Chapter 104: Dirty Eyes
About a quarter of an hour later, Prince Zhao, Xu Nian, Zheng Yuan, Zheng Bang, Xiao Qiongzhi and others came to the main gate of Chu Mansion together.
The little guy in Chu Mansion, who was in charge of guarding the door, actually went out to greet him.
"Hello Lord Xu!" With a flattering smile, the little servant greeted Xu Nian, who was walking half a step behind Prince Zhao.
Last year, Chu Yunqing High School explored flowers, and Chu Mansion held a feast.
The county government, including Xu Nian, Zhu County Lieutenant and other important officials, were invited to come to the banquet, he saw Xu Nian at that time, and he still remembers.
Xu Nian was a little surprised, took a closer look at him, and then nodded at him, and asked quietly, "Your eldest brother and wife, Zhu Yu, where is it now, do you know?" ”
"Yes, sir." The little guy replied subconsciously.
"Then you can take us to him now." Xu Nian said.
"This ......" the little guy immediately hesitated.
He was busy offering his hospitality just now, and he didn't think about why Xu Nian would bring someone over.
Now, he noticed that Xu Nian had brought a lot of people over.
Moreover, among them, there are not only guards, but also majestic guards with knives.
This made him realize that it was not a simple matter for Xu Nian to find Zhu Yu.
"Zhu Qian, you take two people, go to the back door of the Chu Mansion to guard, don't let anyone in or out!"
"Xu Nian, you leave five people, guard at the gate, and don't let anyone in or out."
"Zhang Chao, catch this little guy and let him lead us honestly!" At this time, Prince Zhao had already realized that something was wrong from the little girl's hesitation.
He didn't bother to deal with such a small role, and directly ordered the guards around him and Xu Nian.
"Yes!" Zhu Qian, Xu Nian, and Zhang Chao immediately did so.
Among them, Zhang Chao's work is the simplest.
He took two steps forward, walked to the little guy, took out the knife on his waist, put it on the little guy's head, and commanded in a cold voice with an expressionless face, "Take us to see Zhu Yu immediately, otherwise, you will be killed now!" ”
"Spare your life! I'll lead the way. The little guy hurriedly did it.
He had already seen that Prince Zhao was an existence far beyond Xu Nian's identity through the behavior of Prince Zhao giving orders to Xu Nian and others, for fear that he would really anger Prince Zhao and lose his life in vain, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.
Soon, he took everyone into the main gate, crossed the front yard, and came to a place called "Lanxiangju" in the backyard.
This courtyard is relatively large, and although the courtyard gate is closed, there is a faint sound of a man and a woman frolicking inside.
The little servant stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and shouted inside, "Young lady, Zhu Gongzi, Chang Gongzi, the county magistrate has accompanied a nobleman, you come out to greet him!" ”
Unexpectedly, the people inside listened to his words and immediately became quiet, but there was no footsteps coming to open the door.
It seems that in a garbage place like Chu Mansion, it is easy to encounter some shady things when you are looking for someone by surprise.
Xiao Qiongzhi curled her lips happily.
Xu Nian also realized that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly let the remaining five guards around him kick in the door together.
When the door opened, I could see that in the main room opposite the door, there was a man and a woman, each of whom was scrambling to pick up the clothes that had been scattered on the ground and put them on.
Female, it seems, about seventeen or eighteen years old, looks a little similar to Zhu Yu, and is also human-like and dog-like, it should be the "young lady" Chu Yunqing's wife Zhu Shi.
The man, who looks like he is about twenty years old, is tall and looks quite thoughtful, but the obscenity in his eyebrows and eyes that can't be concealed makes people feel disgusting when they see it.
Xiao Qiongzhi's eyes widened deliberately, pointed at him, and asked the little guy, "That man, is it Zhu Yu?" ”
"No, he is the cousin of the young lady, Chang Gongzi Chang An." The little guy replied.
"Then where did Zhu Yu go?" Xiao Qiongzhi asked again.
"I don't know, in the morning, when Zhu Gongzi and Chang Gongzi came back from drinking tea outside, I obviously heard them say that this morning, they were going to play leaf cards together in Lanxiangju with the old lady and the young lady." The little guy said with some trepidation.
He noticed that Prince Zhao had begun to sink his face at this time, for fear that Prince Zhao would let Zhang Chao kill him with a knife because he didn't see Zhu Yu in a fit of anger.
"I haven't seen anyone play leaf cards yet, it turns out that the old lady and young lady of your Chu Mansion, Zhu Gongzi and Chang Gongzi are usually like this, playing leaf cards together!" Xiao Qiongzhi deliberately looked like a curious baby, and as she spoke, she looked at the pair of dog men and women in the main room seriously.
Anyway, she is only seven years old now, and she is still a real hillbilly, so she is reasonable, she has never seen a scene of men and women fooling around, and she doesn't know what "playing leaf cards" is like, which is normal.
And Prince Zhao looks like he is fourteen or five years old, so it's different.
Hearing himself say this, he must be very disgusted with the pair of dogs and men in the house!
"Little girl, that's not playing the leaf card, don't look closely, dirty eyes!" Sure enough, the next moment, Prince Zhao, who had already sunk his face, became even more ugly.
"Okay." When Xiao Qiongzhi's goal was achieved, he immediately pretended to be obedient and retracted his gaze.
Prince Zhao was very satisfied, looked at her approvingly, then turned his head, pointed to the pair of dog men and women in the house, and ordered Xu Nian in a deep voice with a disgusted face, "You and Mr. Zheng take someone over together, and interrogate Zhu Yu's whereabouts from the dog man and woman as soon as possible." ”
"Yes!" Xu Nian respectfully obeyed his orders.
Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly took advantage of being carried by Zheng Bang to hide from Prince Zhao, quietly turned his head from the back of Zheng Bang's neck, and looked at the pair of dog men and women in the main room again.
Soon, Xu Nian took Zheng Yuan and the five guards and strode into the house, straight to the point, and asked the pair of dog men and women in a deep voice, "Where is Zhu Yu now?" ”
Zhu and Chang An, at this time, had barely put on their underwear and middle clothes.
They glanced at each other, their expressions were a little shocked, and they didn't answer Xu Nian's question for a long time, probably in their hearts, thinking of excuses for quibbling.
"Speak quickly!" Xu Nian immediately urged a little impatiently, and at the same time, he glanced at the two guards beside him.
The two guards beside him immediately drew the knife on their waists at the same time and put it on the necks of Zhu and Chang An.
Zhu Shi and Chang An were suddenly frightened.
"My lord, may I ask you for my brother, what is the matter?" Zhu took the lead in asking tentatively and cautiously.
"Answer the question, wantonly disrupt the official's case, Jiang Shi, Zheng Gang, give her ten strokes of the cane first!" Xu Nian didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with her, so he directly rushed to the other two guards around him and gave orders.
"Adult"
Zhu tried to argue, but the next moment, Jiang Shi quickly took out a rag from his sleeve pocket, gagged her mouth, and escorted her out with the guard who held the knife to her neck.
Zheng Gang quickly found a high stool from the next room and placed it in the middle of the front yard, facing the entrance of the main house.
