Chapter 203: Has the bait been put on the fish?(1/2)
Wu Sanqi paused to the two of them,
"I think back now that although she has little truth to me, I can see this sentence. The hope in her eyes was sincere... and then we turned against each other..."
Wu Sanqi looked at his daughter who was sleeping in his arms and sighed,
"So many years have passed, and I don't know if she has had a daughter with someone else, or just wants to take revenge on me. Maybe she has captured Zhen'er because of this?"
As he said that, he thought about it and shook his head,
"But... it doesn't make sense why she must have Zhen'er. She... has so many people outside, why don't she give birth to one of her own?"
Pei He said coldly,
"Didn't the two maids say that she is sick and cannot give birth to children!"
Wu Xin'an looked at Wu Sanqi,
"If Gu Ji is really Xi Hongyan, what are your plans for uncle?"
Wu Sanqiu gritted his teeth and said,
"This is the debt I owe in my early years. I am the only one who will bear it. I can't let them and my daughter bear it for me. At worst... I will die with her!"
Luo Yuandao, who was sitting cross-speaking, finally spoke at this time. He opened his eyes and looked at Wu Sanqi.
"Junior brother, I didn't expect that after so many years, your temperament is still so impulsive. Even if you don't want to yourself, do you even ignore your wife and daughter?"
Wu Sanqi smiled bitterly,
"What my senior brother taught me is that, but... she is now a concubine of Prince Yu's mansion, but I am a small citizen. If she talks about the rules of the world and fights one-on-one, I will only fight for my life, I am afraid that she will use the power of the government..."
After saying that, his eyes swept over Pei He and Wu Xin'an, and looked at Luo Yuandaodao.
"I don't want to implicate any of you!"
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with officials, and she is just appointing King Yu, which is a big backer. If he is determined, Wu Sanqi will really have no way to do anything!
Luo Yuandao shook his head and said,
"What my junior brother said is some truth, but what she is doing is not enough and she dares to make too much money. If you plan it properly, you will not be able to escape this disaster!"
Wu Sanqi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"According to the senior brother's wishes?"
Luo Yuan Dao responds to the Tao,
"I want to make her meet you. With us on the side and helping you, I can't tell you how to turn the world around!"
When he said this, a cold light flashed in the Taoist priest's eyes. In his opinion, this woman is a demon and a crooked way. Everyone can kill him in the right way. It would be fine if he didn't violate him. Now that he has violated him, both public and private should take action!
Pei He nodded,
"Master Luo's words are reasonable. So what if she is the concubine of Prince Yu's mansion? After all, it's not Prince Yu himself. Why can't we fight with her? This matter is her captive!"
Wu Sanqi was a rebellious person. If he hadn't left his family and business, he would have been wandering around the world for ten years. Now he has a family, a wife and a daughter, and it is inevitable that his children will have a long relationship. A little hero is short of breath. However, the words of his senior brother and Pei He have aroused his aura of being dormant in his heart. He couldn't help but laugh,
"I'm right, why am I afraid of her? It's her fault that she's stubborn? Why can't I fight back?"
...
In the capital, in the study of Prince Yu's mansion, King Yu, wearing a Confucian shirt, sat upright in the study. Opposite the chessboard was the stunning beauty. King Yu had white face, soft eyebrows, and medium figure. When he saw his face, he was the extremely gentle man. At this time, he was asking the beauty opposite in confusion.
"Wanwan, what's the matter? But a slave who was washing clothes ran away. Why bother to chase him? He has been chasing him for a day and has not brought him back. He probably ran away... Just follow the Lone King's eyes and let it go!"
When the beauty heard this, she pouted, threw the chess piece in her hand, and said in a sweet voice,
"It's not a valuable thing. The servant washed my favorite golden-thread skirt with a hundred birds paying phoenix. It would have been washed. In order to cover up the evidence, she tied my skirt with stones and threw it into the lake. If it weren't for the nannies in the backyard to salvage the water plants, this would have been impossible to make a fuss..."
King Yu smiled,
"Just just a piece of clothing, the Lone King will buy you another one!"
Gu Ji said angrily,
"Prince... This is not a matter of clothing. If everyone in this mansion is like that girl and runs away if they do something wrong, then will the royal mansion become a royal mansion in the future? It looks small, but it is related to the face of the royal mansion. You must find a way to catch the girl and punish him severely!"
King Yu thought about it after hearing this,
"Wanwan, right, this matter is small, but it is a big deal if the rules are broken..."
Paused,
"However, too many people have been sent out, which has disturbed the peace of the people. I am afraid that the censors will write memorials to impeach the orphan king. You...you should do some things!"
This is acquiescence!
Gu Ji hurriedly smiled when she heard this,
"Don't worry, my lord, I know the right way!"
The two of them played chess in the study for half a day. When they saw noon, someone came to report outside.
"Prince, the guards who were chasing the escaped slaves outside have returned, saying that they have found the escaped slaves!"
"Oh...is it, come in and talk back!"
A short while outside, someone came in and knelt on the ground to report.
"Report to Prince, Wang Ji, the escaped slave has already found it ten miles west of the city... The young man came back to report the news first, and the rest are still searching..."
"oh……"
King Yu was still waiting for a closer question, but the woman around him spoke first.
"Then the escape slave is alone?"
The guard responded,
"It's not alone. There is a middle-aged man and a little girl around me. When the man saw me chasing us, he shouted at us..."
"Scream...what is his name?"
A strange light flashed in Gu Ji's eyes, but the guards looked puzzled and replied,
"He is... what Xi Hongyan, if you want to steal my daughter, I will shake off your true feelings even if I try my best!"
This was heard by King Yu and the guards. It was a headless and endless, but Gu Ji's expression froze, and the cold light flashed in her eyes. King Yu said,
"Who wants to steal his child? What does he have to do with my king's escaped slave?"
The guard responded,
"Reporting to the prince, Xiaodi was also very confused... He could only wait until someone took it down before interrogating..."
But Gu Ji said coldly,
"It's just that the bad guy was forced to speak nonsense..."
He paused and ordered,
"…If they resist, they will kill them on the spot..."
The guard glanced at King Yu, but King Yu reached out to stroke his smooth chin.
"This... Wanwan, there is no need to do this. Just catch it and leave it to the yamen to deal with it according to law!"
But Gu Ji responded,
"Didn't the prince say that such a lawless slave should be punished severely to establish prestige. If it is brought back and handed over to the yamen, outsiders will know that it is the yamen who enforces the law impartially, but they will not say that you are a yamen who are in powering the law impartially, but you will not say that you are a sager. You may even laugh at your weak personality and you will not even dare to deal with a slave!"
The guard who was kneeling down at the bottom lowered his head and said intimately,
"There is no need to kill slaves to establish their authority. Who in the capital knows that our prince has no temper!"
Look, Prince Yi’s soft ears must nod in agreement!
Sure enough, King Yu nodded after pondering for a moment,
"All right!"
"yes!"
The guard took the order and was about to go, but Gu Ji called him again.
"Slowly... Although the escaped slaves must be severely punished, the child is innocent. Do not involve the child they bring, and bring the child back!"
"yes!"
The guard bowed and retreated, and the voice of King Yu came from the study.
"Wanwan is indeed not that cruel person..."
When it was dark, the news came back, saying that the escaped slave and the middle-aged man had fled into the dense forest in the mountains. The man kept cursing the woman named Xi Hongyan, saying that if he forced them again, he would not let her succeed even if he took the child to jump off the cliff.
In the boudoir, the woman sitting in front of the mirror looked cold,
"Waste! A bunch of waste!"
"Lixiu, pack up and let's go!"
Lianxiu looked carefully at the distorted master.
"Master, are you going to come here in person?"
