"Jiang Yuzhu, what's going on?"
Although he has not received any news from the customer yet, he will not let the person go according to the agreement.
"No matter how sweet your words, how smooth your delivery, or even how much money you offer, the rules of the underworld will not be broken."
After the man in purple finished speaking, he turned and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly asked people to stay.
"Brave man, even if you don't let me go, you have to be nice to me. What if I become your next customer?"
Always leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future.
By now the news of her abduction had spread, and seeing that the person behind her hadn't taken any action, he must have been afraid.
Who was it that tricked her?
If it hadn't rained so heavily today, she would have left Hongxiu and Hongjin at the Huguo Temple, and the purple-clothed man would have never taken advantage of them.
"You earn ten thousand taels of silver, but you can't do without my cooperation. I want hot water to wash and a change of clean clothes. Is that too much to ask?"
After looking around, Jiang Yuzhu began to make demands.
There are deep mountains and forests all around, and if you escape you might end up in a wolf's den.
Jiang Yuzhu weighed the pros and cons and decided that she had to run away.
If you escape, you can at least overcome the danger on your own. If you stay and let others do the killing, it would be too passive.
"Not ten thousand taels."
The purple-robed man made another mistake and corrected Jiang Yu's mistake, "First, take the 5,000 taels deposit, and then settle the remaining 5,000 taels after the deal is done."
He had sent someone to deliver the letter as agreed, but there was no response from the other party and he did not receive a reply.
According to the rules of the underworld, the other party is considered to have broken his promise.
Jiang Yuzhu sneered and said, "That person broke the contract first, so you don't have to follow the rules so strictly, right? Now that you are a free agent, I can hire you to do something."
"You have no money."
The man in purple was slightly shaken. Their business only charged half the deposit.
Jiang Yuzhu's jewelry was worthless. She shook her sleeves and found they were empty.
Because she suddenly had her period, she changed her clothes in the carriage and left her purse in the carriage.
Jiang Yuzhu revealed a trace of sadness and said, "I can't hold the money now, but I can use my cousin to pay off the debt."
A flash of disdain flashed across the purple-clothed man's eyes, and he thought to himself that being Jiang Yuzhu's cousin was truly unlucky.
Although he couldn't stand the love between men and women, he couldn't stand being taken advantage of!
Find an opportunity, the man in purple must persuade his stubborn cousin.
"Brave man, ask around. The Lu family is quite well-known in Jiangnan. My cousin is a teacher at the Qingzhu Academy. They won't be short of your money anyway."
Jiang Yuzhu tried her best to persuade him. The man in purple thought it over again and again, threw a set of men's clothes to Jiang Yuzhu, and pushed her into a slightly better thatched house to change clothes.
The men's clothing was too loose, so Jiang Yuzhu simply put it on.
A whistle was heard not far away. The man in purple didn't care about anything else and immediately mounted his horse and went to the sound.
The man in purple had few companions, and they were all attracted by the whistle.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Yuzhu went to the kitchen, grabbed a few steaming buns, and rushed straight into the mountains.
As for her cousin Lu Yunxi, she had long forgotten about him.
At dusk, the rain stopped and the sunset dyed the sky red.
Not long after, Xuan Yao was kidnapped by a group of men in black and pushed into a thatched hut.
"Who are you? Where is my cousin?"
Lu Yunxi leaned against the wall and asked with pursed lips.
In all these years, he had never been schemed against by a woman, and Jiang Yuzhu was the first one.
Although she had blocked the knife for her before, Lu Yunxi didn't feel any gratitude from her cousin.
Selfish enough, he likes it!
"How do I know who your cousin is?"
Xuan Yao kicked the door hard and cursed frantically, "You dare to kidnap me just because you know who I am? You all will die miserably!"
Xuan Yao received news that her brother Xuan Qi was at the academy and wanted to see her. Before she arrived at Qingzhu Academy, she was kidnapped by a group of people.
After calming down and recalling what had happened, Xuan Yao finally looked Lu Yunxi in the eye and immediately exclaimed, "You lecher, why are you not wearing any clothes!"
"Yes, I didn't wear it. So, I am being rude."
Lu Yunxi pressed Xuan Yao against the wall and stripped off her coat.
Xuan Yao fought back with all her might, but her strength was as weak as a chicken's. Finally, she made up her mind and said, "If you harm my reputation in the slightest, you will die, and your body will be chopped into dozens of pieces and fed to the dogs!"
Facing the girl from the Xuan family, Lu Yunxi didn't need to pretend. He put Xuan Yao's coat on himself.
This kind of guy is arrogant, domineering, and brainless. He doesn't have such a strong taste for him.
If we really talk about their relationship, Xuan Yao is his cousin.
But his cruel mother probably doesn't know that he is still alive.
Back then, his mother, Queen Dowager Xuan, disliked him because he was weak and thought he was a stillbirth, so he was replaced.
If he had not been abandoned, he would not have been sent to Jiangnan to be a member of the Lu family. He would have long been a legitimate member of the Xiao family and would have ascended the throne to become emperor!
Everything was clearly within his reach and originally belonged to him, but Lu Yunxi insisted on planning it all on his own and took the blame for being a traitor!
Xuan Yao was left with only her underwear and cried, "You, how could you..."
"Why not?"
Lu Yunxi replied coldly, "Miss, if you think I'm rude, then I can only find clothes to cover it up."
Xuan Yao was so angry that she was speechless. She muttered softly, "Then you're going to grab my clothes?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
Lu Yunxi closed his eyes, a look of doubt in his eyes.
Someone went to the black market and paid someone to kidnap Jiang Yuzhu, so how could they have captured Xuan Yao?
Who on earth dared to so brazenly offend the Xuan family? I'm afraid there wouldn't be many such people in the capital.
Lu Yunxi only felt that there was a thick fog in front of him, and for a moment he couldn't figure out the real purpose of the person behind it.
If it wasn't someone behind the scenes who did it, but someone else intervened and created complications, things would have become even more complicated.
