Chapter 95: Definitely Helping
The carriage of the Northern Prince's Palace came from the official road.
"Your Highness, Princess, there is a commoner girl in front..." Jingzhe saw this scene from afar and reported.
Jiang Rong lifted the carriage curtain and saw a commoner running away in a panic, one foot deep and one foot shallow. She ran towards the carriage, shouting loudly:
"Help!"
She was covered in wounds and blood, with four strong men chasing her.
In the mountain pavilion, Dong Xiqi's thin lips were slightly curved.
Jiang Rong, no matter whether you are truly kind or hypocritical, you can't just watch a poor woman being beaten to death in front of you.
The next moment...
Her pupils dilated.
…
Chu Jue was very anxious.
The deadline for closing the case was approaching, and he had not yet thought of a good solution.
As soon as he heard that the carriage from the Northern Prince's Palace would arrive today, he hurried outside the city to find Jiang Rong.
From afar, I saw a woman being chased by a strong man.
How could he just sit there and do nothing when he is the type of person who would draw his sword to help others when he sees injustice?
"Stop it!" Chu Jue jumped up from the horse's back, flipped in the air, landed in front of the woman, and kicked four strong men to the ground.
The accompanying captains rushed forward and captured the four strong men.
"Who are you? How dare you beat a girl in broad daylight? Do you have any respect for the law?" Chu Jue said angrily.
The four strong men saw that this group of people were all wearing official uniforms, and they were so scared that they stammered and rushed to explain:
"Please spare her! Her uncle sold her to our young master as his wife, and she ran away!"
"Sir! Their family has received the betrothal money..."
The young master of a small landlord's family in the village is a fool.
In order to continue the family tradition, his family bought several girls from the village...
Chu Jue frowned as he listened, "There is actually such a heartless and ungrateful elder who sells his niece to a fool..."
Chu Jue turned around and looked at the peasant girl.
Her body was covered with blood marks from being beaten with sticks...
It can't stand steadily and is about to fall.
Dong'er kept holding on for a breath.
She must meet the Northern Prince's Consort...
Only if they met that woman and were kept by her would there be a chance for him and his brother to survive.
But when she saw a kind-hearted official appearing out of nowhere and saving her, she didn't know how to explain. She was so frightened that her eyes turned black and she fainted.
"Boss, this girl fainted..." The subordinate approached and checked the report:
"She is covered in wounds, perhaps due to a serious injury..."
Chu Jue couldn't bear it and said, "Send her to me first and find a doctor to treat her."
As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the four strong men:
"Take these four away and interrogate them thoroughly. Then check the family of this woman and verify the situation."
"Yes." The subordinate obeyed the order.
Finish arranging this matter.
Chu Jue then walked towards the carriage of the Northern Prince's Palace.
…
A pavilion on the distant mountain peak.
Dong Xiqi slammed the telescope in his hand onto the table...
Snap——
Glass is fragile.
Exploding cracks.
"Damn it——" Dong Xiqi turned pale with anger, her heart disease became more serious, and she covered her chest in pain.
The maid quickly came forward holding a medicine bottle, "County Lady, please use the Ningxin Pills!"
Dong Xiqi took the medicine bottle and took a Ningxin Pill.
A long time passed.
The paleness of his face eased a little.
She never expected that the game she had planned so well would be ruined by Chu Jue!
It was a waste of her effort.
She knew that Jiang Rong would definitely check the background of this woman.
So everything is true...
The only thing that the world does not know is that Dong Xiqi chose her, promised to rescue her from the idiot landlord's house, and detained her brother as a hostage. Under coercion and inducement, Dong'er worked for her.
Dong Xiqi calmed down, his eyes were cold:
"Since she was saved by Chu Jue, then she should stay with Chu Jue. It's better than nothing. This Chu Jue has a special relationship with Jiang Rong... Maybe we can get some information from him. Find a chance to pass the message to her."
"Yes." The maid obeyed.
Dong Xiqi could only comfort herself. Chu Jue had helped Jiang Rong with several cases, so they must have a close relationship...
Staying with Chu Jue is not useless.
She is not in vain...
But Dong Xiqi became angrier the more he thought about it, and his face gradually turned pale.
The frightened maid quickly handed her the medicine bottle again.
…
Jiang Rong's eyes fell on the woman who was being carried away.
She felt that the appearance of this woman was somewhat coincidental. Jiang Rong disbelieved in coincidences the most, because she was quite good at creating coincidences.
However, once the person falls into the hands of Mingxin Division, he will be investigated thoroughly.
If there is a problem, Chu Jue should be able to find it out. If he can't find it out...
It's okay.
Anyway, no one stayed in the Northern Prince's Palace.
If they were really coming for the Northern Prince's Palace, there wouldn't be any trouble.
"I wonder what Captain Chu wants to talk to us about?" Jiang Rong asked.
Chu Jue immediately explained the current progress of the case:
"Do you have any way to stop Chunyue Pavilion from opening?"
"No." Jiang Rong said.
Chu Jue sighed, "Okay, I know I was just daydreaming..."
"But there is a way that can prevent Chunyue Pavilion from accepting abducted women again." Jiang Rong slowly said the second half of the sentence.
…
The day Jiang Rong returned to Beijing.
The case of Ms. Zhang has been closed.
The madam of Chunyue Pavilion, seven managers and the thugs who assisted the evil were all sentenced to death. The remaining ordinary servants were acquitted, and the seal of Chunyue Pavilion was finally lifted, allowing it to reopen.
The news was passed back to the Princess's Mansion.
The scribe advised:
"After all, the Northern Palace has also put pressure on us, and the old concubine came forward in person. The Mingxin Division must give the Northern Palace some face, so it is not impossible to close the case in this way. If the steward is gone, we can recruit another one. It will be a great thing if Chunyue Pavilion can open soon..."
"If you close the shop for one more day, you will lose a lot of money."
Princess Anyang was still angry. "What's wrong with this old lady Xie? Jiang Rong is not her granddaughter. Why does she have to protect her so much?"
The scholar thought, although she was not his biological granddaughter, she was his biological granddaughter-in-law, and the one that the Prince of the Northern King loved.
It's normal for the elderly to love the people in their home as well.
He still complained in his heart as usual, but said respectfully on the surface:
"Indeed, this old concubine is really meddling in other people's business..."
"Why hasn't the medicine arrived yet? They said it would be delivered within three days. It's already the fifth day. How dare they delay? Do they want to die?" Princess Anyang became even angrier when she thought of Xia Shijiao's elixir.
The scholar said, "Your flowers are so delicate that they can only be pulled by people, not by horses. A horse-drawn carriage can indeed arrive within three days... but people are not as fast as horses, so it will probably take five or six days, which is normal... I sent someone to pick them up yesterday..."
If you want to get there within three days, you need to travel day and night.
"When they arrive, they will be punished with fifty lashes of the cane!" Princess Anyang said angrily.
"yes!"
At this moment, a maid came forward to report: "Your Highness, something happened! Sun Dagui is dead, and Xia Shijiaodan is missing!"
