Chapter 286 This is really...
Xiao Tu looked at the furious old man, held her cheek and said slowly, "Why is Old Master Xu so angry? This lady has good intentions."
Taifu Xu was so angry that he was bent over and over, his face puffed up with anger. He pointed at Xiao Tu and roared, "You have maliciously injured and slandered an official of the imperial court. Your intentions are truly vicious. Today, I will ask the emperor for an explanation. Otherwise, how can I face people and how can I still serve as an official..."
Xiao Tu tapped her cheek with her slender white fingertips and said, "Master Xu, don't be so excited. If you want an explanation, why do you need to go to the emperor? I'll give it to you now. Don't be excited. After all, you are already so old."
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards her.
Old Master Xu's furious roar was instantly cut off as if someone had grabbed his neck. He then glared at him with gloomy eyes, "Oh, you can give me an explanation? Fine, tell me, tell me. If you can't..."
As he spoke, there was a ruthless look in the depths of his eyes. No matter what method he used today, he would secretly kill this woman.
Xiao Tu only glanced at him, then said slowly, "Since the old tutor is so anxious, then all right," she turned her head and looked inside the hall, "Is the Dali Temple Minister here?"
The Dali Temple Minister, who was sitting in the distance, watching the drama intently, was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. Then he quickly stood up and saluted, "Your Highness Gao Cong, the Dali Temple Minister, greets the Madam."
Xiao Tu nodded. "I've heard recently that every time around this time in the imperial city in recent years, some people have mysteriously disappeared."
The Dali Temple Minister was confused by the question, especially at this time, but he quickly said, "Madam, it is true. This matter started three years ago. Some of these people disappeared while traveling, and some disappeared while visiting relatives and friends.
Every time, more than a dozen people are lost. Even after so much time, there is still no sign of anyone alive or dead. Therefore, every time this happens, I ask my subordinates to strengthen their vigilance, but unfortunately, the effect is minimal."
This has been happening every year, and this case has almost become a thorn in the side of the Dali Temple.
Xiao Tu hummed, but her tone was strange. "So, these missing people are all men?"
The Dali Temple Minister was moved upon hearing this and immediately looked up at her. "Exactly. The missing are all adult men, strong and sturdy, over five feet tall. I don't know why they were taken away."
He felt strange when talking about this. Logically speaking, these men should not be the first choice for human trafficking business.
Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Xiao Tu. Xiao Tu lazily raised his hand and pointed at Master Xu, "You'll have to ask Master!"
The Minister of Dali Temple followed the finger and glared at Tutor Xu.
Everyone's eyes snapped to look again.
At this moment, Old Master Xu was still in shock as the hidden scandal was revealed to him.
So no one was able to react immediately and refute Xiao Tu.
At this moment, the quick-thinking people in the palace suddenly understood something. Taifu Xu jumped up and down and shouted at Madam Xiao to give an explanation, but Madam Xiao turned around and asked about the reason for the disappearance case in the Dali Temple.
So, the missing five-foot-tall men were abducted by Old Master Xu and used as a nighttime mistress?
Everyone gasped, this is really...
