"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crime!" Governor Li crawled over and was about to bite the bullet and stick to the truth.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the door.
Chu Xuanfei rushed in through the door and shouted angrily at Li Gaofu, "Where are the people summoned? Nothing has been done for so long. Don't you think it's an eyesore with your head hanging around your neck?"
"Brother Emperor! Where have you been?" Chu Fang looked at his good brother who was always calm and wise in silence. He didn't know why he was so anxious and manic at the moment. He didn't even see the emperor...
Only then did Chu Xuan see Chu Shen and Chu Fang standing aside, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty! Qin'er was kidnapped in the back room! My brother chased him out of Yecheng for thirty miles, but he didn't see anyone.
Someone acting suspiciously. I’m afraid the bandit hasn’t left the city yet! I don’t dare to delay, I just want to come back and investigate the people in the Governor’s Mansion. I’m afraid this problem should be in the mansion!”
When Chu Shen heard the previous sentence about Qin'er being kidnapped, his face was already very ugly. When he heard the next sentence, the problem was in the governor's mansion, Long Yan was furious, turned around and glared at Li Gaofu, "I haven't summoned your mansion yet.
Everyone here came to ask questions? What are you doing standing there stupidly? Why don’t you just go and get it done?”
"Yes! Yes!" Li Gaofu fell to the ground and hurriedly got up. His old legs were weak and he quickly led the housekeeper to summon everyone in the house.
After a while, the governor led all one hundred and three people in the mansion to gather in the open space in front of the door.
The mother held the child in her arms, the old man leaned on a cane, and everyone held their breath as they stared at the three tall and handsome men standing on the long steps in front of them.
"Your Majesty, all the 103 members of the family are here." Governor Li kept wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief, and his forehead was shiny.
"Send me the roster!"
Immediately, a servant presented a roster to Eunuch Ling.
"Call your name." Chu Shen said coldly.
"It's the Emperor." Ling Quande flipped through the book and called the names of the people in the mansion one by one until he called, "Wang Xian'er!"
No one agreed.
A group of people in the house looked at each other, and their nerves were very tense.
"Wang Xian'er!" Ling Quande shouted again, suddenly raising his voice, "Wang Xian'er comes out!!!"
Only then did Governor Li realize that his concubine was missing. He hurriedly climbed up and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wang Xian'er is Wei Chen's newly married concubine. But she might return to her parents' home."
"Where is your mother's family?" Ling Quande asked carefully.
"Chengbei Wangwang Tofu!"
"Immediately send someone to arrest Wang Doufu and his family for questioning!" Chu Fang spoke on behalf of the emperor. At this moment, they were already calm and a little confused. Anyway, they would rather catch ten thousand by mistake than miss one person when doing things. Isn't that wrong?
Where to go.
"Ask me one by one whether anyone knows about the disappearance of the empress."
"It's the Emperor!"
Another moment passed.
The dry Wang Tofu was carried over by the soldiers and thrown heavily in front of the prince, prince and emperor.
When the old man saw the three interrogations, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. He knelt down and begged for mercy, "My lord, spare my life. My lord, please spare your life. I don't know what I have done, but I have offended the lord!"
"Have you seen your daughter today?" Chu Xuan asked coldly.
"No, no, no! I haven't seen that damn girl for several days!" Wang Tofu shook his head like a rattle.
"Then do you know where she went?"
"No, I don't know. I haven't seen her for several days. I don't know where she went."
"Your Majesty! No one can tell where the empress is."
The three men of the Chu family narrowed their dangerous eyes in unison.
Chu Shen turned his head slightly and glanced at Chu Xuan, then nodded slightly.
Chu Xuan took a step forward, with the most cruel and cruel smile on her lips, "Here comes! Three hundred military sticks waiting! Until someone is willing to reveal the truth, I don't believe it! In such a big mansion, no one saw the empress being raped.
Take people wherever you want!”
"Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" Governor Li screamed and knelt down. Three hundred military sticks, even an ox could not withstand it!
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life..."
Everyone on the field was prostrate on the ground, kowtowing and kneeling, looking in horror at the soldiers who were approaching step by step, holding thick military sticks in their hands.
Those are Chu Xuan's well-trained soldiers. They only need an order and a cold look to know what to do.
They formed a large circle and controlled the people in the Governor's Mansion within the circle. The heavy military sticks were mercilessly swung at everyone's limbs, bodies, heads and faces, whether they were servants, young ladies, men or women, old or weak, women or children.
One was spared! He was beaten as well as Governor Li, until he cried for his father and called his mother and rolled back and forth!
The men of the Chu family have always been tough and warlike. They are all talented in military affairs, decisive in killing and ruthless. To achieve the goal, you can use any means. There is no use crying and begging for mercy unless someone tells the truth.
, the stick will stop!
So the people who were beaten until they vomited blood began to stare at Wang Doufu resentfully, "Tell me, where is your daughter? Did she take the empress away? Tell me!"
"You want to die and we don't want to die with you!"
"Tell me! Did any of you see anything strange? Is there any suspicious person coming in or out?"
"I! I said! I said! Stop, stop! I, I said!" At this time, a servant who couldn't bear the beating raised his hand tremblingly, and was hit on the back by a stick, spurting blood.
Chu Xuan raised her hand heavily.
The sticks stopped immediately, and all the soldiers stood solemnly, their sticks pressing against the ground.
"Tell me, what did you see?" Chu Shen asked gloomily.
"The grassroots people saw that a suspicious person came to our governor's house. His name is Lei Hu. The grassroots people saw him carrying a sack and going out with his aunt, Wang Xian'er! It's all over.
I'm afraid a cart full of grain was stolen from the Governor's Mansion."
"Yes, this sack must contain the imperial concubine!" Chu Fang cried out.
"Who is Lei Hu?" Chu Shen asked.
"Your Majesty is asking, who is Lei Hu? Answer quickly!" Ling Quande glared at him angrily.
"Xiao Xiao only knows that this Lei Hu is a tyrant in the city. He is usually extremely arrogant. I heard that he also does some shady business."
"What kind of deal?" Ling Quande asked again, "Why are you hesitating? Tell me quickly!"
"That is, that is, he goes around robbing some beautiful girls from poor families and selling them to the Dayuan fireworks venue in the south. It is said that his business in Dayuan is very good."
The expressions of the three men of the Chu family changed at the same time.
Ling Quande hurriedly waved his hands and shouted, "No, no, no, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no, I am sure that Jirentianxiang will be fine! Don't worry, Your Majesty, it won't be..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Chu Xuan gritted her teeth and glared at the servant.
"The little one is afraid of getting angry! I really didn't know that the sack contained the queen at the time. If I had known, I would have risked my life to protect the queen!"
"It's full of nonsense!" Chu Shen clenched his fists hard, his eyes were red and his whole body was shaking with anger, "Drag him out and kill him!"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, have mercy on me! Your Majesty, have mercy on me!" Li Gaofu banged his head, and he must have been extremely frightened.
