Chapter 899: The beloved cousin escaped from control (25)
"Cousin, don't worry. I have already sent people to the Huguo Temple to call for the masters to help. Please wait a little longer." Du Shichu smiled and persuaded Zhou Yizhuo patiently.
Zhou Yizhui suddenly remembered that what he planned today should not be known to outsiders. The fewer people who know, the better. Otherwise, if someone finds out that something is wrong, he will be in trouble.
As a result, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat. This time, it was not because of pain, but fear. He almost shouted in a roaring voice: "Absolutely not! We must not let the monks of the Huguo Temple come to help!"
"Why not? The people from the Huguo Temple can get here much faster than us going back to the capital, and you are injured now, and you need someone to help you treat your wound quickly. If you go back to the capital, it will definitely delay your treatment, and it would be bad if you were left with some sequelae." Du Shichu said very understandingly.
Zhou Yizhuo was extremely anxious, with sweat pouring down his forehead. He was anxious and panicked, but he could not find any reasonable reason not to let Du Shichu ask the monks of Huguo Temple for help. In a hurry, he only felt that his wound was getting more painful. He wished he could faint from the pain right now so that he would not have to face this difficult situation.
Du Shichu looked at Zhou Yizhu leisurely, like an ant in a hot pot, wondering if he regretted plotting against him now? But it was too late to regret, since he had already made a move, there was no way he would let it go.
"Master, those robbers... haven't left..." The clever servants suddenly discovered that all the "robbers" were still here!
After hearing what he said, Zhou Yizu no longer cared about the wounds on his body. He looked around and his eyes went dark. He almost fainted. It turned out that none of the "robbers" left. They were all standing there.
What on earth was going on with them? Didn't they know to leave while the chaos was going on? Zhou Yizhu was filled with hatred. Because he was injured and panicked, he ignored the abnormality of these "robbers" standing there. He thought these "robbers" were not leaving on their own initiative.
"Let them leave quickly! Don't let us get implicated if they get caught!" Zhou Yizhui hurriedly ordered the servant.
"Yes!" the servant responded, then looked at Du Shichu and Zhichun cautiously. Seeing that they were not paying attention here, he "quietly" moved to the side of the "robbers" and whispered to them to leave quickly.
However, all of the "robbers" had their acupuncture points pressed by Du Shichu, and they could neither move nor speak. Therefore, even if they heard the servants' requests, they had no way of carrying them out and could only worry.
The servant thought it was very abnormal that they remained motionless after he had asked them to do so. He was about to get angry, but suddenly he realized that their silence was abnormal. His mind raced and he immediately understood that someone had pressed their acupoints!
The servant's heart was suddenly in suspense. He hurried back to Zhou Yizhu and reported to him in a low voice: "Master, these 'robbers' have been acupunctured. They can't run away at all!"
"Who pressed the acupoints on them?" Zhou Yizhui asked with gritted teeth.
"I don't know..." the servant answered tremblingly.
Du Shichu pressed the acupoints of the "robbers" when Zhou Yizhuo and his men were in a mess, and his speed was very fast, so none of them noticed that it was Du Shichu who did it.
"Could it be my cousin?" Zhou Yizhu looked at Du Shichu, but he quickly refuted his words, "It can't be her. My cousin is weak and doesn't know how to fight, let alone acupuncture..."
"Could it be that a kind-hearted person passing by helped me?" Zhou Yizhu's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this possibility, and he broke out in a cold sweat again. "If someone saw what I did today, would I have a good ending?"
Zhou Yizhui was shocked and frightened, his emotions fluctuated greatly, and he lost too much blood from the chest wound. In a panic, he suddenly lost consciousness and fainted.
"Master! Master!" The servants surrounding him became anxious when they saw that he had fainted, and called out to him hurriedly. Then no one cared whether the "robbers" would leave or not.
Just as they were calling Zhou Yizu, Du Shichu's groom finally brought the monks from the Huguo Temple.
"Amitabha, the donors have suffered." The middle-aged monk in the lead said to Du Shichu, "Is the princess okay? Are you injured?"
Du Shichu shook his head: "I am not injured, but the young master of the Zhou family is injured. I may need to trouble the master to take him back to the Huguo Temple to treat his wounds."
"Oh, and these robbers, Master, please send a few people to help me escort them to the government. They are robbers who have committed many crimes. I think this is definitely not their first crime. I don't know how many victims they have. We need to let the government interrogate them thoroughly."
When the robber nearby heard what Du Shichu said, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He winked at Du Shichu, trying to say that he was not a robber who had done many evil things, but just an ordinary person who was hired by Young Master Zhou to act in a play.
However, Du Shichu ignored their strong desire to express. After handing the people over to the monks, Du Shichu approached the monk who was obviously the leader and said a few words to him. After listening to him, the monk looked at Zhou Yizhuo in surprise, then nodded with a complicated expression and took the "robbers" back to the capital.
Zhou Yizu was taken back to the Huguo Temple by the middle-aged master, along with his servants. However, Du Shichu declined the master's request to stay overnight at the Huguo Temple. Instead, she followed the monks who were escorting the robbers and returned to Beijing in a carriage.
After arriving at the Huguo Temple and being rescued by the monks who knew medicine, Zhou Yizhui became extremely anxious when he learned that all the "robbers" had been escorted back to the capital by the monks to be handed over to the government. He wished he could return to the capital immediately and rescue those "robbers" from the prison!
The "robbers" he found were all ordinary people in the human market who wanted to do hard labor. Because he was too confident, he just paid them and did not repeatedly ask them to keep it secret. Therefore, Zhou Yizhu was very worried that these people would betray him immediately when they were interrogated by the government.
He simply couldn't imagine how Du Shichu would react if he knew that he had written and directed this robbery incident in order to perform a "heroic rescue" in front of her so that she would have a good impression of him.
It's fine if she doesn't hate him, but how could she still have a good impression of him? At this time, Zhou Yizhu regretted it so much. If he had known that this would go wrong, he would not have used this trick. Now, he has lost more than he gained, and his plan has backfired!
Zhou Yizu, who was extremely anxious, racked his brains and finally came up with a solution that was not a solution. He hurriedly asked two servants to rush back to the house and tell his mother everything that had happened today, asking her to find a way to silence the "robbers" who had been sent to the government and clean up the mess for him.
