"Thank you for your kindness." Wang Yehao thanked him and turned around to ask Mr. Zhou, "Mr. Zhou, is he interested?"
Mr. Zhou was quite satisfied to see Wang Yehao being so righteous. Judging from his appearance, he was originally going to pretend to be polite, but he was afraid that the cooked duck would fly away, so he hesitated for a long time before he finally said: "Haha, if you are busy, I will go and have a look."
Zhou Lezhi almost couldn't hold back when he saw his husband being so shy. He felt that after getting along with him these days, his true face was being revealed bit by bit. But he didn't hate it.
Next to him, the prefect Zhou saw Wang Yehao giving up the oiran to a Qing guest, and he was very perfunctory during the banquet. I know that this must be a person that Mr. Wang values . Now I took a closer look at this "weirdo" with a strange accent and vulgar language. This man's face is as white as jade, and his fingers are as thin as green onions. He should be from a wealthy family. He probably has not read much. He is probably a playboy, and his family is quite wealthy. Thinking of this, Magistrate Zhou hurriedly asked his servant to take Mr. Zhou to find Fang.
When Mr. Zhou went to look for Fang, Zhou Lezhi was hesitating whether to follow him or not, but Mr. Wang winked at him and quickly followed him.
Mr. Zhou followed Gui Nu to a small building. Gui Nu nodded and said, "Daye is right here."
Zhou Lezhi quickly took out a bunch of copper coins, rewarded the turtle slave, and ordered him to retreat. Waiting downstairs by yourself. I saw the husband ascending the stairs in two or three steps, and asked in a polite manner at the door: "Is this Miss Youqing's boudoir?"
"Is it Mr. Wang?" A young woman's voice came from the room.
Zhou Lezhi originally thought that his husband was going to report himself, but unexpectedly he coughed and said in an official accent: "It's me."
This sentence almost made Zhou Lezhi laugh out loud.
I heard a soft female voice coming from the pavilion: "Master Wang, please come in. I am changing my clothes and it is inconvenient to greet you. I hope you will forgive me."
Although Zhou Lezhi was downstairs and could not hear clearly, the charm of the sound immediately made his blood boil, causing an unstoppable physiological change. I thought to myself that this prostitute is a famous prostitute, she is indeed amazing! Mr. is still lucky! I don’t know when I will be able to be like my husband...
Mr. Zhou upstairs was no better than him and said anxiously: "My officer is here!"
There was only a sound from the door, which seemed like someone was entering.
Then I heard the woman say slightly jokingly. "Master Wang, please remember to close the door."
A creaking sound was heard, followed by the sound of the door latch closing. Zhou Lezhi thought to himself: Sir, you are very cautious!
Unexpectedly, within a moment of entering, the gentleman screamed: "I'm going to die!"
Zhou Lezhi smiled secretly in his heart: Sir, this is too fast!
Unexpectedly, he heard a clear and clear voice from a woman: "Shameless eunuch, die soon!" This was followed by the sound of tables and chairs rolling over and utensils falling. Zhou Lezhi was so frightened that his whole body trembled. Knowing that something had changed inside him, he immediately got up and rushed upstairs.
Before I could go upstairs, I heard a sputtering noise inside. It was mixed with the husband's exclamation: "You! What do you want to do? Don't come here. Help! Help!"
Zhou Lezhi pushed hard at the door, but it didn't budge. The latch inside was firmly inserted. In desperation, he pushed the door open and shouted for help: "Come quickly! Come quickly! There is an assassin!!!"
"Dog officer! Go to hell!" The woman's hateful murderous cry almost tore his eardrums. Suddenly, it became quiet for an instant, and then there was another thud, which seemed to be the sound of someone falling to the ground. Zhou Lezhi was sweating profusely, Another series of calls for help.
The Guinu courtyard worker heard a cry for help coming from upstairs and hurriedly came up to check. Unfortunately, the door was bolted, and it took several people and Zhou Lezhi a long time to open it. When they opened the door, everyone was dumbfounded. They saw that the room was in a mess, with all kinds of objects falling all over the room. A scholar was pressing down on a girl on the ground, and kept shouting for help. Neither is this gang, nor is it not a gang. The situation is very embarrassing.
A turtle slave said: "You all don't understand. This is the play of Guo Nian drunkenly beating the golden branch. The one he collided with was the princess, so he had to beg for mercy after the beating."
Another guard's thug quickly expressed his dissent: "You're talking nonsense, hitting the golden branches is just to cause trouble, but it's to cry for help! This is clearly Tang San hiding in the Daughter's Kingdom!"
Zhou Lezhi was so anxious that he jumped up and down: "This is an assassination! Save Mr. Zhou quickly!"
Mr. Zhou felt depressed when he heard that, and shouted in a tearful tone: "This is a female assassin! Look, there is a dagger over there!"
After hearing that it was an assassination, everyone rushed forward and helped Mr. Zhou up. At this time, a hospital worker screamed: "This...this is not Miss Youqing!"
Only then did everyone realize that the situation was not good, and several people quickly turned the arms of the woman who was trying to get up and pushed her to the ground. Someone else hurried to the front to report.
Wang Yehao and his party rushed over in a short time. The people watching at the door quickly separated, and Magistrate Zhou immediately called to the accompanying Yamen: "Tie me up quickly!"
The officials immediately stepped forward to pick up Mr. Zhou and dragged him aside, twisting his arms to tie him up.
"Wrong, tie up that woman!" Magistrate Zhou realized that the target was wrong and quickly corrected it.
At this moment, the woman's arms were twisted and held down by several big men, and she could no longer resist. After being tied up, he still kept cursing. Magistrate Zhou winked, and the guard quickly found a rag and blocked the woman's mouth.
"Sir, you are frightened. This..." Wang Yehao asked.
"This female thief wanted to assassinate Mr. Wang, but luckily I stopped her." Mr. Zhou regained his composure and said with a hint of fear, "The dagger is still there."
This statement made Governor Zhou turn pale with fright. Someone assassinated the minister at the place he arranged. Moreover, when he came over just now, he heard a woman faintly yelling and cursing "eunuchs". What was going to happen? Things, let alone Wu Sha Mao, if you don't do it well, your head will be in danger.
His face was gloomy and he said: "How dare such a bold thief dare to cause trouble here! Call the madam over here!"
After hearing this, the old bustard's face turned pale. Not to mention that the person who was stabbed was Mr. Wang's guest, it was not easy for her to explain even if something happened to an ordinary guest. She came upstairs tremblingly, and knelt down with a pop. Defense: "Two gentlemen! I don't even know what's going on..."
"Who is this woman, and why is she in Miss Youqing's room?"
"Replying to the master, I don't know that this girl has been enslaving people in my courtyard from time to time..."
"Bold! If it weren't for the girl in your shop, couldn't it be that I brought her here?" Prefect Zhou snorted coldly and ordered: "Come here! Play twenty small boards!"
The accompanying officials responded in unison and dragged the madam to the ground, with a crackling sound. The beating made the old bustard scream and scream for injustice.
"This slave really doesn't know... I really don't know... Oops! Oops... Master, please forgive me..."
Zhou Lezhi was so frightened that he shrank back and did not dare to speak. Looking at his husband, his face was livid, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After typing the board, Magistrate Zhou asked slowly: "Do you know now?"
The old madam cried and said: "I really don't know. I arranged for Gu Qing to wait in the room tonight. I came to see her before the banquet was over. The girl was still there at that time... Please forgive me..." After that, he kowtowed repeatedly. beg for mercy.
At this time, the lights and candles had been lit, and the room was finally a little brighter. Liu Zhao glanced at the female thief, his eyes widened in shock, and his spine went cold. He quickly leaned into Wang Yehao's ear and whispered, "Sir, this is the daughter of Mr. Guo Yuan."
After Wang Yehao heard this, his surprise flashed across his face, and he immediately began to take control of the scene: "Master Zhou, in my opinion, this matter cannot be made public."
Seeing that Wang Yehao not only did not blame him, but also took the initiative to help him out, Magistrate Zhou quickly followed up: "What Mr. Wang said is true!"
"There are many people and there are many eyes, and Lord Lao Zhou needs to clear the place. As for the female thief who committed the theft late at night, I will personally interrogate it."
Once Magistrate Zhou heard that Mr. Wang characterized the matter as a theft rather than an assassination, he was safe. Moreover, the assassination of the female talent repeatedly mentioned "eunuch", and he was even more afraid of getting angry, so he hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, it all depends on Mr. Wang." After that, he asked his men to quietly send the female thief to the king. On the master's boat.
The turtle slave working in the yard here searched and found Miss Youqing. It turned out that she was on the canopy bed, tied tightly by her skirt, and her mouth was stuffed with cloth. I heard she said that she was putting on makeup in the house when someone suddenly hit her hard from behind and she fainted.
"This slave is lying on the bed in a daze, not knowing what is happening outside..." Youqing cried. Seeing this situation, she knew something was fishy, so she insisted that she knew nothing.
"Old Master, there has been a robbery in the Zhaiyue Building, and it is not convenient for students to disturb them. I will leave now." He said with a slight smile.
Prefect Zhou knew this well and immediately said: "Come here! Capture this old bustard and his boss! Send them back to the government office for trial!"
The Madam and Youqing kept shouting that they were wronged, but the government officials were like wolves and tigers. They wrapped iron chains around their necks and dragged them down.
Zhou Lezhi was stunned. This was the first time he saw a high-ranking official trying a case. Favoritism was common in the clan when dealing with disputes, but at least there was a decent reason. This high-ranking official was good, he did not distinguish between right and wrong. , confusing right and wrong. He turned around and returned to Youqing's boudoir, only to see Mr. Zhou sitting on the bed, breathing heavily, seemingly in shock.
Zhou Lezhi went over and whispered: "Sir, how are you? Mr. Wang is going back soon..."
Mr. Zhou shook his head and whispered: "Bring me that powder box."
"Powder box?" Zhou Leyi was stunned, and followed his gaze. Among the objects knocked over on the floor, a pink powder box with a strange material caught his eye. He quickly picked it up and handed it to his husband. The gentleman took it in his hand and looked at it for a moment, with a look of horror on his face. His hands trembled involuntarily.
With a "clang" sound, the powder box fell to the ground. Zhou Lezhi quickly picked it up, and then he saw a line of Western text printed on the back of the compact - "Made in China".
