The man’s eyes widened in horror.
Song Wangyue walked up slowly, a smile on the corner of her mouth, glanced lightly at the man and nodded towards Sheriff Liu, “Please trouble Sheriff Liu.”
In these few days, because of the case of Xiao Yao’s abduction, Sheriff Liu had been scolded by the capital’s magistrate I don’t know how many times for his dog’s blood, and now that he had caught one of those spying on the Xu residence, I thought the lord would be a little happier.
“Don’t worry, Miss Song, we will definitely give you an explanation.”
“Many thanks.”
Sheriff Liu led his men away.
Song Wan Yue looked at the man’s back, the smile at the corner of her mouth deepened, if she guessed correctly, that should be Zheng Fan’s men, they were guarding the entrance of Xu Mansion, they wanted to find out the whereabouts of Xu Ling’er, she was worried that there was no chance to trouble Zheng Fan, since the man had sent her to her door, she would not be polite.
“Go back to the Xu Mansion.”
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the mansion.
When the watchman saw Song Wangyue returning from her trip, he hurriedly greeted her, “Miss Sun, did you leave something behind?”
“Mm.”
Song Wangyue simply answered and entered the courtyard.
The caretaker was scratching his head behind him.
He had heard clearly what Uncle Xu and Miss Sun had said just now. Miss Sun had clearly said that she had only left her clothes behind and would come back for them another day.
After walking into the courtyard, Song Wangyue turned on her heels and went to Mr. Er’s courtyard.
The second gentleman’s courtyard and this courtyard are separated by a wall, with a moon gate in the middle, and the subordinate there recognises her. Seeing her passing, they greeted her, “Miss Sun, you’re here.”
Song Wan Yue nodded, “I’m looking for Second Grandfather.”
The servant led her through.
At noon, Mr Xu’s family also ate at Mr Lao’s place, and Song Wan Yue went back after Mr Lao took his lunch break.
At this moment, when he saw Song Wangyue coming, Mr. Xu was puzzled, “Yue’er, is something wrong?”
Song Wangyue looked serious, “Yes.”
The second gentleman’s heart fluttered, “What has happened?”
“When I was walking just now I saw someone spying on the Xu Mansion, so I asked the coachman to report the case, Sheriff Liu came over with his men and arrested the man, I didn’t dare to tell my maternal great grandfather and came over to you.”
Mr. Er was shocked, “Spying on the Xu Mansion?”
Song Wan Yue nodded, “It looks like it should have been some time ago.”
Second Mister Xu immediately got up, “Go, go to the Capital Mansion.”
……
Inside the Capital Mansion.
When he learnt that Sheriff Liu had caught a man spying on the Xu family, the Governor of the Capital was also shocked. This man was tired of living. He looked at the man who was tied up and thrown on the ground, and gave a heavy slap on the wooden hall, “If you don’t want to suffer, then explain honestly who ordered you to spy on the Xu family.”
The bound man dared not say anything, if he did, the son would still skin him when he returned.
He argued, “I didn’t spy on the Xu family, I was just passing by.”
The man fell forward to the ground and blood immediately flowed from his nose.
The man was about to scream in pain when Sheriff Liu’s foot stepped on his back, and the man could not even breathe as he was stepped on.
It was as if the capital magistrate had not seen him.
The day the Duke of Determination relieved him in front of the emperor, he was grateful in his heart, and after he returned, all the people at the mouth of the government put aside the matters at hand to investigate the incident of that day, but so many days have passed, but no trace has been found out, and he does not even have the face to see the Duke of Determination.
He took a warrant and threw it on the ground, “Use torture!”
……
When Mr. Xu Er and Song Wan Yue arrived, the man could not resist the torture and was confessing intermittently.
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
Even if you spy on the Xu family, you could at least send a more resourceful one, send such a stupid one and be caught red-handed, if he doesn’t ……
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
The head of the capital minister hurt even more, “Let them in.”
Before they could enter the hall, they saw the man lying on the ground, Mr. Xu looked serious and bowed to the Governor.
He dared not accept it and hastily avoided it, speaking first, “We’ve already interrogated him, he’s from the An Guo Marquis’ residence.”
Mr. Xu was stunned, then he thought of something, and his expression sank as he said, “Please go and invite the Shizi to come, I want to ask him face to face, what is the reason for sending people to spy on my Xu family?”
Immediately, the capital magistrate sent Sheriff Liu to go personally.
Sheriff Liu rode his horse and dismounted not far from the entrance to the An Guo Gong Mansion, tied his horse to the stakes, walked to the door, took out his token and showed it to the gatekeeper, explaining his intention and emphasizing, “His Excellency has said that he would like the Shizi to come over in person.”
The watchman did not dare to be slow and ran quickly to report, Zheng Fan happened to be in the mansion and heard the watchman’s man’s words and stood up, “What did you say?”
The watchman repeated.
Zheng Fan kicked the table next to him over, “Useless thing!”
The butler looked shuddering in his heart and waved his hand to indicate his subordinates to go down, cautiously giving an idea, “This matter is of great importance, Shi Zi should first send someone to ask the Grand Prince for an idea.”
“You stall the people, I will go myself.”
The steward answered, and personally went to the door and bowed towards Sheriff Liu, “I’m sorry, the son is not in the palace now, I’ll send someone to look for him right away, Sheriff Liu come in first and have a cup of tea.”
This kind of thing often happens, so Sheriff Liu didn’t think much of it and went in to have a cup of tea with him.
Zheng Fan went out through the back door and went to the Grand Prince’s residence with a fast horse.
After hearing this, the Grand Prince got up and walked around the house a few times. Zheng Fan could not go to the Capital Mansion, once he did, when his father heard the news, he would naturally guess that he was behind the manipulation, and if this caused his father’s dislike, it would be more than worth the loss.
“Go to the Xu residence with a heavy gift, and confess everything to the old man, saying that you really love Xu Ling’er and have done such an irrational thing, and ask for his consent to the marriage in person.”
Zheng Fan answered, and went back to his house with a fast horse, ordered someone to prepare a heavy gift, changed his clothes, and came to the entrance of the Xu residence.
The old gentleman had just woken up and was sitting at the table drinking tea, when he heard the report that the Prince of An Guo had come, he put down his tea in surprise, “May I ask what is the matter?”
“He said he had come to make amends to you.”
“Apologize?”
“That’s what he said.”
The old gentleman stroked his beard and pondered for a moment, “Go and tell him that I am not well and will not see any guests.”
He had never had any dealings with the powerful people in the capital, and naturally he was no exception with the An Guo Gong House. Zheng Fan had suddenly come to his door and said he wanted to make amends, so something must have happened, and he naturally couldn’t just see him now that he hadn’t received the news.
Xu Liang answered, came to the gate and apologetically said the old gentleman’s words, “I’m really sorry for Zheng Shizi, the old gentleman would see you if he was in better health.”
