Chapter 161: Something happened to the Hu Mansion
When we passed by Longxing Restaurant, the shopkeeper happened to be standing outside the door, seeing us coming back, nodding and smiling, he was not too surprised that we were with Cang'er, as if he had expected it a long time ago. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
I looked at him, didn't speak, just bowed to each other, and he smiled and turned back to the restaurant.
As soon as we entered the yamen, Lin An stood in the middle as if he had been waiting here in advance, and when he saw us with Cang'er and the three of them, his eyes looked up and down on Cang'er's body, and he couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously, "Princess, they?"
Hearing Lin An call me princess, Cang'er's eyes widened, and he looked at me in disbelief, "Sister...... No, princess?"
I smiled and nodded, but through the veil, Cang'er and the others couldn't see the smile on their faces, and said: "Don't be nervous, it's still the same, just call me sister, Xiaoxue, who is younger than you, also call me......"
At the mention of Xiaoxue, my eyes darkened, lowered my eyes, and my eyes fell on the Xiaoxue's clothes in my hand, and I felt uncomfortable for a while, and sighed heavily.
Cang'er seemed to notice that something was wrong with me, and hurriedly comforted: "Sister, don't worry, Xiaoxue Taji has her own natural appearance, and she will be safe." ā
I nodded at him, thanked him, and then said to Lin An, "Three poor children I met on the road. "I don't say much else, for this forest shore, to be honest, I don't trust it very much, you can't hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, it's always good to be cautious.
Lin An saw that I was deliberately hiding something, but I didn't want to ask, so I simply said, "I see." That ......"
The immediate meaning of his last long end was to ask me how I would house the three children.
I glanced at him and ordered, "Order someone to vacate a room in the West Wing for them to live in!"
Lin An nodded in response, and couldn't help but glance at Cang'er and them a few more times, and then turned around and went down to arrange.
At this time, the sky was dark, and it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and the slightly flickering candle flame leaked through the dimness of the room.
After entering the back hall, before we stepped into the hall, we saw that in the light and shadow, Zhao Cheng's anxious figure kept pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
I quickened my steps into the house, and before I could sit down, Zhao Chengcheng greeted me and hurriedly said, "Princess, you are back!" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at the three children who were following me and Deng Yi, and they were also puzzled: "This is?"
"I'll talk to you about a few of them later, so let's talk about what happened first!"
Zhao Cheng was a little anxious, but looking at his appearance just now, it was estimated that something had happened, so he was so anxious that he kept pacing back and forth.
Zhao Cheng suddenly let out a sigh of enlightenment, attracted by Cang'er and them, and almost forgot about the big thing.
"Princess, something happened to Juan's family!" Zhao Cheng said, his face sweating with anxiety.
"Slowly, what's going on?"
"That's right, subordinates and others are ordered to monitor Juan Zhi's home......"
Zhao Cheng told everything that happened today, and he didn't even leave the details.
Here's the thing, about two hours ago, not long after Deng Yi and I went out.
Zhao Cheng and they kept an all-round eye on Juan's home, and in order to prevent them from startling the snake, I specially instructed them to keep an eye on it outside, and if they found out that Juan Zhi had returned home, they would take it down immediately.
In fact, Juan Zhi has just escaped, and the chance of coming back at this time is very small. Normal people don't do this, if you choose to come back at this time, isn't it just to drill into the trap yourself?
It didn't take much effort for me to let Zhao Cheng and them stare at it, but I learned from Lin An in private that Hu Anzhi was extremely greedy for money and lustful, and he had a very precious thing at home, which was said to be a superb jade carved Buddha statue from everyone's hands, which was priceless.
Juan Zhi was particularly nervous about his jade Buddha statue, not only did he have to sleep with him at night, but he even had to fall in love with a woman. According to Lin An, he heard Juan once drunken mention that he would feel at ease when he held the jade Buddha statue.
Presumably, Juan Zhi knew that his sins were too heavy, and sought some psychological comfort. He wanted to pray to the Buddha to bless him, but did he know that his crimes were so clear that even the Buddha would not be able to stand it?
It is indeed ironic, after doing all the bad things, he still believes in Buddhism, which is really an insult to the Buddha statue.
I guess that Juan Zhi cares so much about money and Buddha statues, and he will definitely sneak back after escaping, and he can't bear to let go of these things in his body, and he can't bear to watch those "hard-won" "ill-gotten gains" slip out of his hands.
Most people who love money do not spare their lives, and they don't have the strength to die, so where will money come easily. Most of the people who cherish their lives see their possessions clearly, and there is no greater wealth than living.
I'm just betting that Juan will come back and catch him again.
It's just that this time is a little faster than I expected.
Zhao Cheng and the others have been guarding the Hu Mansion, secretly observing the movements of the Hu Mansion, and for more than an hour before, there was no movement in the Hu Mansion, and no one was in or out.
It's just that in the next hour, the housekeeper in Hu's mansion went out once, and Zhao Cheng was alert and immediately sent someone to follow secretly.
The butler had only been out for about a quarter of an hour, and soon turned back again.
The people sent by Zhao Cheng came back and reported that they had found nothing abnormal, and the housekeeper just went to a dim sum shop on the corner of the street to buy some pastries, and the speed was very fast, and he didn't delay in the slightest, and came back with the pastries.
Other than that, no one has ever come out of the Hu Mansion again, and the whole mansion is surprisingly quiet.
This is also what Zhao Cheng thinks is strange, it stands to reason that his master was detained by the yamen for no reason, and the ladies and concubines in the mansion should also be anxious to inquire about the news, but the people in the Hu Mansion seem to have nothing like this, and they live their own lives, as if Hu Anzhi stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.
This quiet scene in Hufu lasted about half an hour, because it was almost winter, the days were short and the nights were long, and the sky was very dark.
Tomorrow is still early, and the light is starting to dim.
Just when Zhao Cheng's subordinates began to relax a little, a miserable scream came from Hu Mansion, which made everyone's cells tense up at once, and everyone was full of energy, and the first reaction in their minds was: Something happened!
So there was no time to hesitate, Zhao Chengcheng broke in with someone.
Entering the Hu Mansion, the scene in front of them made Zhao Cheng and them stunned, and in just a short moment, it became such a scene, which made them unbelievable.
I saw countless corpses lying in the courtyard of Hu's mansion, all of them were from the maid's family, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and their eyes were round.
Zhao Cheng squatted down to investigate, and all of these people were poisoned and died.
Without allowing for half a moment's hesitation, Zhao Cheng led his men all the way to the inner courtyard, and there were corpses of his subordinates all the way, which made their hearts rise to their throats.
