Chapter 100 Ji Xuanyu: Arrested the wrong person?
"Many people will surely come to inquire about this. Tell the people who go out to buy things in the morning to spread the word that something has happened to the young lady if they see anyone asking."
Zhou Zhilan responded: "I understand. I will give the order right away."
The old lady swept her eyes around the high wall and said, "Chunyu, guard the Duke's Mansion well. There must not be any mistakes."
Zhou Chunyu agreed and went to make arrangements immediately.
Yi Niang supported the old lady and said, "Old lady, it's late at night and the dew is heavy. You should go back to your room and rest."
"No need. I'll just wait in the main hall. I want to see which immortal loses his patience first and wants to break into the Duke of Yong's mansion!"
The old lady strode out.
…
The night was not peaceful at Prince Ping'an's palace.
Jiang Ruoxi waited until late at night but her brother didn't come back, so she ordered people to go to Yichunyuan to investigate. Unexpectedly, she found a group of black-armored guards surrounding Yichunyuan.
Jiang Ruoxi was shocked when she heard this. Could it be that the truth was exposed?
The person who inquired about the matter also said that he saw the Inspection Office and the Black Armor Guards searching the whole city, and she felt relieved.
That means the kidnapping was successful, but I don’t know whether two people were kidnapped.
"Go to the Yongguo Mansion and check again. If the two women were kidnapped, the Yongguo Mansion must be in chaos."
After Jiang Ruoxi gave the instructions, she was still a little uneasy.
Soon, the people who went to the Yongguo Mansion came back and said that the gate of the Yongguo Mansion was closed, there was no one guarding outside, and there was nothing unusual.
Jiang Ruoxi looked outside and saw that it was almost dawn.
If everything goes as planned and the Gu sisters are stripped naked and thrown onto the street, things will be easier.
She and her brother just need to deny all the information.
Once this is over, let my brother kill those criminals and everything will be fine.
But the question is, was it two robberies or just one?
If one of them was missed, it would be fine if Gu Wanru was kidnapped, but if it was Gu Huan who was kidnapped, it would be easy for people to associate it with her.
"Try to stay at the Yongguo Mansion and ask those who go out to buy things early in the morning."
The person who received the order ran away quickly.
In less than half an hour, the person came back and excitedly told her that the servants of the Duke's Mansion said that the person kidnapped was the young lady.
Jiang Ruoxi was struck by lightning.
How could someone kidnap that useless Gu Wanru?
"Help me change my clothes quickly. I'm going to the Duke of Yong's mansion to take a look."
"County Princess, you are so anxious that you are almost fainting. This matter has not spread out in the market yet. If you knew about it and rashly went to the Duke's Mansion, wouldn't it be confirmed that it is related to you?" The maid hurriedly grabbed her.
Jiang Ruoxi was discouraged.
"Am I just going to sit there and wait for death?"
"The Duke's Mansion cannot block the news, so it has all been revealed, hasn't it? If that Gu Wanru is exposed, it proves that you, the county lady, are not involved, and you have no grudge against the young lady. We can spread the word immediately, saying that her sister Gu Huan doesn't care about her sister's life or death..."
The personal maid whispered in her ear.
Jiang Ruoxi's eyes lit up: "Your idea is good. Even if the little bitch escapes, her reputation will be ruined. Go and do it."
The maid smiled and said, "Yes, I will go right away."
After a while, Jiang Ruoxi couldn't stand it anymore and called the servant who usually ran errands for the outside world: "Go and see if you can find the person who usually contacts my brother, tell him that they arrested the wrong person, and tell his men to keep their mouths shut!"
The servant went there quickly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step forward, he was scared back.
A man in black wearing a silver half-face mask appeared behind him, carried the man in, and with a knife, the man fell to the ground.
Jiang Ruoxi was so scared that she almost screamed.
Someone suddenly grabbed his throat, his face turned red, and he stared at the sinister eyes in horror.
"If you dare to make a sound, you'll be dead in the blink of an eye." He opened his thin lips slightly, and his cold voice made Jiang Ruoxi feel cold all over.
She nodded with difficulty.
Ji Xuanyu let go of her hand and pushed her onto the bed. Jiang Ruoxi hurriedly grabbed the quilt to cover herself, shaking her head, not daring to say a word.
Ji Xuanyu leaned forward and sneered, "With your looks, do you think I'm interested in you?"
Jiang Ruoxi was so angry that her face turned blue, but she didn't dare to get angry.
This person is my brother's most capable assistant. Some things that are inconvenient to do in the palace on a daily basis are assigned to his subordinates.
Jiang Ruoxi had never met him in person, but she felt that he was cruel and ruthless.
"Have your people confirmed that the person they arrested is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion?"
Just now, he and his men tried to sneak into the Duke of Yong's mansion, but they found that it was guarded like an iron wall and not even a fly could get in.
He had no choice but to go to Prince Ping'an's palace.
This was a plan set up by Jiang Ruoxi and her brother. She is also the sister of the late wife of Duke Yong, so maybe she has some information.
Jiang Ruoxi glared at him angrily: "Don't you know who you have arrested? You idiots, you messed up and now you come to question me!"
Frightened by the sinister eyes beneath the silver mask, Jiang Ruoxi immediately changed the subject.
"Whether or not to capture Gu Huan is not a big deal, but if you are discovered, it will implicate my brother and the palace. That little bitch must have seen your people, she must die. I can reward you brothers with another 100 gold coins, go and kill her, how about it?"
Ji Xuanyu turned around suddenly, his eyes like a cold knife.
Jiang Ruoxi was so frightened by his stare that her neck shrank: "I'm doing this for your own good."
Ji Xuanyu drew his sword and slashed at the neck of the servant lying on the ground. With a snap, the neck was broken and the head rolled, leaving only a layer of skin on the back of the neck.
Jiang Ruoxi was almost scared to death. She quickly pulled the quilt over her head, clenched her teeth tightly, and dared not cry or scream.
The quilt was pulled off, and I was met with a pair of fierce eyes.
"Just try to touch her! If she loses even a hair on your body, your whole family will die!"
There was a flash of cold light before her eyes, and a clump of Jiang Ruoxi's hair was cut off. She was so scared that she opened her mouth to scream, but she lost her voice due to being too frightened.
A warm stream flowed out between my legs, my butt was wet, and I was suddenly filled with grief and anger and wanted to cry but had no tears.
Ji Xuanyu stood up straight with a look of disgust, pointed at her nose and warned: "Don't even think about doing anything. If I find out, I will burn down your palace and throw you to my evil ghost brothers to eat!"
Jiang Ruoxi huddled in the quilt, shivering, and watched the person leave quickly.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, and she shouted at the man's back, "Maybe the person you caught is Gu Huan."
The man paused and turned his head to stare at her.
Jiang Ruoxi was furious: "She climbed into Mu Junyan's bed, that's why Mu Junyan was so nervous about her. If you arrested Gu Wanru, Mu Junyan would never personally search the capital at night and cause such a commotion."
Sure enough, the man came back like the wind and grabbed her neck.
His eyes were red, like a demon crawling out of hell.
"How dare you slander her!"
Jiang Ruoxi widened her eyes. He was so nervous about Gu Huan. Did he know her?
She suddenly felt that her guess might be right, and suddenly felt a sense of gloating.
Suddenly she laughed, and said with all her might, "I slandered her? Don't you know why I wanted to arrest her? I was the one who wanted to marry Mu Junyan to become the Duke's wife, but Mu Junyan dared to defy the Queen Mother's decree to marry her because he wanted to take her as a concubine."
Ji Xuanyu's grip strength increased unintentionally.
Jiang Ruoxi couldn't breathe and her face turned red. She pulled his hand hard, but it was of no use.
"If, if you really caught the wrong person, you would have killed her. The day will soon dawn, and the little bitch will be ruined!"
A fishy and sweet taste suddenly surged up in Ji Xuanyu's throat. He threw the man away fiercely, turned around and ran out at a quick pace.
Jiang Ruoxi coughed hard, and was so angry that she pounded the quilt and screamed, "Someone come quickly! Where did they die?"
She was so pissed off.
Mu Junyan protected the little bitch, and even cold-blooded and heartless people who didn't know her protected her.
What kind of magic does this little bitch Gu Huan have to hook people's souls?
Ji Xuanyu went out, jumped on his horse, waved the whip wildly, and galloped back towards the Xinghua Theater.
