Yi Xiaotian was terrifyingly calm today, but the more he acted like this, the more frightened Xu Chu and Le Jin became, because they always felt that Yi Xiaotian was going to do something big.
However, Xu Chu and Le Jin made up their minds about this. No matter what happened, if the Prime Minister was blamed, they would bear the burden for Yi Xiaotian.
When Yi Xiaotian spoke, Cai Cheng crouched down in front of the door of Ma Mansion and patted the door.
"Open... open the door! I, I am the prefect of Zhangling, Cai Cheng, the son of the chief minister Cai Mao. Those who are inside, please open the door quickly!"
"I'm coming."
Cai Cheng was extremely nervous, but the voice coming from the door was extremely calm, and there was no hint of any nervousness from the other party.
As the door opened, a tall and thin young man appeared at the door. He was dressed in the robe of a Confucian scholar, and even had a jade pendant and waist fan on his waist that symbolized his identity. He was a replica of Ma Su.
Li Yue looked around with a confident smile and saw the expressionless Yi Xiaotian at a glance.
Although his face was expressionless, Li Yue saw incomparable murderous intent from those sharp eyes.
Not to mention, behind Yi Xiaotian, there were Cao Jun’s elite infantry that filled the entire street like a torrent of iron armor.
The gap was immediately apparent. Compared with these elite infantry troops, Xiangyang's defenders did not look like soldiers at all.
Under such pressure, Li Yue's smile was very stiff, and his back became soaked in just a moment, but on the surface, he remained calm and composed.
"We can't let the situation slip!"
Li Yue yelled to himself.
"Hey, there are so many soldiers and horses outside this door. I wonder which general wants to come to my house to visit?"
"visit?"
Yi Xiaotian chuckled.
"Where is Ma Su? I want to see Wang Can."
"Sir! Sir!"
Da da da da - passing through the silent army, a woman called Yi Xiaotian's name and came panting.
Yi Xiaotian frowned, turned around and looked away, his tone seemed to be reproachful:
"I didn't ask you to come, so why did you run out without permission?"
"First... sir... this... this is probably Luo'er's fault. I... I must see Brother Wang!"
Zhen Luo said rather aggrievedly, with a cry in her voice.
Yi Xiaotian asked her to rest, how could she sleep?
"it's not your fault…"
Yi Xiaotian shook his head. When he looked up, murderous intent burst out in his eyes. It was the fault of these thieves!
He pointed with his hand, and Li Yue was instantly shocked by the rising murderous intention. Yi Xiaotian pointed at his nose, as if he could see through his heart.
"If you don't want to die, just stay out of the way. I know that Ma Di is in the house, and I also know that he has kidnapped Wang Can—"
Yi Xiaotian's voice was horribly low:
"I'm just going to put my words here. If Wang Can loses a hair, I will take one of Ma Su's limbs. Whenever there is a wound on Wang Can's body, there will be an extra mark on Ma Su's body."
"I, Yi Xiaotian, do what I say."
Perhaps Yi Xiaotian's aura was too intimidating. The moment Yi Xiaotian led Zhen Luo into Ma Mansion, Li Yue subconsciously took a few steps back and made way for them.
It can be seen that after countless soldiers and horses poured into Ma Mansion, Li Yue gritted his teeth and chased after him again, and he kept cursing in his heart that this man named Yi Xiaotian did not follow the routine.
——
Half an hour passed.
Nearly a hundred servants from all over the Ma Mansion were gathered in the courtyard, and all the large and small pavilions, tall and short houses in the Ma Mansion were searched by Xu Chu and Le Jin's troops.
But unfortunately, there was no trace of Ma Su and Wang Can.
This is good, Li Yue finally got the courage:
"Haha... Generals, can you go back now? I am extremely generous to allow you to enter the mansion today. As I said before, the young master is not in Ma Mansion at all today, and we don't know what you are talking about.
Where is that Wang Can?"
"maybe…"
Li Yue showed a sarcastic smile.
"Perhaps the Wang Can you are talking about was drunk to death in the river in Xiangyang City today, and is now sleeping at the bottom of the river!"
"You bastard, what are you talking about!"
Xu Chu got angry, grabbed Li Yue's collar and tried to beat him, but Li Yue was not afraid at all.
"Haha, it turns out that you are all the thieves. Even if I die today, I, Li Yue, will die here standing. I want to see how Prime Minister Cao will deal with you in the future if you hurt people for no reason!"
Of course he recognized Le Jin and Xu Chu, and he also knew that Yi Xiaotian was the young man who made the young master miserable, so he became even more lawless.
"Your name is Li Yue?"
Yi Xiaotian walked up to him and asked Xu Chu to put down Li Yue.
Li Yue patted his collar and snorted coldly:
"Yes, it's me!"
"Li Yue, I advise you not to let me catch you..."
Having said that, Yi Xiaotian turned around and left, continuing to order the soldiers in the field to search continuously. In fact, he was already a little worried in his heart. Could it be that Wang Can was really kidnapped by this group of people and thrown into the river? If that was the case...
Yi Xiaotian swore that this was the first time that his negligence had caused an accident to his friend, but he also swore that if his good friend Wang Can was injured in the slightest, he would definitely recover a hundredfold from the Ma family in the future.
, to avenge Wang Can.
"gentlemen…"
"The owner of the village..."
Le Jin and Xu Chu were unwilling to give in. They cast questioning glances at Yi Xiaotian, but Yi Xiaotian rejected them one by one.
Li Yue laughed more and more wildly, and even the servants of Ma Mansion became excited because of the helplessness of Yi Xiaotian and others.
"Mr. Yi? We won't give it away this time. Please ask the two generals to close the door and don't break into private houses in the future..."
Li Yue didn't finish his words.
Zhen Luo's soothing voice suddenly appeared in the courtyard:
"Sir...this seems to have traces of the rouge powder in my package!"
"What?"
Yi Xiaotian suddenly frowned, and then came to a corner of the courtyard wall where Zhen Luo was.
On the ground... there was a less obvious trace of rouge, extending from the corner of the wall to the door.
"Luo'er...are you sure?"
Yi Xiaotian came very close, which made Zhen Luo a little shy, but this time, Zhen Luo did not dodge, because she and Yi Xiaotian had only one purpose.
So she nodded heavily.
"Absolutely, there is no store selling this powder in Xiangyang. If there is no mistake, you can only buy it in Yecheng, and I happen to have such a plate in my bag!"
Yi Xiaotian stared at the bluestone floor for a long time, and finally stood up quickly. He shouted at Xu Chu and Le Jin:
"Dig for me! Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will find something famous!"
Le Jin and Xu Chu looked at each other, nodded heavily, and the army quickly began to move.
But this time, Li Yue finally panicked.
"You! What are you doing! Don't dig! This is... this belongs to my Ma Mansion..."
"General! Owner! Found it! It seems to be a secret passage!"
Not even a moment later, a soldier suddenly shouted.
"You! What are you doing! Don't let me go!"
Li Yue rushed directly in front of everyone, but what greeted him was an iron fist as big as a sandbag.
