Chapter 38 Liu Sisi's cousin?
Wei Jianzhong first quickly glanced at the cellar door in the yard, and seeing that the iron door was still tightly closed, his anxious heart relaxed a lot.
He quietly approached the main room, only to see that the lights were on inside, and the voices of a man and a woman came from inside.
At the window, two figures were entangled together.
Wei Jianzhong's face suddenly became as dark as iron.
"Take it off, I'll help you..." Liu Sisi's charming voice.
"Madam Liu, let go of my hand, I can't breathe..." A young man's voice.
Well, Liu Sisi, I raised you with all my heart, and you cheated on me!
Wei Jianzhong felt his blood rushing up and his head was dizzy. He gritted his teeth and kicked the door open with a bang.
He saw Liu Sisi and a man rolling on the bed.
Liu Sisi's hands were still tightly hooked around the man's neck.
"Liu Sisi, you bastard!" Wei Jianzhong roared, drew his knife and chopped at the bed.
The two people on the bed hugged each other tacitly and rolled to the side to avoid it.
"Master, please spare my life, listen to my explanation!" Liu Sisi screamed.
"He is just my cousin, who came to Beijing to take the exam!" Liu Sisi made up a story in a panic.
"Hahaha!" Wei Jianzhong stood still with his knife in hand, looking at Liu Sisi and sneering.
"Your cousin?!"
"Yes, my cousin. I just wanted to help him wipe the wine off his robe." Liu Sisi cried.
"You were sold to a brothel at the age of 8, and I bought you back to the capital at the age of 18. Where do you have any relatives?"
"Your cousin who appeared out of nowhere?" Wei Jianzhong
took a deep breath, raised his knife and chopped again. "Ah..." A woman screamed in extreme fear, and the sound in the house stopped abruptly.
Looking inside the house, Wei Jianzhong, Liu Sisi, and Dongfang Lingyun were all fainted.
The two gatekeepers outside the yard were putting their ears on the door and listening carefully.
"So the master is here to catch an adulterer today?" Wei Daniu said in a breathy voice.
"Huh? Why is there suddenly no sound?" Wei Dali looked puzzled.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?" Wei Dali looked at Wei Daniu and asked.
"Are you stupid? The old man is catching the lady cheating. Are we going in to be silenced by the old man?" Wei Daniu glared at him.
"There is no sound. Maybe they did it on purpose. They don't want to make the ugly things known to others."
"You are just ignorant. The richer the family, the more they care about face." Wei Daniu rolled his eyes in disdain.
In the courtyard, the second prince came into the house swiftly, stretched out his hand to pull Dongfang up, carried him to the courtyard, and scooped a bucket of cold water from the water tank and splashed it on Dongfang's head.
"Hmm..." Dongfang murmured softly and opened his eyes.
"Am I still alive?" Dongfang looked at the second prince in confusion.
"Of course they are still alive. I just sprayed smoke into the house. Now they are both down."
Dongfang's brows relaxed immediately after hearing this.
"My guess was right. The cellar at the bottom is full of gold, silver and treasures." The second prince whispered.
Dongfang patted the second prince's shoulder with joy: "You are really amazing!"
The second prince didn't care about bragging, and found two ropes from the yard, and asked Dongfang to help him tie Liu Sisi and Wei Jianzhong tightly to the chair.
Then he came to the yard again, took out a signal bomb, and shot it into the sky with a whoosh.
The signal bomb exploded into a golden flower in the dark night sky.
"What are they doing?" Wei Dali looked up at the flowers created by the flares in the sky and asked blankly.
"Do you want to go in and take a look?"
Wei Daniu's eyes bulged with anger, and he raised his hand and hit Wei Dali's head hard.
"What did the master order?! We are not allowed to go in without his permission!"
"You keep yelling about going in, what do you want to do? What do you want to do?" Wei Daniu stared at his companion fiercely.
Wei Dali lowered his head and murmured, "Suddenly there was no sound. Then they suddenly made that flower. I'm just curious."
"Brother, what were they doing just now?" Wei Dali smiled, pointed his index finger upwards, and raised his eyes to look at Wei Daniu.
"Those are fireworks, fireworks that rich people set off, do you understand?!" Wei Daniu looked very proud.
"Maybe the old man regretted it again, so he set off some fireworks to appease his wife."
Two quarters of an hour later, the second prince's confidant, along with Xia Zhengqi's 30 secret guards, surrounded the outer house in Tongluo Lane.
The secret guards who had rushed in tied up all the servants in the house.
When the secret guards ran to the gate of the west courtyard and put knives on the necks of Wei Daniu and Wei Dali, the two were still immersed in the bragging and farting just now, and hadn't come back to their senses.
"I see, you are the helpers that Lord Wei recruited from the imperial guards, right?" Wei Dali suddenly burst into a happy smile.
"Lord Wei is in there, and the adulterer is in there too, go catch them!"
The leading secret guard ignored him and ordered in a stern voice: "Tie them up and gag them."
Wei Daniu glared at Wei Dali with a look of hatred: "You idiot!"
Wei Dali looked at the secret guards with a puzzled look on his face: "My Lords, are you mistaken? We are a group. You are here to catch the adulterer, and we brothers are here to guard the door..."
Before he finished speaking, a piece of rag was stuffed into Wei Dali's mouth. When
the second prince heard the sound, he immediately unbolted the door and let the secret guards in.
When they broke into the room, Wei Jianzhong and Liu Sisi were still leaning on the chairs and sleeping.
"Did you faint?" The leading secret guard cast a questioning look at the second prince.
"Incense." The second prince smiled triumphantly.
Several secret guards carried the two men out, and the rest of the people moved the stolen money.
It took a full hour to move all 20 four-and-a-half-foot-tall wooden boxes out.
After opening the lid of the box, they saw that it was filled with gold and silver ingots, jade, agate, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
Everyone present opened their mouths in shock.
At this time, Wei Jianzhong was lying crookedly on the open space in the front yard. He slowly opened his eyes, with a look of confusion and surprise.
When his searching eyes swept across Dongfang Lingyun, he immediately showed a ferocious look: "Ah! You...you...you! You adulterer actually..."
Dongfang Lingyun was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed Wei Jianzhong's headscarf, rolled it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Um...um..." Wei Jianzhong stared at Dongfang Lingyun angrily, still making unwilling sounds in his mouth.
The second prince looked at Dongfang slyly and gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Dongfang, you are so good!"
"It's all because of you. My reputation as the great Master Dongfang was almost ruined." Dongfang Lingyun glanced at the second prince and whispered.
That night, Wei Jianzhong was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice to await trial.
In Yu's study, Xia Zhengqi held Xia Miaoyuan and listened to the prince's report on the results of the search in Jiang's mansion with great joy.
"Good, Chengwan, we finally found the letters between them." Xia Zhengqi's face was filled with smiles.
[Wow, the prince is really good, he actually found the secret room of old man Jiang! ]
Xia Miaoyuan stared at the prince with a pair of big dark eyes and looked at the prince happily.
Xia Zhengqi paced happily: "With these letters as evidence, plus the stolen money found by Cheng Feng and Ying Chen in the villa, we are almost certain to win now."
"Now I will catch them all in one fell swoop."
The prince's face showed some worry: "Father, I'm afraid things are not that easy..."
