Chapter 88 Tacit Understanding

With a whoosh, a short arrow shot out like a meteor, blinding the eyes of everyone present.

Jia Wu reacted quickly and pulled Yu Jijiu in front of him as a human shield: "Madam Xie, you are quite capable!"

It can be seen that Xie Zhao was only indifferent on the surface, but he actually had concerns, otherwise he would have led his men to rush forward long ago.

With a hostage in his hand, who was an official of moderate importance, Jia Wu was fearless.

Yu Jijiu had never seen such a scene before, and his pupils shrank with fear. Then he slowly closed his eyes and thought to himself: It's over.

Yu Jijiu has always been on good terms with the Wei family, not because he values ​​Prime Minister Wei's character. In the capital, people who don't have friends in the family are isolated and helpless, so following Prime Minister Wei can at least bring him some benefits.

The Yu family has always been at odds with the Jiang family. Jiang Yuzhu took the opportunity to create an accident. Even if he died, he could only blame himself for his bad luck.

Yu Jijiu's heart sank and became increasingly cold.

In a very brief moment, the expected pain did not come, only a click was heard.

Yu Jijiu squinted his eyes and turned his head slightly. The short arrow shot into the upright wooden pillar. He just breathed a sigh of relief when Jiang Yuzhu's second arrow arrived.

Yu Jijiu was provoked and shouted, "Jiang Yuzhu, you are seeking revenge for Jiang Fulu and want to kill me!"

Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyebrows but did not comment.

Jia Wu stared at Jiang Yuzhu and said, "Madam Xie, you are bold and careful, but it's a pity that your archery skills are not accurate. Don't forget that I still have this dog official as a shield, haha!"

Jia Wu was feeling proud, but suddenly his eyes widened and his body swayed. There was another arrow stuck in his back, almost completely penetrated.

From another angle, Xie Zhao put away his bow and arrow and moved his arm deliberately to indicate that his injury had healed.

The couple communicated with each other through eye contact and cooperated well.

Everything happened so fast. When Jia Wuyi died, the spectators were shocked.

Yu Jijiu sat down on the ground, looking at Jia San who had died a tragic death beside him, and suddenly felt like he had survived a calamity.

"God blesses me, I am blessed with a long life!"

Yu Jijiu smoothed his chest, gasped, and sighed that he was lucky that he was not killed by Jiang Yuzhu.

He will report this matter to the emperor at the morning court tomorrow and criticize that old fellow Jiang Fulu for raising a good daughter and then openly killing an official appointed by the imperial court!

A fan standing by couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Master Yu, not only are you ungrateful, but you're also repaying kindness with hatred?"

Yu Jiji stroked his beard and glared, "Thank you, what are you thanking me for? If I hadn't been blessed by the Buddha, I would have become a corpse by now."

"Ginger-eyed wolf!"

"That's right. We can see clearly that it was Madam Xie who used the short arrow to attract Jia Wu's attention, which gave Lord Xie the opportunity to kill Jia Wu."

"Master Yu is deliberately turning a blind eye and blaming others for his mistakes. This is just what scholars are like!"

The theater fans watched it closely and talked about it a lot.

Yu Jijiu's face turned red, and he couldn't say anything to refute when he recalled the scene at that time.

So he was rescued by Jiang Yuzhu, but Jiang Yuzhu hasn't taken credit for it yet?

Comparing the two, the difference is obvious.

Yu Jijiu always regarded himself as a scholar and thought he had a noble character. When he heard the discussions, he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.

Jiang Yuzhu saw it and said with concern: "Master Yu, the situation was out of control at the time, and I couldn't find a chance to discuss it with you, which frightened you. Fortunately, the result was good."

Yu Jijiu thought Jiang Yuzhu would make some sarcastic remarks, but unexpectedly, the other party's words were sincere, which made him blush even more. He hated himself for judging others by his own mean heart.

Yu Jijiu bowed and thanked him solemnly: "Thank you, Madam. I apologize for the offense I caused you before. I hope you will forgive me."

No matter what, he owed him a life-saving favor.

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head and said in a clear voice, "Don't worry, Lord Yu. It's normal for you to have doubts. If it were me, I would probably say something even more unpleasant."

Due to an incident, the Jingzhao Yin Yamen had to seal off the teahouse for a search, so the play was only halfway performed.

The fans spent a lot of money to buy the tickets, but when they found out they couldn't watch the whole show, they excitedly demanded a refund, causing another commotion.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to refund the tickets one by one.

After leaving the teahouse, Hong Jin couldn't help asking, "Madam, Yu Jijiu can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, why did you let him go so easily?"

He got his life for free and still has the nerve to blame it on his wife. He can't tell good from bad!

Jiang Yuzhu didn't care and said softly, "I saved him. Whether he admits it or not, he owes me a big favor. At this critical moment, should I scold him again and make him hate me?"

Since you have chosen to be a good person, do good things to the end.

If you can gain greater benefits by comforting the chief priest with a few words, why not do it?

Hong Jin came back to her senses and said admiringly, "Madam really understands the ways of the world. I am far behind!"

Jiang Yuzhu stroked her chin and said, "On my birthday, I remember my father mentioned that he wanted to bring scholars from the clan to the capital to study."

Hong Jin came from Jiang's house and had a good relationship with the maids. She had heard gossip: "It seems that someone has been sent back to the hometown to pick her up."

Jiang Fulu is indeed decisive and resolute.

The Jiang family’s hometown is not in the capital, but in a mountain valley in the northwestern border.

Three generations ago, only Jiang Yuzhu's grandfather passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. From then on, he claimed to have inherited the family tradition of farming and studying, and opened a school in the village to help the villagers to gain education.

Except for Jiang Fulu, the rest of the Jiang family performed mediocrely.

Several uncles in the clan barely passed the imperial examination but failed repeatedly and ended up getting jobs in the county government to make a living.

The younger generation may not be good at studying, but they are good at making money, and Jiang Huaiqing is the best among them.

In recent days, there have been serious factional disputes in the court. Jiang Fulu has been betrayed, and seeing that the number of people behind him is decreasing, he can't help but worry.

Rather than supporting outsiders, it is better to benefit our own family.

The glory of the Jiang family is not supported by Jiang Fulu alone, but by the concerted efforts of the entire family. The uncles and brothers have been living in comfort for too long, and they all have to roll up their sleeves!

"If Yu Jijiu comes to your house to thank you, tell dad to find a chance to bring it up."

Father Jiang Fulu goes out early and comes back late every day, and Jiang Yuzhu feels a little sorry for his father.

Hong Jin rubbed his face and said, "No wonder you want to save people, Yu Jijiu is very useful!"

Yu Jijiu was in charge of the Imperial Academy, so it was easy for him to send a few people with connections to study there.

No matter how good the academies in the capital are, they cannot compare to the teachers in the Imperial Academy.

Jiang Yuzhu smiled and said, "What else? Do you really think your wife is a living Bodhisattva?"

Jiang Yuzhu is really not a kind person. She was scolded but still risked her life to save people from danger.

The master and servant were chatting when someone behind them said, "Cousin!"

Lu Yunxi waved the folding fan in her hand, smiling: "I saw you from behind just now, what a coincidence."

After saying this, Lu Yunxi looked at Jiang Yuzhu with his deep eyes again, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Yuzhu's heart skipped a beat and she had the urge to run away.

The original owner's bad love affair came, and she didn't know how to face it except to avoid it!

Especially the deep affection in Lu Yunxi's eyes made Jiang Yuzhu speechless.

It has been a few years and the cousin that Lu Yunxi loved has already married. If Lu Yunxi really cared about the original owner, he should have blessed her silently and watched her from afar instead of getting close to her!
