Wei Wei grew somewhat impatient before awkwardly saying, "I think you should reconsider what happened tonight. Do you really want to put yourself in such danger?"
Wei Wei thought he came over to say something, but it turned out to be this.
He smiled slightly and said, "This is a decision that has already been made, so Lord Yu need not worry."
"If there's nothing else, I have other things to arrange."
She clearly didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Knowing he couldn't change her mind, Yu Qian could only leave dejectedly.
As darkness fell, Leng Pusheng returned.
Everything was arranged outside the city, and she relaxed.
She had originally planned to lure out those assassins and kill them in one fell swoop.
However, it would be more worthwhile to take this opportunity to achieve what you want as well.
——
A faint sound suddenly came from the quiet back gate of the government office.
Someone quietly opened the door, looked around, and then came out.
Then the gate opened, and a carriage stepped out and silently headed towards the city gate.
As the curtains fluttered, a beautiful face peeked out from inside.
On the rooftop not far away, a figure shifted uneasily.
Is that the Wei family member inside?
"It seems so."
What are they going out to do?
"You'll find out once you follow them."
"Is this a trap?"
"Would the Wei family dare to act as bait?"
Two figures stealthily followed ahead.
The city gates opened, then closed again.
The carriage suddenly sped off as if it had taken off on a wild ride, and in no time it was far away.
The man in black paused in the corner.
"Why are you walking so fast?"
"Call the other two immediately! They must be heading to the capital!"
What are you going to the capital for?
"The jade pendant has definitely been found!"
The four men in black, no longer holding back, immediately gave chase after them after they regrouped.
It was quiet around them, with several men dressed in plain clothes riding horses to accompany them on either side.
They moved quickly, as if afraid of being chased.
Wei Wei sat in the carriage, trying hard to listen to the sounds around her.
The wind seemed to pick up a bit, followed by an extremely sharp sound that came from the dense forest on both sides.
She had no intention of going to look, but instead carefully crouched down, trying to keep her entire body within a safe range.
The fighting outside wasn't accompanied by loud shouts, but the oppressive silence sent shivers down one's spine.
Swords clashed and tore at each other, bodies were slashed open, and blood splattered into the sky.
Wei Wei felt it was a long time, yet it also felt very short.
It wasn't until Leng Pusheng, panting heavily, called out before leaving, "Miss Wei," that things changed.
The tension that had been gripping her throat finally eased.
As I stepped off the carriage, I saw the black-clad man who had long since fallen silent.
“These few are much more troublesome than the others. If we didn’t have enough people, they might have escaped.”
Leng Pusheng said, "But now everything is finally resolved."
They died, leaving only the gloomy man in the Jiang mansion who would never grow a beard.
"Let's go back."
The carriage turned and headed towards Loucheng.
When they returned to the yamen, everyone was already waiting.
Wei's mother's eyes were red and swollen, and her condition only improved after she saw Wei Wei return safely.
After comforting them, she had time to stand alone in front of Lord Yao again.
"Zhou Quan has run away."
Lord Yao's expression was not pleasant, and his concerns were evident from his very first words.
While Wei Wei and the others were leaving the city, Yao Zidian was also leading his men towards the Jiang residence.
But what I saw was an empty house, with people gone and everything in a mess.
Wei Wei didn't find it strange that Zhou Quan had run away.
He'll leave tonight whether he gets the jade pendant or not.
Having already made up his mind, he must have already left the city ahead of everyone else.
Now, they've probably long since drifted far apart.
Zhou Quan has left Loucheng, and those schemes no longer exist in Loucheng.
In order to avoid being in a passive position in the future, Lord Yao immediately decided to return to the capital.
In just two days, the dramatic changes in Loucheng have vanished like smoke.
The people saw them off outside the city on the day they left.
Wei took the lead and shouted, "Lord Yao, Lord Yu, do not forget our promise. Those who died unjustly are waiting for justice!"
Looking at these hopeful people, Lord Yao nodded solemnly: "Under the clear and bright heavens, no wrongful conviction will be allowed to remain dormant!"
"You will all wait for my good news."
——
Loucheng has finally returned to its original state.
Not long after, the imperial court sent another prefect to take over.
He was more upright than Prefect Liu, and the people of Loucheng respected him greatly.
When people relax, the days seem to pass by especially quickly.
On New Year's Eve, a few snowflakes drifted down from the sky. Little Moon hurriedly walked into the corridor from outside, brushed the snowflakes off her body, and then went inside.
The house was warm and cozy, with charcoal burning inside.
Wei Wei was writing furiously at the table.
"Miss, the master and mistress have sent word that they want you to come home for the New Year."
Xiaoyue'er's voice came over, causing Wei Wei to pause slightly.
She has almost finished dealing with all the shops in the Meng family during this period, and after the New Year, she will use the excuse of going to see Meng Zhixuan to go to the capital.
Hearing Xiaoyue mention it, she was just saying goodbye to her parents.
So I put down what I was doing.
