Chapter 43
He was a outsider and could not enter a woman's boudoir without permission, but he knew there was a window that connected to the inner room, so he walked over and raised his hand to gently knock on the window frame.
The next moment, Jiang Zhaoli pushed the window open a crack, and she sat in front of the table on the window. When she saw it was him, she was stunned and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Song?"
I haven't seen her for a few days and I didn't expect her to look so haggard.
Only then did Song Tisi realize that she had been sitting by the window in a daze and had not rested at all.
Thinking of this, he frowned. She had just started to feel ill, but why did she get off the bed? Through the gap, he could vaguely see the neatly arranged and uneaten food on the Eight Immortals Table. He couldn't help but remind her, "Second Miss Jiang, it's time for you to eat."
Seeing that she was unmoved and just glanced at him lazily, he lowered his head again and stared at a book on the table.
Song Tisi suppressed his reluctance and had to threaten the prisoner, saying: "If Miss Jiang Er refuses to eat, it will embarrass us. So, I will have someone send a new dish every other cup of tea, and each time it will be different. If the kitchen staff can't make it, we will collect it from the public. Repeat this cycle. I believe there will always be something Miss Jiang Er will like."
Jiang Zhaoli was stunned and looked up at him in disbelief. Looking at his expression, he didn't seem to be joking. She was surprised. Their Criminal Department was only responsible for guarding and examining prisoners. Did they care whether the prisoners ate or not?
There are so many refugees outside, and his action will undoubtedly put her in the spotlight. Is all this just to give her food?
Jiang Zhaoli calmed herself down and decided that if that was the case, she would just eat it. There was no need to waste food in a fight.
Because she was sick and in a bad mood, she really had no appetite. She was also afraid that he would really ask the kitchen staff to cook all the time, so she gritted her teeth and forced herself to eat a little.
Seeing her eating, Song Tisi's face looked better. He put his hand on the window frame and planned to close it: "Miss Jiang Er, please take good rest. Your relatives are worried about you. If you have any questions, please let me know at any time."
After saying this, he returned to the Ministry of Transport. Before leaving, he instructed the guards to keep a good look after the person.
—
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhaoli finished taking a bath, changed his clothes and was about to rest when suddenly a cold wind blew and the window frame made two noises. Jiang Zhaoli turned his head and saw that the window frame had been opened without him noticing.
She remembered that Song Tisi had never opened the door since he closed it today, so it couldn't be blown open by the wind.
She walked over to find out what was going on, but suddenly found several people sitting in the hall. She froze, realizing that something was wrong. While they were not reacting, she suddenly stood up and ran out, but one of them pulled out a dagger and put it to her neck. She paused, stared at him, and clenched her hands in her sleeves.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"I am from Fujian, Chu Yun." The woman was wearing a dazzling purple silk dress with a cowhide rope wrapped around her waist. Her black hair was tied up high, with a peony flower ornament on her forehead. Her eyes were sharp and charming.
She sat upright, her voice soft and charming, her thin and long eyebrows swept back and forth over her body, and she smiled softly with her lips covered: "Are you Miss Jiang Er?"
"A woman who has bewitched Ah Su so much that he would betray his master?"
"Miss Jiang Er, we've met before." Ruo Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips, but his eyes were unusually calm, like a cunning person who was controlling the overall situation from behind.
When he could no longer see her, Ruo Huai's eyes became increasingly gloomy as he looked at her. He had originally planned to throw the dirty water of the defense map on the Jiang Mansion, but City Lord Luo was not fooled and insisted on waiting until Yin Su was caught back before making plans.
Yin Su was too careless. He actually left his clothes in Luo's house, which gave him an opportunity to be caught.
It was hard for him not to suspect that Yin Su and Miss Jiang Er had colluded to deceive them.
He sent someone to distract the guards, and only then was he able to get in.
"I... I am Zou Yuan." Zou Yuan lowered his head in shame, his arms hanging limply at his sides, not daring to look into her eyes.
He...does their action count as taking advantage of someone's misfortune? If Ah Su knew, then he...
But he was also forced.
Jiang Zhaoli stared at the few people warily. They were able to dodge the heavy guards and come into her room without being discovered by anyone, which showed how skilled they were.
I just heard from that person that they are from the same group as Yin Su, so their kung fu must be extremely high.
"Don't be afraid, we are just here to ask you for a person." Chu Yun gently stroked the beautiful Dan Kou and spoke to her with a smile. He seemed harmless, but in fact he contained murderous intent.
"Where is Yin Su?" Ruo Huai asked straight to the point.
Jiang Zhaoli shook his head, looked back at him, and said coldly: "I don't know."
Seeing her answer so decisively, Chu Yun was stunned. It seemed that this Second Miss Jiang was not someone who could be easily fooled. She would not tell anything just by being frightened. She was braver than other girls and was not afraid when she met them.
Chu Yun: "Time is limited, why not hypnotize her and ask her about Ah Su's whereabouts, so that she won't scream and be discovered later."
Zou Yuan shook his head: "No."
Chu Yun glanced at him sinisterly: "Why not."
Zou Yuan rolled his eyes, feeling more and more guilty as he spoke: "Because... because I didn't bring any medicine."
Hypnosis? Jiang Zhaoli was shocked. It seemed that what Yin Su had told him at the beginning about the hypnosis method in the world was true, and it was created by this group of people.
On the wedding day, Wen Qiu Shui's temperament suddenly changed and he admitted his crime in front of everyone. I'm afraid he was manipulated by them.
As well as several managers in the prison, after assassinating Yin Su, for some reason, they could not explain themselves until they were in prison, but it was too late.
If Yin Su had not pretended to tell her about his crimes later, she was afraid that she would never go to the prison to see those managers to learn the truth unless the truth was pushed in front of her.
Therefore, from recruiting a son-in-law to entering the mansion to gaining her trust, and finally to leaving, all were his step-by-step plans. Thinking of this, Jiang Zhaoli sneered and felt pain in his chest.
Ruo Huai narrowed his eyes and said, "We are talking to you nicely. Miss Jiang Er, please don't refuse a toast. If you protect him like this, you will end up in trouble."
"Do you want to involve the Jiang family? The Jiang family has more than just your life."
Jiang Zhaoli clenched his palms and sneered, "He hurt me so badly, why should I protect him? If I knew where he was, I would be the first to hand him over to the Ministry of Justice to avenge my Jiang family."
Hearing her say this, Zou Yuan couldn't help but frown, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.
"Miss Jiang Er is so cruel. If Ah Su knew what you said, he would be very sad." Chu Yun shook his head and sighed.
"A Su is the most incapable person to be moved by emotions, but he fell in love with you. It shows that you are smart. Why don't you come back to Min Kingdom with me..."
Yin Su has an unstable temper and his master says he is difficult to control. It would be good for him to bring this girl back to threaten Yin Su, so that he won't contradict his master and lose his life one day. With this girl around, he can be more careful in what he says and does.
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Zhaoli interrupted her coldly: "Don't even think about it." Even if she died, she would not leave Luocheng, let alone go to the tiny country of Min.
She looked at the few people and said calmly, "It's easy for you to come in, but it's hard to say if you want to take someone out. If you are discovered, none of you will be able to escape. I guess you won't do such a business that will cost you lives, right?"
"Then I might as well kill you." Chu Yun's eyes changed, and he suddenly moved closer to her, stretched out his hand to pinch her slender neck, and threatened her sinisterly.
Jiang Zhaoli felt a pain in her neck and her face turned red instantly. She endured the discomfort in her throat and stared at the few people with her beautiful eyes calmly and confidently, with stubbornness in her eyes.
Suddenly, the taste of blood hit my throat again.
Zou Yuan was so anxious that he kept spinning around. Finally, he seemed to have figured something out. He suddenly stepped forward and pulled her behind him. He stiffened his neck and looked at Chu Yun, but his tone was trembling slightly as he spoke: "You can't kill her."
After Jiang Zhaoli inhaled the cold air, her face suddenly froze and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Then she couldn't help squatting on the ground and coughing loudly. Her face turned pale and looked thinner.
Chu Yun tilted his head, puzzled: "Why can't I kill her?" His eyes seemed to say, if you don't give me a convincing reason, you will suffer for her.
Zou Yuan couldn't think of a reason for a moment, and was so anxious that he broke out in a cold sweat: "She...she is still useful."
Chu Yun snorted coldly and glanced at him: "It is because she is useful that I want to kill her. Only when she dies will Yin Su appear obediently, and we can report to the master."
Ruo Huai glanced at Zou Yuan coldly. He knew exactly what Zou Yuan was planning. He and Yin Su were of the same mind. This move was undoubtedly to protect the second Miss Jiang. So, he winked at Chu Yun: "Don't listen to him. He is stalling for time. Zou Yuan, I will deal with you when we return to Min."
The second sentence is full of warning.
Chu Yun reached out to Jiang Zhaoli again, and the moment he touched her, suddenly, a stone broke through the window, hit Chu Yun's hand, bounced to the ground, and rolled under the table.
She felt a pang of pain and was annoyed. Who was so blind as to ruin her good fortune? She walked two or three steps to the window frame, stared at the small round hole on the window vigilantly, gestured with her index finger, and narrowed her eyes.
At the same time, Zou Yuan kicked over a stool on the side, making a loud noise.
Ruohuai was startled, but before he could take any action, the next moment, chaotic footsteps were heard in the yard and the door was suddenly pushed open.
The leader was Chun Tao. When she saw the scene, she screamed and shouted behind her: "Come quickly, there is an assassin, come and catch the assassin."
Seeing Chu Yun rushing forward to kill her again, Chun Tao rushed in with all her might to push Chu Yun away. Chu Yun sneered, said "you are overestimating yourself", and kicked Chun Tao in the chest. She bounced out instantly and fell to the ground.
"Chun Tao."
Ruo Huai was shocked, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He could not watch Yin Su betray his master for a woman and become estranged from them. This woman must be killed. Thinking of this, he shouted at Chu Yun: "I will hold the person at the door, and you kill her as soon as possible."
Chu Yun nodded and suddenly pulled out the leather rope from his waist, trying to tie Jiang Zhaoli up, but Zou Yuan suddenly hugged Chu Yun's legs and shook his head desperately: "I really can't kill him."
Seeing this, Jiang Zhaoli immediately bent his body and ran towards Chuntao.
Chu Yun kicked Zou Yuan away and shouted, "I shouldn't have brought you here today."
There were many guards, and Ruo Huai could not stop them alone. Gradually, he found it difficult. Seeing this, several people began to defend and retreat, forming a circle, raising their knives to face the approaching guards.
The few of them looked at each other. Ruo Huai came to cover them, while Chu Yun and Zou Yuan escaped by jumping out of the window first.
There were people hiding under the windows. When they saw them jumping out of the window, they swarmed over and tried to catch them. Chu Yun sneered when he saw this, and immediately took out white powder from his sleeve and sprinkled it on them.
The figure disappeared in a flash.
After Ruo Huai and his group escaped, Minister Song immediately blocked the city gates and checked one by one, asking the people in the city to provide clues. The more clues they had, the higher the price would be, up to a maximum reward of 100 taels of silver.
At Zou Ji Medical Clinic, Ruo Huai and the others glanced around cautiously. Seeing that there were no pursuers approaching, they breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't be afraid. When the refugees enter the city in the next few days, we will take the opportunity to sneak in, seize the Luo Mansion, and hold City Lord Luo hostage."
Ruo Huai narrowed her eyes and looked at Zou Yuan with an expression that was not very good: "Did you deliberately try to save Miss Jiang Er just now?"
"Also, you have always been on the same page with Yin Su, so you really don't know where he went?"
Seeing Ruo's suspicion towards him, Zou Yuan quickly shook his head, his face full of fear. He is timid, don't scare him: "No... No, I am a person who is more compassionate to women. I just think it's a pity for such a beautiful woman to die."
"I really didn't know about Yin Su's affairs. I was just like you. I only realized I was fooled after the flower banquet. If I really supported Yin Su, I would have left with him long ago. Why do I have to obey the master's orders now?"
Help! Why should he stay with Ruo Huai, this smiling tiger, and Chu Yun, this crazy woman who loves to torture people? If they knew he did it on purpose, they would torture him to death.
He absolutely could not admit it, not even if he was beaten to death. If he admitted it, he would really die.
Chu Yun glanced at him, stretched out her long and beautiful five fingers and waved them in front of him, and spoke coquettishly, but her tone was extremely sinister and vicious, which made people shudder: "Really? She is prettier than me?"
Zou Yuan swallowed his saliva: "Of course I can't compare to you."
Chu Yun looked like she was being tactful. She retracted her five fingers, sat down at the table, and began to analyze the current situation: "The people of Luo City are smart. They will find out about this soon. We need to find a new place to live. We can't go to Jiang Mansion for the time being. After this incident, they must have stepped up their defenses."
Ruo Huai snorted coldly: "Of course, but I don't trust this kid. I'm afraid he will betray us."
Chu Yun sneered and glanced at Zou Yuan coldly: "He is the worst martial artist among us. What can he do?"
Seeing that Ruohuai stopped asking questions, Zou Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and cursed Yin Su eight hundred times in his heart. He had harmed him so badly, but he got away with it and had a powerful family. As for him, not only did he have to suffer threats and intimidation, but he also had to prevent Ruohuai from finding out that he was on Yin Su's side and taking his life. This deal was really not worth it.
There was no way. Yin Su had always only given orders, and the word "negotiate" had never entered his mind.
At this moment, an informant risked his life to pass on the message, and the master asked them to return to Min as soon as possible to discuss countermeasures.
The master said that she had contacted Yin Su, who had now gone to Yuncheng and was approaching the Lord of Yuncheng. The stolen defense map had also been sent back to Min.
When they heard this, they looked at each other in bewilderment.
