Ji Hongluan looked serious, her face darkened and she said reproachfully: "What are you saying in such a shady manner? Didn't you see that I was helping you arrest people? Don't accuse me unjustly!"
Xiao Chen smiled, glanced at Yun Zhonghe casually, and pinched Ji Hongluan's face in a bad way. He didn't take the thief who came in late at night seriously at all, and approached Ji Hongluan to tease him, " Is the beauty angry?"
"you!"
Ji Hongluan wanted to push him away, but both hands were occupied and she couldn't move away.
"Are you still there to watch the joke? Here's this for you, take it yourself!" With a push of his little hand, Ji Hongluan forced the snatched piece of plain paper to him.
Xiao Chen took it casually, opened it and took a look, and the sentence "It is forbidden to use martial arts in the hot summer, and Chu's achievements will be useless when the world is at peace" rushed into his eyes.
The cold eyes slowly narrowed, and Xiao Chen couldn't help but have a hint of danger in his eyes, and his voice also dropped, "Reverse poetry?"
"Are you trying to frame the governor?"
But if you look closely, you can see that the writing style of the whole poem is jerky and nonsense. It can be said that it is just for the sake of rebellion. Even if it is to frame the blame, it is not necessarily very clever.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but take a closer look at Yun Zhonghe. This person was able to avoid the layers of defenses in the post house and easily enter his residence, which showed his outstanding martial arts skills.
Although he is not as good as Ji Hongluan, he should still have a considerable status in the world. Why would he do such a thing for no reason?
"Someone instigated you to frame this governor, who is it?" Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.
Yun Zhonghe was firmly controlled by Ji Hongluan. He was unable to break free and unwilling to escape. Now that he had been caught, he simply darkened his face and said coldly: "I can't stand your behavior." You eunuch, so come here, kill or cut into pieces as you please!"
Since he had made a promise first, even if he was executed on the spot by this eunuch today, he would never say Li Bingzhu's name.
On the side, Ji Hongluan's face darkened, she glanced at Yun Zhonghe, and couldn't help but said solemnly: "I know who sent him here."
"It must be Li Bingzhu."
"Oh?" Xiao Chen's eyes showed a hint of interest, and he asked deliberately: "Why do you see it?"
Ji Hongluan sighed with emotion and elaborated, "Yun Zhonghe is a well-known chivalrous man in the world who robs the rich and helps the poor. I met him in a sword discussion before. We have quite antagonistic tempers and deep feelings for each other." I know he is not a person who would give in to money."
"There have been rumors in the past two years that he is involved with a concubine of a prefect. From today's perspective, there is no doubt that the prefect must be Li Bingzhu."
"Li Bingzhu must have noticed that you obtained the account book, so he wanted to take advantage of it first, so he used his concubine to blackmail Yun Zhonghe and asked him to help him accomplish this."
After saying that, Ji Hongluan looked at Yunzhonghe steadily and asked calmly: "Am I right?"
Yun Zhonghe couldn't help but show an increasingly ashamed look in his eyes. Now that the matter had come to this, he had no choice but to admit it. However, he would never lie about something he didn't know, "I don't know about the ledger." , I just made an agreement with Li Bingzhu to do this."
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and was pleasantly surprised that Ji Hongluan, an irritable girl, had such a thoughtful mind, and felt as if he had found a treasure.
For a moment, I was also a little curious about Yun Zhonghe.
Ni crookedly hugged Ji Hongluan's shoulders and gave her an approving look. Xiao Chen couldn't help but look at Yun Zhonghe playfully, "What agreement did you reach with Li Bingzhu?"
Yun Zhonghe looked troubled for a long time, but hesitating was not the behavior of a man. Since everything had been seen through, he simply said happily: "As long as I can accomplish this, he will let me and Qinxiang fly away." , and spare Qinxiang’s family.”
It's just that today he failed in vain, so he can't blame others.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and asked with some confusion: "So, do you really believe it?"
"Master Yun, with all due respect, based on my understanding of Li Bingzhu, this man is a man of words and a double-edged sword. I'm afraid he may say so, but when you left the Li Mansion, he had already treated your woman. Let’s start.”
"Anyway, if you come here with a counter-poem, that woman will be useless. How can he endure this hat on his head?"
"I can confirm that you have been deceived."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he couldn't help but look at Yun Zhonghe with sympathy and a little ridiculous.
Yun Zhonghe suddenly stiffened. Xiao Chen's words were like a thunderbolt to him. Of course, they were also enlightening.
His face instantly turned pale, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "Xiang'er!"
Immediately, Ji Hongluan broke away and went back to save people.
"Hey, wait a minute," Xiao Chen stopped him and said leisurely, "You don't have to go there in person. The governor just wants to settle a score with Li Bingzhu, so it doesn't hurt to have someone rescue your woman first."
"You? Are you willing to help me?" Yun Zhonghe couldn't believe it. He couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen in surprise and exploration, as if he wanted to see something from this handsome and cunning eunuch's face.
Xiao Chen smiled casually, and was too lazy to tell him more about what happened on a whim. He just said casually: "No need to be grateful, I just like to eat melons."
"Eat... melon?" Yun Zhonghe was even more puzzled.
"Oh, it's nothing, haha." Xiao Chen casually said haha, sat down leisurely on a chair nearby, and said with a wicked smile: "What I mean is that this favor cannot be in vain."
"You have to tell the story about you and the concubine to this governor. Tell it nicely and vividly. I don't have to be dissatisfied."
Yun Zhonghe's eyes were even more strange, but then he sneered and realized that although this eunuch had a high and powerful position, he was lonely because he was not a man, and he was very curious about the love between men and women.
Taking a deep breath, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen carefully.
No matter what happened today, it was Xiao Chen who let him go. Since he only had this request, he would just agree to it.
"Okay, I promise you." Yun Zhonghe said solemnly.
Xiao Chen lazily rocked the rocking chair, raised his eyebrows slightly, and signaled to Ji Hongluan, "Pour some tea for me."
Ji Hongluan glanced at him bitterly, but her hands had become accustomed to his handling, and she subconsciously fell over.
Xiao Chen then called Xiang Yichun and gave him some instructions, asking him to do it quickly.
Concubine Shu was also awakened by the movement here. She dressed neatly across the screen in the bedroom and came over to listen to the book with Xiao Chen.
It turns out that Yun Zhonghe and Qin Xiang were childhood sweethearts. Later, Yun Zhonghe went out to explore the world, and Qin Xiang's father was greedy for money, so he sold her to Li Bingzhu as a concubine. They were also a pair of star-crossed lovers.
While listening to the book, in less than half an hour, Xiang Yichun came back with a beauty on his shoulders, knocked on the door, and waited respectfully outside the door to return.
"Come in."
Xiao Chen called out and saw Xiang Yichun coming in carrying a fainted young beauty. There was an obvious purple mark on the beauty's neck.
"Master Governor, when my subordinates arrived at Li Bingzhu's house, they found him looking at two servants and trying to strangle the girl to death."
