Chapter 52 Breaking into Nie’s Mansion at Night

After hearing what she said, Ah Hou felt enlightened and went to call someone.

She turned to Liu Mei and said seriously:

"You wait here, don't go out, we will bring Xiaozhi back."

Having said this, she quickly walked to the other courtyard and woke Caifeng and Chunhong who were sleeping soundly. She was really worried about Liu Mei being alone at home. If she ran out, it would be even more chaotic.

After making arrangements for Liu Mei, she was about to go out when Ayu and Ahou stepped forward to stop her.

"Princess, you don't know kung fu. It's not safe to go out so late. Just wait at home. We will try our best to bring Xiaozhi back."

Luo Lan frowned and shook his head, "No, I can't sit still at home. Without further ado, you should do as I say now. I'll wait for you at the gate of Changshou Hall."

Seeing her serious face and unquestionable tone in her voice, the men did not dare to neglect her. They each took a copper basin and went out one after another.

The reason why Luo Lan concluded that people would go out to check when they heard the bandits coming was entirely due to the fact that there was a place called Weihu Mountain a hundred feet away from the capital. It was said that the bandits there killed many people and robbed money and sex.

They sent troops many times to exterminate them, but in the end they all lost their troops and returned without success. Therefore, in the past two years, the imperial court has not been going to Weihu Mountain to suppress the bandits, and the bandits in Weihu Mountain have also disappeared a lot.

Although they have not come to the capital to cause trouble in the past two years, Luo Lan is sure that the people in the city will not sleep peacefully at home when they hear the news about them.

This night, the capital was destined to be restless.

If she didn't make the matter a big deal, Luo Lan really couldn't guarantee that she would be able to rescue the person.

Bandits appeared at the foot of the imperial city. This incident should not be taken lightly. After hearing the news, the people ran out to watch the fun.

In less than half an hour, the door of the longevity hall was crowded with people. Luo Lan squeezed in the crowd and waited quietly for the people from the longevity hall to come out and open the door.

Perhaps because there was too much noise outside, the door of Changshou Hall suddenly opened with a creak, and a young waiter poked his head out. He rubbed his eyes, glanced at the people outside, and suddenly became nervous.

He hesitated, "What...are you doing?"

Ayu stood in the crowd and shouted:

"I heard that bandits have hidden in the backyard of your longevity hall. We want to go in and have a look."

Hearing this, the young man and some monks looked at everyone confused, "What nonsense are you talking about? Our longevity hall is very quiet. Where did the bandits come from?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard fighting and shouting coming from the mansion. Seeing this, Ayu shouted to the crowd:

"Let's copy the guys and fight the bandits."

After saying that, everyone swarmed in and squeezed the little guy who didn't know what he was talking about directly to the door.

He exclaimed, "Are you robbers? Why did you break into the door in the middle of the night? Someone is coming, someone is coming!"

There was too much noise in the house, and Nie Changan, who was sleeping with his concubine in his arms, was also awakened. He hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out of the house. At this time, the girls and servants in the house also ran out of the house and followed him to the backyard to investigate.

Condition.

At this time, for some unknown reason, a fire suddenly broke out in the backyard of Changshou Hall, and the fire was very strong. The people who rushed in looked around for clues about the bandits without knowing why. Luo Lan winked at A Yu, and A Yu quickly stepped forward.

When they arrived at the door of the woodshed, the male servants of Prince Yu's Mansion and Queen A also ran over, and several of them were ready to knock on the door of the woodshed.

Suddenly, a voice came sharply, "Stop..."

Luo Lan frowned. If he didn't take advantage of the chaos and open the door, he would run out of time.

So, she ran over quickly and signaled Ayu and others to open the door quickly.

After Ayu, Ahou and others got her order, they worked hard together and knocked open the door when Nie Changan and others arrived.

Looking through the faint moonlight, Luo Lan saw two people huddled on the floor of the woodshed. They were A Gang and Xiao Zhi. She hurriedly wanted to rush in, but was stopped by the people who came over. This group of people was enough.

There were dozens of them, and they looked at her eagerly. The fat man Nie Changan at the head even shouted harshly:

"You can't come in..."

Luo Lan led the people from Prince Yu's Mansion to confront the people brought by Nie Changan, without any intention of backing down. She looked at Nie Changan and said coldly:

"Get out of your way, I'm going to take people away today..."

"This is Changshou Hall, my Nie's residence. What's going on with you guys rushing in with so many people?"

After hearing this, the people present realized that there were no bandits. It was the few people in front of them who had deliberately led them here.

At this moment, Ah Hong and A Caicai arrived belatedly with the people from the government office. Luo Lan knew in her heart that it made no difference whether they came or not. The people from the government office were just a cover.

The leader this time was Zhang Yuan, the head catcher of Shuntian Prefecture. This man looked young, but he had a bit of heroic spirit in his brows.

He came to the people and asked,

"What's going on? Where is the assassin?"

Luo Lan pointed at the two people huddled in the woodshed and said angrily:

"Sir Zhang, these two people are from my palace, Prince Yu, but they were brought here. What is the difference between their behavior and that of bandits and assassins? You must investigate this matter clearly and make decisions for the people."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan looked her up and down, and then asked:

"Are you from Prince Yu's Mansion?"

"Yes." Luo Lan nodded clearly, "I am Princess Yu of Prince Yu's Mansion. The two people locked up here are the servants of my Prince Yu's Mansion and the son of the accountant of my Prince Yu's Mansion. Chai Chai, who is now imprisoned in Changshou Hall for no reason.

In the room, please ask Mr. Zhang to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Hearing what she said, Zhang Yuan hurriedly clasped his fists and bowed in salute, "Princess Yu is polite. If the facts are true as you said, I will deal with it impartially."

Regarding Mr. Zhang's remarks, Luo Lan felt a little more favorable towards him. I hope he is as fair as his appearance!

At this time, Nie Changan came to Zhang Yuan with his hands behind his back, raised his head and said sternly: "Master Zhang, these two people came to my Nie Mansion to steal things and were found, so I ordered them to be imprisoned in the woodshed. What's wrong with this?"

OK?"

Hearing his nonsense, Luo Lan snorted coldly, then asked,

"You are talking nonsense. What did they steal from your Nie Mansion? That is a child who is only seven years old. What can he steal from you? Your Nie Mansion is as airtight as a cage. How did they get in? Even if they climbed the wall, you

The high walls of the Nie Mansion are comparable to the palace compound. How could they get in except through the main entrance? Even if they really entered your Nie Mansion and stole your things, why didn't you send them to the official? Instead, use force against them.

Lynching? Are you turning a blind eye to Shuntian Mansion?"

Her series of questions made Nie Changan stunned for a moment. Zhang Yuan looked at Luo Lan with half-squinted eyes, and then asked Nie Changan:
Chapter completed!
