Chapter 253: Denunciation
"Never!" Li Yuntian was taken aback when he saw that Zhao Xinyue wanted to kill Luo Deputy Qianhu, and hurriedly hugged her waist from behind. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick. Read the website
He knew that Zhao Xinyue hated Luo Deputy Qianhu now, and Luo Vice Qianhu really deserved to die according to the law of Da Ming, but Li Yuntian was still useful in keeping Luo Deputy Qianhu, and if Zhao Xinyue killed people at a young age, it would definitely leave a lot of psychological shadows.
"Let go of me, I'm going to kill this thief!" Zhao Xinyue struggled hard, her eyes were red, she was almost poisoned by Luo Deputy Qianhu just now.
"I promise you, I will let this man be punished as he deserves." Where did Li Yuntian dare to let go, and opened his mouth to comfort Zhao Xinyue.
Zhao Xinyue calmed down at this time, threw away the scissors in her hand, and stared at Deputy Luo Qianhu with her eyebrows uplifted, she believed that Li Yuntian would seek justice for her.
After taking off the official robe on Deputy Luo Qianhu, Li Manshan first carried the tightly bound Luo Deputy Qianhu to the attic with Song Dashan and Wang Zhen, and then changed into official robes and swaggered away from the gate of Zhao's house according to Li Yuntian's instructions.
There were two sergeants guarding the door, who were chatting with the spears in their hands and yawning, and when they saw Li Manshan wearing the costume of a deputy thousand households, they hurriedly cheered up and bowed.
At this time, it was dark, Li Manshan lowered his head, waved his hand at the two, walked out of the courtyard gate quickly, and soon disappeared into the night on the street corner.
"It's weird, why did Lord Qianhu go out so late?" Due to the similarity of Li Manshan and Luo Deputy Qianhu, the two sergeants didn't see his appearance clearly at all, and one of the sergeants couldn't help but feel a little curious when he looked at his back.
"It's easy to do things late, have you forgotten the preferences of Lord Qianhu?" Another sergeant said with a smile on his face.
The previous sergeant couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, he didn't know which little girl was taken by Luo Deputy Qianhu, it seemed that he would not be able to escape his clutches tonight.
Li Manshan walked around the street, took off his official robe, wrapped a brick and threw it into a well, and then sneaked back to the backyard of Zhao's house, climbed over the wall, and quietly returned to the attic of Zhao Xinyue's boudoir, so that the outside world would not think that Deputy Luo Qianhu would be in the attic.
Deputy Luo Qianhu had already realized that something was wrong with the situation at this time, if Li Yuntian and the four of them were from the Zhao family, then they would definitely not let him stay in the attic, and it seemed that these four people had been living in the attic for a while.
A terrible thought then came to his mind, could it be that these four people in front of him were the bandits who committed the bloody case of more than a dozen lives that Jining Mansion and Jining Wei were going to arrest?
Obviously, there are very few people in Jining Mansion and Jining Wei who know the inside story of this search for bandits, and if Deputy Luo Qianhu knows the true identity of Li Yuntian and the others, I am afraid that his face will be bloodless with fright.
Early the next morning, the Zhao family was calm, including Luo Deputy Qianhu's personal soldiers, no one cared about the disappeared Luo Deputy Qianhu, thinking that he had gone out for recreation.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Deputy Luo Qianhu still didn't show up, and his personal soldiers began to panic, but now it was a critical period for the mission, and Deputy Luo Qianhu would not be so careless and didn't return for two consecutive nights, so he began to look around in Zhao's family.
The sergeant who was on duty at the gate of Zhao's house two days ago quickly provided an important clue and witnessed Deputy Luo Qianhu leaving, but he didn't know where he went.
Just when the officers of the government and the sergeants of Jiningwei were brainlessly looking for Deputy Luo Qianhu in Zhaojiaji, a bad news came in the afternoon, and someone found Luo Deputy Qianhu's official robe in a well.
This made Zhao Jiaji immediately set off an uproar, and the people privately discussed this strange thing, secretly speculating about the life and death of Luo Deputy Qianhu.
Deputy Luo's personal soldiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported the news to Shen Qianhu who was on duty in the county seat of Dexian County, Shen Qianhu was taken aback by this, and hurriedly led people to Zhaojiaji to check.
Regarding the bizarre disappearance of Deputy Luo Qianhu, Shen Qianhu was confused, and he didn't know why Deputy Luo Qianhu had to leave so late.
Considering Deputy Luo's hobbies, Shen Qianhu suspected that Deputy Luo Qianhu might have encountered an accident when he was a child, so he asked his subordinates to check the family of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in the family, hoping to find clues from it.
At noon on the fourth day, Shi Hu hurried to Zhaojiaji under the command of Jiningwei, and Shen Qianhu hurriedly led people to greet him, and introduced the case to him with a depressed face.
Shi Hu naturally wanted to live in Zhao's mansion when he came, and in the courtyard where Luo Deputy Qianhu lived, Zhao Zeen had already asked his subordinates to clean up the room, and he also held a banquet to entertain Shi Hu at night.
After the dinner, Shi Hu returned to the small courtyard that had been heavily guarded, but he did not return to his bedroom, but pushed open the door of an inconspicuous wing.
"Little Wangye, there is no news of Deputy Luo Qianhu yet." In the room, a young man dressed as a guard was sitting on a chair reading a book, and Shi Hu arched his hand at him and said in a deep voice.
"This king has a hunch that the prince is in Zhaojiaji." The young man was Zhu Zhantan, put down the book in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Tell me to go down and double the hanging red." ”
"In addition, those who dare to harbor bandits will be guilty of the same crime!" Then, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly.
The reason why Zhu Zhantan suspected that the prince was hiding in Zhaojiaji was not speculation, he had collected enough information these days to determine that the area where the prince was located was in a large triangle composed of Zhaojiaji and the surrounding two townships.
Now that Deputy Luo Qianhu had an accident inexplicably, Zhu Zhantan naturally suspected that it was related to the prince, so he personally rushed to Zhao Jiaji to take command.
So, early the next morning, Shi Hu had people post notices on the streets and alleys of Zhaojiaji, doubling the reward for arresting the bandits, reaching an astonishing two thousand taels, which made the people of Zhaojiaji boil, and it was impossible for them to make so much money in their lives.
It's a pity that no one has any news of the bandits, so they can only watch the white bounty drooling, but this also stimulated the young and middle-aged men of Zhao Jiaji to search around in groups of three or five carrying sticks and other things.
At noon, Zhao Heiniu squeezed out the crowd of people who were chattering around and watching the reward notice on the wall, entered a tavern on the side of the road with a stern expression, asked for two dishes, and poured them alone, looking preoccupied.
"Wealth is in danger, and it's time for Lao Tzu to soar." After drinking a pot of wine, Zhao Heiniu, who was already a little drunk, put the wine glass in his hand on the table heavily, and muttered to himself with a somewhat hideous face.
"Little prince, there is already news of the prince." About half an hour later, Zhao Mansion and Shi Hu hurriedly walked into Zhu Zhantan's chamber and said with some excitement.
"Is the news true?" Zhu Zhantan was playing against a guard, and when he heard this, he didn't look up, and asked quietly while dropping the chess pieces in his hand on the chessboard.
Since the reward notice was issued a few days ago, many people have claimed to have seen suspicious bandits and want to receive the reward, but it turns out that they either recognize the wrong person or make it up, so Zhu Zhantan has become a little numb to these news.
"This time it should be true, according to a subordinate of the Zhao family, the prince may be hiding in a courtyard in the back house of the Zhao family." Shi Hu replied in a deep voice when he heard this.
"What?" Hearing this, Zhu Zhantan was taken aback, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shi Hu in surprise, looking extremely surprised.
"Does this person have a gap with the Zhao family, so he declares a personal vendetta?" Then, Zhu Zhantan's face turned cold and asked coldly.
"I have asked humbly, he has no grievances with the Zhao family." Shi Hu shook his head and explained, "According to this person, a young lady named Zhao Xinyue of the Zhao family suddenly increased her water consumption ten days ago, and a maid ring beside her often went out to buy pastries, and she couldn't eat those pastries at all, and she didn't reward them to other people. ”
"In addition, he also said that Deputy Luo Qianhu seems to have fallen in love with the young lady of the Zhao family, and has given gifts to that young lady several times, and Deputy Luo Qianhu is missing this time, and there is Yankuai is also related to the young lady of the Zhao family." After a moment's hesitation, Shi Hu added.
"Bring him to the king." Zhu Zhantan frowned and pondered for a while when he heard this, then threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess jar and ordered Shi Hu in a deep voice.
According to the subordinate of the Zhao family, ten days ago was when the prince and his party disappeared, and the disappearance of Deputy Luo Qianhu was also connected with the prince, could it be that Deputy Luo Qianhu touched the boudoir of the Zhao family in the middle of the night and wanted to misbehave, but was cleaned up by the prince's people?
Shi Hu arched his hand and walked away quickly, and the guard who was playing against Zhu Zhantan also stood up and bowed behind Zhu Zhantan.
"The little one kowtows to the adult." After a while, Shi Hu brought Zhao Heiniu in, and saw Zhu Zhantan sitting on a chair looking at him, and Shi Hu only stood aside, and immediately realized that Zhu Zhantan was an official bigger than Shi Hu, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed to him.
"Ben Gongzi asks you, is what you said earlier true?" Zhu Zhantan glanced at Zhao Heiniu, his face sank, and he said coldly, "If you are lying to this son, then this son will definitely kill you." ”
"The adults are clear, and the small ones are true, if there is half a lie, there are five thunders in the sky." Zhao Heiniu was startled, and hurriedly swore an oath.
"Since that's the case, then this son will believe you." Zhu Zhantan didn't feel like Zhao Heiniu was lying, so he groaned and said to Shi Hu, "Go, search that courtyard." ”
"Humble duty understands." Shi Hu answered, and walked towards the door.
"Adult, the little one has something to ask for, and I hope the adult agrees." At this time, Zhao Heiniu suddenly spoke.
"Say." Zhu Zhantan's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at him quietly.
"My lord, if those bandits are really hiding in the eldest lady's place, the little one wants the adult to call the shots and reward the eldest lady and the maid ring around her to the little one." When Zhao Heiniu heard this, he said to Zhu Zhantan with a flattering face.
He has long been in love with Zhao Xinyue and Xiaoling, but he doesn't dare to think about the disparity between the identities of the two sides, but now the situation is different, if the robbers are hiding in Zhao Xinyue's boudoir, then the Zhao family has committed the big crime of harboring the bandits, and they will have to eat a lawsuit.
This time, Jining Mansion and Jining Wei put up such a big battle to catch those bandits, even if the Zhao family's magical powers were great, they could not be spared, so he wanted to take the opportunity to ask for Zhao Xinyue and Xiaoling.
"Okay, as long as I can catch those bandits, my son will call the shots and reward them to you!" Zhu Zhantan's brows furrowed and then relaxed, and he agreed to Zhao Heiniu, he already thought that Zhao Heiniu was a greedy person, as long as she could catch the prince, she would not bother to care about the life or death of Zhao Xinyue and Xiaoling.
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie!" Zhao Heiniu was overjoyed when he heard this, and kowtowed to Zhu Zhantan again and again, and his mind had already begun to fantasize about pressing Zhao Xinyue, the eldest lady of the Zhao family, under him and ravaging him fiercely.
But Zhao Heiniu forgot that Zhao Xinyue, as the eldest lady of the Zhao family, could harbor "bandits" in her boudoir for no reason? One
