Chapter 282 Caught the mastermind behind the scenes

Everyone looked at the servant on the ground in shock.

"Who are you? What do you want to do in our Zhou family?!" The third prince stood up and said fiercely.

The servant was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and shivered, "I don't know, I'm just passing by!"

Zhou Ruiyuan grabbed the back of his clothes, pulled him in front of him, pinched his neck and said coldly: "Passing by? I just saw him sneaking around outside your door."

The servant lowered his head, sweating profusely, and still argued: "Master, I was really just passing by. I was just looking at the movement in the yard, so I was curious to take a look. I didn't expect that I just stood on tiptoe to take a look. You just caught me here."

Seeing that he refused to speak, Zhou Ruiyuan let go of his hand, turned around and said to the two government officials who were following him: "Take this thief to the government office."

If he is taken to the Yamen, the punishment will definitely be inevitable.

The servant was so frightened that he knelt down and kowtowed: "Sir, I am just passing by and I have not violated any punishment. How could you just take me to the Yamen like this?"

He shouted loudly, hoping to be seen by the nearby villagers.

At this time, Wei Xun came out and said, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Ruiyuan looked up at him, showing doubts.

Wei Xun whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Zhou Ruiyuan waved his hand and ordered the officials: "Let him go."

The third prince and Aunt Zhou on the side said quickly: "Ruiyuan, are we just going to let him go?"

Zhou Ruiyuan winked at them intently, and then replied: "Yes."

The Third Prince and Aunt Zhou understood immediately and said nothing more.

After hearing Zhou Ruiyuan's order, the government officials released the servant.

Seeing that Zhou Ruiyuan survived the disaster, the servant ran away, fearing that Zhou Ruiyuan would regret it.

As soon as the servant left, Wei Xun immediately chased after him.

Aunt Zhou came up to Zhou Ruiyuan and asked, "What did Xiao Wei say to you just now?"

Zhou Ruiyuan replied: "He said that this person is a tough guy at first glance. He shouldn't be able to ask any questions even if he forces himself to do it. It's better to let him go first, and then follow him all the way to find the person behind the scenes."

Aunt Zhou suddenly realized, "That's it."

Du Wanchun on the side was silent. She raised her head slightly and looked at the direction Wei Xun and the others had just left, thoughtfully.

On the other side, Wei Xun followed the servant all the way to Cheng'an County.

The servant was still smart and did not go directly to the inn to find the princess. He walked around the city and found a ruined temple to rest. He went to the inn early the next morning.

Wei Xun was also a smart man and was not in a hurry. He patiently followed him until the next morning.

The princess in the inn had been waiting for the news. When she saw the servant coming, she asked happily: "How is it? Is that woman dead?"

The servant lowered his head, timid and afraid to reply.

The princess saw something was wrong and continued to ask: "Speak, what is going on?"

The servant then hesitantly said, "Princess, we went to poison and were discovered."

After hearing this, the princess raised her hand and slapped him in the face, "Idiot, even if you lay poison, you will be discovered."

The servant covered his red and swollen face, lowered his head and said: "Princess, we are very careful, but the chickens and ducks in the Zhou family's backyard are so powerful that they pecked all of us to death!"

The princess came to listen, raised her eyes and sneered: "Do you think I am a fool?"

After speaking, he raised his hand and slapped the servant again, "How many guards can't compare to a few chickens and ducks?"
