The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 622: Collusion
Chapter 622: Collusion
Fan Yuhuai fanned away the smell of alcohol in his face, stared at Zhong Shaozhong, frowned, and took a step back.
Seeing that everyone else was also drunk, Fan Yuhuai thought to himself that the prince asked him to arrest the treason criminal, but the man was just drinking and having fun here and had done nothing, so how could he arrest him?
In a dilemma, Fan Yuhuai called Hualou Mama and asked, “When did Master Zhong come?”
Hualou’s mother glanced at Zhong Shaozhong and answered truthfully.
“You haven’t been here long, how come you all are so drunk?” Fan Yuhuai looked at one of the trembling girls and pointed at her, “You… tell me, how much did these adults drink!”
“Oh! Lord Fan!” Zhong Shaozhong smiled and pushed Fan Yuhuai’s hand down. He blocked Fan Yuhuai with his body and said drunkenly, “Why do you have to embarrass a beautiful girl? If you have anything to say… Lord Fan, just tell me!”
“You are the uncle of the emperor, I dare not embarrass you! But I have received a report that someone is plotting treason here! Since the uncle of the emperor is so generous to let me talk to you, why don’t you… uncle of the emperor and all the adults follow me to see the crown prince and old imperial tutor Tan and make things clear!”
After saying this, Fan Yuhuai said in a tough manner: “Please ask the uncle and all the gentlemen to go back to the Dali Temple to sober up. By the way… take the maids and girls from this brothel back and ask them clearly… what kind of wine was given to the uncle and all the gentlemen to drink that could make them drunk in such a short time!”
“Okay, okay! Lord Fan asked us to go see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so of course we have to go, but… Lord Fan, can you please not let everyone know? I’ve been promoted, and I’m happy… That’s why I asked my former subordinates to come and have some fun, but some of them have strict family rules, and if they knew we were in this brothel, I’m afraid it would be hard to explain to them! Lord Fan… Please bear with me! Don’t make such a big fuss! Can’t we just go by ourselves?”
Zhong Shaozhong smiled and tugged at his clothes after he finished speaking: “Look… we are still wearing our undergarments. Lord Fan won’t let us go out like this and lose face!”
“Okay! I’ll be waiting for you, my Lord, and all the other gentlemen downstairs! Please don’t make it difficult for me!” Fan Yuhuai smiled and turned to his subordinates, “Take all these girls and this mother away! Bring a few more carriages for you, my Lord, and all the other gentlemen to ride in!”
“yes!”
Everyone in the patrol camp responded and took action. Amid the screams and cries of the girls in the brothel, the mother in the brothel came to Fan Yuhuai in panic.
“Master Fan! Master Fan… please be merciful. These girls are so delicate. How can they go to a place like the Dali Temple?” Hualou Mama hurriedly took out a banknote from her sleeve and stuffed it into Fan Yuhuai’s hand behind his back. “This is my invitation to tea for all the masters! Please be merciful. My daughters can’t bear the hardship!”
Fan Yuhuai took the banknote from Hualou Mama and handed it to the subordinate standing behind him: “This is evidence of bribing me! Take it!”
“yes!”
Hualou Mama was so frightened that her face turned pale. She wanted to step forward to beg for mercy, but was pushed aside by the soldiers behind Fan Yuhuai who squeezed in to capture the girls.
The generals of the imperial guards were also fed up with it, and they slammed the table and stood up, protecting the girls in the brothel behind them.
Someone kicked over the table in front of him, causing porcelain plates and fruits to fall to the ground. He shouted, “Fan Yuhuai! What do you mean by this? We came to the brothel to have a good time. What law of the Jin Dynasty did we break that made you arrest us with such a big fuss? You are so powerful! Do you think we imperial guards are just soft persimmons that you can bully us?!”
Fan Yuhuai looked at the general of the imperial guards, his eyes gloomy, and said: “Fan, I am here on the orders of the Crown Prince and the old Imperial Tutor Tan to invite you generals back to the Dali Temple to assist in the investigation. If I have offended you… I will apologize to you later, but for now… Don’t even mention kicking the table, even if it means demolishing the house, I will invite you all to the Dali Temple!”
After saying that, Fan Yuhuai turned around and said loudly: “The Crown Prince and Imperial Master Tan have given orders! Anyone who resists… will be executed immediately without mercy! Catch!”
After Fan Yuhuai finished speaking in a majestic manner, he walked downstairs to the brothel.
The brothel mother was sitting on the ground crying. She watched the girl, who kept calling “Mom”, being dragged out by the arms of the rough-handed patrol soldiers. She wanted to stop them, but she was also grabbed by the back of the collar and dragged out.
“Ouch! Ouch, sir, please have mercy! My old body can’t stand it!” The mother was so scared that her face turned pale and she begged for mercy in a hurry.
Seeing that Fan Yuhuai was unmoved by anything he did, Zhong Shaozhong gritted his teeth and turned to his old subordinates and said, “Forget it! Let’s go to the Dali Temple. If you have done nothing wrong, you don’t have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door! Whoever has done something wrong would specifically spy on others. Let’s go… Old Imperial Master Tan is not an unreasonable person. Let’s talk it out!”
Zhong Shaozhong’s words could be regarded as an allusion to the crown prince.
He bowed to the generals of the Imperial Guards and said, “Everyone, it’s all my fault that I invited you to this brothel today. You are all implicated by me. I can only shamelessly ask you not to clash with the soldiers of the patrol camp and follow me!”
After Zhong Shaozhong said this, although the others were dissatisfied, they all nodded in agreement and said they were willing to go with Zhong Shaozhong.
Soon all the girls in the room were taken away. The deputy commander of the patrol camp who led the arrests said with a smile: “My Lord, please put on your clothes quickly. I will be waiting outside the door. If you need any instructions, please!”
After saying this, the deputy commander of the patrol battalion closed the door.
“Fan Yuhuai has always been loyal to His Majesty. When did he become the prince’s running dog?” someone spat.
Bi Heng, who was hiding under the bed under Zhong Shaozhong’s order, also crawled out from under the bed: “Master Zhong, what should we do now?”
“It’s good that Fan Yuhuai obeys His Majesty’s orders, but now that His Majesty is in a coma, he naturally has to listen to the Crown Prince. Now… he is half a crown prince!” Zhong Shaozhong said.
Some people were worried and approached Zhong Shaozhong and lowered their voices to speak: “Sir, the prince is anxious to arrest you and me. I’m afraid he already knows our intention to protect him and wants to take the initiative! Sir…”
Zhong Shaozhong gritted his teeth. How could he not know?
“I’m afraid that if we are taken to the Dali Temple, the prince will not release us until he kills Your Majesty and ascends the throne!” someone else said.
“It seems that what Lord Zhong said about the Crown Prince is that he has rebellious intentions… It is indeed true! Otherwise, why would he be monitoring us! And why would he be so anxious to take us to the Dali Temple Prison!”
“Old Imperial Master Tan has always been a steady and prudent person. How come he is now getting together with the Crown Prince and becoming involved in this evil?”
