Chapter 447: Strictly investigate Suiyulou
Chapter 447 Strictly investigate Suiyulou
Galloping all the way at high speed, Commander Sun finally led dozens of inner guards to Suiyulou.
Suiyulou is worthy of being the number one restaurant in Kyoto. There are five shopkeepers, big and small, all of whom are well-versed in the world.
Now even if a group of officers and soldiers with knives came straight into the lobby, the third shopkeeper did not show any panic at all.
Commander Sun was in a hurry to get things done, without talking nonsense at all, he directly showed the inner guard's badge and said: "The inner guard is following orders, and ordered you to hand over the guest register as soon as possible."
The third shopkeeper bowed his fat body and made no promises, then immediately ordered his servants to find the registration book, and then personally presented the registration book to Commander Sun with both hands with a smile on his face.
Commander Sun took it and flipped through it hastily, and frowned, "Where's the registration record on the fifth floor?"
The third treasurer smiled respectfully: "Commander Sun, the registration book on the fifth floor is a top secret book, and we will not disclose it to the public."
Commander Sun snorted coldly, and said with a stern face: "Your Majesty wants to see the registration book on the fifth floor, how dare you refuse to hand it in at Suiyulou?"
The third treasurer was not at all afraid, and smiled politely: "The Suiyulou has the rules of the Suiyulou, and His Majesty will not embarrass us if you think about it."
Commander Sun's face darkened immediately when he saw that the shopkeeper didn't take the emperor seriously. He raised his hand and ordered in a cold voice: "Catch this lawless bastard!"
The shopkeeper's face changed in horror, but he still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. He still yelled in a stern voice: "What are you going to do, my lord? This villain abides by laws and regulations, and all he does is honest business..."
Commander Sun didn't listen to the shopkeeper's nonsense at all, and made a gesture directly.
The internal guards understood, and immediately grabbed the rest of the shopkeepers and beat them up, and then asked fiercely, "Where is the registration book on the fifth floor?!"
The big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, the fourth shopkeeper, and the fifth shopkeeper all have bruised noses and swollen faces.
They all hated that reckless and dead-headed third treasurer in their hearts.
Even if the eldest lady has made a rule that the register book on the fifth floor will never be disclosed to the public, so what?
Rules are dead, but people are alive.
When the emperor comes to ask for the registration book, you have to give it to him, otherwise it will be disobedience and disobedience, and the emperor can punish you for a big crime of disrespect with a swipe of his pen!
One of the shopkeeper's front teeth was knocked out, and he spoke with a wind, and said in a vague voice: "It's in the brass box, the villain will go get it."
How could the inner guard rest assured that he went to get the register by himself?
Commander Sun Dangshi ordered two inner guards to "protect" the big shopkeeper, one on the left and one on the right, watching closely all the way.
After getting the registration book, Commander Sun briefly flipped through it. After confirming that it was the registration book on the fifth floor, he put the book in his arms, and then squinted at the group of shopkeepers with colorful faces.
When the shopkeepers received his gaze, they all lowered their heads in fear, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Commander Sun ordered in a cold voice: "Arrest all the shopkeepers and the clerks who are in charge of registering at the counter!"
The shopkeepers were horrified.
The big treasurer was calm, and argued with reason: "Commander Sun, we have handed over the registration book. We will absolutely carry out His Majesty's orders to the end. We have not violated discipline or law. Why are you arresting us?"
Commander Sun doesn't bother to explain.
Does the internal guard need to explain to others?
unnecessary.
The inner guard is only responsible to the emperor.
Unless the emperor asks them to explain, no one should make the inner guard waste more time.
Commander Sun walked out of the Broken Jade Tower quickly, quickly got on his horse, whipped the horse and left without delay.
The rest of the inner guards also quickly got on their horses. As for the people from Suiyulou, they were scattered on horseback one by one by the inner guards.
The people who suffered from Suiyulou were roughly placed on the horses one by one, with their stomachs directly pressed against the saddle. As soon as the horse galloped, they jolted along with them, and their stomachs were full of panacidic acid.
Soon, a group of people arrived at the palace.
The inner guards took the convenient passage and returned to Shuyi Palace as quickly as possible.
Commander Sun bent down, offered the register with both hands, and said respectfully: "This is the guest register for the fifth floor of the Suiyu Building, please have a look at it, Your Majesty."
Pei Yi glanced at the head of the inner guard who had returned in a hurry, and thought to herself: The inner guard is really efficient, and the speed is really too fast.
The old emperor opened the registration book with a sullen face, and looked carefully at the registration information on New Year's Eve.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the old emperor to announce the final result.
However, the old emperor handed the registration book to the side, and said inscrutablely: "Third brother, take it and have a look."
Huo Yuan sat beside the old emperor.
He took the registration book with both hands, and carefully checked the registration records on New Year's Eve.
However, there is no list information of the fourth prince.
The old emperor glanced at this unlovable son, and asked inexplicably, "Third brother, what do you think?"
Huo Yuan no longer has the idea of guessing the old emperor's mind at all, and said bluntly: "Although there is no fourth brother's name in this register, but the fourth younger brother's cautious temperament may not leave his own name in the register."
The old emperor was noncommittal, and handed over the register to Commander Sun, and ordered Commander Sun to carefully check the register on New Year's Eve within two days.
This is an extremely tedious project, too time-consuming.
And now the most important thing is time.
Pei Yi frowned slightly, got up and followed Sun Tong out of Shuyi Palace.
When time is tight, everything should be efficient. Pei Yi didn't even come around, and asked directly: "Commander Sun, do you have any clues about checking the register?"
Commander Sun nodded slightly, and said with a relaxed smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Pei, I will find out the results as quickly as possible. If it goes well, it is estimated that the results will be available in two hours."
Pei Yi was quite surprised.
Her idea is actually to start with the shop assistants in Suiyulou, which can save a lot of effort.
But I don't know if Commander Sun also intends to do so.
Pei Yi tentatively asked: "Suiyulou?"
Commander Sun smiled heartily and said, "Heroes see the same thing."
Pei Yi was immediately relieved, smiled and saluted: "Wait for the good news."
Commander Sun returned a salute, then turned and left in a hurry.
He naturally knows that time is tight.
In such extraordinary times, it is natural to use extraordinary methods.
Commander Sun tortured the Suiyulou clerk who had just been arrested. The clerk was miserable, so he quickly recruited.
"The one who helped the fourth prince book the private room on the fifth floor is a servant named Ranzhu." Commander Sun reported the news truthfully, "The name of Ranzhu is also left in the register."
The old emperor opened the registration book and saw that there was indeed a guest registered as "Bamboo Dyeing" on New Year's Eve.
Commander Sun knew that His Majesty was suspicious, so he followed the shop assistant to the hall to make a statement.
After being beaten by the guards, this clerk was already as frightened as a bird. He knelt on the ground, shrunk his shoulders, flinched, and didn't dare to lift his head.
The old emperor looked at the clerk coldly, and said coldly: "You know, if you slander the heir of the heavenly family, not only your head will fall, but your family will also fall with their heads."
The clerk was terrified, and immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, have mercy! The villain would never dare to slander the heir! The fourth prince did come to Suiyulou on New Year's Eve, and there was a lady with him. The lady was wearing a bamboo hat, and I don't know It doesn't look like it looks, but its demeanor is extraordinary."
Hearing this, the old emperor couldn't help clenching his fists, and his nostrils were almost gasping.
The clerk lowered his head, didn't see the old emperor's expression, and explained tremblingly: "That night, a strange person entered the fourth prince's wing."
Weird?
The expressions of everyone present became subtle, what kind of weirdo? Who else broke the scandal between the Fourth Prince and Zhou Jieyu?
The clerk still has lingering fears when he thinks about the situation that night.
He spat, and then he recalled bravely: "There are four weirdos in that group, and each of them is wearing a ghost mask, like a ghost."
"They rushed out of the fourth prince's wing, and the guests screamed in fright."
"They can fly!"
The clerk's eyes widened when he said this, and he said with shock and fear: "These weirdos flew directly to the lobby from the fifth floor!"
"They looted all the way, and they robbed everything they encountered!"
"The guests' food and drink, they will grab and eat it as soon as they see it!"
The clerk's face turned pale, as if recalling something extremely terrible.
He shivered for a while, and then continued: "The fourth prince's personal guards and the guards of Suiyulou were all dispatched, but the four weirdos still couldn't be stopped!"
"Because it was inconvenient for the fourth prince to show up, he entrusted Suiyulou to report to Jingzhao Mansion because he was attacked by thieves..."
The more the clerk talked, the more frightened he became, and his face became paler and paler.
He rubbed his arms that were about to get goosebumps, and stammered: "But in the end, Jingzhao Mansion did not track down these four weirdos."
The audience was silent and shocked.
Pei Yi vaguely remembered something.
She subconsciously turned her head to look at Huo Yuan, who just turned to look at her.
The moment their eyes met, the two of them turned away tacitly, and they both understood what was going on.
Where did the four weirdos come from?
Couldn’t it be that a few of them went drunk and went crazy in Suiyulou that night?
The others added fuel and vinegar, and all four of them became monsters flying into the sky.
Pei Yi blushed when she thought about it.
After all, almost half a year has passed, and she only vaguely remembered that the girl in the wing had a soft chest, smooth skin, and white, long, straight legs...
Who would have thought that this girl would be Zhou Jieyu!
Pei Yi secretly felt guilty, but felt that it was really bad luck.
The old emperor was in a bad mood, to be precise, he was surprised and angry.
He had never seen any scenes before, so he naturally wouldn't think that he encountered some weird person who would jump into the sky like this clerk.
The four people who appeared on New Year’s Eve were truly daring, but also amazingly capable—they managed to escape even after being surrounded by a group of royal guards and guards.
The old emperor had a deep sense of crisis.
He felt that those four masters of the rivers and lakes were coming for him—these people are hiding in the dark now, waiting for the right time to kill him.
The old emperor suddenly had murderous intentions in his heart, and ordered in a cold voice: "Commander Sun, strictly investigate the four 'strange people' who appeared in Suiyulou on New Year's Eve!"
"The last general takes orders!" Commander Sun said solemnly.
His thoughts are actually quite similar to those of the old emperor, and he also feels that these four so-called "weirds" are a great threat to the stability of Kyoto.
When Pei Yi heard the old emperor's murderous order, she immediately felt her temples throbbing.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples in embarrassment, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Huo Yuan was also embarrassed.
Both of their parties felt a little bit out of control.
"Master Pei, you don't need to worry about this matter." The old emperor said coldly, "The third child is innocent, so you don't have to run away for him anymore."
Pei Yi knew that the old emperor wanted the inner guard to take over the matter of "searching for strange people".
She had no intention of claiming credit, and was actually relieved to hear the old emperor's arrangement.
And when she heard the old emperor admit that Huo Yuan was innocent, she was greatly relieved.
As long as the emperor lets go, then the matter of Huo Yuan will be finalized, and Huo Yuan finally got out of Zhou Jieyu's affair.
"Let's all step down." The old emperor said with an unhappy expression.
Although Pei Yi said her heart was relaxed and happy, she didn't show the slightest bit on her face, and said respectfully, "I will take my leave."
Huo Yuan, Xun Huan, and Xiao Junji also rose to respectfully leave.
The old emperor looked at the backs of these young people walking away, and couldn't help laughing: "Pei Sanlang is really lucky."
Although Commander Sun thought so in his heart, he dared not cater to the emperor. What's more, his impression of Mr. Pei is really good, and he doesn't want to talk about Pei Yi behind his back.
"Did you find anything else today?" The old emperor asked with a gloomy expression.
Commander Sun was very vigilant.
He didn't dare to hide anything, and proposed very seriously: "The general implores Your Majesty to strictly investigate Suiyulou!"
Seeing that his attitude was different, the old emperor couldn't help but feel a sinking heart, and asked in a cold voice, "What did Suiyulou do?"
Commander Sun lowered his head and reported in detail: "The general just went to Suiyulou today, and he hasn't conducted a detailed investigation on him. I don't know what Suiyulou has been doing for a living these years. However, Suiyulou The shopkeeper of Yulou is indeed arrogant and disrespectful, and is very contemptuous of His Majesty. It seems that there must be something wrong with this kind of restaurant!"
The old emperor was very angry.
As the king of a country under one person and above ten thousand people, the last thing he can accept is someone who despises his majesty and imperial power.
The old emperor was engulfed in anger, and ordered sullenly: "Strictly investigate the Suiyulou! No matter who is behind the Suiyulou, they will all be arrested! I will personally interrogate such rebellious people!"
Commander Sun felt the real anger of the old emperor, and he couldn't help feeling a little panicked, but he still responded calmly: "The last general takes orders."
Another compartment.
Pei Yi and others walked out of the palace and got into the carriage together.
Now everyone can be regarded as a person who has shared adversity, and the atmosphere is much more harmonious than before.
Xun Huan smiled sincerely, and congratulated: "Your Highness has been wronged now, so you can return to the Prince's Mansion with confidence and boldness."
The focus of this sentence is of course in the back.
The third prince stays in Xiaopei's mansion these days, it is really an eyesore, Xun Huan has long wished that the prince would leave quickly.
Xiao Junji, as a big jealousy vat, coincides with Xun Huan's idea, so at the moment he is smiling quite sincerely. He said sincerely: "Yes, now that the crisis is lifted, the third prince no longer needs to hide in Xiao Pei's mansion."
Huo Yuan smiled kindly and thanked, but quickly changed the topic: "This time the secret in the palace was covered up by all of us."
"Xiao Shizi and Xun Sijie should also know that although in fact the inner guards went to the mansion to commit violence because of some scandals, on the surface the inner guards are to deal with the king's private life."
"So, in order to be more realistic, I think it's appropriate to stay in Xiao Pei's mansion for a few more days."
Xiao Junji opened his eyes slightly, with shock written all over his face, cursing secretly in his heart: When did the third prince become as shameless as me? Wasn't this guy quite reserved and awkward before?
Xun Huan was also inexplicably surprised, completely dumbstruck.
He clearly remembered that the third prince had always maintained his identity.
When he was in Linhe County, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the third prince was interested in Saburo, but the third prince still put on airs every day and refused to admit it.
How could such a face-conscious person be so shameless all of a sudden?
The villain in Xun Huan's heart beat his chest and stomped his feet, and cursed at the sky: God! Could it be that after staying with me for a long time, the damned third prince got my "super thick-skinned" true biography? !
Pei Yi saw the astonishment of these two men, and couldn't help feeling amused.
The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were stained with a smile, and she said gently: "Your Highness, you have stayed in my house long enough. Now that the truth is out, you can go back home."
This is the eviction order issued euphemistically.
Huo Yuan was very disappointed, but he also knew that what Pei Yi said was true.
He had no choice but to reluctantly agree: "Then go back home. But I have to pack up before I can go back."
Xiao Junji wanted this shameless prince to leave quickly, frowned and asked impatiently: "What else do you need to clean up? When you came to Xiaopei's mansion, you didn't bring anything with you. You have nothing to worry about. Yes, come clean and leave cleanly."
Huo Yuan's words to "clean up" were originally just an excuse.
Now that Xiao Junji exposed him so mercilessly, Huo Yuan was so ashamed that he couldn't find any more excuses.
Xun Huan was afraid that this shameless love rival would make some foolish tricks, so he quickly followed Xiao's love rival and said: "Your Highness, it is troublesome now, you have to return to the Prince's Mansion to take charge of the overall situation. If you have been How decent is it to stay in Xiao Pei's mansion?"
Although Huo Yuan has finally developed a little bit of thick-skinnedness in the matter of pursuing Pei Yi, he himself is still quite thin-skinned. At this moment, two rivals in love stand on the commanding heights of reason or morality to persuade him for a while. Fan, his handsome face was already slightly flushed, how could he think of any stupid tricks to stay in Xiao Pei's house?
Pei Yi saw that the men had settled the discussion, so she told the groom Li Zhong: "Uncle Zhong, go to the Third Prince's Mansion first."
This is to send Huo Yuan back to the Third Prince's Mansion.
Huo Yuan felt a sense of loss in his heart, and he pursed his lips a few times, after all, he didn't have the cheek to continue lobbying Pei Yi.
Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the Third Prince's Mansion.
Huo Yuan got off the carriage, and bid farewell to Pei Yiyi.
At first, Pei Yi still said some sensational things to Huo Yuan, but later, she became impatient, and said with a bit of anger: "My horses are getting impatient."
Huo Yuan said goodbye resentfully.
Pei Yi urged the carriage to set off quickly, for fear that this man would stop her for a long time.
The wheels turned, and Pei Yi shook slightly as the carriage moved.
She thought about it, but she still couldn't hold back and lifted the curtains to look out, only to see that Liang Liude was crying at his master at the steps of the Prince's Mansion.
Sure enough, servants follow the Lord, and they all love to cry in the same way.
Pei Yi thought this silently in her heart, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the curtains of the car fell directly to block the scenery outside.
With Huo Yuan, the rival in love, gone in the car, Xun Huan and Xiao Junji immediately rushed over and sat on both sides of Pei Yi.
The two men tried their best to express themselves and take advantage of the opportunity.
Pei Yi silently supported her forehead, and directly put her hands into her wide sleeves, not giving the man a chance to touch her hands at all.
But the two men were extremely dishonest, and they wanted to touch their legs when they couldn't touch their little hands.
What a beautiful idea!
Pei Yi frowned, and coughed very coldly.
The hands of the two men who had already stretched out towards Pei Yi's thigh froze in mid-air, and then retreated with hatred.
Pei Yi glanced at the two men who were about to move, and pointedly said: "I heard that the behavior of a big family is to be famous and important first, and then have a physical relationship."
Xiao Junji immediately interjected: "I have given you my marriage, so I am famous and have a share."
Xun Huan was stunned, looking at his rival in love with a face of shock, his mind was full of: What? Is Xiao Junji already married? What "good things" did this **** do when I was in the army? ! How shameless!
Pei Yi choked for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "When did you get married? How come I, the client, don't know anything about it?"
Xiao Junji said slyly: "Pei Xiangguo and I have already talked about getting married, and Pei Xiangguo agreed."
It would be fine if he didn't say this sentence, but Pei Yi would not believe it at all once he said this sentence.
She looked mockingly at the man who was about to stick to her body, and said with a disdainful smile: "My father may indeed agree to marry you, but he definitely doesn't recognize you as a son-in-law."
Xiao Junji was dismantled, but he didn't panic at all, and tried to continue to confuse the public.
However, before he could open his mouth, Xun Huan launched an attack first: "Xiao Shizi, you have to be honest, and you can't tolerate any lies in matters of marriage. Since you haven't really entered into a marriage, don't hang on to it all day long." Speaking of words, this will cause others to misunderstand, how much will it affect Sanlang Qingyu?"
Xiao Junji was angry, and was about to speak out, but Pei Yi stopped him and said, "If you want to quarrel, get out of the car and quarrel."
The two men resentfully closed their mouths.
After a while, the carriage returned to Xiao Pei's mansion.
Pei Yi repeated her old trick, and planned to be the first to get off the carriage as quickly as possible.
However, the men have learned to be smart, and they are even faster than her.
Ever since, Pei Yi saw Xun Huan and Xiao Junji standing on both sides of the carriage, both stretched out their hands towards her, both were smiling, their eyes were full of longing, and they were silently shouting: Saburo! choose me! choose me!
Pei Yi pinched the bridge of her nose, she really felt her head was getting bigger.
How do you choose people?
No matter who chooses, the other will definitely make a fuss!
What a longevity!
