Chapter 295 Shut up!
There were footsteps outside the door, and Bai Youyou quickly crawled on the ground and got in.
Manager Chen asked the guards in the villa to search for the person room by room, while he stood outside Jiang Hui's door, pacing, feeling caught in a dilemma.
This master is grumpy when getting up. He played until midnight yesterday and he definitely won’t get up until the afternoon.
But that young lady is now......
If I had known this would happen, I should have found a deserted place and killed her to silence her.
Manager Chen was filled with remorse.
"You stupid girl, if I catch you this time, I will not let you live!"
Bai Youyou hid under Jiang Hui's bed. She vaguely heard his yelling and swearing, and pursed her lips tightly.
She rode in a carriage all the way, and wore a veil when she got off the carriage. No one had ever seen her except a few maids and servants in the mansion.
These people didn't kill me because they were afraid that there were other sailors on the ship at that time. Now that she was in my territory, if I really wanted to kill her quietly to silence her, no one would know.
Jiang Hui, who was lying on the bed, was disturbed by his voice. He kicked the thin quilt irritably, turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
Manager Chen waited and waited but he didn't see him wake up, so he simply went to the front yard again and took his men to continue searching for Bai Youyou's whereabouts.
When the sun was about to set, Jiang Hui finally woke up.
Manager Chen walked in cautiously and reported to him about Bai Youyou.
"Master, I don't know where Bai Youyou has hidden in the mansion. I sent people to look for her for a whole day but couldn't find her..."
Jiang Hui paused as he pinched his forehead with his hand, and his cold eyes shot towards him, "That little bitch ran away?!"
"It's impossible to get out of the villa without a guide. She must be hiding in some corner."
Manager Chen met his terrifying gaze and his tongue became tangled with nervousness.
"Since he is still in the villa, we should find him out."
Jiang Hui didn't care.
Even he has no idea of the way around this villa, so Bai Youyou definitely won’t be able to get out.
Manager Chen also thought so, otherwise he would not have dared to lock her up in the west yard without anyone watching over her every day.
Looking at the delicate little girl, how could she be climbing the wall like a monkey?
Manager Chen had no choice but to take people to search in the villa again. After three days of searching, he still couldn't find the person and blisters appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Bai Youyou's life hiding under the bed was not easy. Listening to the indescribable sounds coming from the bed every day was simply torture.
"Ahhh" In just two minutes, the torture lasted for two hours.
"what!!!"
Ah ah, the shrill screams rang out again.
Bai Youyou covered her ears and closed her eyes.
During these three days, when he was hungry, he would come out and steal a piece of cake and fruit prepared in the room. Sarah was in the clean room next to it.
"what!!!"
"boom!"
A naked woman with whip marks all over her body fell off the bed.
Bai Youyou opened her eyes and met those frightened eyes. Both of them were stunned.
Bai Youyou stretched out her index finger and put it on her lips, and the girl subconsciously swallowed her scream.
"what!!!"
The whip with tiny barbs fell on her body. The girl curled up in pain, holding her head with both hands and screaming miserably.
Bai Youyou watched the blood slowly spread from the ground, her eyes widened, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The screams lasted for a full half hour, and then the naked woman on the ground suddenly stopped screaming and her body became motionless.
Without the exciting sound, Jiang Hui lost interest. He kicked the woman on the ground and then dropped the whip in his hand.
"Come here, carry Aunt Cao back and take good care of her."
The maids came in shivering, two of them wrapped the person on the ground in a cloak and carried him out, while the other maid was scrubbing the floor with a rag.
Bai Youyou moved inward, trying to get as close to the wall as possible.
The maid wiped it bit by bit and slowly moved to the side of the bed.
Bai Youyou looked outside nervously, and when she saw the maid approaching little by little, she suddenly held her breath.
On the other side, Lu Chen followed the previous clues and found Yucheng.
"Seventh Young Master, this is Yucheng. Beyond that is the border. Why would someone from the Yongning Marquis' Mansion come here?"
Lu Liu looked at the towering city gate in front of him, his heart full of doubts.
"We'll know once we find the person. First, we'll find a place to stay in the city, and then we'll split up to get information."
They were wearing veil hats and there were many people in the group. If you have seen such a team with obvious signs, you would have remembered it.
The reason why Lu Chen and his team were able to catch up to Yucheng so quickly was because they grasped this point.
This place is close to the border, and when Lu Chen and his companions revealed their identities, the soldiers guarding the city immediately became respectful.
"Master Lu."
Lu Chen took the token and asked in a gentle voice, "Has any strange convoy entered Yucheng recently?"
Before entering the city gate, everyone would get off the car for routine inspection, and it would be most convenient to ask the people guarding the city.
Wang Er, who was guarding the city, thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I've never seen it."
"Have you ever seen a person wearing a white veil riding in a carriage?"
This sign was the most obvious and Wang Er was deeply impressed.
It happened to be his turn on duty that day. A convoy of carriages was about to enter the city, and he was about to conduct a routine inspection. As a result, the man stuffed a five-liang silver ingot into his pocket.
After receiving the money, he casually lifted the curtain of the car, pretended to take a look, and then let the person in.
"Never seen it before."
His eyes flickered, and Lu Chen realized that he was lying.
Those who came with Lu Chen were all good spies and could see through the trick at a glance.
Lu Chen didn't ask any more questions. He nodded at him and led his men into the city.
After reaching a corner, Lu Liu quietly turned back.
At the city gate, Liu Qi, who was beside Wang Er, looked at him with confusion, "Brother Wang, that day——"
Wang Er turned his head and glared at him, interrupting him and whispering in his ear, "Why, do you have to let people know that you and I neglected our duties and accepted bribes?"
Liu Qi also received a half tael of silver as a benefit that day. In addition, his family had spent a lot of money to get this gatekeeper job, so he certainly couldn't lose this job because of this.
His heart tightened and he shook his head quickly.
"Shut your mouth!"
Wang Er gave some instructions and turned around to check the passing vehicles and pedestrians.
As the sun was setting, other people came to take over the shift. Wang Er hummed a little tune and walked slowly home.
When I walked into a deserted alley, a hand suddenly rested on my shoulder.
"what!!!"
Wang Er was startled and instantly collapsed to the ground.
He lay on his back on the ground, and when he saw Lu Liu, the fear on his face faded away.
He wanted to curse a few words, but when he remembered that he was from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, he could only stand up from the ground with a sullen face.
"What are you doing, sir?!"
Lu Liu was nine feet tall, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a fierce look on his face.
He crossed his arms, glared, "Don't you really know what our young master asked you before?"
"No, I don't know."
Wang Er was only about seven feet tall and thin. Standing in front of the mountain-like Lu Liu, he looked like a little chick.
Lu Liu grabbed his collar with his palm as big as a palm fan and lifted him up from the ground.
Wang Er lifted his feet off the ground and slapped his arms in fear.
"What are you going to do?!"
Lu Liu held him like a chicken with one hand and slapped his face with the other hand. "I only want the information. I don't care about anything else. If you don't know what's happening, I won't spare you with my fists!"
"I said, I said, I said..."
If this man were to beat him up, I'm afraid the money he had taken before would not be enough to cover his medical expenses.
Wang Er instantly became timid, without any of the authority he had when he threatened Liu Qi before.
"They entered the city, but I don't know where they went."
"After entering the city, have you ever left from here again?"
Wang Er shook his head. "No when I was on duty, and I don't know when I wasn't on duty."
"When did you see them?"
“Yes…Yes…”
Wang Er actually knew it in his heart, but he was deliberately hesitant.
Lu Liu saw through his intention, snorted coldly, and slapped him.
With a "pop" sound, Wang Er's head started buzzing and his eyes were full of stars.
After a long while, the buzzing sound finally subsided.
This time he didn't dare to be a jerk and said honestly, "It was May 16th. They entered the city in the afternoon."
Lu Liu estimated the time and confirmed that it was about that time before he threw him to the ground.
"You bastard, Yucheng is connected to the border city. If everyone is like you and neglects their duties for a little profit, how many spies will come in from the enemy country! Go and resign tomorrow, or you will be beheaded!"
Wang Er rubbed his sore arm and his face changed when he heard this. "Didn't you just say that you only want the news and don't care about anything else?"
Lu Liu sneered and patted his sleeves, "Just because I don't care doesn't mean others don't care."
"you!"
Wang Er speaks in sign language.
If he doesn't care and others want to care, isn't that the same as not saying anything?
Lu Liu patted his butt and walked away, leaving Wang Er, who felt like the sky had fallen, slapping his thigh on the spot. Alas.
Two young men, reeking of alcohol, walked down the path.
"Brother Jiang, where do you think this Yuan guy came from?"
"Hiccup~"
The playboy surnamed Jiang burped and said, "Who knows?"
He waved his hand and said, "He's generous anyway, so let's just follow him. Who knows, we might be able to make a career out of his connections in the future."
"I've only heard of the name Ramadan Villa before, but now that I've been inside, I realize how luxurious it really is." Another person sighed, "This is something that only a prince or noble could have built. Do you think this Yuan is a prince or a grandson of the emperor in the capital?"
Jiang paused, and was a little surprised. "I knew a businessman from the capital before. You know what, Yuan's accent is exactly the same as that man's."
The two looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly.
"We must treat Yuan well in the future. Maybe he can find us a position."
"Haha, even if we can't get a job, getting something from him will be enough for us to live for half our lives!"
The two walked and talked as they went. Lu Liu appeared from the dark and continued to follow them.
"This Yuan guy likes to play with women. Why don't you send your cousin to be a concubine?"
"You know that Yuan likes to torture women. I can't push my cousin into the fire pit!"
Abuse of women?
When Lu Liu heard the two men speaking with a Beijing accent, he stopped and paid attention. Now that he heard that the man liked to torture women, his heart suddenly sank.
He has a Beijing accent and likes to torture women. If he came from Yong'an Marquis Mansion, then doesn't that mean he must be Jiang Hui who was imprisoned in the Marquis Mansion by the Emperor's order?
If it was really Jiang Hui, then their young lady——
He didn't dare to imagine what would happen to Bai Youyou, so he immediately took out the signal flame and sent it out.
Not long after, Lu Chen and his men hurried over.
"Lu Liu, have you found any important information?"
Lu Liu looked anxious, "Seventh Young Master, the person who came out of Yongning Marquis' Mansion that day might be Jiang Hui!"
"How could it be him?!"
When Lu Chen heard that the man was Jiang Hui, and thought of his habit, he suddenly became nervous, "Do you know where he is?"
"It is said to be in Ramadhan Villa."
"Quick, get everyone to Ramadan Villa!"
Lu Chen now wished he could grow a pair of wings and fly over.
He had been to Yucheng before and had heard about Ramadan Villa from others.
The villa was built only a few years ago, but the entire villa covers an area of nearly a thousand acres, surrounded by mountains and rivers, comparable to the emperor's palace.
The city gate was closed at this time. Lu Chen took out the token. The general guarding the city looked at the group of people and thought they had important military intelligence, so he immediately opened the gate and let them in.
In the Ramadan Villa, Bai Youyou's face turned pale as she looked at Jiang Hui, who was walking towards her with a whip in his hand and a lewd smile on his face.
"Get away!!"
She casually picked up a blue and white porcelain vase and blocked it in front of her, saying fiercely: "Jiang Hui, my grandfather is the Duke of Zhenguo, how dare you touch me!"
"So what about the Duke of Zhenguo?"
Jiang Hui swung the long whip with barbs in his hand, curled his lips and sneered, "All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are the king's subjects. When my cousin the crown prince ascends the throne to become emperor, it will only take a word for the head of the Duke of Zhenguo."
He changed the subject and said, "Besides, you are in my territory now. Even if I kill you, who would know?"
Having witnessed with her own eyes how he tortured people, Bai Youyou's fear was infinitely magnified.
If she had known that running away would have this result, she should have stayed there obediently and lived like a bird with broken wings.
Knowing it earlier is priceless. Bai Youyou looked at the dried blood on the long whip in his hand and her body trembled uncontrollably.
She calmed down and said sternly, "Do you really think there is no impenetrable wall in this world? I have been missing for many days, and my grandmother must have sent people to look for me. And when I boarded your ship that day, many people saw me. Do you really think you can do it perfectly?"
Bai Youyou sneered, "Although your cousin the Crown Prince is now in the East Palace, he is still checked by the Third Prince and the Queen. It is still unknown which of them will be able to ascend to the Nine Dragon Throne in the future!"
Jiang Hui's face darkened when he heard this, but after a moment, he curled his lips and smiled, "What's the Third Prince? He will soon be in great trouble and can't even protect himself."
His tone was firm and his expression was smug, and Bai Youyou had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Doesn't the Third Prince rely on his in-laws' support from the General's Mansion? Once the General's Mansion of Weining falls, what will he use to compete with my cousin the Crown Prince?"
Jiang Hui continued to walk towards Bai Youyou step by step, "Little bitch, today is the day you die!"
