Su Li said: "Xiao Ye, you should go back to the dance hall now and bring Yu Fengzhu to the mansion. I'm afraid Xiao Shaokun will harm him..."
In the original novel, Xiao Shaokun once broke into a man's house at night and kidnapped him because he failed to harass him.
If Yu Fengzhu had stayed in the dance hall, nothing would have happened. After all, the owner of the dance hall, a man who could become the richest man, how could he not have some backing? He had the responsibility and ability to protect the people in the dance hall. But if Yu Fengzhu ran out of the dance hall by himself, it would be hard to say.
Not to mention anything else, if Yu Fengzhu was kidnapped on the way to the mansion, the account books and lists related to Princess Rongfu on him would definitely be discovered.
If the account books and lists were discovered in the mansion of the Earl of Qingping, it would mean that Concubine Xiao would also know about it. Given the close relationship between Concubine Xiao and Princess Rongfu, there was a possibility that she would really keep it a secret for her.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "If someone bothers you on the road, don't be polite, but don't kill them."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Xiao Ye went out again.
Then Su Li sent Xiao Wu away and went out of the hall and into the study.
In the study.
Su Li sat quietly at the desk, recalling the stories about Xiao Shaokun in the original book.
Xiao Shaokun is not just a playboy who indulges in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling as he appears to be. Although he has some minor quarrels, he has never caused any major trouble.
He was fond of homosexuality and was particularly brutal in bed, killing many men. However, this matter was covered up by his mother who doted on him extremely and himself, and no one had discovered it for many years.
In the original novel, half a year later, it was revealed that he had killed many young men over the years. In addition to young prostitutes and actors and actresses who had no relatives, there were also many men from poor families who were abducted by him without anyone noticing.
The person who exposed him was the sister of one of the men.
When the sister learned that her brother was killed by him, she sold herself into slavery and hid in the Qingping Earl's mansion for many years. Only then did she find evidence of Xiao Shaokun's long-term evil deeds. After that, she directly beat the drum of grievance to avenge her brother...
Now that Xiao Shaokun has entangled with Yu Fengzhu, she is afraid that he will not let it go so easily, especially since Yu Fengzhu will have more contact with her in the future. In order to prevent him from doing something irreparable to Yu Fengzhu, she must get rid of Xiao Shaokun first. Anyway, he is not a good guy, and since he ran into her, she just happened to get rid of him.
With this in mind, she picked up her pen, dipped it in ink, and based on her memory of the original novel, began to list Xiao Shaokun's crimes on paper...
After an unknown amount of time, when Su Li finally finished listing the charges, Yu Fengzhu arrived.
Xiao Wu invited everyone to the main hall, while Xiao Ye went to the west wing to report to Su Li, holding his chest.
"Madam, Xiao Shaokun has indeed brought people to kidnap Master Yu!"
Su Li frowned: "Are you injured?"
Xiao Ye said: "It's a minor injury, nothing serious."
That person was extremely sinister. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, otherwise she would have been seriously injured.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Ye replied, "When Master Yu and I were walking along a secluded stretch of road, Xiao Shaokun was already waiting there with his men. While I was engaging his men, Xiao Shaokun took advantage of my inattention and tried to capture Master Yu. Just as I was about to attack him, a secret guard suddenly appeared beside him and attacked me. Xiao Shaokun then told him to take Master Yu away, but the secret guard ignored him and took Xiao Shaokun away."
Secret Guard...
Su Li seemed to be lost in thought.
Although Xiao Shaokun is a playboy, he comes from a noble family and is loved by his grandmother, parents and grandparents. It is not surprising if he has secret guards protecting him.
According to Xiao Ye, the secret guard was only responsible for protecting his safety and would not be involved in other matters.
Not getting involved in his affairs can only mean that this secret guard is not Xiao Shaokun's own man, but perhaps just someone sent by Lord Qingping to protect him.
However, the secret guard who had been following him must have known about the evil deeds he had done. But in the original novel, when Xiao Shaokun was exposed, Lord Qingping knew nothing about it. I don’t know whether he really knew nothing or was pretending to know nothing. Could it be that this secret guard was not Lord Qingping’s?
"Is there anything wrong with Yugong Fengzhu?" Su Li asked again.
"Young Master Yu was not injured."
Su Li nodded: "I'll go see him, you go down and rest, and ask your mother to get a doctor to see you."
Xiao Ye was deeply touched by the Madam's concern for a servant like her, and quickly declined: "Madam, this injury is something I got every day when I was young practicing martial arts. I just need to apply some medicine when I go back and it will be healed. There is no need to call a doctor."
Seeing this, Su Li did not force it, but just said: "If you feel uncomfortable, remember to see a doctor in time."
Xiao Ye replied, "Thank you for your concern, Madam. I will take my leave now."
"Well, go ahead."
Xiao Ye went out, and Su Li followed him out to the main room.
In the main hall.
Yu Fengzhu stood up immediately upon seeing her coming and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to Madam because of my matter..."
Su Li waved her hand slightly without caring: "This is not your problem, no need to apologize, please take a seat, Master Yu."
The two of them sat down. At this time, Xiao Wu came in with freshly brewed tea. After pouring tea for the two of them, he stepped behind Su Li.
Su Li continued, "Xiao Shaokun is so abhorrent for doing whatever he wants. Don't worry, I will find a way to deal with him..."
Yu Fengzhu couldn't help but be surprised. In the past two days, the whole capital had been spreading the news about the Duke Ji's Mansion. She also knew that Su Li's husband was the eldest son and grandson who had just been recognized as a relative of the Duke Ji's Mansion. Therefore, she had the confidence to say such words.
But although Xiao Shaokun was born in a baron's mansion and his title was far inferior to that of Duke Ji, his elder sister was the most favored concubine in the palace, and he also had a prince who was most likely to become the crown prince.
Who would easily offend such a person? Why bother to offend him, especially for someone like him who has no relatives or friends.
He shook his head and said, "Madam, I appreciate your kindness. In fact, as long as I don't leave the dance hall, he can't do anything to me. Please don't worry about me."
In the future, as long as he can clear his father's grievances, he will flee far away from the capital. What can Xiao Shaokun do to him?
But Su Li was different. Her husband was an official appointed by the imperial court, and she would definitely take root here in the future. If Concubine Xiao's son really became the crown prince, she would be resented for offending the Qingping Earl's Mansion today...
As if aware of his concerns, Su Li simply didn't say much about it. He just nodded in response and then talked about the business: "Do you have the list and account book with you?"
Yu Fengzhu nodded and took out a box from his body. Xiao Wu stepped forward, took it, opened the box, and placed it in front of Su Li.
Inside the box were an account book and a directory. Su Li picked up the directory and flipped through it, confirming that the contents were consistent with the one Pei Ji had in the original novel. Then he closed it and said, "I called you here today because something unexpected happened, so I moved up the planned time."
