Chapter 134 This is His Majesty's running dog
When Lu Wanyin arrived, the battle here was already coming to an end.
She stood on a high place, intending to observe the situation clearly at the first possible moment.
But all he saw was a pile of colorful poisoned corpses and a pile of chopped-up snakes.
"what happens"
Didn't she already deal with those pursuers?
Why is it so horrible here?
Seeing Lu Wanyin's expression, Xie Jingci knew that someone had also gone to Hulukou.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Xuan Qi, go see if you can find out the identities of those people."
Xuan Qi accepted the order and was about to leave when Lu Wanyin stopped him: "No need to go."
Under the two people's puzzled gazes, Lu Wanyin took off a large package from her back as a cover.
"Here, it's all here."
Before anyone could react to what she meant, Lu Wanyin threw the package to the ground.
The tinkling sound made everyone's brows twitch.
Lu Wanyin untied the bag and pointed at the things inside: "Look, can you tell who those people are?"
Xuan Qi looked over and saw that in addition to a pile of silver and banknotes, there were also more than a dozen swords, several jade pendants, jade crowns, and everything else.
Even the thing that served as a wrapping seemed to be a robe stripped off a person.
When Lu Wanyin saw them, she felt that these people did not look like killers, simply because their clothes were too eye-catching.
How can a killer go out on a mission and still wear jade pendants all over his body?
They should be like the group of people from the previous two days, with only a token on them.
It's still a token with no distinctive features that can't be identified at all.
Although she was skeptical, these things looked quite valuable, so she didn't miss any of them and took them all off.
Even if you can't prove your identity, you can still sell it for money.
Xuan Qi looked at Lu Wanyin with a strange expression.
It is indeed true that no grass grows wherever the lady passes.
Lu Wanyin, facing the worshipful gaze, coughed lightly and said, "With so many of us, the expenses will be higher when we arrive in the wilderness, so of course we have to calculate in advance."
The guards inexplicably felt a little ashamed.
It's all because of their incompetence that the lady has been worrying so much.
As soon as Lu Wanyin opened the package, Xie Jingci had already scanned it.
He dug out a jade pendant from a pile of things on the ground, and then took out a sword: "It should be someone from the Wang family."
Lu Wanyin came to Xie Jingci and looked at the jade pendant and sword together: "Wang family, what is their background?"
Xie Jingci didn't answer, but looked off into the distance, where Hou Yuanji was still staring blankly at the dead snakes lying on the ground. "Hou Yuanji."
"ah"
Hou Yuanji responded, and after realizing what was happening, he became nervous: "Do, what do you want to do?"
Xie Jingci didn't bother to pay attention to him and looked at Lu Wanyin: "Speaking of the Wang family, no one should know more about it than him."
Lu Wanyin understood and waved to Hou Yuanji: "Come here."
Hou Yuanji came over, tumbling and crawling, wiping his sweat. "Just tell me if you have anything to say. No need to be polite. Hehe, hehe."
Lu Wanyin raised the jade pendant in her hand and said, "Tell me about the Wang family."
Hou Yuanji only then noticed the jade pendant in her hand, and his eyes widened instantly: "Isn't this Wang Yujie's thing?"
Wang Yujie
Another unfamiliar name.
Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows: "How did you know?"
Hou Yuanji was already beaming, unable to suppress his smile. He excitedly pointed to Lu Wanyin and said, "Look, it's all written here."
Lu Wanyin looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a line of exquisite small characters engraved on the lower right corner of the jade pendant -
Congratulations to my grandson Jie on his twelfth birthday.
Hou Yuanji pointed at the sword again and said, "It's here too."
Lu Wanyin turned the sword over, and sure enough, she saw a line of small characters engraved on the hilt:
Congratulations to my grandson Jie on his sixteenth birthday.
"The Wang family loves to do these empty things. They're greedy for money but still want to put on a facade, claiming to be honest and upright. If they were truly honest, they wouldn't make so much of a fuss."
When it comes to the Wang family, Hou Yuanji seems to have endless things to say.
"...The Wang family has so many descendants, and every time there's a birthday, they have to hold a grand banquet to entertain guests. Isn't it just to gain benefits through birthday gifts?"
After he said that, Lu Wanyin seemed to have some impression.
I remember there was actually a family of high-ranking officials who loved to hold birthday parties.
The Minister of Justice seems to be named Wang.
Whenever the Minister of Justice is mentioned, everyone mentions his integrity and honesty.
Lu Wanyin had a low status in her first life and had no access to these things, so naturally, since everyone else said so, she believed it.
I just didn't expect that he also had a dark heart.
Hou Yuanji didn't notice Lu Wanyin's distraction. "Wang Yujie is now the deputy commander of the Yulin Guard. He looks down on the commander and doesn't get along well with us Imperial Guards. He acts like a big shot in front of me all day long, mocking me for relying on my family connections to get to where I am now."
Hou Yuanji became more and more angry as he spoke: "How dare he say that to me? If it weren't for his brother Wang Fugui, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position now. No one would—"
Lu Wanyin suddenly interrupted him: "What did you say his brother's name was?"
Hou Yuanji looked bewildered: "Wang Fugui! Who doesn't want royal power and wealth? But power is something that will easily arouse the suspicion of His Majesty..."
Realizing that he had said something he shouldn't have, he immediately shut up and looked at Xie Jingci cautiously.
Seeing that Xie Jingci was just looking at the bundle in deep thought, and didn't seem to notice what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that everyone knows it, but they just don't say it out loud."
Lu Wanyin's mouth twitched: "Well, this name is very good."
Hou Yuanji was anxious, fearing that Lu Wanyin might have some feelings towards the Wang family.
This lady is so scary. If she stands on the side of the Wang family, the Hou family will have no choice but to pack up and run away overnight.
"He has a nice name, but he's a very bad person. Don't be fooled by his nice name."
Lu Wanyin waved her hand: "Go on."
Hou Yuanji's mind stirred, and he organized his words: "The Wang family is in charge of the Ministry of Justice and has always stood on Your Majesty's side. Over the years, they have helped Your Majesty to find out many family secrets through torture. They are highly valued by Your Majesty, and He often assigns the Wang family to do some shady things."
He intentionally or unintentionally exaggerated the relationship between the Wang family and the emperor.
The emperor and the Xie family have reached such a point that it is no exaggeration to say that they are mortal enemies.
In this way, Lu Wanyin would definitely not have any good feelings towards the Wang family.
If Hou Yuanji knew that someone from the Wang family had been ordered to kill Xie Jingci and had died at the hands of Lu Wanyin, he would probably get two boxes of firecrackers and set them off for a whole day and night.
Compared with this lady, the Wang family is still good.
Hou Yuanji didn't know this, he was just curious about where she got these things from.
Lu Wanyin got a general idea and was about to let him go.
Xie Jingci, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up and said, "Master Hou, do you know where these things came from?"
Of course Hou Yuanji wanted to know, but he couldn't admit it: "I dare not ask more."
"If you want to know, it's okay to tell you."
Xie Jingci didn't care what he answered: "The Wang family brought people to hunt us down, and Madam dealt with them, and that's how we got these things."
Tell him what these are for
Lu Wanyin felt strange, but did not stop him.
"Really?"
Hou Yuanji had a look on his face as if he had been hit by a pie: "It's just so... hateful."
He really wanted to say that was great, but he was afraid that if he showed too much excitement, these two would notice him.
