Chapter 545 Mu Wanqing makes a plan to force Shen Ruzhou to show up
An Yitang told Mu Wanqing about Shen Rumeng taking care of Shen Chumu and asked, "What should we do next? That woman is right. If Shen Chumu really wants to die here, it will be really difficult for me to explain to the Shen family."
After hearing this, Mu Wanqing looked gloomy and said for a long time: "The medicine in Shen Rumeng's hand must have been given by Shen Ruzhou. As long as we keep an eye on her, we will naturally find Shen Ruzhou."
At night, Shen Rumeng came to give Shen Chumu medicine as usual.
The medicine bottle had reached its bottom, and she planned to go to Shen Ruzhou to refill the medicine at night.
In the middle of the night, Shen Rumeng changed into the maid's clothes, sneaked out of the back door, and went to the guest house as Shen Ruzhou said last time. She pushed the door open and entered. Just as she was about to call someone, a group of guards suddenly came in behind her and took her to the hotel. The small courtyard was surrounded by water.
She turned around in horror and saw An Yitang and Mu Wanqing walking in one after the other.
"Are you following me?" Shen Rumeng shouted in surprise. She thought she had acted covertly enough, but she didn't want to be spotted long ago.
Mu Wanqing completely ignored her intention and ordered the guards to arrest the person, but after searching the yard, there was no one there.
An Yitang grabbed Shen Rumeng's collar and asked, "Where is Shen Ruzhou?"
"I don't know." Shen Rumeng held his wrist with both hands and spoke with difficulty.
"You still want to fool me? It seems that I am still too polite to you on weekdays." An Yitang said and threw Shen Rumeng to the ground, took the horse whip from the guard and was about to whip it.
Shen Rumeng subconsciously covered her head and face with her arms. With a "snap", the whip cut through the air and fell. The burning pain hit her immediately. Shen Rumeng couldn't help but scream.
Mu Wanqing was too lazy to pay attention to this. She walked into the room and picked up the tea cup on the table, feeling that it was still warm.
He must have escaped a step ahead when he heard the noise.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Mu Wanqing's lips, and she murmured to herself, "It will be easy as long as the person is still in Hongcheng."
When she came out, Shen Rumeng had been beaten until she passed out.
An Yitang looked disgusted and ordered the guard fiercely, "Bring water and splash her awake."
Before the guard could take the order, Mu Wanqing dissuaded her and said, "Forget it, you can't get anything out of her even if you beat her to death."
"Then what should we do?" An Yitang looked irritated, throwing the whip to the guard, with a hint of unwillingness in his words, "I originally wanted to arrest someone and go to the prince to claim credit, but now it's all in vain."
Mu Wanqing looked at the unconscious Shen Rumeng on the ground, thought for a while, and made a plan for the next step, "You have to do two things now. One is to tell the public that Shen Rumeng is seriously ill and send her back to her parents' home to recuperate. Do it in a big way." , so that everyone in the city can see it. The second thing is to put up a notice to seek medical treatment, saying that Shen Chumu is seriously injured and difficult to treat, and he needs to spend a lot of money to seek medical treatment."
"Still posted?" An Yitang was a little confused.
Mu Wanqing explained: "We sent Shen Rumeng away. There is no one in the Duke's Mansion to take care of Shen Chumu. Shen Ruzhou is worried that she will definitely come in person. This time we will send more people to watch, and we will definitely make sure she doesn't come back."
"Okay, I'll do it right away." An Yitang thought this plan was a good one and agreed.
The next day, the news that Shen Rumeng was sent back to Kyoto to recuperate and that the Duke's government spent a lot of money to seek medical treatment quickly spread in Hongcheng, and Shen Ruzhou was worried.
Beixiu Yan had been in Hongcheng to inquire about news these days, and had a clear look at the surrounding garrison. Seeing that Shen Ruzhou was anxious, he said, "Let's go to the military camp."
Hearing this, Shen Ruyi was startled, "The prince is going to lead the soldiers from the military camp to the Anguo Duke's mansion to rob people?"
"I'm going to rob someone, but I'm not going to go there." Bei Xiuyan said unhurriedly, as if he had a plan in mind.
"Ru Zhou, Commander Zhou of the Hongcheng garrison is your father's old subordinate. He was saved by Shen Chumu on the battlefield before. Now that you go to him to save your brother, he will never refuse."
After agreeing on a countermeasure, Shen Ruzhou didn't want to waste a moment. After simply packing up, he and Bei Xiuyan went to the Hongcheng military camp.
When Commander Zhou heard that the lady from the Shen family was coming, he greeted her respectfully.
"Commander Zhou, my daughter, Shen Ruzhou, is Shen Chumu's sister. I came here rashly and disturbed you." Shen Ruzhou explained his identity and greeted him politely.
Bei Xiuyan, dressed as an attendant, followed her silently.
Commander Zhou was a military general and a rough man. He didn't know how to return the greeting, so he could only rub his hands in embarrassment and said sarcastically, "Miss Shen, there's no need to be polite. It's cold outside, let's talk inside."
After entering the camp, Shen Ruzhou got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
As soon as Commander Zhou heard that his savior was in trouble, he immediately patted his chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, Miss Shen. I will fetch General Shen and bring him in for nourishment."
"This will help Commander Zhou." Shen Ruzhou was grateful and knelt down to salute again.
Commander Zhou scratched his head in embarrassment and said repeatedly, "Miss Shen, you are the daughter of the general. Just tell me whatever you want me to do. Being so polite really offends me."
After saying that, he walked out of the camp like a wind, ordered his troops and went straight to Anguo Duke's mansion.
An Yitang was confused when he heard that Commander Zhou was coming. Although Commander Zhou led troops to garrison in Hongcheng, the two had no contact with each other.
He invited people into the living room, asked the servants to serve tea, and then asked tentatively: "General Zhou is here. What do you want to do?"
"I saw a notice in the city that General Shen was seriously injured and no one in Hongcheng could treat him. Is this possible?"
"It's true." An Yitang agreed casually, secretly speculating on Commander Zhou's intention.
"There are a few military doctors in our army who have acceptable medical skills. They would like to take General Shen to the military camp for treatment. I would like to ask Mr. An Guo for permission."
Commander Zhou was polite in his words, but his actions were domineering. Without waiting for An Guogong to nod, he waved to the accompanying soldiers, "Go and carry General Shen out to the military camp."
"Commander Zhou, what are you..." An Yitang had just begun to speak, and Commander Zhou shot his eye knife, and asked in a threatening voice, "Why, Duke An Guo doesn't agree?"
An Yitang watched him place his hand on the long knife, murderous aura rising all over his body, and his aura suddenly weakened. He swallowed hard and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying, "I don't dare, Commander Zhou, just kill him." Pick it up.”
Commander Zhou arrogantly carried Shen Chumu out of the Duke's Mansion.
An Yitang was so angry that he threw his glass. He obviously had a title and a higher status than Commander Zhou, but he didn't dare to say anything in front of Commander Zhou, just because his title was just in name, while Commander Zhou was Someone who is actually in charge of the army.
Mu Wanqing walked out from behind the screen and comforted her with kind words: "It's okay. I will send someone to inform His Highness the Crown Prince now."
The news that Shen Ruzhou was leading the military camp in Zhoutong soon reached Xiao Chenyan.
He tightened his fingers and crumbled the letter, with a sinister smile on his face, "Jun Wu, get ready, let's go to Hongcheng."
