Zhong Fu straightened his body. He had been traveling in the Jianghu for a long time, so he was naturally extremely sensitive to the changes in his surroundings.
Generally, brothels had no business during the day. It was normal for the girls to come out at night and day. However, Master Turtle should be here, and the attendants should be busy cleaning up as well. Otherwise, how would they be able to open their businesses at night?
Now, not a single person was present. Wasn't it strange that even the old bawd, who used to flatter her, didn't know where she was?
Fuzi appeared at the foot of the stairs and smiled at Zhong Fu. "Young Master is back!" My young master is waiting at the elegant pavilion, I'd like to invite you to have a chat with him! "
"It's Li Rui?" Zhong Fu was at a loss for words. "You guys …"
"My family's young master has taken care of this matter. No one is allowed to disturb him." Fuzi bowed. "Young Master, please head upstairs!"
"What a grand show!" Zhong Fu frowned slightly, "Give my regards to your young master. This young master still has some matters to attend to, so I won't be accompanying you!"
"Young Master's business, is that that Little Mute in the prison?" On the top porch, Cobb called for a cool voice.
Zhong Fu suddenly narrowed his dangerous eyes. "You're investigating me?" Li Rui, who the hell are you? I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a businessman! "
"Regardless of what I, Li, am doing, it is not a problem for Young Master. What Young Master wants is only the result!" Cobb stood with his hands behind his back. He was clearly an extremely gentle person, but his words were full of scheming, causing people to feel extremely aggrieved!
Zhong Fu was not an idiot, he clearly saw through those schemes. It was obvious that this Cobalt had come prepared. Moreover, his tone was faintly threatening and he couldn't help but think of the little mute in the prison.
Holding his breath, Zhong Fu pondered over the pros and cons. Staring coldly at Corbeau, who was still standing high above him, he ambled up the stairs.
In the quiet pavilion, the fine wine and delicious food had already been prepared. After Zhong Fu sat down, Fuzi stepped forward to pour the wine.
Although Zhong Fu was a willful person who loved to play, he was still very vigilant when he was outside. Outside, he rarely drank, or it could be said that … He never touched a drop of wine. Unless he met a close friend or someone worth making, otherwise... Obviously, this Li Rui in front of him was not a worthy friend. He looked refined and refined, but in reality, he was too shrewd and shrewd. Ever since Li Rui's first appearance, Zhong Fu had been afraid of getting to know him, so he had to be even more careful!
It was obvious from their long conversation that he was very particular about people!
The temperature of the wine was just right. They should have long been prepared!
Zhong Fu remained silent. He slowly lowered his hand that was holding the cup, as if he was considering something, "I don't like to talk in a roundabout way. If you have something to say, just say it. I am afraid you will suffocate to death! "
Cobb looked at Fuzi, who backed away, and the two of them looked at each other.
"Tell your men to retreat. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Zhong Fu sneered.
Cobalt took his cup and took a sip, then he looked at Zhong Fu with a thoughtful expression, "Of course I know you won't do anything, that's why I dare to be so unscrupulous." In this world, who would be willing to stick their heads onto the edge of a blade, and who wouldn't be afraid of death? "
Zhong Fu watched him pick up the chopsticks and pick up the dishes. His brows slightly twisted. "What exactly do you want to say?"
"Young master's friend is waiting in the yamen's prison …"
"I'm telling you, don't touch him!" Zhong Fu said coldly.
"Young master, don't be so anxious. I'm saying this to find a way for you. Why are you so nervous?" However, this also proves that the friendship between Young Master and your friend is really deep! "
"What do you mean?" Zhong Fu was puzzled.
Kobold took a deep breath.
The door opened again, and Sachiko came in with some things. After entering the door and putting down his things, the son of Fortune respectfully greeted him, "Young Master, this is my young master's greeting gift to you. Meeting you is fate, I hope you can accept it!"
Zhong Fu could not understand what Li Rui was thinking.
Cobb looked at the object covered in black cloth and winked at Fuzi.
Without a word, Fuzi removed the cloth covering it, revealing a porcelain bottle and a folded piece of paper.
"What is this?" Beauvoir asked.
Fuzi explained, "The reason why young master's friends went to the yamen prison was because they were mistakenly thought to have killed Miss Mei Er from the Lighthouse! But according to my investigations, Miss Mei Er actually died from the poison in this porcelain bottle, not from your friend! "
Zhong Fu stood up in shock. He looked at Ke Bo Li in disbelief. "You …"
"The contents of the porcelain bottle were found in the Brothel Keeper's room. However, this item is not owned by the Fleeting Pavilion, so this is a little tricky. If you have physical evidence, you will naturally need proof of it. Otherwise, it would be impossible to prove the innocence of your friend! " Cobb took a sip of his wine and looked at him leisurely.
He was smiling, laughing with such confidence.
Zhong Fu had the illusion that someone was choking him. They really were using Little Mute to threaten him!
Damn it!
"What do you want?" Zhong Fu's complexion was naturally unsightly. This Li Rui was definitely not a businessman. How could a normal businessman have such remarkable abilities? A murder case suddenly spread throughout the world and even found evidence!
Zhong Fu was puzzled. Just how much power and influence did Li Rui possess in the Darchu Prefecture?
"The confession of the bawd and the turtle is in my hands." "Young master, what's next is up to you to show your sincerity!"
"What do you mean?" Zhong Fu was shocked.
"The bawd and Duke Gui were the ones who killed him, but there were people in the yamen who were involved, so without solid evidence, he could not be in court!" "Young Master, you're so smart. I guess you know who I'm talking about!"
Zhong Fu frowned slightly. Who else in the capital could cover the sky with one hand other than Gongsun Chen? Seeing that idiot, Lin Gao could not possibly think of such a perfect plan! Previously, Little Mute had signed the confession letter, admitting that he and the water bandits had stolen the official rations. Thus, Gongsun Zhen would definitely not let Little Mute off in order to calm the case of the official rations and send Ke Bo to do so!
Thinking up to here, the calm on the surface of the Zhong Fu gradually collapsed.
It was undeniable that he did not have the ability to ensure that Little Mute would be able to leave the prison safely. This was after all, not Phoenix City, and other than a title and title, he, the Young Master of Phoenix City, was not worthy of attention!
"What am I supposed to do for you to help me?" If Little Mute was able to leave the prison, he could bring him back to Phoenix City as soon as possible! This way, he would also be able to avoid that troublesome Prime Minister.
"The person has been captured, the confession is also here. The poison can also be given to you, and... I can also go with you to the magistrate court as a witness to ensure that your friend leaves the prison safely. " Cobb looked at him. "The world is big, and I want a friend. That's all!"
Zhong Fu was stunned. "You mean, you don't want anything?"
"It's most difficult to repay a debt of gratitude!" "The young master owes me a favor, as long as the young master remembers it!" Wealth and honor, I have them! I don't care for fame and fortune, so... As long as you make friends! "
Zhong Fu suddenly had the illusion that he was trying to take advantage of his master. He thought that …
"Then treat it as me owing you a favor!" Zhong Fu took a deep breath, "Our Zhong Family members are used to saying the same things, the same as always!" What I owe you today, if you have any difficulties in the future, just come find me! "As long as I don't go against the principles of the martial arts world and the rules of the world, I will never reject them!"
"If you say so, it will work!" Ke smiled. "Fuzi, get the things and people ready and make a trip to the magistrate court when you have time!" Some things could not be delayed, and some things could not be delayed for long! It's just like last night when the young master went missing … "
"No, I have always been at Fleeting Pavilion!" At least, when he woke up, he was in the Shocking Flood Pavilion's bed.
Cobb laughed, "That's what you think! At the bottom of this big hall, there was a cellar that was specially used to imprison people, and it extended all the way to the backyard! Last night, the young master slept there! Therefore, no one found you! Until this morning, when you were finally carried out! "
"How do you know?"
"The old procuress's life is in my hands, does she dare to refuse?" Cobb summoned the light wind.
Zhong Fu was stunned for a moment. "Did you use torture?"
"Whether there's a punishment or not, it all depends on how you use it." Cobb rose slowly to his feet.
Zhong Fu was interested. "What do you mean 'understanding'?"
He spoke with an indifferent tone, as if his life was nothing more than an ant in his eyes. "Bright is the power of swords, spears, and sticks, the ruinous arts of the body and the skin! The lightest would be breaking of bones, slicing open flesh, and the heaviest would be death. "
"Then what about the darkness?"
"Everyone has their own desires in their heart. They can only hope but not obtain them. They can only turn things around and turn their hearts into a devil! Everyone has their own dark side, and those things that make people afraid are actually more effective than weapons! " "Young master, you've let me down!"
"You seem to make a lot of sense!"
"The so called principles are just to force the truth out of you. In this world, the victor is the king and the loser is the bandit, the strong preys on the weak! " "Young master, are you by yourself? Don't you miss your parents? Do you miss your home?"
Zhong Fu lowered his eyes, "Of course I want to, but... As you said, people have things they're afraid of! "
"That's true!"
"What about you?" Zhong Fu asked. "Since you're so rich now, I'm sure your parents …"
"Little Xing Ke, Ke shu Mu, Heavenly Demon Luan, you are free to do as you please!" With a few words, he made a rough estimation of his life. The sixteen words were his past and present.
Zhong Fu was at a loss for words. After a long while, he said, "I'm sorry!"
"I won't mind if I get used to it!" "How boring it would be to be proud of everything in life," he said. There will always be some trials and tribulations in the end, only then will it be considered as the accomplishment of one's achievement! "
Zhong Fu nodded, "Let Young Master Li handle this matter. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be accompanying you!"
"Last night, there was a row in the prison, and a lot of people died!" Cobalt spoke slowly.
"What?" Zhong Fu was startled.
"Young master, you must look after your friend!" Cobb reminded him meaningfully, "If you are not careful, that side will attack you! This life … "Only one!"
Zhong Fu immediately ran out, while Fu Zi was stunned for a moment. "Young Master, this prince is really a man of good will!"
"Do you know if he values love or righteousness?" Kollberg laughed coldly.
Fuzi didn't understand. "Young Master's words seem to be wrong. Isn't it all the same to be loyal and loyal?"
"It's the same for you. For Crown Prince Zhaoming, it's different!" Cobb put down his glass and said, "Make some preparations. I'm guessing Dongfang Buming won't be able to hold it in much longer!"
"Yes sir!" Fuzi nodded.
When Zhong Fu appeared in front of Zhao Jing, his face was pale and green. "Are you alright?"
Zhao Jing frowned as she looked at him. Wasn't this what she should be asking? Why was this person always so reckless?
"I brought your favorite dish!" "From today onwards, I will eat and live with you!"
Zhao Jing's eyes widened as he subconsciously took half a step back.
"Don't worry, I'll get someone to open the cell next door. It will definitely not affect your sleep!" Zhong Fu wiped the sweat off his forehead. Just now, he had carried his food box as he ran over. His heart was filled with trepidation as he constantly recited Li Rui's words, afraid that Gongsun Zhen would attack her!
Zhao Jing looked at him, not saying a word.
Zhong Fu had made up his mind to protect her, and for the sake of his own safety, she didn't want to refuse. After all, this was the Danzhou City, Gongsun Zhen's territory!
However, Dongfang Wenming was not happy. The chess piece in his hand turned into dust in an instant. He raised his head and stared coldly at Zhou Zhiqian, as if he wanted to stare into a hole in his face.
