Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Chapter 73
Yin Yu looked at the man in front of him, his face filled with anger. He sneered and said to Sun Qi, "Sun Qi, beat him up and tie him up. We'll talk tomorrow!"
When daybreak comes, he will give Xie Ling a big gift.
Thinking of this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face. He turned to Xiao Chengzi and said, "Xiao Chengzi, keep an eye on him. If he gets lost, you'll be the one missing tomorrow!"
After saying that, he walked towards the bed.
When Sun Qi heard what Yinyou said, he handcuffed the man's hands behind his back and took him outside. After a while, a sound of ghosts howling was heard.
Xiao Chengzi covered Yinyou with a quilt, turned around and walked outside.
After he got out, he looked at the ragged man in front of him and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? How dare you do such a thing? Who ordered you to assassinate the Fifteenth Prince?!"
Xiao Chengzi was trained by Yinyu himself and knows Yinyu very well. Since he asked him to watch someone, it means that there will be big moves tomorrow.
His master didn't tell him what this big move was specifically, but that didn't mean he couldn't interrogate him and see if he could find out anything.
As for this person’s true purpose, what does it matter whether we know it or not?
Thinking of this, the man shielded his face with his hands, trembling all over as he looked at Sun Qi, sobbing, "My father is Xie Lin. Please spare me. He forced me to come. If I didn't come, he would break my legs."
As he spoke, he looked up at Little Orange and said a little aggrievedly, "No one has ever said I'm a ghost, and you actually thought I was one?!"
As soon as he said this, he started to sob. The bruises on his face, the makeup smudged by tears, and the clothes he was wearing immediately made it look like a real ghost crying.
Xiao Chengzi felt a headache when he heard what he said. He yelled at the man, "Shut up! If you dare to wake up my master, I'll sew your mouth shut!"
Apparently, Xiaochengzi's threat was very effective, and the crying stopped at that moment.
Yinyou listened to the crying sounds outside gradually fading away and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, he opened his eyes and looked at the green curtains above his head. What happened yesterday immediately came to his mind.
He shouted to Xiao Chengzi beside him, "Xiao Chengzi, ask Sun Qi to bring the guy from yesterday over here. I have something to ask him."
Xiao Chengzi saluted Yinyou and said, "Master, Xue San has already reported that the man who came here yesterday was Xie Lin's third son, Xie Zhu. His mother was Xie Lin's first wife. After giving birth to Xie Lin, she became ill and died of illness when Xie Zhu was thirteen."
"Xie Lin married his current wife, his former concubine, as his second wife, and changed the two sons born to this second wife into legitimate sons. Xie Zhu then became the third son."
"Three years ago, when Xie Zhu was sixteen, his stepmother was looking for a suitable woman for him, but suddenly news came out that Xie Zhu liked men."
"So much so that his marriage has been delayed until now."
At this point, Sun Qi came in from outside, holding Xie Zhu. After seeing the mess on Xie Zhu's face, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Give him a basin of water and let him wash his face."
As he said this, he looked Xie Zhu up and down.
Xie Zhu knelt on the ground, trembling with fear. He took the handkerchief handed to him by Xiao Chengzi with some difficulty, and wiped the dirty makeup on his face with trembling fingers.
Yin Yu watched his movements and whispered, "Xie Zhu, do you want revenge?"
Xie Zhu's hand movements suddenly paused, and he raised his eyes to look at Yinwei. The timidity in his eyes disappeared instantly, and he lowered his head and wiped his face again for a long time.
Yinyu watched Xie Zhu's actions and chuckled at him, saying, "The rumors of your back being broken, and your mother's death, were all caused by Xie Lin and his stepmother, right? They didn't want you to get married, nor did they want you to have a family outside the family. They couldn't bear to let you have a good one, and they were afraid that others would say they treated you badly."
"I thought of a way. I said that since you like men, I don't need to find you a wife. I'm afraid that it will delay the daughter of a good family. If you want to continue the family line, you can spend money to buy someone you like. It doesn't matter who is suitable."
"When the time comes, all the dowry your mother leaves behind will belong to Xie Lin."
When Xie Zhu heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Yinyou. His pupils shrank slightly, and then he looked down at the ground. The Fifteenth Prince was really a capable man. He could actually guess most of it.
Even if he could guess it, he couldn't help him.
Why should he help him?
Could it be that she really likes his face?
Or does he really like men?
Thinking of this, his heart trembled slightly, his lips were pressed into a straight line, and deep in his heart he was constantly struggling, weighing the pros and cons.
After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "What does the Fifteenth Prince want?"
Yin Yu looked at his fearless face and his mouth twitched slightly. He sat on the chair and asked him, "What are you thinking? You don't think I'm attracted to you, do you?!"
Xie Zhu listened to Yinyou's words, lowered his head and looked at the ground, saying nothing, but his meaning was very clear.
Yin Yu was so angry at Xie Zhu's action that he laughed. He said to Xiao Chengzi beside him, "Xiao Chengzi, give him the mirror and let him look at himself and see what he looks like now."
There were bruises all over her face, and her makeup was all smudged. Even if she wiped her face with a wet towel, it would be impossible to wipe it clean in one go.
With his awful appearance and the see-through outfit on, how desperate must he be to even fancy something like this?!
As soon as he thought of this, he cursed in his heart. He was actually led astray by Xie Zhu at this moment.
He never said he liked men, right?!
After hearing what Yinyu said, Xiao Chengzi immediately took out the mirror he had prepared and placed it in front of Xie Zhu. He said with a smile, "Master Xie, you should first look in the mirror and see what you look like."
Xie Zhu reached out to take the mirror with confusion. The moment he saw himself in the bronze mirror, his breathing paused slightly. Then he looked at Yinwei embarrassedly, and his face suddenly twisted like a magic trick.
After a long while, he kowtowed to Yinyu and said, "I wonder what the Fifteenth Prince wants me to do?"
At this moment, he truly understood that what the Fifteenth Prince said was meant to take advantage of him.
It doesn't matter whether he is used or not, as long as he can bring down his father and avenge his mother, that's enough.
Besides, wasn't he using him? His current situation was already at its lowest point, and even if he tried harder, he wouldn't be able to break free. Now that the Fifteenth Prince had taken the initiative to speak, wasn't that the key to breaking the deadlock?
Thinking of this, he looked up at Yinyou.
Yinyu glanced at Xie Zhu, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said to him, "Your father touched my gold. I want you to help me get it back. The best way is to get the account book. Then it will be easier for me to collect the debt."
If there is no account book, then make one. It is best to make more so that you can ask Xie Ling for more gold.
Xie Zhu listened to his words, then suddenly raised his head to look at Yinyu and asked him, "Does the Fifteenth Prince know that I am also investigating this matter?"
He had noticed something wrong with the accounts before. His mother had left a lot of dowry, but she hadn't left enough money for Xie Ling to squander.
The family's expenses, big and small, exceed their expectations every day.
And his mother's death was really strange. He couldn't understand how someone who was in good health the day before could suddenly become worse and eventually lose his life.
Now he just needs to throw out his chips and the Fifteenth Prince will help him.
Yinyu saw Xie Zhu's thoughts and chuckled. He placed the teacup on the table and said to him, "Xie Zhu, I understand your thoughts. You want to use my identity to investigate this matter, and you want to use me to deal with your father and your stepmother."
"That doesn't matter. If you help me find out where my gold went, I'll let you use my identity. I don't mind you using my power to bully your father, your stepmother, or even your two brothers. How about that?"
He had been with Kangxi for such a long time, and what he learned most was how to read people's expressions and guess what they were thinking.
When the system was in place, he found it very difficult. At least he sometimes couldn't guess what Kangxi was thinking, and the thoughts and actions of his brothers were also difficult to understand.
But after he left the system and came out, everyone outside was smart and could tell what he was thinking at a glance.
Just like Xie Ling, the blatant flattery was right in front of him, wanting to give him a daughter, wanting to improve his status, and wanting to prevent him from discovering that he had stolen his gold mine.
Just like Xie Zhu, he wanted revenge, and no matter how well he concealed it, the desire for revenge was still written on his face.
Xie Zhu's breathing became a little rapid as he listened to Yinyou's words. He thought he had concealed it well, but the Fifteenth Prince still saw it clearly.
The Fifteenth Prince is clearly a young man of sixteen or seventeen years old. How can you see through his thoughts?
Thinking of this, he said to Yinyu, "Okay, I will help the Fifteenth Prince investigate the matter as soon as possible. Please give me ten days."
Yin Yu looked towards Xie Zhu, and the smile on his face faded. He said in a deep voice, "Three days, you only have three days. If you can't find the account book after three days, the cooperation will be cancelled. I will use my own methods to find what I want."
When Xie Zhu heard this, he nodded to Yinyou.
Seeing that he agreed, Yinyu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, since you agreed, you can set off now."
"As for your father, just tell the truth yourself."
He paused slightly, a hint of coldness flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he said to him: "If anyone else sends it over here, just chop it off!"
If Xie Zhu can't even solve such a small problem, then there is no need to cooperate. It would be a waste of his brain cells to cooperate with such a fool.
Xie Zhu got up from the ground and said to Yinyu, "Yes."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked outside.
After he walked away, Little Orange asked in confusion: "Master, why are you looking for him? He may not be able to help us."
Yin Yu raised his hand and knocked him on the head, with a faint smile in his eyes: "Silly! Xie Zhu's actions can't be hidden from Xie Lin, and I just want Xie Lin to know. I knew from the beginning that he touched my gold mine."
"I also asked his son to investigate him and make him more cautious and not spend money recklessly, so as to preserve my gold mine."
Having said this, he paused slightly, stood up from his chair, put his hands behind his back, looked at Xie Zhu's back and said, "I have to make Xie Lin mess around and keep an eye on Xie Zhu and our movements. Only then will it be easier for Xue San and the others to find out information about Fifth Brother and the others."
