The villain took me crooked after wearing the book

Chapter 230
Missing people?

No matter how painful Zhou Cheng was, he sat down in the lobby: "Chef Xuan Na comes in."

The chef of Shuiyunjian was ushered in by the yamen servant.

Zhou Cheng patted the gavel: "Who is in the hall?"

The chef knelt down: "Kong Dawu, a grassroots man, came here to ask Master Qingtian to make the decision. The little girl Kong Li has disappeared for several days without a trace."

Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice, "Disappeared? Do you know where she disappeared?"

Kong Dawu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "My lord, someone saw my daughter being taken away by Mr. Lu of Xuanpinghou's Mansion at Qingyan Street."

Kong Dawu's round face was red and his eyes were red: "My lord, I beg you to be the master of the grassroots, Mr. Lu, he will grab the girls of the people by force."

Zhou Cheng frowned, and snorted coldly: "Do you know that if you sue the courtier's son at will, you will have to suffer [-] boards first, are you willing?"

Kong Dawu kowtowed: "As long as Li Niang can be found, the grass-roots can do anything."

His wife died early, and he left a daughter to live with him. Even if his life is gone, he still wants Li Niang to come back safely.

The yamen servant lifted the stool, Kong Dawu lay down on it, and soon there was a muffled sound of sticks.

He gritted his teeth and took twenty big blows, his back was bloody and bloody, and after the end, cold sweat flowed from his forehead: "Please... my lord, make the decision for me."

The board was also hit, and it seemed that he really wanted to sue Xuanping Hou Mansion, Zhou Cheng gave the gavel again: "The case is accepted, I will investigate thoroughly, if I find out that it is a false accusation, you should know the consequences. "

"Caomin didn't make false accusations, but he is the eldest son of Xuanpinghou's mansion."

If Kong Dawu hesitated at the beginning, now he is firmly convinced that it is Lu Churen.

"You go back."

Kong Dawu was helped out by the yamen servants, Zhou Cheng lifted his robes: "Follow me to Xuanpinghou Mansion."

Regarding Zhou Cheng's sudden arrival, Lu Lu was a little puzzled, the emperor asked him to investigate Shen Mingnan, why did he find him in Xuanpinghou's residence?
Zhou Chengdao clarified his intention: "I just received a complaint from a commoner. The eldest son of your mansion robbed a commoner's daughter. He said that the woman was in your mansion. I came here to check."

The smile on Lu Lu's face froze, and then he said angrily: "Treason! You are talking nonsense, and the dog is upright, how could you do such a thing? Which untouchable sued it? Please tell Master Zhou his name, and I will let him Know what to say and what not to say."

Zhou Cheng gave him a strange look: "Lord Lu Hou is probably trying to kill someone to silence him, right? It just so happens that the emperor also asked me to thoroughly investigate the matter between your son and Shizi Shen."

"Shen Shizi just said that Mr. Lu bullies men and women."

Lu Lu's face was slightly condensed: "So, Mr. Zhou, please, Quanzi has never brought any woman back, you can check if you want, but after the investigation, please report the truth, and give Quanzi justice."

Zhou Chengpi smiled bluntly: "That's natural."

"Search for the officer, you all look carefully."

The twenty or so yamen servants he brought dispersed to search the house, which attracted Mrs. Xuan Ping Hou to come out. She was haggard, and it seemed that she was overly sad because of Lu Churen's matter.

Even several concubines of the army gathered in the main hall.

"Master, when will Shen Shizi die? My Ren'er is so miserable. Before he got married, he was humiliated by that bastard and his limbs were crippled."

As Mrs. Xuanpinghou spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears again. There are many heirs in the Hou family, but she only has such a son.

Now lying on the bed in agony, it is like gouging out her heart, how can a disabled person inherit the title?
Now she can't wait to eat Shen Mingnan's flesh and blood, the bastard deserves to die.

Lu Jun didn't want Shen Mingnan to be punished, but he didn't want more than that.

Even if Shen Mingnan was convicted in the end, it would be just a cover-up without pain and it would not hurt him at all.

Who made him the eldest son of Shen Guogong's mansion, the empress' nephew, and most importantly, the only heir left by Jiahe Princess.

From the perspective of Gongyi's family that has been exterminated, the emperor will not be too harsh on him.

And his Xuanpinghou's mansion is different from the Duke's mansion. The Duke is hereditary, but he is a descendant, and the Marquis is the last generation with him.

He was not valued at all in the court, and his political achievements were mediocre. If he could get through this matter, the emperor would be ashamed of him for protecting Shen Mingnan.

He can get a lot of benefits from it, at least the emperor can give him an official position with some real power. In his heart, there are many sons, and they will never be as important as power and status.

In order to keep his wife from doing bad things, he followed the enemy together: "Don't worry, Benhou will definitely avenge Ren'er."

Mrs. Xuan Pinghou looked at him with a moved face, and she felt a lot more at ease in an instant.

Over there, Zhou Zhi also searched the mansion, and more than 20 government servants did not find any so-called woman.

Lu Jun put his hands behind his back with a cold face: "How did Mr. Zhou find out?"

Zhou Cheng glanced at him: "For the time being, nothing wrong has been found, and I hope that you Xuanpinghou's mansion will not be accused again."

He cupped his hands: "So, I will leave now."

They walked out of the mansion, Zhou Cheng beckoned, and a yamen servant stepped forward: "Did you find anything wrong with his mansion?"

"There is nothing wrong with it." The yamen servant paused for a moment, then scratched his head: "It's just that the subordinates found out that the Hou's Mansion has a lot of land and a lot of flowers, which are more beautiful than the flowers in other mansions."

Zhou Cheng glared at him: "I asked you to find someone, but you let me appreciate it first?"

The yamen servant felt very wronged: "No subordinates, the main reason is... the flowers in Xuanpinghou's mansion are really beautiful."

Kong Li was not found, so Zhou Cheng asked the yamen servant to tell Kong Dawu the news, and asked him to think about whether his memory was wrong. If the Xuanping Hou Mansion were to be investigated, ten Kong Dawu would not be enough to die.

Into the night
Xuanpinghou Mansion, Lu Churen's courtyard.

At this moment, all his limbs were medicated and bound with bandages, but his tendons were broken, and it was impossible to connect them. He was like a disabled person, and it was difficult for him to move.

He hates it so much, Shen Mingnan is really ruthless, he regrets it, he should enjoy it first when he catches that little girl, instead of wanting to experience the feeling of cat playing with a mouse and making the mouse despair.

Since he cared so much, he should be very sad when he saw the little girl's body, right?

At this moment, Lu Churen fell into deep remorse.

"Young master." The servant ran in in a panic.

Lu Churen's eyes were gloomy, and the servant could not help but shudder when he met that gaze.

But thinking about what's going to happen next, he couldn't care less about being afraid: "My lord, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion came to search the mansion today!"

"That Kong Dawu reported to the police, saying that you robbed his daughter."

Lu Churen withdrew his gaze, his face was extremely dull, he didn't care anymore: "Where's Li Niang? Is she dead?"

The boy shook his head: "I've been tortured to the point where I still have my breath left."

"Pull it out and deal with it."

After speaking, he closed his eyes.

The boy backed out, and he came to a rockery, only to press the mechanism on the rockery when he saw no one left and right.

The rockery unfolds towards both sides, revealing a secret passage.

This was specially repaired by Lu Churen, and it was under the Xuanpinghou Mansion, no one knew the existence of this secret passage.
