Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight
Chapter 176 Accountability
He rode on the raccoon and took me back to the entrance of the artificial pond on the back mountain.
From a distance, I saw the shadow guards moving back and forth on the ground, no longer lying on the ground in their hapless state.
They heard some noise in the air, looked up at us, and whispered to each other.
One of them who was not wearing black waved his hands at us from a distance. When Lili flew closer, I could see the man's face clearly.
It’s Ruiyang.
When we landed, he ran up to us with a happy face and said, "Master, you are finally back! We were scared to death!"
I was still frightened, so I took a step back and looked him up and down.
He asked in confusion: "Girl, what's wrong? Could it be that you have lost your memory again and don't remember me?"
This is the real Ruiyang, with warmth in his eyes and a smile on his face, not the fake guy who chased me with a cold face before.
I laughed out loud and replied: "Your face is wrinkled from laughing so hard. Even if I lose my memory again, I will still remember it!"
Ruiyang smiled again, approached Tu Shanjing and bowed, saying: "Sir, you said you were on standby and didn't come back or send a message. We were waiting anxiously. It was this elder brother-" After saying that, he pulled a man in black next to him and continued: "He sent a message first, so we hurried over. Ruofeng came and saw that the entrance to this cave was strange. Only the fox clan could enter. After entering and seeing the mechanism at the bronze door, he did not dare to act rashly and just stayed here to guard. He did not alarm the lady. It was dawn now, so he went back to the mansion to make arrangements so that he could have an excuse if the lady asked."
Tu Shanjing nodded, and the man in black bowed deeply: "I failed in my duty and was ambushed. I had to trouble the young master to rescue me. But thanks to the young master for protecting the brothers' hearts, I secretly used my power to break the ice shell, otherwise we would all be killed. In the future, we will be more cautious and serve the young master at all times, even if it means our death!"
You Ye came over from behind, knelt on one knee, and said with a folded hand: "I was careless in the arrangement of the birthday party last night, and the guards were not good enough. Please punish me, young master!"
Tu Shanjing waved his hand and said, "Forget it, get up. The opponent's moves were surprising, and it is understandable that you were careless for a moment. There are no consequences now, so there is no need to punish you. You, do you have any elixirs? I am injured."
You Qing stood up in a hurry, took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom and presented it to Tu Shan Jing, and asked: "Young Master, do you need me to pass on spiritual power to you?"
Tu Shanjing shook his head: "No need, it's just a minor injury, you just need to recover. As for this place, send someone to find the same stone to restore the entrance to its original state. No one who has entered the cave is allowed to talk about what's inside, and no news of what happened last night can be leaked."
You Yi bowed and said, "Young Master, please rest assured. I will give the order right away."
Tu Shanjing took his pills and his complexion improved a little. He turned to me and said, "Let them take care of this place. We will go back home first."
I knew that he had seen that no one needed his rescue, so he hurried back to the mansion to check Tu Shanhou. I nodded and said, "Okay, young master, we will go back now. Ruiyang, Brother You will also have to go back to the mansion to protect the young master. I will leave this to you. If there is..." I paused and continued, "If someone pretends to be you, remember to discuss a way to distinguish them with everyone in advance."
Ruiyang said, "Huh?" and replied, "Girl, I understand. But, is there someone pretending to be me?"
I said, "Yes, so you should make arrangements in advance, so that you don't end up being accused of lying later."
Ruiyang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the drama of the real and fake Monkey King would happen to me today! Don't worry, young lady, I will go and talk to them myself."
Only then did I feel at ease and followed Tushan Jing on his horse, riding on Lili, and flew back to Tushan Mansion.
Lili landed in Tu Shanjing's yard, and I called Manying to take Lili away to feed her.
Tu Shanjing instructed Ruofeng to ask Chengman and Jingui to go to the study for questioning.
Tu Shanjing and I walked to the study room, one after the other, and saw eight shadow guards guarding the study room. I took out my key and opened the door, and saw that the inside was still the same as when I locked the door last night, without any change.
Xinwang and Jingui followed Ruofeng in, looking anxious.
Jingye walked at the end. After they all entered the house, she turned around and closed the door. She walked to Tu Shanjing with her hands hanging down, and stood on both sides of Tu Shanjing with me, forming the left and right protectors.
"A thief broke into my study last night, so I want to ask you some questions today. Don't be nervous, try your best to think about what was unusual yesterday." Tu Shanjing took the hot tea I poured and spoke.
"In reply to the young master, I came to clean the house early yesterday morning. There was nothing unusual in the room and everything was in its original place. I left after I finished cleaning. Brother Ruofeng was on duty during the day." Jin Gui spoke first.
Ruofeng continued: "Young Master, there was nothing to do in the morning. I learned at noon that the Young Master would be back, so I asked Xinwang to guard the door for me. I first went to Young Master Chunming to get the documents that needed to be dealt with tomorrow, and then put them in the study, on the shelf over there. There are three copies in total, and I see they are still there in good condition." Ruofeng raised his hand and pointed.
We followed the direction of his finger and saw three pieces of letter paper rolled up in brown paper, tied with ropes and neatly stacked on the shelf behind Tu Shanjing's desk.
Jingye turned around to take it down, showed it to Tu Shanjing, and said, "Young Master, the sealing wax is still there and has never been opened. It is indeed from Young Master Chunming."
Tu Shanjing took it, took a look at it, nodded and put the letter beside him.
Ruo Feng continued, "After I finished my release, Rui Yang came to me and said that the young master would have a birthday banquet outside in the evening and asked me to serve him. I told Xin Wang that he would take my place until tomorrow morning, and then I went to the restaurant, leaving Rui Yang to have a good rest in the mansion. I came back with the young master in the evening and waited outside the young master's room. When Miss Lan Xiang entered the young master's room to serve him, I served him some hot water and then left."
Tu Shanjing nodded and said, "I understand. I will read Chunming's document later."
So everyone's eyes in the room were focused on Xinwang.
Xinwang was still in a panic, and spoke in a low voice: "In reply to the young master, I... just as Ruofeng said, I have been on duty here, and I didn't see anything unusual. Oh, by the way, only at night, I went to the toilet, and when I came back, I met Miss Lanxiang who said that there was a thief in the study. I..." After that, he knelt down with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "I was careless for a moment, and let the thief take advantage of the opportunity, but there was indeed no one to replace me, and I couldn't hold it anymore, so I went. But this is not an excuse, dereliction of duty is dereliction of duty, please punish me, young master!"
Tu Shanjing drank a sip of tea, pondered for a moment, and said: "You have worked hard. There are not enough people in the mansion. If something like this happens again next time, you can find someone else to replace you in advance or temporarily. That person will not blame you. But you failed to find the thief outside the courtyard, so why did you go directly to my room to find Lanxiang?"
