Super sweet!After being reborn, Zuo Xiang was teased by me to the point that his legs were soft

Chapter 116 Chen Xiong is definitely not the mastermind
"Of course." Mo Beiyu nodded, but he didn't tell her that more than half of the twelve hidden guards he had on hand had been protecting her in the dark.

So now he actually only has a few people on hand.

Chu Qinglan nodded her head reassuringly when she heard this, and immediately stopped talking, and followed him to the nearest painter Su's house.

By the time they arrived at Painter Su's house, all the painters in Fucheng had already gathered at the painter's house.

These painters were all specially invited by Mo Beiyu in advance, but everyone still doesn't know why Mo Beiyu suddenly invited them here.

Seeing that Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu had finally arrived, after seeing the ceremony, everyone scrambled forward and asked, "Eldest Princess, Your Excellency Prime Minister, what do you mean by calling us here?"

"Yes, yes, we have been here for so long, but we still don't know what we are here for. I would like to ask the Eldest Princess and the Prime Minister to clear up the doubts for us."

"..."

Everyone kept asking me one sentence at a time, and the small house was instantly noisy, and it was hard to tell how noisy it was.

Seeing this, Chu Qinglan did not explain, but said: "Please be quiet, I also have a reason for the Prime Minister to invite you here today. As for the reason, please forgive me for not being able to tell for the time being. .”

Everyone immediately became anxious when they heard the words: "No, Eldest Princess, you called us here and didn't tell us why you called us here, this, this, this..."

Chu Qinglan knew that everyone would be anxious if they didn't hear the answer, but it didn't matter, she had already prepared her speech.

"Listen to me, everyone. Although we can't tell you the reason, it's only temporary. As long as you wait patiently, you will soon know why we suddenly gathered you here."

Although everyone still had doubts after hearing this, they were no longer as anxious as before, and each returned to their original seats and sat down.

Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu didn't dare to be idle, and immediately asked people to turn off all the lights in the house, but the door was wide open, as if they were waiting for someone to come.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but feel that it was very strange. They wanted to ask a question, but they didn't dare to ask.

So in the end, everyone didn't dare to ask any questions, but only dared to look at the door with their necks raised.

It got dark very quickly, and it didn't take long before the surroundings became pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.

All the people in the hall were still sitting in their original positions. In the darkness, you looked at me and I looked at you. No one knew how long this situation would last.

One of the painters, Painter Su, probably couldn't sit still anymore, moved his waist, and was about to stand up from his seat to stretch his muscles.

Who knew that Painter Su's body moved a bit, and before anyone could stand up from the Taishi's chair, suddenly there was a violent fighting sound.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed that someone broke in through the window from the outside. With a loud "bang", everyone present was immediately frightened into a mess, trembling and preparing to find a place to hide. At this time, the oil lamp was suddenly caught. People light up.

The room was full of brilliance suddenly, and the sound of fighting stopped abruptly.

Everyone was startled and suspicious for a moment, and they forgot to run for their lives in an instant, and they could only instinctively turn their heads and look in the direction where the original voice came from.

Only then did everyone realize that there was a large group of people in the room.

One of them was wearing night clothes and a black face scarf, and was being pressed to the ground by a group of men in official uniforms.

"Princess, Prime Minister, what's going on?" Painter Su asked hastily.

Mo Beiyu waved his hand: "It's nothing, this is the end of today, everyone forget it, as for what you saw today, please forget it, don't say it casually."

This situation is obvious at first glance, but the prime minister of the current dynasty has said so, and these ordinary people are not good at talking, so they just obediently obey the orders and go back to their respective homes.

After a while, only Chu Qinglan, Mo Beiyu, a group of hidden guards and the man in black who was caught just now were left in the room.

"Take off the mask from his face, I want to see who has the guts." Chu Qinglan ordered coldly.

Hearing this, the dark guard immediately took off the veil from the man in black's face.

Chu Qinglan originally thought that she could see a thin face, but after looking at it for a long time, she still felt strange.

In desperation, Chu Qinglan had no choice but to ask bluntly: "Who are you? Who sent you here? What is the purpose?"

"I, I just saw how rich this store looks like, so I wanted to come in and secretly steal some valuables and sell them back." Gao Hu, the man in black, replied staggeringly.

Seeing the stuttering appearance in black, Chu Qinglan couldn't help but exchanged glances with Mo Beiyu.

That look seemed to be saying to him: "Isn't this guy the one that the dentist said before?"

However, the person in front of him looked very stupid, and judging by the clothes on his body, his status should be a little better than ordinary people, and he didn't look like a mastermind who could plan such a big game of chess.

It can be seen that this person is nothing more than an accomplice, and the real mastermind is someone else.

Chu Qinglan leaned over and pinched Gao Hu's chin: "Come on, don't think we don't know, you are not an ordinary thief at all! Tell me, who sent you here? Also, what is your purpose? What?"

"Princess, I really don't know what you are talking about."

"I don't know what I'm talking about, but how do you know that I'm the eldest princess of Daqing, huh?"

Gao Hu's expression changed: "That's because of me, I've seen you on the street before, that's why I know you belong to the eldest princess."

Chu Qinglan laughed coldly with a "hum", "So you are determined not to tell the truth, right?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, she suddenly let go of the other party's chin, and said coldly: "Okay, since you refuse to tell the truth, then you can take your words to Lord Hades."

Then he waved his hand to signal the hidden guard to kill him now.

Gao Hu had received the iron wrist of those hidden guards before.

At this moment, seeing those hidden guards drawing their knives and preparing to slash at him, how could Gao Hu bear it now?
Frightened, he hurriedly said loudly before the knife fell: "My name is Gao Hu, yes, I was sent by the magistrate Chen Xiong!"

He didn't tell the truth completely, because the person who really sent him here was Chu Yurou, the third princess of Daqing. As for Chen Xiong, he was at most just an accomplice.

Chu Yurou's status was noble, he didn't dare to identify it casually, but Chen Xiong was different.

Chen Xiong is just a magistrate, besides, he has long been unhappy with Chen Xiong, taking this opportunity to drag Chen Xiong into the water, not only can save himself but also take revenge on Chen Xiong, it is like killing two birds with one stone.

But who are Chu Qinglan and Mo Beiyu, how could they be deceived by him in a few words.

"Chen Xiong?" Chu Qinglan raised her eyebrows. "Are you sure it's him?"

"Of course it's confirmed, because he ordered me to do everything."

"Besides him alone, is there anyone else instigating you?" Chu Qinglan asked again.

Gao Hu immediately looked away, and said in a weak voice, "No, no, he is the only one."

As he said that, Gao Hu suddenly became emotional: "Princess, everything I said is true, and please believe me, that Chen Xiong is not a good person at all, you are now Go and arrest him and do justice for the heavens! The common people will be very grateful to you."

Chu Qinglan just listened silently and ignored Gao Hu.

She didn't believe that Chen Xiong was the only mastermind, and looking at Gao Hu like this, it was clear that he and Chen Xiong were not against each other.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Gao Hu to obey Chen Xiong's orders, but to obey another person, and this person is very likely to be far above Chen Xiong in status.

And who would this be?
Chu Qinglan was thinking hard. At this moment, Mo Beiyu, who had been standing silently by the side, suddenly called out, "Lan'er, come out with me first."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinglan immediately followed him out obediently.

Mo Beiyu didn't stop until he walked a little farther and was sure that the people in the room could not hear the voices of the two of them talking. Mo Beiyu stopped, looked at Chu Qinglan, and opened his mouth with a concise sentence: "Chen Xiong is by no means Mastermind."
