The summer wind blows with hot air, and the big trees on the street sway their listless leaves, making a rustling sound.
Chen Danzhu stood in front of the house on the street here, looking at the small facade.
Li Liang was from an ordinary background. He could not afford to buy a house in the aristocratic place where the Chen family lived, so he bought a house in a place where common people lived together.
Compared to Li Liang's house, this house was even shabbier. The door knockers showed their age, there was no plaque on the door, and the black painted door was tightly closed.
"Go." Chen Danzhu said to a guard, "Call the door."
The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, and a female voice sounded from inside the door, "Who is it?" There was a clatter of footsteps, and someone arrived.
"I am Chen Danzhu." Chen Danzhu said loudly outside, "I want to inquire about something."
It seems that I have never seen such a confident call to the door. The door opened with a creak, and a maidservant of seventeen or eighteen years old felt uneasy, and her eyes fell on Chen Danzhu.
She murmured: "Miss Danzhu——"
Miss Danzhu's name is now known to everyone in the city. Chen Danzhu looked arrogant: "You know who I am, right?"
The maid indeed nodded.
"I'm here to check on Li Liang's accomplices." Chen Danzhu said, "Everyone around his house will also be checked."
This is too overbearing. She is not a government official. The maid looked angry and held the door with her hand and refused to let go——
Chen Danzhu was dissatisfied: "What? Do you want to refuse the investigation? Is there anything you dare not let the investigation do? Could it be that-you have something to do with Li Liang?"
As soon as these words came out, the maid's face changed slightly, and at the same time, a female voice came from behind, "Ah Qin——"
The maid answered yes and looked back.
Although he just came here, when he really heard the sound he heard in that life, Chen Danzhu still tensed up——
It's her, it's this voice!
"Get out of the way!" Chen Danzhu shouted in a loud voice.
The female voice in the courtyard also sounded again: "Aqin, don't be rude, please ask Miss Danzhu to come in."
The maid responded and gave way. Chen Danzhu looked in and saw that there was no one in the courtyard. There was a bead curtain hanging in the main hall, and a slim figure could be faintly seen behind the bead curtain.
Chen Danzhu signaled to the guards who were bringing them over, and two guards walked in first. Chen Danzhu took another step, and just as she passed the threshold, a cold blade was pressed against her neck.
Chen Danzhu stood still.
This woman not only has guards around her, but she also dares to take action directly.
The maid named Ah Qin stood behind the door, holding a knife in her hand.
Ah Tian, who followed Chen Danzhu in, let out a scream, and the next moment, Ah Qin struck her in the neck with another hand, and Ah Tian fell to the ground.
This happened in the blink of an eye, and the guards inside and outside drew their swords instantly——
"Don't move." Ah Qin whispered, "otherwise I will kill her."
The guards stopped moving and stared at the maid nervously.
"As expected! You are Li Liang's comrades!" Chen Danzhu shouted angrily, "Hurry up and capture us!"
At this time, and you are still shouting to be arrested, is it possible that you are just here to check Li Liang's accomplices? The maid Ah Qin thought to herself, and couldn't help but look indoors, where the man was still sitting peacefully behind the bead curtain.
"Miss Danzhu," the female voice said coquettishly, "You can't frame us indiscriminately like this. We are just innocent people living here."
Chen Danzhu sneered: "Innocent? Innocent people will have knives in their hands?"
She looked at the bead curtain coldly, but unfortunately the bead curtain was so thin that she couldn't see the person inside. She could only vaguely see her sitting on a chair, her figure leisurely and at ease.
"The world is not peaceful." She sighed softly. Just listening to her voice can make people imagine that she is a beauty.
In contrast, Chen Danzhu's voice was arrogant and rude: "Stop talking nonsense! Get arrested quickly, otherwise you will be guilty of the same crime as Li Liang."
At this time, they must be made to think that she is just here to check her accomplices and does not know their identities, otherwise there will be no chance at all.
The female voice in the room laughed: "Miss Danzhu, are you confused? What is Li Liang's crime? Li Liang was the one who assisted the emperor. This is not a crime, this is merit. Why are you investigating Li Liang's accomplices?
You should first think about your crime for killing Li Liang."
These words were so naked that Chen Danzhu suddenly struggled forward——
"Credit?" She yelled angrily at the same time, "One day Li Liang was the king's general, and the other day he was a traitor. It was a crime to talk about military law and the king's laws! Even in front of the emperor, I, Chen Danzhu, dare to argue - you comrades
, I won’t let anyone go—you harmed my father—”
The maid didn't expect that she would still dare to struggle at this time, but she didn't dare to move the knife in her hand.
This Chen Danzhu is indeed as arrogant and rampant as the outside world said. Now that Chen Taifu has been disgraced, she must be going crazy. She clearly came to Li Liang's house to vent her anger - you can see what she said is confusing, so this is actually
Chen Danzhu didn't know her true identity. When the people in the room saw her like this, they hesitated and didn't call the maid in time to take action.
Just like this, Chen Danzhu broke away from the control of the maid. The guards inside and outside the door took the opportunity to step forward. With a "ding" sound, the maid raised a knife to meet them. She was no match for these guards, and the knife was knocked away——
"Miss." she shouted.
Only then did a cry of "Come here!" be heard in the room.
Accompanied by this shout, more than a dozen guards suddenly appeared in the yard and surrounded Chen Danzhu and others.
Chen Danzhu was surrounded by four guards. He looked at the door of the house that was just around the corner, but unfortunately he did not rush in——
The people in the room were obviously also scared, and their voices were no longer as soft as before.
"I'm really looking for death." She said, "Kill her."
Chen Danzhu shouted: "How dare you! This is the Kingdom of Wu, the king is still here, and His Majesty is here too, how dare you commit murder!"
Although she yelled like this, she already knew in her heart that this woman dared to bet half the time before coming in, but now she knew that the bet was lost.
Hearing the female voice's command, more than a dozen guards from all around rushed forward. The four guards on Chen Danzhu's side were not afraid of fighting at all——
There was a clang, and before more than a dozen guards could approach, the weapons in their hands were knocked away. Someone fell down from the roof like an eagle, holding a huge heavy bow in his hand, almost blocking his entire body——
"Stop it," he shouted.
Seeing this person, both the dozen guards and the four people guarding Chen Danzhu squeaked in surprise and stopped.
The female voice in the room was a little angry. She hadn't stopped drinking yet. Who could make her guard stop by ordering her?
"What are you doing?" she shouted, and others stood up, "Kill them! Don't care who they are, I'm here."
But the guards in the yard still didn't move. The leader whispered to the inside: "Miss, it's Lord Mo Lin."
Mo Lin? Chen Danzhu thought to herself, does it have something to do with the bamboo forest? She looked at the roof. Although there was no cover, the man seemed to be in the shadows and could not see anything clearly.
The bead curtain squeaked softly, and Chen Danzhu saw a hand slightly opening the bead curtain - that woman.
But when she looked over, the woman had already put down the bead curtain, and only a white chin flashed in her sight.
"Mo Lin?" Her voice sounded surprised, "Why are you here? What-what do you mean?"
Mo Lin's voice on the roof was brief: "Let's go."
The woman in the room was a little confused: "Who is leaving?"
Mo Lin said: "You."
The woman in the room was a little surprised: "Why should I——"
Before she could finish her words, there was a buzzing sound, and a sharp arrow was shot on the door frame. The sudden female voice let out a scream, stepped back and left the door.
