Everyone laughed out loud.
Someone laughed and said to Mr. Xu, "What did we see? We didn't see anything. But since Mr. Xu doesn't care about where his daughter went and what her future will be like, we outsiders have nothing to say."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Master Chen's face turned pale. He was so embarrassed and angry that his hair stood on end. He took a few steps forward and grabbed Master Chen. He stared at Qingfeng with his sharp eyes and asked, "Excuse me, my future daughter-in-law is missing. Her maid said she came to the Imperial Envoy's courtyard. Can you tell me if she is there or not?"
Qing Feng was a little stunned. He looked inside and seemed to be thinking about something. Soon he shook his head guiltily: "What daughter-in-law? What are you talking about?!"
He seemed to be angry, and frowned at everyone: "The imperial envoy is resting, you broke into the imperial envoy's yard and disturbed the imperial envoy, this is a serious crime!"
"Don't try to fool me with these!" Master Chen looked at his evasive eyes, and became even more anxious and angry: "Am I afraid of these? Tell me honestly, is Miss Xu in the Imperial Envoy's courtyard?!"
He gritted his teeth and stared at Mr. Xu, sneering: "If that's the case, then there's nothing to say. I can only say that I misjudged him. Our Chen family is not worthy of the Xu family!"
He admitted it too!
But we can't just drag it on like this and then tell him in the end that it's okay and let his son be a cuckold. There must be reason for everything in this world. This is not the way to do things!
Mr. Xu couldn't help but stutter when he spoke.
He really didn't know how the incident happened, nor did he know why his daughter suddenly disappeared and was said to be with Shen Chen.
Judging from Qingfeng's performance, he really seems to be feeling guilty.
But if Xu Jiaojiao is really with Shen Chen, then it’s over!
This group of people had been eyeing him covetously from the beginning, and were resentful that he was able to take the lion's share and become the leader and deputy envoy of the Maritime Customs. If they knew about this, they would definitely use this incident to attack him and Shen Chen.
And if Liu Biping interferes again and submits a memorial, Shen Chen might not even be able to become the imperial envoy!
If they fail to become the imperial envoy, the Xu family’s fate will be even more miserable!
I don’t know who wants to harm them like this!
He was so anxious that tears were about to come out. A grown man, he was so anxious that his whole body was covered in cold sweat. He wanted to beg everyone to let these people calm down.
But no one cares about him. At this moment, what he thinks is the least important.
Everyone was most interested in what was happening in the yard.
If it was really Xu Jiaojiao who stayed here with the imperial envoy, wow, this would cause a huge uproar and arouse the anger of so many people. Shen Chen would not be able to serve as the imperial envoy for long.
The arrival of a new imperial envoy means that things will change and interests may be redistributed.
Someone immediately made a sarcastic sound, "Yeah, even if you die, you should be a sensible ghost, right? This is not very glorious. If you want to give away a daughter, then give away a daughter. If you want to give away a daughter, give away someone who is not engaged. If you give away an engaged one like this, how much hatred will you have against your in-laws?"
Qing Feng looked at them coldly from the doorway, then asked slowly, "What are you talking about? Who is it?"
Still pretending.
Master Chen was so excited that he didn't care about anything else. He pointed at Qingfeng with a trembling voice, and really didn't care about the hierarchy. He grabbed Qingfeng's hand and said, "Sir, this matter can't be explained in a short time. Please ask the imperial envoy to stand up... We have something to ask him."
Qing Feng couldn't help but sneered: "This is really new. Is this the rule in your Rong City? Anyone can enter the imperial envoy's room casually and pull the imperial envoy out of bed at any time? You Rong City really have great power!"
Normally, some people are afraid.
But after Qingfeng's outburst today, no one took his words seriously.
After all, everyone knows that even if today's incident is investigated, the law cannot punish everyone - there are so many people, who should be punished first
Even if there really is to be punishment, then Master Chen should be punished first.
Moreover, if something really happened, there would be no question of who to punish and who not to punish, and the imperial envoy himself would be in a difficult position.
There are so many people with different thoughts, and no one wants to go in and see the excitement. For a moment, Qingfeng is a little overwhelmed.
The more he couldn't hold on, the more everyone was convinced that there was something wrong. He was hiding something, and the more serious the fuss became, and it was difficult to end it for a while.
The noise of the crowd even drowned out the sound of drums, music and laughter outside.
Under such circumstances, there had to be some movement inside. Han Bo ran out and asked them, "What are you doing? The Imperial Envoy is resting. What are you doing?"
"It's nothing special." Master Chen bowed to him, trying to maintain his last bit of calmness: "We just want to see the Imperial Envoy and ask a few questions."
Han Bo sighed.
Everyone thought he would stop them again, but he suddenly said, "The Imperial Envoy has just woken up and is looking for Master Chen and Mr. Xu for something. Now that you are here, come in."
Everyone's expression was a little subtle.
Although he was willing to meet people, the people he met were Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu. What does this mean
This means that the old woman did not lie and the girl from the Xu family really entered the imperial envoy's courtyard.
The imperial envoy has now woken up and heard the noise outside, so he wants to call Master Chen and Mr. Xu in alone to settle the matter privately.
Everyone had different expressions. Qing Feng had already made way for them: "Master Chen, Mr. Xu, please come in."
Then someone couldn't help but sneer: "The Imperial Envoy only invited Master Chen and Mr. Xu? We can't get in?"
Qing Feng fixed his eyes on that person and smiled: "Who is this?"
His eyes fell on Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu looked at the man and managed to calm himself down to answer his question: "This is the magistrate of Qinghe County under Rongcheng."
Those who come here are all well-known, so there aren't many people here to begin with.
Because Qinghe County is close and not far from the pier, the magistrate of Qinghe County was also among the invited guests.
Qing Feng said "oh" and smiled meaningfully: "Since you want to come in so much, then come in together. Is there anyone else who particularly wants to come in?"
Something seemed to be wrong, and everyone noticed it and looked at each other in confusion.
Aren't you here to catch an adulterer? Just now, the guard looked guilty, but why did he change now? He even let people in on his own initiative. Is there no one inside
