Chapter 125 Military Cell
When he saw Lin Yuqing again, he came with an elder in official uniform. Lord Du was protected by Lin's guard, who must be the current husband of Mrs. Heyu, the father of Yunxuan and Xueer, and twice sent troops to chase him.
Seeing Lord Du coming to the prison, Man Xiu, who had been sitting in prison in a daze, stood up.
Lord Du looked at Man Xiu in the prison from head to toe, but made Man Xiu feel very uncomfortable.
"Are you the head of the cell?" Lord Du turned his head sideways and said to a man guarding the prison next to him.
"Your Excellency, the young surname is Zhang, known as Zhang's head, who is the prisoner here." A man who looked nearly 50 years old replied respectfully.
"Okay, you can stay at the door of this cell in a moment. Remember, no one is allowed to come in!"
"Yes, adults, don't worry! With my head here, let alone a human being, even a fly will not fly in. This is a little exaggerated, but with this guarantee, Lord Du is at ease. With that, Zhang Touer went out with several other younger soldiers.
"You should also retreat first!" This time, Lord Du said to the only Lin Yuqing beside him.
"Your Excellency, but..." Lin Yuqing seems to be a little worried. But he doesn't know whether he is worried about Lord Du or Qin Manxiu's safety.
"Get out! I'll be fine." Lord Du still insisted on seeing it. Lin Yuqing had no choice but to retreat first.
"Do you know who I am?" Finally, this time it was said to Man Xiu in the cell.
"The villain's eyes are clumsy, please make it clear."
Lord Du looked at Man Xiu in the cell, but saw that he was just standing there with his eyes down and did not want to communicate too much with himself.
"Okay, let me tell you, I'm Du Shangde, the servant of the Ministry of War!" Seeing that Man Xiu still had no reaction, Lord Du knew that the peach blossom in front of him had already guessed who he was, but he just pretended not to know. Since you pretended, Lord Du also came up with some childlike innocence, but he didn't mention the fact that Narcissus sent a letter of help to Mrs. Heyu, and actually began to circle with Man Xiu.
"Do you know why I sent someone to bring you here?" Lord Du said slowly.
"Is there any difference between the villain who knows and doesn't know?" Man Xiu's answer was a little unexpected by Lord Du. No wonder he was kind to Mrs. Yu, and Yunxuan and Xue'er also talked to him. It was really a little personal!
"You raise your head and let me see."
Although Man Xiu was very reluctant, he still raised his head. And when Lord Du looked at Man Xiu again, Manxiu was also looking at Lord Du in front of him.
"It's really like a peach blossom!" Lord Du's words sounded a little plausive in Man Xiu's ears. I don't know whether it was a positive or a derogatory meaning.
"What's your name?"
"What's the name of the person you want to catch? What's my name?"
"What a sharp mouth! I asked you your real name!"
"Qin Manxiu. It's called peach blossoms in the Hundred Flowers Museum.
"I ask you, do you know Mrs. Yu?"
"Is the adult on trial now? Then why didn't you go up to the hall?"
"You just need to answer my question truthfully."
"There are a lot of guests in the Hundred Flowers Museum every day. I don't know what kind of lady it is. I just know that there are many wives going in and out there."
"Okay, then I'll use it as a portrait. Can you recognize it?"
It seems that Lord Du will investigate his relationship with Mrs. Yu, and he can't admit it! Maybe it will be involved with Mrs. Yu.
"The Hundred Flowers Museum is full of passers-by. The people who give money are all masters, but as soon as people leave, the tea will be cold. Isn't it ridiculous to ask a male prostitute to remember a lady?
"Do you think I'm ridiculous?"
"Forgive me, the villain has no intention! Just say, I don't remember!"
"But Mrs. Heyu remembers you!"
"The villain is a little bit of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and I'm afraid he will deceive the eyes of many women. However, it's nothing more than a scene. Who will really fall in love with a male prostitute?
Lord Du smiled in his heart. This man Xiu really knows how to protect Mrs. Heyu. So far, he has not mentioned his feelings with Mrs. Heyu, but has kept belittling his identity to get rid of any possible relationship with Mrs. Heyu.
"Don't go around with me. I don't have empirical evidence. How can I send someone to arrest you?"
"Forgive the ignorance of the villain, I don't know what the evidence the adults mean?"
"Your personal affair with Mrs. Yu!"
"Your excellency has been mentioning Mrs. Heyu, but he doesn't know who this Mrs. Heyu is?"
"She is the wife of this official!"
"Oh, it turned out to be Mrs. Du!"
"Do you remember?"
"No, you are Lord Du, and your wife should naturally be called Mrs. Du. Is there anything wrong?"
The skill of repairing garlic is really home. I've all arrived at this and pretending not to know.
"Okay, since you are good at calligraphy and painting, let's take a look at this painting!"
Lord Du took out a scroll of painting from his sleeve and slowly unfolded it. After reading it, Manxiu couldn't help but be shocked. This was originally the portrait he drew for Mrs. Heyu when he was in the Hundred Flowers Museum. How could it come into the hands of Lord Du? Ah, by the way, they got married. Why didn't Mrs. Yu burn the painting or tear it up and throw it away?
"Who did this painting come from? I'm afraid I don't need to say that you know it, don't you? The word 'Peach Blossom' is clearly written on the signature. Do you still want to admit that you know Mrs. Heyu?
"There are countless paintings in my life. I really don't remember drawing this painting, and I don't remember the people in this painting. Please be kind to me!"
"You said you don't remember the person in this picture?"
"Yes!" Man Xiu made up his mind and could not admit that he knew Mrs. Yu well.
"Haha! If I'm not completely sure, how can I send someone to arrest you! It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I'll go to the Hundred Flowers Museum, bring the owner of the museum, bring your friend Narcissus, and bring other people who have been under the same roof with you for five years. Do you think they will all help you talk?"
Ah! Lord Du even knows that his friend is Narcissus! It's not like talking to Mrs. Yu again! Why do you even say this? Don't you know how to protect yourself? It's hard to say. Maybe Lord Du sent someone to investigate in private... Anyway, he is doomed this time.
"Hmm! There is nothing to say! Do you want to continue to deny it?" Lord Du's tone was a little aggressive.
"What do adults want?"
"What do you want?"
"The villain wants to ask, what kind of ending does the adult want?"
"Oh? What's the end?"
"In fact, it's simple. First, it's hard to say that the villain and his wife have an affair and kill both of us. Second, thinking about the relationship between husband and wife, I hid it from my wife and only killed one villain. Or adults are generous and only warn villains to stay away from their wives forever and not to return to Tokyo City. Third, believe what the villain said and no longer pursue this matter.
"Ha ha, you are quite thoughtful! Then tell me what to make me believe in you? How to believe it?"
"Please believe that the villain is indeed selfless with his wife! Heaven and earth can be seen!"
"I saw her enter the Hundred Flowers Hall with my own eyes and went to find you. Is this still selfless?"
"It's love, of course, for personal gain. There is no love in the world to share with others. However, there are many kinds of love, such as love between men and women, friendship between confidants, and family affection between relatives... The villain and his wife are purely coincidental and can talk about something. If it comes to affection, it is just a trivial friendship. The premise is that if your wife is willing to put down her identity and recognize this lowly friend.
"Do you say friendship is friendship? Didn't you die and refuse to admit that you knew your wife just now?
"Have you ever been to the Hundred Flowers Museum? As far as the villain knows, officials of the imperial court should not be allowed to openly enter and exit such an occasion..."
Ah! On the contrary, he was a general! Lord Du couldn't help saying, "How could I go into that kind of place? I just saw it at the door!"
"As the saying goes, catch the thief with the stolen goods and catch the traitor in the bed! What you see with your own eyes may be fake, not to mention that adults still haven't seen it. In this case, how can adults know that what the villain said is not true? How do you know that this is not friendship? Please be clear and don't listen to the rumors. I gave your wife's life in vain, missed your and your wife's happy life, and ruined your harmonious family!"
This statement is similar to what Yunxuan said when she persuaded Lord Du. However, Man Xiu not only explained the facts, but also hit the key point of Lord Du. It should be said that no one wants their family to be destroyed, especially to let a happy family be destroyed in their own hands!
"In your opinion, what should I do?"
"The adult is a judge and the villain is a prisoner. Why does the adult ask the villain's meaning instead?"
"What if I give you a chance?"
"If the adult even cares that the villain knows his wife, the villain is certainly willing to choose to leave alive and never set foot on the land of Tokyo City. I don't know what the adults want."
Before Lord Du could speak, he heard a noise outside.
"Madam, miss, you two can't enter here. My lord has told me that no one is allowed to enter casually.
"Get out of here! Am I anyone? Did I go in casually?" It's Cher's voice! Naturally, the lady called by the guard should be Mrs. Yu. How did they come here? Is it...Lin Yuqing?
"Madam, miss, don't be embarrassed. The little one just obeys the order. There is a bad pool, and the one who loses his head is small!"
"If you don't let go, Miss Ben will let you lose your head now!"
"Absurd! Ridiculous! What kind of style is this!" Lord Du sighed angrily.
And before Lord Du had time to go out to stop him, Mrs. Yu and Xue'er had broken in. Lord Du was very regretful. Last time, because of the peach blossom incident, his baby daughter Xue'er had not talked to him for months. She had been accompanied by good words every day, and she was very sick, and then she changed back to her daughter's love for her father like before. Now he originally wanted to save Peach Blossom, and the "trial" in this cell was just a "hourly whim". In fact, he had never thought of killing Mrs. Heyu or Taohua. From the moment when Peach Blossom maintained and Mrs. Yu, he not only no longer remembered the person in the prison, but also was a little grateful to him. However, how to explain this scene to my wife and daughter?
