Chapter Seventy-One: A Thief

Hu Lai didn't have time to pay attention to her, and greeted her with a smile on his face, "The little one has seen His Royal Highness King Yu, the princess." I wonder what the two of you are doing here?"

Jiang Jingyu didn't look at him, and took the lead in stepping in, followed by Shen Xizhi. The two passed by the empty courtyard and stopped outside the room. "It's all locked. Shen Xizhi glanced at the room here and shook his head at Jiang Jingyu.

"Your Highness, Your Royal Highness King Yu, the little ones can be explained......! Those are people with sick brains, crazy, and can only be locked up......" Hulai was held by the guards, still persevering to defend himself.

Suddenly, the rooms on the far side were opened, and several children rushed out first, shouting and rushing at the two of them. An old woman and an old man followed.

The old woman cried out, "Something with a thousand cuts!

The old man raised his crutches, "Let you make trouble!

"Dad!mother, stop fighting!" Hu Lai exclaimed in a trembling voice.

After a short time, the Hulai family was tied up. A few children cried, and the pair of old men also cursed sharply, Hu Moshi woke up, turned his head and saw that his family was tied up, and he fainted again.

"The prince spares his life, the princess spares his life, the villain, this father and mother are not sensible, you two adults are a lot, don't worry about them!" Hu Lai begged for mercy.

Shen Xizhi glanced at the locks on several doors, "The manager said that the locks were some crazy people, but in fact, it seems that the ones who are not closed are really crazy." ”

Beads of sweat rolled down Hu Lai's forehead, and he complained in his heart that a few people were dragging his feet, while looking forward to Hu Jun's arrival soon.

I don't know if Hu Lai's prayer worked, there was a commotion outside the door, and it turned out that someone from the East Palace had arrived.

"The third brother is so big. Jiang Zerui ignored the people of Yuwang's Mansion and came in directly with his own people, and when he saw the old Hu family who was tied up and couldn't move, he subconsciously glanced at Hu Jun, but he didn't have time to think about it. "I don't know where the eldest brother provoked the third brother, and asked the third brother to run to Shantang to spread wild?"

Jiang Jingyu bowed his hand to him meaningfully and said, "The prince has been busy preparing for the palace banquet recently, and he has no time to take care of the affairs under his hands. Therefore, the courtiers had the courage to come here to share the prince's worries and solve problems. ”

"That's a nice thing to say. Jiang Zerui has always pretended to be upright, even at this time, he also had a friendly smile on his face, "Who doesn't know that this good hall was built under the auspices of the main hall, and you came to make trouble and kidnap people with great fanfare today, no matter what, you should always give an explanation." ”

As he spoke, he instructed Hu Jun to untie people. Hu Jun stepped forward, and just stretched out his hand before he touched the rope, a cold sword was horizontal in front of his hand, and when he looked up, he saw Wei He.

"What does Commander Wei mean?" Hu Jun said with a cold face.

"Yuwang Mansion is on business. Wei He had a cold face, "Please also ask the idlers to retreat." ”

"You!" Hu Jun also wanted to draw his sword, but the two of them were the guards of the Yuwang Mansion and the East Palace, and if the two of them faced each other, it would mean that the two mansions would tear their faces.

Wei He took the lead in drawing his sword, so he didn't have so many worries, but Hu Jun had to think about it. He looked at Jiang Zerui, who frowned and shook his head at him slightly.

Hu Jun reluctantly retreated.

"Big brother, save me, big brother!" Hu Lai stopped doing it, thinking that Hu Jun was afraid, he hurriedly shouted. As soon as he screamed, the old and the young who were tied up began to cry and scream.

Shen Xizhi was tired of listening, as if there were countless mosquitoes noisy in his ears.

"Why is the prince in a hurry to ask the teacher for his crimes?" Jiang Jingyu pointed to the lock on the door, "You might as well ask this good steward first, why do you lock so many people in the room in broad daylight." Perhaps it is also worth asking why the first people to move in were kicked out in less than a decade. It should even be asked why this good church still charges a rental fee, which is ...... every month Five hundred texts. ”

Every time Jiang Jingyu said a word, Jiang Zerui's face turned cold.

Hu Lai shuddered and begged for help: "No, it's not like this! Your Royal Highness the Prince, the little one is working hard to take care of the good hall for you, absolutely, absolutely not...... It's all a conspiracy of King Yu, he wants to sow discord!

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this person has no evidence for his empty words, but we have witnesses. Shen Xizhi asked people to pick the lock, and in the room, a skinny child hid in the arms of an old man.

The old man stands like a dying tree. He walked out of the door with the child, ignoring Jiang Zerui, who was the crown prince, and wanted to kneel down to Jiang Jingyu, but was stopped. The old man didn't force it, and said, "The old man and his grandson thank King Yu for saving his life." ”

Immediately after, the second door opened, and an elderly couple walked out, and they supported each other and walked to Jiang Jingyu's side. Silent, but with the clearest goal.

When the locked doors were opened, there were forty or fifty people, old and young, they were silent, their faces were yellow and thin, but they were all on Jiang Jingyu's side, which was in obvious contrast with Jiang Zerui.

"You ......" Jiang Zerui didn't know the actual situation, but he also sensed that something was wrong, so many people were locked in the house in the blue sky and daytime, there must be a ghost in his heart.

He looked at the trembling Hu Lai family, and suddenly understood, but he had lost the opportunity. He calmed down and said to the crowd, "This matter is an oversight on the part of the Temple, and I will give you a satisfactory answer in the future." ”

He explained to a group of flat-headed people that he had lowered his posture, but no one answered him.

Shen Xizhi said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince takes a closer look at them, the purpose of the construction of the good hall is just to let the helpless people have a house to shelter from the rain. But now, they are locked in the house at every turn, and you look at the clothes they are wearing, and now they are so thinly dressed in autumn. How much better is this than those beggars out there?"

Hu Lai's family was silent, but they didn't find out in their conscience that they wanted to repent, but they were thinking about how to get out. Hu Jun approached Jiang Zerui when everyone was not paying attention.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may also wish to inquire, the people who really need to live in have not come in, but many people with children and daughters have been abandoned here. As long as you pay 500 wen a month, you can stuff people into the good hall, and you don't care about it from now on. The emperor promoted filial piety to rule the world, but the crown prince didn't seem to care. ”

"As for where did those real beggars go?" Shen Xizhi smiled sarcastically, "Those who could be driven away were driven away, and those who couldn't be driven away were dragged to the alley by Hu Lai and beaten to death, so they found a random place to bury them." The people were afraid of your commander Hu and Hu Lai's revenge, so they didn't dare to report to the official. ”

She sighed, "So I and the prince are cleaning up the mess for His Highness." ”

Listening to her words and looking at those people who hated him, Jiang Zerui suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

This good hall was built by him watching, and he was praised by the people because of it, and he was in the limelight, but he trusted Hu Jun and handed everything over to him to arrange, but he didn't expect it......

"Hu Jun, you-"

A sword slashed across Jiang Zerui's neck.
