Chu Yu sighed twice and said quite distressedly, Hou De was sweating on his forehead, and saw Chu Yu ask him about the rules.

"Young Master Qiyu, Xiaodouzi is guilty of stealing, yesterday Xia Guan received a report from the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion that the theft was stolen, and the Xia Guan heard that he hurriedly took someone over, and just saw this kid sneaking outside the Chen Mansion, and he was an accomplice at a glance."

Hou De said leisurely, it seems that he has already thought of a way to deal with it.

Xiaodouzi gritted his teeth, looking at Hou De and Chu Yu with resentful eyes, and he had no hope of getting out alive for a long time.

He would go outside the Chen Mansion because it was the only way to go to the appointment, who knew that this kind of thing would suddenly happen? Just because he was passing by, he was an accomplice, Xiaodouzi couldn't help but suspect that Chu Yu and Hou De had joined forces to deceive him, otherwise how could it be so coincidental?

Chu Yusai gave him a note and asked the third watch to go to the alley where they met yesterday morning, and the Chen Mansion happened to have a theft case at this agreed time, which was obviously colluded first, otherwise how could there be so many coincidences?

Now these two are still playing double reeds in front of him, who are they going to show for?

"Burglary? If you cut off your fingers, you will be killed. ”

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows, it seems that Hou De had been prepared, otherwise he would not be so calm.

"Yes, Xia Guan is interrogating whether he has any other accomplices, but this kid is stubborn and refuses to confess, so Xia Guan has no choice but to torture him."

Hou De looked at Xiao Douzi, who only had half a life left, and said in a good tone, he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word, but there was anger in his eyes.

Distort the facts, make something out of nothing!

But as Chu Yu said, even if he knew that he was innocent, he couldn't do anything, because he had no power or power, he was just an ordinary person, and he was a small and humble ant in the crowd, and he couldn't do anything.

"If you have to pay attention to evidence, you can assume that he is an accomplice of those thieves just because he is outside the Chen Mansion, this is a bit too hasty, right? Waiting? ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiaodouzi's eyes, this corrupt official was helping him?

"Young master, don't you know, it's not the first time this kid is a habitual offender to do this kind of thing."

Hou De explained, and Chu Yu suddenly sneered.

The cell was filled with his laughter, and everyone looked at Chu Yu puzzled, even Hou De was a little puzzled by what Chu Yu was laughing at.

"People are not saints and sages, but it is too funny to make a mistake and identify his character, could it be that Lord Hou has not made any mistakes?"

Chu Yu approached Hou De's side and asked, and Hou De swallowed his saliva.

"Young master, the subordinate officials have also made mistakes, but these are two different things."

Hou De argued, but obviously Chu Yu didn't want to hear him talk nonsense.

"I don't hide it from my lord, Xiaodouzi was with Young Master Ben last night, but Young Master Ben asked Xiaodouzi to help Young Master Ben buy a bottle of wine, but I didn't see Xiaodouzi here, so I asked you to arrest him."

Chu Yu frowned, very disappointed.

Hou De chuckled in his heart, seeing that Chu Yu's tone was trying to protect Xiaodouzi.

"Young Master, how can you be with such a little ruffian? Or do you want him to buy you wine in the middle of the night? ”

Hou De was puzzled and asked, how could they be friends when they only met yesterday?

"Young Master Ben looked at this kid very pleasantly, and wanted to take him back to the capital in the future to be a caretaker in my mansion, how could Young Master Ben let this capable person go? As for buying wine, it was natural that Young Master Ben wanted to bow down with him. ”

Chu Yu's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was really no worse than others when he lied.

It was not only Hou De who was surprised but also Xiaodouzi, Xiaodouzi sneered in his heart, does this corrupt official know what he is talking nonsense?

"Young master, how can you be a prince to worship such a person?"

Hou De is in a hurry, if Chu Yu really bows to this kid......

Xiao Douzi, who was already so tired that he was about to close his eyes, cleared his head a little when he heard Hou De's words.

Prince?

If it is the prince, then it is not the son of the Emperor of Chu......

Then he scolded corrupt officials one by one, isn't that scolding the current emperor?

Xiaodouzi's body trembled, he thought it was just a petty official from the capital, but he didn't expect it to be the prince!

"So what? In the eyes of Young Master Ben, he is a virtuous person, and Lord Hou has no evidence to prove that Xiaodouzi is an accomplice of those thieves, and Young Master Ben can prove that he was with Young Master Ben last night, so can't this prove his innocence? ”

Chu Yu said slowly, Hou De gritted his teeth and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, all of which was seen by Chu Yu.

The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared on his mouth.

Xiao Douzi looked at Chu Yu with both eyes, and his resentment towards him disappeared in an instant.

This man is actually quite good......

"The young master has said so, so it can naturally prove that this kid is innocent, but the young master may guarantee his character?"

Hou De asked rhetorically, Chu Yu smiled lightly and nodded.

"Nature."

Houde's face darkened a little.

"Why don't you release them soon?"

Hou De threw up his sleeves and shouted at the people around him, Chu Yu.

Xiao Douzi's eyes became more and more blurred, and he only felt that someone hugged him, but through his clothes he felt the coldness from that person.

It's as cold as snow falling on a winter day, turning into water and seeping into the bone marrow.

……

Inside the Shaw Mansion

Xiao Yongjue's return did add a little joy to the Xiao Mansion, and the laughter of the old lady could be heard from time to time in the Fulu Courtyard, looking happy.

It was precisely because of Xiao Yongjue's arrival that when Xiao Changge went to greet the old lady, the old lady did not find all kinds of excuses to drive her away as usual, but let her in.

This should be the first time Xiao Changge has asked the old lady to say goodbye since he woke up from falling into the water, and when she came, the sisters in each room had arrived.

On weekdays, Xiao Changge was the first to come, but today the sun came out in the west, and they were even earlier than her.

"Changge has seen grandma, father, mother."

Xiao Changge saluted, but the old lady held Xiao Yongjue's hand and talked happily, and when she saw Xiao Changge coming, she didn't call her to get up, leaving Xiao Changge standing in front of her alone, and it was not great to get up.

Just bowed slightly, waiting for the old lady to call her to get up, but she couldn't wait for the old lady's words.

"Changge, you get up first."

Xiao Yongde glanced at the old lady, and seeing that the old lady ignored Xiao Changge's existence, Xiao Yongde couldn't bear to speak.

"Yes."

Xiao Changge got up and stepped aside in a respectful manner.

"Now that you're up, what are you still doing? Do you want me, an old woman, to ask you to sit down? ”

The old lady didn't even look at it, but this yin and yang weird words were obviously said to Xiao Changge.

Everyone covered their mouths and snickered, but Xiao Yayan laughed sneeringly, which made everyone's eyes look at her.

and Xiao Yongde's gaze at her was one more warning.

Seeing Xiao Yongde's eyes, Xiao Yayan gritted her teeth and lowered her head and shut up.

He thought that today's old lady was willing to let Xiao Changge ask her to say goodbye to her, but he didn't expect to treat her like this.

Is that any different from embarrassing her in public?

If you are so unwelcome, why do you want to let her ask for peace and let her suffer this grievance?

"Yes."

Xiao Changge was not angry, answered softly, and then sat next to Xiao Changle.

Xiao Yongjue also noticed that the people here didn't have a good impression of Xiao Changge, and two days after he came back, his sister had already told him everything Xiao Changge had done in the Xiao Mansion, no matter what, Xiao Changge was too rampant.

This made Xiao Yongjue's image of her directly decrease, and his attitude was quite cold.

Yan is his mother, Xiao Changle is his sister, no matter what, he is biased towards Xiao Changle's side.

However, he also admired Xiao Changge for not even caring about his own appearance, just for a calligraphy and painting nominated by Emperor Chu himself, this kind of stupid thing can only be done by such stupid people.

It's better now, the face is ruined, and even the reputation is not much better.

Even if it is the daughter of the Xiao family, it is still a question whether she can marry in the future, and staying in the Xiao family will only disgrace the Xiao family.

He could understand why the old lady was so resistant to Xiao Changge, he thought the same as the old lady, such a person who disgraced the Xiao Mansion was not suitable for the Xiao family.

It's just that he just came back, and he needs to keep a low profile.

"Jue'er, you've been with me for the past two days, why don't you let Le'er accompany you outside today?"

The old lady said kindly, even in a pampered tone.

And this kind of tone and eyes are a luxury for Xiao Changge.

I want the old lady to show her such an expression, unless the sun really comes out in the west.

"No matter how long I accompany my grandmother, my grandson is not tired, could it be that my grandmother dislikes her grandson too clingy?"

Xiao Yongjue smiled mildly and half-jokingly, but it made the old lady anxious, and the old lady hurriedly retorted.

"You can accompany your grandmother, will your grandmother really dislike it? It's just that men should focus on the overall situation, you can't be at home all the time, you should walk around more with your friends, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also asking when you will come back a while ago. ”

The old lady said with a reluctant face, and Yan sneered.

"Mother, Jue'er is joking with you, Jue'er has grown up, he will definitely make time to do these things, and now he wants to accompany his mother, how can his mother push Jue'er out? When I went back to the room yesterday, I kept asking about my mother's physical condition. ”

Yan's words made the old lady happy, just like eating dates.

"Prince? After I came back the day before yesterday, I went to the palace to see the emperor, and by the way, I went to see the prince, and the prince is still the same as before, but he has been asking about Le'er's situation. ”

Xiao Yongjue looked at Xiao Changle, Xiao Changle's eyes widened when he heard this, and his face turned red.

"Brother, is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really asking me?"

Xiao Changle asked happily, and Xiao Yongjue nodded.

"Of course, he also asked about his grandmother's situation, seeing that the prince cares about his grandmother and Le'er so much, I also invited the prince to attend his grandmother's birthday banquet in a few days, and then Le'er you will be able to meet your prince's brother."

Xiao Yongjue doted and said, Chu Yan had already been given to Xiao Changle in these words.

Xiao Changge's eyebrows twisted slightly, and he was shocked.

The old lady's birthday banquet Chu Yan is also coming?

It's a lot of fun.

"Brother, who told you to do this?"

Xiao Changle said shyly, but his tone was excited and happy.

made the people around him laugh, Xiao Changle's mind was afraid that everyone in the whole mansion knew that Xiao Changle was devoted to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.
