She was afraid that the water might attract snakes, insects, and rodents, which would linger around the back window for a long time, which would be an admission of guilt!
After she finished cleaning, she jumped back into the house and closed the back window tightly!
However, the strong smell of blood in the room made her frown and ponder.
She quickly thought of something: the hair oil she wanted to buy for her mother!
That stuff smells amazing, and it leaves my hair feeling a bit oily when I put it on!
The most crucial thing is that what they are doing now is either fleeing or committing murder and arson. With this stuff on them, they will be very easy to be discovered!
So I put this thing at the bottom of the box!
So she quickly took this thing out from the bottom of the box, and then took out a set of clothes to change out of the blood-stained clothes she was wearing!
Wu Yun and Wu Juan, hurry up and change your clothes. Lin Ru reached out her hand, and the two obediently handed her their dirty clothes.
Lin Ru turned around, pretending to hide the clothes under the box, but actually put the bloodstained clothes into her spatial storage!
Finally, the four of them applied hair oil to their hair and muttered loudly that it was too hot inside, so they opened all the windows!
Only then could I finally relax and rest in bed!
But just as they lay down in bed, there was a loud knocking on the door!
"Open the door! Open the door!"
"The governor has been assassinated!"
"Someone saw the assassin heading this way!"
"Open the door right now, let us search!"
"If you don't open the door, you'll be punished the same way!"
"Open the door now! Or we'll kick it down!"
Lin Ru and the others pretended to have just woken up, sat up, and kept muttering, "What are you knocking for so late at night? Are you trying to kill us? Can't a person get any sleep?!"
The people outside are still banging on the door!
On the other side, Wu Ling and the others heard the commotion and quickly opened the door and came out!
They were a little unsure whether Lin Ru had returned, so they tried to stall for time as much as possible! They blocked Lin Ru and the others' doorway!
What are you guys doing here so late at night?
"Don't you know that there are only women inside! Are you all supposed to be harmonious? If you have a problem, why are you taking it out on us?"
"Are you trying to ruin the reputation of the Commandant's sworn sister by barging in like this?"
The leader sneered disdainfully!
"They're just a bunch of peasants, yet they act like young masters and misses!"
"Even if you guys were naked and standing in front of us, we wouldn't want to look at you!"
"Commander of the Prefecture... Heh... It's not even certain whether he's alive or not now!"
"I came here on the orders of the Prefect. I advise you to cooperate obediently and open the door for me right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Wu Ling stared coldly at the leader!
"How do you intend to be impolite?"
"Are you trying to kill me?"
"Aren't you afraid the prefectural commander will find out?"
The man had clearly lost his patience and was about to physically attack Wu Ling!
Wu Ling clenched his fists, ready to make a move!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Ru suddenly opened the door and came out, stopping the two from their actions!
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Could it be that they're getting revenge on us for what happened this morning?"
Why are you all so petty?
"Do you think we're easy to bully? Do you feel like we've lost our support after my brother left?"
"Let me tell you, if you move our people today, I'll go and complain to the prefect!"
"I'll see if he's on my side or yours!"
Those people seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. They had been guarding the governor closely for many years and naturally knew about his plan!
That Ji Wenxuan was nothing but a scapegoat!
They act like they're some high-ranking official!
It's really quite ridiculous!
He raised his hand to push the two of them aside!
Wu Ling was a step ahead of him, pulling Lin Ru aside to prevent him from bumping into her!
So these people got in successfully!
As soon as these people entered, they smelled a strong and pungent fragrance!
The smell gave them all a bit of a headache!
And why does this taste seem to have a hint of blood in it?
They took a deep breath, trying to discern the smells inside the room, but this almost made him vomit!
"Ugh~ What's that smell coming from your room?"
Bai pretended to look puzzled and sniffed hard!
"Sir! What's that smell? We can't smell it!"
Looking at Bai's simple-minded appearance, the man felt a surge of anger!
"It's that pungent smell!"
What are you doing in the house?
Bai smiled sheepishly, then took the hair oil from the dressing table.
She poured the hair oil into her hands, rubbed them together, and then applied it to the man in front of her.
"Is this what you mean? This is called hair oil, it smells amazing when you apply it! Sir, you should have some too!"
Bai was probably a little nervous, so he poured almost half a bottle into his hand!
These people were completely unprepared and were wiped clean!
They almost vomited from the stench! They quickly took a few steps back and retreated outside the door!
The leader pinched his nose and directed his two underlings to go in and investigate again!
He always felt there was something else about the room!
The two henchmen had no choice but to hold their noses and go inside!
The two of them flipped it over from left to right and looked at it from right to left!
They even took the box where the clothes were kept!
They had just opened the box and were about to rummage through it when Lin Ru sternly reprimanded them!
"Stop! What exactly are you looking for? Didn't you say assassins had arrived?"
"Could the assassin be hiding in one of our clothes boxes?"
"You're clearly making things difficult for me on purpose!"
"They opened it all, saw there was nothing inside, and still wanted to rummage through it!"
"What? You think we're easy to bully!?"
"If that assassin escapes because of your negligence, I wonder if you'll even see the sun rise tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, the leading man's face flashed with embarrassment!
He could only reluctantly give up!
"Alright! Come back, everyone!"
"We're not trying to conduct a more thorough search; it's also for your safety!"
"I hope you won't take offense!"
Lin Ru smiled sarcastically!
"You're joking, how could we possibly blame you?"
"After all, you are a favorite of the governor!"
"We're just country bumpkins!"
"But fortunes change!"
"I hope you won't regret what happened today!"
After saying that, she went back into the house first and slammed the door shut!
Wu Ling and the others quickly returned to their rooms and closed the doors tightly!
Only the guards remained, staring at each other in bewilderment!
