Chapter 312 Mother~These people are so bad...
"Let's go, leave the palace." Chu Zixi said softly. Although her voice was soft, it revealed firmness and determination.
Following her order, a luxurious carriage drove out of the palace, the wheels rolling, the carriage slowly passed through the bustling streets, outside the window, pedestrians and vendors gathered, it was very lively. However, the people in the carriage had no intention of appreciating this prosperous scene, their minds had already flown to the place where the mystery was about to be solved - Qian's Mansion.
Finally, the carriage stopped in front of a solemn and dignified mansion, which was the location of the Jingzhao Yamen.
Chu Zixi gently lifted a corner of the curtain, her eyes fell on the high hanging plaque of Jingzhao Yamen, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Yu San, send someone to report the case. Someone has died in the Qian Mansion. It's a serious matter and the government needs to intervene and investigate in detail. Yu Si, go to West Street first and continue to boil the herbs I left for the people yesterday." Chu Zixi said softly, her tone firm and decisive.
The two said in unison: "Yes, Master."
Yu San took out a few pieces of silver from his pocket and gently threw them to a ragged beggar on the roadside.
A hint of joy flashed in the beggar's eyes. He subconsciously reached out to take the silver, looked up at Yu San, and thanked him repeatedly.
Yu San whispered a few words, and after hearing the beggar's eyes, a look of sudden enlightenment flashed, and he nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
He put the silver into his arms like a treasure, turned around and hurried towards the gate of Jingzhao Yamen.
Not long after, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard from the yamen. Several yamen runners in official uniforms followed the beggar with serious expressions. It was obvious that they had just received a report and were preparing to go to Qian's house to investigate the situation.
They walked with a brisk pace and sharp eyes, revealing a sense of majesty and justice.
After seeing the scene in front of him, Yu San turned back to the carriage and said, "Master, everything has been completed according to your instructions."
Inside the carriage, after Chu Zixi heard Yu San's words, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile.
She asked softly, "How is Qian Fugui?"
Yu San smiled and replied, "That guy was yelling when he first woke up, but after just one day without food, he started crying and yelling for his parents."
Chu Zixi's voice was low and cold, revealing a chill that could not be ignored. She said, "This kind of person usually eats too much meat and fish, so they can't stand being hungry for one or two meals."
Yu San chuckled after hearing this and asked curiously, "Master, are you planning to release Qian Fugui now? I remember you said before that you would starve him for three days?"
A sly light flashed in Chu Zixi's eyes, and she said jokingly, "If we let him go back now, wouldn't the Qian Mansion become more lively?" There was obvious playfulness in her tone, as if she had already imagined the farce that was about to take place in the Qian Mansion.
Yu San understood Chu Zixi's intention, and a look of sudden enlightenment flashed in his eyes.
Then she nodded respectfully and waved her fingers gently.
A shadow flashed by in an instant, and a secret guard appeared silently and disappeared quickly.
The carriage regained its tranquility for a moment, with only the occasional hawking and children's laughter coming from outside the carriage, adding a bit of vitality to this slightly dull space.
Chu Zixi looked through the slit in the car window at the pedestrians passing by, "How is West Street today?"
Yu San quickly replied, "Master, don't worry. With the help of the secret guards, the people are united and working hard. Master, do you want to go to West Street now?"
Chu Zixi shook her head gently and said, "Let's not go today. Yu Si can go there. Let's go find Xiaobai. I don't know where Xiaobai has gone to act wild." There was a hint of imperceptible tenderness in her words.
"Master, the secret guards said that Yuda and Yuer followed the young master out of the city yesterday."
Chu Zixi frowned slightly when she heard this, "Let the secret guards check where they went when they left the city?"
Yu San responded, made a gesture towards the darkness, and continued driving the carriage forward.
At this time, outside the imperial city, a quaint and exquisite carriage was parked quietly by the roadside. The curtains were lightly dropped, hiding the faces of the people in the car, but it could not hide the dignity and indifference radiating from the inside out.
Occasionally, the clear chirping of birds can be heard from all around, melodiously and gracefully, adding a bit of tranquility and remoteness to the suburbs.
Inside the car, Chu Zixi sat upright, her eyes as deep as the abyss. At this moment, she was staring out of the window, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.
After a stick of incense, a dark guard dressed in black appeared quietly, like a ghost, without making any sound.
He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Princess, I have found out that the young master left the imperial city yesterday with Yu Da and Yu Er, heading east of the city suburbs, and is now in the other courtyard of the Qian Mansion."
Chu Zixi raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said softly, "Oh? Qian Mansion Villa? Yu San, go drive the car. Let's go and see what attracted Xiao Bai's attention and made him have so much fun."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu San immediately waved the whip, and the carriage began to move slowly forward, heading towards the east of the city suburbs.
Not long after, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the gate of Qian's villa.
Chu Zixi gently lifted the curtain, and a fresh and refined figure walked out of the car.
However, before she could stand firm, she heard bursts of screams coming from the yard.
She frowned and looked at Yu San beside her, and the two of them quickened their pace and walked into the yard.
As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Xiaobai holding a wooden stick, with an anger and ferocity in his eyes that was inconsistent with his age.
Every time the stick fell, it was accompanied by a desperate scream.
"noob!"
Hearing Chu Zixi's voice, Jun Bai suddenly looked up at her, his eyes full of surprise.
At the same time, the stick in his hand also flew out of his hand, and he ran towards Chu Zixi like flying, hugged her legs tightly, and shouted in a tender and soft voice: "Mother~ These people are so bad..."
Chu Zixi's heart softened, and she quickly bent down, gently picked up Jun Bai, walked into the hall and sat aside, letting him sit on her lap.
Then, her eyes slowly swept over the people who were lying on the ground, covered with bruises and wailing, and her face gradually became gloomy.
Finally, she patted Jun Bai's back gently and whispered, "What bad things did they do?"
Jun Bai blinked, nodded obediently, and then began to narrate what had happened in earnest.
It turned out that this Qian Mansion villa was actually a sinful place secretly run by Qian Youwang.
He often lured children aged seven or eight here to provide entertainment for wealthy people with special hobbies.
What’s worse, Qian Youwang even dared to openly rob those children with outstanding looks.
