Chapter 209: Lu Ningshuang is captured
"Until when?"
Zhao Shen really didn't expect that he would have a gift.
Ji Yunshu said, "When I returned home, how could I possibly have it with me if I suddenly went out?"
Zhao Shen thought about it and couldn't help but feel excited.
This carriage was indeed much better than the previous one. Even on the road outside the city, it was very stable. Ji Yunshu leaned in Zhao Shen's arms and fell asleep unknowingly.
When she woke up, she had already arrived.
It was the farm where Zhao Shen had brought her before.
Shen Qin welcomed them in and said, "The house has been cleaned up, and the charcoal fire has been lit long ago. It's very warm."
When Ji Yunshu heard him say this, he knew that it was Zhao Shen who had instructed him in advance.
When we got back to the house, he asked, "Have you been planning to come here for a long time?"
She thought the other party was just in a spur of the moment situation.
Zhao Shen said, "Although we didn't capture anyone important on New Year's Eve, we didn't achieve nothing. Furthermore, not everyone is willing to face death head-on and commit suicide upon being captured. Under torture, those people revealed quite a bit. Many families had a difficult New Year."
"You brought me here on purpose to avoid leisure. Does the Emperor agree?"
Although she didn't ask much about it, she knew that Zhao Shen was involved in this matter from beginning to end. He was also the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, so handling these matters was within his duties.
"I'll stay here with you for a few days, and go back if you need anything."
He had always wanted to move out with Ji Yunshu, but he was too busy during that time and had no time.
Ji Yunshu really didn't like staying in the Marquis' Mansion all the time, but after thinking about it, she felt that there was nothing to do at the manor.
"Just stay for a few days. When you come back, we'll go back together."
Zhao Shen nodded and said nothing.
Ji Yunshu felt like he was hiding something from her, but since he didn't say anything, she didn't bother to ask.
After lunch, Zhao Shen went to deal with some matters on the farm, and she spent the time leaning against the fumigation cage and reading storybooks.
Seeing that she didn't seem to have any intention of going out, Lan Yin said, "You finally came out for a while, why don't you go out for a walk?"
Ji Yunshu glanced outside. Although the weather was fine, the temperature wasn't very high these days. She wasn't interested. "It's quite cold."
Lan Yin smiled and said, "The weather is good today, and there's not much wind. When I first came here, I saw a plum forest outside. The plum blossoms are in full bloom, but they will be gone in a few days. Let's go take a look."
Ji Yunshu fixed his gaze on the notebook in his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then let's go and take a look."
The sun was shining outside and it was a warm day. Ji Yunshu was wearing a thick fox fur cloak and was not cold at all.
The plum forest that Lan Yin mentioned was not far from the village. It didn't take long to get there. The trees were full of blooming red plums, which was indeed a breathtaking sight.
This area is full of manors of the powerful and wealthy, but nowadays not many people come to live on the manors, so there are almost no people around.
Lan Yin smiled and said, "Madam has always liked quietness. This place should suit your taste."
Ji Yunshu was standing under a plum tree, looking up. Upon hearing this, he said calmly, "It's quiet. There's no one around. It's a good time to do something."
Lan Yin was stunned: "Do something?"
Ji Yunshu tilted his head to look at her: "You went to so much trouble to get me out, isn't it to do something?"
Lan Yin moved her mouth and wanted to say something, but Ji Yunshu had already said to the other side of Merlin: "Now that you're here, why don't you come out?"
The next moment, a person slowly walked out of Merlin.
Ji Yunshu said without any surprise: "Lu Ningshuang, it is indeed you."
Lu Ningshuang is very different from before. She used to be a standard lady from a noble family, with elegant and polite manners.
Now she was wearing men's clothes. If it weren't for that face, Ji Yunshu would hardly recognize her.
She looked at Ji Yunshu calmly and said, "From what you said, could it be that you knew I would come to you?"
"You hate me so much, and you exposed so many people's setup but didn't destroy me. How could you be willing to just walk away like this?"
Lu Ningshuang sneered, "I'm unwilling to accept that the good situation I've worked so hard for so many years has been destroyed by your hands. But it doesn't matter. Aren't you in my hands now?"
Ji Yunshu kept staring at her and noticed that although her tone was complacent, there was no complacency on her face.
"Where's Lan Yin?"
Thinking of Lu Ningshuang's previous behavior, knowing that she could do anything when she went crazy, Ji Yunshu didn't want to say anything to provoke her, so he turned to ask.
From the moment someone kept urging her to come out, she knew it wasn't Lan Yin.
Because Lan Yin has never been a meddlesome person.
"It's okay to tell you, I've locked up that maid. If you want her to live, you'd better be obedient."
Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was still alive.
She was not worried that Lu Ningshuang would tell lies.
Lu Ningshuang is inherently proud, and now that she is sure of victory, she disdains to lie.
She laughed and said, "What makes you think I would listen to you obediently for a maid?"
Lu Ningshuang sneered: "It doesn't matter, you can't escape today anyway."
She obviously understood that villains die because they talk too much, and while she was speaking, she had already rushed towards Ji Yunshu.
Although Ji Yunshu had never seen her in action before, he had always suspected that she might know kung fu.
But I didn't expect her kung fu to be so high.
In just the blink of an eye, the person appeared in front of him.
Seeing Ji Yunshu seemed to be frightened and stood there motionless.
A smile flashed across Lu Ningshuang's lips, but soon her smile froze at the corner of her mouth.
"How... could you?"
An arrow pierced his chest and lodged itself in the tree trunk behind him.
A bloody hole appeared on Lu Ningshuang's chest, and bright red blood gushed out. She staggered forward and tried to grab Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu shot an arrow, and seeing that Lu Ningshuang was advancing instead of retreating, she was about to attack when she was suddenly pulled back and fell into someone's arms.
When she looked up, she saw Zhao Shen holding her in his arms while slapping Lu Ningshuang.
Lu Ningshuang immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.
And the people who came with her were also dealt with by Shen Qin and his men.
Some of them, unable to resist, committed suicide easily.
But they also caught a few alive.
Ji Yunshu thought that the diehard fans might be almost all dead.
The woman pretending to be Lan Yin was also arrested.
Ji Yunshu was about to ask where Lan Yin was when he saw Lu Ningshuang covering her bleeding wound. She stared at Zhao Shen, who was holding her tightly in his arms, and asked, "How could you do this to me?"
Zhao Shen said to Shen Qin expressionlessly, "Take her back and lock her up."
Shen Qin was a little embarrassed: "Her injury?"
He could see that Zhao Shen showed no mercy and the blow was so heavy that it only left the man with a breath.
Not to mention that Lu Ningshuang was hit by an arrow.
This injury is a bit troublesome.
They were hoping to get something out of this woman.
Zhao Shen said calmly, "Let someone treat her. As long as she doesn't die, that's fine."
As for whether Lu Ningshuang herself would commit suicide, Zhao Shen was not worried.
Only the people below them would not take their lives seriously. People like Lu Ningshuang would never be willing to die.
