Ten Imperial Guard soldiers had just been arranged to take turns guarding the area. Li Er had given special instructions for this. After Chai Shao arrived at the scene, he immediately sent double the troops and asked his soldiers to guard him closely. His subordinates agreed and asked Chai Shao if he needed to guard the area.

After dispatching chamberlains and maids, Chai Shao casually asked how many maids and chamberlains were there to serve Yang Yuer and her daughter.

The answer was that there were only two eunuchs and two palace maids. When Chai Shao was considering whether to send more manpower, the courtyard door that had been closed was suddenly pushed open a small crack, revealing half of the wrinkled face of the old eunuch. Chai Shao

Recognizing him at a glance as Xie Mudong, who was often with Yang Yu'er, he called out, "Xie Chamberlain."

"It turns out to be the manager of Chai." Xie Mudong also recognized Chai Shao, and hurriedly saluted Chai Shao at the door, and said respectfully: "Manager, don't get me wrong, I heard something going on outside the courtyard. I just took a look, I don't mean anything else."

.”

After hesitating for a while, Chai Shao ordered: "Thank you, chamberlain, please come out for a moment. I want to ask you something."

Xie Mudong was a little stunned, but under Chai Shao's urging again, he cautiously left the hospital and came to Chai Shao for questioning. Chai Shao first called him to a remote area far away and drove away the people around him.

Then he whispered to Xie Mudong: "Xie Mudong, it's like this. My sister told me that when I sold all my property to raise atonement money for my father-in-law, you accidentally discovered some special circumstances. What were the specific circumstances?"

Hearing this question, Xie Mudong's wrinkled old face suddenly turned pale. He quickly denied it, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything."

"But my sister said you knew." Chai Shao saw something was wrong with Xie Mudong's expression, so he whispered again: "Tell me, don't worry, no matter what it is, I won't tell anyone else."

Xie Mudong still shook his head, resolutely refused to answer, and couldn't wait to find an excuse to ask to go back to serve Yang Yu'er and his daughter. But the more Xie Mudong acted like this, the more suspicious Chai Shao became, so he simply threatened: "Are you going to tell me? If you don't tell me,

I will hand you over to the general and ask him to send someone to interrogate you personally."

"No, no, please don't." Xie Mudong was so frightened that he almost collapsed on the ground. He quickly held on to the nearby trees and begged with a pitiful face: "Manager Chai, please be merciful. I beg you to see how many times I have done this before."

For the sake of delivering medicine to your father in Tianlao, never hand over the old slave to the general, and never let the general know about this."

A casual threat made Xie Mudong react so fiercely. Chai Shao became even more suspicious and whispered: "If you tell me, I won't tell my father-in-law. If not, I will take you to see him immediately and say

You secretly colluded with Chen Yingliang and tried to serve as his spy. Don't think I don't know. You and Chen Yingliang have known each other for a long time."

Being forced, Xie Mudong could only say with a pitiful face: "Manager Chai, I tell you it's okay, but you have to promise me two things. The first is that you must never let anyone know about it again, and the second is that you

Be sure to stay calm and don't get angry."

"You must keep calm? Don't get angry?" Chai Shao had an ominous premonition, nodded, and whispered: "Okay, I promise you."

"Manager Chai, it's actually best if you don't know." Xie Mudong sighed first, then whispered into Chai Shao's ear...

Chai Shao really didn't get angry. Listening to Xie Mudong's low-pitched introduction, Chai Shao just unconsciously had veins popping up on his forehead. He clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, and his nails dug deep into the flesh of his palms, almost breaking the skin and bleeding.

After Xie Mudong finished speaking, Chai Shao remained silent for a long time, then gritted his teeth and asked word by word: "Did you lie to me?"

"Manager Chai, even if I'm so bold, I don't dare to lie to you." Xie Mudong said with a sad face: "After I accidentally found out about that incident, now I regret it so much that my intestines are green, and I only hate myself for meddling in my own business.

, I know something I shouldn’t know.”

Gazing at Xie Mudong's expression, he saw that he showed no pretense except fear and trembling. After a long time, Chai Shao said, "Go back. Don't worry, I won't let anyone know about it again."

Xie Mudong was granted amnesty and hurriedly said goodbye and left. However, Chai Shao lowered his head and remained motionless, clenching his fists in both hands. He didn't know how much time had passed before Chai Shao raised his head, looked into the distance and let out a long sigh. Looking back again, Chai Shao

Shao's eyes accidentally caught sight of a majestic and towering building, and he was stunned again. His mind kept churning and he remained motionless for a long time.
