Chapter 87 Catch his wife!
In a private room on the second floor of Tianxia Diyi Building, a man in a black robe stood by the window.
The subordinate entered the room and bowed, saying, "Sir, as you thought, Miss Cousin is here."
Lu Yunxi retracted his gaze, turned around and said calmly: "I see."
The subordinate hesitated for a moment and said: "The tickets for Tianxia Diyilou have been sold out. I saw Miss Cousin waiting for tickets. Do you need to inform her..."
Before his subordinate could finish, Lu Yunxi made a gesture to keep quiet, and a subtle smile appeared on his thin lips: "No need."
His cousin is not so incapable of solving such a small problem.
The subordinate lowered his head and replied cautiously: "I think your appearance at this time is a timely help."
Lu Yunxi was half lying on the couch, his loose black robe clinging to his slender body. He closed his eyes and said in a cold voice, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things."
The room fell into silence.
The subordinate fell to his knees with a thud, his forehead on the ground, and his whole body was trembling. It was obvious that he had not recovered from the shock.
Lu Yunxi said nonchalantly, "It won't happen again."
After kowtowed, the subordinate quickly walked out the door, feeling lucky for having escaped death.
After arriving in the capital, the young master hid his edge, but he was still a young master.
Soon, Lu Yunxi was the only one left in the room.
He opened his eyes, and his eyes were bright.
Lu Yunxi concealed some of his aura, removing the sharpness and leaving only warmth.
Why hadn't he found his cousin so interesting before?
If this was the case, Lu Yunxi would not have chosen to fake his death and appear a few years after Jiang Yuzhu got married. He thought Jiang Yuzhu must be obsessed with him, but he found that she not only avoided him, but also despised him.
The originally boring days began to become more interesting and give people some hope.
At this moment, there was a huge crowd in front of Tianxia Diyilou, and a stampede almost occurred.
Jiang Yuzhu tried to stand in the last row. She had money anyway, so she just needed to wait for the waiter to hand her the tickets.
After getting the theater tickets, Jiang Yuzhu put on a veil and sneaked into the lobby.
The whole class performed in the evening, and Wei Jing chose the same day to be the first to perform.
It was the time when the government office was on duty. Jiang Yuzhu looked around and saw a few familiar faces. They should be officials from Wei Shoufu's faction. Their sneaky behavior attracted attention.
From the high platform in front, a burst of humming and singing was heard.
"Jiang" Yuzhu showed up, looking extremely ugly, with a birthmark specially painted on her face.
Jiang Yuzhu snorted. Wei Jing really did everything she could to discredit her.
When Jiang Yuzhu met her cousin, she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms and secretly got married in the temple. The two cut their hair and tied the knot.
The play hadn't finished yet, and Jiang Yuzhu suspected there would be some obscene jokes next.
Just then the door of the lobby was pushed open, and a shrewd little man rushed in and quickly hid in the crowd.
Xie Zhao led hundreds of officials to surround the teahouse and said to the shopkeeper: "The government is investigating the case. Seize the No. 1 Teahouse and arrest the notorious thief!"
The shopkeeper smiled at first, then said in a frighteningly cold voice: "Thank you, sir. Our teahouse abides by the law. Where did this bandit come from?"
Let’s be frank, this is the Wei family’s property.
Before Xie Zhao leads people to search, it would be better to ask Prime Minister Wei's opinion.
"Oh? When did Prime Minister Wei have the right to stop the government from handling a case?"
Xie Zhao signaled to his men, and they immediately produced a search warrant with the official seal of the Jingzhao Yin Yamen on it.
When the shopkeeper saw the official seal, his eyes shifted and he became even more suspicious.
Not only the shopkeeper didn't believe it, Jiang Yuzhu also had some doubts. Previously, Xu Qian came to her teahouse to cause trouble, but he couldn't produce any written evidence and was finally forced to leave.
Jiang Yuzhu won that battle beautifully.
Now, Xie Zhao brought a search warrant. In order to help her, the search warrant was forged?
Based on Jiang Yuzhu's understanding, Xie Zhao would definitely not let anyone find fault with him, let alone such an obvious one.
If a search warrant is forged, he will be dismissed from his post as Jingzhao Yin at the court tomorrow morning.
Could it be that...the bandit is real?
Jiang Yuzhu took a quick look and secretly moved to the periphery to protect herself.
It's a coincidence, but it's very powerful.
Xie Zhao handled the matter impartially and looked as if there was no room for maneuver.
The shopkeeper was so anxious that he scratched his head and promised a large sum of money as an inducement, but Xie Zhao remained unmoved.
Feeling a gaze on him, Xie Zhao nodded slightly to Jiang Yuzhu, signaling her not to worry.
In Jiang Yuzhu's eyes, Xie Zhao was like a divine soldier sent from heaven, and his image immediately became taller.
His eyebrows were like ink, his pupils were black, he was serious and had a cold temperament. Only when he looked at her did he show a little worldly air.
Across the crowd, the couple looked at each other and communicated with their eyes.
Suddenly, there was a commotion among the crowd.
The little man rushed in with a dagger in his hand, caught the unlucky guy and challenged Xie Zhao: "Master Xie, today I was careless and you found an opportunity. You want to arrest me, but don't you want his life?"
The person arrested was Yu Yinian, the chief academic officer of the Imperial College, who was a classmate of Wei Shoufu and had a friendship with him for more than ten years.
The sharp tip of the knife had already pierced Yu Jijiu's neck.
"Thank you, sir. Please take your men out quickly, or my life will be in danger!"
Yu Jijiu was a scholar and had never seen anything like this before. His legs went weak and he almost cried.
Xie Zhao had a blank expression on his face and was unmoved by the cries of the chief priest.
"Jia Wu, put down the dagger!"
Jia Wu is the younger brother of Jia San who was executed in Qunshan County. He has been on the run ever since and has committed many evil deeds, with hundreds of deaths on his hands.
Xie Zhao had finally driven Jia Wu to Tianxia Diyi Lou, and now he was catching him in a jar, so there was no way he would let him go.
Jia Wu cursed: "Xie Zhao, do you want this dog official to die?"
Jia Wu smiled viciously, thinking that he was killing people for fun?
Seeing Xie Zhao not helping him, Yu Jijiu thought of the time when he saw Jiang Yuzhu while watching the play, so he said angrily: "Jia Wu, what's the point of arresting me? Do you think Xie Zhao will show mercy? If you arrested Jiang Yuzhu, the result would be very different. Xie Zhao would have knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot!"
Yu Jijiu finally got smart and diverted Jia Wu's attention.
Jia Wu was a little unconvinced: "Xie Zhao doesn't even give face to his colleagues, so why would he care about a woman?"
Yu Jijiu said with a sad face: "I am not a beauty. As the saying goes, even heroes cannot resist the temptation of beauty. How can I compare with Jiang Yuzhu?"
Thinking of the possibility of being stabbed in the neck and bleeding to death, Yu Jijiu cried, "I am still in my prime and have not yet served the emperor. If I die like this, it will be an eternal injustice, and it is tragic and lamentable!"
Jiang Yuzhu was extremely speechless. How could she still sigh about her own talent when she was about to die?
This Yu Jijiu really has a bit of the air of Wei Shoufu.
Originally, Jiang Yuzhu didn't care about the life or death of the person who betrayed her, but considering Yu Jijiu's position as the manager of the Imperial College, she could use him to her advantage.
Forget it, be more generous and make fewer enemies.
Jiang Yuzhu looked at Xie Zhao and blinked.
Xie Zhao's mind moved, and after a while he nodded slightly.
The couple's eyes met across the air and they understood each other's meaning.
Jiang Yuzhu took a deep breath and took out the mini crossbow given by Xie Zhao from her purse. She prepared to draw the bow and shoot the arrow from behind and suddenly aimed the arrow at Jia Wu!
