Cheng Yu and Feng Ning arrived at the Hou's mansion in a hurry, and met Ziqiu who was returning to the mansion.
Ziqiu Weihe hurriedly cupped his hands to greet him, "Commander Feng, you guys are back! Why do you look like this?"
Cheng Yu hurriedly got off Feng Ningping's back, and explained: "I just remembered, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to call the sedan chair. Ningping saw that my legs and feet were inconvenient, so he carried me all the way here!"
Ziqiu was about to thank Feng Ningping when someone caught him by the wrist.
"Ziqiu, do you still remember the old servant who guards the gate of the Xia Mansion? Where is he now?"
Seeing Cheng Yu's serious expression, Ziqiu didn't dare to hesitate. "Just now the people from the Ministry of Punishment let him go back after questioning him. He is probably still in the mansion now!" Cheng Yu didn't hesitate, and limped towards the old servant's residence. Some maidservants stopped their work from time to time along the way. , secretly raised his eyes to scan the busy people along the way.
Several old servants who were doing laundry saw Xia Ziqiu, and hurriedly got up to wipe their hands, and saluted Ziqiu.
"The old slave greets the young master! Why did the young master come to the backyard when he is free today? Could it be that the old slaves did something wrong?" Feng Ningping's face changed slightly, and Cheng Yu was afraid that he would follow up with the last time. When sending him into the mansion, there was a battle.Hastily grabbed the corner of his clothes and whispered, "It's important."
Xia Ziqiu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he quickly glanced at Xia Yu with the corner of his eye, and then looked away without explaining.
"Is the old servant who looks at the courtyard, Ah Bo, still there?"
"The old servant saw him talking with his nephew in the yard just now, it should be in the yard!"
"What?" Xia Ziqiu's face changed slightly.Cheng Yu sensed something was wrong, stepped forward and asked, "What's going on?"
Ziqiu said: "Brother, you don't know. Ah Pu has been here for a few years, and during that time no relatives have come to see him. I have never heard that he has a nephew..."
"Which room does Abu live in?"
An old servant gradually felt that something was wrong, and pointed in one direction.When Cheng Yu rushed to the place where Abu lived, there was no one there.The old servant who followed was also slightly taken aback.
"The old slave clearly saw that Ah Pu was still here just now, why did he suddenly disappear?"
Feng Ningping comforted: "Maybe it's not a bad thing for him to disappear, maybe he really has a nephew!"
Cheng Yu smiled wryly, and said that he wanted to find out the ins and outs of the matter for Xiao Zhuzi, but he didn't expect to be followed by someone as soon as he entered the capital.If something unexpected happened to Ah Pu, Cheng Yu would be the first to suspect at this moment that Cheng Yu made Ah Pu falsely testify and wanted to kill him to silence him.
In this way, Chen Qing's case will definitely go to the next stage, and the old grievances of the Wen family will be involved.But Cheng Yu had the motive to murder and blame the Wen family.
Ziqiu hurriedly said: "Brother, don't worry, I'll let the servants look for it!" Cheng Yu hurriedly stopped him.
"It's inappropriate to make too much noise now!" As long as you haven't seen Ah Pu's body, everything will turn for the better.It would be bad if they act rashly so that the person has already detected their intentions.
Seeing that Cheng Yu and the others looked slightly relaxed, Ziqiu also secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "Brother, father told me just now, if you come back, please go to the study!"
Cheng Yu nodded, told Feng Ningping to wait for him in his room, then turned and walked towards the study.
Lord Xia Hou's right eyelid has been twitching recently. As the saying goes, the left eye jumps for money, and the right eye jumps for disaster.After seeing Cheng Yu limping into the study, Lord Xia Hou's right eye jumped more and more.
Cheng Yu bowed and saluted: "Father, are you looking for me?"
"Sit down!" Cheng Yu sat on the chair pointed by Master Xia.When he looked up, he saw his father Youyou's gaze.
"Father..." Lord Xia Hou sighed. "Yu'er! Did you offend the Lu family somewhere?" Otherwise, why did the family change their minds when they said something well?
Cheng Yu stood up from the chair in shock and waved his hands repeatedly.
"No...no..." Master Xia Hou raised his hand to comfort Cheng Yu, signaling Cheng Yu to be calm.
"Then in my opinion, there must be some misunderstanding. I will go to the Shangshu Mansion some other day and ask clearly..."
"Father!" Cheng Yu interrupted the old waiter's chatter, "If Ning'er is unwilling, the verbal agreement with my mother that day will be void. Don't force her!"
Xia Ye looked at him puzzled.Naturally, Cheng Yu couldn't tell him that even if he married Miss Lu's family, it would not last long in the future, and it would waste her years in vain.After he married this Miss Lu family, Miss Lu returned to her mother's house as soon as she returned.Cheng Yu cheekily apologized all the way.It happened that Lu Qiong was not there that day.Cheng Yu went straight into Miss Lu's room.
It was only after that day that Cheng Yu realized that he had become a cheap husband.When she came out of Lu's mansion in a daze, she bumped into the arms of Lu Qiong, who was neatly dressed, and was supported by him.That is to say, from that day on, Lu Qiong looked at him with a trace of pity.
"Ayu, you have seen everything today. Your fate with Ning'er should stop here!"
Cheng Yu backed away again and again, and saluted Lu Qiong, "Thank you, brother, for all the hard work you've put in, and I'll write Li Shu next time when I get back, and I'll trouble the little servant in the mansion to go!"
"Ah Yu!" Just as Cheng Yu was about to leave the Lu residence, Lu Qiong called out to stop him. "Don't blame Ah Ning, Ah Ning is not a woman who doesn't obey women's morals. At the beginning, it was the father who wanted to keep the promise with Cheng Huaisu and marry Ning'er to you, but you..." Cheng Yu understood the meaning of Lu Qiong's unfinished words , just blame him for being too disappointing.
"Ning'er and the scholar in that room are not doing anything careless. Ning'er has always loved literature and history, and this person is the person she met before she married you!" Cheng Yu's face suddenly turned pale. It turned out that he was the The one who stole love.
Xia Ye looked at Cheng Yu, and carefully asked, "You don't like that child from the Lu family?"
Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I like someone, so I will naturally be kind to that person. If that person gets married in the future, with someone I like, as long as I can see him happy, it's no big deal!"
After a long time, Xia Ye seemed to sigh, Cheng Yu's words actually reminded him of Cheng Huaisu.
Or if Emperor Xuan had this kind of heart, Cheng Huaisu should have lived a comfortable life before the Cheng family was destroyed.But if there was no persecution from Emperor Xuan, how could Cheng Huaisu have taken a fancy to him, a declining Marquis? For a while, Lord Xia Hou didn't know whether it was luck or misfortune.
"If Yu'er thinks this way, I won't force you as a father. I will explain this matter to Lao Lu some other day, so that he won't hide from me when he sees me."
Cheng Yu came out of the study and returned to the bedroom.Feng Ningping was looking around at the small courtyard where Cheng Yu lived.
"came back?"
Cheng Yu nodded, and Zhi'er beside him had already served hot tea.Feng Ningping couldn't help but take a closer look at Zhi'er who was standing next to Cheng Yu.Think of all kinds of rumors.
"Brother, is this girl in your house? She is such a beautiful woman!" Zhi'er's face flushed with shame, and Cheng Yu almost spilled the tea in his hand.Coughing a few times, "Ning Ping, stop joking! It will damage the reputation of the girl's family. Zhi'er is just taking care of my daily life, don't talk nonsense."
Feng Ningping took the opportunity and said, "Okay, Brother Xia! Let's talk about some serious business. What's going on between you and King Ping?"
Cheng Yu waved his hand, signaling Zhi'er to back down, and wait for Zhi'er to leave.Cheng Yucai said slowly: "Speaking of this matter, Ning Ping, can you do me a favor?"
The next day, there was a big news in the capital. Feng Ningping, the second son of the Feng family, was stung into a big meat bun by a bee because of his enthusiasm for helping the people remove the beehives.This wind commander who once said that every scar is more masculine actually cherishes his appearance very much, and wraps a large cloth scarf around his head all day long.It is said that the doctor said, you can't see the wind and see the water, otherwise there will be scars.
But it was strange to cover the head with only one pair of eyes exposed. The commander of the wind had just gone to Yingmao in the morning, and was driven home to rest by the boss.
Seeing the tightly wrapped Feng Ningping, the corners of Zhao Jinshu's mouth twitched, and he asked Cheng Yu, who was standing beside him in embarrassment, "What's wrong with him?"
Although Feng Ningping's entire face was swollen, his voice was still clear.Returning while undressing, "His Royal Highness, quickly change into my clothes and go out with Brother Xia!"
Zhao Jinshu pinched his nose tightly, "What's the matter with your clothes? Why does it smell so bad? Why should I wear your clothes?"
Cheng Yu quickly explained, "Your Highness is confined in the mansion, so it is inevitable that you don't know something! On the night of the fourth day, Chen Qing was killed!" Seeing Cheng Yu's eyebrows raised, Zhao Jinshu understood, and it was difficult to say goodbye in front of Feng Ningping. A matter of the soul.Clearly nodded.
Cheng Yu picked up the clothes that Feng Ningping had taken off, and put them on for Zhao Jinshu. "Your Highness, it's just a smell of sweat. It's much lighter than the smell in Anqing County. Besides, it's covered by the smell, so it doesn't make people easily suspicious!"
Zhao Jinshu was dubious, until when he walked past the guards in Feng Ningping's clothes, he saw that the guards subconsciously took a few steps back, and instead of stepping forward to check, he secretly gave Cheng Yu a thumbs up.Cheng Yu was ashamed.To put it bluntly, let Feng Ningping change into Zhao Jinshu's blue python robe.
After leaving Prince Ping's Mansion, Zhao Jinshu took a walk around the street on purpose, and was very satisfied to see pedestrians avoiding him one after another, and believed Cheng Yu's words quite a bit.
Calling soul banners were planted beside the gate of the Chen Mansion, and white lanterns hung on both sides of the gate.
The diagonally opposite door of Chen's mansion is an inn, and because of the accident of the son of Chen's mansion, the business has been quite cold these few days.Cheng Yu opened the window and looked towards the Chen Mansion from the second floor of the inn.In the past few days, everyone in Chen's house is wearing hemp and filial piety.The one or two domestic servants who came out of the mansion every now and then were all depressed.
The Ministry of Punishment moved very quickly. According to Boss Shang's description of the suspect's portraits, the alleys, large and small, had been plastered over the past two or three days.
After closing the window, Cheng Yu sat down on the stool next to Zhao Jinshu.Along the way, Cheng Yu told Zhao Jinshu everything that happened these days.
Zhao Jinshu had already taken off Feng Ningping's clothes, only wearing an undershirt, and was playing with the iron bell in his hand. Seeing Cheng Yu approaching, he said with a smile, "So, the old servant in brother's mansion has not been found yet." ?”
Cheng Yu nodded, as long as something happened to Ah Pu, or he retracted the confession on the spot.At that time, if someone with a heart pulls on him, the whole case will definitely be diverted to the grievances between the Cheng and Wen families.
"Brother wants to investigate this case himself?"
Ziqiu Weihe hurriedly cupped his hands to greet him, "Commander Feng, you guys are back! Why do you look like this?"
Cheng Yu hurriedly got off Feng Ningping's back, and explained: "I just remembered, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to call the sedan chair. Ningping saw that my legs and feet were inconvenient, so he carried me all the way here!"
Ziqiu was about to thank Feng Ningping when someone caught him by the wrist.
