Chapter 20 The Right Person

Seeing Wu Tianjiao's cold, ashen face filled with murderous intent, Jin Dafu dared not be negligent in the slightest and hurriedly said,

"After the incident, His Highness Prince Fu and the others... left through the back door, and they've probably returned to their residence by now!"

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the main gate, and five military police officers, carrying waist knives, entered Jiangshan Tower.

Wu Tianjiao recognized the first one very well. After thinking for a while, he remembered

that he was the military police captain who had intervened to stop the fight between Wu Hanshuang, the eldest daughter of the Wu family, and Cao Wenrong, the eldest uncle of the Grand Duke, four years ago.

As for his name, Wu Tianjiao still didn't know it.

The arrival of the military police captain at Jiangshan Tower was obviously for the murder case.

After receiving the report from Jiangshan Tower and understanding the details of the case, the military police had been slow to arrive. It wasn't that they didn't want to

hurry , but the key was that the military police couldn't handle this murder case even if they wanted to. They could only drag it out and let

it fade away, which was the best outcome.

The military police captain entered Jiangshan Tower and saw a palace guard in the hall. His expression changed, and when he recognized

the emperor as the "Golden Knife Prince Consort," he felt a chill run down his spine, but then quickly relaxed and

smiled . His complex emotions stemmed from his ignorance of the deceased woman—he knew she was Wu Tianjiao's maid, but rather

an ordinary woman. Moreover, Wu Tianhu, the second young master of the Wu family, was among those involved. Therefore, the captain was initially

surprised, then relieved. In his line of work, the worst thing was for things to escalate and reach the emperor;

no . Wu Tianjiao was Wu Tianhu's brother; surely he wouldn't make a scene and report it to the emperor?

"Prince Consort! So you're here too. Ma Yu greets you!"

The captain smiled and bowed deeply to Wu Tianjiao, his attitude extremely respectful.

Wu Tianjiao had no good impression of Ma Yu, the military police captain. Four years ago, Ma Yu had

protected Cao Wenrong, the eldest son of the Grand Duke, because of Wu Hanshuang

. If Wu Hanshuang hadn't been the eldest daughter of the Wu family, she would probably have been arrested and imprisoned by the military police. The military police were all cowards who

bullied the weak and feared the strong. "The military police are really efficient! This murder happened almost an hour ago, and you only just arrived. I truly

admire you!"

Wu Tianjiao said sarcastically.

Ma Yu's heart sank, and he smiled and said, "Your Highness, what brings you here?"

"Am I here? Are you surprised?"

Wu Tianjiao sneered. "The one who died outside was my maid. How could I not be here? My maid

is dead. I wonder how the authorities will handle this case?"

Ah! Ma Yu was startled, his mouth agape, and he exclaimed in horror, "What? Your Highness, you're saying... the one who died outside

was... your maid?"

Wu Tianjiao snorted coldly, ignoring Ma Yu, and said to Jin Dafu, "Bring me a pen and paper!"

Jin Dafu repeatedly agreed, not daring to delay, and hurriedly had his servants prepare pen, ink, and paper. Wu Tianjiao spread a sheet of

white paper on the table, grabbed Jin Dafu's arm with his right hand, and forced him to sit on a stool beside the table. Pointing at the white paper,

he shouted, "Write!"

Jin Dafu picked up the pen, his hand trembling uncontrollably, and asked in astonishment, "Your Highness! You... want me to write

... what?"

"A list!"

Wu Tianjiao said coldly, "I want you to write

down the names of all the people involved in the case that drove my maid to her death. If you miss one person, I'll break one of your arms; if you miss two, I'll break both of your arms; if you miss even more, I

'll break both of your legs!"

This was nonsense; how could anyone be so threatening? Speaking without logical order, who breaks a hand before a leg

? How can you write if your hand is broken? However, even without Wu Tianjiao's threats, Jin Dafu dared not omit anyone.

In his mind, with the First Prince and Prince Fu involved, there was no need to hide the others.

Jin Dafu's hands trembled as he wrote name after name on the white paper. The first was Prince Fu,

the second Cao Wenrong, then Cao Wenfu, Xiao Guoliang, Wu Tianhu, and so on. Due to his nervousness and fear,

the first few names were written crookedly, like scribbles. However, after writing a few, Jin Dafu

gradually calmed down, and his writing became smoother, his strokes flowing like dragons and snakes, revealing his beautiful handwriting.

Seeing Wu Tianjiao asking Jin Dafu to write a list, the military police captain Ma Yu's expression changed, not understanding what Wu Tianjiao was trying to

do. Hearing Wu Tianjiao say that the deceased was Wu Tianjiao's maid, Ma Yu was indeed startled, but upon reflection

, he felt it wasn't a big deal. It was just a lowly maid who had died. When Wu Tianjiao asked

Jin Dafu write down the list, he was dismissive, thinking, "It's just a maid who died, why write down a list? Is it

necessary to make such a fuss? Hmm! I don't believe you dare to question Prince Fu and the others. Even if you complain to His Majesty,

it's useless!"

In no time, Jin Dafu had finished writing down the list, dried the ink, and carefully handed it to Wu

Tianjiao , saying, "Your Highness, it's...it's done! However, the names of Prince Fu's attendants...I don't know

their names, so...I can't write them down!"

Wu Tianjiao took the list and looked at it. There were six names on it: Prince Fu, Cao Wenrong, Cao Wenfu

, Xiao Guoliang, Wu Tianhu, and Shen Junying.

The fact that Shen Junying, the young master of the Heavenly God Palace, was among them made Wu Tianjiao's face instantly turn terribly gloomy. After a moment of contemplation

, he asked, "Besides them, is there anyone else?"

Jin Dafu cautiously replied, "Besides their entourage, there is no one else!"

Wu Tianjiao snorted coldly, folded up the list, and said, "If I find out that you forgot to write down

anyone, then your Jiangshan Tower will have to close down!"

"I wouldn't dare!"

Jin Dafu said fearfully.

"My maid died in your Jiangshan Tower. As the owner, you can't shirk your responsibility!"

Wu Tianjiao said coldly. "In broad daylight, you allowed your guests to forcibly abduct a woman, committing

debauchery and raping women in your restaurant. Jin Dafu, what is your crime?"

Jin Dafu panicked and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, crying, "Your Highness, I... I had no choice!

What Prince Fu and his men were doing, I couldn't stop them even if I wanted to!"

He was telling the truth. He really couldn't stop Prince Fu from doing what he wanted, but the restaurant was his, and he couldn't escape

responsibility. Just looking at Jin Dafu's appearance, Wu Tianjiao felt a bit displeased. He looked like a fat pig, and it was obvious that he was a rich man.

"You heartless, unscrupulous merchant! Imagine Jiangshan Restaurant is located in a prime, bustling area, with frequent patrols of military police. If Prince Fu

and his gang had abducted women and raped young girls, and if Jin Dafu had intervened or called the patrolling

police, perhaps Xiang'er wouldn't have died.

" "Jiangshan Restaurant is the most prestigious restaurant in the capital. If you can't stop people from committing crimes in your restaurant,

what's the point of keeping it open?"

Wu Tianjiao wasn't about to let Jin Dafu off so easily, and sneered, "I think your restaurant

doesn't need to stay open anymore. Just close down!"

Jin Dafu broke out in a cold sweat, but he was deeply resentful, thinking to himself, "It was Prince Fu and the Grand Uncle who killed your maid

. If you have the guts, go find them! Why are you trying to be a hero to us good citizens?"

However, he knew that clearing his name wouldn't be easy. He gritted his teeth, stood up, and said:

"Your Highness! Can we go upstairs...to talk?"

Wu Tianjiao sneered, knowing exactly what Jin Dafu was up to. If Xiang'er's body weren't still

lying outside, he really would have liked to talk to Jin Dafu. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Manager Jin wants to talk to me?

Fine ! But you're too fat and heavy. I don't want to talk to you. If you want to have a proper talk, you'd better find a suitable

person to talk to me. I'll give you three days. If you can't find a suitable person to

talk to me after three days, then your Jiangshan Tower can forget about opening!"

With that, he turned and left the building.

Jin Dafu stood there dumbfounded, watching Wu Tianjiao's departing figure, opening his mouth to call out, but no sound came out.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses and saw the military police captain Ma Yu standing to the side. His expression changed, as if he had found

a savior. He stepped forward and grabbed Ma Yu's right hand, saying, "Captain Ma, you know about this matter. It was all

caused by the First Prince and His Highness Prince Fu. Now someone has died, and the Golden Knife Prince Consort can't afford to offend His Highness Prince

Fu

, so he's blaming me. Captain Ma, we have a close relationship, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!" What nonsense! Ma Yu was just a lowly military police captain, while Jin Dafu was a well-known

tycoon in the capital. Normally, Ma Yu would

only . The two of them had no relationship whatsoever!

Jin Dafu was also grasping at straws in his desperation. Tycoons like him had many connections in the capital and maintained close ties with

government officials. As long as it wasn't a big problem, everything could be resolved. But this time was different.

The one who died was someone from the Jin Yang Prince's Mansion, the maid of Wu Tianjiao, the third young master of the Wu family. Although Wu Tianjiao was an illegitimate son of the Wu family and

had little power, he was the imperial prince consort, the son-in-law of Prime Minister Xiao, and now a first-rank imperial

bodyguard. Especially since he was young and arrogant, and at the height of his power, if he couldn't afford to offend Prince Fu and the Grand Uncle, could

he not afford to offend Jin Dafu?

Of course, Ma Yu had made a lot of money at Jiangshan Tower,

and seeing Jin Dafu in such trouble, he felt very sorry for him and didn't want Jiangshan Tower to close down. Otherwise, where would he go to make money?

Seeing Wu Tianjiao disappear from the restaurant, Ma Yu's courage swelled. He chuckled dryly and said, "

Manager , you don't need to worry too much. Wu Tianjiao only lost a lowly maid. He can't afford to offend Prince Fu

and his men, so naturally he's settling the score with you. To put it bluntly, he

just ! Didn't he tell you to find a suitable person to talk to him within three days? Don't you understand?"

Hearing Ma Yu's words, Jin Dafu's mind cleared up considerably, but he still felt... A little confused, he asked, "He wants the right

person to talk to? What kind of person would be considered the right person?"

Ma Yu chuckled and said, "That depends on how generous you are, Manager Jin! The Golden Knife Prince Consort lost a maid,

but doesn't your Jiangshan Tower have plenty of maids? Just send him a few more maids, and give him a sum of money, hehe!

Money talks, wouldn't that solve everything?"

Jin Dafu was unconvinced, his brows furrowed, and he said, "The Jinyang Prince's Mansion doesn't lack maids, nor does it lack money. This...

will it work ?"

"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried it!"

Ma Yu chuckled. "That Wu Tianjiao... hehe! It's not that I'm looking down on him, but although he's

the son just a poor country bumpkin. I heard that when he first arrived at the Jinyang Prince's Mansion, he was dressed in rags,

looking no different from a beggar on the street. Think about it, how could a poor boy not love money?"

Jin Dafu thought about it and felt a sense of relief. He bowed to Ma Yu and said, "Thank you for your

guidance, Captain Ma!"

After saying that, he quickly had a servant fetch a roll of gold coins from the counter and handed it to Ma Yu, saying with a smile, "Captain Ma,

you've worked hard. This is just a small token of my appreciation for buying everyone some wine!"

Ma Yu's eyes lit up. This roll of money was worth one hundred gold coins. He didn't stand on ceremony and put it away,

saying with a smile , "It's getting late. I need to hurry back to report to the Inspector General. Farewell!"

With that, he left with four military policemen.

Meanwhile, Wu Tianjiao emerged from Jiangshan Tower, picked up Xiang'er's body, and mounted his mount. By this time,

the crowd of onlookers had gradually dispersed, with only a few military police maintaining order.

No one dared to stop Wu Tianjiao from taking Xiang'er's body, allowing him to go.

Wu Tianjiao, carrying Xiang'er's corpse, rode slowly, the sight of the two of them on the street attracting

the attention of . Wu Tianjiao crossed the central avenue, turned into a side street, and then navigated through a labyrinth of alleyways.

After inquiring along the way, about half an hour later, Wu Tianjiao arrived at a small alley, at Xiang'er

's house.
