Chapter 108 The boomerang will stab you one day
Xiao Ruixuan nodded to show that he understood, "You go down first. When this matter is over, let your son come to this prince."
After hearing this, Steward Lu bowed, saluted, and left with his head lowered.
Xiao Ruixuan returned to the hall and told Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi everything he had learned from Butler Lu.
"Now that we know the place, let's go to Furong Hutong this afternoon. This time we can bring Miaokong and Zhuoyang with us."
They had lunch at the Prince of Changping's mansion. The Prince of Changping also came out to have lunch with them without saying a word.
Shen Shixu and Xiao Jinyi didn't care. After eating, they took Xiao Ruixuan and left.
Prince Changping looked at Xiao Ruixuan who left with them, with a cold look in his eyes. That look was not like the look a father would give to his son, but more like the look he would give to an enemy.
Fortunately, Xiao Ruixuan kept walking forward and did not notice his look, but even if he had noticed it, he would not have felt any emotion.
He was really disappointed with this father.
Shen Shixu and his friends went back to call Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang, and then went to pick up Jiang Bin as well. The group divided into two groups and got on two carriages, swaying to Furong Hutong.
Before coming, Shen Shixu had already told them the characteristics of the place they were looking for. After Jiang Miaokong got off the carriage, he pulled Song Zhuoyang and ran into the alley ahead of them.
Jiang Bin watched the two of them run away in a flash, "They are running too fast, are they so light-footed because they have practiced Qinggong?"
When Jiang Bin said this, he looked at Xiao Jinyi. Among the remaining people, only Xiao Jinyi knew martial arts. Xiao Jinyi was speechless when he heard his question.
Isn't this pure nonsense? Qinggong is just the skill of the feet. If you can walk like an ordinary person, then why practice it?
Before Xiao Jinyi could retort, Xiao Ruixuan had already refuted it for him, "Brother Xiaobin, are you stupid? People who are good at Qinggong can fly over eaves and walls, which is almost the same as flying. Naturally, they can walk faster than us.
If I can see it, can’t Brother Xiaobin see it? You are so stupid, Brother Xiaobin. ”
After Jiang Bin asked the question, he realized how stupid the question was, but he couldn't take it back since he had already asked it.
Just when he was expecting to be taught a lesson by Xiao Jinyi, he didn't expect that before Xiao Jinyi even said anything, the little guy Xiao Ruixuan scolded him and laughed at himself for being stupid.
This made Jiang Bin very angry, so he went over and pinched his face and pulled it to the sides. Xiao Ruixuan felt pain on his face from being pulled, so he slapped his hands that were pinching his face.
While the two brothers were making a fuss, Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang ran out of the alley. Jiang Miaokong ran to Jiang Bin very proudly and said, "We have found the place, why haven't you gone in yet?"
Jiang Miaokong was disgusted when he saw Jiang Bin bullying a child. He rescued Xiao Ruixuan from Jiang Bin and protected him behind him.
"Second Brother, how can you bully a child?"
Jiang Bin said a little aggrievedly: "He was the one who scolded me first."
"Then you can't bully a child. The child is ignorant. Why are you arguing with him?"
After Jiang Miaokong finished talking about Jiang Bin, he continued, "Okay, we have found the person. Just like Master said, there is a big willow tree at the door.
I jumped onto the wall and took a look. There was indeed a woman living inside with a big mole on her mouth. She was definitely the person we were looking for. ”
When Shen Shixu heard that the person had been found, he interrupted them and said, "Stop playing, let's get down to business. When we're done, you can play around as you like."
Hearing this, several people let go of each other, looked at each other more embarrassedly, coughed, and followed Shen Shixu inside.
As soon as they entered the alley, they saw a big willow tree not far away. No wonder Jiang Miaokong and Song Zhuoyang found it so quickly.
In addition to the two people's fast pace, the distance between them was also quite close.
Shen Shixu walked forward and raised his hand to knock on the door knocker on the jujube wood door. Soon a round-faced girl came to open the door. The girl had a big mole on her mouth.
Xia He looked at Shen Shixu who was knocking on the door with a flash of surprise in her eyes. It was the first time she saw such a handsome person. Even her young lady's husband was not so handsome when he was young.
Before she could take a closer look, a figure blocked her view. Xia He was short and could only see the man's chest. When she looked up, she was met with a pair of cold eyes.
She was so cold that she didn't dare to look at them a second time. She looked elsewhere and noticed that there were other people behind them, all men.
Seeing such a group of people coming to her door, Xia He was very panicked, and her voice was shaking, "You, you, who are you? What do you want to see me for?"
Shen Shixu took out his token and said with a serious face: "We are from the Dali Temple. Why are we looking for you? I don't need to say more!"
When Xia He heard the word "Dali Temple", she panicked. She was just a servant. Why would the Dali Temple look for her for no reason? Unless that thing is exposed.
Shen Shixu deliberately didn’t make it clear in order to break through Xia He’s psychological defenses. Seeing that she was panicking, he put away the token in his hand and said to her, “Aren’t you going to invite us in?”
Upon hearing this, Xia He stepped aside, and Shen Shixu walked in first, followed by Xiao Jinyi, and others also walked in one after another.
Xia He saw everyone coming in, closed the door, wiped the tears from her face, turned around, came to Shen Shixu and the others, and knelt down directly.
"Sir, just ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know. I only ask that you leave me with an intact body."
Xia He is an honest person but his brain isn't very good. He is willing to confess everything just because he is scared.
This was also the reason why Liu Ru did not take her to the palace. She thought she was too stupid and would be a burden if she took her there, so she left her here to look after the old courtyard.
Little did she know that this action of hers became an important turning point that pushed her into the abyss.
"As long as you admit your mistakes with a good attitude, I promise to leave you with an intact body."
Hearing this, Xia He felt a little comforted, and she hoped that her body could be kept intact. She often heard the older generation say that if a body was incomplete when one died, one would be disabled in the next life, so she had a strong obsession with having an intact body.
This just gave Shen Shixu a breakthrough point, “This official asks you, where did your master Liu Ru get the chronic poison that she gave to the former Princess Hu Lanxin of Changping?
How was the medicine administered? And when did you start giving me the drugs? You must tell me everything.
If you conceal even the slightest bit, I will let you experience the punishment of the Dali Temple. I cannot guarantee that your body will be intact by then. ”
