Chapter 160 Fight
Jiang Yuzhu had a sad expression, with tears 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 could not see each other's expressions, she immediately restrained her expression.
The purple-clothed man mentioned a choice between two options, and only one can survive. Is there such a good thing?
If that was the case, there was no need to choose at all, as Jiang Yuzhu already had the answer in her mind.
The purple-clothed man waited for a long time without hearing a word, and asked disdainfully, "Jiang Yuzhu, why don't you say anything? Are you thinking of living in disgrace?"
The purple-clothed man's words were blunt and harsh. Jiang Yuzhu said 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 would not 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, and she waited for a long time before she said in a muffled voice, "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 it is free to watch. The man in purple is very interested and waits for the answer with his ears perked up.
"Please, please give my cousin a quick death!"
Jiang Yuzhu seemed to have used up all her strength and choked up as she spoke.
"Death is the end of everything. There is no more pain. Everything, the longing, the self-blame, the guilt, will be borne by the survivors. I have already let my cousin down. I will never let him suffer again!"
The purple-clothed man looked Jiang Yuzhu in the face for the first time, bowed and said sarcastically: "I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never seen a woman as shameless as you. In the final analysis, you pushed your scholar cousin out to save yourself, but you acted so sincerely and shamelessly. I admire you so much!"
Only lived for more than twenty years? Jiang Yuzhu thought to herself that the man in purple looked a little anxious.
Although he is young, he has a deep understanding.
The other party spoke rudely, Jiang Yuzhu glared and refused to admit it, curling her lips and retorting: "What a joke! You and I have no grudges, you took the benefit and used my weakness against me, who is more shameless between us?"
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 never lost in a verbal battle, and she quickly said, "Haha, choose one of the two. This question itself is a trap set to alienate the relationship between me and my cousin. Do you think I will be fooled?"
"I just tried to test you a little, 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? Let him go if you know what's good for you!"
She still had to maintain face. If Lu Yunxi turned love into 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. He was accused of being a troublemaker and felt upset. He sneered, "Jiang Yuzhu, the one who decides your life or death is not me, but your employer. You'd better wish for the best!"
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 was talking about going east, but Jiang Yuzhu was leading the group to go west, which made him furious. He revealed a lot of information in a rage.
The man in purple had been lurking in the black market all year round. The employer found him through the black market and gave him 12,000 taels of silver.
"You did it for 10,000 taels? You got ripped off!"
The more she asked, the more questions she got, and Jiang Yuzhu took advantage of the situation to press forward.
The purple-robed man said angrily, "You are the daughter of a treacherous official and you don't know the sufferings of the world. Ten thousand taels is a sky-high price. How many lives can you buy with that?"
"You are not a native of the capital, right? Your inquiries are too one-sided. You say that I am the daughter of a treacherous official, but I am also the wife of a powerful official. My husband, Xie Zhao, is extremely 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!
"The employer bought you off with 10,000 taels. Are you worthless or am I worthless? You treat the family of an honest official who has devoted himself to the welfare of the people like this. Are you worthy of the poor people in the world? You have lost your conscience!"
Through inquiries, Jiang Yuzhu basically figured out the situation.
The man in purple was not of high birth, and was not considered a particularly evil person. Although he only cared about money, he was very empathetic towards the common people.
Now that you are tied up, you might as well make preparations for both situations, with persuasion as the main option and escape as a secondary option.
As long as there is an opportunity, take advantage of it.
Jiang Yuzhu kept provoking the purple-clothed man, who became angry and said, "If you are gone, wouldn't it be better for Master Xie to marry a virtuous woman? You, the daughter of a treacherous official, are getting involved and tarnishing Master Xie's reputation!"
"Ah, the emperor has granted me a marriage with Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao loves me to the core, and I am devoted to him. My cousin, you have seen it too. He is so outstanding. Do you think I am moved?"
As for whether her father Jiang Fulu was a traitor, Jiang Yuzhu refused to admit it. Although her father was greedy for money, he had never done anything to harm the people.
"My father was in a high position in the government, but he never forgot the soldiers in the north. He sent my second brother to the camp in the north of the city for training and donated his clothes. You keep saying that my father is a traitor, but what contribution have you made to the soldiers who defended our country?"
There is evidence that Jiang Huaiqing went to the North City Camp. As for the donated property, he even took away the heirloom old cotton trousers!
The Jiang family has been reorganizing their warehouses recently, and all old cloth and other items have to be transported to the north.
What Jiang Yuzhu said was not a lie.
The purple-clothed man was so angry that his forehead was twitching, and in a rage he stuffed a handkerchief into Jiang Yuzhu's mouth.
He originally wanted to give Jiang Yuzhu a stabbing blow, but considering the contributions of Jiang Fulu and Xie Zhao, he showed mercy.
On the side, Lu Yunxi listened silently, not missing a single word, and was secretly shocked.
Before this, he had high hopes for Wei Jing, who was ruthless, cruel, and extremely smart. She even wanted to use a substitute bride to trick her master.
When his subordinates provoked him, Lu Yunxi would only look down on them. He would use thundering means to force them to surrender, and he enjoyed the process.
As far as I can remember, my cousin Jiang Yuzhu was not like this.
Could it be that birds of a feather flock together, and that after being married for several years, she was influenced by Xie Zhao?
No matter what, Lu Yunxi was too lazy to explore. He was very interested in the current Jiang Yuzhu.
However, women are just playthings, and great achievements are what he pursues throughout his life.
Soon, the man in purple took off the blindfolds of the two and pushed Lu Yunxi and Jiang Yuzhu into a low thatched house.
"Bang!"
The door was closed, showing that the man in purple was still angry.
Jiang Yuzhu didn't care. She walked around the room, picked up a pile of hay, sat down against the dry wall, and closed her eyes to rest.
Through testing, the employer basically ruled out the Xuan family and the Wei family.
These two families are well-established and have their own minions, so there is no need to go to the black market to find people.
The man in purple has few accomplices and is easily influenced, which shows that he is not very skilled.
In the capital, it seemed that it was not that difficult to find someone who could come up with ten thousand taels of silver and who had a grudge against her.
"cousin……"
The broken house was leaking, and Lu Yunxi's hands and feet had traces of friction from the ropes, and blood was oozing out. He planned to ask Jiang Yuzhu for cloth strips to bandage the wounds.
Jiang Yuzhu pretended not to hear, closed her eyes and said nothing.
Lu Yunxi: “…”
He always thought that Jiang Yuzhu blamed him, but now that they were alone, she turned a blind eye to the injuries on his body. It turned out that he was really not in her heart.
Although he was unwilling to believe it, this was the truth. Lu Yunxi lowered his eyes, and his gaze became cold and deep.
Sooner or later, Jiang Yuzhu will cry and kneel down to beg for his love!
