He just whispered, "I'm afraid I can't replace you. Mr. Zhao has already spoken. He won't leave until you go back! He also said that if you don't come to see him, he will break your legs."
These words sounded like what his father had said, and Zhao Shuhai became even more frightened.
At this moment, not only Zhao Shuhai, but also the boy who was following Zhao Shuhai was frightened.
After all, although the old prince would hit his master when he was really angry, many times, the old prince's whip would still hit his little follower.
Moreover, Zhao Shuhai is still the son of the old prince after all. No matter how angry the old prince is, his actions will be different.
However, for himself, the old prince was not that aware of the importance. His whip hit him, and it was really painful. He was whipped several times and almost couldn't save his life. If it hadn't been for the prince to take it, The good medicine saved him, but he really would have died a thousand and eight hundred times earlier.
Lu Zhizhang naturally saw the boy's reaction.
So he just said to Zhao Shuhai, "I think it's better for you to go back quickly. After all, it's Dali Temple there. With so many colleagues watching, it's hard for your father to take action. If you follow him Talk about it, this beating is better than keeping it and going back for a beating, right?"
After hearing Lu Zhizhang's analysis, Zhao Shuhai felt that what the other party said was somewhat reasonable. He nodded, "Okay! Mr. Lu, I will remember your kindness. I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity to do so someday."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shuhai planned to ask the boy beside him to leave with him.
However, Lu Zhizhang designed this to separate the master and servant.
Now it seems that the plan has been half successful. How could he let them go to another place again!
So Lu Zhizhang immediately said to Zhao Shuhai, "Master Zhao, I'm afraid you, this little boy, can't go with you."
Zhao Shuhai looked at Lu Zhizhang with a puzzled look on his face, "Why?"
Lu Zhizhang said, "Didn't you also say that? You owe me a favor. You don't have to repay it another day. Just repay it now. I need someone to find the burial place of Wang Laotou for me now. You little boy can't do it." Do you know very well where Wang Laotou’s body is buried? Why not let him accompany me there.”
After hearing this, Zhao Shuhai wanted to say more, but the boy obviously didn't want to be blamed by the old prince. After all, the old prince might not have done anything to beat the young master in Dali Temple, but beating him was very effective. possible.
Although the young master was kind to him, it didn't mean that he was willing to lose half of his life by the old prince. xь.
So after Lu Zhizhang's words fell, the boy could not wait to follow him and said, "Sir, our kindness will be repaid on the same day. You can let me help you repay the kindness."
Zhao Shuhai didn't think much about it. Now that he saw the young man coming out to say this, he immediately agreed with the young man's words, "Okay, then you go with Master Lu. I'll go back to the Yamen first."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Shuhai immediately rode towards the Yamen.
After the boy saw Zhao Shuhai leaving, he also said to Lu Zhizhang, "Master Lu, let's go too. I will take you to see Wang Laotou."
However, after hearing the boy's words, Lu Zhizhang was very calm and motionless.
Just when the boy was confused, Lu Zhizhang finally said, "Come here! Take him down."
As Lu Zhizhang finished speaking, several officers immediately captured Zhao Shuhai's servant.
Everything happened so suddenly that the boy didn't even react at the moment. Being detained, he naturally realized that the situation was not good. He immediately started struggling. However, he alone was no match for those officers. , he could only say loudly, "Master Lu, what are you doing arresting the villain? Didn't the villain already say that he is willing to take you to find Wang Laotou?"
Hearing what the boy said, Lu Zhizhang just said expressionlessly, "Shut up, you naughty slave! It's you I'm arresting! Do you think I don't know what you instigated Mr. Zhao to do? Come on! Show me the beating!" "
Hearing this, the young man's face suddenly turned pale. He originally thought that he had finally gotten rid of the old prince's whip this time, but he never expected that this Lu Zhizhang was actually a nobody.
An was kind-hearted and said that he would take care of himself with a stick, but the young man was frightened by what he said.
But at a certain moment, he finally remembered that his master was not Lu Zhizhang, and that he had not made any mistakes.
At that moment, the boy seemed to realize something. He immediately stiffened his neck and said, "Stop it! Why do you hit me? I tell you! I am a servant of Prince Zhao's family. You hit me for no reason. If you hit my master, you must consider the consequences of hitting me."
After hearing what the boy said, no one from the officer or the others dared to take action. However, when Lu Zhizhang saw that no one was taking action, he only looked at the group of people around him and said, "What? You don't dare to do it now?"
The subordinates who were despised by Lu Zhizhang could only whisper, "Master Lu, there is no reason for this. We really can't use lynching indiscriminately!"
Hearing the officer's words, the boy immediately became angry and said, "Mr. Lu, didn't you just use this method just to distract our eldest son? You really took great pains to catch me! It's a pity that I didn't If I commit a crime, you can’t do anything to me!”
After saying this, the boy just said to the guard guarding him, "You idiot, why are you still holding on to me? Why don't you let me go quickly."
The officers who arrested him at first were obviously a little embarrassed. They glanced at Lu Zhizhang for help, but Lu Zhizhang said coldly, "You didn't commit any crime? Are you sure?"
When the boy heard this, he immediately said, "Of course, what does the death of prison chief Wang have to do with us? The prince and I have never gone back since we left Qionghua Building at noon. If we hadn't come to check in the morning, we would have even I don’t even know that something happened to Wang Laotou.”
"Since something happened to the prison chief Wang, and you were not the murderer, why didn't you choose to report it to the official, but instead just had the prison chief secretly buried?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's questions, the boy could hardly say a word.
Then Lu Zhizhang only continued, "Besides, I have heard it from the jailers a long time ago. The person who went to pick up cell leader Wang at noon that day and the person who came to pick up the prisoner in the afternoon were actually the same person. If you are innocent, how dare you agree with me?" Shall I go to the prison and let the jailor identify you?"
Facing Lu Zhizhang's questions, the boy immediately became even more afraid to say anything. He never thought that Wang Laotou would die, let alone that things would develop to this point.
So when he went to do errands that day, he really didn't think about avoiding suspicion. As long as someone came over to identify him, he would be sure to catch him.
Seeing that the boy remained silent, Lu Zhizhang just raised his voice and said, "Why don't you speak? Are you feeling guilty?"
Being ridiculed by Lu Zhizhang, the boy just whispered, "Master Lu, I have nothing to say."
Lu Zhizhang wanted more than just an attitude from the boy. He only continued, "Do you know that the prisoner is the one I am arresting? If you let him go secretly, I won't be exaggerating even if I kill you with a stick!"
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the boy was obviously frightened, but he was still trying to show his strength, "Master Lu, don't scare me. After all, I am also a member of Mr. Zhao's family. Even if you want to deal with it, Then it’s not your turn, only Mr. Zhao can deal with me!”
Hearing what the young man said, Lu Zhizhang couldn't help but sneered, "Do you think I dare not see Mr. Zhao? Do you think you have much face to speak of in front of Mr. Zhao? If Mr. Zhao knew that you instigated If Prince Zhao does something like this, I believe he will be more ruthless than me."
At this moment, Lu Zhizhang could be said to have grasped three inches of this boy's body.
None of the words he said were exaggerated, and the young man knew very well that if Mr. Zhao really took action, he might not be disabled, but would definitely have to be publicly executed and beaten to death.
After all, Old Prince Zhao felt that he had led Young Master Zhao Shuhai into trouble before. Now if Shuhai's reputation was ruined again, even if he died several times, it might not be enough for Old Prince Zhao to vent his anger.
Lu Zhizhang naturally knew that the boy was scared, so after threatening the boy, he only whispered, "Tell me where the prisoner was hidden by you?"
The boy refused to say anything after hearing this, and Lu Zhizhang didn't give him time to think about it.
He said, "Okay! You don't want to say it, right? Then let's go to Mr. Zhao's house now. If you don't say it now, the old prince will definitely let you recruit everything."
How could this young boy withstand such repeated threats? After he was almost frightened, he said desperately, "No! Don't send me to see Mr. Zhao! I said, I will say anything!"
Seeing that the boy was scared to death, Lu Zhizhang naturally stopped at this moment. He looked at the boy calmly and said, "Okay, I'll give you a chance, but you'd better tell the truth, otherwise if I don't find it, That prisoner, I will still hand you over to Mr. Zhao."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's words, the man immediately said dejectedly, "Sir, I will tell you the truth. In fact, the villain still had an eye on the prisoner. He didn't really let him go. In fact, he even escorted him there. The prince’s other courtyard.”
Lu Zhizhang didn't have much interaction with Zhao Shuhai, so it was naturally impossible for him to know where Zhao Shuhai's villa was.
But it was fine as long as no one was lost, so Lu Zhizhang just said to the young man, "Take us to your eldest son's villa."
Hearing Lu Zhizhang's request, the boy probably wanted to give himself some leeway, so he did not immediately agree to Lu Zhizhang's request. He just whispered, "Master Lu, I can take you to the other courtyard of Master Lu. But you also have to Agree to my request."
Hearing what the boy said, Lu Zhizhang just raised his head and motioned for the boy to continue talking.
The boy received the signal and continued, "Master Lu, if the prisoner is found by the villain, can you pretend that what happened today has never happened?"
