Jiang Yuzhu had a sad expression on her face, tears welling in her eyes. She was about to shed tears, but when she remembered that she and her cousin, the Plague God, were both blindfolded and couldn't see each other's expressions, she immediately restrained her expression.
The purple-clothed man said that there is a choice between two options, and only one can survive. Is there such a good thing?
If that's the case, there's no need to choose at all, Jiang Yuzhu already has the answer in her mind.
The purple-robed man waited for a long while without a word, then asked disdainfully, "Jiang Yuzhu, why aren't you saying anything? Are you trying to live a life of shameless defiance?"
The purple-robed man's words were blunt and harsh. Jiang Yuzhu asked with a look of surprise, "Do you keep your word? If not, why should I answer your questions?"
"It counts."
After a long silence, the man in purple gritted his teeth and said.
He definitely wouldn't kill Jiang Yuzhu. As for the decision made by his employer behind the scenes, it had nothing to do with him.
Making a promise in this way does not count as breaking a promise.
"That……"
Jiang Yuzhu sighed heavily, her eyelashes trembling. After waiting for a long moment, she muttered, "Hero, I have another request."
The purple-clothed man didn't move his eyelids, and said in a flat voice, "Speak."
It seems that Jiang Yuzhu also chose to die and leave the chance of life to her scholar cousin. This kind of drama can only be seen in a drama troupe, and there is no need to pay to watch it. The man in purple is very interested and listens with his ears perked up waiting for the answer.
"Please, please give my cousin a quick death!"
Jiang Yuzhu seemed to have used up all her strength and choked out sobs.
"Death ends all suffering, and all the longing, self-blame, and guilt will be borne by the survivors. I've already let my cousin down, and I will never let him suffer again!"
The purple-robed man looked Jiang Yuzhu in the eye for the first time, bowed, and sarcastically said, "I've lived for over twenty years, and I've never seen a woman as shameless as you. You pushed your scholar cousin out to save yourself, yet you act so genuinely and shamelessly. I admire you deeply!"
Only lived for twenty years? Jiang Yuzhu thought to herself, this purple-clothed man looked a little anxious.
Although he is young, he has a deep understanding.
The other party spoke rudely, but Jiang Yuzhu glared at him and refused to admit it. She curled her lips and retorted, "What a joke! You and I have no grudges against each other, but you accepted the benefits and used my weakness against me. Who of us is more shameless?"
This purple dress was most likely stolen from Zhao Fendie by the man in purple!
Judging from the situation, Zhao Fendie should not be implicated, otherwise Jiang Yuzhu would have the intention to kill!
Jiang Yuzhu, who never lost in verbal battles, quickly made amends, "Haha, choose one of two. This question itself is a trap set to alienate my cousin and me. Do you think I'll fall for it?"
"I just put a little test, and your fox tail was exposed!"
"If you have anything to say, come to me. I'm the one you want to arrest. What has my cousin done wrong? If you know what's good for you, let him go!"
She still had to maintain face. If Lu Yunxi turned from love to hate and made things difficult for her again, it would be even more difficult for her to escape.
Jiang Yuzhu quickly found the direction and asked a series of questions.
The purple-clothed man couldn't resist. Being accused of sowing discord, he felt upset and sneered, "Jiang Yuzhu, the one who decides your life or death is not me, but your employer. You'd better fend for yourself!"
After a brief fight, Jiang Yuzhu had already figured out the character of the man in purple. This man was a rebellious person and wanted to argue when he was wronged.
The man in purple said east, but Jiang Yuzhu led the way west, which made him furious. He revealed a lot of information in a rage.
The man in purple often lurks in the black market. The employer found him through the black market and gave him 12,000 taels of silver.
"You did it for ten thousand taels? You got ripped off!"
The more she asked, the more questions she got, and Jiang Yuzhu took advantage of the situation to pursue her.
The purple-robed man said angrily, "You are the daughter of a treacherous minister and you don't know the sufferings of the world. Ten thousand taels is an exorbitant price. How many lives can you buy with that?"
"You're not from the capital, are you? Your inquiries are too one-sided. You say I'm the daughter of a treacherous official, but I'm also the wife of a powerful official. My husband, Xie Zhao, is incredibly talented and works hard for the people in the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. He only comes home once every ten days or half a month, and he can hardly get a full night's sleep!
"Your employer bribed you with just 10,000 taels. Are you worthless, or am I? You treat the family of an honest official who has dedicated themselves to the welfare of the people like this. Do you think you are worthy of the poor people of the world? You have lost your conscience!"
After some inquiries, Jiang Yuzhu basically figured it out.
The man in purple was not of high birth, and was not a particularly evil person. Although he only cared about money, he was very sympathetic to the people.
Now that you are kidnapped, you might as well make preparations for both scenarios: persuasion as the main method and escape as a secondary method.
Whenever there is an opportunity, take advantage of it.
Jiang Yuzhu kept provoking the purple-robed man, who became angry: "If you are gone, wouldn't it be better for Master Xie to marry a virtuous woman? You, the daughter of a treacherous minister, are getting involved and tarnishing Master Xie's reputation!"
"Ah, bah, Xie Zhao and I were married by the Emperor. Xie Zhao loves me to the bone, and I am also devoted to him. My cousin, you have seen it too. He is so outstanding. Do you think I am moved?"
As for the claim that her father Jiang Fulu was a traitor, Jiang Yuzhu did not admit it. Although her father was greedy for money, he had never done anything to harm the people.
"My father, despite his high position, never forgot the soldiers of the north. He sent my second brother to the camp north of the city for training and donated his clothes. You keep calling my father a traitor. Then what have you done for the soldiers defending our country?"
There is evidence that Jiang Huaiqing went to the Chengbei Camp. As for the donated property, he even took away his heirloom old cotton trousers!
The Jiang family has been cleaning up their warehouses recently, and all the old cloth and other items have to be shipped to the north.
What Jiang Yuzhu said was not a lie.
The man in purple was so angry that his forehead was twitching, and in a rage he stuffed a handkerchief into Jiang Yuzhu's mouth.
