Chapter 132: The Uninvited Guest (4)
In the stillness of the night, the thud and cry of pain was like a thunderbolt from a sunny day during the day, and it alarmed everyone in the two courtyards. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Chen, Zhuang Heng, Cai Yingyang - he was also left by Yang Zhen to live in the back office, as well as Luo Yueying and Lanqin master and servant on the other side.
Cai Yingyang was the first to rush out of the house, and immediately saw one of the black-clothed people who fell softly. He didn't say a word, and as soon as he bent down, he picked up the man from the ground, and then rushed to the opposite side of the courtyard with such a burden, and saw Yang Zhen pulling the other person up and walking over.
"Second brother...... This is? Cai Yingyang looked at the two uninvited guests very nervously, and his expression was extremely vigilant. He still knew about Yang Zhen and their offending of the Xuan family, so he was afraid that this was sent by the Xuan family to seek revenge, and maybe there was another wave of people hiding in the shadows.
Yang Zhen shook his head at him: "Don't worry, it's just these two people." Go, tie them up first, I'll ask them later. As he spoke, he came to the door and said to the two women who were nervous inside: "Miss Luo, you don't have to worry, I have taken them down." ”
The closed door was opened, and Yang Zhen looked inside, and saw a somewhat funny scene - Lanqin was holding a big wooden pole from nowhere to block Luo Yueying, who was a little pale, looking like a loyal protector. Seeing that she was able to lift the bar with all her might, Yang Zhen believed that as long as she waved the bar, she would inevitably fall forward.
"Young Master Yang, what the hell is going on?" Luo Yueying was also frightened this time, no matter who it was, when she fell asleep in the middle of the night, there was a bang outside, and someone hit her room, she would inevitably be frightened.
"It's just two thieves, and I've taken them down. You can ask them about their origin and intentions later. But as far as I can tell, they should come with her! Yang Zhen said, looking at Lanqin.
"Ah...... Come with me! Lanqin was stunned for a moment, then threw away the pole and knelt down: "Miss, I'm ...... I'm not going to do anything like that! She wasn't stupid, and she immediately understood the meaning of this.
"Lanqin, hurry up, I can trust you, you will never betray me." Luo Yueying glared at Yang Zhen with some dissatisfaction, and then helped the girl up from the ground.
"Don't think about it, I didn't say they were called by you." Yang Zhen said with some embarrassment.
"Then why did you want Miss to be careful with me the night before......" Lanqin said, her eyes were red, and her face was full of grievances. It turned out that when Yang Zhen finally spoke to Luo Yueying, she was outside the door and listened to the words of the two.
"This ......" Luo Yueying didn't expect this to be the case, and suddenly she didn't know how to comfort her. After all, she did have some doubts before, so she looked at Yang Zhen for help.
Yang Zhen also blushed, this kind of situation where people are still listened to behind is really embarrassing. But fortunately, he was still thick-skinned, so he arched his hand at Lanqin and said: "Don't be surprised by Miss Lanqin, she is in the belly of a gentleman in the heart of a villain, and she has recognized the wrong good person, and I apologize to you here." ”
"Hmph, I'm a woman, not a gentleman." Although he said that, seeing Yang Zhen making amends to a maid in such a low voice, and he did it for the good of his own young lady, Lanqin forgave him. But then, she couldn't help asking, "How can you be sure that I'm good?" And they said they came with me. ”
Yang Zhen explained: "If it weren't for this one just now, I don't dare to guarantee that you have no problem. But as soon as you arrived here today, these people couldn't wait to sneak in, and it was obvious that they were following you. I was suspicious of you before, because I felt that it was difficult for you to escape from Hangzhou smoothly with your ability as a girl's family and successfully come to Zhuji. Now it seems that they did it on purpose, and they released you just to find Miss Luo. ”
"Ah...... I see. After hearing this, Lanqin suddenly felt like a little self-reproachful: "Why am I so stupid, I don't know if I am calculated by them." If Miss is hurt by them because of this, I ......."
Seeing her like this, Luo Yueying hurriedly took her hand and comforted, "Aren't you doing this for me too?" Even if they do treat me, I won't blame you, especially now. ”
Yang Zhen nodded: "What Miss Luo said is very true, this one proves your innocence, you should be happy." By the way, Miss Luo, I'm going to interrogate them, so I won't bother you with the news. As soon as he said that, he withdrew from the courtyard.
On the other side, in the courtyard, two uninvited guests have been tied up by Cai Yingyang with ropes. And Yang Chen and Zhuang Hengzheng watched with curiosity on their faces as Yang Zhen whispered to the two women opposite, occasionally bowing.
"The proprietor, it seems that the second son is one step ahead of you in this matter." Zhuang Heng seems to be joking.
Yang Chen's face also showed joy: "I stayed at Miss Luo's place yesterday afternoon and evening, and now that I am so close, it seems that the second brother does have a good relationship with Miss Luo." That's a good thing, too. Regarding the relationship between Yang Zhen and Luo Yueying, he, as a brother, is naturally happy to see it.
When Yang Zhen came back, he saw that his brother and Zhuang Heng were looking at him with some ambiguous eyes, and immediately knew what they had seen, so he smiled: "Do the right thing first, and then talk about the rest." He motioned to Cai Yingyang to splash the two buckets of well water that had been made earlier on the heads of the two black-clothed men who were unconscious.
The cold well water stirred, and the two people who were knocked unconscious by Yang Zhen woke up immediately. It was only as soon as I struggled to find that I was firmly bound, and my heart sank. One even cried out, "What do you want to do to me?" ”
"Hah, that's what I asked you, right? In the middle of the night, you climbed over the wall, what do you want to do? Yang Zhen slowly walked up to the two of them and asked with a gloomy face.
"We ...... We're just shy, trying to get some money, and we don't want to offend you. They were not slow to react and immediately found a reason.
But this caused Yang Zhen to laugh very sarcastically: "Ha, you really dare to say it, you have stolen everything to the county office, is there such an eyeless thief in this world?" ”
"Well, this ...... We really just wanted to steal some money, and we climbed in through the back wall, but we didn't know this was the county office. This explanation makes some sense.
It's a pity that Yang Zhen didn't believe their words at all, sneered and took out a dagger from his waist and turned it around between his fingers, his eyes swept around their faces with bad intentions, and finally his hand shook, and the dagger had been brushed against the throat of one of them: "At this time, do you still want to use these words to fool around?" You guys are from the Cao gang who came to find Miss Luo, right? ”
"Ah...... How are you ......" Frightened, the man couldn't help but scream, but he had completely revealed his identity.
Yang Zhen further asked, "Say, who sent you to follow Lanqin here?" What is your idea here? Is there anyone else besides you who knows she's here? ”
The two of them didn't expect Yang Zhen to know so much, and even how they found it here, their expressions suddenly tightened, but after glancing at each other, they closed their mouths tightly.
Seeing that they didn't mean to confess, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Yang Zhen's eyes, and he didn't ask anymore, and the dagger in his hand was drawn down.
This move surprised everyone, and Yang Chen couldn't help but stop him: "Erlang can't!" ”
But then, he found that Yang Zhen did not hurt anyone, but just cut the pants of the person in front of him with a knife, and suddenly the words inside were revealed.
"You...... What are you doing! The man's lower body was forcibly exposed, and he was immediately shocked, angry, and afraid, and his words were already full of fear.
"What do you think I'm going to do? Now I'm just going to give you one last chance to answer my question, and if you can't satisfy me, huh! Yang Zhen said, and touched the cold dagger on the man's words, and the meaning was self-evident.
The man shuddered as if he had been electrocuted. Not to mention that he is not one of those outlaws who are not afraid of death, even if he is, he will not be able to stand such a threat. It wasn't just him, the companion beside him, after seeing Yang Zhen's methods, also shuddered, thinking that if this brother refused to say, it would be his turn next time, and he wished that he would reveal the truth.
The man did not disappoint his companion either, and soon trembled, "I...... I said, can you move the knife out of the way first. ”
Yang Zhen smiled, put the knife back according to his words, and then threatened: "I know far more than you think, so you'd better not try to lie to me, otherwise you'll ......"
"Yes, yes, I would never dare to deceive you. We are indeed members of the Cao Gang, and we came here on the orders of Ding Ye to follow that little girl. In order to find some things that belong to us Cao to help ourselves, and to bring Miss Luo back as well. We were the two brothers who were following her, and at least no one knew she was here. ”
"What is it that makes you go so far as to follow a maid here?" Yang Zhen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"It's an account book and a return order in our gang, and there may be another important thing, but Ding Ye didn't elaborate on what it was, only that it was also a book similar to the account book." Now that he had answered, the man had no more reservations, and summoned everything. When the "brothers" under the crotch are under great threat, no one dares to hide anything.
Yang Zhen frowned slightly: "The account book, the return order, and one more thing, what is this?" Although his heart was full of doubts, he didn't ask them, he could ask Luo Yueying for advice on this question, and presumably she wouldn't hide it.
"By the way, who is Ding Ye?" Seeing his brother's pensive look, Yang Chen interjected and asked.
