"Let's go!" Xie Chengjin went downstairs and left.
Xia Qingzhou chased after him: "Wait a minute...why am I walking so fast?"
There was a murder on the street, and the person fell from a brothel. Jingzhao Mansion quickly sent people to investigate.
But at this time, Xie Chengjin, Xia Qingzhou and others had already left. Jingzhao Mansion learned about the dispute between Xie Chengjin and that man from the brothel madam, so they had to go to the palace to report the situation.
That was the eldest son of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and they did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Mansion was right in front of him. Lu Zhiyun let out a breath and quickened his pace towards the door of his house.
Ta-ta-ta! Someone is coming on horseback.
Lu Zhiyun looked back and saw that it was the rightful owner he had just seen.
She looked at him in surprise, thinking that this man was really busy. He was in a brothel not long ago, but he appeared somewhere else so soon.
Xie Chengjin dismounted and threw the horse rope to his entourage.
He said to Lu Zhiyun: "I'm looking for Mr. Lu."
"I just came back. I don't know if my father is here." Lu Zhiyun said.
The doorkeeper said: "Miss, the master has returned."
"Then you lead the way for Prince Xie!" Lu Zhiyun ordered.
Xie Chengjin looked at her deeply, which made her confused.
Xia Qingzhou reminded from the side: "Why bother this little brother? Miss Lu also wants to enter the house, why not just ask Miss Lu to lead the way?"
Lu Zhiyun: "..."
She was so tired, and now she just wanted to lie in bed and rest.
Forget it, the visitor is a guest, and besides...
He must be in a bad mood today.
Xie Chengjin has been sizing up Lu Zhiyun.
She just witnessed someone falling from a building, but she acted as if nothing was wrong. She is quite courageous at a young age, but she just doesn't know what she thinks of him.
"Did you see it just now?" Xie Chengjin asked.
"You mean someone fell from the building?" Lu Zhiyun responded, "I saw it."
"Not afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Zhiyun was puzzled. "My father also handled many cases when he was a county magistrate. At that time, we lived in the backyard of the Yamen. We often heard people beating drums to complain about injustice, and some people brought corpses to report the case.
I have seen everything I should have seen since I was a child, and there is nothing to be afraid of."
"Not timid."
"Of course."
"Aren't you afraid that I am a murderer?"
Lu Zhiyun stopped and looked at Xie Chengjin doubtfully: "Whether you are a murderer or not will not affect me. Even if you are, I haven't provoked you, so you shouldn't cause trouble for me, right?"
Lu Zhiqian came out of the study and saw Lu Zhiyun coming with several men, looking at her silently.
"They are here to find my father." Lu Zhiyun explained, "Brother Zhiqian, I leave it to you."
Lu Zhiqian smiled: "Okay."
Xie Chengjin looked at Lu Zhiqian.
It wasn't the first time he saw him, but he didn't pay attention every time. It turned out that the follower beside Lu Yi was so handsome and had an outstanding temperament, and he didn't look like a slave at all.
The dignified lady of the house calls him ‘brother’. This follower’s status is extraordinary!
Mu Siyu heard that Lu Zhiyun went to bed as soon as she got home, so she cooked a few side dishes and cooked a cup of blood swallow.
When the time is almost up, ask the servant to wake Lu Zhiyun up and let her eat first, fill her stomach and then rest.
"Madam, I have guests today and I have to set up a separate table in the lobby." The servant came over to report.
"What guest?"
"The Crown Prince of Wu'an Marquis Mansion."
"I've made a few extra dishes here, send them all over!" Mu Siyu said, "We can't eat much anyway."
Lu Zhiyun was so sleepy that she hurriedly finished her meal and took a rest.
I thought I could sleep until the sun was shining, but I didn't expect to wake up so early.
When she woke up, she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she went, so she simply put on her coat and went out to get some fresh air. After getting some fresh air, she realized that the lanterns in the house had not been extinguished, so she asked the night servant.
"The master and his guests are still drinking. The master has not rested, so this lantern does not dare to be extinguished," the servant replied.
"Still drinking?" Lu Zhiyun frowned, "Why are you still drinking so late? My mother is heavy, goes to bed early, and doesn't control my father, so he behaves mischievously."
In the lobby, Lu Yi looked at Xie Chengjin pouring wine for him and raised his eyebrows.
Xia Qingzhou had been pouring wine for him just now, but now Xia Qingzhou was drunk and confused, leaving the two of them sober. The rumored to be extremely domineering Prince Wu'an would actually pour him wine, which was really beyond his expectation.
.
He looked at Xie Chengjin.
The young man is good-looking and has a calm temperament. He is not as cruel and cruel as the rumors say.
"This case will cause trouble for Dali Temple." Xie Chengjin said, "Chengjin would like to thank Mr. Lu here."
"If it is true as you said that someone sold Feng Linguo's crown prince and asked him to stay and become a slave of our country, this would be a big deal."
"I know." Xie Chengjin said, "This matter is extremely involved. If things break out, the two countries will inevitably go to war. We have to find him before things break out, otherwise..."
The prince is the younger brother of Mrs. Wu Anhou.
Feng Linguo's royal family had few heirs. There were originally a few princes, but some of them died young and some died of political struggles, leaving only this pampered prince.
Xie Chengjin was originally investigating in private, but now that he was alerting the enemy, he would definitely attract the attention of the people behind the scenes. Therefore, he had no choice but to find reinforcements for help.
When it comes to investigating cases, the only one besides Qi Xiao is Lu Yi. Qi Xiao only takes orders from the old emperor, so the only one he can look for is Lu Yi. Furthermore, he is more willing to deal with Lu Yi.
"Dad, it's so late, haven't you rested yet?" Lu Zhiyun walked into the lobby slowly.
"Xiao Yun'er, why haven't you slept yet?" Lu Yi saw his daughter, and all the air-conditioning was gone from his body, leaving only gentleness and kindness.
"I was asleep, but I heard that you were still awake, so I came here to take a look. If the food and drinks are not enough, my daughter can also cook and make some." Lu Zhiyun smiled.
It was so late, how could Lu Yi be willing to torment her daughter?
Almost without hesitation, Lu Yi said to Xie Chengjin: "It's too late, Prince..."
"It's too late. Brother Xia drank so much wine again, all he can do is bother Mr. Lu." Xie Chengjin stood up, cupped his hands and thanked him.
Lu Yi smiled lightly: "I'll let the butler arrange it, Prince Xie, you're welcome."
Lu Zhiyun glanced at Xia Qingzhou next to him and said to the servant who walked in: "Prepare the sobering soup."
"yes."
"Prince Xie, please rest early." Lu Zhiyun greeted Xie Chengjin, grabbed Lu Yi's arm, and looked like she was going to escort him back to the room.
Xie Chengjin looked at Lu Zhiyun's back and thought deeply.
The little girl doesn't seem to like her father being dragged into drinking too much.
When he finally left, the little boy rolled his eyes unabashedly and didn't look like he was afraid of him at all.
"Your Majesty, please come this way." The butler led Xie Chengjin and Xia Qingzhou to the guest room.
