Chapter 399 You are so rude!
"Ahem! Ah Hui, this is the person Young Master Jiang wants to arrest. How can we interfere?"
As Luo Dan spoke, he turned around and smiled at Jiang Youzhen, his bright red lips curled up, revealing his white teeth.
"I'm sorry, Hui is used to it."
Jiang Youzhen smiled and said, "This habit is not common. Does it mean that Master Luodan often encounters this habit?"
"That's right! After all, Young Master Luodan is so rich, it's normal for him to be coveted by others."
Jiang Youzhen bowed as he spoke, "I haven't thanked you enough for your help, sir."
"Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. It's just a simple thing to do when seeing injustice!" Luo Dan felt that Jiang Youzhen's words just now were a bit sarcastic? This kid really doesn't want to suffer any loss!
At this time, Jiang Youzhen had already taken the wooden sign from Ah Hui's hand. He glanced at it in the moonlight and found the word "Ling" written on it.
Turning it over, Jiang Youzhen seemed to be thinking about something.
"Huh? This is the guard token of the Prince's Palace, and it's a second-class guard."
Jiang Youzhen quickly put the things away. This Luo Dan had a really sharp eye.
Luo Dan looked at Jiang Youzhen with an inquiring expression. This boy is quite mysterious.
"Take the person back!" Jiang Youzhen ordered Qing Lang and the others.
"Thank you for your help today, sir. I have something important to attend to, so we'll meet again another day. I'll leave you now!"
"No! What date is that? Let's pick a good date!"
Luo Dan suddenly came closer, and Jiang Youzhen immediately smelled a cold fragrance and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Are you really rude? She was just being polite, but you took it seriously?
"Let's do it... another day!" Jiang Youzhen grinned.
"Then I'll send you an invitation in a few days, you must come! Otherwise you'll be looking down on me." Luo Dan said as he brushed his sleeves and still leaned over softly.
Why is this person like a cartilaginous animal? Is he spineless?
Jiang Youzhen habitually looked into the other person's eyes, but unfortunately Luo Dan was wearing a mask and he couldn't see his eyes.
"Goodbye!" Jiang Youzhen smiled, then turned around and left gracefully.
Looking at the direction Jiang Youzhen and the others left, Luo Dan chuckled and then got on the carriage.
"Bring the man here!" After Jiang Youzhen and his men arrived at the outer courtyard, they immediately began to interrogate the man.
"Tell me! Who instructed you to murder Qian Chongen?" Jiang Youzhen looked down at the man lying on the ground.
Only then did she see the man's face clearly and she didn't recognize him.
"I don't know what you are talking about. You also know that I am a second-class guard in the prince's palace. I am not someone you commoners can afford to offend. If you know what's good for you, untie me. Otherwise, when I get out, you will all be in big trouble!"
The man snorted coldly, his eyes fierce.
Jiang Youzhen was amused by him. "As the saying goes, a man under a roof has to bow his head. I think you haven't figured out the situation yet! As long as they report to the police, even if you are a guard in the prince's mansion, can the prince still protect you? In their eyes, you are just a guard."
Jiang Youzhen took out the token from her sleeve and saw the word "贰" on the back of the token. The second prince? She was thoughtful.
"I am a sixth-rank official, and you are just a commoner. How dare you be so disrespectful to me?"
"You don't have to be so timid. Didn't you come here today just to kill people and silence them? Otherwise, there is no need for you to come here. Now that the job is done, and you come here at the risk of being discovered, can you still keep your promise and give me the remaining money?" Jiang Youzhen sneered.
The guard's eyes flickered. "I don't understand what you are talking about. I came from the capital to carry out the task assigned by the Second Master...His Highness. I happened to meet someone there today and was caught by you. It was completely an unprovoked disaster. I don't know who the Qian Chongen you are talking about is."
"So you are a guard in the Second Prince's mansion?" Jiang Youzhen approached him and asked.
The guard quickly shook his head, "No!"
"It's written clearly on the token!" Jiang Youzhen waved the token in front of him.
"It's a secret mission, so of course we have to hide our identity." The guard rolled his eyes.
"Bring the cook over here and let him recognize it." Jiang Youzhen ordered Qingyan behind him.
The cook came in soon, and when he saw the guard, he excitedly pointed him out, "That's him! He gave me the medicine bag."
"Are you blind? Did I do this? I look kind, you must have recognized the wrong person?" the guard shouted angrily.
The cook shrank his neck in fear when he heard his roar.
"But it's obviously him..."
"Are you sure it's correct?" Jiang Youzhen looked at the cook.
"It's really him! Master, this guy has a mole next to his ear. I saw it accidentally that day. I can't be wrong."
Jiang Youzhen nodded, "Qinglang, search me again!"
Qing Lang stepped forward and groped the guard, causing the guard to yell at him.
"Young Master, there is only one porcelain bottle." Qing Lang came over and handed a small green porcelain bottle to Jiang Youzhen.
The guard suddenly became nervous, "That's my wound medicine, what do you want to do?"
"Go and ask Dr. Lu to come over!"
Don't think that Dr. Lu is just a street doctor just because he looks inconspicuous. He is knowledgeable and must be no simple person.
Doctor Lu sniffed the medicine bottle again and again, and finally poured out a little of the powder and roasted it with candlelight.
"It was an instant. When it burned, it smelled like peach wine. There was no mistake. It was because it had a hint of sweetness that people who took poison would ignore it."
Jiang Youzhen immediately looked at the guard, "See how you can argue?"
The guard sneered, "I am just following orders. If you have the guts, go find our master directly."
When Doctor Lu heard this, he quickly excused himself and left. He didn't want to get involved.
"You mean, the Second Prince ordered you to poison Qian Chongen?"
"I've already said that I'm just following orders. I won't ask any other questions." The guard looked at Jiang Youzhen with disdain, and then actually closed his eyes to rest.
"Qing Lang, find a few more people to watch him and send him to the authorities early tomorrow morning." Jiang Youzhen's face was gloomy.
"Yes!"
"Don't waste your time. Are you going to ask the prefect to interrogate me? Does he dare to offend the Second Prince? As I said before, I am just following orders. It's useless to arrest me. Why don't you go directly to the Second Prince? Otherwise, you will be picking on the weak."
The guard smiled sarcastically, as if he was sure that Jiang Youzhen would not dare to go to find the second prince.
"Whether it was the Second Prince who ordered it or not cannot be based on your one-sided statement. But it is you who is trying to murder Qian Chongen. Let's talk about it after we see the official tomorrow!"
Jiang Youzhen said this and walked out of the room, ordering Qinglang and Qingyan to keep a close watch on him.
At this time, Manager Liu came over. He had been eavesdropping just now and finally couldn't help it.
"Master, was it really the Second Prince who did this? How could the Master offend the Second Prince? What should we do now? Should we really send him to see the official? Will the prefect respond?"
Manager Liu was worried. What was the status of the prince? Could they still seek justice for the master?
"Not necessarily! As you said, the Second Prince and the teacher have no grudges against each other, so why is it necessary?"
Jiang Youzhen said this not because she trusted the Second Prince's character, but because the system did not prompt that the task was completed.
