C10 Unexpected Result
The young man who came down the stairs was the one whom Dongfang Zexuan recognized, Yang Zhongkun, who fought at the Hundred Flowers Banquet at the Qin Huai River, that day. Naturally, Yang Zhongkun also saw him and could not help but glare at him. On the other hand, Dongfang Zhongyu was not angry nor happy as he replied with a laugh.
Auntie Xue happened to glance at Yang Zhongkun, left Lei Mingsheng and the other person and asked, "Young Master Yang, you left so soon?" Yang Zhongkun replied, "I still have some official matters to attend to, so I have to rush back and take a look." Oh... Young Master Yang take care, "Auntie Xue was very attentive," Come again, Young Master Yang. "
Turning his head to the east, he chuckled to the two and said: "Grandpa Lei and Young Master Dongfang are very lucky! If you want to meet Ji Yaohua's guests, then you will have to leave. What a coincidence! "
Dongfang Zhongyu's heart skipped a beat, he pretended to ask casually: "Young Master Yang looks like a lucky person, I wonder what kind of official he is?" Speaking of which, this Young Master Yang has quite the background, "Auntie Xue smiled and said," Don't look at his early twenties, he's Chief Flag Officer of the Imperial Secret Service.
"Is that so?" Lei Mingsheng also felt that there was something out of the ordinary with the continuous appearance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He subconsciously looked toward the east. This is truly not simple! " "Auntie Xue, can we meet Lady Ji Yaohua now?"
"Yes, yes." Auntie Xue walked a few steps inside and raised her voice to shout, "Ji Yaohua has two distinguished guests, please come up to the second floor!" Lei Mingsheng was familiar with the rules of the courtyard, so he gestured for Dongfang Zhongyue to follow him up to the second floor.
The interior of the Phoenix Restaurant was very spacious. In the center was a patio structure with three wooden ladders that connected the east, south, west and north. Dongfang Zhongyu and Lei Mingsheng didn't know which direction to go after climbing onto the second floor. At that moment, a woman in pink came from the third floor.
Dongfang Zhongyue clasped his fists and asked: "May I ask Miss, what is Miss Ji Yaohua...?" Suddenly, Han Yancui couldn't help but be stunned when she saw who it was. Han Yancui immediately raised her arm to cover the bruise on her forehead, looking at it, she exclaimed, "Young master, we seem to … Have you seen it before? "
Dongfang Zhongyu was worried he wouldn't have the chance to get to know her and quickly said: "A few days ago at the Hundred Blossom Meet, I was fated to meet the lady at Wangshui Xuan. "I'm in the East, it's a pleasure to meet Lady Han." Seeing the bruise on her forehead, he knew that he had caused her to feel apologetic with a single punch last night.
"You're Young Master Dongfang?" Han Yancui exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Dongfang of the Pavilion of Ascending Mist, ranked fourth on the Young Master Board and seventh on the Martial Arts Ranking?" Hearing that, Lei Mingsheng was secretly surprised, thinking that he had been too busy with the Iron Vouchers, and did not even know that Dongfang Yu was such an expert, no wonder his Qing Gong was so good.
"The Smoke Rankings may have been mistaken, I am just an ordinary person, unlike Lady Han who ranks at the top of the list of beauties and deserves the title of Courtesan Belle."
"Cluck, cluck …" Han Yancui's bright eyes turned a few times as she smiled and said, "Young Master Dongfang is too kind. Aren't you being too modest? If you were on someone else, you would have already bragged about it, but you were so indifferent. "
A woman is a beauty, and her smile adds a touch of flirtatiousness, a bit of allure, a bit of charm, a bit of friendliness, a real 20 percent talent!" The more Dongfang Zhong saw, the more his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that Zhao Elder Sister Zi Yu was already pretty enough. This Han Yancui was even prettier than her!
Just as Dongfang Zhongyue was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sour sound of a woman's voice from behind him, "Yo yo yo, Lil Sis Yau Cui. These two men seem to be my guests!" Dongfang Zhongyue turned around and saw a woman in red standing at the door of the room to the left of the second floor. Her eyebrows were curved, her eyes were large, and her lips were like blossoming peach blossoms.
"Sister Ji is funny. Your customer is asking me where you are!" Han Yancui's indifferent tone carried a hint of disdain, "It's as if who wants to snatch it?" "Hee hee …" Ji Yaohua sneered coquettishly, "But I don't think you have any directions?"
Dongfang Zhongyu naturally looked at Han Yancui and said: "Lady Han and I are old acquaintances, so it's normal to talk …" "Thank you, Lady Han. I'll come again another day." When Han Yancui heard him say "visiting", she knew that he had not come to the academy, so she couldn't help but giggle and say in a low voice: "Young Master Dongfang, you have to keep your word! You're not allowed to let that demon woman hook her soul. "
"It's a deal." Dongfang Zhong nodded with a smile and walked towards Ji Yaohua with Lei Mingsheng. Ji Yaohua glared at Han Yancui and immediately put on a smile. "Please come in, my two lords …" You two are rare guests! Would you like green tea or flowered tea? "
Dongfang Zhongyue watched as she closed the door and said to Lei Mingsheng: "Thunderhead, just say it!" Ok, "Wu Tie took out his identity token and shook it." Ji girl, I'm the Chief Constable of Ying Tian Palace, Lei Mingsheng. I'm here to handle a case today.
"What?" Ji Yaohua was extremely surprised, her eyebrows knitted together as she said, "Grandpa Lei, are you sure you made a mistake? "I stay in the Phoenix Restaurant every day. What kind of case did you find me for?" There was a reason for me to look for you, "Lei Mingsheng said with a stern face." Let me ask you, was there someone looking for you last night in the middle of the night?
"Cluck, cluck …" "Haha …" Ji Yaohua was beaming with laughter. "Uncle Lei, I, Ji Yaohua, am quite famous. No one would come look for me one night …" "Be more honest!" Lei Mingsheng knew how to deal with a person like her. He sternly said, "Right now, you are already involved in a big case. Answer my question properly, otherwise, I will bring you back to the yamen to stand trial!"
Ji Yaohua was a little scared now as she pouted her lips and looked at Lei Mingsheng. The latter asked again, "Who came to see you at midnight yesterday? What business does he have with you? " Ji Yaohua rolled her eyes at him. "He's just a customer, I didn't ask for his name. What else can a man do when he's looking for me …" Go to sleep! " After saying that, her seductive eyes flew to the east to heal.
Dongfang Zhongyu took advantage of the situation and asked: "Is it really that simple? Perhaps you don't know that I'm from the Divine Arm Workshop? "I advise you to speak the truth, so as to avoid suffering in front of the yamen."
"Yo?" Ji Yaohua was obviously not scared by him. She giggled and asked, "I've heard about the Divine Artefact Workshop. Can Young Master Dongfang really know everything …?" "Shut up!" Lei Mingsheng reprimanded him, "If you don't answer the question properly, I will immediately lock you up and send you to the yamen!" As he spoke, he shook out a chain from his waist.
Ji Yaohua retracted her smile and said seriously, "Uncle Lei, even though I'm in a brothel, I'm still a person. I didn't break the law, so why are you capturing me?" Hehe, breaking the law is not up to you, "Lei Mingsheng sneered:" The man surnamed Qian who came to find you last night is a major criminal, he said … What did he want with you? "
"What does he being a fugitive have to do with me?" Ji Yaohua didn't seem to care at all as she replied, "I don't know him and didn't do anything illegal. At most, I could just help him deliver a letter …" Halfway through his words, he realized that something was wrong.
Lei Mingsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, "Where's the letter? "Bring it here!" Give it to someone... "I took it." "Who took it?" Yang Zhongkun... "Master Yang." Lei Mingsheng and Dongfang Zhongyu were very surprised, they looked at each other and didn't know what to say.
An imperceptible cold smile flashed at the corner of Ji Yaohua's mouth. She pretended to be nervous as she asked, "Sir Lei, I just helped pass on a letter. It's not illegal, right?" Dongfang Zhongyue asked, "Does Ji girl know the contents of the letter?"
"I don't know about that." Once she saw him, Ji Yaohua's eyes began to flicker with light, "I'm not from the Divine Arm Workshop, so I know about everything in the world … Ah? Young Master Dongfang is from the Divine Arm Workshop! Don't you know? " He swallowed his words to the point that Dongfang Zhong could only roll his eyes and hide it, "Thank you very much, Sir Lei. Let's go back!"
Under Ji Yaohua's scornful gaze, the two of them left Feng Returning Tower. Lei Mingsheng felt a bit disappointed but also a bit unwilling to accept the result. He asked in confusion, "Why did you drag me out? I think Ji Yaohua knows more about this. I want to lock her up and send her back to the yamen. "
"It's no use," Dongfang Zhongyue shook his head and said, "First, we don't have any evidence. She can make a confession at any time, and secondly, she said that she sent a letter to Yang Zhongkun, who is the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Also, this Ji Yaohua is not simple! It can't be an ordinary lady. "
Lei Mingsheng also knew that his words were reasonable. He sighed and asked, "Young Master Dongfang, what do you think we should do?" "Give up, don't look into it." How could that work? How could he not investigate the progress of the case? If we don't solve this case, what should we do with more than a hundred of our officers? "
"Big Brother Ley, you can only report this to Shangguan." Dongfang Zhongyu said: "Do you remember what Master Baili said before? I didn't understand it then, but now I understand it. Someone is going to deal with Li Jinglong, if you get involved, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive! "
Lei Mingsheng blinked and whispered, "You mean..." The Imperial Secret Service stole the Iron Vouchers? "But why?" What is the Embroidered Uniform Guard doing? " Lei Mingsheng was puzzled at first, but suddenly opened his eyes wide, "You mean...?"
Dongfang Zhongyue nodded and said, "It's very possible that his father killed a lot of those who founded the country. He's not much better!" Lei Mingsheng had a dejected look on his face...
By the time the two of them arrived at the top of the bridge, it was already afternoon. Lei Mingsheng suddenly swept the haze on his face, "Life and death are decided by fate, let's not bother with him anymore …" "Young Master Dongfang helped me so much, I have to treat you to a good meal no matter what." As he said that, he dragged Dongfang Zhongyue into the VIP restaurant …
It was easier to say than to do. Lei Mingsheng ordered a table full of dishes, but he only drank and sighed from time to time. This caused Dongfang Zhongzhong to be in a bad mood, so he could only console her with warm words. Lei Mingsheng suddenly shed a few tears and said: "I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm just worried that I won't have anyone to take care of me when I sit in the prison. "To tell you the truth, my woman is unfilial. It's fine when I'm here, but if I'm not …"
Dongfang Zhongyue was puzzled: "The case is more or less clear. You can just report it, how did you end up in jail?" Lei Mingsheng sighed and said, "I have no proof! "Since the case has already been sent to our yamen, we have to find an explanation. Even if Shangguan Ken trusts me, he has to sacrifice me for the sake of the errand boy …"
Before he could finish his words, a person rushed over to Lei Mingsheng and whispered something into his ear. Lei Mingsheng suddenly stood up and said happily, "Young Master Dongfang, we finally found out who that man surnamed Qian is! "My old brother begs you to help me catch him one more time!" The Dongfang Zhongyue sympathized with him, and secondly, relied on the alcohol to agree.
The three of them immediately went downstairs and led the way straight to the North Gate Market. It turned out that the man surnamed Qian had changed his surname and snuck into the Duke of Cao's estate to be a chef. He was currently in the market buying vegetables, and it was precisely because of his identity that no one suspected him.
Ying Tian Prefecture's servants and servants were spread out to every corner of the capital, and these minor characters were all useless in other ways. They followed, followed, asked around for the Zhang Family and Li Family members who were most proficient in them; people constantly reported the man surnamed Qian's exact location as they rushed over. At the same time, other constables were also gathering here.
When Dongfang Zhongyu and Lei Mingsheng arrived at the market, he was led up to a wooden building. He pointed to a man in the crowd nearby and said," That's him! " With too many people, it's not easy to make a move! " Lei Mingsheng was a little anxious, "Where are our people?
Someone replied, "They are all lying in ambush around the entrance to the street. When he gets to the intersection, there won't be many people around. We'll attack." Lei Mingsheng clapped excitedly, "That's great! Sigh … "Why did he turn around?"
