Chapter 156: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 35
Zhao Liu is a good person and is always respectful to his master and his mistress.
But Zhao Ba was a treacherous man. At first, he frequently came to Zhang's shop to take advantage of Zhang the Butcher under the pretext of marrying Zhang Xiaomei. Later, he occasionally saw Liu who had been living in the backyard, and instantly forgot about Zhang Xiaomei.
After that, every time Zhao Ba came to the shop it was to see Liu.
The stupid Liu was soon deceived by Zhao Ba's sweet words and began to dislike the roughness of Zhang the Butcher.
Because Zhang Xiaomei delayed their rare trysts in the backyard, Liu persuaded Zhang Xiaomei to marry her to Wushangou Village, to her poor cousin, and restricted Zhang Xiaomei from going out.
Butcher Zhang is very busy on weekdays. He is either out slaughtering pigs or getting goods, or watching the shop in front. After Zhang Xiaomei got married, it became more convenient for Zhao Ba and Liu to have a tryst in the backyard.
On the day when Zhao Liu got into trouble, Butcher Zhang accepted an invitation to slaughter a pig and went out before dawn. Zhao Ba, who had received the news from his brother in advance, rushed into the city and came to Yongchun Lane.
The two were fooling around in the backyard when Zhao Liu, who had come to the shop earlier, heard the noise. Zhao Liu thought that some scoundrel had taken advantage of the master's absence and sneaked in to take advantage of his master's wife, so he picked up a boning knife and rushed into the backyard.
He kicked the door open and found that the lecher was his eighth brother. Zhao Liu was so angry that he raised his hand to chop Zhao Ba and threatened to sever the brotherhood with Zhao Ba.
Zhao Ba knelt down and begged Zhao Liu not to tell Butcher Zhang, but Zhao Liu refused and turned away.
Zhao Ba chased after him to the shop in front. The furious Zhao Liu waved his hands to try to drive Zhao Ba away, but he slipped and his head got caught on the iron hook.
Zhao Ba was so scared that he ran away.
"Zhao Ba is just a weakling. He confessed everything before my men even tortured him. It is true that Zhao Ba did not kill the man, otherwise he would not have been able to go to the shop to cause trouble with Zhang the butcher afterwards." Chu Yansheng said, "The wound on Zhao Liu's neck was formed all at once, and there is no sign of human pulling or tearing."
"What about Liu? Where did she hide?"
"Zhao Ba came to the shop to make trouble several times, and then kidnapped Liu and hid her in a house in Dinghua Lane. He has been living in Baihua Lane for a while and has not returned to the countryside."
No wonder Zhao Ba was not seen during this riot. It turned out that Butcher Zhang’s most precious thing had been stolen by him!
"That Liu--"
"Liu went with Zhao Ba of her own free will. She rented the house in Dinghua Lane with her own money. It was Liu who told Zhao Ba that Zhang the butcher still had some money in his house, so they could continue to cause trouble at Zhang's shop and demand money."
Gu Li frowned when she heard this. What a bullshit! It was a pity that Butcher Zhang still treated her as a treasure.
Butcher Zhang tolerated the woman's vandalism, but when those people wanted to cause trouble in the backyard, he wielded his knife to fight back without hesitation.
She caught a glimpse of Chu Yansheng drinking water, with a pair of deep black eyes above the teacup. She curled her lips and said calmly, "So, you can't use a wall to confine a woman just because of a marriage. Otherwise, if there's a gust of wind blowing over there, it will attract her to go outside the wall and explore the colorful world outside."
Chu Yansheng put down the cup in his hand and immediately stated, "After the marriage, the county lady can go wherever she wants to play."
Of course, he would try to be by her side.
Gu Li no longer wanted to hear about what happened next at Zhang the Butcher's house. She felt a little disgusted.
Gu Li talked to Chu Yansheng about something else. Seeing that she had been out for quite some time, Chu Yansheng sent her back.
The wedding date with Chu Yansheng was set for September, and Gu Li wanted to settle the grudges in the Prince's Mansion before the wedding.
The carriage stopped in front of the Prince's Mansion, and Gu Li helped Bai Shuang get out of the car.
At this time, a carriage came galloping around the corner of the palace wall on the east side.
Chu Yansheng stood in front of Gu Li at the first moment. Lan Zhu pushed Bai Shuang away with a nimble figure, and she and Lan Yu protected Gu Li on the left and right.
Hoarfrost: -----
Gu Li:----
Gu Li poked her head out from behind Chu Yansheng and tugged at his clothes. "That's my cousin's carriage."
Chu Yansheng lowered his head and saw the little head next to his arm. At such a close distance, he could clearly count the curled eyelashes. "I know, be careful that the carriage doesn't hit you."
Gu Li:----
She's not that weak.
Before the carriage had even stopped, Changfu, Liu Baijiao's servant, crawled out of the carriage using all his limbs.
Changfu's robe was stained with blood. When he saw Gu Li standing on the steps, he immediately shouted, "Cousin, please save the prince! The prince is injured!"
"what happened?"
Chu Yansheng reached out to stop Gu Li who wanted to go forward, and turned around and told her: "Go back to your own yard first, leave everything here to me."
The opened curtain revealed half of Liu Bojiao's pale face. He had his eyes drooped and his right hand covering his left shoulder.
Not the vital point.
Seeing that his life was not in danger for the time being, Gu Li nodded.
Chu Yansheng is now her fiancé, and compared to her ex-fiancé, she still knows how to choose.
When she turned to enter the mansion, she heard Chu Yansheng say to Changfu: "From now on, you should call your cousin the county lady-----"
The corners of Gu Li's mouth rose slowly and silently.
Chu Yansheng had Liu Baijiao sent back to the yard, and asked his servant to invite the imperial physician. The rest of the matters were left to the Princess to handle.
Although Liu Baijiao has no real power, he is a prince after all. Which force has nothing better to do than to assassinate him?
She didn't even need to ask anyone to check. Half an hour later, Lan Zhu gave her the answer.
Since Rui Niang's death, Liu Bojiao fell in love with alcohol. He got drunk every day and stayed in brothels.
Today he fell in love with a pair of sisters who were singing and playing the guitar in the teahouse, and he insisted on redeeming them and bringing them back home to be his concubines.
But the sisters only wanted to make money with their own abilities and were unwilling to sell themselves, which led to Liu Bojiao's robbery.
He forcibly took the sisters to a private residence outside, imprisoned them, and chained them up.
The sisters who were active in the streets were not to be trifled with. They took advantage of Liu Baijiao's dismissal of his servants and injured him in an attempt to escape.
"Did the sisters escape?" Gu Li was curious. "Lanzhu, how did you know so quickly?"
Lan Zhu replied respectfully: "Those two people are still being guarded in the private residence by the prince's men. These are the information that the prince sent to check and passed to me."
It turned out that after Chu Yansheng arranged for Liu Baijiao, he immediately went to investigate the reasons for the assassination. It must be said that this man was very thoughtful and very much to her liking.
Knowing that she likes to listen to gossip, especially about Liu Bojiao, she doesn't want to miss any of it.
Liu Baijiao's injury was not very serious, but he had never had his skin broken since he was a child, and he was bleeding profusely after being stabbed by the dagger, and he was frightened by the wound.
After a few days of rest at home, Liu Baijiao took his men out again.
I guess he went to settle the score with those sisters.
Gu Li tilted her head and looked at Lan Zhu and Lan Yu, "Which of you two has better Qinggong skills? Can you follow the prince to find out what's going on in the private residence?"
Lan Zhu stood up.
"Very good, go ahead. It doesn't matter if you are discovered. Just say that I sent you to protect your cousin because I was worried about him. Pay attention to your own safety."
This time, Liu Baijiao brought the palace's personal guards with him. They were the standard sword-carrying guards of the royal family, not ordinary servants.
