Concubine in power
Chapter 52
Lu Zhiyao looked at the man in front of him with flickering eyes, and finally smiled bitterly.She lowered her voice and asked, "With such courage, you are not afraid that I will catch you now?"
Lu Zhiyao never thought that Chu Ziqian, whom they wanted to catch with all their heart, would sneak into the Prime Minister's mansion in a disguised way.If he hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, who would have thought that he was right under his nose?
"You're not willing." Chu Ziqian raised his eyebrows and smiled, and after seeing the sudden change in the mood in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, he also became serious. "Don't want to save your little maid?"
When Chu Ziqian talked about Wanyue, Lu Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat.Scanning the surroundings from the corner of the eye, Lu Zhiyao said with a calm expression, "Come with me."
Lu Zhiyao went back to his room and called everyone out.Because no one expected Chu Ziqian to show up in broad daylight, so when Yudie and Lan Ruoling heard Lu Zhiyao say that the servant she brought back was from Ye Lianrong's side, when they wanted to ask him a few questions , and left happily.
In the empty room, Chu Ziqian's smile gradually became malicious.Lu Zhiyao glanced at his evil smile, and smiled coldly. "Tell me, what do you know. You took my maid?"
"Miss, don't wrong a good person. Besides, I have high vision. Since I have a crush on you, how could I attack that little maid of yours who hasn't grown up?" Chu Ziqian casually leaned back on the chair On his back, he picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite, then said to Lu Zhiyao: "If I help you find someone back, what good will you do me?"
"What benefits do you want?"
"I want you."
Chu Ziqian's words made Lu Zhiyao want to beat him up.Looking at Chu Ziqian silently, the faint chill emanating from Lu Zhiyao's body clearly expressed her meaning.
Chu Ziqian saw that there was nothing to gain, so he wanted to get up and leave.But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Lu Zhiyao.
"What do you think this is? Do you really think that you can come and go whenever you want?"
"Otherwise?" Chu Ziqian turned around with a bright smile, not feeling that those Lan Ruoling people outside could really do anything to him.
"Would you like to take a gamble and see if I can catch you?" Lu Zhiyao also stood up with a smile on his face, lowered his head and gracefully rolled up his sleeves, and said something that surprised Chu Ziqian Come.
Although this Lu Zhiyao is a bit different compared to other young ladies, at least she didn't yell like killing a pig after seeing her and knowing her identity, but Chu Zi Qian also didn't feel that she had the strength to say such a thing.
Chu Ziqian turned around and looked at Lu Zhiyao, and asked, "Lan Ruoling can't even catch me, can you?"
"Try it. If I lose, this body will be yours for one night, but you have to tell me where my maid is now, how about it?"
"No regrets?"
"Never regret it." Lu Zhiyao's confident tone kept Chu Ziqian silent for a long time.The two stood opposite each other, looking at each other wordlessly.
Chu Ziqian nodded slowly, causing Lu Zhiyao's dim eyes to shine again, strode up to Chu Ziqian, Lu Zhiyao looked up at him slightly and asked, "Where is Wanyue?" ?”
Chu Ziqian sighed softly, recalling the scene he saw that day, and slowly told Lu Zhiyao what happened.
After Chu Ziqian met Lu Zhiyao that night, he was busy picking the "flowers" he had long set his eyes on.After getting rid of Lan Ruoling, he had a happy night. The next day when the sky was slightly bright, Chu Ziqian made up his mind to sneak into the prime minister's mansion.But when passing by a small alley behind the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chu Ziqian happened to see the scene of Wanyue being tied up.
"Three men, moving very quickly, I can see that they came prepared."
"Do you know where they took him?" Lu Zhiyao asked anxiously.
"I'm not interested in that girl, so I didn't go with her. But..." Chu Ziqian changed the subject, and Lu Zhiyao, who was just about to scold him nonsense, had to swallow the words back. "They all have the same tattoo on their body, I can see it very clearly."
Three people with the same kind of tattoo, are they like-minded partners?Or an organized gang?
"What else do you know?" Lu Zhiyao thought, since Chu Ziqian dared to act good, he should know some other inside stories.
"What's so good..."
Before Chu Ziqian finished speaking, Lu Zhiyao forcefully pushed his right hand back.Lu Zhiyao's speed was very fast and his strength was great, which made Chu Ziqian, who was unprepared, immediately shut up in pain, and stopped talking nonsense.
Chu Ziqian secretly sighed in surprise in his heart, but his mouth was filled with the meaning of knowing everything without saying nothing.
"It's the Beauty Pavilion, which is full of human traffickers who specialize in selling women."
Beauty Pavilion?Lu Zhiyao wrote down the name in his heart, and after confirming with Chu Ziqian again, he said in a low voice: "The day I bring Wanyue back is the day I will compete with you, get lost."
Chu Ziqian walked out of Lu Zhiyao's room, feeling very interested in Lu Zhiyao.Lu Zhiyao watched him walk away slowly, and found Lan Ruoling.
"Does Miss Lan know about the Beauty Pavilion?" Lu Zhiyao asked straight to the point.
Lan Ruoling was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I know, but why are you asking this? Those people are not easy to mess with."
"Wanyue was taken away by them." Lu Zhiyao could tell from Lan Ruoling's expression that this beauty pavilion was not easy to deal with.Moreover, Lu Zhiyao knew more or less about those so-called human traffickers.
Xia Lai Kingdom was established not long after the overthrow of the previous dynasty. The rampant human traffickers made many government offices helpless to them, and many corrupt officials chose to cooperate with these human traffickers and bought them at a low price. The beauties make themselves happy, and then use their own rights to give them invisible protection.
Lu Zhiyao sat on the chair and pressed his temples with some headaches.Looking at Lu Zhiyao's sad look, Lan Ruoling felt a little embarrassed, because the Beauty Pavilion was really not easy to move.Not for anything else, but for the real pavilion master behind the scenes, Lan Ruoling would not help Lu Zhiyao intervene in this matter again.
"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter." Lan Ruoling spoke softly, with a hint of guilt in her words.
"It's okay, I'll figure out a way myself." Lu Zhiyao smiled understandingly, "Catching that prostitute Chu Ziqian will help me the most."
Lan Ruoling walked out of Lu Zhiyao's room hesitantly, Lu Zhiyao thought hard, and felt that there was still something he had neglected.Since the Beauty Pavilion is such a powerful organization, why did it choose Wanyue?Someone must be behind the scenes, so who is this person?
Lan Ruoling made her attitude clear, so the only one Lu Zhiyao could rely on was himself.Bringing Yudie to tell her that she has found out Wanyue's whereabouts, Yudie's joyful expression made Lu Zhiyao's heart a little sting.
It has been two days, and even if Wanyue is rescued, it will take a few more days.For so many days, she didn't know if Wanyue would be ruined by those beasts. Lu Zhiyao had to worry about Wanyue when she remembered the memory of being thrown into prison and among those rogues.Wanyue has a strong temper, if she commits suicide like she did back then, then...
"Yudie, now only the two of us can rescue Wanyue, and I can't point out the people in the yamen outside. I have to tell you something first, so you have to listen carefully."
Lu Zhiyao's words made Yudie's nerves tense, she nodded nervously, looked at Lu Zhiyao intently, and listened to her words.
"The one who took Wanyue away was an organization called 'Beauty Pavilion'. Lan Ruoling didn't dare to interfere in this matter, so you should be able to imagine how troublesome this matter is. I promise you, I will definitely do my best I can bring Wanyue back, but I don't guarantee that Wanyue's body will still be intact when she comes back. I'm not afraid of anything else, I'm only afraid that Wanyue has been sold and ruined by them. In case Wanyue would rather die than submit If you choose to commit suicide, then..."
"Miss, stop talking!" Yudie was terrified, tears were already rolling in her eyes. "Wanyue will be fine, she will be fine!"
"I hope so." Lu Zhiyao looked at Yudie with a heavy heart. Although he promised her that he would save Wanyue, Lu Zhiyao still had no idea what to do. "Don't tell anyone else about this, including your mother, understand? Just tell her that we have found Wanyue's whereabouts and have already sent someone to pick it up. If Aunt Chang's body stays like this for a few more days, I'm afraid She won't be able to take it."
"Okay, I'll tell mother now." Yudie nodded with tears in her eyes, and then walked out.
After Yudie left, Lu Zhiyao punched the table.No matter what, you have to find out where the Beauty Pavilion is first.Lan Ruoling didn't dare to come forward to help, but it should be possible to provide herself with some information, right?
After Lan Ruoling knew that the Beauty Pavilion was involved, she immediately went back and reported to Lin Yinan.After hearing what Lan Ruoling said, Lin Yinan's first reaction was that Lu Zhiyao was going to make a big fuss this time.
Lin Yinan smiled slightly, glanced at Lan Ruoling's uneasy expression, and ordered: "Keep an eye on her, and come back and tell me if she makes any moves."
"Master, do you intend to intervene in this matter?"
Lan Ruoling asked worriedly, Lin Yinan never cared about foreign affairs before, so his enemies were only those of the prince.But if things continue like this, Lan Ruoling is very worried that Lin Yinan will get more involved in Lu Zhiyao's affairs, and there will be more and more enemies at that time.
"I have my own plan, let's go." Lin Yinan didn't answer Lan Ruoling's question directly, his calm gaze became turbulent after Lan Ruoling left, Lin Yinan suddenly wanted to know, if Lu Zhiyao knew what she provoked this time After who is the person, how will she clean up this mess?
Lu Zhiyao never thought that Chu Ziqian, whom they wanted to catch with all their heart, would sneak into the Prime Minister's mansion in a disguised way.If he hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, who would have thought that he was right under his nose?
"You're not willing." Chu Ziqian raised his eyebrows and smiled, and after seeing the sudden change in the mood in Lu Zhiyao's eyes, he also became serious. "Don't want to save your little maid?"
