Chapter 319: What the Queen meant was to close the door and beat the dog!
Just then, there was a knock at the door, and the voice of the restaurant owner came, "Madam, Miss Xiaowu, County Magistrate Zhao and his men have surrounded the restaurant, saying they want to arrest spies from the Jinyu Kingdom. We request to come in and search."
Su Wanyan's face immediately turned cold upon hearing this. She exchanged a glance with Xiao Wu, then stood up and walked to the window. She slightly opened the window and saw dozens of officials had indeed arrived outside the restaurant, surrounding the entrance. She sneered, "They arrived quickly, Xiao Wu. Where are those two being held? Take me over there first."
Xiao Wu was not afraid of County Magistrate Zhao at all. She still had the token given by her master, which allowed her to execute first and report later when necessary. Hearing the little princess say this, she knew that she was going to use her Pokémon again, and she was quite excited. "Your Majesty, please come this way, and watch your step!"
The servile look stunned the shopkeeper outside. Xiaowu was the master's personal servant, so shouldn't he be as aloof and serious as the master? Why did he smile like Dahuang in the backyard of their kitchen?
Su Wanyan was also amused by Xiaowu.
The shopkeeper was not familiar with the young princess and did not dare to follow her. He just followed from a distance, waiting for the young princess's orders.
In order not to attract other people's attention, the two men were taken by the secret guards into the No. 1 room and locked up. The sound insulation measures in this room were good and no sound could be transmitted. I just don't know how County Magistrate Zhao knew that someone was locked up here. Judging from his posture, he might have come straight here.
Xiao Wu pushed open the door. The man who still looked recognizable on the boat last night was now tied up and covered in blood. Su Wanyan looked at the bright red bloodstains, and the familiar feeling of nausea emerged in her stomach again. Could it be that he couldn't even stand the sight of blood?
Glancing at the ground, she saw no traces of blood. She figured the secret guards had been very considerate when they tortured her. Since there was no evidence left in the room, Su Wanyan suppressed her nausea and nodded at Xiao Wu. "Go negotiate with Magistrate Zhao. He can come in and search if he wants. If he finds anything, he can take the relevant people away with him. I won't stop him. But if he finds nothing, don't blame us at Prince Xiao's Mansion for being rude."
Xiaowu nodded and left.
Any cat or dog dares to come to the master's territory and make trouble. If they are not dealt with harshly, they really don't feel pain.
The shopkeeper was standing not far away. When he saw Xiao Wu coming out and the little princess was nowhere to be seen, he hurriedly asked, "Miss Xiao Wu, what did the queen order?"
Xiao Wu's mouth curled up with a cold smile, "What the Queen meant was to close the door and beat the dog!"
The shopkeeper was puzzled at first, but then suddenly realized and nodded with joy, "The Queen is indeed domineering and majestic!"
Magistrate Zhao and his men waited outside the restaurant for a long time, but no one came out to answer. He couldn't help but get angry and turned to the accompanying legal advisor and complained, "What's going on? Do they still take me, their father and mother, seriously?"
The legal advisor's face was filled with sorrow. He wasn't as optimistic as Magistrate Zhao. Everyone knew that Mingyue Restaurant was Prince Xiao's private property. Even the Emperor's confiscation of property hadn't touched it. And here they were, clamoring for arrests, with no evidence. If they were actually apprehended by Prince Xiao's men, would anyone above them come to their rescue? Absolutely not. Wouldn't they then be completely abandoned?
Now he didn't dare to shout too loudly, for fear of sending Prince Xiao to his death.
When the lawyer heard Magistrate Zhao was about to shout, he quickly stopped him and said, "Sir Magistrate, let's wait a little longer!"
