Chapter 65 Is he a mysterious master?

The Marquis's Mansion is divided into two parts. One part is the two hundred generals and their families, who live on a farm in the suburbs. They are the life-saving team of every generation of Marquis Pingxi.

Of course, maintaining soldiers is the most expensive thing. They need training, equipment, and food, which costs money like water.

The other part was the servants of the Marquis' Mansion, a total of 518 people, including 231 male servants, all of whom were called over.

The Mingjing Division took the list and checked each person one by one. They were divided into several groups and checked very quickly.

After checking their heights and shoes, there are nine suspects who meet the criteria and further investigation is needed.

Guyu stared at the list and marked a few people with a red pen, "Three people are missing."

The housekeeper explained carefully, "Zhao San and Li Si asked for leave early in the morning and left the house together. Chen Dong had a stomach upset and kept going to the toilet, so he couldn't come."

Guyu frowned and said, "Go and bring Chen Dong here."

Chen Dong was quickly carried over, yes, like an eagle catching a chick.

He was an ordinary-looking man with a frightened look on his face, and he looked like a coward.

Yun Zheng suddenly sat up straight. It was him!

Li Wuyang looked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?"

"Yes." Yun Zheng had seen this man in her previous life. He followed the court doctor, quiet as an invisible man, but the look in his eyes when he looked at her was full of indifference, a condescending indifference.

He is completely different from the cowardly person he is now. Haha, he is so good at disguising himself.

"Chen Dong, what is your relationship with the court doctor?"

Chen Dong covered his lower abdomen with his hands, half-squatting on the ground, looking painful as he wanted to defecate but was forcing himself to hold it back. There was a foul smell of toilet on his body.

He didn't dare to look up and said cautiously, "That's my adoptive father."

Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows. No wonder he followed the court doctor.

However, it is very interesting that the court doctor did not hesitate to hide the truth from the palace for Ye Yichen.

"What position does he hold?"

The chief steward replied with trepidation, "He's the warehouse manager. He's quiet, honest, and responsible."

Guyu had already started taking notes. "When did you come to the Pingxi Marquis's Mansion with the palace doctor?"

"Nine years ago."

"You are 28 years old, not young anymore, why haven't you got married yet?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Dong trembled all over, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was very nervous.

The court doctor quickly jumped out to explain, "This child was abused by his stepmother when he was young, so he is afraid of women. It's quite pitiful."

Li Wuyang's eyes flashed with mockery. He glanced at the unconscious Ye Yizhen, then turned to look at Aunt An. "Thirty strokes of the cane, how many strokes did you get?"

Aunt An replied tremblingly, "Three boards."

Seeing Jiu Qian Sui remained silent, Aunt An suddenly understood, "Come here, execute the sentence."

The palace guards hurried forward to pull Ye Yichen away. Jiang Wenzhou didn't expect that the Ninth Prince would be so cruel that he would not even let go of the injured and unconscious people.

"Your Majesty, please spare her life, considering that God has mercy on her."

Li Wuyang turned a deaf ear and looked extremely indifferent.

On one hand, the execution was to continue, while on the other hand, Ye Yichen was to be protected. During the argument between the two sides, Ye Yichen woke up slowly.

Her face was pale, she covered her bandaged wound and said weakly, "Prince, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I will never compete with Yun Zheng for a husband again, if she wants it, give it to her."

Her tears rolled down, looking pitiful, sad and sorrowful.

Jiang Wenzhou was reminded and looked at Yun Zheng eagerly, like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood.

"Yun Zheng, if you help plead for her, the three of us will live a good life from now on. Everything she has, you will have too."

Yun Zheng raised her eyebrows and looked at Li Wuyang, "Your Highness."

A trace of inexplicable disappointment flashed through Li Wuyang's heart.

Yun Zheng held up the last piece of Ruyi Cake and said, "This dessert is really delicious. Can you bring me another one next time?"

It is impossible to plead for them in this life or the next.

The disappointment in Li Wuyang's heart disappeared, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "Okay."

"Why are you still standing?"

"Go ahead." Aunt An gave the order, and Ye Yichen was pressed to the ground and beaten with a stick, again and again. Her screams echoed throughout the place, scaring the servants.

Jiang Wenzhou wanted to step forward to save them, but was stopped by Pingxi Hou, "If you dare to take a step forward, I will sever our father-son relationship."

Jiang Wenzhou's face changed drastically and he hesitated.

Yun Zheng's lips curled up slightly. The so-called love as deep as the sea is just like this.

For men, power and future are the most important things.

She looked at Chen Dong who was still timid and didn't dare to raise his head. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart, pretend, keep pretending.

"Your Highness, Ye Yizhen has committed crimes repeatedly and refuses to mend his ways. Doesn't she deserve to die?"

Li Wuyang looked at her deeply. Was he trying to stir up trouble again? "Yeah."

Yun Zheng asked with a smile, "Do you think she can survive thirty lashes?"

Li Wuyang looked at Chen Dong calmly, "No, she is weak and injured. She will die in twenty at most."

Chen Dong's body was motionless and unresponsive.

"Eighteen, nineteen..." The counting sounded like a magic spell, one after another, gripping the heart.

Ye Yizhen was beaten to a bloody pulp and gradually became motionless, with her head tilted to one side.

Guyu stepped forward and sniffed, "Master, I only have one breath left. Do you still want to fight?"

The personal maid rushed over and kowtowed repeatedly, "Stop hitting me, it will really kill me. Our young lady is just a weak woman. She just made a small mistake and doesn't deserve to die. Please forgive her, Nine Thousand Years Old Man."

Li Wuyang didn't even blink, "Keep fighting."

At this moment, something unexpected happened. A black shadow holding a sharp blade pounced towards Yun Zheng.

"careful."

Yun Zheng looked at the cold blade stabbing at her, her expression changed slightly. It was her again! Was she a pushover?

Zi Yan, who was well prepared, grabbed Yun Zheng and rushed towards Jiu Qian Sui. The guards around Li Wuyang immediately made way for her, and Yun Zheng hid safely beside him.

Guyu and a group of Mingjingsi masters attacked together to intercept the black shadow, fighting back and forth with murderous intent.

Yun Zheng touched her chest and her heart was beating very fast.

Sure enough, there was something wrong with Chen Dong. He was agile and had great martial arts skills, but he was hiding quietly in the storeroom of the Marquis' Mansion.

Li Wuyang's eyes were as clear as a stick. "I didn't expect that there was such a hidden dragon in the Marquis of Pingxi's mansion, and there was also such a martial arts master hidden."

Marquis Pingxi's face turned pale as he stared at the figure jumping in the air. As the master of the marquis's mansion, he didn't even know there was such a master.

"Nine Thousand Years Old, I really don't know."

Li Wuyang sneered, "I just don't know whether the emperor believes it or not."

A chill ran down Marquis Pingxi's back. He knew best how suspicious the emperor was.

After a few rounds, Chen Dong showed signs of defeat, exposed a flaw, turned around and ran away.

"He's trying to run, stop him!"

A large net came down and accurately trapped Chen Dong. No matter how he struggled, it was useless as the net became tighter and tighter.

Chen Dong was captured accidentally, and Guyu directly cut his tendons in his hands and feet, and the mysterious master's martial arts skills were ruined.

Chen Dong lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his hair wet with sweat, but he was extremely tough and didn't say a word.

Pingxi Hou was shocked and angry, and asked loudly, "Chen Dong, tell me, who are you?"
