Chapter 1313: Beaten Up
“Who cares about the Da Ling Emperor?” The beggar was still talking. “Who cares about Wufu? I don’t even know. Why would I dare mess around with Prince Xu? I’m not that crazy! All of this is quite strange. I don’t understand any of it.”
“Then do you know who the guards who interrogated you are?” Xue Yan asked.
The beggar said, “I can recognize quite a few of their voices. I’ve never seen them before, so I don’t know who they are. But I heard that the few people who beat me called for someone named Da He. They always try to suck up to this guy. They do this to get an easier job in the future. I think this guy named He has a good relationship with Prince Xu.”
There were many things that they had not figured out yet, so they could not ask Fu Xu about it rashly. However, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan felt that it was still possible to ask Fu Xu’s people.
Their gazes met again.
Therefore, after leaving the beggar’s place, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan sent two Cloud Guards to capture the man named Da He from Prince Xu’s residence.
The people that Xue Yan had sent to Beicheng previously were mostly Cloud Guards, and the other half were secret guards.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan patiently waited in a small alley.
Among the servants of Prince Xu’s estate, Da He had quite a reputable reputation because he had some distant relatives who knew the butler. With a little inquiry, they found out who this Da He was.
Coincidentally, Da He was leading his men to search the streets for the beggar who had been taken away. He was asking the other beggars if they had seen that beggar, but the other beggars said they had not seen him.
Where else could he go? It would not look good if he came back empty-handed. After all, Prince Xu ordered them to bring him back. No matter what, they had to search for him.
The weather today was especially hot. Da He was sweating profusely, so he asked others to continue searching. He was alone, sitting in a shady place to enjoy the cooling wind, and he kept using the hem of his clothes to fan his sweaty face.
He planned to wait until nightfall before bringing his men back to tell Prince Xu that he couldn’t find the beggar. This way, he would not get too mad seeing that they searched a whole day for him.
Seeing that Da He was alone, the Cloud Guard seized the perfect opportunity to put a gunny sack over Da He and brought him to the alley where Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were. He beat Da He up until he started to beg for mercy.
However, the Cloud Guard did not remove the sack. He still covered Da He’s head and upper body. However, he asked, “Speak. Why are you looking for that beggar?!”
Da He was still begging for mercy. It was too painful to live like this, and he was trembling in pain. “Prince Xu commanded us to find him, not us. Please let me go. Otherwise, if he finds out I’m missing, they’ll come for you.”
The Cloud Guard immediately kicked him again.
It was so painful that Da He didn’t dare to speak another word.
“What does he want to do with that beggar?” Another Cloud Guard pretended to be vicious as he asked.
Da He was in so much pain that he couldn’t take another blow. He quickly replied, “It was that beggar who provoked him. Previously, he helped someone to send a letter to him. I heard from my housekeeper that the contents of the letter were a scare tactic. Of course, he became angry, so he caught the beggar and wanted to know more. In the end, the beggar said nothing. Bullsh*t! One look and you can tell that he’s not an ordinary person. How dare he send that letter?”
