Chapter 236: Will you leave or will I leave?
After a long silence, Wei Jingchen finally spoke: "She's very curious about my scars."
"A scar? Was it discovered when you were injured in Suzhou last time?"
Lu Xun was somewhat surprised.
"But what's so special about that? Anyone can get hurt."
How did she know the name Wei Junyan?
Today, when Wei Jingchen was watching over Yun Zhao, she was burning with fever.
In a daze, I don't know what I shouted.
He listened intently and heard three words.
Wei Junyan!
Upon waking up, she became very interested in her scars.
This scar certainly wasn't caused by a fall at a temple fair.
That was the knife wound left on his forehead by the assassins when the Loulan royal palace was massacred.
As soon as he closed his eyes, he could hear screams and the piercing sounds of swords and blades echoing throughout the mansion.
He crawled out from the pile of corpses; the entire lineage of the Loulan royal family had long been slaughtered.
In the years since becoming a member of the Wei family, he has brought back the scattered former members of the Prince's Mansion to his command.
Using the secret guards of Tingyu Pavilion whom his mother had previously kept, he secretly formed a Jianghu organization.
They investigated the case from back then through various business dealings.
Recently, things have finally started to look promising.
Unexpectedly, the Wei family was implicated and exiled.
He walked on thin ice, completely baffled as to why his name would appear in the mouths of Ling Xuerou and Yun Zhao.
Seeing the young master's conflicted expression, Lu Xun finally spoke: "Young master,"
Ling Xuerou was the first to be brought back to the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, while Miss Yun Zhao stayed there for three days.
She was even forced to kneel. Could it be that the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence knew about this, which is how Miss Yun Zhao heard about it?
Having spent these past few days with her, I feel that Miss Yun Zhao is no ordinary child.
She was an upright and kind person, and her subordinates felt that even if she really knew the young master's identity,
We will never use this to blackmail you, nor will we do anything detrimental to our young master!
Wei Jingchen looked up at him and couldn't help but smile, "You seem to have a very good impression of her."
Lu Xun chuckled.
And you're talking about him? Aren't you the same?
Lu Xun just didn't dare to say it.
Wei Jingchen knew, of course, that Yun Zhao would not harm him.
But this matter is too strange and must be investigated.
"Any news from the Ling family?"
"Young Master Luo has sent word that the Ling family has reportedly provided some information to the Fifth Prince."
Only then was the Fifth Prince able to extricate himself from Yangling Prefecture in time, and Marquis Cheng'an personally went to investigate the medicinal herb case in Yangling Prefecture.
All fingers were pointed at the prefect of Yangling Prefecture, while the Fifth Prince escaped safely.
"The Ling family themselves have been exiled, so where would he get information from to provide to the Fifth Prince?"
Wei Jingchen felt that the Ling family was really strange.
"Young Master Luo didn't say."
"Write a letter to your third brother, in the name of Tingyu Pavilion."
Make contact with the Qi and Ling families; the Ling family's act of sending a message to the Shadow will definitely involve the Qi family behind it.
"If there's money to be made, I believe the Qi and Ling families won't let it go."
"yes!"
After agreeing, Lu Xun confirmed that no one was outside and then climbed out of Wei Jingchen's room through the window.
The exiled troops stayed in Guanzhou for a few more days and uncovered many traitors from the Guanzhou government office.
Even within Guanzhou City, there are many wealthy merchants who are associated with the Hu family.
He Chuan was now in a real bind.
Upon hearing this news, Luo Qing finally couldn't help but take his leave.
"Lord He, we belong to the Dali Temple. The exile team has arrived, and it's time for me to go back and report!"
Even though Guanzhou is very busy right now, He Chuan really has no reason to detain the people from Dali Temple.
Moreover, the officials from the Dali Temple do not come to Guanzhou very often.
The Hu family has no need to collude with these small fry.
He Chuan affixed his official seal and returned the document.
"As you all know, Guanzhou is currently investigating an internal traitor."
The city gates will only open while I am in office. Would you all like to leave the city today?
He Chuan practically said, "Either leave now, or don't leave at all."
"Of course, if it's convenient for you, sir."
Luo Qing wished he could leave the city right now.
He Chuan nodded slightly and personally escorted them out of the city.
Once Yun Zhao felt a bit better, he rode the tiger out for a stroll.
Arriving near the government office, they watched Luo Hao and his group emerge from inside, which puzzled them.
"Where is Brother Luo Hao going?"
Luo Hao and Yun Zhao had been getting along well these days, so he naturally knew that she was sick.
He looked her up and down, and seeing that she seemed to be in better spirits, he smiled and said, "We're leaving the city today to return to the capital to report back. Are you feeling better?"
"Hmm, I'm feeling much better. I brought Huahua out for a walk~ Are you leaving now?"
She tilted her head to look behind Luo Hao; almost all the officials she recognized were there.
"Yes, we can only leave the city if Lord He is here."
"Let's go together then~"
Yun Zhao patted the tiger's back, intending to leave with them.
"Sure!"
Luo Hao walked beside her with a smile.
Now that he's no longer the official in charge of escorting them, he can also tease the little girl.
"Brother Luo Hao, what will you do after you return to Beijing?"
Yun Zhao asked, feigning curiosity.
"Reporting back, take a leave of absence, then wait for the next escort of exiles."
Or he would do hard and tiring work at the Dali Temple; it was basically the same every time.
Luo Hao shrugged.
The escorting officials had little chance of making a name for themselves; it was dangerous and tiring, so very few wanted to do it.
Originally, I was thinking of currying favor with the Gao family so that I could be transferred to a regular position when I returned to Beijing.
Now things have gotten worse. The higher-ups wanted to assassinate the Gao family, but not only did they fail, they also fell out with the Gao family.
His biggest worry right now is that the higher-ups might be concerned that the Gao family has told them some secrets.
If the Qi family wanted to, crushing those brothers would be as easy as crushing an ant.
Seeing that Luo Hao was pretending to be relaxed, Yun Zhao came up with a plan.
"Brother Luo Hao, do you know the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review?"
"Of course, I'm the boss's boss's boss's boss's boss, but no one knows I'm just a nobody."
Luo Hao chuckled self-deprecatingly, his expression tinged with bitterness.
"I think he must be short-staffed."
Yun Zhao didn't say anything directly, but just grinned at him.
Both Luo Hao and his brother are intelligent, but Luo Hao is more tactful.
Although Luo Qing was cunning, he was not a villain.
He had initially tried to curry favor with the Gao family, but upon learning that they had been abandoned, he did not take advantage of their misfortune and allowed the Gao family to be killed.
Judging from this alone, this guy is still usable.
Luo Hao looked her over, a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
What exactly does this child mean?
The city gates opened, and He Chuan saw the Dali Temple officials out.
Luo Hao subconsciously turned around and saw her sitting on the tiger's back, waving at him with a calm expression.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Qing glanced at his younger brother.
"Brother, do you think we'll survive if we go back?"
Luo Qing paused for a moment, then whispered, "You can't just kill us, can you?"
The worst outcome he imagined was that he would lose even this minor position and have to go back to his hometown.
But after his younger brother said that, Luo Qing began to have doubts.
"Yun Zhao told me that the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review is short-handed."
Luo Hao looked at his older brother.
Upon hearing his mention of it, Luo Qing immediately remembered.
"I remember there was a very young Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review who was a student of the Grand Tutor."
"You mean, Yun Zhao relayed Yun Xuan's message, telling us to go find this Junior Minister?"
Luo Hao was taken aback.
The two brothers exchanged a glance and made a decision in secret.
