While he was talking, Wang Wenzuo's guards had surrounded him. Wang Wenzuo helped the maid up and asked, "Where is your mistress? Tell me quickly!" The maid opened her mouth, but there was only a gasp, and she could only use her eyes. Looking towards a two-story building on the right, Wang Wenzuo shouted quickly: "Come here, go and search that room, the Crown Princess is inside!"

"Here!" the guards responded in unison and rushed towards the small building. Wang Wenzuo said to Yang Sijian on the side: "I didn't expect that there would be gangsters who dared to enter the residence of Miss Guifu and hijack it. It is really daring. Mr. Yang, please Don’t worry, I will definitely tell the truth to His Majesty the Crown Prince when I get back next time, and catch all the thieves without letting anyone slip through the net!”

"This -!" Yang Sijian's face was pale, as if he were dead, and he was stammering but speechless. Seeing this, Wang Wenzuo thought that the other party was worried about the safety of his daughter, so he sang "Hey" to him, and stayed in the remaining few rooms. A guard ran towards the small building. Before he entered the door, he heard a man's angry shout and a woman's exclamation coming from above. He was overjoyed and shouted quickly: "Be careful, don't hurt the Crown Princess!" He took three steps and two steps at a time, rushing up to the second step. Lou was stunned for a moment.

"Duke Zhou? Why is it you?"

Wang Wenzuo opened his mouth wide and saw Wu Minzhi standing by the window, holding a horn bow in one hand and a saber in the other, with a cold expression. He was only wearing a white coat and was surrounded by four or five guards: "Wang Wenzuo, what do you want to do? ?”

"Isn't this the residence of the Yang family's daughter? Why are you here?" =

"Nonsense!" Wu Minzhi snorted coldly: "I drank at the banquet tonight, and Yang Sijian arranged for me to rest in this small building. The person who just woke you up rushed in inexplicably. Open your eyes and take a good look. How does this look like your daughter’s home?”

Wang Wenzuo looked at the furnishings in the room. Sure enough, as Wu Minzhi said, although the furnishings in the room were exquisite, they were not a boudoir for a lady, but rather a guest room for distinguished guests to rest temporarily. He looked at the horned bow in Wu Minzhi's hand and asked, "Why did Lord Zhou Guogong have a bow in his hand just after he woke up? Also, was it you who shot the maid below to death?"

"Yes, I was the one who shot him to death!" Wu Minzhi raised his head arrogantly: "But so what, he is just a slave. If he is shot to death, he is shot to death. I will talk to Yang Sijian, could it be that Wang The general wants to seek justice for her?"

Wang Wenzuo didn't say anything. Although according to the "Tang Law", masters who kill slaves must be punished by law, there are many restrictions. Moreover, with Wu Minzhi's official status, Yang Sijian would not bother to report him if he killed a slave.

"This slave belongs to Mr. Yang, so naturally it is not my turn to come down here to uphold justice!" Wang Wenzuo said coldly: "But she is the personal maid of the future Crown Princess. I can ignore her, but I cannot ignore the future Crown Princess's safety. ?”

"Joke!" Wu Minzhi sneered: "I shot a slave girl, and I didn't hurt the master. What do you care about me?"

Wang Wenzuo was about to answer when he heard a sound coming from behind the screen. There is someone behind the screen! Wu Minzhi's expression changed greatly. Before he could do anything, Li Bo rushed to the screen and pushed it down. Behind the screen stood a girl in Chinese clothes, with messy rings and disheveled clothes. She was Yang Sijian's daughter, the future Crown Princess Yang Yueniang.

"You shouldn't be here," Wang Wenzuo said with a gloomy face, "There shouldn't be anyone here."

The girl looked at Wang Wenzuo and then at Wu Minzhi, "No!" she said. The words were stuck in his throat and all that came out was the faintest whisper.

But Wang Wenzuo still heard it, and he shook his head: "What an unlucky night, I really shouldn't have come back!"

"No," Yang Yueniang found her voice and spoke louder. "It's not what I thought!" She rushed towards the window, but Li Bo's movements were surprisingly fast. He quickly grabbed the hem of the girl's clothes and dragged her to the ground. Wu Minzhi wanted to go over, but he heard Wang Wenzuo shout: "Come here, take this guy down for me!"

"Wang Wenzuo, you are so brave!" Wu Minzhi waved his saber angrily and tried to resist, but Wang Wenzuo's face was as ice-like and his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a dead man. Soon, Wu Minzhi's saber was knocked to the ground. Both of his arms were twisted backwards, his knees were kicked hard, his vest was held up with his knees, and he was pinned to the ground with large straps, unable to move.

"Wang Wenzuo, let me go quickly, the situation is not what you imagined!" Wu Minzhi shouted.

"Daughter, Yueniang, Yueniang, are you okay!" Yang Sijian finally came upstairs. He staggered and rushed to his daughter's side: "What is going on?"

"Duke Zhou is bullying me!" Yang Yueniang buried her head and cried.

Yang Sijian looked at his crying daughter, then at Wu Minzhi, stamped his feet and said, "How could this happen!"

Wang Wenzuo had completely calmed down at this time. He looked at Yang Yueniang who was burying her head in tears, and then at Wu Minzhi who was pinned to the ground. He thought to himself that the truth may not be as simple as it seems, but in any case, this woman must be It is impossible to be a princess. The most important thing right now is to control the problem before the impact expands, otherwise the royal family will be completely embarrassed.

"Mr. Yang, talk here!" Wang Wenzuo took Yang Sijian aside and asked, "Where is this place? Is it a guest room in your mansion or your daughter's boudoir!"

Yang Sijian's face was full of pain and shame, and he lowered his head: "This is your guest room. I was supposed to let Wu Minzhi rest and sober up tonight, but I didn't expect that--"

"Okay, let's not talk about that now!" Wang Wenzuo nodded. At this time, he already understood seven or eight points. Compared with Yang Yueniang's tearful accusation, Wu Minzhi's explanation is probably closer to the truth: Since Wu Minzhi is already at the banquet He drank a lot of meat and vegetables, and the scene was the place where the Yang Mansion arranged for him to rest and sober up. Then Yang Yueliang couldn't be as innocent as she said - otherwise, how could she, a future princess, appear in other men's bedrooms so late? inside? There is no way to explain this at all. Combined with the warm look that the woman cast towards Wu Minzhi at the banquet just now, Wang Wenzuo estimates that the active party in this matter is probably a woman. Otherwise, Wu Minzhi was besieged by women at the banquet and drank wine. In such a drunken state, how could he have time to hook up with the Yang family's daughter who was seven or eight tables away? Thinking of this, Wang Wenzuo couldn't help but sincerely feel sorry for Wu Minzhi.

"Damn, he was so handsome that he was prostituted for nothing. After the prostitution, he turned against him and even put a bucket of shit on his head. Although this Wu Minzhi is not a good person, his retribution in this world must have come too soon, right? "

"Then what are Mr. Yang planning to do?" Wang Wenzuo asked.

"What should I do?" Yang Sijian shook his head in pain: "My family is unfortunate, and I really don't know what to do!"

"Mr. Yang, from what I can see, you are in a critical situation right now. If you don't handle it properly, I'm afraid you will suffer the disaster of annihilation!"

"The disaster of annihilation?" Yang Sijian raised his head in surprise: "Where do you start talking about this?"

"Mr. Yang, haven't you figured it out yet?" Wang Wenzuo sneered: "Anyway, this Wu Minzhi is also the prince of the dynasty and the nephew of Her Majesty the Queen. He must be handed over at dawn. And he is He has a mouth and can talk. Think about it, how drunk he was at the banquet tonight but in full view of everyone, and he didn’t leave his residence at all tonight. How do you explain the matter of Yueniang? In the end, Queen Does Your Majesty think that your unmarried daughter-in-law is unruly and has harmed your own nephew?"

"This -" Yang Sijian trembled when he heard this. If the number one unlucky person tonight is Wu Minzhi, then the number two unlucky person is probably Yang Sijian. It is clear that his daughter has been chosen by the future Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to marry into the Tian family, and the wealth and splendor of his family are beckoning to him. So I spent my own money to invite a lot of guests to my house to eat and drink. In the blink of an eye, it became a scandal. The daughter was caught having an affair with another man and was caught by the prince's cronies. Needless to say, the marriage was definitely ruined. It would also become the laughing stock of everyone, bringing the emperor, queen and prince to justice. They were all deeply offended. Not to mention the future of the family was dark, and it would not be surprising to find a reason to destroy the entire family one day.

"So, we can't wait until dawn to talk about this matter!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Otherwise, as long as Zhou Guogong insists that he did not go out tonight, this fault will be a big deal. At most, he will be scolded several times by Her Majesty the Queen. Well, take a few whips. After all, your daughter’s legs are on her body, right?”

"Then, what should I do?" Yang Sijian asked.

Wang Wenzuo smiled: "Mr. Yang, this is your family's business. How can I, an outsider, dare to say anything? It's up to you to decide for yourself!" After that, he called the guards, gave two orders, and took his people with him. He withdrew and waited quietly outside the hospital.

"My lord!" Li Bo whispered, "Is it okay to just leave it alone?"

"This is a family matter, so it's better not to interfere too much!" Wang Wenzuo replied slowly: "Otherwise, don't complain if you get splashed all over your face by sparks!"

"Yes!" Li Bo's face straightened, he lowered his head and said, "I understand, little man!"

After about half a meal, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Wang Wenzuo saw Yang Sijian coming out with an expressionless face, like a lifeless puppet.

"Mr. Yang, have everything been settled?"

"It's all done!" Yang Sijian replied numbly: "Wu Minzhi acted so boldly that he broke into my daughter's residence at night, shot and killed my maid Huan'er, and then forced her to rape. My daughter was humiliated and committed suicide by hanging from a beam. "

"Is there such a thing?" Wang Wenzuo's face changed greatly: "This guy is really worse than a beast, I will definitely report it to the East Palace!"

"Thank you, General Wang!" Yang Sijian sighed: "I have gone through such a big change and am exhausted, so I won't send General Wang off!"

"What about Wu Minzhi?" Wang Wenzuo asked: "Please give me an explanation, Mr. Yang, so that I can give Dong Palace a response!"

"I have been killed by the old man!" Yang Sijian pulled out a bloody dagger from his sleeve: "The old man is so angry that he will apologize to the court and Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow!"

After leaving the Yang Mansion, Li Bo finally lost his temper and asked Wang Wenzuo: "My lord, did you just go out to make that old man take action? How do you know that he will definitely kill Wu Minzhi?"

"It's very simple!" Wang Wenzuo shook the reins: "Only dead people cannot speak. This incident has disgraced the prince. If the prince's face is disgraced, it will hurt the emperor and the queen's face. Then someone will have to pay the price for it. If what happened tonight happened in the Yang family's daughter's boudoir, then Yang Sijian didn't have to worry. He could have tied up Wu Minzhi and dragged him to report tomorrow morning, because this was Yang Sijian forcing the future crown princess to rape, and the Yang family was a victim; now The last thing happened was Wu Minzhi's residence, so this was not Wu Minzhi's forced rape, but an affair, or even an affair of the crown prince, and the Yang family was guilty of lax discipline. If Yang Sijian did not want to be punished, the only thing he could do The best way is to kill Wu Minzhi. Although this may also lead to punishment by the court and the queen, it is better than letting Wu Minzhi tell the truth and bear all the responsibilities himself!"

"What about the Yang family's daughter? Did she really commit suicide?" Li Bo asked.

"Daughter of the Yang family? I don't know about that!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "But even if he really committed suicide, it was probably his father who forced him to commit suicide. After all, women are born extroverts. Since the woman did not care about her family and family for her love, If she ignored the prince and her own identity and went to have a private meeting with Wu Minzhi, it would be difficult to guarantee that she would not tell the truth in the future and clear Wu Minzhi's grievances. That would be the disaster of destroying the family, and Yang Sijian could not afford this. risk!"

"So that's it!" Li Bo sighed and shook his head: "Although I say so, Yang Sijian's heart is so cruel! He just wanted to kill Wu Minzhi as a repayment. He could even force his own flesh and blood to death. Such a heart is too cruel. It’s poisonous!”

"Yes!" Wang Wenzuo sighed: "But maybe Yang Sijian feels that his daughter's reputation has been ruined. Although she is still alive, she might as well die tonight and end up clean!"

When Li Bo heard this, he shook his head and stopped talking. Wang Wenzuo had only told half of the truth. Another possibility is that Yang Sijian already hated his daughter. After all, the whole thing belonged to Yueniang from beginning to end. As long as she didn't take the initiative to find Wu Minzhi, nothing would have happened, and Yang Sijian could comfortably become the emperor's father-in-law, and the family would prosper. And all of this is ruined now. Even if it is not to stop her mouth, but just to vent his anger, he will put his daughter to death.

Wang Wenzuo and his party came to Yanxi Gate, called for the palace gate to be opened, rushed to the East Palace, and finally persuaded the eunuch on duty to wake up the prince.

"Sanlang, is there anything important?" The prince yawned and walked into the banquet hall: "Is it a matter of carrying the seal? In fact, you just need to tell the Yang family. There were many people and things at work that night, and it might take a long time to find it. A day or two!”

"Your seal has been found. I have brought it along with the goldfish bag. Please check it, Your Highness!" Wang Wenzuo knelt on his knees, raised the goldfish bag above his head, and handed it to the palace maid on the side.

Are these chapters exciting? Routinely begging for votes, rewards, and subscriptions!

I just saw some book friends in the discussion forum saying how could Yang Yueniang, a lady from a wealthy family, be so stupid. I just want to say that there are idiots in any group of humans. Even smart people will do stupid things.
