Great Lawyer

Chapter 717 Young Bai Jun ([-])

The young man hung his head and hurried forward. Nao'er tilted his head and looked at him. Feeling strange, he pulled Huazi and whispered, "Let's follow him."

"What's wrong?" Hanako asked.

Nao'er chased after him in two or three steps, but the boy in front didn't know if he had noticed, walked hurriedly, entered an alley very quickly, and entered a door in a blink of an eye.

"This isn't..." Nao'er looked up, Hua Zi asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

Nao'er let out a groan, and replied, "It looks familiar to me."

"I also remembered," Huazi pulled Nao'er out, turned her head cautiously, and said in a low voice, "When we were singing in Prince Ning's Mansion last night, there was a servant standing in a bush far away watching us. Do you remember?"

"Yes!" Nao'er said, "He didn't dare to come over, so he stood among the flowers to show his face, stood there for a while and then left."

But Nao'er felt that besides seeing this young man last night, he had seen him somewhere else, but he couldn't remember exactly where.

"What's this place?" Hanako asked.

Nao'er was about to speak, when she suddenly saw three people approaching, she said: "My lord, Ninth Sister."

"Why did you come here?" Du Jiuyan, King Gui, and Eunuch Xi took two detours, but Huazi and Naoer were also here.

Nao'er told the boy he saw just now.

"What does it look like?" Du Jiuyan raised his eyebrows slightly, Nao'er described it, and Du Jiuyan turned to ask Eunuch Xi.

Eunuch Xi shook his head, "There are only four servants in Prince Ning's mansion, and the rest are servants. None of these four servants is decent. Are you sure you saw it last night?"

There are now three beautiful teenagers in Prince Ning's Mansion, all of whom were bought by King Ning to play after he came to the capital.

"Isn't it?" Nao'er and Hanako looked at each other, "Could we be wrong? There should be nothing wrong."

Xi Gonggong said: "Why don't we go in and have a look together?"

"Okay." Nao'er nodded, and wanted to follow Du Jiuyan in. Du Jiuyan looked at Huazi, "Go back, children are not allowed to go to this place."

Huazi glanced inside, said oh, and said, "Then, I'll go back first, you guys come back early."

He went back to the palace alone along the road.

Du Jiuyan, King Gui and Huazi entered the Hechun Pavilion, where many beautiful boys and girls were raised.

There are many flowing red gauze curtains hanging in the yard, and the grapes are on the shelf. Although the leaves have withered, I can imagine how romantic the yard is in summer.

"Oh, there are guests this morning, some guest officials..." The old bustard came out to greet her, and she was taken aback before she finished speaking, "Prince Gui, Mr. Du, Boss Du, ouch, what is this wind?" I brought you three here."

The old bustard is about thirty years old, with a pretty face, and she is obviously a seasoned veteran with a three-pointed smile. She turned to her back and wanted to call the girls out. Du Jiuyan waved her hand and said, "We have something to do with my mother, please don't say anything."

"Mr. Du, who sued us? Who sued us, and you took the lawsuit?" The bustard suddenly became nervous when she remembered Du Jiuyan's identity.

"No," Du Jiuyan said, "find a room, let's sit down and talk."

The madam should be, invite them to the banquet room.

When Du Jiuyan explained the ins and outs, the old bustard's face paled and trembled when he heard it, and he knelt down with a plop, and said, "This is really a crime, a crime."

"It's not wrong that Bai Jun went out from the slave's house, but... but the slave's family doesn't know anything. He was also bought by the slave's family with money. The slave's family really doesn't know anything."

"I beg Lord Gui, please forgive Mr. Du!"

Even if she had ten heads, it would not be enough to kill King Ning.

"When did Bai Jun come to your place?" Du Jiuyan asked.

"He came here on the fourth day of the eighth month. He sold himself. He said he wanted money after his mother died, and he sold himself to the slave's family at ten taels." The old bustard said, "His contract of sale is still here with the slave's house."

As she spoke, she got up and ran out, and came back with the box in her arms. She took out Bai Jun's deed of prostitution and showed it to Du Jiuyan, "Look, I really didn't lie a single word."

Du Jiuyan looked at it and handed it to King Gui, and said, "He told me where he was from, and why did mother die?"

"He said that he was from Huairou, his mother died of illness, he was the only one in the family, and he had never studied, so he had a good skin. Now that he lacks money, he can only think of selling himself." The old bustard said, "That child doesn't talk much, he is very well-behaved, and the slave family didn't ask too much. If he had known... the slave family would not dare to buy him, nor would they dare to sell him to Prince Ning."

The old bustard started howling as he spoke.

Several people outside the door looked at it with their heads poking around. They were all girls from this yard.

"Which room does he live in, show us." Du Jiuyan said, "Call everyone in your yard to come to the yard."

The madam should be, leading them to a small room on the side at the back.

She herself went to call someone.

Nao'er stood in the yard and watched the old bustard find someone.

Du Jiuyan and King Gui were in the room where Bai Jun lived. The old bustard re-entered and explained, "Bai Jun has lived here for ten days. When he came, he had nothing. I cut two clothes for him. When he followed Lord Ning, he took the new clothes away, but I let him keep the old clothes in the room."

"There are no newcomers in the past few days, and the room has not had time to clean up."

The bustard took out the clothes Bai Jun was wearing.

It was a set of two gray and half-worn pieces. It was a double-breasted jacket with a large pocket on the top, and a pair of trousers underneath. The shoes were black cloth shoes with mud on the upper.

Du Jiuyan squatted down and looked at the mud on the shoes.

"Did he say he is from Huairou?" Du Jiuyan asked, and the old bustard should be, "He really said that, and I heard the accent is from that side."

"Did he take your ten taels of silver and go home to bury his mother?"

"Yes, after he took the money, he went back for two days, and came back in the afternoon of the third day." The old bustard said, "But, I'm afraid he might run away, so I secretly sent someone to follow him."

Du Jiuyan looked at her in surprise.

Sensing Du Jiuyan's encouragement, the madam hurriedly said, "I'll call Heizi to tell you."

She went out and yelled, and then a man with big arms and round waist came in. The old bustard said, "Heizi, you told the prince and Mr. Du about going back with Bai Jun."

"Yes!" Heizi said, "He walked back from morning to afternoon without meeting anyone else. His village is called Baijia Village, not far from Xiajia Town."

"You haven't heard of it?" Heizi asked, "Xiajia Town is over there."

Du Jiuyan had been to Xia's house, but he didn't look around in Huairou.Heizi continued, "Yes, there are many tombs of high-ranking officials in the capital over there. The geomantic omen is good there, and there is running water next to the mountains, so it's easy to find."

"What did Bai Jun go home to do?"

"He bought a thin coffin, borrowed a donkey cart, and took his mother to the mountain to dig a pit and bury him without even erecting a monument."

Du Jiuyan asked: "You were following him, but were you discovered?"

"No, I followed from afar, and I was not at home the day he came, so I didn't meet him face to face. I recognize him, but he doesn't recognize me."

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Go again, you might find his mother's tomb?"

"Yes," Heizi said, "It's easy to find that place, and it's a new tomb, so you can find it when you go there."

Du Jiuyan and King Gui looked at each other.

"Whoever asks you about this matter, you just pretend that you don't know, and you have never followed him back." Du Jiuyan said, "Be careful when you go out recently."

Heizi froze for a moment, then nodded blankly, and went out to wait.

Du Jiuyan picked up Bai Jun's clothes and looked at them. The old bustard said, "Mr. Du, trust me, I really don't know anything."

"I swear, if there is even half a lie, I will be struck by lightning."

Du Jiuyan smiled with her, and paused slightly with the hands holding the clothes, she folded the clothes, and said to the old bustard: "The one who cleans himself cleans himself, and innocent people will not be implicated."

"You don't want to wander around recently, don't leave the capital."

The old bustard insisted, "Then, do you want to go outside to see my people?"

"Let's go!" Du Jiuyan packed the clothes and shoes in a bundle and carried them here, and the group went out.

Nao'er stood at the door, shook his head at her, then looked at the bustard and asked, "Is all of you here? Are you here, including the servants and the mother-in-law?"

"They're all here," said the old bustard, "there are seventeen people in total including the Nu family."

She counted, including her and Heizi, there were seventeen people in total, "No more, no less."

"But, I clearly saw a young man come in just now. He is about sixteen or seventeen years old. He is about the same size as me. He looks handsome and wears a green wood hairpin."

The madam looked surprised, "No," she asked the people in the yard, and everyone shook their heads.

Du Jiuyan looked at everyone, and personally went through all the places where people could hide with King Gui, but there was no one.

When the four came out again, Nao'er felt very strange, "...Could they run away through the back door?"

"It's possible that he can enter and leave the palace without being seen by Eunuch Xi and the others. It can be seen that he has martial arts and is flexible in his hands and feet." Du Jiuyan said, "Go back and let Gu Qingshan check it out. Let's go back to Prince Ning's mansion first."

Nao'er went back to Prince Gui's mansion.

When Du Jiuyan arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, Ah Shi was still standing beside the corpse. Seeing Du Jiuyan coming in, he shook his head at Du Jiuyan, "Mr. Du, I don't know this person."

"If he is really a senior brother, he might have come later, and I can't recognize him."

Du Jiuyan nodded, and said to Ah Shi: "You don't want to go out in the near future, we will take you back later."

"Mr. Du, has our master started to do something?" Ah Shi asked.

Du Jiuyan nodded, "Probably."

After she finished speaking, King Jiujiang and Xue Yin came over from the main courtyard.

Ah Shi lowered his head and retreated to the side.

　Good morning, I took Ms. Li to the ophthalmology department today, but I don't know why, the difference in vision between the left and right eyes is so big, it's really a headache.
