Chapter 53: Zou Feng

"My lord, I don't know who threw a letter in and was picked up by the patrolling guards, and it was written for you, my lord."

After Yue Su returned to his home, he held a banquet to entertain the county lord that night. Jin Chan and the others are naturally inconvenient to serve on the table, so they all eat in the front yard, and Yue Su's side is in the flower hall in the middle of the room. The attendees were indispensable for Mrs. Ruan Aoyue, but they also called Du Siniang and Li Qiongying to sit with them.

The four of them gossiped and laughed, and at this time, Jin Cicada ran over with a letter in his hand.

Yue Su asked Jin Chan to present the letter, and instead of opening it immediately, he asked, "The person who surrendered the letter, have you found it?" ”

"The guards have gone out to search, and they have not yet come back to report, and after I received the letter, I came over immediately." Jin Chan said.

"Oh......" Yue Su opened the envelope, unfolded the letter and looked at it, there was only one sentence written on it.

Seeing this, his face couldn't help but sink.

Ruan Aoyue and Mu Tianjiao were both delicate people, and they found that Yue Su's expression was wrong at a glance.

"Lord Yue, I don't know what is written in the letter?" Mu Tianjiao asked softly.

"It's a whistleblower letter." Yue Su did not hide it. Then he said: "Jin Cicada, you go out and ask now, and see if you can find the person who surrendered to the letter." ”

"Yes, sir."

When the golden cicada retreated, Yue Su handed the letter to Mu Tianjiao, there was only one sentence on the letter, and it was clear at a glance, Mu Tianjiao was also a little stunned when she saw it. Ruan Aoyue, Li Qiongying, and Du Shi Niang all looked at it curiously, eager to know the content of the letter.

Mu Tianjiao found that everyone was watching her, and hurriedly handed the letter to Ruan Aoyue, and after Ruan Aoyue read it, she handed it to Li Qiongying. Then he said: "Husband, do you think it is reliable? ”

"I'm not sure either. But there are not many people who know about this, and since this person can report it, he obviously knows the inside story. Let's see if the person who sent the trust can be found, and then make a decision. "Yue Su's heart is really a little undecided. Because the person who wrote in the letter really had something to do with himself.

Li Qiongying naturally knew the relationship between this person and Yue Su, and after reading it, she didn't say anything. Although Du Shi Niang was curious, she knew the duty of a woman's family, so she didn't answer the letter. The Duke of Qianguo had already found out Yue Su's bottom in detail, and Mu Tianjiao naturally knew that Yue Su had something to do with that person, and he also knew it.

At present, this case has both the little prince and this person implicated, will Yue Su investigate it to the end? Mu Tianjiao is really not sure. She knew that Yue Su was embarrassed, so she didn't say anything.

After a while, Jin Chan ran again, clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the guards chased out two streets, but they didn't find any suspicious people. ”

Yue Su nodded, he couldn't find anyone, in fact, it was expected, if the other party had to show up, he could come to visit, and he didn't have to be sneaky. Since you submit the book anonymously, you don't want people to know who it is and how to be easily caught up. The reason why he had to wait to find the person who surrendered was that Yue Su was selfish and didn't want to easily estranged himself from that person.

Now, everyone in the flower hall was staring at Yue Su tightly, not knowing what he would do. Yue Su pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Jin Chan, take my fire stick, go to the political envoy's mansion, and invite Zou Feng, the son of Lord Zou." ”

"Yes, sir!" The golden cicada led the order to retreat.

This time, the eyes of the people in the flower hall who looked at Yue Su changed. Mu Tianjiao's eyes were full of admiration, Li Qiongying's eyes were full of surprise, Ruan Aoyue's eyes were full of conviction, only Du Shi Niang, her gaze did not change in the slightest. Because Du Shi Niang didn't read this letter at all, for her, no matter what Yue Su decides, she will stand by this man's side.

"Pap" "Pap" "Pap" ...... Outside the door of the political envoy's mansion, there was a knock on the door, and after a while, I heard someone inside: "Who, come to knock on the door at night, you can't come during the day if you have something!" ”

"Governor Yamen's!" Someone outside the door shouted back.

The knock on the door was not particularly loud, and the sound of the answer was not as aggressive as usual, all because of the teacher-student relationship between Zou Jiaren and Yue Su. You must know that in normal times, the servants of the governor's yamen were ordered to come out to pick up people, and they were all home.

As soon as they heard that the governor's yamen was coming, the people inside the door were taken aback and hurriedly opened the door. "I don't know what you're doing here?"

Jin Cicada showed the fire sign and said: "This is the fire sign of the governor's yamen, seal the life of the lord, come and invite Zou Feng, the son of your mansion!" ”

Rush the fire lot!

Of course, the family had heard of this famous fire sign, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the little one will go in and spread it." ”

After saying that, he ran inside with a puff of smoke.

The porter ran directly to Zou Jiaren's study, and Zou was reading a book at the moment, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting nervously: "Master, master...... Big things are not good......"

Zou Jiaren's heart sank, and he shouted: "What's wrong, so panicked, come in and speak!" ”

The porter pushed the door open, stepped into the room, and took a few breaths before saying, "Master...... Something really happened...... Governor...... The fire sign from the governor's yamen came...... Say yes...... He said he was going to ask Childe to take a trip......"

"Hmm!" As soon as he heard this, Zou Jiaren slammed for a while, and said secretly in his heart: "Didn't there be news in Bai Yueli, saying that Yue Su found nothing in the palace, and he came back in a daze, why did he suddenly find my door." ”

He hesitated slightly, and then said, "Call the son and the chief butler." ”

"Yes." The porter hurriedly went out to deliver the message, and Zou Jiaren changed into clothes to go out. Since he found the door, there was no reason not to go, so he could only go hard-headed and see what evidence Yue Su had in his hand. As long as there is no real evidence and he is present, Yue Su will not use torture to extract confessions.

Soon, the chief butler Wentian and the son Zou Feng hurried over. Wentian was quite calm, but Zou Feng was panicked, and as soon as he entered the study, he said eagerly: "Dad, you must save me." ”

Zou Jiaren glared at his son and said angrily: "Evil animal, I told you a long time ago that if Yue Su doesn't leave, you won't go out." It's good that the incident hasn't been found out, and you're in trouble again. Isn't it too long! ”

"Father, I didn't want to go out to cause trouble, I was really panicked in the house, so I couldn't help but go out. In order not to make trouble, I also went to run horses outside the city, who would have thought that the little prince would kill someone. No one wants such an accident to happen. Zou Feng hurriedly explained.

"Nonsense!" Zou Jiaren said angrily: "You said lightly, if you are honest at home, how could such an accident happen." Also, even if you kill someone, why do you still kill people and kill people, the most annoying thing is that you can't even extinguish your mouth! ”

"Father...... Who knew that kid was so fateful...... It's so coincidental that someone will pass by...... "Zou Feng is going to cry now." The Governor's Yamen's soul-chasing fire sign is too famous, and no one who is invited to go, as long as there is something, none of them will end well.

"Alright, alright...... When I was in trouble, I was not small, but now when something happens, looking at you like a bear, it really makes my father angry, how did I give birth to such an unfortunate thing as you. Zou Jiaren sighed slightly, and said: "I still have a hole card in my hand, which is enough to save your life, but this hole card, I don't want to use it easily." Wait a minute, I'll accompany you and see what evidence Yue Su has in his hand, if there is no definite evidence, you will not admit it. But I'm still wondering how he knew that there was you in here, and if someone leaked the news. ”

"Thank you, father." Zou Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It shouldn't be, the palace has already killed everyone who knows about it, and the stakes are very high, they don't dare to leak it." What's more, if he was really found out by Yue Su at that time, he would not have to take the little prince away immediately. But the news leaked from our house, it is unlikely, those people under my command will never say anything, and they are still hidden in the secret room, and since they came back, they have not left the country again. The other two are Uncle Tian's apprentices, and they won't leak secrets if they think about it. What the hell. ”

"Okay, stop thinking about the superfluous. Take a step, look at a step. You think about your confession first, and just say that you haven't been out for the past few days, and you've been reading at home. Ask the sky, you 'instruct' everyone who knew that Gongzi went out that day, once Yue Su interrogated someone, don't show his feet. Zou Jiaren said calmly.

"Yes, sir."

"Feng'er, let's go." Zou Jiaren walked outside, Zou Feng hurriedly followed, and the father and son came to the gate.

When Jin Cicada saw Zou Jiaren, he came out and hurriedly bowed down, "See Lord Zou." ”

"It turned out to be a golden catcher, I don't know what happened to Bingyan inviting the little dog to come over? I also have to trouble Jin Zhutou to take a trip with a fire sign. Zou Jiaren said calmly.

"I don't know what happened, but I just acted on orders." The golden cicada's mouth is quite tight, how can it reveal a little wind. Don't look at him, he doesn't know the content of the letter, but the reason why the adult suddenly ordered the transmission of the prince of Zou Mansion must be related to this letter.

"Okay, let's hurry up, don't let Bingyan wait for a long time." Zou Jiaren said with a smile.

Zou Jiaren's sedan chair had already been lifted out, he got on the sedan chair by himself, Zou Feng followed the sedan chair, Jin Chan and the others were just on guard, and everyone went to the governor's yamen together.

When I arrived at the governor's yamen, after the transmission, I didn't see Yue Su go out to greet him in person, but Tong Zhou walked out and said that Lord Yue was waiting in the back hall, and asked Lord Zou and Gongzi to go in.

Usually Zou Jiaren visits, Yue Su personally goes out to greet him, and he didn't come out tonight, which is really puzzling, Zou Jiaren's heart can't help but "chuckle", so he can only bite the bullet and take his son to walk in with Tong Xuan.

The door of the back hall was closed, and as soon as a few people arrived at the door, they suddenly heard a scream from inside, and then there was no sound. Soon the door was opened, and first four servants came out, carrying a man with his back up, covered in blood, and it was impossible to see who it was. Immediately after, a strong smell of blood rushed into the noses of several people outside the door, others are good, Zou Feng smelled this smell, and his heart beat again, as if he would be punished like this later.
