Chapter 240 Fool
Chapter 240 Fool
"Hey, hey!" Chen Ying grabbed Chen Er, secretly worried. If he really beat someone to death, the young master would definitely not forgive him.
"Listen to me," Chen Ying lowered his voice and said to Chen Er, "Can you help me keep an eye on them for the next two days?"
However, Chen Er shook his head, obviously reluctant.
Chen Ying sighed helplessly and had to patiently discuss with him, "Be obedient, it'll only be two days. Besides, our house is just across the street, if you have any problems, come find me, okay?"
Although Chen Er was still a little hesitant, he finally nodded reluctantly.
After receiving Chen Er's response, Chen Ying left with satisfaction. Before leaving, he did not forget to warn Shi Yue and others, "Don't play tricks on me, or I'll chop off your legs."
After Chen Ying left, Shiyue looked at Chen Er's confused look and felt angry.
After all, they were the Tenth Prince's personal guards, and they actually sent a fool to watch over him.
But Shiyue was so angry that she forgot how Chen Er kicked the man away.
"Hey, idiot," Shiyue shouted, but he didn't expect that Chen Er would ignore him.
"Fool!" Shiyue shouted loudly without getting discouraged.
"What are you yelling about?" An impatient voice came from the darkness.
Shiyue was shocked. He knew it wouldn't be that easy. There was indeed someone watching them in the dark.
Eleven, who was hiding in the dark, snorted coldly, "Hey, don't think I don't know what bad idea you have. You just want to see us, Chen Er, as a fool and want to escape."
"I'm telling you, you'd better behave yourself, otherwise you'll be in trouble." After saying that, Eleven no longer paid attention to Shiyue and the others.
Shiyue secretly groaned inwardly. He had originally thought that he could find a breakthrough from this fool, but now it seemed that this was simply impossible.
However, he did not give up, after all, he still had to return to the Tenth Prince.
Just then, a figure jumped down from the roof. Shiyue looked closely and found that it was a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
The young man was wearing a black suit, had a slender figure, a stern face, and deep and sharp eyes.
At this time, the young man said, "I won't stop you. You can run, but others are not as easy to talk to as I am."
Shiyue's heart sank, thinking that since this young man was so confident, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape.
Shiyue pretended to be calm and asked, "You went to so much trouble to capture us, what exactly do you want to do?"
The young man raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "How should I know? It's not me who arrested you!"
Shiyue didn't expect to get such an answer, and was a little surprised, "You..."
"What do you mean by 'you'?" the young man scratched his ear impatiently. "Whoever caught them should go and ask them. I am only responsible for watching you."
Seeing this, Shiyue knew that it was useless to argue with the young man any further, so he said no more, turned around and walked into the room pulling the chain.
When his followers saw Shiyue go in, they followed him in.
The interior of the house was very simple, with only a table, a few stools and a large bunk bed.
The chains that bound them were tied to a large pillar in the room and fixed firmly.
Shiyue was almost laughing out of anger. It was obvious that these people had planned to imprison them, otherwise how could they have made such thorough preparations?
Not long after, Shiyue heard a knock on the door, and then Shiyi came to their door.
Shiyue signaled the person standing by the door to open it. As soon as the door opened, Shiyi appeared at the door carrying a load.
"What does this mean?" Shiyue looked at the bedding on the carrying pole, frowned, and asked in confusion.
Eleven threw the carrying pole to the person who opened the door and replied in a stern tone: "This is not a prison. We don't have the habit of mistreating prisoners."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiyue realized that although it was winter, the temperature in the house was not low, probably because of the heating.
Rarely, a look of embarrassment appeared on Shiyue's face.
Eleven pointed at the quilt and said, "It's cold at night, don't freeze to death." After saying that, Eleven turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Shiyue stopped him, "You have to let us die with a clear conscience."
Eleven stopped and looked back at him. "You are the Tenth Prince's men. There is certainly a use for arresting you. I am just following orders. I don't know anything else."
"However," Shiyue didn't intend to ask more, but Shiyi took over the conversation, "Two days ago, an old man said that his daughter was missing."
"What?" Shiyue didn't understand and asked blankly.
The man standing at the door holding a quilt is called Shi Ri. He is the youngest in the group and looks only about seventeen or eighteen years old.
He asked blankly, "The old man's daughter is missing, what does it have to do with you arresting us?"
The others obviously wanted to ask the same question, and they all looked at Eleven with confusion.
Eleven also explained the reason, "The old man was from Jingzhou. He begged all the way to Kyoto just to find his abducted daughter."
As soon as these words were spoken, Shiyue seemed to have thought of something and stood up suddenly.
"Don't be so excited," Eleven was just startled.
Eleven paused and continued, "The old man said that his daughter had a black mole at the corner of her right eye and a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left wrist." After that, Eleven left.
After hearing this, Shiyue's face turned very ugly.
He remembered the girl he had seen in the Tenth Prince's mansion before. There was indeed a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her left wrist. Could she be the old man's daughter?
Recently, the Tenth Prince was busy taking action against Concubine Duoli and had no intention of causing trouble for those women.
Therefore, before Shiyue left, the girl was still locked in the woodshed with others.
Shiyue hurried to the door and looked outside. There was no trace of Eleven in the yard. Only Chen Er was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.
The sunlight shining on him made him look a little lazy.
"Hey," Shiyue shouted, with a hint of anxiety in her voice, "Where's that person?"
Chen Er seemed to be still immersed in his own world. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. After he came to his senses, he shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know.
Shiyue sighed helplessly and turned back into the house.
At about noon, the gate was knocked again, the sound was clear and loud.
Shiyue walked to the window cautiously, poked a hole in the window paper and looked out.
Chen Er was seen running across the yard to open the door slowly, his movements seemed a bit clumsy.
When the door opened, a woman with a child was standing outside. She was Liu Jinsheng's daughter-in-law, Youshi, and her two children, who originally lived in the suburbs of Beijing.
With a smile on her face, You said to Chen Er enthusiastically, "Chen Er, your brother wants you to go home for dinner. I will take over your shift. Remember to come back after you finish eating."
When Chen Er heard this, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He greeted everyone happily, then skipped home.
