Chapter 41 Zhu Youjian

Hou San is a person who can't sit still. He stayed in Guo Yun's mansion all day and felt boring. Hou San lived in the backyard guest room. Guo Yun had instructed his servants not to enter if they were not summoned.

There is a rockery in the courtyard. Green bamboos are planted beside the rockery. The bamboo shadows cover the rockery. There is a thrush stopping on the rockery. Hou San was so idle that the thrush was annoying. He picked up a stone and threw it at the thrush on the rockery. The thrush was frightened and flew on its wings.

Of course, Hou San just wanted to scare Huamei away. If he wanted to take Huamei's life, it would be easy to use Hou San's skill to throw the needle with one hand, but Hou San didn't need to kill for no reason even if it was boring.

Hou San couldn't help but feel regretful when the thrush left. Hou San blamed himself for being shocked by the thrush. Isn't it better to leave only a living thing to see?

Once the thrush leaves, it won’t be here. If the thrush doesn’t come, someone will come. The person who comes is Guo Yun.

Guo Yun smiled and looked at Hou San and said, "I'm so bored?"

Hou San responded to Guo Yun bitterly and said, "Is it very boring, the prince of the sunny sky not going out for a walk?"

Guo Yunru sighed and said, "Where to go? It's boring to go anywhere if you are not your own."

Hou San understood Guo Yun's feelings very well.

Guo Yun sighed and said, "When I first came to Jingbei, I had not been out for three months."

Hou San smiled and said, "The prince is really able to stand boredom."

Hou San led Guo Yun into the house to serve tea. Hou San was about to speak, but a servant came hurriedly. Guo Yun had instructed the servant not to come in without a summon, but now the servant is here.

Guo Yun said with a slight harsh voice, "What's the matter?"

The servant said in panic, "Your Highness, Zhu Youjian is here."

Zhu Youjian was named Zhu Li, and he was the deputy of Yan Wei. All difficult cases in the Northern Dynasties were under the control of Yan Wei. Yan Wei only obeyed the orders of the Northern King, from princes to rank officials. As long as Yan Wei admitted that he was guilty, he would not need to report to him and directly imprison him.

Guo Yun was shocked when he heard this, "Zhu Li is here!"

Guo Yun waved his hand and said, "Tea is served in the hall, I will arrive later."

The servant said, "Your Highness, Zhu Youjian asked Mr. Hou to go too."

Hou Sanda was surprised and said, "I'll go too?"

The lower human said "yes"

Guo Yun said frowningly, "Let's go ahead and get it."

The servant retreated.

Hou San didn't recognize Zhu Li, but how could Hou San not know what kind of official this right prison was? Hou San said in a diligent voice, "How did Zhu Li know that I'm in the mansion! Your Highness, you can see that you are wrong. There is indeed a spy in the mansion."

Guo Yun said with a deep brow, "The people in the mansion are all old servants of the Second Prince of the Northern Dynasty. This was once the Second Prince's House. They had no good feelings for the Grand Tutor of Sikong Bei. It was not because they leaked the news. Zhu Li was naturally capable of being the deputy of Yanwei. If he wanted to find someone in Jingbei, even if you dig a hole and live there, you could be found out."

Hou San suppressed his beating heart and asked, "Did he come for me to kill the thugs in Sikong's Mansion?"

Guo Yun felt that there was no possibility at all. Guo Yun said, "No, how can a few thugs startle Zhu Li? Everyone is here, it means you can't leave. Go and listen to Zhu Li's intention."

Zhu Liren was very cold, like a sharp blade that killed more than tens of thousands of sinners. His eyes were even hotter than the soldering iron used for torture.

Guo Yunhou San entered the hall, but he felt as if he had been to Leng Sensen's prison.

Zhu Li looked at Hou San straight, and Hou San seemed to make Zhu Li Limang curl up his flesh. Guo Yun smiled and said to him, "Why is Zhu Youjian coming?"

Zhu Li treats everyone equally, unless he is a criminal, he can get Zhu Li's politeness as long as he is a good citizen. If a criminal is waiting for his ruthlessness, he is also a person who uses any means.

Zhu Li stood up and returned the greeting. His kindness to Guo Yun was the same as Yan Wei. Zhu Li said, "Some miscellaneous things are bothering the prince, I hope the prince will cooperate."

Guo Yun's heart beat wildly but his face was very compatible with his expression, "Of course, let's sit down."

Master Guo Yun sat in the seat, and Zhu Lihou San each took the guest seats on both sides.

Zhu Li looked like a person who cherished time very much. Everyone sat down without any nonsense. He directly asked Hou San, "Why are you investigating Jiang San's affairs?"

Hou Sanmeifeng jumped straight and said, "Is Sikong asked you to come?"

Zhu Li said, "I only listen to Yan Wei's orders"

Zhu Lizai said, "I will answer if I ask you. If you want to talk nonsense, there will be places where you can tell the truth."

Hou San and Guo Yun looked at each other, and neither of them knew how to deal with it. Should they tell the truth or choose to be perfunctory.

Zhu Li stared at Hou San, and Hou San's eyes looked at Zhu Li, and Zhu Li said, "Don't look at others, the person I asked is you."

Zhu Li was not a good-looking guy at first glance. If he wanted to make up lies perfunctory, he would definitely let the other party see through it. But if he told the truth, he would involve Mu Xuexing. Mu Xuexing was already upset, so he could not cause trouble for him.

Hou San was silent for a moment and said, "Jiang San is my brother. Can't I ask if something happened to him?"

Zhu Li had no expression on his face, and he suddenly stood up and said, "Come on, take the person down!"

The two catchers were about to detain the person when they entered. Hou San shouted, "Slow down! What crime did I commit!"

Zhu Li looked at Hou San coldly and said, "I know you claim to be a brother from Jiang San's hometown. Then tell me what the shape of Jiang San's birthmark is and where is it on his back?"

Hou San was speechless immediately. Hou San had never seen him before, let alone know what birthmark he had.

Seeing that Hou San did not reply, Zhu Li said, "What? Why do you know the birthmark of the good brothers without even knowing the birthmark?"

Hou San argued, "So what if I don't know, I'm a good brother, so I have to strip naked and read his birthmark? You can't catch me because of this!"

Zhu Li slowly said, "Of course I didn't catch you based on this. I have evidence to prove that you are not the brothers of Jiang San. Jiang San is from the Northern Dynasties. Even if his brother is his brother, how can you recognize the prince of the Southern Dynasties? You are from the Southern Dynasties and are a capable person under the Duke of the Southern Dynasties."

Guo Yunhou and the three Dadas were surprised, but Zhu Li could find out this.

Zhu Li said, "There are two people in Sikong Mansion and your subordinates are broken. No matter who you are, you dare to commit a crime in the Northern Dynasties. Do you think I can arrest you based on this?"

"Can you catch me?" Hou San figured out what Zhu Li said. This was quite interesting. If Zhu Li was really arresting someone, how could he talk nonsense to him?

Hou Sanyi felt calm when he thought of this. Zhu Liyi was thinking why he wanted to investigate Jiang San's affairs. He was not Zhu Li's target.

Hou San said, "Let your subordinates go out, I said that's it."

Zhu Li waved his hand and the catcher retreated.

Zhu Li sat down again and said, "Speak, if you have any false words, don't blame me for not giving face to the prince."

Hou San said deeply, "I am investigating Jiang San on the order of the prince."

Hou San threw this fatal problem to Guo Yun. Guo Yun knew the reason why Hou San did this, and Hou San was to protect Mu Xuexing.

Zhu Li glanced at Guo Yun and asked, "Why did the prince investigate Jiang San?"

Guo Yun also knew a little about this. Guo Yun said, "Can you not see any of Zhu Youjian's years of experience in handling cases?"

Zhu Li asked back, "What did you see?"

Guo Yun said, "There is something strange about Jiang San's death"

How could Zhu Li not see this? Zhu Li deliberately asked back, "What's the strange thing?"

Hou San and Guo Yun talked about this, but there were many details that Guo Yun didn't know. Hou San said, "There are two strange things, one is Jiang San's wife's bracelet, and the other is why Jiang San was suddenly expelled from Sikong Mansion. According to my investigation, Jiang San's stealing was accused of being framed. Sikong Mansion found an excuse to drive people away, and then he did something like falling into the lake and let people see it."

Zhu Li was asking, "What evidence do you have? Is this done by people from Sikong Mansion?"

Hou San replied, "It's Jiang San's wife's bracelet. You can see this as the hard money that Sikong Mansion gave Jiang San for many years, but it can also be seen as Jiang San's resentment money."

Zhu Li said, "This is still a guess. What evidence do you have?"

Hou San looked at Zhu Li seriously and said, "I have no evidence, all I have found out is this."

Zhu Li glanced at Guo Yun and asked, "Your Highness, I wonder why you are so concerned about the coachman of Sikong Mansion?"

Guo Yunkang responded, "I'm not concerned, I'm just curious, why did a coachman Sikong Mansion go so hard to make the illusion of drowning?"

Zhu Li said coldly and secluded, "Curious? I don't believe it, just curious."

Guo Yun smiled and said, "Zhu Youjian Mingjian, I believe you knew what we said earlier. You, like us, doubt Jiang San must know something that shouldn't have known, but you don't know what this matter is, so you came to visit. You also think that this matter was done by Sikong Mansion."

There is no conclusive evidence Zhu Li will not accuse Sikong Mansion of anything. Zhu Li said, "We have to ask about every life, this is what I should do."

Zhu Li stood up and looked at Hou San and said, "You committed a crime in my jurisdiction. I should arrest you. If I don't arrest you, I will give you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious service."

Hou San smiled and said, "Do you want me to investigate Jiang San's affairs? Do you know why I got the prince's mansion?"

Zhu Li said, "If you kill someone, you will naturally hide, but I have come to the door, why are you hiding? With snacks, I will be here."

After the words came to a close, Zhu Li left without looking back.

Hou San and Guo Yun were still sitting and peeping each other. Hou San laughed and said, "This is not bad. He, the right prisoner, doesn't arrest me. The people from Sikong's Mansion will be more restrained when they see me, but why did he ask me to investigate this matter?"

Guo Yun pondered for a moment and said, "It's useless to arrest you. He already knows your identity. If you arrest you and go to jail, he knows that I will talk to the Duke about this matter. Once the Duke intervenes, this is the political affairs of the two countries. For the death of the two thugs, he treats this matter as a state affairs. Isn't Zhu Li full?"

Hou Sanyi thought that was the case.

Hou San said, "As soon as I committed a crime, Zhu immediately came to the door. Has he been staring at me for a long time?"

Guo Yun shook his head and said, "It's not your focus, it's Sikong Mansion."

Hou Sanqi said, "Is he focusing on Sikong Mansion?"

Hou San immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Does he also doubt Cheng Sikong and Dong Wang..."

Guo Yun said, "There is a great possibility. If I ask, I might have guessed that it was the night when Zhu Li left the city, and the people of Zhu Li accidentally saw it. Cheng Sikong planned to kill people in order to protect himself."

Hou San also agreed with Guo Yun's view, "Yes, it must be so. In order to be cautious and not reveal the news, Cheng Sikong does not need to kill people. Cheng Sikong will not kill people unless he has to."

Hou San said, "Crown Prince, will the Northern King know about this?"

Guo Yun said, "No, Sikong meets the East King privately. Zhu Li will not talk nonsense without evidence unless he wants to die."

Hou San sighed deeply and said, "What should I do now? I really want to help him check this."

Guo Yun did not answer immediately, and after a moment, he said, "Zhu Li is so careless, your identity cannot be hidden, but this is fine, you don't have to hide here. You have to find a way to tell Xuexing about this."

Hou San said uneasy, "I can't go to the Beiguan. Zhu Li has paid attention to me. If I go to the Beiguan, I wouldn't have everything been exposed. I think we'd better wait, he will want to do it."

Guo Yun had no idea and sighed, "Then wait, the situation is getting more and more troublesome."
