Chapter 12 Animals

After Zhao Xu finished explaining, Chen Pi was a little unwilling to leave the study room. She glanced at Chu You who followed him and said with red eyes: "I will definitely kill him!"

Chu You looked back and looked inside.

Chenpi knew what he meant, clenched his fists and left with big strodes.

Chu You didn't say anything else and left. He wanted to capture Wang Deng tonight and had to explain his brothers.

Zhao Xu in the study looked at the two of them leaving, looking calm but feeling uneasy.

Wang Deng, he has an impression of this person, and his reputation is indeed bad, but he has been with Empress Dowager Gao for ten years, which is obviously not an ordinary character who is dispensable.

What if he really asked what he should deal with?

He is still a puppet. What Empress Dowager Gao really wants to do to him, including changing him, may not be able to do it!

A deposed emperor has a miserable ending.

Before he could continue thinking, Zhao Ji appeared at the door.

Zhao Xu glanced at him and said, "Have you finished your homework?"

Zhao Ji ran in immediately, raised his little face and whispered sneakily: "Official family, are you going to do something?"

Zhao Xu was stunned and said, "Why do you say that?"

Zhao Ji glanced outside and said, "I see that Chenpi's face is not right, it seems like he wants to eat people."

Zhao Xu said lightly: "Go back and attend class honestly and do your homework. I'll check it tomorrow. If you can't finish it, see if I still keep it."

Zhao Ji almost subconsciously hugged his butt, then bulged his face and left reluctantly.

After being interrupted by Zhao Ji, Zhao Xu frowned, and simply stopped thinking about it, picked up the book and looked at it quietly.

In the evening, after Zhao Xu finished his meal, he saw that Chen Pi still had an unwilling expression of resentment. He didn't say much, read a book in the study, waiting for time.

In the study, the oil lamp is faint and the light is obscure.

Zhao Xu estimated the time, came out of the study, looked at the guard not far away, and said, "Let me see the Eleventh Brother."

The imperial guards sent by Empress Dowager Gao didn't say much, and then walked towards Jingfu Palace with Zhao Xu.

Not long after Zhao Xu left, Chen Pi, Chu You and Chu You, a brother, quietly came out from the side door, carefully avoiding all possible sights, and walking towards the Yeting Bureau.

Wang Deng lives in the Yeting Bureau.

The three of them were still careful to avoid others when they arrived at the Yeting Bureau. Chen Pi knew Wang Deng’s residence and took Chu You directly to the door.

Hearing the painful voice of a woman from the door and Wang Deng's wanton laughter, Chen Pi clenched her fists and was full of resentment. She was about to push the door and rush out, but was pulled by Chu You.

Chenpi's eyes were red. Seeing Chu You shaking her head slightly, she took a deep breath. The corners of her face twitched, pressed her anger, slammed the door hard, and said, "Wang Deng, the official family passed on the message!"

Wang Deng in the room was stunned, glared at the trembling girl on the bed, put on her clothes, opened the door, looked at it, looked at it was Chenpi, frowned and said, "The official family passed on the message? So late?"

Chenpi wanted to kill him, but she didn't want to talk nonsense to him, so she turned around and said, "Let's go."

Wang Deng looked at Chu You who was standing still, and was suspicious, but Chen Pi was indeed Zhao Xu's personal eunuch. He had no choice but to think too much, so he had to lock the door and follow Chen Pi.

Chu You gave his brother a look, and the man quietly stayed and hid in the dark outside the door.

Not long after, Wang Deng found that he was sandwiched in the middle, his expression tightened, and he was confused. He glanced left and right with his eyes, not knowing what happened.

Seeing that the road to Funing Palace was not going straight, Wang Deng suddenly stopped and said coldly: "Where are you going to take me?"

Chenpi turned her head and looked at him, her eyes even more angry. She looked at Chu You, and the two rushed towards Wang Deng.

Wang Deng's face changed drastically and he shouted anxiously: "Save..."

Before he could finish speaking, his mouth was pressed tightly by Chenpi.

Chu You even kicked him in the leg from behind and punched him in the neck.

Chenpi, the two of them worked together to quickly subdue Wang Deng and dragged him towards the agreed remote woodshed.

On the other side, Zhao Xu pretended to go to Jingfu Palace. Seeing that Zhao Ji was asleep, he turned back.

Back at Funing Hall, Zhao Xu went straight into the hall, climbed up the wall where no one was around, and headed straight to the hidden woodshed.

The palace in the Song Dynasty was very small and there were not many eunuchs. Zhao Xu was careful and easily arrived at the place he had made an appointment.

Zhao Xu entered the door, sat on the stool, looking at Wang Deng, who was tied up with a blue nose and a swollen face.

When Wang Deng saw Zhao Xu, he immediately struggled violently, his eyes wide open, and his mouth whimpered.

Zhao Xu looked at the man and said calmly: "I asked you a few questions and answer honestly, do you know?"

Wang Deng nodded repeatedly, looking horrified.

Chu You stretched out his hand and pulled off the cloth from Wang Deng's mouth.

As soon as Bu pulled away, Wang Deng immediately shouted: "Officials, they..."

Bang

Before he could finish speaking, he was punched by Chu You on his chin.

Wang Deng was in pain, his eyes were angry, but his expression was afraid, so he did not dare to shout anymore.

Zhao Xu said: "The first question is, what were you doing on the day I fell into the well?"

Wang Deng was stunned and recalled: "The villain was ordered to go to Qingbiao Hall to deliver things that day. On the way, he met the official family. After delivering things, he returned to Cining Hall and never came out again..."

Zhao Xu frowned slightly and said, "You just met me by chance that day?"

Wang Deng knew that Zhao Xu was assassinated and knew that the palace was checking. Looking at Zhao Xu's expression, he suddenly shouted: "Official family, the villain just met you by chance. I walked a few steps with you. It was not the villain who harmed you..."

"Shut up!" Chenpi sniffed in disgust.

Wang Deng immediately stopped the voice and looked at Zhao Xu and said anxiously: "Official family, the villain met you on the way from Funing Palace to Qingshou Hall. Other times, the villain was not aware of it..."

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Deng, looked at him and said, "You met me on the way to Qingshou Hall. Why did the place where I fell into the well was in the Huangyi Hall?"

The Huangyi Hall, Funing Hall, and Qingshou Hall are slanted north-south, completely opposite directions!

Wang Deng shook his head and said, "The villain didn't know, but the villain saw the official family enter the birthday palace, and he didn't know anything else."

Zhao Xu looked at Wang Deng, wondering in his heart.

Wang Deng was unable to deceive him from Qingshou Hall to Huangyi Hall. In broad daylight, there were so many people along the way, and it was impossible for no one to see him.

‘In other words, I must have used some method that day, or someone used some method to avoid everyone’s sight, from Qingshou Hall to Huangyi Hall, and then pushed down the well…’

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed slightly. This was not something that ordinary people could do. Either he cooperated or he lost consciousness.

No matter which one it is, the person who took action behind him was definitely not simple. Perhaps, he still trusted and was not prepared for it.

Dongdongdongdongdong

Suddenly, a soft knock sounded outside the door.

Zhao Xu, Chen Pi, Chu You and Wang Deng were all shocked and turned to look at the door.

Chu You quickly whispered: "The official family is a mark made by a villain."

Zhao Xu raised his chin and signaled him to open the door.

Chu You walked over and opened the door. The person outside the door whispered a few times, and then walked away quietly.

Chu You came over and whispered to Zhao Xu: "The palace maid in Wang Deng's room committed suicide by shame and anger."
