Cui Fu gave her younger brother a bad look, but she has to take into consideration the reputation of the royal residence and can’t always find fault in her new sister-in-law.
After offering the tea, Miantang followed Cui Xingzhou back and wanted to change clothes and secretly go to County Zhao to see if the man was her brother Liu Zhanpeng.
How can Cui Xingzhou rest assured of her going alone thus, he said to go together.
However, Miantang said that if the prince went with her, the actions would inevitably be too loud, and it would be bad if there were any leaks.
Cui Xingzhou listened to her refusal but thought that if Miantang wanted to talk to her brother privately, she might not want him to listen.
So he thought for a moment and said, “I must go. I have made arrangements. No one will find out that you are meeting your brother individually. I will wait outside.”
Miantang pursed her mouth and finally nodded silently.
In fact, she was worried about the loyal brothers. After all, they were also in the county government at this time. If they met Prince Huaiyang, she would have to spend more time explaining if he saw the flaw.
However, the prince has already put his word. If she keeps preventing it, she will be doubted. She can only take the opportunity first and act at a later time.
After they got on the carriage, Miantang was a little wilted and sighed leisurely.
Cui Xingzhou was peeling her plums. Hearing her sigh, he looked up at her and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Miantang honestly said what she thought, “I felt like there are more things to consider after marriage. I am not as happy as I was before when no one is in the way…”
Cui Xingzhou didn’t like to hear this little bitch say such strange things, so he couldn’t help glaring at her, “Who is in the way? Are you going to change to another man after being bored with me?”
Miantang didn’t bother to explain to him, but she really admired his ability to keep his mouth shut when he played the role of North Street.
It is like eating too much at night and the food was stuck in her stomach without digesting, reminding her that she can’t be happy.
Miantang finally felt Cui Xingzhou’s dilemma at that time. When they reached County Zhao later, she hope that the loyal brothers will not fail the big characters she wrote in her own handwriting, and have their mouths shut!
When they arrived at the prison of the Government Office of County Zhao, Servant Li’s youngest son made arrangements long before and waited in person at the government office.
Miantang put on a cloak with a hood, covered her tightly, and followed the jailer who led the way into prison.
To tell the truth, the county magistrate took special care of the person who was suspected to be the brother of the new princess consort. Especially when he was placed in a single room. He slept on a wooden bed with soft cushions, and there were still leftover roast chicken and side dishes on the table. The air was also filled with the smell of wine that had not gone away for a long time.
However, the man was still lying on the wooden bed and swearing, “My sister is the princess consort of Prince Huaiyang of the State of Zhen. You ants. When I find my sister, I will cut you into pieces!”
Liu Miantang found a corner and stood, peered at the person in the cell for a while, and then ordered Bicao beside her a few words. After listening, Bicao nodded, and then went straight to him and shouted, “Hey, young man, come here, I have something to ask you.”
After the man came in yesterday and made a big fuss, he found that the yamen guards were more polite to him, so he was sure that the yamen guards knew his identity, and were even not afraid.
Today, she saw a beautiful girl wearing gold and silver standing outside the fence. He got up and looked up and down at Bicao and said with a smile, “Are you the prostitute they found for me? The guards are obedient. I ordered them last night and they sent you today… What are you waiting for? Tell them to let you in and have fun with me!”
Even though Bicao knew that this might be the real brother of the county mayor, she could not bear it. She wanted to go in and kick his root and tear his stinking mouth!
Who was the prostitute? What a blind man!
Although she was angry in her heart, she still remembered the command of the county mayor to lead him over for a clearer look, so she said with a straight face, “Come here, or I will turn around and go.”
The man hadn’t seen such a beautiful little girl for a long time. He thought of his days of extravagance and drunkenness and immediately got up, smiled, and said, “I’m also a young master of an official family. Although I’m in trouble now, when I turn over, I will soar. Just wait. If you serve me well, I will take you in as a concubine…”
Liu Miantang hid in the dark and finally saw the man’s face. Although his head was dirty and grew a beard, the tone of his voice, the look of staring at a woman, and the annoying eyebrows were all her half-blooded brother.
For a moment, all the gloomy memories of her elder brother in childhood flooded up. Miantang slightly loosened the cloak on her neck and slowly exhaled.
Bicao patiently asked, “Let me ask you, how do you know your sister is the Princess Consort of Prince Huaiyang?”
Liu Zhanpeng was stunned when he heard this. He couldn’t think of why a prostitute should ask these questions. He then looked up and down at Bicao carefully. The little girl didn’t smell of dust. She acted like a servant girl in a big house. He immediately reached out to grab the front of Bicao and said, “Are you someone my sister sent to see me? Where is she? Why don’t you save me yet?”
Bicao was caught right in the air. She turned back and asked Miantang what she meant. Liu Miantang was hidden in the dark, with a cold aura all over her body. She stretched out her hands and clenched her fist in the air.
Bicao immediately understood that the first signal was the move of arresting skills which can cause broken tendons and broken bones. It snapped Liu Zhanpeng’s paws.
“Ouch! It hurts… It hurts…” Liu Zhanpeng knelt in pain, and Bicao loosened his pig hand. He then saw him putting his paw on the ground and asked, “Say, who sent you here?”
Liu Zhanpeng’s natural bully temperament has not changed at all, After Bicao gave him a lesson, he immediately said frankly, “After knowing my name was Liu Zhanpeng, a nobleman asked me if I had a sister named Liu Miantang, and then he arranged me to escape from the labor camp to the State of Zhen. He said that yesterday was my sister’s wedding. They asked me to recognize her, and she will have to recognize me for the face of the royal residence thus, would not let me make a big noise. Then I could live in the residence comfortably…”
Bicao stepped on his hand bone and said, “Who is that nobleman?”
Liu Zhanpeng cried out in pain again, “Ouch, I… I don’t know, I really don’t know. That nobleman was very generous, but I was not allowed to take a bath…”
Miantang had heard almost everything she wanted to hear, so she turned around and left first.
From beginning to end, she didn’t show up to speak to her half-brother.
However, instead of rushing out, she went to the government office on the other side, where Lu Zhong, Lu Yi, and Lu Liang were waiting for the official instructions.
After all, they said that Liu Zhanpeng had stolen their wallet and had to wait for a verdict to see if they were making a false charge against somebody.
Seeing Liu Miantang coming, the three people who drank tea in the wooden room of the government office got up in a hurry. Lu Yi first ached his hands and said, “Report to the county mayor, the shopkeepers in the original shop collected money to prepare a gift for you, and asked us to follow Lady He to the residence. But we made our own decision and caused such a mess. Please don’t be angry with us…”
Miantang lifted her cloak and sat down on the bench. She said to them, “I can’t wait to thank you. How will I blame you? Tell me what happened at that time.”
Lu Yi thought for a moment and said, “At that time, we thought we had met a swindler. We wanted to pull him to the roadside to get the information by beating him up, but the big men in Royal robes around him protected us from being close to each other… All of them were experts, and we couldn’t get close… I found the situation difficult at the moment and felt that they couldn’t be allowed to enter the city, so I accused him of stealing our wallets and led the officers and soldiers to come… County Mayor, did you just go to see him? Is he really your brother? ”
Liu Miantang nodded slowly. It didn’t matter. The loyal two or three brothers, together with Bicao that had just stepped on Liu Zhanpeng’s hand, all fell on their knees and waited for the county mayor to punish them with a pale face.
Liu Miantang waved her hand and said amiably, “My brother is an asshole. If it weren’t for you who are loyal to protect me today, I’m afraid that the villain’s plan would succeed. The prince will be responsible for shielding the fugitive. You all can get up. But this matter isn’t over yet, and you can’t make it public. In the future, I will still require you guys to help me with this matter.”
Lu Yi heard this and said quickly, “Don’t worry, county mayor. We will try our best to solve the problems for you.”
Miantang listened, nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered Bicao to go out and watch to see if there were eavesdropping eyes and ears around the plank house.
After Bicao went out to stay guard, she asked, “How many reliable brothers of the Mountain of Yang came to join you?”
Lu Yi calculated and said, “There are more than 40 people you taught. They are all good at acquiring information, setting traps, pickpocketing, etc… They are all experienced. What do you want to do? Just tell me!”
Although Miantang knew that she had done this kind of unhealthy business before, she was still not used to hearing this kind of rough slang.
She was silent for a moment and said, “My grandfather’s house is an escort agency. I picked up my grandfather’s old business in the State of Xi, but there is no outlet in the State of Zhen. I have ordered the shopkeeper of Lingquan Town to open the shop, buy horses, vehicles, and boats, and prepare to open an outlet here. Then my elder uncle will send a few acquaintances to guide you so that you can do the right thing…”
Lu Yi nodded knowingly and said, “I understand, please be at ease. I will recruit people and build up strength for you. If Prince Huaiyang finds out your identity, and is shameless, unkind, and ignores you, then we will lift the flag and go to the mountain with you…”
Miantang had a headache. She could not help patting the table and said, “Who dares to mention being a thief in the future again, I will pull your tongue out!”
