"Spare you?"
Luo Lan suddenly snorted coldly, "You almost killed Dazhi. How can you forgive me just by asking for mercy?"
Having said this, she half-squinted her eyes, gritted her teeth, and took two steps on the spot. Then she stopped and said coldly to him:
"Although I cannot spare you lightly, you can make up for your mistakes. As long as you do one thing for me, I can reduce your punishment."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng nodded hurriedly, "Even if the princess orders you, don't say one thing, even if it's ten or a hundred, I'm still willing to do it."
The corners of Luo Lan's mouth twitched, revealing an unfathomable smile.
Leng Yun, if you dare to attack the people in my Prince Yu's Mansion, I will let you know that the people in my Prince Yu's Mansion are not easy to mess with.
At dusk that day, Xiao Feng squatted in the corner outside the backyard wall of Prince Yu's Mansion like a thief. After a while, a whistle sounded. He stood up, put his hand into his mouth, and whistled in response. A dark shadow appeared in front of him.
Xiao Fengzi greeted him as if he was busy trying to please him.
"Brother Zhu, you're here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xiaozhu looked at him with half-squinted eyes, a look of pride on his face.
"You kid, where have you been these past two days? Why hasn't there been any movement? I've been here looking for you for two days, and I thought you were caught for being cowardly."
"How can I?"
Xiao Fengzi grinned and responded in a flattering way,
"After giving the medicine to that child, I have to observe him for two days and wait until he is dead. Otherwise, I would not dare to come to you to receive the reward."
"You know the truth."
As Xiao Zhuzhu spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his waist, weighed it in his hand, and asked proudly:
"Is someone dead?"
Xiao Fengzi hurriedly bent down and replied:
"Dead, dead, if not dead, how dare I come to you to ask for reward?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaozhu put the silver ingot in his hand and said contemptuously:
"Take this money, leave here, leave the capital, and don't let me see you again."
Seeing the silver, Xiao Feng was stunned for a moment, "Brother Zhu, did you say you would give me one hundred taels of silver at the beginning? This is only ten taels. Where are the remaining ninety taels?"
Xiao Zhuzi's eyes suddenly widened. When Xiao Feng was caught off guard, he pulled up his collar and roared with gritted teeth,
"You kid killed someone, so ten taels of silver is not enough for you? Do you fucking believe that I'm sending you to see the King of Hell?"
Hearing this, Xiao Feng was dumbfounded. He waved his hands and begged,
"Brother Zhu, spare your life. Just ten taels. But before I leave, can you tell me that the Crown Prince has a grudge against Prince Yu's Mansion, so why did he kill Dazhi?"
Xiaozhu suddenly stood up and looked at him, and replied word by word:
"You don't need to know this."
As soon as he said this, he suddenly took out a knife and said bitterly:
"You are too curious to stay, so don't blame me for being cruel."
Seeing the shining knife, Xiao Feng looked around in panic and kept pleading,
"Brother Zhu, please spare me. I have already killed that kid Dazhi as you said. You can't just kill the donkey!"
Xiao Zhuzhu twitched the corner of his mouth and said in a sinister and dark voice:
"Hmph! As long as you die, no one will know that I asked you to kill the person. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that your mouth will not leak out. Do you think I will let you live?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the knife in his hand and headed straight for Xiao Feng.
At this moment, a stone landed firmly on his wrist, knocking the short knife out of his hand. At the same time, four or five men in black came out from nowhere and surrounded the two of them.
Xiaozhu suddenly panicked and wanted to retreat, but found that he had retreated to the base of the wall, with no way out.
Luo Lan ducked out of the way, walked up to him in the darkness, and whispered to the people around him:
"Master Zhou, you heard their conversation just now. Xiao Zhuzhu bribed Xiao Feng to kill the ambition of my Prince Yu's Mansion. You Shuntian Mansion cannot ignore this matter."
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuzhu looked around in a panic, then looked at Xiao Feng with his neck raised, pointed at him, and roared with gritted teeth,
"Hey Xiao Feng, how dare you betray me? Just wait..."
Xiao Feng stood next to Luo Lan, suddenly feeling confident, "Humph! If the princess hadn't come earlier, you would have killed and silenced her long ago. I'm waiting, what can you do?"
At this time, Master Zhou suddenly shouted sharply:
"Come here, take these two people back to Shuntian Mansion and wait for the Lord to come to court for questioning tomorrow."
Hearing this, Xiao Fengzi hurriedly begged Luo Lan:
"Princess, you promised to let me go, but you can't let me enter Shuntian Mansion. You have to say something for me."
Luo Lan looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice:
"If I let you go today, there will be more people who dare to sit on my neck like you and shit like you tomorrow. You are an adult and you have to pay for what you have done. But don't worry, Dazhi If you are not dead, Master Yu may be able to reduce your punishment."
Hearing this, Xiao Feng looked at her with gritted teeth, "Princess Yu, you are a liar."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Hou who was standing aside kicked him hard on the leg. If there were not two official servants supporting him, he would definitely fall.
Ah Hou said bitterly:
"You ungrateful thing, if Princess Yu hadn't saved you in time today, you would have died in the hands of this man sooner or later. You still don't know how to be grateful? How dare you slander the princess?"
Luo Lan raised the corner of his mouth and said coldly:
"Lord Zhou, please inform me before going to court tomorrow. I want to find out who instigated this slave to kill the people in Prince Yu's palace."
Xiao Zhuzi looked at Master Zhou with disdain, "If you arrest me today, you will nod and bow down and let me go tomorrow. Therefore, I advise you to be polite to me."
Seeing that he was so rude, a guard next to Zhou Junliang took two steps forward, slapped him twice on the mouth, and said sternly:
"Speak politely in front of Master Zhou. If you dare to call yourself me, you don't want to live anymore."
Xiaozhu spat out the blood that spilled from the corner of his mouth, looked at the person who beat him with half-squinted eyes, and said word by word: "You dare to hit me, tomorrow I will ask you to kneel down and beg for mercy, do you believe it?"
"Pah! Pah!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man raised his palm again and slapped him twice.
"I don't believe it. You paid for murder and dared to utter arrogant words. Hitting you in the mouth is a minor offense."
Seeing this, Zhou Junliang shouted loudly:
"Captain Wang, don't talk nonsense with him, take him back."
After taking the order, Captain Wang commanded the officials escorting the two men to turn around and go to the government office.
Zhou Junliang turned around again and cupped his fists at Luo Lan:
"Princess Yu, please come to the government office on time tomorrow at 10:00, and Mr. Yu will personally review the case."
Luo Lan hurriedly clasped his fists in return,
"Thank you, Master Zhou. I will be there on time tomorrow."
After Master Zhou nodded to her, he turned and left, disappearing into the night.
The dark night returned to calm again, Luo Lan said to Ah Hou and others around him:
"It's late at night. Go back and rest early. Tomorrow morning, go to the government office. I want to see how this little pillar arranges this matter."
