This is the backyard of Wanhualou, surrounded by a two-person high wall, which was specially built to prevent the girl from escaping, and from the stable you must pass through the firewood house, so you will inevitably have to meet the big man.

But there is no one in the stable, it is really inappropriate for Xiao Zhengzi to fall from the sky like this, he thought about it, and decided to go back to the secret passage first, and then make plans.

At this time, a horse beside him was frightened for some reason, and suddenly his front legs were raised, and a long neighing made him flash.

He endured the pain in his buttocks and wanted to get up quickly, but as soon as he raised his hand, he realized that his hand was pressed on a pile of horse manure, what kind of life did he have?

When he got up again, he caught a glimpse of a person like a wall blocking the light from Wanhualou, and he turned around, it was the big man at the door of the firewood room.

"Who?"

The big man opened his mouth, and his voice was as muffled as a bell, which made people feel out of breath.

With the sophistication and tactfulness of serving people for many years, Xiao Zhengzi immediately put on a flattering face and said flatteringly:

"Hey, hey, uncle, I, I'm here to lead the horse to my master, this horse is disobedient, flashed me, you see, this horse manure is still in my hands!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to show the big man, who couldn't help frowning even though he was rude.

The big man looked left and right, his eyes narrowed, his eyebrows stood up, and he said:

"I've been standing at the door of the firewood room, and I have to pass by the firewood room to get to the stable, why didn't I see you?"

Xiao Zhengzi thought to himself, this big man seems to be a reckless man, but he still has some eyes, and he hasn't deceived him.

As he got up, he thought in his mind how to answer his question, and when he got up, he bent his waist and tried to minimize his sense of existence, and explained:

"Hehe, the little one is short, and he is wearing a black dress, uncle, you are naturally not easy to notice, but when the little one came over just now, you can see you, uncle, as long as you go to that station, that majesty is difficult to ignore, and the small one is afraid of disturbing you, uncle, so he slipped over."

He shouted uncle after uncle on the left, and the big man who was just a thug was also very beautiful in his heart, and looked him up and down twice, and finally waved his hand and said:

"Go ahead."

"Hey, yes, thank you, uncle, thank you."

Xiao Zhengzi responded continuously, no matter whose horse was next to him, he took it and left, and did not forget to turn around and salute the big man as he walked.

The big man proudly paced back to the door of the firewood room, holding a wooden stick about two feet long and as thick as a small arm in his hand and knocking it on the palm of the other hand to show his majesty.

Xiao Zhengzi led the horse to the back door, the horse was either his own, or he was disobedient, always shaking his head and tail to make trouble for him.

As soon as he walked to the back door, seeing that victory was in sight, the big man suddenly stopped him.

"Stop!"

His body stiffened, and he really wanted to ride on the horse and slip away, but no, he couldn't show his stuff, Ling'er was still in the secret passage, it didn't matter if he died, he just couldn't affect her.

"Yes, uncle, you called me?"

He stood still, turned and nodded.

The big man approached him slowly, looked him up and down again and again, and finally squinted his eyes and said:

"Why do I look at you so awkwardly?"

As he spoke, he walked around him again,

"But what's so awkward about that...... I can't say it, it's a little weird. ”

Xiao Zhengzi's heart tightened, but he still had a smiling face on his face, and said with a big grin:

"Hehe, uncle, look at you, you are burly, you look like a general, look at me again, you are as thin as a small shrimp, you are used to seeing yourself in such a good figure, look at me again, of course I feel awkward."

Another sycophant, the big man also laughed a little, waved his hand, and felt that it was useless to think too much, so he said impatiently:

"Let's go, let's go."

"Hey, yes, uncle......"

As soon as his words fell, he heard a sudden commotion in the Wanhua Building, the shouts of the women were endless, and the sound of breaking cups and plates, and then he heard a loud shout:

"Shut up! The man is on the left, the woman is on the right, all stand for me! You, go and call all the people in Wanhualou here for me, one less, I want your head! ”

The big man and the little Zheng Zi were both startled.

"W-What's going on?"

Dahan muttered to himself.

Xiao Zhengzi's heart jumped, and he immediately thought of Lin Ling'er's disappearance, who else could make such a big move besides the officers and soldiers?

It seems that Nangong Jue has already launched a search, and this claw has reached the brothel.

"Uncle, I'll go first......"

Xiao Zhengzi didn't dare to stay for a moment, the secret passage couldn't go back, if he was caught here, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, even if he was caught, it couldn't be here, so he couldn't care about the big man, turned around and led the horse and wanted to slip away.

At this time, a man happened to call Dahan and took all the girls in the firewood room out, and the man saw Xiao Zhengzi's back and hurriedly asked:

"Who rode out just now?"

The big man said:

"Oh, it's a little minion. What kind of menacing people? ”

"It's someone from the prince's mansion, saying that there is a woman lost in the prince's mansion, and there is a little eunuch, this is not the prince sent people to look for it in Jintan City, this will find Wanhualou!"

"Woman? Eunuch? ”

"Don't think about it, hurry up and take all the girls in the firewood room out, I hope you don't come here, you won't be able to eat and walk around!"

The big man pondered as he walked towards the firewood room, when he suddenly patted his head and exclaimed:

"Milk/milk/, I said that I just looked at how the dog slave was so awkward, and he was a eunuch!"

This guy's reflex arc is too long, just now I saw that Xiao Zhengzi was obviously a man, but his face was oily and slippery, and he couldn't even see a scumbag, and the voice when he spoke, obviously sissy, he looked like a person who was neither male nor female, and now that this person reminded him, he remembered, isn't he just a eunuch?

This discovery shocked both of them, and the big man hurriedly led the horse and chased him out, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell the man:

"You go and report to the top, and I'll chase after you."

The man shouted at him:

"Don't forget to give me a share of the bounty after receiving the reward!"

Xiao Zhengzi rode a horse and galloped on the street, it was late, ordinary people had already closed their doors, and the sound of his horse's hooves at this moment was particularly abrupt, and it poured into people's ears with a dada, and the kung fu of the front and rear feet, the big man soon found him.

"Stop!"

He chased and shouted all the way, Xiao Zhengzi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, what was the big man doing when he caught up? Although he is not an officer or soldier, his chase is also very strange, he can't be tied up by anything, Ling'er is still waiting for him in the secret passage, she says "I'll wait for you here", he can't let her wait too long.

While thinking about it, he pumped the horse's buttocks hard, and the horse ran forward frantically, and Xiao Zhengzi felt that he was about to be stunned.

He ran for a long time, when suddenly, a large net appeared in front of him, and he couldn't dodge it at all, and he fell from his horse, and fell to the ground, and the bones seemed to fall apart.

When he stopped, a pair of black leather boots had appeared in front of him, and along the boots, what he saw was Nangong Jue's cold face.

Nangong Jue just looked at him coldly, and then without saying a word, he turned around and left.

And he is naturally tied and shelved, he has a dead heart, why is he so stupid to be caught?

was caught by Nangong Jue, and he must have been tortured again to force him to tell Ling'er's whereabouts.

But what he was worried about was not this, what he was worried about was that Ling'er was alone in the secret passage, without eating or drinking, what would she do?

Unfortunately, he was not taken back to the Prince's Mansion, but to Wanhualou.

At this moment, in the large hall of Wanhualou, everyone was still standing in turn according to the orders of the officers and soldiers just now, men on the left and women on the right.

Men are naturally prostitutes, women are girls and maids in brothels, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who know the prince, and they all bow their heads in shame at this time, not daring to see people.

The women are much more promising, all of them are calm and composed, anyway, there are no ghosts in their hearts, at this time, when they saw the prince coming, they all raised their eyes and secretly aimed at the prince, a man in the wind of the jade tree, if they were given a chance, they would definitely pounce on it to flatter.

Nangong Jue's subordinates threw Xiao Zhengzi into the middle of the hall, and because he was tied, Xiao Zhengzi lost his balance, and rolled on the ground with a grunt before he froze, but he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

Seeing this, other unrelated people were shocked, thinking in their hearts that this is the person the prince is looking for?

Nangong Jue was dressed in a white robe, a black cloak, and there was a cold aura all over his body, and his strength was incompatible with the fat powder in Wanhualou.

He stared at Xiao Zhengzi condescendingly, and his pure timbre revealed the coldness of eating bones:

"Say, where is she?"

Xiao Zhengzi pursed his lips, he couldn't speak, he would lose if he said too much, so he wouldn't say a word.

Not only did he not speak, but he simply closed his eyes, with an attitude of wanting to kill or chop you up.

Nangong was never angered by him, the people around her had already been found, would she be far away?

At this time, the big man had already been brought up, and most of the people were afraid of the prince and wanted to flatter, and they wanted to get some reward, which was the most practical.

"Knock on His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Dahan knelt down in front of Nangong Jue and kowtowed again and again.

Nangong Jue's cold gaze swept at him, then continued to fall on Xiao Zhengzi, and asked plainly:

"Where did you find him?"

"If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, it will be in the horses and stables."

Dahan stammered nervously.

In the next second, without him talking, Shen Cheng had already taken someone to the stable to search.

I only heard him ask:

"Didn't you find anyone else?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, no, no, there is only him, he said at the time, saying that he brought a horse to his master."

Lead the horse to the master? Nangong Jue knew that this was mostly a lie, maybe Lin Ling'er was hidden among these people, she might be pretending to be a man, or she might be pretending to be a Qing/Lou woman, who knows?
