King Hui was startled. Jiu Ye had already fallen into a coma and was running a high fever. If Zuo Qianyu forced his way in—
We must never let the Duke of Dingnan know that the Ninth Master is seriously ill, otherwise, they will all die!
In desperation, King Hui had no choice but to take a gamble!
He picked up the inkstone on the desk and threw it out of the curtain!
The inkstone was broken and the vermilion ink splashed everywhere!
Even half of Zuo Qianyu's cloak was dyed red.
Zuo Qianyu immediately knelt on one knee and clasped his fists:
"Yes! I'll take my leave!"
Then he quickly retreated and turned to leave the Ninth Master's inner chamber.
As soon as the door closed——
King Hui helped Jiu Ye out!
"Call a doctor! Call Doctor Qiu! Quick!"
After Zuo Qianyu went out, he did not leave the headquarters, but walked slowly in the courtyard.
Suddenly I saw Military Advisor Xu coming out and followed him.
He went to a side room in the backyard and knocked on the door. The person who opened the door was Dr. Qiu from Jishi Medical Clinic.
King Hui caught a minor cold and actually invited him to see him.
Doctor Qiu's medical skills are well-known in Shangyang County!
He became even more suspicious.
So he followed them back to Jiu Ye's bedroom.
When he opened the door, King Hui inadvertently saw that Zuo Qianyu had not left yet and was eavesdropping outside.
So he gave Doctor Qiu a few instructions.
Doctor Qiu said loudly, "Your Highness, Prince Hui, has indeed caught a cold. However, the constant numbness in his hands and feet must be from muscle strain during martial arts training. Therefore, I will observe him for a few more days."
After hearing this, Zuo Qianyu finally believed it, so he quickly left the camp, withdrew his troops, and returned to Dingnan Marquis Mansion to report.
Not long after, Lieutenant General Du, who had gone to search the largest brothel in Shangyang County, Xiangxielan, came back with his troops. Fu Tong'er was sitting on the edge of the bed holding Jiu Ye's token.
Lieutenant General Du reported, "Miss Fu, I haven't found the official silver. However, I saw carriages going from the brothel to the east gate of the Dingnan Marquis's mansion. I wanted to lead my troops to search, but there was an iron gate. So I decided to return and report. What do you think we should do next? Should we break in or what?"
Fu Tong'er recalled the key she felt on Jiu Ye's chest during the Wanhua Festival that day. Could that key be...
So I wondered where he would put the key.
Where would such a valuable thing be placed...
Fu Tong'er sat on the edge of Jiu Ye's bed with her eyes closed, holding the unconscious Jiu Ye with one hand and holding the military token tightly with the other hand. She said, "Commander Du, go look in the drawer of Jiu Ye's study to see if there is a key with a round head and short body."
Lieutenant General Du looked for it but found nothing.
Fu Tong'er asked a maid to support her and went to the study to look through Jiu Ye's things.
At the same time, Doctor Qiu was giving Jiu Ye an acupuncture treatment.
After searching for a long time, I still found nothing.
Fu Tong'er felt that she and Jiu Ye had been together for four months and they had some mutual understanding.
But where would he put the key... After thinking for a long time, she suddenly remembered that Jiu Ye liked her to wear that red strapless Western Region dress with hanging bells. She suddenly felt shy. Jiu Ye had always kept that dress at the bottom of the closet.
Sometimes I take it out and let her wear it.
After all, he loved playing with her tender body on the bed.
Thinking of this, Fu Tong'er asked the maid to help her to the wardrobe. She squatted down, felt the bottom layer, opened it, and finally took out the clothes. After rummaging around for a while, she found a secret compartment inside. Fu Tong'er reached in and found a key. And it was that key.
She couldn't help but smile. He really put the key together with this alluring outfit! Man!
Fu Tong'er gave the key to Lieutenant General Du and asked him to be extremely careful when going out.
Lieutenant General Du once again led his men to the back door of Dingnan Marquis' Mansion, the east side door. When they opened the door, they saw a dilapidated courtyard.
There is a gate plaque in the yard, which is old and dirty, covered with dust and cobwebs, and no one would notice it.
It says: "Seventy-two Mansions Pavilion".
The yard was in disrepair and overgrown with weeds. It was only a few dozen acres and could accommodate three small carriages.
There is a wing on the east side, which is ordinary, shabby, and in disrepair, with the red paint peeling off.
The door was ordinary. It wasn't even locked!
Brigadier General Du rushed forward with several others and kicked the door open.
The Seventy-two Mansions are the purgatory on earth.
All the people here are war slaves trained by the Dingnan Marquis Mansion.
There are nearly 10,000 people!
They were all hung by chains.
Especially the seventy-two top-level war slaves, who were howling and locked in cages high in the sky, arranged according to the positions of the stars.
There were also female sex slaves tied up in chains, huddled on the sand, and hung and beaten...
They were naked, wailing incessantly, and it was a horrific sight.
Lieutenant General Du drew his sword and shouted, "Investigate the case by order of the Regent Prince Chun!"
The two servants from Dingnan Marquis's Mansion are in charge here. One is male and the other is female.
Lieutenant General Du ordered his men to arrest them.
Asked about the whereabouts of the official silver,
The maid pointed to the room at the end of the front: "There, there."
Lieutenant General Du raised his hand to signal, and several soldiers came over and opened the door at the end. Sure enough, several boxes of 1.2 million taels of official silver that were allocated by the Regent Ninth Prince for disaster relief in the twelfth month but lost were inside!
Just as they were about to transport the lost official silver away, the third daughter of the Dingnan Marquis's Mansion, Princess Tingyang, appeared at the door.
