Chapter 285 The search came

When Mo Yunzhu and the other two returned to Wanyao Pavilion, Zhuo Yu hurried over and told them about Princess Changxiang.

Mo Yunzhu touched her chin and smiled, which made Zhuo Yu understand instantly.

He actually guessed that it was Mo Yunzhu who did it, but he didn't expect that she was so brave just after arriving. Wasn't she afraid of being discovered by the royal family?

This is Chen State, not Qingyun.

Zhuo Yu was extremely worried, but he also knew that he couldn't say anything more. After all, Zhuo Yu knew very well why she did this.

"Young Master, Miss Mo, the old master wants to see you." Butler Lu came to Xueling Pavilion and said.

Mo Yunzhu and Zhuo Yu looked at each other, and the two went to Zhuo Hongli's Wanqing Pavilion.

As soon as I entered, I saw Zhuo Hongli making tea for himself, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of tea.

"Come on, sit down." Zhuo Hongli said gently to the two of them.

"Godfather, is there anything you want to talk to us about?" Zhuo Yu asked.

Zhuo Hongli looked at Mo Yunzhu deeply, and then looked at Zhuo Yu.

"There's a curfew outside, did you know?" Zhuo Hongli said in a low voice.

Zhuo Yu immediately said, "It must be because Princess Changxiang was beaten."

Zhuo Hongli looked at Mo Yunzhu again and said, "I heard that he was whipped by a woman. His body was covered with wounds and his face was disfigured."

Mo Yunzhu immediately smiled and said, "Uncle Zhuo, do you think I did it? You think too highly of me."

Zhuo Hongli was slightly stunned, and then he thought of the many guards around Princess Changxiang, and Mo Yunzhu only had three people. It was really impossible for him to do it, unless there was something he didn't know.

Just as he finished speaking, Steward Lu suddenly rushed in and said anxiously, "Master, it's bad, the police are here."

Zhuo Hongli's face suddenly darkened, and he sneered, "Why, do you think there are people hiding in my Wanyao Pavilion? Who brought them here?"

"Lord Li, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, said that the emperor was furious and demanded that the person who hurt Princess Changxiang must be found. The Ministry of Justice was just following orders." said Steward Lu.

"Godfather, I'll go and say hello." Zhuo Yu said immediately.

Zhuo Hongli glanced at Mo Yunzhu and then said, "I'll go. You guys go back to yourselves. You still have to do your job. Yunzhu is our customer."

Zhuo Yu and Mo Yunzhu could only nod, and Zhuo Hongli hurried to the front.

Lord Li Zhongzheng, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is a burly, fat middle-aged man with good martial arts skills. He is usually lazy and indifferent to things, but this matter concerns Princess Changxiang. If he does not find the woman who beat the princess, his black veil hat may be in danger.

In the hall, Lord Li was sitting on a chair, and a team of officials was standing outside the door.

Zhuo Hongli came out and clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Lord Li is here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."

Li Zhongzheng stood up and said with a smile: "Master Zhuo, you are too polite. I really have no choice but to come here today for official business. Master Zhuo, have you heard about Princess Changxiang's affairs?"

Zhuo Hongli nodded and said in a deep voice: "That woman is really too arrogant."

"Who said it wasn't? She actually hurt the eldest princess. The emperor is furious. He must call the Ministry of Justice and the government to catch that woman. So every household in this area must be searched. Isn't this the way to Master Zhuo's Wanyao Pavilion?" Lord Li said with a smile.

Zhuo Hongli immediately said, "Of course, but such a long time has passed, I'm afraid this woman has already escaped from this area, right?"

"I don't think so. I asked a lot of people, but no one saw the woman leave. She must have gone into hiding."

Zhuo Hongli said, "Sir Li, it is fine if you want to search, but I have a distinguished guest here, so please be quiet when searching."

"Distinguished guest?" Lord Li's heart moved.

You should know that Lord Li is about the same age as Zhuo Hongli. He knows everything about the Third Prince's usurpation of the throne. He is also considered to be a member of the Third Prince's faction, which is why he has achieved his current status as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

He had personally seen Zhuo Hongli talking with the Third Prince, and the Third Prince was actually somewhat flattering towards Zhuo Hongli.

However, Zhuo Hongli did not become a popular figure around the emperor, but opened Wanyao Pavilion.

Wanyao Pavilion also prospered very quickly, and encountered various problems, but Wanyao Pavilion was able to overcome them safely. So Lord Li now thinks that he cannot afford to offend this family.

And his nobleman made him a little curious. After all, the status of someone who could be called a nobleman by Zhuo Hongli should not be low.

"Don't worry, Master Zhuo. We are just doing a routine check to avoid being picked on by those with ulterior motives. We will not disturb your rest." Lord Li said in a good-tempered manner.

"Thank you, Lord Li. Old Zhou, please show Lord Li around." Zhuo Hongli said to Uncle Zhou.

Uncle Zhou agreed and led his men into the backyard. Lord Li thought about it and asked the officials outside to come into the hall and wait, but he did not follow them to the backyard.

At this moment, it was already dark outside. Zhuo Hongli deliberately did not go in, but sat in the store, waiting for Lord Li to come out.

Butler Lu had already received Zhuo Hongli's signal and went to report to Mo Yunzhu in advance.

Mo Yunzhu had already changed into a beautiful dress and her hair accessories were also gorgeous. She and Zhuo Yu were playing chess, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Sir Li, the one living here is our distinguished guest, a young lady." Uncle Zhou said to Sir Li who was about to enter Xueling Courtyard.

"Oh? Young lady?" Lord Li's expression changed slightly.

"This is the girl that the old man picked for the young master. He's just afraid of scaring the girl." Uncle Zhou laughed.

"So that's how it is." Lord Li immediately knew that this was to find a wife for Zhuo Yu, but there shouldn't be many women who could match Zhuo Yu, the young master of Wanyao Pavilion.

Who is this woman?

"Young Master, Miss Mo." Uncle Zhou's voice rang out.

Lord Li was so curious that he stretched his neck to look inside. He saw a beautiful face with bright and generous features, and was instantly struck by it.

But soon he felt that this face looked familiar.

I just can't remember where I've seen her, but that shouldn't be the case. If I've seen such a beauty, I shouldn't have forgotten her.

Where does that sense of familiarity come from?

"Uncle Zhou, what's the matter?" Zhuo Yu walked out, followed by Mo Yunzhu.

"Isn't this Lord Li?" Zhuo Yu looked at Li Zhongzheng and said.

Li Zhongzheng immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Zhuo, you still remember me. I'm really sorry. Today is official business. This lady is..."

Uncle Zhou immediately told him about Princess Changxiang's search for someone.

"Sir Li, this is our friend from Wanyao Pavilion, Miss Mo Yunzhu from Qingyun. Yunzhu, this is the Minister of Justice, Sir Li."

Mo Yunzhu immediately smiled warmly and said, "Yunzhu has met Lord Li."

"Ms. Mo seems a little familiar." Li Zhengzhong seemed to be getting more and more familiar with Mo Yunzhu, which made him more and more confused.

How could I feel familiar with this girl from Qingyun? This is so strange.

"Really? Do I have a common face?" Mo Yunzhu covered her face with both hands and smiled a little distressedly.
