Chapter 596: The Man Who Wants to Commit Suicide
Zhao Yun felt a little ashamed.
"Don't say that, I didn't kill this beast last night."
"But you dealt him the fatal blow, so we were able to kill him this morning."
But at the same time, the staff apologized to Zhao Yun.
After all, it was in your own family that something like this happened.
"Alright, outside, it's just an accident."
Zhao Yun gave up his hand and left immediately.
The staff was worried about Xu Dong's affairs and hurried to Xu Dong's room.
Lang Zhong has arrived, and the staff looks very nervous.
"Lang Zhong, Mr. Xu is fine, right?"
"Don't worry about the outside of the staff, it's just some skin trauma."
Just then, the butler came in.
"Outside, can you take a step to speak?"
The outsider nodded, and then came outside.
The two walked together to a gazebo.
The clerk asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
"It's still about Xu Dong's children."
The staff was immediately displeased, did the housekeeper have an opinion on Xu Dong?
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
"The little one has already learned that the thief found Xu Dong in Xuanyuan Pavilion, so why did Xu Dong go to Xuanyuan Pavilion?"
"What did you say?" The staff still couldn't believe it.
"Outside, you don't have any doubts about him in your heart, treat him as a good person, so you will feel unbearable about what the little one said, but you must believe the little one."
Of course, the outsiders understand the steward's loyalty.
He paced around the room.
He still didn't want to believe the butler's words.
"Outside, you have to believe me."
"Okay, I already know this matter in my heart, you go down first."
The butler left, but sighed inwardly.
Zhao Yun and the others were busy packing up their things and preparing to leave.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and the clerk walked in suspiciously.
Zhao Yun raised his head in surprise, looked at the outsider, showed a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "Outsider, why are you here?" ”
The staff member frowned, and said in a serious tone: "Mr. Zhao, I want to ask about last night's incident." ”
Zhao Yun felt very strange, couldn't help but scratch his head, and said, "What happened last night? Haven't you already said it all? ”
Outside the staff clasped their hands to their chests.
"I want you to be more detailed, in which room was Xu Dong caught by the bad guys at that time?"
A faint smile rose at the corner of Zhao Yun's mouth, and he looked at the staff member with a little doubt, and said: "Outside the staff, you should be more familiar with your own situation, how can you not know where Xu Dong was arrested by the thief?" ”
There was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes.
The staff member frowned slightly, his face turned slightly red, and he said with a little embarrassment: "This ...... Of course, I know about it, but I just want to confirm it again. ”
Zhao Yun said in a relaxed tone on his face: "At that time, I saw the thief grabbing Xu Dong outside, so I did it directly. ”
The staff had no choice but to leave.
After a while, Xu Dong woke up and came in.
I saw that the staff had a gloomy face, and his face was particularly ugly.
He frowned tightly and asked Xu Dong in a serious tone, "What happened last night?" ”
Xu Dong had tears in his eyes, and his voice was crying, and he said, "Outside, I'm ...... I met the bad guys. ”
The staff member stared at Xu Dong and continued to ask, "Then why did you appear near Xuanyuan Pavilion?" ”
There was a hint of hope in the eyes of the outsider, hoping that he would say that he was going to the toilet.
However, Xu Dong was struggling, he lowered his head, his face was as red as a ripe apple, his eyes were evasive, and he didn't know what to say.
A wave of anger suddenly swelled in the hearts of the outsiders.
He scolded secretly in his heart: "Okay, you Xu Dong, there is really a problem!" It seems that the butler is right. ”
His face became unusually ugly, as if he was covered by a dark cloud.
He glared at Xu Dong fiercely, snorted angrily, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.
Xu Dong looked at the back of the departing staff, and his heart was full of fear and uneasiness.
He thought to himself: "It's over, the staff must have found something, what should I do now?" ”
Zhao Yun and the three of them clasped their fists and saluted the staff, and said, "Outside, let's say goodbye and come back to visit when we have time in the future." ”
The staff smiled and nodded in response: "Okay, come often when you have time." ”
After the three of them left, Zhao Yun's brows furrowed slightly, and he began to ponder the words of the outsider in his heart.
He thought to himself: "The words of the outside of the party seem to have a deep meaning. Perhaps, Xu Dong really has a problem. ”
Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but regret it: "At that time, everyone shouldn't have been so impulsive and killed the thief directly." If you can interrogate him about something, maybe you will find more. ”
However, after thinking about it, he comforted himself again: "But what does all this have to do with me? Don't be nosy. ”
Youzhou, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Xi Yu took a slow step and decided to go out for a walk.
He strolled down the street, his eyes full of confusion.
Suddenly, he saw many people running in a hurry, all with surprises and curiosity on their faces.
Xi Yu couldn't help frowning and looked at them suspiciously.
He stopped a passer-by and asked anxiously, "What's going on?" Why is everyone running? ”
The man gasped for breath and replied with a look of surprise on his face, "It looks like someone is trying to kill himself on a bridge!" Everyone rushed to see the excitement. ”
When Xi Yu heard this, he was stunned.
He decided to check it out too.
More and more people are running wildly on the street, and Xi Yu is squeezed around by the crowd, and one is careless, and almost trips over.
"Right...... I'm sorry, Prime Minister, the small one didn't mean it! The man looked at Xi Yu in horror, and his voice trembled a little.
Xi Yu smiled slightly and said gently: "It's okay, but you need to pay more attention in the future." ”
Xi Yu walked quickly to the side of the bridge, only to see that the bridge was crowded with people, and the noise was endless.
He struggled through the crowd until he finally saw a man with a disheveled head.
The man stood quietly by the bridge, his eyes empty, as if he had lost all his life.
He also held the knife to his neck.
There was a lot of talk around the people.
"What's wrong with this man? Why can't you think about it? ”
"Alas, looking at his appearance, I guess he encountered some difficulty."
Xi Yu frowned slightly, stared at the man, and asked softly, "Brother Tai, why can't you think about it so much?" There is always a solution to the problems of the world. ”
The man slowly turned his head and looked at Xi Yu, his lips moving, but he didn't make any sound.
At this time, several officials hurried over. They had serious faces and nervous eyes.
"Let's go! Let's get it! One of the officials shouted.
Seeing this, Xi Yu stepped aside.
At this time, Wang Liang also came in person. His expression was solemn and his steps were hurried.
"Get out of the way! Don't crowd around here! Wang Liang scolded loudly.
The crowd got out of the way.
Wang Liang walked up to the man and said gently: "This brother, what can't you think of, do you have to take this step?" If there is any difficulty, say it, and everyone will figure it out together. ”
The man raised his head slightly and looked at Wang Liang, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
The man didn't say a word, and stood there quietly.
Wang Liang didn't notice him at first, until he inadvertently raised his eyes, and then realized that Xi Yu was also there.
A trace of surprise flashed on Wang Liang's face, and then he hurriedly saluted respectfully, with a bit of respect in his eyes, and said, "Prime Minister, you are also here, it's really rude." ”
Xi Yu smiled slightly, his demeanor was gentle, he waved his hand, and said, "You're welcome, let's pay attention to this man's affairs first." ”
As he spoke, Xi Yu's gaze turned to the man, and a look of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
Wang Liang frowned, his face full of doubts and concern.
Again, he couldn't help but ask, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The man remained silent, his lips pursed, his eyes wandering, as if he was hiding from something.
At this time, Xi Yu said with a disdainful face: "Hmph, you are a coward!" ”
When the man heard Xi Yu's words, he turned his head sharply and glared at Xi Yu fiercely.
His eyes were full of anger and unwillingness, the green tendons on his forehead were slightly raised, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if they were about to explode at any moment.
Seeing this, Wang Liang hurriedly said: "He is the prime minister today, you might as well talk to the prime minister when you have time, maybe he can help you." ”
The man's face was horribly gloomy.
His eyes were full of despair and determination, and he said in a cold voice: "No one should come close to me, otherwise I will commit suicide, if you don't want me to die, it's better to retreat!" ”
His body trembled slightly, and his hand clutched some kind of knife tightly, as if he was ready to end his life at any moment.
Xi Yu frowned.
A hint of confusion and annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Isn't he doing this just to attract everyone's attention?" Now that everyone is willing to pay attention to him, why is he reluctant to talk about his difficulties? ”
The man's eyes flickered, his lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say the pain in his heart, but he was hesitating about something, and his face showed a look of struggle and entanglement.
Xi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the man, the corners of his mouth rose, revealing a disdainful smile, and said in a mocking tone: "Hmph, you are a very wretched person, and you don't dare to face your own pain at all!" ”
Xi Yu's eyes revealed a bit of excitement.
He is now deliberately provoking the other party.
Of course, Wang Liang understood what Xi Yu meant.
The man's face became more and more hesitant, and his eyes were full of pain and struggle, as if there was a fierce struggle in his heart, and he wanted to speak but couldn't open his mouth.
Wang Liang looked at the man, his brows furrowed, a look of disdain appeared on his face, and he said with excitement in his tone: "Aren't you just a coward!" Okay, let's all disperse, we're all here, don't interfere with other people's walking. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.
Then, Wang Liang looked at the man again, with a serious expression, and said coldly: "If you deliberately attract everyone's attention here, then it's not right, I have to arrest you in prison now!" ”
Xi Yu was on the side, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile, and a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.
He nodded slightly, thinking to himself, "Hmph, that's exactly what I want." ”
Wang Liang then asked the officials to hurry up.
Several officials were ready to go out.
The man was finally scared.
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you."
Wang Liang then asked the officials not to do anything.
The officials stopped.
Everyone looked at the man, and the scene became very quiet.
The man crouched down, and then began to weep.
Wang Liang said: "Hurry up and say it." ”
The man got up again.
"My name is Xu Mingming, I ......"
Xu Ming looked at the people around him, and suddenly felt faceless.
"Is the county lord right? Can you talk about it alone? ”
Wang Liang smiled, and then looked at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu nodded.
Xu Ming looked at Xi Yu tomorrow.
"By the way, you're the prime minister?"
Xi Yu nodded again.
Next, Xu Tomorrow began to praise Xi Yu and said something like Jiuyang.
Therefore, I hope that Xi Yu can also be audited.
"Absolutely." Said jokingly.
Wang Liang then asked Xu to go to the county office with him tomorrow to explain the matter clearly.
Everyone else is gone.
A lot of people were going to see the excitement, but it turned out that there was no excitement to see.
"Hey, I was going to see the excitement, but I couldn't see it, it's really frustrating."
"But I'll definitely find out later."
In this way, everyone slowly dispersed.
Xu Ming followed him to the county office.
Coming to a room, Xi Yu also sat down.
On the other side, Zhao Yun and the three of them continued to hurry.
It turned out to rain again.
So they hurried to shelter from the rain.
I came to a house.
There is an old man living here, who is Xu Dong's grandfather.
"Uncle, we're here to take shelter from the rain."
The old man told them to hurry in, and found that they were very familiar.
"You think you've seen me?"
Zhao Yun took a closer look and immediately laughed.
"You're not the grandfather of the prodigy Xu Dong?"
Old man Xu laughed again.
"It seems to be a real fate."
Zhao Yun said that they had just returned from their home, and Xu Dong was fine there.
Regarding Xu Dong's matter, Zhao Yun felt the need to conceal it.
"That's good, that's good."
The old man talked a lot with them.
After a while, a man shouted in the courtyard.
The old man immediately walked out, and it was a middle-aged man.
Then the two of them immediately talked about some topics, and gradually, they came to a firewood room.
They were discussing the affairs of Xu Dong's family outside the staff.
"Uncle, is that thing in hand?"
"Probably not yet, or he'd be back."
Although their voices were too quiet, they were still heard by Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was taken aback.
It turned out that Xu Dong was stealing things that night.
The old man and the middle-aged man became excited, so the more they talked, the louder they became.
That's when they realized that something was almost broken.
The middle-aged man hurried away.
The old man wondered, did the three of them hear it?
After he entered the room, he saw Zhao Yun looking at him coldly.
"Several, grab a bite to eat."
There was also some fruit on the table and stuff like that.
Zhao Yun frowned, stared at the old man with sharp eyes, and asked, "Old man, what did you mean by what you said just now?" ”
There was a hint of eagerness and dissatisfaction in his tone.
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with some hesitation: "What, the other party is here to borrow something from me." ”
As he spoke, he unconsciously lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhao Yun's eyes.
When Zhao Yun heard this, his face became even more gloomy, he clenched his hands into fists, and asked further: "You tell me the truth, don't lie!" His voice raised a few points, revealing unmistakable majesty.
Wen Xuan and Dongfang Hong stood aside, they looked at each other with a puzzled look on their faces.
Wen Xuan scratched his head, looked at Zhao Yun in confusion, then looked at the old man, and muttered, "What's wrong?" ”
Dongfang Hong also looked confused, frowned, and shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand the reason.
Zhao Yun's eyes widened angrily, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes.
He stared at the old man tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Old man, if you don't tell me the truth again, Lao Tzu will kill you!" ”
His tone was cold and chilling.
When the old man heard Zhao Yun's words, his body couldn't help but tremble, a frightened look appeared on his face, and he stammered, "I...... I ......"
Wen Xuan watched from the sidelines, a look of surprise on his face.
But it soon became serious again.
He looked at the old man and said, "Since Zhao Yun said so, then you must have done something wrong, you hurry up and say it!" ”
The old man looked at Zhao Yun and then at Wen Xuan, knowing that he couldn't hide this time, so he had to lower his head and whispered, "Okay, I'll say ......."
The old man lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Yun's eyes.
With a trembling voice, he said, "That...... I...... The middle-aged man and I, we went to somebody's house and stole something. The middle-aged man said, but don't let others know. ”
The old man glanced at Zhao Yun secretly, and then said, "I told you all such ugly things, please...... Please don't tell me about it! ”
His eyes were full of pleading.
Zhao Yun listened to the old man's words and showed a sneer.
His eyes stared at the old man coldly, and he said coldly: "Hmph, old man, if you tell a lie casually, do you think I will believe it?" "Him
When the old man heard this, his body shook violently, and the expression on his face became even more nervous and frightened, and he stammered, "I...... I'm not lying, it's all true......"
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hands kept rubbing.
Then, Zhao Yun's eyes were cold and his face was gloomy.
He raised the knife violently, put it on the old man's neck, and said in a cold tone: "Old man, don't play tricks with me anymore, if you don't tell me the truth again, I will kill you right now!" ”
The old man's face was pale with fright, his face was full of horror, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he said in a trembling voice: "Don't ...... Don't, I'll say, you get the knife away first! ”
His eyes were firmly fixed on the knife, for fear that Zhao Yun would accidentally cut his throat.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun snorted coldly and slowly took the knife away from the old man's neck.
Seeing this, the old man breathed a long sigh of relief, but his face was still very pale.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then lowered his head and whispered: "Actually, I let my grandson enter the Yuanwai Mansion for a purpose......
His eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Yun's eyes.
Wen Xuan was taken aback when he heard this.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
She never imagined that this would be the case.
I really didn't expect Zhao Yun's ears to be so easy to use, and he actually heard some secrets. (End of chapter)
