Empress Chu

The postman was inexplicably panicked by the shouting, and hurried over to Deng Yi to salute: "Xiaguan Beicao Town post post postman, Xu Ze, has met Mr. Deng."

Deng Yi nodded to him: "Xu Cheng, have you seen the bodyguard who went to Yunzhong County recently?"

Is this really asking again?Qi Duyou clearly asked if he had asked, the adults from the capital are arrogant, um, that Ajiu is also acting like this, after asking him, he went to ask the lady of the Yang family again.

Maybe it has nothing to do with the size of the shelf, they are all suspicious and don't trust others.

While Yi Cheng was distracted, he hurriedly answered: "No."

Deng Yi asked again: "It's not necessarily going to Yunzhong County, but what about the bodyguards going west? It doesn't have to be bodyguards, there are more people, the most important thing is that there are two girls in the team."

two?Yi Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he had that inexplicable feeling again.

"Two." Qi Duyou added from the side, "Miss Chu has a maid."

A young lady and a maidservant, Yicheng slipped this sentence in his mind, shook his head, and said slowly: "No."

Qi Duyou said: "Yes, Mr. Deng, those bodyguards have avoided the station. He really doesn't know anything here." He warmly invited, "My lord, come in to rest? Although the station is simple, it is very warm." Food and drink."

Deng Yi ignored him, looked at Yi Cheng with his slender eyes, and asked slowly, "Then Xu Cheng has seen any strange people go to Yunzhong County recently?"

Yicheng felt that his thoughts became slower, and he heard his voice stretched longer: "No—yes."

With a crackling sound, a whip suddenly appeared in front of Yi Cheng's eyes, and it was smashed by the cold wind.

Yi Cheng screamed in fear, and he hid back, but luckily the whip didn't hit him in the face, but slipped across the air before his eyes.

"Is there any?"

Wei Weicheng shouted in a slow voice.

The outside of the post station froze for a moment, Qi Duyou pressed his chest, his eyes widened, apparently also frightened by this scene.

This Mr. Deng Yi Deng really has a scary temper, Yi Cheng shouted in his heart, his originally vain thoughts concentrated, and blurted out: "Yes!"

Hey?

Qi Duyou stared at Yicheng, old boy, what are you talking about?Isn't there no?

"That's how it is." Frightened by the whip, the Yicheng didn't lose his mind, his eyes didn't slow down anymore, he was refreshed and his voice was sharp, "Recently, there are three mothers and daughters in the post station who are also going to Yunzhong County, and the lower officials are distracted. Think of them."

Three mothers and daughters, that's different from this Miss Chu, Qi Duyou glared at Yicheng again, what kind of god is this old boy, guilty of guilt, needless to say, he must have stripped the three mothers and daughters again.

"There are too many people going to the direction of Yunzhong County." He scolded, "You can answer whatever your lord asks you, and talk nonsense."

Yicheng repeatedly admitted his mistake: "Yes, it's the fault of the lower officials, it has delayed your lord's time."

Deng Yi nodded, with a slight smile on his face: "Xu Cheng is being polite, it's right to think more."

Seeing the slight smile on Deng Yi's face, Yi Cheng shuddered in his heart, and understood why Qi Duyou meant that this lord had a scary temper, what a scary temper!This is clearly a pervert!

If you say turn your face, you will turn your face, if you say hit, you will hit, and you can still give a smile after the fight.

I don't know what is the background of being able to be Weiwei's Fucheng at a young age, and still be so fierce.

Yicheng responded, hey, he didn't dare to say any more, and Qi Duyou warmly invited Deng Yi to the posthouse again to rest.

Deng Yi declined, saying that he would continue to investigate in the next town.

"It's really hard work." Qi Duyou sighed, and complained in a low voice, "The young master of the Chu family is sitting in the prefecture, and let Mr. Deng run around."

Deng Yi said with a smile: "This is the duty of the official. The son of the Chu family is a scholar, and he is still young."

It sounded amiable, of course, Yicheng didn't dare to think so, quietly and obediently stood aside, watching Deng Yi grab the reins of the horse——

Suddenly he stopped again, looked over the chattering Qi Duyou and looked at Yicheng: "Then the mother and daughter went to Yunzhong County together?"

Yicheng shivered inexplicably, feeling his voice slow down again.

"No," he said, "only the two girls went."

Of the two girls, Qi Duyou stared round and Deng Yi narrowed his eyes.

……

……

The hall of the inn was full again, but it was different from the atmosphere of Qi Duyou and other officials before, quiet and low.

The sound of footsteps outside the door broke the suffocating silence, and the postman walked in timidly with a person.

"Found the coachman."

The coachman hired by the woman was from a nearby village, and they often went to and from the post station. The postmen all recognized them, so it was easy to find them.

"Let me ask you." Deng Yi looked at the driver and said directly, "Ms. Yang who hired the car, do you still remember the way to her house?"

The coachman looked a little hesitant, wanting to nod and shake his head.

Be careful of being whipped, Yi Cheng cursed in his heart, urging him: "Say it quickly! Don't you even know if you remember?"

The coachman panicked and said, "No, it's not that I don't remember, it's that the lady didn't let the younger one be sent home, but only sent to the county town, and she left."

county seat?

The lady of the Yang family said that she is from Yangtun, and there is still a long way to go from the county to Yangtun.

Yicheng was startled.

Deng Yi looked at the coachman: "How did she get away?"

The coachman was a little stunned when asked: "That's right, let's go."

He couldn't help imitating a walking gesture.

The lady was wearing tattered clothes, walking wobbly and twisting, he couldn't help but take a second look.

Deng Yi's gaze turned to Yicheng, and Yicheng saw a half-smile on his lips, and that smile whipped over him like a whip.

"Xu Cheng, a person who is about to die walks and walks, and the walk looks pretty good."

……

……

Although the county seat is not big, it is very bustling and lively.

It was freezing cold, and the restaurants and teahouses were crowded with people, even the fireworks building had many customers during the day.

In the beautifully decorated, sweet and greasy hall, the guests embraced the women and drank wine around the stove, it was a paradise of bliss.

There was a woman holding a qin and swaying across to go to the box, when a regular visitor in the hall saw her and greeted her, "Liniang, Liniang."

Liniang turned her head and winked at him and called out to him with a smile.

"Liniang." The guest held her by the corner of her skirt, "I haven't seen you for a few days, my lover, who did you go with?"

It seems that this is a very funny thing, Liniang couldn't help giggling: "I didn't accompany the guests, I am going to be someone's mother."

The guest was puzzled: "Is it actually a young guest? It's not easy to wait for young chicks."

Liniang pulled the corner of the skirt back from his hand, avoided talking about it, and said coquettishly, "I'll tell you in detail next time."

She was holding on to the corner of her skirt and was about to leave when there was a loud noise at the door, and many people broke in, accompanied by the panicked sounds of Mr. Turtle's fellows.

"Master?"

"Bad man?"

"What's going on here?"

The guests and women in the hall were also startled. They turned their heads to look, but before they could see who was coming, they heard a thud, and it turned out that the qin in Liniang's hand fell to the ground.

Scared like this?

Liniang's face wasn't frightened, but weird. Looking at the fat man who was approaching step by step, she forced a smile: "Here, Lord——"

Yi Cheng gritted his teeth word by word: "Miss Yang, I am so happy to see you recover from your serious illness!"

Chapter 7 passed

Many people kneeled in the county government hall, but the county lord and the guards stood outside, and the guards looked inside curiously.

"Master." He asked, "What kind of big case is this trial? All the adults in the capital are here."

The county master glared at him: "Don't meddle in your own business, don't inquire about matters that have nothing to do with us, do you want to go in and be interrogated?"

The officer shrank his head and dared not speak.

The magistrate watched his heart carefully, and heard a slap in the lobby. It was his gavel being thrown on the ground.

Deng Yi withdrew his hand, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at the four people kneeling on the ground, except for the coachman, the newly found Lady Yang—the prostitute Liniang, a doctor, and Yi Cheng.

There are money and jewelry in front of them, more or less.

"Let's talk about it." Deng Yi said, his eyes swept over the four people and landed on Liniang, "If you guessed right, you should be the first."

Liniang quickly raised her head: "No, my lord, I'm not the first one, that young lady was the first to find a good doctor." She pointed at the man beside her.

The man was a doctor, and said in a panic, "My lord, I, I, I don't know anything."

Deng Yi said lightly: "It's okay, if you tell me, I will know."

The doctor hurriedly responded, took a deep breath to sort out his thoughts: "I am a traveling doctor, I was walking on the road that day, and there were two girls sitting on the side of the road to rest—"

Deng Yi interrupted him: "How old are those two girls and what do they look like, please be more careful?"

The doctor thought for a while and said: "The younger one is twelve or thirteen years old, the older one is no more than fifteen years old, and the clothes are very ordinary. The older one is standing, the younger one is sitting, and the younger one is pretty. Small face, big eyes."

Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, her voice was pleasant, and she was so delicate and weak that one couldn't help feeling pitiful.

That's why he was obsessed with ghosts at the time.

Deng Yi raised his hand to signal: "Continue talking."

"The lady called me, said she wanted to see a doctor, and gave me a bag of money—I thought I had a business, but she refused to let me see her doctor, and said that I would come to the post station in a few days to give a woman When people see a doctor, there is only one request, no matter how they see it, they must say that the woman has no cure, and her life is not long."

When he said this, he sneaked a glance at the lord sitting in the hall, and saw that lord's expression was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"I, I won't lie to people indiscriminately, just, when I think about it, I will see if I can be cured, and I will do my best to cure the disease."

Deng Yi didn't say anything, Qi Duyou who was standing beside him sneered, this money-grubber is still making excuses for himself.

The doctor lowered his head, not daring to look at them.

"In the past few days, I often wandered around the post station. It's not surprising that I'm a doctor. Sure enough, one day a postman ran out to find a doctor. He bumped into me and took me in. I saw this—— lady."

He turned to look at Li Niang at the side.

After the initial panic, Liniang is not panicking anymore, she didn't do anything outrageous, she just took money to pretend to be someone else's mother, when the doctor looked over, she smiled coquettishly at the doctor, and then looked up at the lord——

"My lord~" she said.

The lord glanced at her, Li Niang, who was used to seeing all kinds of guests in Fengyue, froze, knelt and straightened her body.

"I was taking a nap in the building that day, and those two girls came in through the window. I was shocked. I lived on the third floor, and I thought they were thugs who robbed houses."

After all, it was a person from Fengyue, who was more sensitive than the doctor, so he took the initiative to speak in detail without waiting for Deng Yi to ask.

"In the end, it turned out that they were two thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls. Although they looked ordinary at first glance, the younger girl looked very good-looking."

Liniang's eyes are bright, and she knows how to look at beauties as she serves people with beauty.

"When she is a few years older, seventeen, eighty-nine, she will definitely be a peerless beauty. However, her eyes are a bit too fierce. This is not good, and it will not please men—"

Deng Yi interrupted her: "Get to the point."

Liniang babbled, and then said: "This little girl threw me three bags of money, and said she would entrust me with it for three days, and let me pretend to be her mother."

She pointed to the purse in front of her. Compared with the doctor, she had a lot more, and there were gold, silver, treasure hairpins and jade bracelets scattered around.

"My lord, the slave family is here to sell, whether it's a man or a woman, whether it's pretending to be a wife or an old lady, the slave family has no choice."

"The servant just lies down and pretends to be sick, and then speaks according to what she taught—"

Having said that, she hurriedly leaned over to look at Yi Cheng who was kneeling on the far side.

"Master Xu, I really didn't mean those words, they were all told by my daughter, Ah Fu."

Yi Cheng remained expressionless and did not respond to her. He turned his head away. Today, he has lost all face for the rest of his life.

The postman didn't speak, the coachman couldn't wait any longer, and kowtowed in panic: "My lord, my lord, I don't know, I haven't met anyone, but this lady said to use the car, but also said no, the money doesn't need to be refunded to her, I Just, just-"

If you don't take advantage, you don't take advantage of it.

He pushed forward the handful of money in front of him, and compared with others, his was the least.
