Chapter 448 Someone else is behind it
No wonder his aunt was so concerned about her. Compared with those male lovers in her backyard who were covered in makeup, she was indeed a stunning beauty.
Wen Ruyu, who was already extremely anxious, found the manager of Ziyu Tower and asked him why Jiang Youzhen was kidnapped for no reason.
"Manager, is this how you treat guests at Ziyun Tower? Before I came here, I heard that everything about guests at Ziyun Tower is kept absolutely confidential. If you hadn't revealed it, how could my junior brother have been kidnapped?"
Wen Ruyu was very angry. Those people came with such a threatening force that she didn't even have a chance to ask any questions.
If something happened to Jiang Youzhen, wouldn't he feel guilty for the rest of his life?
Manager Li said with a bitter face, "Please forgive me, Master Wen. I have already informed the Madam and she will handle it immediately. Now it is important for us to find the person. Did you see which room they took Master Jiang to? If you are sure, we will go and ask him now."
"It's your job to find someone, why are you asking me? Shouldn't you go check it out right now? My junior brother is a candidate for the provincial examination. If something goes wrong, can your Ziyun Tower afford it?"
When he heard that Jiang Youzhen was a candidate for the provincial examination, he knew that he had already achieved academic success! This was no small matter, and Manager Li quickly asked someone to go to that room.
"But Master Wen, Tingyuxuan has been booked by Master Luodan. That room belongs to Tingyuxuan, and maybe that person knows Master Jiang? It's not a good idea to barge in rashly right now, so why not ask Master Luodan first!"
Manager Li was also panicked just now, but now he finally remembered something strange.
He had never encountered such a thing before. Who would have thought that a teenager could be kidnapped? She was not a girl.
"Are you Jiang Youzhen?" The Third Master had not taken a seat, so how could he sit below Princess Changsui?
Can she bear the respect shown to a little princess?
"That's right!" Jiang Youzhen nodded. It was obvious at first glance that this guy was difficult to get along with.
I didn’t expect the third prince would come. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come.
The Third Master glanced at Jiang Youzhen, then turned his gaze to Luo Dan who followed in.
Luo Dan was relieved to see that Jiang Youzhen was fine. If something really went wrong, it would inevitably cause trouble.
"Dear guests, the banquet is about to begin. The prefect is waiting at the pavilion. Why don't we go there?" Luo Dan came forward to help, without mentioning a word about Princess Changsui taking people away.
"Alright!" The Third Master nodded. "Mr. Jiang, why don't you come with me? I also have some knowledge that I want to learn from you."
"I dare not! I dare not!" Jiang Youzhen shook his head, but still followed.
Didn't she see the two guards behind the Third Prince staring at him? How could she not follow him? Besides, she had been out for so long, Wen Ruyu was already getting impatient.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Youzhen walked out of the house, he saw Wen Ruyu and a group of people standing at the door of the house, about to rush in.
"Senior Brother!" Jiang Youzhen shouted hurriedly.
She was not afraid of offending Princess Changsui, but not Wen Ruyu. He had not yet entered the court, and if she made enemies because of her, she would be guilty.
Suddenly he remembered that Princess Changsui liked handsome men, and Wen Ruyu was also a gentleman with a handsome appearance, so he hurried forward to block everyone's view.
"You're finally out. What happened? What do they want to do? Why did they arrest you?" Wen Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Jiang Youzhen appear.
"Nothing, it's all a misunderstanding. Brother, the banquet is about to begin, let's go!"
How could Princess Changsui, who was not far from them, not see Wen Ruyu? This Wen Ruyu was also very beautiful. She had never come to this small Tongzhou Prefecture and found so many talented people.
However, she still likes Jiang Youzhen's personality, which is interesting.
Wen Ruyu felt that the matter was not that simple, but it was obviously not convenient to ask now, so he decided to wait until he got back to ask!
The purpose of Luo Dan's hosting of this banquet was originally to win over the prefect Li Anshun, but unexpectedly, the third prince also came to Tongzhou Prefecture.
The Li family was originally the party of the Third Prince, and Li Anshun was from a side branch. This opportunity to meet the Third Prince was rare, so how could he possibly pay attention to his solicitation?
It seems that the plan has changed, and this thing cannot be accomplished today.
Luo Dan looked at Jiang Youzhen who was sitting and drinking with Wen Ruyu. If he failed to win over Li Anshun, it would be a good thing if he could win over Jiang Youzhen.
But how to win him over? Jiang Youzhen's attitude towards him is not hot or cold, and he has no intention of getting close to him.
Seeing Princess Changsui, who was sitting next to the main seat at the top, staring at Jiang Youzhen, he couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
"I went to Jiangnan for work this time and passed through Tongzhou Prefecture. I heard that Master Jiang and Master Wen were both talented writers. Luodan happened to be holding a banquet today, so I came to bother them."
"What are you talking about, Third Master? It is an honor for Luodan that you are here." Luodan quickly stood up and answered respectfully.
"I have met you two gentlemen today and I have found that you are both outstanding people. I also like to write poetry on weekdays, so I will need your guidance later."
Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian quickly stood up and said a few humble words. Wen Ruyu didn't know the other party's identity, but seeing that everyone at the table was very reserved and respectful to this person, she guessed that this person was of extraordinary identity.
"Everyone, don't be so reserved. I heard that Ziyun Tower has many ways to have fun. We might as well go and see them for ourselves."
After the Third Master finished speaking, he asked someone to bring the pitch pot. Many young men from wealthy families in the city came today, so the atmosphere was quite lively.
Everyone was playing the game of pitching pots, but Jiang Youzhen discovered that the Third Master, who was sitting at the main seat at the top, was missing.
Wen Ruyu saw the opportunity and approached Jiang Youzhen and asked in a low voice: "Who is the person at the top? Why are people so afraid of him?"
"Third Prince!"
Wen Ruyu gasped in surprise, "Third Prince?"
"Brother, keep your voice down. Let's not get too close. We are not the host today. We are just the foil."
Jiang Youzhen originally wanted to find out the identities of the cloaked man and Luo Dan, but it seems that he can't do that today. However, one thing is certain, the one who cooperated with the two before was definitely not the third prince.
Wen Ruyu nodded heavily. They were not even a juren now, so it was better not to get involved.
"Mr. Jiang, my Third Master invites you to the study to have a private chat."
Suddenly, a guard who had been beside the Third Master just now came over. Jiang Youzhen was a little surprised, but still stood up and said, "Thank you for leading the way!"
After giving Wen Ruyu a look that urged him to stay calm, he followed the guards out of the flower hall.
At this moment in the study, the third prince looked angry.
"Are you saying that Madam Liu is ungrateful and unwilling to cooperate with me?"
"Yes! I just went to test it out, and Madam Liu said that there is someone else behind this inn, and their Chen family is not the real owner." The guard replied respectfully.
"Who is it?" There was a sinister flash in the third prince's eyes.
"I don't know. She didn't say it clearly. She only said that Ziyunlou would not be transferred, let alone forming a partnership with other people. She refused to say anything else. She seemed very confident."
