Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 677 I am very experienced in escaping
Even though he was mentally prepared, Qi Zheng was still shocked when he saw Xianxian's face.
He had met Ji Yunshu several times and was deeply impressed by her, not only because she was the daughter of General Ji, but also because she was Zhao Shen's wife.
And to be fair, Ji Yunshu's appearance is also outstanding among the many noble ladies in the capital.
Qi Zheng felt that she was not as famous as Lu Ningshuang because she had always been in the palace and very few people had seen her.
He really didn't expect to see a face so similar to Ji Yunshu in such a place.
Of course, even if Xianxian really looked exactly like Ji Yunshu, he would not think that the other person was Ji Yunshu.
Thinking of Zhao Shen's strange tone, he finally understood why the other party was so sure that this courtesan named Xianxian was King Yong's person.
There can't be such a coincidence in this world, and he knows very well that many coincidences are intentional.
Xianxian welcomed him into the room. Noticing that he was looking at her with a strange expression, she smiled and said, "Does the Marquis also think that I look like a noble from the capital?"
Qi Zheng narrowed his eyes: "You know?"
Xianxian sat down beside him and poured him some tea. "A young master named Zhao from the capital said that I look a lot like a noble lady from the capital. It seems that the Marquis has also seen that lady. Is it true that they look alike?"
Qi Zheng asked with a smile, "The Young Master Zhao you're talking about is the one who wrote two poems for you a few days ago?"
Xianxian saw that he avoided answering her questions and was very interested in Mr. Zhao, so she didn't care.
After all, the ladies of wealthy families are different from them, and casual comments about them are considered disrespectful.
"Yes, that young man is extremely talented and has a brilliant poetic talent. I'm sure he's very famous in the capital, right?"
Xianxian said it casually, but there was a hint of tentativeness in her words.
Qi Zheng took a sip of tea and said, "I haven't been in the capital for many years, so I don't know much about the people and things in the capital."
Ji Yunshu was naturally famous in the capital. Apart from anything else, her identity as the daughter of General Ji and the niece of the Empress Dowager alone made it impossible for her to keep a low profile.
But these have nothing to do with talent, and he has never heard of Ji Yunshu as a talented woman.
So he was more inclined to believe that the two poems were written by Zhao Shen.
Xianxian didn't want to ask anything. In fact, she thought Qi Zheng's behavior was normal.
Although Yu Shiyi didn't take this marquis seriously, she knew that Emperor Jingming had a methodical way of employing people.
Even if it is just a decoration placed in the open, it will definitely not be a good thing.
She laughed and said, "I thought the Marquis was very familiar with Young Master Zhao."
Qi Zheng said, "He told me everything about you and Yang Zhen, but I have a question. I wonder if you could help me out?"
"Just ask."
When Xianxian said this, she seemed relaxed, but the fingertips holding the teacup turned slightly white.
Qi Zheng glanced at it and then looked away: "According to what you said, you and General Yang just met by chance, only a few times. Why would he give you such an important thing?"
Xianxian was obviously prepared: "Do you know why the Yu family wanted to frame General Yang?"
"He knew something he shouldn't have known?"
Qi Zheng had certainly thought about this question, and this was the most likely outcome he and Zhao Shen came up with.
Xianxian nodded: "Yes, but in fact he originally came here just to socialize with people. I secretly told him the secret of this place. I hoped that he could save those poor girls, but I didn't expect that it would harm him."
This explanation was perfect, so Qi Zheng didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he said, "I'm also trying to track down the whereabouts of those bodies. Would you help me?"
Xianxian: "I wonder what the Marquis wants me to do?"
Qi Zheng stood up and walked out, but turned back to say to Xianxian: "I have been in your room the whole time tonight and have never left. Do you understand?"
Xianxian immediately realized what he wanted to do. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "I understand."
Qi Zheng and Zhao Shen agreed to meet outside the Yu family villa. When he arrived, Zhao Shen was already there.
With him was someone who was beyond Qi Zheng's expectations.
In the darkness, Ji Yunshu poked his head out from behind Zhao Shen and greeted him with a smile, "My Lord."
Qi Zheng: "Why is Madam here?"
He looked at Zhao Shen with disapproval in his eyes.
He had no idea what Zhao Shen was thinking about bringing a woman to such a dangerous place.
Zhao Shen said: "Ashu's martial arts skills are enough to protect herself. Her Qinggong is quite good. If she encounters anything, she can escape."
Since he said so, what else could Qi Zheng say? He could only say, "Be careful later."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Don't worry, I'm very experienced in escaping."
Qi Zheng was skeptical about her statement. He didn't think Ji Yunshu would be in any danger with Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen said: "This villa is very large, let's act separately."
He handed a few porcelain bottles to Qi Zheng, told him to be careful not to get drugged, and then took Ji Yunshu towards the villa.
Before they came, they had asked Princess Rong'an for the blueprints of the villa and knew the general layout of the villa.
Qi Zheng was going to a place where dogs were raised. As soon as he approached, he heard dogs barking. He quickly covered his nose and scattered a bottle of medicine in the direction of the wind.
Fortunately, because of the dogs, there were not many guards here. After a while, both the people and the dogs were silent.
Qi Zheng couldn't help but sigh at the power of this medicine.
He waited for a while before walking in. As soon as he entered, he was stunned by the scene before him.
There are hundreds of dogs of all sizes here, most of them are tied with chains. Some of the dogs are bigger than humans, with sharp fangs showing, shining white in the moonlight.
This is just a sight that makes people feel cold.
Among the dogs, there were two corpses lying there, they had been gnawed to pieces, with scraps of flesh hanging on the white bones.
There is no difference between them and animals hunted by wild beasts.
It's hard to imagine that this is a human.
Qi Zheng has been fighting against river bandits and Japanese pirates for many years. He has long been accustomed to seeing blood and bones, and he can remain calm no matter how many people die in front of him.
But at this moment, the smell of blood in the air made it hard for him to breathe.
On the other side, Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen went straight to the main courtyard as soon as they came in.
They were lucky today, Yu Chuannan was in the villa.
As soon as I got closer, I heard a few creepy screams.
Perhaps they were too confident that no one could break into the villa, so the outer perimeter of the villa was heavily guarded, but once inside, there were no guards at all.
So after they took great pains to avoid the guards outside and got in, they felt relieved.
Ji Yunshu subconsciously wanted to go in the direction of the sound, but Zhao Shen held her back and shook his head at her.
After waiting for a while, the screams continued, but no one appeared around.
The two of them went to the room where the sound came from.
Ji Yunshu followed Zhao Shen and found a seat by the back window, but unexpectedly the window was open.
She glanced inside and was stunned.
