It wasn't that she was gloating; she just felt that Lord Liu probably didn't have much time left to live.
Her gaze shifted, then settled again on Leng Pusheng: "Among your brothers, are there any who specialize in forging letters?"
Leng Pusheng looked at her with suspicion: "Zhou Jin is a master of all kinds."
"Miss Wei, are you preparing to...?"
Wei Wei's lips curled up: "Take this note and have Zhou Jin copy it again, but add a few lines."
After saying that, he whispered in Leng Pusheng's ear.
A bright light flashed in Leng Pusheng's eyes: "Miss Wei, that's a brilliant move!"
He said sincerely, "If we add it, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. Even if Prefect Liu is the emperor's brother-in-law, he won't be able to escape!"
He turned to leave and get to work.
Wei Wei immediately called out to him, "I haven't finished speaking yet."
"Although the words can be added, we still need the right person to deliver them."
"Lord Yao is not a fool; he won't believe just anyone."
She bit her lip and said, "Once the writing is finished, we need to find a way to get this jade bracelet and note back into the hands of the mistress."
"You need to take the rewritten note and immediately ask Young Master Wang to accompany you to see Lord Yao."
She looked at him earnestly: "Tell Young Master Wang that I have only one request."
"That means finding a way to relocate the monks at Ping'an Temple to a safe place that same day."
She had compassion in her heart and did not want innocent people to suffer any harm.
Leng Pusheng seriously agreed and disappeared over the wall.
——
In Osmanthus Alley, an inconspicuous house lit up.
Jiang Yu, with his long, dark hair loose, leaned lazily against the headboard.
He still looked tired, but the smile on his lips was extremely gentle.
The words on the slip of paper held gently in my hand were very clear.
He clenched his fist and said, "Just do as she says. I'll handle Yao Zidian's side."
"However, paper cannot be used indiscriminately."
He moved his arm and pointed to the study next door: "There are Xie Gong paper on the upper left of the bookshelf. This is my third brother's favorite kind of Xuan paper. Last time I asked him for some, he was stingy and only gave me a few sheets."
At this point, he chuckled softly: "If you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way. That's what makes it fun."
"Take him and let Zhou Jin write down what she wants to add."
Leng Pusheng glanced at them, but couldn't help but think to himself how ridiculous the two of them were.
They are a perfect match.
He didn't dare to delay and turned to leave.
When Leng Pusheng returned from the Wei residence, Jiang Yu was already dressed.
She was dressed in a black, fitted outfit, and her hair was tied up high.
It's completely different from usual.
Leng Pusheng handed the note back to him.
He unfolded it and looked at it. It contained the full name of Prefect Liu and also subtly mentioned Jiang Luan's name, emphasizing that he should do the job well. Wealth and honor awaited him.
The handwriting is exactly the same.
"Guess if this was written by that damned eunuch?" Jiang Yu asked with a smile.
Leng Pusheng replied, "This subordinate does not know."
Jiang Yu's brows twitched. Looking at this serious-looking subordinate, he felt that his temper was growing stronger day by day.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with him.
He waved his hand at him: "Go back."
He added, "On that day, if she wants to go and join in the fun, you must stay close to her at all times."
Seeing that Leng Pusheng obediently agreed, he left without making a sound.
——
Lord Yao is still awake.
A tall stack of files lay on the table; his eyes were downcast, and he was intently turning the pages.
Opposite him was Yu Qian, who had also not rested.
Yu Qian put down the booklet in his hand and said in a low voice, "Lord Yao's health has not yet recovered. It is already past midnight. Why don't you close your eyes and rest for a while?"
Lord Yao looked somewhat haggard. He rubbed his temples with his uninjured hand, but then shook his head.
"That guy surnamed Liu is too arrogant and domineering. He's already going too far here. It's hard to imagine how he used to be an official."
"Even if that woman hadn't rushed forward to save the child during the day, our people would have acted in time."
"But I was still terrified, and thinking about it now, I feel very uncomfortable."
"I want to see how he handles each and every one of these cases!"
This statement is actually a misrepresentation of Lord Liu.
Before Jiang Luan and his group found the Wei family, he was confused but knew he couldn't go too far.
Now that it's already done, it can't be considered innocent no matter what.
Sitting to the side, Yu Qian knew that Yao Zidian was stubborn and that no one could persuade him once he made up his mind, so he stopped trying to change his mind.
He casually picked up one of the booklets and said with a smile, "Actually, it's quite easy to find fault with Lord Yao, but they're all trivial matters, not worth the effort."
"If his backers find out, they'll spread rumors throughout the capital."
They spent most of the night reading it, and it did indeed contain records of friction between neighbors.
The conflict either stems from a dispute over land or from mutual dislike.
Hundreds of cases, all of them similar, made them absolutely furious!
Lord Yao slammed his fist on the table in anger: "I refuse to believe that Loucheng could be so peaceful and prosperous!"
Yu Qian tilted his head, as if remembering something: "Didn't I hear a while ago that Prefect Liu suppressed a merchant's wife?"
"We can summon her over tomorrow for questioning."
Lord Yao frowned and thought for a while.
Although it might cause Prefect Liu to harbor resentment towards the merchant's wife, he was determined not to be bullied while he was there, so he agreed to his suggestion.
Seeing that the files were not of much use and that they had already made arrangements for tomorrow, the two were thinking of going back to rest.
At that moment, the young guard who was standing at the door hurriedly walked in.
"Sir, someone has come to visit."
The young guard's expression was somewhat strange, making the two people in the room wary.
Who would come over in the middle of the night?
"The chivalrous man who saved you last time."
Lord Yao immediately stood up.
While I was happy, I was also filled with more surprise and uncertainty.
After the chivalrous man saved him last time, he left in a hurry.
Now, in the middle of the night, they suddenly come looking for us again.
Thinking about it, I know it won't be anything good.
What if he were asked to repay a debt of gratitude and do something he didn't want to do?
Yao Zidian was hesitating when Yu Qian laughed and said, "No matter what he's up to, let's invite him in first. If he hadn't reacted quickly, that arrow would have been aimed at your throat."
That makes sense. When our benefactor comes, we can't refuse him entry.
The guards went out.
A tall, thin man in black walked in, bringing with him a gust of cold wind.
His face was covered with a black cloth, revealing only a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes.
