Chapter 276： twists and turns

Chapter 276 A sudden turn of events

Shen Zhangwen was stunned for a moment. From the corner of his eye, he saw Prince Rui's expression. He slowly closed his eyes and opened them again. His previous hesitation was no longer there, "My Lord, I really want the truth."

At this point, we can only take one step at a time. Regardless, they, Duke Dingguo, are the victims. Even if they find out that the murderer behind the scenes is a member of the Bai family, it has nothing to do with them. Is it possible that the future prince will still be able to deal with Duke Dingguo for protecting his shortcomings? Mansion?

After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Zhang felt relieved.

Bai Zhendong was completely panicked, and he kept thinking about whether the insiders had dealt with it thoroughly and whether any fish had slipped through the net.

Just when Xie Lianyuan was about to give the order, a group of people came outside.

“Wait!”

Everyone looked at it together.

They were all shocked when they saw that the person who came was actually the old lady from Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Shen Zhang was shocked when he heard this and hurried over to help him, "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Shen did not respond to her son. Instead, she stepped forward with a cane and nodded to Prince Rui in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. "Prince Rui, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you?"

Old Prince Rui didn't show much expression when he saw Old Mrs. Shen. He only nodded slightly and frowned, "Didn't you say that you are not in good health? Why are you still going out?"

Mrs. Shen sighed and shook her head, "So what if I'm sick! There's always something to worry about. Prince Rui, can you give me some face? Don't pursue this matter any further. As for Dong Maoyan and his wife, we'll give it to you." If they are satisfied with the compensation, the matter will be over!”

Mr. Rui smiled sarcastically, "I thought you came out just now. You are here to be a lobbyist! What if I don't agree?"

Mrs. Shen was a little anxious. She coughed a few times and sat next to Mr. Rui. "For the sake of us brothers and sisters, and for the sake of my dying, isn't it okay?"

"What are you afraid of?" Old Prince Rui was angry and pointed at Old Mrs. Shen angrily. He said, "You were weak and had no opinion in the past. You wanted to calm down everything. Now that others are bullying you, you still want to calm down." !

Duke Dingguo, after all, started his career through martial arts and has his own backbone. Do you think Zhang Wen’s father would allow you to do this if he were alive? "

“I, I didn’t!” Mrs. Shen’s eyes flickered. Although she felt guilty, her mouth was very tough.

Mr. Rui rolled his sleeves and snorted coldly, "Anyway, stop talking. I can't agree to it! Even if I bring this matter to the emperor today, I still want to know it clearly!"

"You really don't know what to say!" Mrs. Shen was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

The hope that had just been ignited in Bai Zhendong's eyes was instantly extinguished.

With no obstacles in sight, Xie Lianyuan immediately ordered people to go to the Bai family to bring back all the people involved in the incident for investigation.

As soon as the officer arrived at Bai's house, he heard bursts of shrill shouting coming from the backyard.

The housekeeper was smart this time and did not stop the person. Instead, he thought of rushing ahead of the yamen officer to stop him. Unexpectedly, he was still a step too late.

The Yamen rushed into the main courtyard and witnessed with their own eyes that Mrs. Bai tortured her daughter-in-law Youshi. Youshi was beaten until her skin and flesh were torn, and it was too miserable to look at.

“Stop! Do you have any more rules?”

Mrs. Bai glanced at the housekeeper displeasedly, but she didn't feel guilty at all, "It's my wife's turn to teach my daughter-in-law who doesn't behave well, and it's the turn of outsiders to make irresponsible remarks? To tell you the truth, a shameless woman like this, even if I'm Mrs. The You family didn’t dare to say anything after sinking her into the pond!”

The world is like this. Youshi and her father-in-law had an affair, and they even let people catch her in bed. There was only one fate waiting for her.

Although the officials looked down on women like Youshi, they were not so cruel as to add insult to injury. However, they really couldn't control her anymore, so they made their intention known.

Madam Bai calmly covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm sorry, it's been so long, and we don't know how many servants have changed in our family. Who still remembers who there were back then? Why don't you put the family in the house? Everyone has been asked to go to the Yamen to ask, maybe someone else knows about it, hahaha." Mrs. Bai smiled with a bit of pride and presumptuousness, which made all the Yamen servants seethe with anger, but they really didn't do anything else. Method.

At this moment, Youshi, who was beaten to death, suddenly spoke, "I know, I know the inside story. Take me to the Yamen and I will tell you everything!"

Mrs. Bai suddenly changed her face, "How dare you! Come here, drag this **** down! She is a sinner of the Bai family, you can't take her away!"

Seeing Mrs. Bai's reaction, the officer immediately reacted. Before Mrs. Bai could react, the three of them directly picked up Youshi and ran away, leaving the others behind.

Mrs. Bai was frightened, angry, and uncontrollably afraid. She kicked the housekeeper in a panic, "What are you doing standing still! Why don't you send someone to stop them quickly! You must not be allowed to go to the Yamen, quickly!"

The housekeeper reacted and quickly sent out all the guards in the house.

The yamen official could not run fast while carrying the man, and was soon stopped by the guards of Baifu near Baiwei Tower.

In order to prevent Youshi from going to the Yamen, the guards of the White House shouted in public that Youshi was stealing people, which aroused public outrage.

Ya Chai could not defeat the four-handed man with his two fists, and he could not attack the people, so he could only be beaten passively.

Liu Ye rushed out after receiving the news. She knew about Jiang Ning's visit to the Yamen today, and she didn't like the Bai family. Seeing that the Bai family's guards were embarrassing the Yamen and inciting the people, she immediately rushed back and took out the gong and banged it to attract the attention of the people. .

“Today, Baiweilou is giving away 500 fried meat buns for free, first come, first served, no rush!”

As soon as she finished shouting, everyone on the street rushed to Baiwei Tower, and no one was chasing Youshi anymore.

Yang Datou rushed over with a few newly purchased servants to help stop the Bai family's guards and clear the way for the Yamen.

All the officials almost cried with gratitude.

When they took Youshi back to the Yamen, all of them had rotten vegetable leaves covering their heads instead of hanging on their faces. They were in a very miserable state.

Everyone was frightened by their appearance.

Xie Lianyuan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, "What's going on? Who dares to attack the Yamen?"

The officer wiped his face, put down the dying Youshi, and briefly explained the situation.

Xie Lianyuan hurriedly asked the doctor to come over and examine Youshi. He also looked at the injuries of several government officials.

Bai Zhendong glared at Youshi with a gloomy expression, "Don't you want to live anymore?"

Youshi raised his head suddenly, his eyes full of hatred, "If they hadn't arrived in time today, I would have been beaten to death by that old woman! Is it your turn to threaten me?"

Bai Zhendong! You feel your conscience, did I take the initiative to seduce you or did you force me? Before I entered your Bai family, I was a good girl who abided by female virtues and precepts. It was your inhumane son and you, an old man who was worse than a beast, who ruined me!

Now I was almost killed by your step-sister, who should I ask to reason with! "

"That's enough! Let's talk about this when we go back!" Bai Zhendong's eyes were threatening.

Youshi suddenly laughed maniacally, "Go back? Go back to where? The Bai family? And then I will be killed by you quietly? Or will I just let you sink into the pond? Do you think I am that stupid?"
