Chapter 381
Xiao Zhu had been sitting at the same place drinking tea, Chen Tian asked, "Brother Xiao and Brother Li, aren't you going for a walk?"

Xiao Zhu said: "Forget it, I used to think Yicui Pavilion was very interesting, but now I look at it like that."

Li Yue smiled silently.

After a while, there was a turmoil in the brothel, looking in the direction of Ruoyu's room.Chen Tianfei ran over like that.Li Yue only felt a gust of wind blowing around him, and his perfect smile paused for a moment.

Li Yue looked at Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu said: "Let's go and have a look."

The two of them walked towards the place where the trouble occurred, and the people who were hanging out in the brothel also went in this direction.Xiao Zhu heard someone gloating: "I heard that something happened to the outsider who photographed Ruo Yu."

"Brother, where did you get the news? Is it accurate?"

The man looked back, cupped his fists and saluted, "Master Xiao."

Xiao Zhu asked again, and the man said: "I also heard it from someone. It seems that someone couldn't stand his arrogance in Pingcheng, so he hit him and knocked him unconscious."

In a blink of an eye, several people had come to the front, and the wounded and injured people had disappeared.The person who came first gave them a scientific explanation: "It was the county magistrate's son who smashed the person's head and blood came out. He fell down at that time, and I don't know what happened."

Another human said: "I think the county magistrate is in trouble this time."

Everyone saw that the person who spoke was a fat middle-aged man, and the first thing he saw was his stomach. This man was Master Lin from the city.

Someone asked: "Master Lin, why is the county magistrate in trouble? It's a big deal, and it's a small thing. The county magistrate can't take his son into custody, right?"

Master Lin said: "What do you know, not only the county magistrate, but everyone here is in trouble. Just watch, someone will seal this place later, and no one is allowed to go out."

When everyone heard this, they panicked in their hearts, they would rather believe it, and they rushed to the door quickly.Master Lin, who asked the question, was still there, and he didn't want to run away at all.

"Mr. Lin, why don't you run?"

Master Lin said: "If you can't run away, it's better to cooperate well than to be suspected if you run away. Maybe you'll be fine."

Everyone didn't listen and kept running.It was really run away by a few people.Soon a circle of people surrounded the door, and all the people in the brothel were brought to the county government office.

A group of people were in the lobby of the county government office, making the originally not-so-small place look very small.When the county magistrate saw that his son-in-law was among them, his face turned dark with anger.

The county magistrate personally interrogated him, and all the brothel owners questioned him one by one.Xiao Zhu was soon questioned, and the county magistrate asked: "Xiao Zhu, why did you go to Yicui Pavilion today?"

Xiao Zhu said: "Are you going to see Ruoyu come out of the pavilion?"

"Where did you stay before and after Ruoyu left the pavilion? Who can prove it?"

Xiao Zhu said: "I stayed in my seat all the time, Li Yue can prove that there is another one named Chen Tian, ​​the three of us stayed together all the time, until something happened, he flew over to check the situation."

The magistrate's heart moved, and he remembered this Chen Tian.

Then they asked again, and Xiao Zhu answered them one by one.

Some people have a mentality of avoiding disaster, and try to lie to clear their suspicions, but they are discovered by the county magistrate.For these people, the county magistrate ordered them to be dragged out and beaten until they were willing to tell the truth.

There were still a few who escaped, and the county magistrate also arrested them based on the identification of others, and the first thing they did after they were arrested was to torture them.You didn't do anything bad, why did you run away?
Xiao Zhu was among those who were beaten, not because he didn't tell the truth, but because his father-in-law avenged himself.Anyway, with so many people being beaten, it's okay to add one more him.

When he was being beaten, Changxian Cheng stood aside and watched expressionlessly. From time to time he told the government officials: "Hit him hard and show no mercy."

However, Changxian Cheng was also afraid of beating up people and making his daughter suffer.If it is really beaten to death, it's fine, and you can let your daughter go home. If you beat her half to death, it will be a toss.After thinking about it, Changxian Cheng decided to hit him 10 times first, and then continue to teach him a lesson if he is disobedient.

After hitting a few times, the county magistrate said there was a new clue and asked Xiao Zhu to be brought there.Changxian Cheng gave him a hard look, then flung his sleeves and left.

When Xiao Zhu was brought to the court, he saw Chen Tian standing aside, and Li Yue was already in the court.

Chen Tiandao: "I was with these two people at the time."

The county magistrate said: "Since Guard Chen is with them, their suspicions can be cleared. Xiao Zhu, Li Yue."

The two looked at the county magistrate, who said: "You two can go home first, but you must not leave Pingcheng, and wait for the county's summons at any time."

Xiao Zhu and Li Yue both agreed.

Before leaving, Xiao Zhu said: "My lord, Xiaomin remembered something strange. At that time, I was sitting in my seat, and several people kept urging me to trouble the customer who bought Ruoyu. The county magistrate leaned forward, his eyes were excited, and he asked about the situation again and again. Don't worry, his son is still in jail waiting for help!
Speaking of those people, Chen Tian also thought of those strange people and realized that what happened to the county king might be a long-planned conspiracy. He also recalled it carefully and helped to supplement it.

When Li Yue was arrested, he had simulated the scene of being interrogated over and over again, and answered the county magistrate's inquiries well.

The county magistrate asked them to identify a few people. Unexpectedly, those people had run away without knowing when, and they could not be found at all. They might have arranged an escape route long ago.

Once again, things have reached an impasse.

The county magistrate waved his hand, telling Xiao Zhu and the others to go home first.

Li Yue said to Chen Tian: "Thanks to Brother Chen's testimony this time, otherwise Brother Xiao and I don't know how long we will be imprisoned." '

Chen Tian's face was serious, obviously he was not in the mood to chat with them, and he was about to leave after hastily perfunctory.

Xiao Zhu said: "Brother Chen, I just heard from the county magistrate that you are the victim's bodyguard. I wonder if I can visit him. I'm always careful, so I might be able to find some clues."

Chen Tian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, but he reminded again: "I am just a guard, I can only take you there, and the master decides whether or not I will see you in the end."

"That's natural."

Xiao Zhu asked Li Yue for his opinion. Li Yue experienced a lot of things today, and felt that he was completely hollowed out. He refused: "I'm a little tired, I want to go back first."

Xiao Zhu also understood that the frequency of these things happening today must have frightened him, so he followed Chen Tian to a mansion.

Chen Tian brought him in front of a lady, and told him: "Madam, he is Xiao Zhu, one of the people in the brothel at that time, he wants to visit the young master."

Xiao Zhu found out that this lady was the noble lady whom he had sold the bead string to.

The one who was injured was King Xunyang, so this should be the eldest princess.But logically, Xiao Zhu shouldn't know their identities, so he greeted the elders like an ordinary junior, and said hello, "Hi Ma'am, I've always been careful, and I want to come over and help find clues."

He told the story about how he was incited by a few people to harm the young master. The eldest princess still had an impression of him. Thinking about it, the child was indeed very attentive and she might actually discover something.

The eldest princess said: "You have a heart. Chen Tian, ​​take Young Master Xiao there, be careful."

Chen Tian agreed.

The king of Xunyang County was still lying on the bed, the doctors came and went, and the maids were busy.The eldest servant girl saw Chen Tian and came over to ask.

Chen Tian pointed to Xiao Zhu and said, "Madam asked me to bring him to visit the young master."

The eldest servant girl's eyes were a little red and she looked haggard. She nodded to the two of them, "Come with me."

King Xunyang lay quietly on the bed, the injury on his head had been treated, but his face was still pale.

Chen Tian asked, "Have you ever woken up, Master?"

The servant girl glanced at Xiao Zhu, shook her head and said, "No. The doctor said, the young master is more dangerous this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Zhu approaching the young master, and hurriedly shouted: "What are you doing?"

Chen Tian also clenched the knife at his waist. If he brought a murderer back, even if he and the son-in-law were relatives, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Xiao Zhu said: "I learned some medical skills before, and I want to show him."

Seeing that he was just taking his pulse and not doing anything else, the servant girl was relieved, but she still stared at him closely.He just said: "We called all the famous doctors in Pingcheng to have a look, and they all said there was nothing they could do."

The implication is that so many doctors are not good, let alone one who has learned a little medical skills.
