"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
The young Chen's wrist was grabbed by someone. He raised his arm and twisted his body into a strange shape. He was in so much pain that his facial features were twisted together.
"Let go of my young master!"
Several servants shouted and quickly ran over, wanting to stop the strange woman who suddenly appeared.
"Get lost!"
However, after the shout, they only felt their vision blur. A huge force came from their chest and abdomen. Their bodies flew backward and fell heavily to the ground.
"What did you just say?" Yangliuqing used more strength in her hand and looked at the young man coldly.
"No, nothing …" The sudden increase in pain made Chen sober. He quickly said, "It hurts, it hurts. Let go of me!"
"Get lost. Don't let me see you again!" Yangliuqing said coldly. Chen's body also flew out.
This fall was even worse. His bones were about to fall apart. He got up from the ground and took two steps back. He pointed at them fiercely and said, "Just you wait!"
This time, he didn't dare to continue saying harsh words. He turned around and left with a few servants. After all, this woman didn't look easy to deal with. It seemed that there were accomplices coming from the side. If they stayed, they would probably suffer even more.
Although what happened just now was short, many people saw it. They surrounded and pointed at Young Master Chen's back as he left. Their eyes were filled with disdain.
A foppish young master flirting with a good girl. This was a scene that happened every day in the capital.
"Miss Yang, why are you here …"
Zeng Zuimo looked at Yangliuqing with some confusion. The two of them knew each other in Qing 'an Prefecture, but their friendship wasn't deep. At this moment, she was a little curious. Why would she appear here at such a critical moment? Moreover, it seemed like she had been here all along.
Yangliuqing waved at the figures that were approaching them. She then looked back at them and asked, "Are you guys okay?"
Zeng Zuimo shook her head. Looking at the figures retreating, she seemed to have understood something.
She didn't ask anymore. She looked at her and said, "Miss Yang, please come in and have a seat."
Yangliuqing shook her head and said, "I won't go in. It hasn't been peaceful these days. If you encounter anything wrong, just shout from inside. Someone outside can hear you."
After saying that, she smiled and turned to leave.
In the past few months, she had been working hard to improve her ranking on the Heaven List. However, after entering the top 30, it was extremely difficult for her to win. She needed to accumulate enough strength. She had fought countless people, and her experience was already very different from before. There was no point in participating in more battles. It just so happened that she had a mission, so she simply came here. She didn't expect to encounter such a thing on the first day.
It was just that she was curious about Miss Zeng. It had already been so long, so she should have been welcomed into the house by Senior Uncle long ago. Why was she still … Thinking of this, she stopped thinking about it. This matter seemed a little complicated, and it wasn't something she could participate in.
"Miss, they …" Xiao Cui watched them leave and scratched her head in confusion. Zeng Zuimo waved her hand and said, "It's fine. Let's go in."
At this moment, she could also guess that Li Yi must have sent more people here. However, she did not expect that Young Duke Qin's revenge would not come, but this Young Master Chen.
However, in this way, she was indeed a lot more relieved.
As for that Chen, she might have been a little worried before. However, she had seen the king, the duke, and all the top foppish young masters in the capital. The son of the minister of rites didn't seem to be that scary …
"Bitch, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"
On a street somewhere in the capital, the young man with the surname Chen rubbed his chest. His expression was still a little painful as he said coldly.
"Young master, are you okay?" A servant saw this and hurried forward to help him pat the dust off his body.
"I'm fine." The young man stood where he was and waited for the servant to pat the dust off his clothes. Then he said gloomily, "She's just a prostitute. Why is she pretending to be a good person? Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Then, young master, where are we going now?"
"To the Spring Pavilion!"
The young man with the surname Chen said angrily. After so many days, he still hadn't taken down the Luo Shui goddess. He was afraid that people would laugh at him. At this moment, he had a stomach full of anger and needed to vent.
As for other things, he needed to think about them at length.
…
Early in the morning, the capital's governor, Liu Dayou, came out of his wife's room and rubbed his waist. He couldn't help but sigh. Time really didn't wait for people. Without the tiger and wolf medicine, his body was becoming more and more unable to take it.
These days, his wife complained that she always went to his concubine's room and neglected him. She wanted to perform well last night, but she didn't expect that she would overdo it. Her body couldn't take it anymore.
He looked up and saw a figure walking out of the courtyard. He hurriedly asked, "Where are you going so early in the morning?"
"To the Union." The girl turned her head and said. The next moment, she disappeared without a trace.
"The Union, the Union, what's there to cooperate with …" County Magistrate Liu complained. For the Union, she went out every two or three days. Was this what a woman should do?
However, this involved Her Royal Highness, and there were maids and servants around his daughter. Nothing serious would happen, so he let her go.
These days, nothing major happened in the capital, and he didn't have too many official affairs to deal with. County Magistrate Liu sat in the back hall, drinking tea and holding a popular novel on the market, enjoying a moment of leisure.
"Your Excellency, something serious happened!"
Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, a person hurried in and said anxiously.
"What's the hurry? What can happen?" County Magistrate Liu looked at him discontentedly. "Can there be a murder case?"
Detective Zhao swallowed and said, "Your Excellency, there really is a murder case!"
County Magistrate Liu spat out all the tea in his mouth.
…
Before he finished drinking a cup of tea, he had to hurry out. County Magistrate Liu looked unlucky. It had been a long time since there had been a murder case in the capital. His Majesty had praised him last time for his outstanding achievements in public security in the few months he was in office. It had only been a few days, and there was a murder case. Wasn't it a slap in his face?
Moreover, the identity of the victim this time was really sensitive. He was the son of the Minister Counsellor of the Ministry of Rites, and he was inextricably linked to Marquess Chen's Mansion. He had to be careful!
"What happened?" On the way, County Magistrate Liu asked Detective Zhao.
Detective Zhao immediately answered, "The victim is the son of Lord Chen's family in the Ministry of Rites. It was said that the servants in the mansion didn't see him get up for a long time, so the maid went to knock on the door, but no one answered. Later, when they forced their way in, they found him dead on the bed."
"He died on his own bed?" County Magistrate Liu frowned and asked, "What's the cause of death?"
Detective Zhao replied, "There's no result from the coroner yet, but according to the servant who reported the case, it should be poisoning."
It was already troublesome for a person to die, but it was the son of an official who died. It was twice as troublesome. He could have died of any reason, but it happened that he was poisoned, which made it even more difficult. County Magistrate Liu didn't have Liu Yiyi, so he had a headache thinking about this case.
He said with some irritation, "Find out who the son of the Chen family has been in contact with these days, and what he has done. Don't forget anything."
Detective Zhao nodded and said, "I've asked someone to ask the servants who usually follow him."
Before they reached the Chen's Mansion, they bumped into several constables.
"Why did you guys come out?" Arrester Zhao was stunned for a moment before he asked.
One of them waved his hand helplessly and said, "This case has just been taken over by the Ministry of Justice."
Hearing that, County Magistrate Liu was stunned and said with some doubt, "The Ministry of Justice has taken over?"
