up. The three of them looked very pale. Wu Zhuo looked around and found a concave grass slope and said, "I'll lead them away. You can hide there first and wait for us to leave.
You guys run again.”
Wei Zhinuan wanted to say something, but Tourmaline had already pulled her to the bottom of the grass slope to hide.
And Wu Zhuo ran to the depths of the dense forest alone.
Soon, footsteps came.
Wei Zhinuan and Tourmaline's heartbeats accelerated, and they were so nervous that they didn't dare to move.
"Another side, don't let them run away."
"Chasing!"
The footsteps were gone, and Tourmaline pulled Wei Zhinuan down the mountain. Wei Zhinuan was very worried about Wu Zhuo, but now he had no choice but to find rescue first.
When we arrived at the mountain road just now, we happened to meet Jin Shaotang who was going down the mountain. Seeing that they were so embarrassed, Jin Shaotang frowned and said, "What happened?"
Wei Zhinuan said: "We met a robber."
Jin Shaotang's face also changed drastically: "Hurry up... get in the car first, report to the official first."
Wei Zhinuan shook his head: "Wu Zhuo... Wu Zhuo has gone to lure the bandits away..." Jin Shaotang understood what she meant and nodded: "I'll let someone go and see. You get in the car first. This place is remote. Maybe the bandits will come back, and we can't run away by then."
Wei Zhinuan knew that he was right, but she was uneasy in her heart, so she had to get on the car first. Jin Shaotang asked one of her followers to inquire about the news, and then got on the carriage.
The daughter of the Wei family encountered bandits in Jincheng. The prefect of Jincheng was frightened and hurriedly sent someone to investigate.
But time had passed, and the bandits had run away long ago. In addition, those people were covered in faces, and no one knew where they came from. Moreover, the people from the government did not find Wu Zhuo, but only found his shoes around a cliff.
All kinds of bad news came, which seemed to indicate that Wu Zhuo had already encountered misfortune.
Wei Zhinuan was anxious but could only wait for news.
For a moment, the air pressure in the mansion was very low.
Xie Yu was still sick, but he was full of self-blame. Although he didn't like Wu Zhuo, he was not so vicious that he wanted to see him die. Moreover, if he hadn't been sick, those little thieves would not be his opponents at all.
After all, it's all his fault.
The others won't be better than him for long.
A few days later, there was finally some news that the bandits were also registered in Jincheng. They were all rascals and scoundrels who often did some stealing things. Who knew that these people were so bold this time that they actually dared to kidnap the lady of the Duke of Wei’s Mansion.
The prefect of Jincheng ordered a strict trial, but these people could not bear the 18th torture instruments from the government, and they quickly vomited everything.
The bandit leader named Zhang Sandao, who had some skills. He had worked as a constable in the county government before. Later, he was dismissed by the county government after he committed a crime. He has been doing something improper since then, but he has never had any major trouble. Who would have thought that this man would dare to do such a big thing this time?
