Ji Ziqiu intended to murder members of the imperial family. Before the truth of the matter is clarified, he must be detained and a conclusion drawn after the matter is investigated.
The family members are safe for now, but they are destined to suffer this calamity, since it was Prince Jing who personally identified them.
Liao Yifeng was heartbroken and blamed himself for a long time to Lu Baichuan, saying that he was too busy with the affairs of the people and had not noticed that there was such a wolf in sheep's clothing by his side. As the military governor, he should not have been strict with his subordinates.
Lu Baichuan watched him act, then personally helped the man up and said, "This is not Lord Liao's fault. It's all because those villains are too well hidden. You must be careful in the future and not be framed by villains again."
Liao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief; he was safe for the time being.
Next, they would silence Ji Ziqiu, and that would be the end of it.
However, Ji Ziqiu had just entered prison at this time, and the security was very tight. We would have to relax a bit in a couple of days before we could talk to him again.
Take this opportunity to try and win over Lu Baichuan again.
However, Liao Yifeng never expected that at this crucial moment, a foreigner would take the initiative to come to him.
That evening, he was in his study planning how to make Ji Ziqiu die quietly, preferably without involving himself, when he heard a knock on his window.
Liao Yifeng was stunned for a moment, thinking it was a servant in the house. Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the window being opened from the outside, and then a man in black jumped in.
Who are you?
Liao Yifeng was startled. His mansion was heavily guarded, and he could see every move of Jiang Jiuniang's family. At this moment, someone entered his study without a sound.
This reminded him of the thief who had stolen from his house some time ago. Anger immediately overcame his fear, and he wanted to get back all the treasures he had lost.
"Come……"
He instinctively reached for his phone to call for help, but the short man quickly appeared in front of him, covered his mouth, and said through gritted teeth, "Yifeng-kun, why are you calling for help? Don't you want to die!"
The other party was speaking Japanese, which Liao Yifeng had been familiar with for many years and could understand perfectly.
This is actually someone from our partner?
"May I ask how you are addressed?"
He breathed a sigh of relief and began to flatter her with a smile.
"I am Matsushita Sansen. I have come here on orders to retrieve the little black ball you mentioned, Ichimine-kun."
The man spoke quickly, hands on his hips, head held high, chest puffed out; he was short but had a bad temper.
Liao Yifeng didn't immediately realize what the little black ball was. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. But after realizing it, he was still surprised. After all, he had only said that he would send some over when he had the chance, but he hadn't had the chance yet.
It's quite a distance for them to come here, so why did they send someone over so soon after receiving the letter? Are they in such a hurry?
His smile was somewhat stiff as he said, "I'm sorry, Sanquan-kun, I've been quite busy these past few days and haven't been able to get my hands on that little black ball yet. Why don't you go back first, and I'll have someone deliver it to you as soon as I get it?"
The most important thing now is to get this person away as soon as possible. Lu Baichuan's family is living in his house, and if he runs into them now, nothing he says will matter.
However, the Japanese man was not satisfied, his face fierce: "What do you mean? Are you trying to deceive us? Is there no such thing at all?"
"How could that be? It really is, but I'm busy right now, I'll be busy for a while..."
"That's none of my business. I'll give you seven days. I need to take the goods back immediately, or you can expect our Emperor's revenge!"
The short man had a fierce look on his face and showed no awareness of being on someone else's turf. He simply found a stool and sat down.
Liao Yifeng was frightened, but also a little angry. This idiot seemed to be unable to understand human language. They were just business partners, not his subordinates! Why was he throwing a tantrum at him here?
He's just a lowly errand boy, does he really think he's something special?
That wasn't all; he added, "I'm hungry. Arrange food and lodging for me; I want a good meal!"
He leaned back in his chair, looking like some important person.
Liao Yifeng naturally disagreed, refusing, "I have people in my household who will discover our relationship, so you'd better leave as soon as possible, Lord Sanquan. This person is my superior, and if he finds out, we'll both die!"
Hearing this, the man finally became frightened, stood up from his chair, uttered a harsh remark, and then quickly left.
Liao Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief, thinking he was safe, but little did he know that he was captured by Lu Baichuan the moment he stepped out of Liao Yifeng's yard.
Lu Baichuan knew when the man came in and had been secretly following him. He wanted to hear what they were saying, but he found that he couldn't understand them, so he could only arrest the man first and find an opportunity to have his wife interrogate him.
When they got back, Jiang Jiuniang was getting up in the middle of the night. Hearing what he said, she immediately became interested and said, "There's no time like the present, let's go now!"
Lu Baichuan had no place he could trust to detain that person, so he sent him directly to Qianfan Pavilion's territory, where he could avoid Liao Yifeng's eyes and was relatively safe.
When Jiang Jiuniang arrived, everyone inside respectfully addressed her as Miss.
"You all go and rest. I'm just here to interrogate someone."
Jiang Jiuniang waved her hand and followed Lu Baichuan to the dungeon.
The man was bound hand and foot, cursing and swearing, looking very angry, but his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Jiuniang.
Oh, beautiful girl!
Wow, she's pregnant!
Seeing his lewd expression, Lu Baichuan punched him without saying a word, instantly turning his eye black and purple.
"Awooooo, #￥%@*\\u0026..."
He spewed out a string of gibberish, which annoyed Lu Baichuan, and then he punched him twice.
After he finished lecturing her, Jiang Jiuniang asked in the same bird language, "What is your purpose in coming to Beiyan?"
The short man was stunned for a moment, never expecting to meet someone who could speak his language, especially a beautiful young woman.
He didn't speak, and Jiang Jiuniang continued, "I was also sent here on a mission. My mission is to bewitch the man next to me and get the information he has. What is your mission? Perhaps I can help you?"
The short man chuckled and asked, "Do I look stupid? Why should I believe you?"
"Just because he's pretty good and understands what I'm saying."
As she spoke, she swore at Lu Baichuan. Lu Baichuan looked over with an innocent expression, which said it all.
The short man was somewhat excited, but he still didn't believe Jiang Jiuniang and asked, "Then what intelligence did you steal? You're pregnant with this man's child, who knows if you'll betray the Emperor?"
Jiang Jiuniang was very patient and took the initiative to show him kindness, saying gently, "I obtained the secret formula for that little black ball and am planning to send it back soon. I will also try to save you, so don't worry. I will try to contact other people in the organization. I begged him for a long time to come see you tonight. Believe me, I will definitely come to save you. I will not abandon anyone in the organization!"
"He knows you're part of the organization?"
The short man remained vigilant.
"Of course I didn't know. I told him that was my hometown, and that I was sold here."
