Chapter 68: Arrest
At night, after Xiao Yan made arrangements, he sneaked into the Assassin's Mansion with Fengyu, and they had to get useful information from the little guy's mouth.
Xiao Yan sent someone to find out the little girl's residence early in the morning, and then hid in the dark of the courtyard with Fengyu, waiting for the little girl to appear.
"Don't say it, you dress like this, you really look like a ghost." Feng Yu smiled and said in a low voice, and reached out to pull Xiao Yan's long white sleeves.
Xiao Yan let Fengyu laugh at his clothes and makeup, looked at the courtyard and said, "Is the princess sure this method is feasible?" ”
"Actually, I'm not sure." Feng Yu shook her head, saw Xiao Yan looking at her with a little surprise, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "You have to try, don't you?" ”
Xiao Yan smiled a little dotingly, and didn't say anything more, but Feng Yu frowned and asked, "By the way, why don't you let me play the ghost?" Female ghosts are much more scary than male ghosts. ”
"The princess is a daughter, how can she do such a thing?" Xiao Yan was serious, and when he saw Feng Yu's eyebrows slightly raised, he sighed helplessly.
"I'm worried that the little guy will be so scared that he will beat people, and if he hurts the princess, won't the gain outweigh the loss."
It turned out to be for his own sake. Feng Yu was a little happy in her heart, and fell silent and waited quietly.
After waiting for a while, a person carrying a lantern suddenly appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, a little far away, and Fengyu couldn't see who the person who came.
When the man got closer, before Feng Yu had time to take a closer look, Xiao Yan beside him said, "The princess is waiting here, don't show up." ”
After speaking, Xiao Yan cut his hair and clothes, and then used light skills to float to the courtyard.
The distance was a little far, Feng Yu could only see that the little guy was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, and kept saying something in his mouth, while Xiao Yan was floating around, floating in front of the little guy for a while, and flashing to the back for a while.
I don't know what Xiao Yan said, the little guy was so frightened that he kowtowed again and again, and his mouth kept moving, as if he was saying something.
Feng Yu looked at it for a while and thought it was very interesting, remembering that Concubine Hui had also sent someone to pretend to be a ghost to scare her, but in the end it scared Qin'er.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan rushed to the front of the little guy, and then the little guy fell to the ground in fright, Xiao Yan dragged the little guy behind the rockery, so that it was not easy for people to find out.
Xiao Yan returned to Feng Yu's side, and Feng Yu hurriedly asked, "How is it?" Did you ask anything? ”
Xiao Yan wiped his face and said, "He said that there was someone hiding in Lu Yunpeng's study, but he didn't know who it was. ”
"He is only responsible for bringing the food in every day, and after an hour he cleans up the dishes and chopsticks and leaves, he said that the only people who know about this matter are Lu Yunpeng and Steward Zhao."
"This Lu Yunpeng really has a secret." Feng Yu frowned and said, seeing that Xiao Yan couldn't wipe it clean, she took the initiative to wipe it with a handkerchief.
"Xiao Yan, do you think it will be Sun Jianye hidden in the study?"
Xiao Yan didn't come back to his senses when Feng Yu took the initiative to help him wipe his face, and when he heard her speak, he nodded reflexively, "The princess is right." ”
Fengyu didn't notice that Xiao Yan was wrong, and was thinking about the people hidden in the study, and after hiding Xiao Yan's face, he proposed, "Let's go to the study and have a look." ”
Xiao Yan was stunned, and when he saw Feng Yu looking at him, he nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After Fengyu turned around, Xiao Yan looked at her and exhaled lightly, and then hurriedly followed.
Under the cover of Xiao Yan, Feng Yu and he quietly came to the study, looked around and saw no one, Feng Yu pushed the door in, and Xiao Yan broke off.
After the two sneaked into the study, they separated to find the dark room, Xiao Yan was mainly responsible for the bookcase, and Feng Yu was on the right side of the door.
When she was in the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, Feng Yu had found a dark room, and now she has a sense of familiarity with this kind of thing.
When she found the screen, a strand of hair on Feng Yu's forehead suddenly floated up, Feng Yu was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at the wall next to her.
After a closer look, she found that there was a hole next to the painting on the wall, Feng Yu walked over and leaned her eyes over to see it, it was black, she couldn't see anything, it seemed to be an ordinary hole.
Just as Feng Yu was about to move her head, the entrance of the cave suddenly turned white, Feng Yu looked at it carefully, and screamed softly in fright.
It turned out that the entrance of the cave just now was black and white, because on the opposite side of the cave entrance, there was also an eye looking at Fengyu.
Before Feng Yu could recover from her fright, a crack suddenly appeared in the wall, and then, a hand reached out and grabbed Feng Yu inside.
Xiao Yan also looked very carefully, so he didn't find that Feng Yu was wrong at first, but Feng Yu made a scream, so he hurriedly ran over, but just happened to see Feng Yu being arrested.
didn't have time to think about it, Xiao Yan immediately rushed over, but the door of the dark room was closed, and Xiao Yan was so anxious to find the switch.
Feng Yu, who was dragged into the dark room, pushed the person behind him hard, and the person was pushed back and let go of Feng Yu.
Feng Yu turned around and looked at it, and then mocked: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be Lord Sun. ”
So it was Sun Jianye who looked at her through the hole just now, Feng Yu remembered the scene just now, her back was a little sweaty, and the feeling of being spied on through the hole was terrible.
Sun Jianye glared at Fengyu angrily and said, "I didn't expect you to refuse to let me go." ”
"Spare you?" Feng Yu laughed mockingly, and the next moment, the smile disappeared from her face in an instant, and she looked at Sun Jianye and said coldly: "Just a person like you with a human face and a beast heart, who has done all the bad things, wants me to let you go, do you think God will agree?" ”
Saying that, Feng Yu took advantage of Sun Jianye's distraction and threw a hidden weapon at him, and the hidden weapon stabbed Sun Jianye's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain.
Feng Yu looked at him with sharp eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Now that it's happened, I think you can run anywhere?" ”
Sun Jianye knew that he was injured and could not escape the pursuit, so he thought about breaking the net with Feng Yuyu, his eyes aimed at the dagger on the table, Sun Jianye said viciously to Feng Yu: "I can't run, and you don't want to get out of here alive." ”
After finishing speaking, Sun Jianye turned around and picked up the dagger next to the table and rushed towards Fengyu, his eyes were fierce and full of strong killing intent.
It happened too suddenly, and Feng Yu didn't have time to react otherwise, so she could only instinctively retreat.
Just when Sun Jianye was about to rush in front of her, Xiao Yan suddenly broke into the door, a flying body blocked in front of her, and then kicked Sun Jianye away.
Seeing that Sun Jianye was about to kill Fengyu, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly became indifferent, he walked up to Sun Jianye expressionlessly, didn't say anything, picked up the stool next to him and lifted it up and smashed it on his leg.
"Ahh
Sun Jianye screamed in pain, Xiao Yan looked at him and snorted coldly, then walked back to Feng Yu, first looked her up and down carefully, and then said softly: "Is the princess okay?" Were you scared? ”
Feng Yu smiled and shook her head, although she was indeed taken aback when she was first caught in the dark room. But when she saw that the person who captured her was Sun Jianye, she was not afraid, and she knew that Xiao Yan was outside, and he would definitely be desperate to save her.
There was such a big movement in the study, which quickly alarmed the people in the house, Lu Yunpeng hurried over when he heard the news, and saw Sun Jianye lying on the ground and called, so he immediately ran to Fengyu and Xiao Yan and knelt down.
"The princess spares her life, the lower official knows that she is wrong."
Feng Yu turned to look at him and said sharply: "Lu Yunpeng, as the assassin of Leizhou, you dare to harbor a fugitive, and you should be punished for your crimes." ”
"The princess spared her life, and the lower official was forced." Lu Yunpeng hurriedly kowtowed and said, "It's Sun Jianye who threatened me and asked me to hide him in the mansion." ”
"Threat?" Feng Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "What did he threaten you with?" ”
"This ......" Lu Yunpeng fell silent with an embarrassed face, not knowing how to explain to Fengyu.
Feng Yu looked at him and chuckled, and said, "I guess there is also an ulterior secret between you and Sun Jianye." ”
"Princess, Xiaguan ......"
"That's it." Feng Yu waved her hand, interrupted Lu Yunpeng's words, and said, "When you return to the capital with me, you can tell your father in person." ”
After finishing speaking, Feng Yu turned around and walked to the door of the dark room, and Xiao Yan kicked Lu Yunpeng in the chest, kicking him to the ground.
"Come on, arrest these two dog officials for me, and return to Beijing another day to wait for the emperor's fate."
"Yes, General."
When Mrs. Thorn Shi learned that Lu Yunpeng had been arrested, she hurriedly put on her clothes and hurried over with the maid, and then found Feng Yu who was drinking tea in the hall.
"Please, princess."
Feng Yu had a good impression of Mrs. Thorn Shi at first, but now that she remembered her previous actions and knew that she should know about Sun Jianye's hiding in the mansion, her tone became a little more indifferent.
"Does Madame know about the governor of Jiangnan hiding in the mansion?"
Mrs. Thorn Shi knelt on the ground and looked at Feng Yu, and said with tears on her face: "At the banquet that day, the concubine wanted to inform the princess about this, but the concubine was afraid that this would harm my family, so she concealed it." ”
"Then you want to intercede for Lu Yunpeng now?" Feng Yu raised her eyebrows, then looked at her and squinted, and said, "Do you know that what Sun Jianye committed is a serious crime, and if you dare to hide such a serious crime in the mansion, you have to have the courage to bear the consequences." ”
Mrs. Thorn Shi was so frightened that she hurriedly kowtowed, and begged: "The princess is gracious, my family is confused for a while, and I hope that when the princess takes him back to Beijing to face the saint, she can ask the emperor for mercy and spare his life." ”
It is said that husband and wife fly separately when disaster comes, and now that Lu Yunpeng has been arrested, Mrs. Assassin Shi not only did not shirk the blame, but knelt down to intercede for him.
Mrs. Thorn Shi's affection for Lu Yunpeng moved Fengyu a little, but at the same time, she also felt pity for her.
Because it is impossible for Fengyu to let Lu Yunpeng go, there must be some improper transactions between Lu Yunpeng and Sun Jianye, such as Lu Yunpeng receiving money from Sun Jianye's corruption, or even having his share in buying and selling official positions.
Otherwise, Lu Yunpeng would not have taken such a big risk and hid Sun Jianye in the mansion.
"Lu Yunpeng hid the felony Sun Jianye, and he still needs to take them back to Beijing to find out the matter before he can draw a conclusion."
Feng Yu looked at Mrs. Thorn Shi with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes, and said, "But I kindly remind Mrs. that it is better to prepare early." ”
