Chapter 413 Chu Ming was imprisoned
The servant came forward tremblingly and explained the strange phenomenon that had just occurred.
Chu Ming, of course, didn't believe it. He snorted coldly, "This young master thinks you're just trying to be lazy. From now on, if you don't move all your things within a quarter of an hour, get out of the Chu family!"
Watching those people move again, he smiled with satisfaction.
Just as I was about to lower the car curtain, I saw several bags of medicinal herbs disappear out of thin air!
His mouth opened wide, and he felt a cold wind blowing past his ears, as if someone was staring at him.
Chu Ming turned around suddenly, only to see a pale face with disheveled hair, and immediately fainted.
The servant was also frightened. He closed and opened his eyes again and carefully lifted the curtain. There was no one else there except the young master.
He breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the carriage to check on the young master. As soon as he lowered the curtain, a terrified scream came from inside.
The loudness of the sound, especially the fear it conveyed, was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heart.
At this time, many rooms in the inn also had candles lit.
The innkeeper was anxious. If people found out that he had colluded with outsiders to steal the guests' money, he would be in trouble.
"Hurry up and take as much as you can!"
As he urged, a soldier happened to be patrolling nearby and asked, "Who is it?"
They dispersed in a hurry and even forgot about their own young master.
When Chu Ming woke up again, he was in the Yangzhou prefectural prison.
"Someone, where are the people?!"
The guard at the prison door scratched his ears and pretended not to hear.
"Sir!" The servant squatted beside him, his expression dispirited and his voice heavy: "It's useless, don't shout anymore."
Chu Ming then realized that there was someone else in the room: "Why are we here? What is going on?"
The servant was also confused, but when he looked up, Chu Ming took a step back in fright.
"Who are you!"
The servant immediately understood. Has his appearance also changed?
He wanted to cry but couldn't. "Sir, our faces have been tampered with. They are no longer what they used to be."
Chu Ming stepped forward tentatively: "Xiao Lingzi?"
The servant nodded slightly: "Sir, you look very different now than before."
Chu Ming immediately wiped his face without any makeup. Even though he didn't want to believe it, Xiao Lingzi's unfamiliar look made him suspicious.
Finally, he pursed his lips and looked between Xiao Lingzi's legs.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them really concealed what it meant to pee and look in the mirror!
"What's going on? This is not my face!" Chu Ming was terrified. He touched his cheeks and neck but found nothing unusual. He was in a mess.
The servant asked anxiously, "Sir, do you still remember the man you suddenly saw in the carriage?"
Chu Ming turned his head sharply towards the other person: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are no ghosts or gods in this world! Someone must be framing me. Where are the others? Have they all run away?"
Refers to the other guards brought in when stealing medicinal herbs.
Because what he did was not decent, Chu Ming came out late at night and directly called a group of people he knew from all walks of life.
But these people were not reliable at all. When they saw the officers and soldiers coming, they were scared away.
The servant shook his head cautiously: "I don't know."
"Stupid!" Chu Ming kicked him: "What else do you know?"
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Chu Ming came to the front of the cell and stuck his head out: "Come here, I am Chu Ming, call the Yangzhou prefect to me!"
The prison guards looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
"Just stay quiet. If you are the young master of the Chu family, then I am still the king of heaven!"
Don’t think that they have never seen the appearance of the young master of the Chu family. Anyone who works in the government office will know those powerful and wealthy people clearly.
Now the blame has fallen on them!
The bailiffs looked at each other. One of them was in a bad mood. He didn't get much silver today, so now he took out his anger on these two people.
"Lao Lu, don't move!" one of them advised, "The prefect just gave the order, be careful not to be discovered."
Lao Lu shook his arm off and said, "You're frightened out of your wits. Don't worry, judging by the clothes these two are wearing, you can tell they're not short of money. They must be merchants from outside the city. It's a good opportunity to rip them off!"
So, Chu Ming originally wanted to reveal his identity so that the prefect could rescue him, but he was beaten severely instead.
In the end, all the clothes on his body were stripped off.
The temperature in the prison was so low at night that Chu Ming shivered with cold. Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.
Not long after dawn, the yamen runners changed shifts.
Lao Lu hid his clothes and prepared to sell them outside for some silver.
The Chu family was also in chaos at this time. As the only son of the head of the Chu family, Chu Ming's disappearance caused quite a stir.
At least the side branches wanted to applaud and laugh, but they still pretended to be worried and fought.
Old Master Chu had a ferocious look on his face, and the atmosphere in the lobby was very depressing. No one dared to speak, and only the low sobs of Old Madam Chu could be heard.
"Stop crying. This is mourning. Your son hasn't gotten into trouble yet, but you are going to make him get into trouble!" Old Master Chu said impatiently.
The crying suddenly stopped, and Madam Chu's drooping brows were full of hatred. It was all the old man's fault. He made Ming'er do all the dangerous things. Now that he is better, she doesn't know if he is safe.
The sky outside was extremely gloomy and the temperature was much colder than before.
However, it was September, so charcoal fires were lit in the main hall and everyone put on cotton clothes.
Everyone noticed that the weather was abnormal, but they were not too sad. After all, it had been hot and cold in the past few days, and they thought that today's weather would only last for a while.
"Master, I found it!"
The housekeeper hurried over, holding the blue brocade robe that Chu Ming had worn last night. "I found this at a clothing store. I heard it was sold by a government official. I've already sent someone to arrest the official!"
