Ye Shengnan was stunned after hearing what Lu Zhiyao said, and then asked her: "Do you know who I am?"
"I know! Of course I know!" Lu Zhiyao nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "The eldest young master of the Ye family, how many of us in the capital don't know about him?"
"Now that you know it, you still dare to arrest me and ask me such a question?" Ye Shengnan sneered, "My Ye family has been an official in the court for so many years, why can't we still save some savings?"
"Young Master Ye, please don't talk nonsense." Lu Zhiyao stopped Ye Shengnan from continuing, "We all know how much salary an official can earn. You and your father are officials.
Over the years, I have calculated the salary of both of you together, and it may not be as much money as you have spent these days. If you insist on using the idea of being an official as an excuse, then I might as well send you to the Yamen
, how about asking them to find out where your money comes from?”
Ye Shengnan gritted his teeth and looked at the strange woman in front of him, knowing that he had bumped into someone difficult to deal with this time. He had been acting cautiously recently, and he didn't expect that something would go wrong at this juncture.
"How much silver do you want? I'll give it to you."
"Tsk, tsk, that's so generous." Lu Zhiyao spread her hands, and Zhan Yulong put a stack of banknotes in her hand. "These are what I found from you. Let me think about how much you just took from me."
Cheap. This money is not enough for you to pay me."
"Are you kidding me?" Ye Shengnan felt that Lu Zhiyao was a little bit open-minded. What kind of woman has he not played with? How many women can he play with with this money?
"Are you kidding? If you don't believe me, ask him how much money does it cost to sleep with me?" Lu Zhiyao pointed at Zhan Yulong and said with a smile: "You have to be lucky that my husband is not here now. If he knows that you
You can eat my tofu with more than just this little money."
Ye Shengnan knew that it was useless to say anything now, so he became silent. No matter what Lu Zhiyao asked him again, he refused to speak.
"I have plenty of time now. If you don't want to say that, then I will accompany you. I want to see which of us can survive the other."
Lu Zhiyao raised his eyebrows and did not make any move against Ye Shengnan. Ming Zhan Yulong looked at him, Lu Zhiyao stood up and walked out of the room, meeting Ling Yi.
"What's going on with the Nangong family?"
"Nangong Nuo'er and Lin Yixiang returned to Nangong Mansion after leaving the pharmacy today. After staying for an hour, they left again and returned to Prince Luo Mansion. There was nothing left."
"It seems that the Nangong family is also ready to do something. If they continue to monitor, I don't believe they will stay out of such a big matter." After Lu Zhiyao and Ling Yi finished speaking, they turned around and walked in again.
He walked into the room where Ye Shengnan was and replaced Zhan Yulong. Because Zhan Yulong still needed to enter the palace to monitor the movements around the emperor, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to come to interrogate Ye Shengnan in person. Moreover, she was also familiar with Ye Shengnan.
Ye Shengnan's drunkenness dissipated little by little. He lay on the ground and watched Lu Zhiyao drinking tea leisurely, closing his eyes to rest. He couldn't help but feel his mouth was dry and swallowed his saliva.
Ye Shengnan was restless all night and couldn't sleep. Lu Zhiyao lay on the rocking chair and slept for a few hours. In the morning, he stood up and stretched lazily. Lu Zhiyao brought breakfast into the room and ate it in front of Ye Shengnan.
Fragrant. When Ye Shengnan asked for a drink of water, Lu Zhiyao said firmly: "If you don't tell the truth, you won't be able to eat, drink or leave. If you don't go home every two days for three days, Mr. Ye will probably
Get used to it, and by the time they are really anxious to find you, you will probably starve to death on my side. Don't look at me like that, I can do what I say, if you don't believe me, let's give it a try."
Lu Zhiyao didn't have a good impression of Ye Shengnan, so there was no need to show mercy to him. Continuing to investigate the poisoning incident, Lu Zhiyao found that Prince Mu was also investigating the matter. Things seemed to have reached a state of stagnation.
, until Lu Zhiyao met Gu Nuochu again and saw him being stopped by the Nangong family.
Seeing that Gu Nuochu was about to be taken away, Lu Zhiyao had no choice but to show up in the crisis, quickly deal with those people, and escape with Gu Nuochu. The men defeated by Lu Zhiyao hurriedly returned to Nangong
Mansion, reported the situation to Nangong Lingfeng. After hearing this, Nangong Lingfeng did not finish speaking for a long time and asked several people to leave.
Lu Zhiyao brought Gu Nuochu to a safe place. Seeing the young master's pale face, she asked coldly: "What is your relationship with the Nangong family?"
"Nangong's family?" Gu Nuochu looked at Lu Zhiyao with some confusion. He felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. He shook his head and replied: "It doesn't matter. Thank you very much, girl, for saving me just now.
…”
"Okay, stop using the polite words. Then let me ask you, what is your relationship with Ye Shengnan?"
"Do you know Ye Shengnan?" Gu Nuochu frowned. He went to Ye Mansion to look for Ye Shengnan, but he couldn't find her. Moreover, Ye Shengnan has not been seen yet.
"Of course I know him, but he has something to do right now, so he asked me to give you a message saying that everything is going according to plan. When he is done with his work, he will come to you." Lu Zhiyao didn't ask any more questions.
Nuo Chu, after comforting him for a few words, warned: "By the way, you have to be careful lately, because those people will come to arrest you today. As for why, I think you should know it, right?"
Although Gu Nuochu and Ye Shengnan act very cautiously, as long as they are careful, they will still discover the relationship between the two of them and that pharmacy. There are many people lining up outside the pharmacy these days, and not all of them are poor. But people like the two of them can
People are free to come and go, but no one is.
It had been so long, and the news that this pharmacy could cure people seemed to have become true. But after Lu Zhiyao heard Lan Ruoling say that Ruan Chen still hadn't made an antidote, she felt even more
Something is wrong. Now the number of people poisoned in the capital has not decreased at all. Lu Zhiyao is also afraid that if things continue like this, someone will take a step ahead of him in the name of the court, find out the truth of the matter, and then use this matter to harm the emperor. And those who
People refer to the Nangong family.
"Girl." Gu Nuochu nervously stopped Lu Zhiyao who was about to leave and asked, "Do you know who those people were just now?"
"The person who wants to kill you." Lu Zhiyao answered simply, "So you have to be careful, otherwise we will have no chance to meet in the future."
After hearing what Lu Zhiyao said, Gu Nuochu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. He wanted to leave, but he was afraid of being caught by those people. He wanted to stay here, but he didn't think it was an option. In desperation, he could only ask for help.
Lu Zhiyao, asked her to send him back. Although it was very shameful to ask for a woman, at this point, Gu Nuochu didn't care so much anymore. He put down his status as a rich kid and wanted to please Lu Zhiyao.
said.
"Okay, I'll take you back." Lu Zhiyao agreed to his request without hesitation. Accompanying Gu Nuochu as he walked back, Lu Zhiyao chatted with him from time to time, and slowly got to the point.
At the pharmacy.
"You were targeted by those people, couldn't it be because of the pharmacy?"
"Pharmacy?" Gu Nuochu suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Zhiyao, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes. "What pharmacy?"
"Ye Shengnan told me, you don't have to hide it like this." Lu Zhiyao smiled slightly, sighed softly, and said, "otherwise, why do you think he is hiding?"
Gu Nuochu stopped talking, but Lu Zhiyao still saw that he was angry from his face. He sent Gu Nuochu home, and Lu Zhiyao smiled and waved to him, wanting to leave.
"Girl, do you know where Ye Shengnan is now?" Gu Nuochu thought for a while and finally asked.
"I know, what's wrong?"
"Then do you know when he will come back? I have something I want to talk to him in person."
"Well, it's hard to say. Master Ye cherishes his life very much. He is afraid that those people will take him away, so I don't think he will come back for a while. If you are in a hurry, why don't I take you to see him and then go back to him?"
What do you think about sending you back?"
"Okay, okay! I'll go with you!" Gu Nuochu thought for a moment, nodded, and followed Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao took Gu Nuochu away with a faint evil smile on his lips. She wanted to continue to get some useful information from him. "I heard from Master Ye that he has made a lot of money recently?"
"What's your relationship with him?" Gu Nuochu asked.
"What else can it have to do with it?" Lu Zhiyao smiled shyly, "He said he wanted to marry me, but he has been putting it off for several months."
Gu Nuochu was a little surprised. He and Ye Shengnan had always had a good relationship, but he had never known that there was such a person. This woman looked calm and elegant, which was very different from the ones Ye Shengnan usually played. Could it be said that Ye Shengnan really liked this woman?
Tempted?
"I didn't expect that Sheng Nan would hide her beauty in a golden house for so long." Gu Nuochu said with a smile: "He has made a lot of money, and he didn't lie to you."
"I feel relieved when I hear you say that." Lu Zhiyao's face showed a hint of satisfaction, "I didn't expect that this matter could make so much money."
"He told you all this?"
"As I said, he doesn't hide much from me."
Lu Zhiyao smiled beautifully, but Gu Nuochu felt uncomfortable hearing this. This was a life-threatening matter, and Ye Shengnan actually told this woman everything. Fortunately, this woman had some skills, otherwise she would have been arrested.
Recruit immediately? Not to mention making money by then, everyone in their family must be dead and unable to survive!
Lu Zhiyao brought Gu Nuochu back to his residence in a swaggering manner without forcing or threatening him. Gu Nuochu entered the yard and looked around. Bai Lixuan and others who were sitting in the corner entered the room upon seeing this.
Showing up.
"Who are those people?" Gu Nuochu only saw their backs and asked curiously.
"Those who are invited to protect Ye Shengnan, please rest assured."
"He is thoughtful." Gu Nuochu said with a sarcastic smile. Ye Shengnan had thought of everything without notifying him in advance. If this woman hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have been arrested by those people now, and he didn't know what to do.
