Rebirth: Missing the Beloved - C87
Du Mu Zhou’s bones were as hard as her mouth, and her body had been beaten to such a state that even men might not be able to endure it. She still said, “I don’t know.”
He didn’t know, but he definitely wouldn’t be able to plead guilty to torture.
All the men at the scene sucked in a breath of cold air. Even the guards who were making a move couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. Inadvertently, the force of the club had become a lot lighter.
Du Mu Zhou’s muffled groan became weaker and weaker.
The old procuress could not bear to watch any longer. She said in a mournful voice, “My lord, we can’t keep hitting them. If we continue, they’ll beat them to death.” If Du Mu Zhou died, what would she do about the severe punishment? She couldn’t afford them.
The justice court officials also knew that Du Mu Zhou was the eldest miss of the Du Family. If something really happened, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to the Du Family.
But this case… He couldn’t just stand there.
Du Mu Zhou’s life was being watched by many people.
“Stop.”
The sound of the sticks hitting flesh finally stopped, and Du Mu Zhou felt that his body was burning.
Just as the air was about to become still, the Grand Master suddenly whispered a few words into the ear of the Supreme Court’s official. The official’s expression changed. “You all wait here.”
The justice court’s official hurried behind the Grand Master, “Are you speaking the truth? Is there really someone who knows about it? ”
The person was dressed in the unique attire of the Dreamy Cloud Immortal. Her graceful figure and expression were completely different, and her face was covered with a thin veil.
The justice court’s official’s face was solemn, “You said you knew, what did you know?”
“Master didn’t want me to say too much. He only wanted me to say that Du Mu Zhou was innocent. I believe you should know about the battle between the royal family.”
The Supreme Court official’s expression changed, “Is it those dirty things again?”
“What do you think?” The woman smiled coquettishly, but there was no warmth in her at all.
“Which two VIPs?” The justice court’s official frowned, detaining Du Mu Zhou wasn’t a big deal.
What if he had something to do with it?
The justice court officials had been officials for so many years that they were most afraid of getting involved in these matters.
“Weren’t those two people who had the most argument recently?”
When the Supreme Court’s official heard this, he sighed, “This can’t be considered as evidence.”
“My master only owes Du Mu Zhou a favor.”
That was the reason why she was here.
Unbeknownst to him, the conversation between the two of them was completely overheard by a man dressed in black on the roof.
The sound of tiles hitting tiles prompted the woman to look up, and her expression immediately changed, “No, I have to go back now. I hope the lord will think carefully about how you are going to be able to release Du Mu Zhou.”
She left a bag behind and left in a hurry.
Her name was in the bag, so that the justice court officials could visit her at any time. However, she didn’t expect that after this farewell, they would actually part ways forever.
Mu Yufeng’s face turned cold when he heard the secret guard’s report. He was initially afraid that the justice court official had overused his sentence and killed Du Mu Zhou.
He just hadn’t thought that he would be able to follow such a news.
“Mistress, what should we do?”
“Are you sure that person is from Dream Immortal Tower?”
Ya He’s face suddenly appeared in Mu Yufeng’s mind.
“I’m sure.”
“Do you know what the man looks like?”
“I don’t know, but it’s pretty close.”
“Kill her.”
It was impossible for Mu Yufeng to leave any clues for outsiders.
“Yes.”
After the guard had left, Mu Yufeng’s face was gloomy. The sun was still going well outside. He took out his coat and planned to make a trip to Dreamburg.
Was Ya He really Jiang He?
Mu Yufeng’s eyes narrowed as he glanced at the signboard. “Dreamscape Pavilion …” His tone was somewhat meaningful.
At this moment, Ya He was discussing matters with Zhou Chenxi.
Mu Yufeng stood outside the door and listened.
“Ya He, is the girl that you let really reliable?”
Zhou Chenxi’s face was filled with worry. Ya He looked into the mirror and paused for a moment. “What do you mean?”
“It’s that girl who went to inform us. It seems like she hasn’t come back after so long.”
“She’s not coming back.”
“What do you mean?” Zhou Chenxi was surprised. Why was Yaho so sure that the girl would not be coming back?
Ya He narrowed his eyes. With a calm expression, he said, “I’m afraid he has already died in a certain corner.” She had never thought the girl would come back alive from the beginning.
Ya He understood Mu Yufeng’s personality very well. Mu Yufeng had his own thoughts about Du MuZhou, so he wouldn’t let him die so easily.
Therefore, she would definitely arrange for people to watch. She let that girl appear here for the sake of giving Mu Yufeng a warning. She, Jiang He, had just returned.
It was not her intention to keep it a secret and pretend to be Ya He to please him.
Zhou Chenxi was stunned, “So you’re saying?” Someone killed the girl? ”
“It’s just that they don’t want the so-called informants to live.”
Ya He’s expression was very cold. She thought about how that girl would not come back alive. She even had a plan on how to supplement that girl’s family members.
“But Ya He, if this goes on, what should we do?” Zhou Chenxi was referring to the matter regarding Du Mu Zhou.
Hearing this, Ya He put down the blush in his hand and looked at Zhou Chenxi, “Do you still not understand why that girl we sent out did not return?”
Zhou Chenxi did not understand what Ya He meant.
The girl that was targeted by Ya He was indeed assassinated, but she wasn’t killed on the spot. Instead, she hid around after getting heavily injured, losing too much blood and dying. Even if the government investigated, they wouldn’t be able to find anything.
Zhou Chenxi was stunned and then thought for a while. Her face was filled with incredulity, “… You mean the person who framed Du Mu Zhou was not trying to kill him? ”
“He, he is not only plotting his life on a wooden boat.”
Ya He knew that the Du Family’s business was flourishing, and even their words had weight in the imperial court. If he could obtain the recognition of the Du Family, Mu Yufeng would be like a tiger with wings.
Mu Yufeng must really want this kind of expression.
Ya He’s heart sank.
Zhou Chenxi was surprised. “Could it be that he wants to go after Du Mu Zhou?”
Hearing that, Ya He’s face was full of sneers: Why not? “Chenxi, you should know that the person Mu Yufeng likes the most is only him.”
Therefore, it was possible for Mu Yufeng to do anything to gain the upper hand.
As long as he could become the so-called Ninth Paragon, everything would be written off.
Mu Yufeng’s expression was ice-cold as he stood outside the door. This time, he was certain that this so-called Ya He wasn’t just because of his appearance, she was clearly Jiang He.
This was because only Jiang He knew him so well, Mu Yufeng.
From the looks of it, he couldn’t let this woman stay any longer. Otherwise, it would be bad for her sooner or later.
Mu Yufeng originally wanted to save Jiang He’s life. After all, it wasn’t her fault that their appearances were similar.
