Chapter 199: Look no further!
In an inn in the capital city
Today, Zheng Luoqi wore an elegant light blue robe, a snow-white jade crown on her head, and gently waved a folding fan in her hand, making her look graceful and elegant.
Bo Yu and He Jinyu, who were standing next to Zheng Luoqi, were also dressed elegantly today, looking like handsome young men.
Zheng Luoqi and He Jinyu were leisurely playing chess.
Boyu, meanwhile, vigilantly scanned his surroundings, remaining alert at all times.
At this moment, Zheng Luoqi asked softly, "How are those two from the Pei family doing lately? Has anything unusual happened?"
He Jinyu quickly replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, Young Master Pei and Miss Pei are currently in good condition, but Young Master Yu..." He Jinyu hesitated, a troubled expression on his face.
"Just say what you have to say, no need to beat around the bush." Zheng Luoqi looked at He Jinyu's appearance and had already guessed what was going on. Yu Yifei had probably done a lot of things in his name.
He Jinyu took a deep breath and said truthfully, "Young Master Yu has been using your name to get along very well in the Imperial Academy lately, and he has now become almost the number one person in the Imperial Academy!" His words were tinged with helplessness and mockery.
"Huh?" Zheng Luoqi was puzzled upon hearing this. Just how much had Yu Yifei done under his name? This title wasn't meant for him to use like this!
"Never mind, as long as he doesn't use my name to do anything immoral," Zheng Luoqi waved his hand dismissively.
Bo Yu had been vigilantly observing his surroundings when suddenly he saw several suspicious-looking people appear downstairs. He immediately reported to Zheng Luoqi, "Sir, something's up!"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Luoqi quickly put down the chess piece in her hand and looked in the direction Boyu indicated. She saw several people who first looked around and then pretended to ask the waiter questions.
They exchanged a few words with the waiter, and the waiter's eyes immediately became wary.
The waiter told the group to wait a moment and immediately went to inform the shopkeeper. Upon hearing the waiter's words, the shopkeeper hurried over to greet the group.
After exchanging a few words with the group, the shopkeeper looked around to make sure no one was following them, and then left with them.
The inn that Zheng Luoqi visited today is owned by Liu Hongwei's wife.
These past few days, Zheng Luoqi has been investigating Liu Hongwei's affairs. He discovered that Liu Hongwei doesn't like to go out. Many people who want to see him need to pass on messages to him through the shopkeepers, and he will only go out after receiving the message.
Moreover, Zheng Luoqi received news yesterday that there had been a situation on the border a few days ago.
Therefore, Zheng Luoqi guessed that Liu Hongwei would definitely make some moves after receiving the news from the border. So, Zheng Luoqi had people keep an eye on the places where Liu Hongwei might appear these days, and now, sure enough, they caught a few people behaving strangely.
After Zheng Luoqi saw that the group had gone quite a distance, she gestured for Boyu and He Jinyu to follow them.
The shopkeeper led the group to a room, opened the door, and invited them inside. After they entered, the shopkeeper looked around for a while to make sure no one was there before closing the door and leaving.
"Sir, should we go and catch them now?" He Jinyu asked in a low voice.
"What are we arresting? What if those people aren't spies from Beirong? Let's not act rashly. Let's go over and listen to what they're saying," Zheng Luoqi said.
After saying that, Zheng Luoqi led He Jinyu and Boyu stealthily towards the room, afraid of making a sound that would alert the people inside.
Zheng Luoqi and the others had been standing outside the door for a while, but they hadn't heard any noise from inside.
Zheng Luoqi had a bad feeling, thinking: Oh no! The person might have escaped!
Without hesitation, Zheng Luoqi kicked open the door and rushed in, only to find that the people who had entered the room had vanished without a trace, leaving only a woman behind.
Zheng Luoqi found it very strange, because she hadn't seen this woman among the people who had entered the room earlier. Either one of them had disguised themselves, or this woman had always been there.
"Gentlemen, what are you looking for?" It was the woman who spoke.
Upon receiving a signal from Zheng Luoqi, Bo Yu immediately drew his sword and charged forward. However, the woman remained calm and easily dodged Bo Yu's attack.
Then, she quickly took off her clothes, which startled Boyu so much that he couldn't hold the sword steady. Boyu hurriedly closed his eyes.
He Jinyu, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes and kept muttering, "Don't look at what you shouldn't look at!"
Suddenly, the woman screamed, "Pervert! Help! There's a pervert!"
Even with his eyes closed, Boyu didn't forget Zheng Luoqi's instructions. Following the direction of the woman's voice, Boyu raised his sword and slashed. However, with his eyes closed, his movements were somewhat restricted.
Finally, Boyu had no choice but to open his eyes, say, "Excuse me!" and continue to slash with his sword.
When the woman realized that her trick was ineffective, she tried to run away, but Bo Yu caught her and brought her back.
At this moment, the helpers outside also arrived and saw the situation inside: three men and one woman. One of the men was still holding the woman's hand, and the woman's clothes had been taken off. The people immediately guessed what had just happened!
"Beasts! How dare they do such a despicable thing in broad daylight! Everyone, tie them up!" A woman leading the group called out to the crowd, and then began to subdue Zheng Luoqi and the others.
Zheng Luoqi and the others cannot reveal their identities now, otherwise they might alert the enemy. If Liu Hongwei finds out that someone is investigating him, then all their work these past few days will have been for nothing!
"Wait!" Zheng Luoqi quickly called out, feigning anger as she looked at the people in front of her and said loudly, "How can you be so sure that we were the ones who molested her?"
Then Zheng Luoqi pointed to the woman on the ground and said, "If she was forced by us, then her clothes would have been torn to some extent! Do you see any on her clothes?"
"She clearly tried to assault me, but when she failed to drug me, she tried to frame me! She's the one with malicious intent!" Zheng Luoqi's eyes were filled with anger, as if she had been greatly wronged.
"This woman tried to drug me but failed. My men arrived and discovered it, so she came up with this plan to make me marry her!"
Zheng Luoqi continued, "Look at my appearance, do I need to do anything improper to her? I'm handsome and charming, surrounded by countless beautiful women, why would I need to force myself on a woman?"
“Moreover, our clothes are normal, there’s nothing wrong with them, but only her clothes are off! Couldn’t she have done that herself?” Zheng Luoqi said, showing off her neat clothes, which contrasted sharply with the disheveled woman on the ground.
