Chapter 229

Sentimentality was only a matter of a moment, and soon Shen Zhi reined in this untimely emotion and asked, "Go to Wang Po's and solve this matter as soon as possible." ”

As she spoke, her eyes flashed slightly.

Count the days, it's time for Shen Yun to come back.

A remote and quiet house somewhere in the capital

"Have the people inside been fed?"

"I sent someone in, but I didn't eat, and I didn't know what was going on."

"I guess I haven't tried to escape yet, didn't I just run away once when I brought it back?"

"Hmph...... If she really let her run away so easily, our little life will not be saved. ”

“……”

In the dimly lit room, Wang Po was tied hand and foot and thrown under the window, unable to identify the situation in the room, and could only vaguely hear people outside talking about her.

She tried to move her hands and feet, but the result was still nothing, but her body had begun to be unbearable after a day of hunger, and the feeling of hunger was really uncomfortable.

It was supposed to be a firewood room or something, and it smelled damp and musty that hadn't been used for a long time, and it wasn't a pleasant smell.

Wang Po scolded secretly in her heart, although the second lady had already told her that as long as she suffered a little, she could successfully take her out of the house, but she never thought that she would be beaten up and then pretend to be dead and thrown out of the house.

Although the guards who started to attack had indeed lightened a lot of force, it was still fatal to hit the flesh and skin with such a wide board that half of the strength was unloaded.

Not to mention that after she was beaten, she was directly blindfolded and stayed here in the dark, not knowing where she was at this time.

However, at the same time, she became more and more jealous of Shen Zhi in her heart.

can even buy the guards, Shen Zhi still has many means behind her back that she doesn't know.

Suddenly, there was a chaotic movement outside the window, and someone seemed to exclaim "coming", and the footsteps of the original guard in front of the firewood room went into the distance.

As soon as Wang Po's heart moved, she subconsciously began to drag and wait, wanting to take the opportunity to get rid of the rope on her body that was tied by five flowers.

Before she could toss out any results, the door was opened with a "squeak", accompanied by a faint fragrance, a slender figure walked in against the light, slender, Xiao resembles his biological mother's delicate and picturesque facial features, eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, at this time, the other party is slightly narrowing his eyes to look at her attempt to break free from the rope shackles, as if smiling.

Wang Po suddenly froze.

"Looks like I'm not here at the right time?" Shen Zhi curled his lips slightly, as if he was puzzled.

"Where is the second young lady," the cold sweat trickled down from the back of the princess, and an old face that was as dry as a chrysanthemum hurriedly pulled out a dry smile and said: "The old slave has just been tied up for a long time, and his body bones are too hard, so he just wants to move." ”

"So that's the case," Shen Zhi glanced at the painting beside him, and commanded softly, "Untie her rope, what we need is someone who can lead the way, and if you can't even walk the road, how can you lead the way." ”

Before he could enter the painting, the guards on the side couldn't help but step forward and remind: "Miss, don't be deceived by the cunning old woman, she wanted to take the opportunity to escape when she was taken out of the Shen Mansion." ”

"It's okay," Shen Zhi chuckled, "as long as she does what she needs to do, she will naturally go wherever she wants." ”

She didn't finish her words, but Wang Po seemed to have heard what she was going to say later.

If you don't do what you should do and still want to run away, you naturally can't blame the other party for not showing mercy.

Thinking of the unpredictable thoughts and methods of the second young lady in front of her, Wang Po trembled, and the smile on her face was even more flattering and humble.

Only then did he step forward to untie the rope on her body and return to Shen Zhi's side.

Shen Zhi glanced at Wang Po with his eyes and said, "It's not too early, if you want to leave here early, take me to find Xu Po as soon as possible, if it's not your business, I will naturally let you go according to the agreement." ”

Wang Po's heart sank, and she bowed her head and answered yes.

Even Shen Zhi didn't expect that Xu Po, who was almost killed but survived by accident, hid in the capital and did not leave.

It's just that the place where she lives is really very remote, and if it weren't for Wang Po leading the way, it would have taken a lot of effort for her to find it.

It wasn't until she tossed and turned in several places in the interspersed alleys that Wang Po finally stopped.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Shen Zhi wouldn't have known that there was such a place in the capital.

Although it is still on the boundary of the capital, it is almost remoteness out of the suburbs.

At first glance, the shabby courtyard and sparse bluestone pavement look like a village.

It's just that it's better than the slums.

Wang Po pushed open the low door of one of the families and whispered, "This is it." ”

Shen Zhi came back to his senses and walked in.

It was a very simple house, with only a few bluestone slabs, mostly gravel, and the rest of the land was wet and grassy, which looked like it was being cleaned but not often.

And in this humble courtyard, there is only one room, and the door is closed at this time, and the whole house is quiet as if no one lives.

And at this moment, the people in the house seemed to hear the movement outside the courtyard, and shouted tremblingly, and the voice was old: "Is it Huzi, is Huzi back?" ”

Shen Zhi glanced at the princess beside him.

Wang Po smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Huzi is Xu Po's son, but a few years ago, he died a few years ago, and it is also for this reason that Xu Po cried blindly, and since then she has been paralyzed in bed, and the whole person is also a little crazy, and her brain is sometimes good and sometimes bad." ”

"If it weren't for the second lady to investigate the events of the year, I'm afraid I would have completely forgotten about this Xu Po." As she spoke, Wang Po sighed.

"It's all come to this point, what's the use of crying cats and fake mercy." Shen Zhi couldn't help but chuckle, and the sarcasm in his words was full of sarcasm.

Wang Po closed her mouth and didn't dare to speak anymore.

At this moment, the low door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a half-sized figure quickly flashed into the courtyard, shouting excitedly: "Grandma, I'm back......"

The voice came to an abrupt halt after seeing a few uninvited guests in the courtyard.

It was a child who looked to be only about ten years old, wearing an old white dress that looked like it had been washed, and there were vaguely patches. At this time, he was looking at them vigilantly, and his original excited expression was replaced by anger and vigilance: "Who are you and how did you break in?!" ”

Without waiting for Shen Zhi to say anything, the Wang Po on the side had already stepped forward with a very good look, and said kindly: "I am your grandmother's old acquaintance, and I just came here today because of some things, not to do anything bad." ”

The child was still vigilant, but soon, another voice came from the room: "Yuanzi, are you outside, who are you talking to?" ”

Wang Po raised her voice and said, "Xu Po, it's me." ”

Just this sentence completely silenced the people in the room. But soon, there was another "Bang! There was a loud bang.

"Grandma!" The expression of the child who was called Motoko changed, and he could no longer care about the uninvited guests in the yard, and rushed into the house.

After a while, an old voice said, "Lady Wang, bring your guests in." ”

The windows in the room were closed, and even a layer of dark curtains were drawn, so that the only places that could let in the light were clean.

Shen Zhi approached and was able to see the person sitting on the bed.

This is an old man who is older than Wang Po, with white hair, a thin face, and a hand on the quilt that is as thin as wood, and the veins are clearly visible.

When you don't speak or move, it's like a dead person.

At a glance, it is inexplicably a little scary.

The painter on the side couldn't help but take half a step back, not daring to move forward.

"I had long since guessed that there would be this day." Xu Po's voice was old and slow, and her sunken eyes were dim, which confirmed what Wang Po said that she was blind.

"What's still there?" Wang Po glanced at her and asked.

Xu Po said to the child on the side: "Yuanzi, go and bring the box I buried under the tree in the yard." ”

Shen Zhi's heart moved, the box in the yard?

Could it be that the evidence was hidden in that place?
