171. Chapter 171: The Misogyny Emperor vs. the Wife of a Powerful Official (24)



"Master, I just saw the girl who had physical contact with you yesterday! I didn't expect that she is from the General's Mansion and lives in Nanyuan!"

Before anyone could be seen, the voice of Feng Jue came from outside the door.

Nanyuan...

Shen Tingsi narrowed his eyes, and his expression instantly became intriguing.

The next moment Feng Jue appeared at the door holding peony flowers, his face showing no sign of concealing his excitement.

"Master, look, this flower was given to me by that girl!"

Feng Jue excitedly took the flowers to Shen Tingsi, with a hint of showing off in his words.

However, what made Feng Jue excited was not the flowers in his hand, but the person who gave him the flowers.

Shen Tingsi glanced at the flowers in Feng Jue's hand and said, "Nanyuan?"

"Yes, it's the elegantly decorated courtyard we passed by yesterday, not far from the Bamboo Garden!"

At this time Feng Jue hadn't realized anything yet, and the smile on his face was extremely bright.

Without waiting for Shen Tingsi to speak, Feng Jue speculated, "But I haven't heard that General Zhou has a sister. Could she be a cousin?"

Shen Tingsi: “…”

Afraid that Feng Jue would come up with some more wild ideas, Shen Tingsi kindly reminded him.

"The person living in Nanyuan is the young lady of the General's Mansion."

"Young Madam?"

Feng Jue's eyes suddenly widened, and then he stood there as if petrified. Belatedly, he remembered what Zhou Qingyuan had said when they passed by Nanyuan yesterday.

My wife likes quietness...

So the person who had physical contact with the master without making the master feel uncomfortable was the general, the general's wife, General Zhou's wife? ? Feng Jue's pupils trembled instantly.

After waiting so long for such an exception, I thought that the master had finally found the destined person, but I didn't expect that the beauty was already taken! God, you are blind! Feng Jue widened his eyes and shouted in his heart, and for a moment he couldn't accept this fact.

He held on to his last bit of hope and said, "Master, I think this might be a misunderstanding. Perhaps that girl is a distant relative of General Zhou or Madam, and is just staying in Nanyuan temporarily?"

Thinking of Qingzhu calling Jiang Li "Miss", Feng Jue suddenly thought of this.

Shen Tingsi didn't say anything and stood up from his seat.

"Let's go and take a look at that casino."

"yes!"

Feng Jue casually placed the potted plant on Shen Tingsi's desk and followed him absent-mindedly.

When passing by Nanyuan, Feng Jue subconsciously looked inside, praying all the way that Jiang Li was just a distant relative of the general's mansion, and not the general's wife.

It can be said that he is worried about his master.

Zhou Qingyuan went to the training ground early this morning and didn't know Shen Tingsi's whereabouts.

Jiang Li promised her father and mother that she would visit the Jiang residence every day. After breakfast, she went to the Jiang residence with Qingzhu.

Mrs. Zhou loves her grandson very much. She has been focusing on Zhou Zhiheng these past two days and has no time to bother Jiang Li for the time being. Jiang Li is also happy and at ease.

Everyone in the general's mansion was busy with their own work, and no one noticed a sneaky figure appearing at the back door of the mansion.

The man came to the back door of the general's mansion with ease, then bent down and pulled aside the dogtail grass in front of him, and a dog hole large enough for one person to pass through suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Humph, you want to trap me? No way!"

The man snorted disdainfully and simply lay down on the ground and crawled into the dog hole in front of him.

After successfully leaving the general's mansion, he raised his hand behind his ear and pulled a human skin mask off his face.

So he had two human skin masks made overnight, and exchanged identities with the servant who served by his side. He asked the servant to go to the training ground to be punished in his place, while he escaped from the general's mansion and continued to live a life of debauchery.

He missed the date with Miss Xiaoqing that night. He hoped that Miss Xiaoqing would not be angry and would not see him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but walk towards the brothel, having already forgotten Mrs. Zhou's instructions and walked eighteen miles away.

Zhou Qingyun was notorious, and almost everyone in the entire Jiangnan City knew him. When the people saw Zhou Qingyun, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief, thinking that they were seeing things.

Looking closely, it was none other than Mr. Zhou Er! "Wasn't Mr. Zhou tied up by General Zhou and taken to the training ground for execution? How did he end up here?"

"How would I know? I saw two carriages coming out of the general's mansion this morning!"

"Yes, I saw it too! Since the execution was to take place, shouldn't Mr. Zhou be in the carriage right now? How did he end up here?"

"Oh, don't you understand? There's no one in the carriage! Otherwise, why would he appear here?"

"No one? So General Zhou's words yesterday were meant for us!"

The image that Zhou Qingyuan had worked so hard to establish was now destroyed by Zhou Qingyun. Even the people who had supported him before did not speak up for him after seeing Zhou Qingyun with their own eyes.

Zhou Qingyun, who was thinking only of Miss Xiaoqing, did not pay attention to the advice of the crowd. He hummed a little tune and walked briskly towards the brothel.

——

Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue wandered around the casino for most of the day without finding any clues, so they left without making a sound.

Some of the previous prefects died in casinos, and some died in brothels. If we want to find out the real cause of their deaths, we can only look for clues in these two places.

Shen Tingsi came here this time to secretly investigate the matter and find out who was playing tricks behind the scenes.

Since he was able to hide the truth from several imperial envoys, Shen Tingsi did not expect to find out the truth of the matter with just one visit. He checked the situation in the casino and then left.

"Master, do you want to go to the flower building?"

After coming out of the casino, Feng Jue turned his head and looked at Shen Tingsi.

Shen Tingsi put one hand behind his back and played with a ring with the other hand. He hummed lightly and walked towards the brothel in front.

When we got near the flower building, we heard a noisy sound from the front.

"Mr. Zhou Er, please, please let my daughter go!"

"Let me go, let me go!"

The sound of a woman begging for mercy and a woman struggling came from the front, followed by an arrogant voice.

"Little beauty, stop shouting. No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out. Hurry up and obey me. I promise to make sure you will have a good life in the future!"

tear——

There was a sound of cloth tearing.

"Ah! Let me go, let me go!"

"You stinky bitch! How dare you bite me? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not Zhou Qingyun!"

Shen Tingsi frowned and walked quickly towards the crowd in front.

"Zhou Qingyun, you bastard! Stop it now!"

A clear and sharp shout was heard, and Zhou Qingyun's arm was grabbed from behind.

"It hurts, it hurts, let go, let go! My brother is a mighty general who is about to take office. If you dare to touch me, you are dead!"

Pah! A crisp slap hit Zhou Qingyun's face mercilessly.

"Open your dog eyes and see who I am!"
