Chapter 77: Drag into the water

Jiang Yuzhu hurled threatening words at Wei Jing as she walked. After all, Wei Jing was still unmarried, so she found them particularly harsh: "Jiang Yuzhu, you are so shameless!"

Wei Jing was so angry that she dropped her handkerchief and turned away with her maid.

Jiang Yuzhu looked out the door and saw that Wei Jing had no intention of returning. She pursed her lips into a thin and cold arc and said, "Miss Wei is right. If I am too proud and don't take the initiative, how can my husband love and pamper me?"

Not far away, Wei Jing's body swayed.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled sarcastically and walked quickly into the room.

Xie Zhao was playing with the teacup in the room. He heard the entire conversation between his wife and Wei Jing and was impressed by it.

People who don't know Jiang Yuzhu think she is bold and unrestrained, but in fact she just likes to talk nonsense.

His wife's words and actions are totally inconsistent.

Jiang Yuzhu looked around after entering the room and asked, "Where is Liang An?"

"Liang An is with Hong Li and the others."

It takes several hours to ride back and forth between the inner city of the capital and the temporary palace. After Xie Zhao arrived at the temporary palace, he turned back. He led his men to the secret room of Duke Mao's mansion, just to find the person hiding behind Duke Mao.

Xie Zhao did not hide these secrets: "My husband was shot by an arrow in the secret room."

Fortunately, the arrow was not poisoned. Xie Zhao was in a hurry to get back, and before he could treat his wound, he ordered his men to find Liang An. It seemed that his men went to find his wife for emergency help.

"Just look for me. I'm sure I'll be more efficient than Liang An."

In her previous life, Jiang Yuzhu was a female forensic doctor, and she was more professional than many surgeons in treating wounds.

She took a pair of small scissors from her purse and sterilized them over the fire.

The arrowhead was still in Xie Zhao's left arm. Jiang Yuzhu needed to remove it first. Without anesthesia, she could only do it by force: "Here's the handkerchief."

Xie Zhao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Wipe the sweat?"

"Bite it!"

If it hurts too much, there's a risk of biting your tongue.

Jiang Yuzhu forced the handkerchief into Xie Zhao's mouth, and thinking of his mysophobia, she explained, "Don't worry, the handkerchief is new and has not been used yet."

The pain of cutting flesh is not something that ordinary people can endure.

Jiang Yuzhu was worried that Xie Zhao would move around, so she found a rope and tied him up like a dumpling, stuffing a handkerchief in his mouth to prevent him from struggling.

"Just bear with it, I'm doing this for your own good."

Next, Jiang Yuzhu moved extremely skillfully, removing the rotten flesh and pulling out the arrowhead in one go, and then applied the skin-growing ointment given by the man in black.

She looked too focused, while Xie Zhao watched the scene silently, seemingly forgetting the pain.

Jiang Yuzhu had fine black hair, and her dark eyebrows made her smooth jade-like face even more beautiful. Her eyes were always sparkling, and she occasionally showed a coquettish look, which made her look very charming.

"master?"

Xie Zhao was distracted until Jiang Yuzhu called him softly, and then he came to his senses.

At this moment, there were messy footsteps coming from the front of the courtyard gate.

The emperor led the way, followed by dozens of officials.

Without saying hello, Prime Minister Wei barged into the room with a few officials.

Xie Zhao wanted to dodge but was held down by Jiang Yuzhu.

Xie Zhao's injury cannot be discovered. Judging from Prime Minister Wei's attitude, he is determined to turn the situation upside down.

At the critical moment, Jiang Yuzhu stepped forward and hugged Xie Zhao's waist.

There was a sound of air conditioning being pumped in front of the door.

The few adults who entered the door first immediately withdrew, with surprise on their faces.

I've known for a long time that Xie Zhao and Jiang Yuzhu were playing tricks, but I never thought it was true!

In broad daylight, Xie Zhao was tied up, with a handkerchief stuffed in his mouth, and allowed Jiang Yuzhu to touch him as she pleased.

Even in the land of flowers and willows, you can't find anything this big!

Jiang Fulu blocked the door and angrily said, "Old Wei, how can you be so disrespectful even though you are the Prime Minister? You came in without even saying hello. Where are your manners? Are you a thief?"

Prime Minister Wei felt guilty, but thinking of that scene, he retorted: "Old thief Jiang, look at the daughter you educated. She is in broad daylight with Lord Xie..."

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Fulu raised his eyebrows, not caring at all. His Yuzhu could do whatever she wanted, and it was not an outsider's turn to interfere!

"The couple is loving and has some little romance. Does it violate the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty? If so, Jiang will definitely teach his daughter a lesson..."

If it violates the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty, then we can find a workaround and use a method that does not violate the laws of the Great Qi Dynasty for the first time.

For example, if kidnapping is illegal, then just put the person in a cage.

As long as Jiang Yuzhu likes her, Jiang Fulu, as a father, will unconditionally support her. He only has this one daughter!

Inside the room, Xie Zhao calmly changed into his official uniform and went out with Jiang Yuzhu.

Xiao She was at the front and squinted his eyes.

Xie Zhao understood and hooked Jiang Yuzhu's finger under his sleeve.

When their fingers touched, they immediately felt a tingling sensation.

Jiang Yuzhu was shocked, but she still had to smile.

"Your Majesty, you and the others are..."

Xie Zhao pretended to be ignorant and pretended not to notice the ridicule on everyone's faces.

This isn't the first time I've been misunderstood. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often.

But from today onwards, the rumors in the capital will only become more outrageous. I hope his mother, Shen, can be more sober and not be led by the rumors.

"Prince Jia was murdered."

Jiang Fulu was worried that his son-in-law was unaware of the situation, so he spoke first.

The emperor had just received the news and was about to lead all the officials to take a look, and he also called Xie Zhao to go along.

Just half a year after Duke Mao died, Prince Jia had another accident.

The nobles gathered together and made a fuss, demanding that the emperor give an explanation.

Xiao She still had use for Jia Xinglin, but he died just a few days after the marriage was granted. Was it Wei Jing who did it, or was there some hidden force behind it?

Xie Zhao nodded slightly and joined the team.

As soon as everyone left, Qiao Ying ran over to tell Jiang Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, something terrible is happening!"

"I know that Jia Xinglin was killed."

Jiang Yuzhu estimated that the mastermind behind the scenes probably chose to get rid of Jia Xinglin after the others scattered and ran away.

Moreover, that person should not be Xie Zhao's subordinate.

Qiao Ying nodded: "Have you heard? Jia Xinglin has Mr. Xie's dagger stuck in his chest!"

Qiao Ying's cousin married an official of the Dali Temple, and she just got the first-hand information from her cousin.

Is Xie Zhao involved?

Things started to become abnormal when Jia Xinglin lost consciousness. The dark force was plotting step by step. Was the final target Xie Zhao?

As her own interests were involved, Jiang Yuzhu called the maid she had found and said, "Let's go and take a look!"

Jia Xinglin was lying among the peonies, his butt naked and his lower body covered with a piece of cloth.

There was a dagger stuck in his chest, with the blade buried deep inside.

The coroner was performing an autopsy and measuring the wound on Jia Xinglin's chest.

When Wei Shoufu saw the dagger, he said with a sad face: "Yuanhe, why did you kill Master Jia?"

There was no doubt that the dagger belonged to Xie Zhao, and Prime Minister Wei immediately convicted him.

Xie Zhao disappeared for several hours and had no alibi.

Jiang Yuzhu was furious. It was obvious that someone had framed her!

"Minister Wei, this dagger is indeed my husband's, but he gave it to me for self-defense more than a month ago."

Xie Zhao was injured, so Jiang Yuzhu had to divert attention from Xie Zhao. According to Prime Minister Wei's logic, the murderer would soon be blamed on her.

Prime Minister Wei did think so, but before he could point it out, Jiang Fulu yelled, "This is not right, Your Majesty. The dagger was given to me by Yuzhu, and I gave it to Lu Yushi. How could it be here?"

According to the time of Jia Xinglin's death, Jiang Fulu and Censor Lu had been accompanying the emperor all the time and had no time to commit the crime.

Censor Lu: “…”

Jiang Fulu is such a good man. He dragged an innocent man into trouble. Ever since he became friends with the Jiang family, I don't know how many blames have been put on Censor Lu!
