Chapter 169 Flower House
Chapter 169 Flower House
"Good, good, the princess is really a kind person." The old man couldn't help but praise.
"If the old man needs my help with anything else, please tell me." Yu Wangfei said deliberately.
Yu Wangfei would say this to every patient who came to see her for consultation. She really wanted to see how the people of Ping County evaluated the county magistrate.
After being busy for a whole morning, no one came to tell her about it. Could it be that they had wronged Zhao Guorong?
After the old man left, Yu Wangfei fell into deep thought. This was the fastest way she could think of to understand the situation in Ping County, but she didn't gain anything, which made her feel a little dejected.
Chu Yuheng happened to see what was on her mind, so he took the initiative to walk over, sat down on the patient's seat, and asked with concern: "Don't be sad, I have other ways here, do you want to know?"
Hearing this, Yu Wangfei raised her head and found Chu Yuheng's face. She smiled happily and said, "What advice do you have, Your Majesty?"
"Human skin mask." He smiled and put his hands on the table.
Yu Wangfei also took the opportunity to check his pulse: "Good idea."
How could she forget the mask? If the people didn't dare to say more because of her identity, why not just change into someone else's identity?
"This guest is in good health." Yu Wangfei put away the acupuncture bag.
"The doctor made a wrong diagnosis." Chu Yuheng stood up and pretended to be heartbroken. "I can't sleep at night because I miss someone so much."
The patient behind them saw Chu Yuheng stand up and sat over directly, catching both of them off guard.
Chu Yuheng didn't know whether he had just said anything or not. He looked around awkwardly and then coughed, as if to say that he hadn't said anything just now.
But that person ignored Chu Yuheng and just looked at Yu Wangfei excitedly: "Princess, please save my sister."
Upon hearing this, Yu Wangfei's expression changed slightly. This was the first call for help she had heard today.
"Tell me in detail." Yu Wangfei's face turned cold.
"My sister was kidnapped by that bastard Zhao Guorong, and is now being held captive in a brothel!" The man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tears could not stop falling.
"What's your sister's name?"
"Wu Feng'er, my name is Wu Dagui." The man clenched his fists nervously, his eyes filled with resentment and fear towards Zhao Guorong. "Over the years, Zhao Guorong has been doing evil things in Ping County, bullying decent women and sending all the women he kidnapped to brothels. It's a pity that I don't have the ability to save my sister from the dire straits."
"Okay, I know about your story. Next." Yu Wangfei waved his hand, signaling him to leave first.
But how could Wu Dagui let go of the life-saving straw he had finally grasped? He refused to give in and held on to the table desperately: "Princess, please save my sister, please save my sister."
"This princess is diagnosing and treating illnesses. You should go to County Magistrate Zhao to save lives." Yu Wangfei lowered her eyes and no longer looked at him.
Seeing this, Chu Yuheng raised his hand, grabbed Wu Dagui by the collar and threw him out of the stall.
After seeing this, the rest of the people retreated one after another and did not dare to step forward again. It was true that officials protected each other. Even the princess and the prince were thinking about Zhao Guorong.
At this moment they felt a little disappointed with Yu Wangfei.
Yu Wangfei did this for Wu Dagui's own good. She just wanted to collect evidence of Zhao Guorong's crime so as to conduct an in-depth investigation, and she could not guarantee that Zhao Guorong would be put in jail immediately.
Who knows, Zhao Guorong's spies might still be around her. If he knew that Wu Dagui came to find her and she agreed to help, Wu Dagui might die in the next second.
After Wu Dagui left, Chu Yuheng specially sent a secret guard to secretly protect his life.
Not long after, the people in front of the stall gradually dispersed. Seeing this, Yu Wangfei closed the stall and went home with Chu Yuheng.
When Wan Pingshen saw them coming back, he immediately told them the news he had gathered in the city today.
It turned out that Zhao Guorong had been in Ping County for many years and had been oppressing the people, even adjusting the tax rates privately, making the people miserable. It was not that they had not thought about going to the capital to file a complaint, but every time they were besieged before they arrived in the capital.
Moreover, almost all those who went to file complaints with the emperor died violent deaths, so they dared not speak out anymore.
The three of them sat in the yard and analyzed the situation. They thought that they should start with the people around Zhao Guorong, and gradually win the hearts of the people and constables in Ping County, so as to successfully capture Zhao Guorong.
"Why hasn't Lu Xiaoting come back yet?" Yu Wangfei asked puzzledly.
Even if she went out shopping, she should be back by this time.
"Don't worry, she's pretty good at fighting and she won't lose." Chu Yuheng picked up the teacup and took a sip.
In his opinion, Lu Xiaoting was quite skilled in martial arts and she was also the only daughter of General Lu. No one would be so bold as to attack her.
Seeing that Chu Yuheng didn't care, Yu Wangfei simply ignored it.
After nightfall, she still hadn't seen Lu Xiaoting come back, and Xiao Cui hadn't come back either. Could something really have happened?
Yu Wangfei suddenly felt uneasy. Although she didn't like Lu Xiaoting, she wished that this person would stay away from her.
But she is General Lu's only daughter after all, and she is related to Chu Fei and Chu Yuheng's major plans, so nothing can go wrong in Ping County.
So, Yu Wangfei wanted to go out and look for it. For safety reasons, she took a dagger with her.
Ping County was not familiar to her. It was even more frighteningly quiet after nightfall. It was not like the capital and Jiangnan where night markets were open. There was not a single person to be seen on the long street, and no lights were on in any shop.
As he walked, Yu Wangfei felt a chill on his back and then fainted.
When she woke up again, she felt as if she had been slapped by someone and her face was burning with pain. She looked around and found herself in a room full of exotic atmosphere.
"Wake up." A woman next to her glared at her nonchalantly.
Following the figure, Yu Wangfei saw Lu Xiaoting sitting beside the bed, looking at him with disdain.
"Why are you here? Where is this?" Yu Wangfei asked vigilantly. She rubbed her arms and found that she was not tied up. She struggled to stand up, walked to the table, and poured herself a glass of water.
"Why should I tell you? I was knocked unconscious by that Xiao Cui and brought here." Lu Xiaoting shrugged, "And you were thrown in by them. Besides, if you want to get out, you can only rely on me."
It was all her fault for not listening to Chu Yuheng and paying close attention to Xiao Cui. She actually took advantage of the opportunity and knocked her out and imprisoned her here. If she were given another chance, Lu Xiaoting would definitely tie Xiao Cui up!
"Aren't you good at boxing and kicking? How could you be knocked out by a maid?" Yu Wangfei said sarcastically.
