Apocalypse big shot Xu Jinhuan transmigrated, and to top it off, she became the true daughter unloved by her parents.
She thought she was in for a satisfying domestic struggle and revenge sto...
Wu Daoyi's fantasy was disturbed by the servant, and he was so angry that he kicked the servant.
While kicking him, he cursed: "Do you know how to speak? If you can't speak, just shut up. What are you saying about the head of the family being bad? I, your head of the family, am very good!"
The servant was kicked so hard that his teeth were bared, but he didn't dare to cry out in pain. He kept begging for mercy, "Master, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me."
Wu Daoyi ignored the servant's pleas for mercy and continued to kick the servant hard. Only after he had vented his inner emotions did he retract his legs, sit back in his chair and ask slowly.
"Tell me, what happened?"
The servant said respectfully, "Master, a group of people dressed in ordinary people's clothes died in front of our house..."
Before the servant could finish, Wu Daoyi said impatiently, "Since when did you bother me with such trivial matters? If there is a dead body, take it to the mass grave!"
The servant quickly explained, "Master, this is what we originally planned, but someone nearby was shouting and making the news known to everyone, so we came to ask you for advice."
Wu Daoyi frowned when he heard this, and while wondering who was behind this, he called his confidants.
"Wu Daming, go and see what's going on outside."
Wu Daming immediately bowed in response and went to the gate with the flustered servant.
After seeing clearly the faces of the corpses in the row at the gate, Wu Daming's pupils couldn't help but shrink. Aren't these the capable spies sent out by the head of the family?
Why were they all dead, yet placed neatly in front of the Wu residence?
Although Wu Daming was very shocked inside, he did not show it on his face. After looking around, he found that just as the servant said, all the governments had sent people out to check.
He coughed lightly and calmly gave instructions to the servants around him.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you send these people to the government office? Our Wu Mansion will never tolerate evil people and will definitely seek justice for these poor people who died!"
What Wu Daming said was very high-sounding and seemed extremely righteous, but in fact, the officials in the government office were all from their faction, which made it easier for them to do things.
At that time, we can also take a more detailed look at how these people died and who killed them.
You know, the leader of the spies was also one of the people the master trusted the most. Now that he is suddenly gone, the master will definitely not let the murderer go.
After Wu Daming finished speaking, the servants beside him immediately responded respectfully. Some pushed the cart while others carried the body.
When the people in each mansion saw that the matter had been resolved, they all hurried to report the news to their masters in order to get rewards.
As a result, they ran faster than each other, and soon there was no one else around except the servants of the Wu Mansion.
Suddenly, something slipped from the corpse's hand.
Wu Daming, who was standing at the door, suddenly changed his expression when he saw the familiar token. He walked over quickly and picked up the token.
"This is……"
Wu Daming said to the servant with a gloomy face: "Look through their hands and clothes to see if there is anything that can prove their identity."
Although the servants did not understand the significance of doing this, they still searched obediently.
"Butler, this man has a jade pendant in his hand. It looks like it has good water content. I guess he is a rich man." A servant found the jade pendant, wiped it carefully, and respectfully presented it to Wu Daming.
Wu Daming looked at the jade pendant with the word "Jun" written on it, and his face became even gloomier.
He took the jade pendant from the servant and said coldly, "Send these bodies to the government office first. I will report this to the master of the family."
"Yes, butler." The servants replied respectfully.
Wu Daming took the token and jade pendant and ran to the main courtyard in a hurry, not showing any of the demeanor of the Wu Mansion's usual butler.
"Master, Master." Wu Faming shouted anxiously.
Wu Daoyi sat on the chair and sighed, "What's wrong? Daming, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you've been the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion for so many years, why are you still so flustered?
How can I trust you to manage the palace in the future?"
Wu Daming was stunned and complained in his heart, Master, although I am very happy that you appreciate me, but isn't the person in charge of the imperial palace the Grand Chamberlain?
My family has been a single-son family for three generations, and they are counting on me to have children!
After Wu Daming finished complaining in his mind, he remembered the important business again. He took out the token and jade pendant and handed them to Wu Daoyi.
"Master, look what this is."
Wu Daoyi frowned as he took the jade pendant and token, which were still wet with rain. After examining them carefully, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Where did you find this?"
Wu Daming pointed in the direction of the gate of the Wu Mansion and said, "Master, these were found on the body at the gate."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Daoyi was excited. "Quick, change into your official uniform. I want to enter the palace. With these two decisive pieces of evidence, we can solve the problem of that little bastard Lei Tingjun!"
Wu Daming quickly grabbed the excited Wu Daoyi and said, "Master, don't be anxious. Just listen to what I have to say."
Wu Daoyi frowned, "Daming, why are you so fussy? Come on, is there anything else you haven't said?"
Looking at the excitement on Wu Daoyi's face, Wu Daming could only smile awkwardly and revealed the identity of the corpse outside the gate.
"Master, I haven't told you who those bodies are. They are all your people, the spies you sent out of the capital."
After hearing this, Wu Daoyi, who was originally very happy, suddenly changed his expression. He asked in disbelief, "Who are you talking about? The spy I sent out? Wu Suowei is also in there?"
Wu Daming nodded stiffly, "Yes, not just him, all the spies are dead, and they were lined up in front of our house."
Wu Daoyi picked up the cup on the table and smashed it to the ground. He cursed, "Okay, very good, Huo Tingjun, I want you to die!"
Wu Daming was still somewhat rational. He asked hesitantly, "Master, could this be a deliberate frame-up by someone else? They want to stir up a conflict between us and Lei Tingjun so that they can reap the benefits."
Wu Daoyi fell into deep thought, and after a while he said, "It's not impossible, but this jade pendant is a token of every prince, and they all keep it close to their bodies, so how could it be taken away so easily?"
Wu Daming also felt that Wu Daoyi's analysis made sense, so he agreed.
"You're right. I think I was overthinking it. If Lei Tingjun hadn't brought someone with him personally, this kind of token wouldn't have appeared in the hands of the corpse.
So, Lei Tingjun's leg injury is also fake? Patriarch, we have all been deceived by him."
Wu Daoyi's face wasn't looking good either. He originally wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two princes, but he didn't expect to be tricked again.
"Daming, go to Deyi Tower and issue a mission. If they help me kill Lei Tingjun, I will give them ten thousand taels of gold."
Wu Daming responded respectfully and then left quickly.
Xu Jinhuan, who had been watching the show silently, blinked his eyes. It turned out that Wu Daoyi had not yet discovered that his own secret fund was gone?
