Chapter 079 Confrontation
If it wasn't Zong Zhengshen who did it, who could have done it?
Ran Shaotang thought she would be locked up in a dirty and crude woodshed, but she didn't know that the treatment she was receiving was beyond her imagination.
After the thief put her down, he locked the door and left.
Shaotang waited for a long time until there was no movement around her, then she slowly and carefully opened her eyes.
The moonlight was bright tonight, and with the help of the moonlight, she saw that it was a simple bedroom with the doors and windows closed, obviously afraid that she would escape.
She jumped from the bed, landed gently on the ground, and tiptoed to the door to listen to what was going on outside.
Zhong Jiuchou found out that Shaotang had been kidnapped and immediately called Su Lun over.
"What were you doing just now? Didn't you hear such a big noise?" Zhong Jiuchou was already furious.
Su Lun had heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground before, and thought it was the young master lecturing the young master, so he did not come over to check on the situation. Now that he saw the situation in front of him, he was so upset that he could not speak.
He knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists to admit his mistake: "This subordinate has neglected his duty, please punish me, young master."
Zhong Jiuchou originally wanted to talk to Shaotang about the dangers of Zong Zhengshen. Of course, it would be best to smooth out the deal between the two.
Unexpectedly, not only did he get nothing, but he was also teased by Shaotang. He was already furious, and now he saw that the person was missing. He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he turned his anger on Su Lun.
After calming down and thinking about the various possibilities for Shaotang's disappearance, the biggest suspicion was that Zong Zhengshen was repeating his old tricks.
There was a chill in Zhong Jiuchou's eyes. He stood up and walked around the house. After a while, he found the hole in the window paper where the incense was inserted. He waved his hand: "Gather all the Shuras in Qianmen Town and give me Zong Zhengshen's mansion." Surround it. No one can enter or leave without my order."
"Yes, young master." Su Lun got the token and immediately summoned his men.
Finally, Jiuchou raised the corners of his robe and jumped out of the window, his graceful posture disappearing into the vast night.
In order to make it easier for him to keep an eye on Ran Shaotang's whereabouts in the future, Zong Zhengshen bought a large house in Qianmen Town and had it renovated. Although it was not comparable to Prince Rui's Mansion in Jiancheng, it was better in Qianmen Town. It can be regarded as one of the best luxury houses.
After all, he was in another country. To avoid being too showy and causing trouble, he had someone write the word "Meng Mansion" on the plaque.
Meng De felt guilty after seeing this, and several times he wanted to persuade the Third Highness to change the name to a clan house. It would also be a cover-up.
Today, after hearing the argument between his master and Tang Ran, he finally understood that a single sect name was a taboo and must not be mentioned.
He carefully escorted Zong Zhengshen into the bathroom and asked two maids to go in and take care of him while he guarded him outside.
Meng De looked at the bright moon in the sky, looked at the treetops and roofs again, and secretly felt relieved.
In fact, his master kept a lot of secret guards around him. The two teams usually hid in the dark, and even he couldn't detect them.
The master will not use these people until the critical moment, for fear that their strength will be exposed and affect his contest with the eldest prince.
Meng De was sitting on the porch and was about to close his eyes and take a nap when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the door of the mansion.
The housekeeper hurried over to report to him: "Commander Meng, our mansion is surrounded by a group of people. They are holding torches, carrying swords on their waists, and sitting on horses, as if they are coming with bad intentions."
"Let's go, I'll go take a look with you."
Meng De looked back at the bathroom and walked quickly towards the door of the house.
The four boys were leaning against the crossbar on the door, not daring to open the door to anyone outside.
Seeing Meng De coming, he immediately found the backbone and shouted, "Commander Meng."
Meng De winked, and the four people immediately moved the crossbar blocking the door.
The vermilion door slowly opened, and the first thing Meng De saw sitting on the tall horse facing him was Su Lun, whom he had just fought with at noon.
"Oh, who did I think it was? It turned out to be Shura Palace. Why, when did Shura Palace start robbing families and homes?"
Meng De took a quick look and saw that forty or fifty Shuras were blocking the door, each wearing a mask and looking fierce. The words "Shura Palace" were embroidered in gold on the black collar, which was particularly dazzling and arrogant under the moonlight.
Listening to the sound of horse hooves, there are many people from Shura Palace in the front and back yards.
Meng De thought something was wrong.
Could it be that Zhong Jiuchou had already found Xu Youdao, confirmed the deal between Xu Youdao and His Highness Third Prince, and came here specifically to investigate?
I hope that the secret forces of His Highness the Third Highness can compete with the Shura Palace, otherwise I will really not be able to sleep well tonight.
When Su Lun saw Meng De looking like he was in need of a beating, he wished he could fight him for hundreds more rounds immediately until he was defeated.
But he came to look for the young master after getting orders from Zhong Jiuchou. He couldn't cause any trouble until he was found, so he had no choice but to keep talking.
"Mengde, robbing families and homes is what your clan masters are good at doing. We at Shura Palace have principles to do things. We at Shura Palace have always been ashamed of your master's immoral behavior of robbing people.
I can’t do it.” All the Shura burst into laughter.
"You?" Meng De was speechless for a moment.
In Zhourao, the word "feng" that people dare not mention the most is "feng". They are also most afraid of talking about the affairs of the previous dynasty, which can easily get into trouble.
The Zongzheng royal family tabooed these past histories.
If, like other countries, a country is conquered by its ability, then it is called a hero who saves the people from fire and water, and is praised by everyone.
But this country was obtained through conspiracy and trickery.
Not only did he cheat the country, but he also failed to keep his promise and killed all the royal family who gave up the country.
How can a gentleman do such a thing?
Although Zongzheng's ancestors have been asking literati and historians to clear their names, they can't stop the world from saying so.
The taboos of Zhou Rao's country are all jokes in other countries.
Therefore, one word from Su Lun made Meng De crumble.
Although he is not ashamed of the scandals committed by the first generation royal family, it has nothing to do with His Highness Munamasa Shinzo.
His Highness, the Third Highness, is tolerant to others and has always been kind to the poor, the common people, and guards and generals like them.
His Highness the Third Highness is a good master who is worthy of going through fire and water.
Thinking of this, Meng De's arrogance grew again, "Su Lun, why did you besiege someone else's house in the middle of the night?"
Su Lun sneered twice: "Mengde, if you had asked me this earlier, would you still have been humiliated by me? You have done something immoral yourself, and you still come to ask me? Come on, tell me, what do you want to do by kidnapping my young master?
?”
After hearing what he said, Meng De was angry and annoyed.
"What does your young master's disappearance have to do with us? Thinking that you are Shura Palace, you can just make false accusations against good people?"
Su Lun expected that he would not recognize him. At this moment, Shura had already sneaked into the mansion and quietly searched for the person.
He was just trying to hold off Meng De. This guy's martial arts skills were not inferior to his own, so he would be a trouble to deal with.
So we can only use our wits.
Su Lun laughed twice more: "Are you good people? The last time the young master crashed into a car was not planned by your master. My character Su is written backwards. Don't think that if you kill Xu Youdao, you can't find witnesses to testify against you. I'm still here
You are more like pretending to be a good person, but I think you are an actor."
Su Lun's nonsense and random accusations made Meng De angry to death.
He didn't want to answer Su Lun either, so he pulled out his riding whip behind him with a strange cry and swung the long whip straight towards Su Lun.
Su Lun jumped up from his horse, dodged his attack, drew his sword, and started fighting with him.
Zong Zhengshen closed his eyes and soaked in the bathtub, and his mind was filled with the second volume of "The Art of Confused Mind".
