Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Soon, the four of them followed the clues given by the big man and found Wang Pozi's house. They knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it. They were wondering if there was no one at home. Just as they were about to leave, they heard a sound from the side.

The others didn't pay any attention, but Chu Yao took a few steps and looked out of curiosity.

"Eh!? He, he...someone is trying to run away!"

It turned out that Chu Yao leaned over to look and saw a man coming out from the back door.

Because the south side is full of ordinary families, even civilians. So the houses here are basically two rooms with a small courtyard, so the front and back doors are actually very close, less than ten meters away, and you can even see the back door directly from the front door.

Chu Yao didn't know the man, and wanted to ask the other three people if he was the one they were looking for. But when the man saw Chu Yao, he turned around and ran away.

The prince consort received Chu Yao's signal and reacted quickly, ready to rush over immediately. But with Yun Wei still around, there was no need for them to do anything. He flew over and threw the man under him.

"Don't! Don't! Brother, I didn't do anything bad! Why are you arresting me?"

The man screamed after being pinned down.

"You didn't do anything wrong, why are you running?!"

Chu Yao walked up to the man with his hands on his hips. The man was pressed to the ground and could only look up at him.

"I see you seem to want to chase me, so you're running away subconsciously..."

Although the man looked like he was guilty, he was not the one they were looking for. Xiao Zuochen and his husband also looked at each other.

"You live here?"

"I don't live here! I don't live here..."

When he heard someone asking, the man immediately shook his head like a rattle, but the sound became smaller and smaller.

"You don't live here, why did you go out the back door of this house?"

"me..."

The man stammered and couldn't say why.

"Oh, I see. He must be here to steal. Report to the police! Come with me to the government office!"

Chu Yao was bluffing and trying to scare him.

"No, I didn't steal! This is my home, this is my home!"

The man had no choice but to admit it.

"You came out of your house sneaking around? And why didn't you open the door when we knocked just now?"

"No one has stipulated that you must open the door when someone knocks! If you keep holding me like this, I think I should be the one to report to the police!"

The man began to bite back.

"Since you said this is your home, I'm sure you know who it is, Mrs. Wang~"

The man was stunned, then shook his head and said.

"I don't know. I don't know."

"You really don't know? You are full of lies and nonsense. How about we really go to the government office to ask? Let the people in charge of the household check and find out what is the relationship between you and Mrs. Wang?"

"No, gentlemen, you want to find Mrs. Wang, why are you making things difficult for me?"

"Then tell the truth. It seems that you also know that the person we are looking for is indeed not you, but Wang Po has committed some crimes. If you tell the truth, these things have nothing to do with you. If you don't tell the truth, when we catch Wang Po, you will be an accomplice! You will also go to jail with us!"

"It's so serious! But..."

The man seemed to be frightened. He didn't expect that this matter would involve him. Seeing that he was somewhat relieved, Xiao Zuochen took the opportunity to speak.

"You are still young, and it is the right age to make money. You know what the sick old lady Wang has done. If you really go to jail for a few years, it will be hard to find a job when you come out. If you already have a wife, she might have run away with someone else during the years you have been in prison. If you have not come out, it will be even harder to find a job..."

"..."

"Besides, this old lady Wang made a mistake. It's fine if she wasn't caught by luck, but if she was caught, it would be her own retribution. She shouldn't implicate others. So you better tell the truth, otherwise, I can make you go to jail for her."

"Ah! No, I don't want to go to jail! I'll tell you everything!"

The man was almost crying. This matter had nothing to do with him, so why did he end up so unlucky?

"Hurry up and tell me~"

"The old woman you are talking about is my mother. I know why you are here. The day before yesterday, after my mother finished her work for the eldest princess, the eldest princess gave her some money and asked her to leave. My mother wanted to take my wife and me with her, so we hid in the temple outside the city."

"Since we're already blocked outside the city, why did you come back today?"

"Because what happened the day before yesterday was too sudden for me. My mother and wife helped me pack my things, and then they took me away directly to where I was working. But I still had some private money, so I ran back secretly."

Xiao Zuochen's eyes were looking for Yun Wei to search him. Because after just two touches, he pulled out a bag of tightly wrapped banknotes from him.

"It's a pretty large amount. It wasn't stolen, was it?"

Chu Yao teased.

"Ah, no! No! I found it on the road!"

The others were speechless after hearing this. It was true that the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. According to what the man said just now, I was trying to clear myself and let others think that he had never done anything bad. But with such a mother and having seen a way to make money quickly, how could this man not do bad things?

Xiao Zuochen ignored his subsequent explanation. What this man had done had nothing to do with them.

"Take us to your mother."

"You, you guys, are not going to do anything bad to my mother?"

"Don't you know what we are going to do to her? You have already betrayed your mother to us, why are you still pretending to be a filial son?"

Chu Yao put his hands on his hips and shook his legs, mocking him.

"I..."

So the four men escorted one person and walked towards the temple on the edge of the city. Finally, they saw two women in the temple. One was Wang Pozi, and the other was Wang Pozi's daughter-in-law.

When they first entered, they seemed to be arguing about Wang Po's son sneaking home. When they saw the man being pushed in, the daughter-in-law covered her mouth and was stunned, while Wang Po suddenly collapsed on the ground, as if she knew she was finished.

Under the pressure of the prince consort, Wang Po finally revealed the whereabouts of Li Jinxiu. She pointed to the inner room of the temple, indicating that Li Jinxiu was inside. The prince consort couldn't believe it and rushed in. As expected, he saw Li Jinxiu huddled in a corner, seemingly crying.

When Li Jinxiu saw the prince consort rushing in, she immediately covered her face.

"sorry."

Although the prince consort did not do anything wrong to her, he still felt very guilty. After all, it was because of the prince consort that the princess had feelings for Li Jinxiu.

The husband walked forward and pressed Li Jinxiu's head into his arms. Li Jinxiu cried even harder because of the husband's behavior. The husband kept stroking her back to comfort her.

I don't know what they asked outside. Finally, Yun Wei took Wang Pozi to report to the authorities. Her son and daughter-in-law were relieved to see that they were not implicated. Especially her daughter-in-law, she seemed a little excited, happily packing her bags to go home, and she kept mumbling something.

The prince consort helped Li Jinxiu out. When he saw Xiao Zuochen, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. Xiao Zuochen nodded at him, and the two of them communicated silently. Finally, the prince consort took Li Jinxiu back to his old house, and Xiao Zuochen and the others also returned to Prince Yun's Mansion first.

"Tell me, why did this old lady Wang want to keep Li Jinxiu with her?"

"Didn't she just explain that the princess asked her to get rid of Li Jinxiu? She didn't want to kill anyone, so she took Li Jinxiu back to her home."

"But what good would it do to bring it back home?"

"Maybe she wants to be his son's concubine. After all, if a woman loses her innocence, her life will not be easy."

"Is that so? I thought that Mrs. Wang was also soft-hearted, but I didn't expect that she had even more vicious ideas!"
