Chapter 56 I think you are going to heaven
For such a serious crime, the Hou family would protect Hou Yuanji, but not these bailiffs.
In order to protect themselves, they will even put all the blame on them.
Wu Fan seemed to see himself being beheaded, and his body shook violently and uncontrollably.
Hou Yuanji cursed the Qi County Magistrate: "Asshole! What a bastard!"
But cursing a few times won't solve the current dilemma.
He turned around with a grim face and walked towards the prison van again.
Along the way, he tried hard to force a smile.
But Hou Yuanji felt in his heart that asking Xie Jingci for help was a humiliation for him.
It's also like stepping on your face under their feet.
The resistance in his heart made the smile on his face twist and tremble.
"...You probably don't want to see the Xie family regain their freedom either."
"You two are going into exile, while they are enjoying a good life outside, without having to endure the wind and sun, or travel long distances. They might even curse you to be killed on the way. Can you accept this?"
Lu Wanyin looked at Hou Yuanji with some surprise.
OK, he is not so stupid anymore. He knows to encourage her to capture the Xie family.
Hou Yuanji felt uncomfortable all over.
He always felt that Lu Wanyin's eyes made him feel like he was being weighed and weighed, and the price was being estimated.
He gripped his cane tightly, his smile sinister: "The Xie family has more cunning minds than a sieve. There's no guarantee they don't have other places to hide their money. The Xie family's money was earned by Xie Jingci with his life. Are you willing to give it away?"
Hou Yuanji's provocation was really superficial and childish.
But what to do?
Lu Wanyin really didn't want the Xie family to live a happy life.
She is the only one who has the final say on whether they live or die.
Lu Wanyin handed the oil-paper bag containing the candied fruit to Liuying, crossed her arms and pondered for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already full of energy: "If you want us to help you catch the person back, it's not impossible."
Hou Yuanji's heart sank.
Every time she smiled at him, it was with ill intentions.
Lu Wanyin held up three jade-white fingers: "Three conditions, if you agree, then we will do our best to help you catch him."
Suddenly, Hou Yuanji felt a chill on his back and couldn't help but hold his crutches tightly.
He has no choice.
"explain."
Lu Wanyin's three fingers swung nimbly: "First, untie our wrist and ankle chains."
If the guards had not been wearing handcuffs and leg shackles, they would not have been injured.
"That's impossible! What kind of exiled prisoner wouldn't wear one..."
Under Lu Wanyin's gaze, Hou Yuanji's voice became smaller and smaller.
Until finally, he fell silent completely.
Anyway, in order to save his life, he had already promised to listen to Lu Wanyin along the way.
He is not admitting defeat, he is keeping his promise!
Xuan Qi came over with a few skewers of grilled fish and said with a smile, "If we want to escape, these junks of yours can't stop us."
Hou Yuanji glanced at the chain on Xuan Qi's wrist.
These iron chains are as thick as four fingers and were specially made by the emperor to deal with them.
How can it be called "junk"?
How can it be "unstoppable"
How could it smell so good?
Hou Yuanji paused.
With difficulty, he shifted his gaze away from the grilled fish.
After calming himself down, he said, "The current official is not as good as the current manager. I will make the decision on my own and agree to this matter."
Lu Wanyin heard something from this sentence and showed disdain: "That dog emperor doesn't even care whether to wear a chain or not. He has more free time than a salted fish."
"How dare you insult the Emperor!"
Hou Yuanji was so frightened that he looked around, fearing that the emperor's eyes and ears might be hiding nearby.
If that spy reports this matter, he will definitely be the target of anger.
Lu Wanyin snorted, "He has the time to deal with trivial matters like this, but he doesn't punish corrupt officials. I'm insulting the dog by calling him a dog emperor."
Hou Yuanji's eyes went dark and he covered his ears tightly.
This woman is truly a lunatic. She is definitely the first person in the world who dares to insult His Majesty like this!
Hou Yuanji muttered to himself like an ostrich: "I didn't hear it! I didn't hear it!"
But maybe it was because the corrupt official Qi County Magistrate was right in front of him, he couldn't help but want to praise him.
Good scolding!
Hou Yuanji himself did not dare to admit that there was a moment when he thought that the emperor was unworthy of his position.
This idea is completely contrary to the idea of loyalty to the emperor that he had been instilled with since childhood.
It's all because of that bad woman Lu Wanyin. She just has the ability to bewitch people!
She was crazy, and it drove him crazy too!
Hou Yuanji urged impatiently, "Tell me what your next request is! If you don't, the Xie family will disappear."
Lu Wanyin's appetite was aroused by the fish in Xuan Qi's hand, and she also wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
"Secondly, write an IOU for another fifty thousand taels."
“This is unacceptable…”
As soon as Hou Yuanji opened his mouth, he felt that the words were too familiar.
He had just said that a while ago.
But his objection was totally ineffective.
Hou Yuanji calmed down, but his face was darker than the bottom of the pot that was thrown aside.
I originally wanted to get promoted with this mission, but now, not only am I almost losing my life, I also owe one hundred thousand taels.
One hundred thousand taels!
If his father knew about this, he would definitely break his legs!
Wu Fan was terrified that Hou Yuanji would be confused again, so he came over and whispered, "Sir, please think carefully. If we don't do this job well, His Majesty will not let us off easily."
Hou Yuanji glared at Wu Fan and said, "Do I need you to remind me?"
Wu Fan laughed awkwardly: "I dare not, but think about it, along the way, can you refuse the young lady's request?"
Can't refuse at all!
Hou Yuanji did not want to anger His Majesty because of this matter.
One hundred thousand taels is one hundred thousand taels. As long as he has a future, he won’t have to worry about not being able to pay back the money.
The important thing is to bring the Xie family back.
Hou Yuanji's teeth were almost worn out.
He closed his eyes.
Whatever, every confrontation ends in failure, why is he still insisting on doing this?
He squeezed out a word from between his teeth: "Okay! I'll write it!"
After Lu Wanyin took the grilled fish from Xuan Qi's hand, she blew away the heat and said slowly, "I haven't thought of the third request yet. Keep it for now. When I think of it, I'll mention it to you."
“No, no!”
Hou Yuanji suddenly became sensitive again and strongly opposed it.
"Just the two requests you made are enough to bully us on this road. And the last request is like asking God to give you what you want. Tell me now. If I don't explain clearly, I'm afraid you'll sell me out."
With Lu Wanyin's personality, she can do it!
Wu Fan was relieved that his commander had finally grown his brain.
Lu Wanyin nodded seriously, as if she had been reminded.
"It's not impossible. If the situation in the wilderness gets too bad, I'll use this request to threaten you to stay with us. With you, the legitimate son of the Hou family, around, I think those local tyrants won't dare to bully us too much."
Hou Yuanji blurted out from the bottom of his heart: "You are a group of cruel and ruthless people, who dares to bully you?"
Receiving Lu Wanyin's cold gaze, Hou Yuanji quickly adjusted his expression back to asking for help.
His voice was filled with pleading: "...I still have a lot of private money, how about I give it all to you?"
