Chapter 105 Go to hell
The reason why Prince Chu trusted him so much was not only because of the steward in his household.
It was also because he often sent women who pleased Prince Chu, and it was he who proposed a novel idea—recycling vessels.
They specifically targeted the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled, cutting off their limbs and chopping their ears into minced meat, which they then put into buckets to serve as a container for their masters' filth.
Some noble children have that kind of hobby and enjoy it. In short, those who are sent there are not treated as human beings, but merely as their playthings.
This allowed Prince Chu to make many friends, and some of these friends even helped him seize the throne, so Prince Chu naturally trusted him.
Jiang Zhi removed the gag from Steward Wang's mouth and said in a gloomy tone, "You are the steward of Prince Chu's mansion. Do you know what the final fate of the women sent to Prince Chu's mansion is?"
The steward paused slightly, somewhat confused, and lied, "This old servant is just a steward and has no idea what you're talking about."
do not know?
She reached out and forcefully pulled the manager's hair. "Then let me put it another way. Do you know Hua Muyan, the daughter of Doctor Hua of Zhongjing Hall?"
The steward screamed in agony, and just as he was about to die from the pain, Jiang Zhi released him.
The manager tilted his head, his face filled with terror.
He knew the woman Jiang Zhi mentioned; she was the one he had personally sent to the Chu Prince's residence.
The day before yesterday, he went to Zhongjingtang to get medicine. Hua Muyan was so beautiful that she could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky. Prince Chu was also urging him to go, so he sent her to Prince Chu's mansion overnight.
However, she was truly frail and died after only a few blows.
He didn't let her go either; after taking advantage of her, he threw her into a mass grave.
He trembled and said, "This old servant really, really doesn't know."
Jiang Zhi snorted coldly, pulled out a dagger from his clothes, and stabbed at Steward Wang's right thigh.
Steward Wang screamed repeatedly.
Jiang Zhi pulled out the dagger, wiped the blood off it with his clothes, and said, "Do you understand now?"
"I know, I know," he replied repeatedly, provoked by the pain from the dagger.
He stammered, "She, she..."
"Prince Chu had always heard that Doctor Hua's daughter was incredibly beautiful, so he sent her to Prince Chu's residence the night before last. But who would have thought that this woman was so frail, and she died in no time."
"He was thrown into a mass grave yesterday."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shi and Shu Yao, who were sitting to the side, immediately widened their eyes.
Jiang Zhi's pupils constricted sharply; she had actually been...
In her previous life, Jiang Zhi had no connection with Hua Muyan, but her parents were a famous doctor couple in Yanjing, dedicated to saving lives.
She even felt a pang of regret that she hadn't been able to save their daughter.
Jiang Zhi's gaze was icy as he glanced at Shu Yao, who nodded.
With a swift stroke, the supervisor's limbs were gone, leaving only his body.
But she felt something was off. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she ordered, "Go to Zhongjing Hall."
She suspects someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes, but she can't be sure who it is.
-
The carriage stopped not far from Zhongjing Hall.
Jiang Zhi lifted the carriage curtain, his gaze falling on the tightly closed door, sealed off by the government.
Wu Shi frowned slightly, looking at Jiang Zhi with some confusion.
"Your Highness, why has Zhongjing Hall been sealed off?"
Jiang Zhi stared at him for a long time, his eyes deep and dark.
He turned to Wu Shi and instructed him, "Go down and find out why Zhongjingtang is closed and whether something has happened to the shopkeeper."
He received his orders and left at noon.
Although Zhongjingtang was closed, the two adjacent shops are still operating normally.
A moment later, at noon, the news came back: "Your Highness, the owner of Zhongjing Hall went to the government office to file a complaint with the emperor, but he was beaten up."
"And I heard that the other party also threatened the couple."
Jiang Zhi frowned. "Have you found out who attacked them?"
At noon, he nodded. "I slipped some money to the boss, and he said the person who hit him was a powerful figure from Yanjing."
"They seem to be from the Prince Chu's residence."
Jiang Zhi frowned. "Then where are they?"
“They were badly injured,” Wu Shi said. “They were forced to hide in a beggar's area outside the city, and it’s unclear whether they are alive or dead.”
"But they absolutely refused to leave Yanjing."
"It seems the people from Prince Chu's mansion want to kill them."
Jiang Zhi was suspicious. Why were things developing so quickly, and why would they go to the government office to file a complaint?
How could Prince Chu let them know that he was the one who took their daughter away? Could it be that someone tipped him off?
Who else would want Prince Chu dead?
Jiang Zhi looked at noon and said, "Perhaps, they are unwilling to leave Yanjing because they want to see their daughter one last time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man dressed in a black, tight-fitting long robe walked towards Zhongjing Hall.
Jiang Zhi's gaze fell on him; he was Liu Yunzhu, the head of the Prince Jing's secret guards.
Jiang Zhi had met Liu Yunzhu in his previous life.
Liu Yunzhu was rather burly, with a long, black sword at his waist.
He stood in front of Zhongjing Hall, looking at the white seal on the door with a complicated expression.
Just as he was about to step forward and try to tear off the seal on the door, a young boy beat him to it.
"Young master, are you also looking for a doctor from Zhongjing Hall?"
The young master was startled by Liu Yunzhu's cold and fierce gaze. He took two steps back and hurriedly explained, "I was just asking because I'm also looking for a doctor from Zhongjing Hall. Does the young master know the doctor's whereabouts?"
“My father is in poor health and has always been treated by Dr. Hua, who also prescribed the medicine. Why is he being blocked for no reason?”
"I don't know either," Liu Yunzhu said coldly.
Just then, the owner of the steamed bun shop next door came out from inside.
Seeing the two young men standing in front of Zhongjing Hall, he shook his head helplessly.
"Doctor Hua and his wife have already left. You two should go elsewhere to get your medicine."
The young man stepped forward and asked, "Hello, boss, do you know where that couple went?"
The boss shook his head and sighed.
The young man rolled his eyes, then slipped a silver note to the shopkeeper. "Please tell me, sir."
The shopkeeper looked up at the two people in front of him, reluctantly accepted the silver notes, and said, "Young master, you may not know this, but Doctor Hua went to the government office and the pharmacy was shut down after he returned."
"I heard that he offended a powerful and influential person he couldn't afford to offend, and has now fled to a place where beggars gather outside Yanjing."
"But whether he is dead or alive is unclear."
As soon as the boss finished speaking, Liu Yunzhu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked tremblingly, "Boss, do you know who you have offended?"
The boss unconsciously rubbed his hands together. "I only know the general idea. It seems to be related to Doctor Hua's daughter, Hua Muyan."
"I heard that his daughter mysteriously disappeared the night before last, but I heard yesterday that there was news."
"Who would have thought that the two of them, who only wanted to see their daughter one last time, would be beaten so badly and forced to go to a beggar's place outside Yanjing, alas..."
