Riding the Pheonix Chapter 122: Borrowing people

The dark prison is like another world.

The straw on the ground has long since rotted, rats and cockroaches are crawling around, and the urine bucket in the corner exudes an indescribable smell.

"Sir," Ah Xuan said, "How about you go out and wait while your subordinates keep an eye on you?"

Yang Shu shook his head, peeled the orange and threw a piece into his mouth, just to refresh himself.

Wu Zuo is performing an autopsy on Magistrate Wu.

His death was not a tragic one, but a bit scary.

That is a jade hairpin used to tie hair. The head of the hairpin is round and not sharp.

But he just used this hairpin to insert it through his eye, penetrated most of his brain, and stabbed himself to death.

Yang Shu frowned: "How come you were searched? Even sharp weapons like hairpins were not taken away."

Axuan said: "From midnight yesterday to now, we haven't stopped sending people. It must be due to lack of manpower that this fallacy occurred. Next time we will send people ourselves."

Yang Shu glanced at him: "I'm talking about you! Such an important prisoner didn't take over in time."

A Xuan immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I know my crime, and I will not do it again next time."

Yang Shu sighed, handed him the remaining oranges, and stepped into the cell.

Zhifu Wu was sitting in the corner, his head half-bowed, the jade hairpin inserted deeply into his eyes, and his whole face was distorted.

"Death is determined." Yang Shu shook his head and lost interest in continuing to read.

But he did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked around several nearby cells and asked carefully who was in jail.

After finally finishing the transfer, he came out of the prison and stood at the door eating oranges one by one in silence.

The late spring sunshine warmed my body and dispelled the coldness in the prison.

Axuan stood beside him, carefully peeling off every strand of silk before handing it to him.

"Something is wrong." Yang Shu said, "Since he was imprisoned, all the people he has come into contact with have been checked."

Axuan immediately understood what he meant: "You mean, someone reported to him?"

Yang Shu nodded: "This way of death is too decisive. He committed a major crime of treason. Although he himself cannot escape death, with the kindness of the Holy One, his family may be spared. Why should he bother at this time? Commit suicide, offend the Holy One, and bring disaster to your family?"

Back then, the Prince of Liuyang County rebelled, and except for his own family, all the accomplices were punished lightly.

The Liuyang County Prince is like this, let alone the Qidong County Prince.

Zhifu Wu committed suicide, which was very unnecessary.

Unless he doesn't commit suicide, there will be more serious consequences.

A Xuan nodded: "My subordinates will order them to investigate."

"Yeah."

Originally, he wanted to interrogate Wu Kuan, but after this, Yang Shu lost all interest and lazily returned to the Yamen.

Walking near the Yamen, he stopped next to the cart carrying the corpse and frowned at it.

An inconspicuous civilian husband came over and said, "Young Master."

Yang Shu recognized him as the spy guarding the Ming family and frowned: "What, something happened?"

The spy said: "Miss Ming wants to see you."

"Got it."

The two passed each other as if they had never spoken to each other.

As soon as he entered the Yamen, he immediately ordered: "Get the car ready."

Axuan asked: "Go to Zuixianlou?" This restaurant is the stronghold under the name of Huangcheng Si.

Yang Shu shook his head: "No, go directly to the Ming family."

"..." Ah Xuan said, "Master, please don't act recklessly. Miss Ming is the daughter of a boudoir. If you go to see her like this, you will get into trouble."

Yang Shu sneered: "Trouble? Can it be more troublesome than yesterday? We secretly had a tryst at Baoling Temple, but were trapped in a mountain fire. What would you normally do in this kind of situation?"

"Ahem!" Ah Xuan glanced at him secretly, "Generally the man is responsible. Of course, you are famous for being irresponsible, sir..."

"..." Yang Shu rubbed his forehead, "This is already the case anyway, what are you still afraid of?"

That's right.

So Ah Xuan put down his psychological burden and went to prepare the car.

The carriage rushed all the way and stopped at the gate of Ming Mansion.

The Ming Mansion was also lifeless today. Ah Xuan went to knock on the door, but it took a while before the concierge came out. When he reported his name, the other party was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out, and he hurriedly went to report to the second lady.

The second lady stayed up all night and was stunned for a long time when she heard the news.

"Madam, what should we do?" Aunt Hu was worried, "This Mr. Yang is really serious. Just ask us out to meet you. We just turn a blind eye and let the big guys come to our door and call us. How to do it? Do you really want him to see Miss Seven?"

The second lady waved her hand and said in a dull voice: "If he wants to see you, let him see you. Let someone take him to Yufangyuan."

Nanny Hu was frightened: "Madam! How can this happen? Even if you want to see him, you can't let him directly enter the inner courtyard..."

"How long has it been? Why do you care about this?" The second lady said lightly, "Mommy, don't you see? What happens to our family in the future depends on Mr. Yang's thoughts."

"Even if this is the case, it cannot be..."

"The Ming family is about to fall!" The second lady smiled sadly, "There is nothing to care about someone who almost ransacked his home and exterminated his family. Besides, we should be grateful to him for coming to our door like this."

Nanny Hu came to her senses.

Yes, Madam is right. Mr. Yang came here like this to give those people a signal. He also cared about Miss Qi and told others not to add insult to injury.

However, having experienced the heyday of the Ming family, Grandma Hu couldn't help but feel sad when she saw this scene: "It has ended up in this situation..."

The second lady smiled and said: "A big family has its ups and downs~IndoMTL.com~ These are all normal things. Don't be too sad, mama, as long as San'er and Liu'er can be saved, we will have a future."

"What the lady said is..."

……

A Xuan followed Yang Shu straight in and couldn't help but mutter: "This Ming family actually let you in like this?"

"Otherwise?" Yang Shu said, "They should be grateful to me for coming to the door now."

The faint sound of flute came from Yufangyuan.

Yang Shu stopped and listened for a while before stepping in.

Not far away, I saw Mingwei sitting in front of the porch, playing the flute.

"What's the name of this song? It's very nice."

Hearing the voice, Mingwei raised his head, surprise flashed in his eyes: "It came so fast, beyond my expectation."

"After all, I am your servant now. The beautiful lady has an appointment, so how can I not come quickly?" Yang Shu said as he took out the folding fan and waved it twice.

Seeing him like this, Mingwei wanted to smile: "It seems like your injury is fine."

"It's just a little blood, what can happen?" Yang Shu didn't care, walked over and sat down on the other side, "Tell me what you want to do with me."

Mingwei stroked the flute: "Two things."

"Huh?"

"The first thing is, I want to borrow someone from you."

Yang Shu raised his eyebrows: "Who is it?"

"Ming Er and Ming San."

Yang Shu showed some interest in his eyes: "When?"

"When Ming Si returns home."

He nodded: "Yes, that's fine, but you know, they are repeat offenders, so it's not okay if no one is watching."

You say it so nicely, don’t you just want to watch the fun? Mingwei said: "You come together."

Yang Shu then smiled: "Okay. Let's talk about the second thing."
