The villain took me crooked after wearing the book

Chapter 231 Sue
After the boy entered, the rockery was closed, and a black shadow squatted on a tree not far away. The moonlight shone on his stern face. It was Qin Zhou.

He fixed his eyes on the rockery, and then jumped off the tree, hiding around the rockery.

He found the place where the boy was pressing, and the next moment the rockery opened up, and he walked in with a flash.

The secret passage was very dark, there were long stairs going down, and it was very quiet inside. Qin Zhou went down in the dark, and after walking for a few minutes, he heard the sound of chains slamming on the ground.

He walked a lot faster, not far away was a dark room with a dim light shining inside, Qin Zhou approached a little, and saw two intertwined shadows on the ground.

One of the shadows was pressed against the throat by the chain, and the boy wanted to strangle him to death.

Qin Zhou didn't hesitate, he stepped forward, the blade of the sword glowed coldly, with a "clang", the chain fell to the ground, and the servant fell straight into a pool of blood.

Only then did Qin Zhou look at the person lying on the ground clutching his throat. It was a scarred woman.

The blood on her clothes was soaked in dark red.

Qin Zhou ignored her and looked around. It is more appropriate to say that this place is not so much a dark room as a dark prison.

There are all kinds of instruments of torture hanging inside, and the ground is dark red, which shows that many people have been tortured here.

His brother is not here.

Qin Zhou looked at the woman on the ground, and squatted beside her: "Have you ever seen a handsome boy of twelve or thirteen years old here?"

Li Niang maintained the last sliver of clarity, her bloodstained hands grabbed his hem: "I've seen..."

Qin Zhou immediately grabbed her shoulder and asked, "Where is he?"

Li Niang felt cold all over, her dry lips parted slightly: "Help me..."

When the words fell, he fell heavily to the ground.

Qin Zhou glanced at the woman, reached out to lift her up, and landed on his back steadily.

After he left, the rockery closed again...

Shen Guogong's mansion.

Shen Mingnan looked at the letter from Long Qian in the study, it said that Yin'er and Qiaogu would arrive in the capital in a few days, and asked him to pick them up and settle their residence properly.

Shen Mingnan frowned, did he have a broken leg?Want him to pick it up?If he doesn't pick up people, he will still come to the capital.

But thinking about Long Qian's words, he suppressed his impatience.

The next moment, Yu Shiqi came: "Master, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion has not found anyone in Xuanping Hou Mansion."

Shen Mingnan raised his eyebrows: "It's quite deep."

Yu Shiqi's face was solemn: "If I didn't find it this time, it must be difficult for the governor of Jingzhao to come and look for it a second time."

"Really?" He looked at the cold moonlight outside the window: "Then give Zhou Cheng a few more chances to investigate."

The next day, when Zhou Cheng came to Jingzhao Mansion, he found more than [-] people kneeling outside the mansion, all of them were sad. Seeing Zhou Cheng coming, they all kowtowed to Zhou Cheng.

The leader was a woman, her forehead was scratched, and the blood on her face was mixed with mud: "I beg Master Qingtian to be the master of my daughter. She was killed by Lu Churen five years ago."

Hearing this, Zhou Cheng's face turned cold: "Five years ago? Why didn't you come to sue five years ago, but waited until now? You will go to jail for punishment if you bite the rich and powerful indiscriminately."

The woman wiped her tears: "It's not that the women didn't sue, but they threatened me. If I dare to publicize this matter, I will kill my family. How dare I compete with dignitaries?"

"For five years, my daughter has been begging me to avenge her every night in her dreams. I hated myself for being cowardly again and again, and I dared not even avenge her. Until yesterday, I heard that the Kong family sued the Xuanpinghou Mansion. , He gave the women courage, so the women don't want to bear it anymore."

"It doesn't matter if the Xuanpinghou Mansion kills or mutilates the women, I just want to avenge my daughter!"

"The woman is willing to suffer [-] big boards, but she also wants to sue the Lu family!"

After finishing speaking, she kowtowed heavily again.

The people behind all cried and asked him to be the master. The children all disappeared a few years ago, the latest was last year, and there was even an immature boy among them.

Zhou Cheng frowned at them, 25 people, so so many people died in five years?
This is no small matter. The more serious ones are continuous crimes. Only these innocent and pitiful people dare to sue now.

Zhou Cheng said in a deep voice: "I will report this matter to the emperor, and I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"

"Thank you, Master Qingtian."

Now that the matter was accepted, Zhou Cheng didn't hesitate, and immediately went to the palace to ask to see the emperor.

When Cheng Shengquan saw that it was Zhou Cheng, he thought that he had ordered him to go down to find out what was going on, and he also had a headache. He didn't want to move Shen Mingnan either, he only hoped that he would bring better news.

"Announce him in."

Zhou Cheng stepped in hastily, bowed and bowed: "My emperor Sheng'an."

"Pingshen, what did Zhou Aiqing find out?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, yesterday at Jingzhao Mansion, I accepted the case of a commoner suing the Xuanping Hou Mansion."

"Oh?" Cheng Shengquan raised his eyebrows: "Then what are the common people doing?"

Zhou Cheng said truthfully: "The common people's daughter is missing. He said that it was Mr. Lu who robbed his daughter by force and took her directly into Xuanpinghou's mansion."

"But yesterday I took the token and searched the mansion, but I didn't find the commoner's daughter."

"Then... 25 people suddenly knelt at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion this morning, and all of them sued Mr. Lu for harming their children."

"According to what they said, the earliest one was killed five years ago, and the most recent one was in the twelfth lunar month of last year. The youngest of them was a boy who was only ten years old..."

The more he listened, the darker Cheng Shengquan's face became, and finally the whole imperial study room was filled with air-conditioning: "You mean, that Lu Churen killed 25 boys and girls in five years?"

Zhou Cheng's face remained unchanged: "I'm not sure yet... It's been so long, even if there is any evidence, it will be almost destroyed."

"Poor! Strict investigation! Under the emperor's land, he dares to harm my people?" Cheng Shengquan was furious: "I will let Junze go with you to Xuanpinghou's mansion, you two must investigate this matter." Clear."

Zhou Cheng respectfully said: "I obey the order."

With Dali Siqing's participation, even if he wanted to overthrow the Xuanpinghou's mansion, the army might not dare to say anything more.

……

Shen Guogong Mansion
Shen Mingnan felt that Xian Fu felt quite good at home, especially when Yan Yan was with him.

He would be happier without these annoying people around.

I saw Chi Hua, Ye Lanzhi, and He You, each carrying gifts in their hands to visit Zhao Huiwei who was injured at home.

Chi Hua held Zhao Huiwei's hand tightly: "It would be fine if I didn't go hunting rabbits that day, and I'll blame you for hurting you."

Zhao Huiwei patted her hand and said in disapproval: "Okay, Sister Hua, this has nothing to do with you, it's because the enemy is hiding too deeply."

Chi Hua was very angry that her beloved Ah Hui was hurt by her presence, the more she thought about it, the more she felt weak.

She stood up abruptly: "You wait, I will avenge you right now."

"I heard that about [-] people went to sue Lu Churen for his bad behavior at the gate of Jingzhao Mansion today. When the emperor learned about this matter, he ordered a strict investigation."

"It just so happened that Fu Junze was ordered to thoroughly investigate these murder cases. I will go to him right away and urge him not to let Lu Churen go!"
