Chapter 349 Lu Huai's Plan
Yun Feng felt pain, but he took the blow. He didn't make a sound because he was afraid of being exposed.
He grabbed the table leg, thinking it would take some effort to get it over with, but as soon as he pulled it out, the leg fell into his hand.
He was stunned, but had no time to think about it. He just thought that there was someone lying in ambush inside, guarding Lin Zhiqing and the others, so he turned around and swung the table leg at the person who had just hit him.
As he moved, the moonlight behind him poured in and flashed across Lin Zhiqing's face.
Lin Zhiqing also saw Yun Feng's face clearly with the help of the moonlight.
Yun Feng quickly stopped what he was doing and asked, "Miss Zhiqing, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but my cousin is not so well." Lin Zhiqing said as he pulled Lin Yangyang over.
Yun Feng saw beads of sweat on Lin Yangyang's face and her hands were swollen. He then looked at the chains on her hands and immediately understood what was going on. He hurriedly said:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Lin Zhiqing stared at him for a moment, but didn't say much:
"Where are the Jiang family members? How did you get in?"
Yun Feng knew that Lin Zhiqing was still wary of him, so he spoke quickly:
"It's quite lively outside. Master Shi'an and my master are dealing with the Jiang family."
"During the day, my young master received an order to search for the imperial gift, so he went door to door to investigate."
"After he rescued Master Shi'an, he came to rescue you at Master Shi'an's request."
"But he can't leave now, so I have to come."
Lin Zhiqing frowned, knowing that now was not the time to delve into those things. She supported Lin Yangyang and walked out.
"Yunfeng, you lead the way." Lin Zhiqing gave the order quickly.
"Miss Lin, are you okay? If you can still use lightness skills, let's go to the back door of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. My young master has arranged people to pick us up." Yun Feng asked.
Lin Yangyang twisted her wrist. Although it hurt, it was not unbearable.
"I can, but my arm is injured. If we encounter pursuers, it will be difficult to deal with them alone. You take my sister Qing away first, and I will cover your retreat."
Lin Zhiqing was about to refuse when footsteps were heard outside the laundry room.
Someone is coming!
And judging from the commotion, they must be people from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Yun Feng's expression changed. Without saying anything more, he grabbed Lin Zhiqing's arm and said, "Miss Zhiqing, you don't know martial arts. I'll take you away first."
Lin Zhiqing looked at Lin Yangyang, and when he saw Lin Yangyang nod, he nodded as well.
Yun Feng tiptoed and immediately jumped onto the wall of the laundry room.
Lin Yangyang followed closely behind.
Following them came the guards from the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Three figures quickly shuttled back and forth on the wall.
But neither Lin Zhiqing and others, nor the guards, dared to make any big noise.
At the same time, at the gate of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, Jiang Liuyun felt something in his heart, and he looked towards the courtyard with concern.
"Prince Jiang, what do you think about this?" Lu Huai called him, forcing him to look away.
Jiang Liuyun looked at his father beside him, then at Lin Shian across from him, suppressed his uneasiness, and smiled slightly:
"How could such an absurd thing possibly concern Lord Lu so much? There are indeed some misunderstandings between the Zhenyuan Marquisate and the Lin family, but they were all instigated by treacherous people."
"If Brother Shi'an hadn't shown up tonight, I would have assumed he was still in Yunnan. I had no idea he had been ambushed by a traitor and captured."
"Besides, that traitor's words are inconsistent. Why do you regard him as a member of our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion?"
Lu Huai frowned. "I had no intention of interfering in this matter, but that traitor kept saying that he was ordered by the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion to attack Lin Shi'an, and this matter also involves things in the palace."
"The confession is here, how could it be false?"
After Lu Huai finished speaking, Jiang Yunhe and Jiang Liuyun suddenly felt something was wrong.
But before they could say anything, Lin Shian spoke quickly. He faced the people watching the excitement and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Everyone, I didn't know that the criminals who kidnapped me were related to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. If I hadn't met Lord Lu, I'm afraid my life would be in danger!"
"During the day, I took people to the Dali Temple, hoping to bring the criminals to justice, but the Dali Temple Minister Zhou Chongzheng refused to investigate due to insufficient evidence."
"Without any other choice, I had to return to the place where I was previously imprisoned to try and search for clues. Unexpectedly, I found some key items."
"Among them, the objects in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion are particularly numerous. How can one not be suspicious?"
As he spoke, Lin Shian took out a few things and displayed them one by one in front of everyone:
"This is the soft purple silk that was among the rewards personally prepared by the Ministry of Revenue for the great victory of the Zhenyuan Marquis at Yanyang Pass."
"This is a teacup from the white jade tea set that the Duke of Pei gave to Prince Jiang after he won the first prize in the archery competition at the camp outside the capital."
"This is the ruby dagger my second uncle gave to the Jiang family when Prince Jiang and my sister Zhiqing got engaged."
"Even if the other items cannot be traced, this ruby dagger has always been recorded in the Lin family's records!"
After Lin Shian finished speaking, the people opened their eyes wide and looked at those things excitedly.
"Hey, come and look at this silk! I'm afraid I'll never be able to wear something this fine in my life!"
"Not only in this life, but also in the next life, I won't be able to wear it. No wonder the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion can give out porridge every month. If I had so many good things, let alone monthly, even giving out porridge every day would be nothing."
"Don't be so careless, look at that ruby dagger, it's of such fine quality!"
"How can Wangshu Marquis's things be bad? Previously, Wangshu Marquis received much more rewards than the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."
Hearing these discussions, Jiang Yunhe clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves. He was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger here.
Those things were clearly leaked when he was communicating with the Minister of War.
How could he put these things in the place where Lin Shian was imprisoned? This was clearly... Jiang Yunhe looked at Lu Huai, who was calm and composed, with a sinister flash in his eyes.
He remembered clearly that the Ministry of Revenue had been investigating the Ministry of War.
Apart from Lu Huai, no one else could possibly take out these things.
Moreover, once these things are taken out, they cannot be taken back. There is no doubt that those things belong to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
Lu Huai took out the things now because he was absolutely sure that he could hold the Jiang family accountable.
However, what made Jiang Yunhe feel relieved was that fortunately this incident happened at the gate of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and he still had time to prepare.
If this matter were brought to the Golden Palace, I'm afraid the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion would not be at peace in the near future.
Thinking of this, Zhenyuan Hou took a deep breath and said to everyone:
"Everyone, please be patient, Shi'an. I've watched you grow up since you were little, and we know exactly how much Zhiqing values you."
"I have kept the ruby dagger safely in the warehouse. I will give it to them once Yun'er and Qing are married."
"Now, I don't know why these things appear here. I think there must be a problem within my Jiang family."
His eyes softened. "Everyone knows that some servants are unruly and will resort to dirty tricks, stealing things and reselling them."
"I will now thoroughly investigate the Jiang family's servants, return Shi An, and also give justice to our Jiang family!"
