Although it was a family dinner hosted by Tang Liuzhao that day, it was actually Tang Liuzhao's concubine who had been entertaining them. Tang Liuzhao hardly said a word and just let his concubine take care of everything for him.
For this reason, An Tingyu felt puzzled. It was Tang Liuzhao who invited them, but he was not enthusiastic at all. Unless his concubine glared at him, he would change a little. Such a Tang Liuzhao also made An Tingyu very puzzled.
"Lord Tang, are we disturbing you?" An Tingyu whispered softly, sounding polite, but also seemed to be testing something.
Before Tang Liuyi could speak, the concubine said, "No, how could that be! Although my master is not very talkative, he has always been thinking about entertaining Miss An and the young master! So how could he possibly disturb them? Don't you agree, my lord?"
At the end, the concubine did not forget to ask Tang Liuzhao. Although she was asking, her eyes were extremely sharp, as if as long as Tang Liuzhao said no, she would make him look good.
The corners of Tang Liuzhao's mouth twitched, and he said indifferently, "Yes!"
But just when I thought he would say something else, Tang Liuzhao said nothing. For this, I was secretly angry again, but I could only smile at An Tingyu and others.
"I'm so sorry, Miss An, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. My master has just this temper. People who know him say he's nice, but those who don't... Sigh!" My concubine suddenly sighed, "They all say my master is scary, but he just looks a little fierce and doesn't talk much, so he gives people a scary feeling, but he's actually a very good person."
"Whether he is a good person or not, we look at his heart, not his appearance." An Tingyu smiled slightly and replied ambiguously, but in her heart, An Tingyu understood one thing, that is, the person who wanted to entertain guests today was probably not Tang Liuzhao, but this concubine.
"Yes, yes, that's true." The concubine quickly nodded in agreement.
"Madam, the meal is ready!" At this time, a maid came in.
The concubine nodded. She opened her eyes and looked around, then looked at An Tingyu with some confusion and said, "Miss An, didn't your guard say he went to the toilet? Why hasn't he returned after being gone for so long? Did something happen?"
An Tingyu smiled faintly, "No, Dang Yan never likes crowds. Maybe he stayed in the garden after going to the bathroom and didn't come back. I'll ask someone to look for him! Fengyun..."
My concubine interrupted An Tingyu and said, "Miss An, let me go find it! I am more familiar with our mansion and it will be easier to find it. Please follow my master to the dining room first. I will bring Guard Dangyan with me in a moment."
An Tingyu's sharp eyes darkened slightly, but she still replied, "Then I'll trouble you, Madam."
Everyone went out together, one group was going to look for someone, and the other group was going to the dining room, but as soon as they walked out the door, Dang Yan came back with some account books in his hands.
"Miss, I found it."
When Yan said this lightly, An Tingyu's originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp. She turned her sharp gaze to Tang Liuzhao and said coldly: "Master Tang, it seems that we can't eat this meal. Take it away!"
As An Tingyu finished speaking, Fengyun's sword was already on Tang Liuzhao's neck. Tang Liuzhao frowned, but didn't say a word. Instead, the concubine looked at An Tingyu in panic and said, "Miss An, what...what's going on? Why did you let someone point a sword at my master? What did my master do wrong?"
"Ma'am, I'm so sorry to have wasted your time. I'm here because I received a complaint. Someone accused your master of abuse of power, oppression and extortion of the people, so I came to find evidence. Now that I have the evidence, you can only enjoy this meal slowly by yourself. Farewell."
"Wait," the concubine stopped An Tingyu, "Miss An, even if you came here to report something, and even though you are of noble status, you are not an official after all. How can you have the right to arrest someone just because you want to? My master is an official appointed by the court of Longyan Nation."
"Madam, what you said is very good. Under normal circumstances, I don't have this right, but..." An Tingyu smiled coldly, curling her lips sarcastically, "Madam, you may not know that I not only have the gold medal bestowed by the Queen Mother, but also the imperial sword awarded by the Emperor himself. Even if I take out any of them, it is enough to chop off his head eight or ten times. Do you have any questions now, Madam?"
"I……"
"Madam, this is not something you, as a woman, should be concerned about. Just stay at home!" At this time, Tang Liuzhao said lightly.
"grown ups……"
"Okay, stop being so nagging, Miss An, let's go!"
Hearing this, An Tingyu lazily raised her eyebrows, "Master Tang, you are quite straightforward! This is the first time I've met such a self-conscious prisoner."
In her previous life, when she was on a mission, there were many prisoners who needed to be brought back alive, but no prisoner was like Tang Liuzhao. Others tried their best to escape, but he seemed very willing to go with her.
"Hmph," Tang Liuzhao snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "The evidence is there. This is the first time I've seen such a powerful woman."
"Then please come in!" As if she didn't understand his sarcasm, An Tingyu just chuckled lightly and made a gesture of invitation.
Because Tang Liuru's case was in Xingfu Village, An Tingyu had no choice but to lock Tang Liuzhao up in the cell of Xingfu County Government.
At this moment, the dark cell was filled with a musty smell mixed with various pungent smells. An Tingyu frowned tightly as soon as she entered the cell. "Is this where people live? Even if it's for prisoners, they still have to pay attention to hygiene, right?"
