Chapter 34: Following the Madam to Take the Credit
At the New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Yuzhu was not affected at all. Instead, she persuaded Xie Zhao to eat more.
Eat more to give you more strength, otherwise you will fall every three steps even when you run away.
When leaving Beijing this time, Xie Zhao brought a team of secret guards with him.
Hearing that there were secret guards protecting her, Jiang Yuzhu became more relaxed. She drank tea and ate melon seeds after dinner, and showed great adaptability.
Seeing Jia San, Jiang Yuzhu did not show any abnormality, and asked with a smile: "Young man, is the Big Buddha Temple you mentioned really that effective?"
Jiang Yuzhu gave Jia San a piece of silver as a reward. She placed snacks in the lobby and generously invited the shopkeeper and Jia San to enjoy them.
"Madam, you didn't come here for the Big Buddha Temple."
Jia San glanced at him and thought it would be okay to say a few more words.
It’s a pity that beautiful women have such a short life.
If Jiang Yuzhu died on the road, the Jiang family would definitely hate the new emperor and the Xie family. At that time, the master behind Jia San could use the Jiang family as a sharp knife, and the rebellion would be just around the corner.
When asked about the purpose of coming here, Jiang Yuzhu showed no interest and looked unhappy.
Jia San had no doubts and started chatting with Jiang Yuzhu: "The Big Buddha Temple is mainly for praying for children. You see, the pilgrims from Qunshan County know about it. There are also pilgrims from Jiangnan who come thousands of miles away. They travel a long way during the New Year just for a wish."
“Is it really that effective?”
Jiang Yuzhu was a little skeptical, and she used all kinds of tricks to ask questions in her conversation.
Jia San didn't mind leaking a little, and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation.
It was late at night, and Jiang Yuzhu was reluctant to go upstairs. She took a long time before returning to her room with her maid.
Jia San said to the shopkeeper, "What a pity for Miss Jiang."
There are rumors in the capital that Jiang Yuzhu is a fool, beautiful but not smart, but Jia San thinks she is not bad.
Not as delicate as rumored, very approachable.
The shopkeeper agreed: "Xie Zhao is not worthy of Miss Jiang. We will give her a quick death later."
In order to make the Jiang family hate the new emperor, Jiang Yuzhu must die, otherwise the shopkeeper might really spare Jiang Yuzhu's life.
Upstairs, Jiang Yuzhu had already washed up, completely unaware that the only people who said Xie Zhao was not worthy of her were two notorious bandits.
"Madam, it's getting late, why don't you rest first?"
It was almost midnight when Xie Zhao stood up and asked.
Jiang Yuzhu tried to stop him and grabbed another handful of melon seeds: "Wait a little longer."
At this moment, Jiang Yuzhu was also very nervous.
About half an hour later, Hong Jin's voice came from the door: "Madam, it's done."
Jiang Yuzhu stood up suddenly, grabbed the dagger on the table and rushed out the door.
Xie Zhao was quite surprised and immediately followed behind him.
In the lobby downstairs, the shopkeeper and Jia Sanmian were both hungry. They leaned against each other, too exhausted to speak.
Xie Zhao's cold eyes showed a hint of doubt: "Madam, this is..."
Originally, he and Jiang Yuzhu had agreed that they would lure Jiang Yuzhu into a trap tonight and then follow Jia San's clues to find the den where the children were trafficked.
The current situation is completely different from what we imagined.
Jiang Yuzhu explained: "Master, I originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but I felt that the risk was still a bit too high."
If Jia San doesn't take the bait, Jiang Yuzhu can only wait in the room.
She added some Chunfeng Yishusan into the cakes, but the shopkeeper and the clerk were caught off guard and after being fooled by her, they actually thought she was a good person.
Jiang Yuzhu said innocently: "I have reminded them that I am not a good person."
Jia Sanhe, the shopkeeper, who was leaning against a spot without any ability to move, said: "..."
They thought Jiang Yuzhu was being modest and not on guard, but who knew if what she said was true?
He had been rampant for many years, and at least hundreds of people had died at Jia San's hands. Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap of a weak woman.
Beauty can mislead!
Xie Zhao hid the smile in his eyes and asked, "Madam, did you use croton powder?"
Jiang Yuzhu waved her hand: "It's just a spring breeze."
Thinking of the value of the spring breeze, Jiang Yuzhu added: "The money spent must be reimbursed by the master."
As expected, Xie Zhao's face turned dark.
His wife carries these vile things with her. Is she planning to use them on him?
Jiang Yuzhu saw that Xie Zhao had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained: "Master, please don't misunderstand. When traveling in the martial arts world, you must always bring some self-protection items with you in case of emergency."
There are only a few kinds of poison, and poisoning is easy to detect.
The spring breeze is colorless and tasteless, and it will not attract attention if put in cakes and pastries.
Xie Zhao's face turned even darker. If it wasn't used on him, wouldn't it be even more excessive?
"Master, Madam, I saw someone sneaking around to meet Jia San, and I've already told the secret guards to follow them."
Hong Jin reported back.
Xie Zhao didn't need to do anything, Jiang Yuzhu took care of everything.
Xie Zhao felt like he was following his wife and taking credit for everything.
Then, there was a long silence.
Jiang Yuzhu was exhausted, so she went back to the carriage and fell asleep, leaving Xie Zhao to look after Jia San and the shopkeeper.
As if something was blocking his heart, Xie Zhao found someone to vent his anger on: "Jia San, you escaped two years ago, you won't be so lucky today."
"Haha, Xie Zhao, you're lucky!"
Jia San was on guard against Xie Zhao, but he didn't expect that Jiang Yuzhu was the boss behind the scenes.
All along, those rumors in the capital were all arranged by Xie Zhao!
"However, Jiang Yuzhu is obsessed with going to the Big Buddha Temple to pray for a child. Is Master Xie ill?"
Even when death was imminent, Jia San still wanted to vent his anger. He insulted Xie Zhao and felt extremely happy.
Xie Zhao curled his lips and said, "Is this officer capable or not? Didn't you see it?"
Xie Zhao was referring to the scene where Jia San broke into the kitchen.
"It is precisely because I have satisfied the lady that the spring breeze has dissipated and there is no place for it to be used, so I give it to you as a reward."
After Xie Zhao finished speaking, Jia San was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was already a prisoner, and it was futile to struggle any further.
At dawn, the secret guards had already followed Jia San and others to the lair in Gunma County.
There are several large compounds in the countryside of Gunma Prefecture, which house children and abducted women.
Jiang Yuzhu went to take a look at the courtyard and almost left a shadow.
Because children will be sold to brothels, they have to learn how to please others even at a young age.
The woman's house was even more miserable.
Hong Xiu couldn't bear to watch it any longer, her eyes turned red: "Madam, the black hand behind this is simply not a human being!"
Among those women, there were more than a dozen who were pregnant and had been tortured to the point of insanity.
"I heard that some men with perverted hobbies like..."
Hong Jin couldn't continue. As women, they couldn't bear to see other women suffer like this.
Not only were they bullied and insulted, but if they gave birth to a child, the baby in their belly would not survive and would be sold to wealthy families to be made into clay sculptures for those seeking children.
Jiang Yuzhu asked Xie Zhao: "How are you going to settle these women?"
It's rare to find two or three people who are not crazy, and their homes are thousands of miles away from the capital.
Will the government pay money to send the victim home?
Xie Zhao thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible, provided those women are willing to return home."
Even though the government paid for their resettlement, these women might not have a good home when they returned home.
In the remote countryside, people care more about a woman's reputation.
When the abducted woman returned to her hometown, her parents refused to recognize her. The truth is so cruel.
