After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 17 Uprooted

Liandie thought that since she told "Lou Xiyue" everything she knew yesterday, she would be safe and sound.

She even thought optimistically that she would be free after the plague god had fulfilled his goal and left Lianzhuang.At that time, she would find an excuse and ask Lianzhuang's guards to arrest the smelly woman and torture her severely.

As a result, just after the day's teaching ended, "Lou Xiyue" made another excuse to stay!

Liandie turned her head and saw "Lou Xiyue" closing the door gently with that beautiful face on her face, and immediately felt a tingling sensation in her scalp.

She was really scared of this woman.

Liandie took a step back and said vigilantly: "What are you doing here again? I've already told you everything I know. What else do you want? Give me the antidote, or I'll really call a guard!"

Ban Xiyu didn't say anything, and threw a small package directly on the table: "This is part of the reward I gave. Miss Liandie, I still need your help with one thing."

Liandie quit: "I tell you, you can't threaten me twice for the same thing! I—"

Ban Xiyu opened the package in front of her, and it was full of gold and silver treasures brought by Wen Jisheng, Liandie's eyes widened in an instant.

She swallowed, her eyes greedy.She took a deep breath and said, "What's the matter, tell me."

There was a firmness in Ban Xiyu's eyes that was bound to win.

She said: "I would like to ask you to open the small door of Lianzhuang's backyard at three quarters tonight."

Liandie: "What do you want to do?"

"You don't need to worry about this. In short, if you do what I say, the benefits will naturally be indispensable to you." Ban Xiyu said: "When the time comes, you will..."

*
The day's teaching ended as usual, and Ban Xiyu followed the rules and returned to the house, waiting from dusk until night fell.

When everything was silent, Ban Xiyu heard a "cuckoo" bird call coming from outside the window.

This is a signal sent by Wen Jisheng.

Ban Xiyu immediately found the black clothes that Wen Jisheng had prepared in advance from under the bed, and after changing, she went out with the clothes she carried close to her.

Wen Jisheng had already taken care of it beforehand, and the guards in the garden had fallen into a coma at this moment.

Therefore, Ban Xiyu followed the plan smoothly and sneaked into the firewood room with the fire bag.When the moon was dark and the wind was high, the ball of sparks ignited the dry firewood in the woodshed.

It didn't take long for a single spark to start a prairie fire, and Ban Xiyu witnessed with his own eyes that the little sparks spread into a boundless fire.

At the same time, even the servants in the village were awakened by the soaring flames and scorching heat.

They ran out screaming: "Come on, come on, it's flooded, put out the fire, put out the fire!"

This group of people was noisy, and all the sleeping people were woken up at once.

After Ban Xiyu created the chaos, he immediately followed the path to the small door opened by Liandie.

At this time, even the whole village was busy looking for water to put out the fire, and no one cared about the secluded place in the backyard.

That's why Ban Xiyu was able to travel unimpeded all the way.

It was at this time that the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside Lianzhuang.

Ban Xiyu looked up and could even see clusters of torches burning outside the high wall.Those torches surrounded Lianzhuang, and someone was shouting:

"The death row prisoner is hiding in this courtyard, quickly surround him, the death row prisoner cannot be released, and he must be arrested tonight!"

At this moment, Ban Xiyu's heart beat like a drum, and she thought, "It's finally here!"

*
It was also at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time the sky and the earth were in a dull darkness, with only a few scattered stars in the sky.Liandie was afraid of being discovered, so she covered the lantern with a black cloth.

With this faint light, she stumbled all the way to the small gate that Ban Xiyu had mentioned.

Lian Die murmured in her heart, whether the plan "Lou Xiyue" said would work, would she be discovered by Lu Chong's people, and then be caught and killed?
Then he secretly scolded "Lou Xiyue" for being unfaithful and brazen, cheating her with gold and silver money many times, and even threatening her life.

If it wasn't for the sake of those treasures, how could she have listened to that woman so much and came here without rest in the middle of the night?

If the narrow-minded Lu Chong found out, her nine lives would not be enough to kill her.

Liandie cursed softly, then carefully opened the small door——

However, the moment she opened the door, a black shadow rushed in hastily.The man was dressed in tatters, his face was dirty, and his hair was messy, with a few grasses stuck in it.

Liandie was startled, and quickly stepped back a few steps: "You, you stay away from me!"

How could that person care about these things? When he saw Lian Die, he hurriedly said: "You are the Lu Yuanwai who sent me to meet me? Stop talking nonsense, take me in quickly, find a place to hide, and the people behind will come after me immediately !"

As the man said, he rushed in: "By the way, you should quickly inform Officer Lu that I'm here. Tell him to come see me quickly."

Love Butterfly: "..."

She couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking, what about Lu Yuanwai, where did this Lianzhuang come from? It's probably "Lou Xiyue" who partnered with the person behind her to deceive this guy.

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the "Lou Xiyue" gourd.As long as he hides this person in Lianzhuang, he can attract the officials of Quchuan Mansion and uproot the power of Lianzhuang and Lu Chong?

Even if she was killed, she would not believe it.

The Lu family covered the sky with one hand in Quchuan Mansion, even if the official came, could they still catch the official?

Liandie's heart pounded, secretly regretting helping "Lou Xiyue".

But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside Lianzhuang, as if a large number of people were rushing towards this side.

At the same time, a flame soaring into the sky suddenly ignited on the other side of Lianzhuang.The flames seemed to be swallowing the sky, and they were attacking in all directions!

Liandie was startled when she saw it: What's going on?Was it made by "Lou Xiyue"?

Even if she was still in shock, the man next to her panicked.

The man retreated again and again, and immediately ran to the courtyard in a hurry.

Lian Die didn't have time to stop her, only to hear someone outside slamming loudly on the closed door:
"The government investigates the case, open the door quickly!"

At that moment, Liandie felt dizzy for a while.

Did you really let that woman count?Did he really attract the people from the government?
But why?
Lian Die's mind was in a mess, and when she didn't understand the situation, the officials from outside broke in!

Just hearing a "bang", the fragile little door was kicked open!

At the same time, more than a dozen officials rushed in.

Lian Die turned her head sharply and took a closer look, only to see a man of medium build striding over among the crowd of officials.His eyes are as sharp as eagles, he looked at Liandie and asked:

"Where is that traitor Lu Zhong?!"

*
After Ban Xiyu lit the fire in the firewood room neatly, he was about to leave here immediately.But when she passed the small garden on the way, she was suddenly pulled behind the rockery by a hand!
There was an alarm bell in her heart, and she was about to struggle, but she heard the other party say: "It's me, it's me, don't do it!"

Ban Xiyu: "..." She pushed Wen Jisheng away, distanced herself from him, and said seriously, "Please show some respect and don't move."

Wen Jisheng silently let go of his hand: "Sorry."

He felt strange, the current "Lou Xiyue" seemed to be quite unfamiliar with him.But he didn't take this matter to heart for the time being, he just suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said:

"It's really thanks to your clever plan, otherwise things wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

At that time, the two of them were discussing how to deal with Lu Zhong and Lu Yuanwai. It was Ban Xiyu who proposed to use Zhou Zhifu's upright personality to lure people from Quchuan Mansion to Lianzhuang.

She wants to go to the prison of Quchuan Mansion at night, and use the name of Lu Yuanwai to rescue the death row prisoner inside, and let the death row prisoner flee all the way to Lianzhuang, claiming that Lu Yuanwai has a way to exonerate him from the death penalty, but only if there is a deal.

In order to save his life, the death row prisoner was really fooled, and immediately ran towards Lianzhuang.

After the death row prisoner was released, Wen Jisheng immediately notified the Quchuan government office, deliberately disclosing this matter to the prefect of Zhou.

Zhou Zhifu heard that Lu Yuanwai had an affair with the imperial court, he was furious, and immediately brought people over.

But Ban Xiyu bribed Liandie, successfully brought the death row prisoner into Lianzhuang, and proved Lu Chong's crime of robbing the prison and harboring criminals.

Not only that, she also set fire to create chaos in Lianzhuang, and relaxed the vigilance inside and outside the manor, which made the plan succeed.

During this process, Wen Jisheng used his agility and lightness skills to quickly release the dumb poison from the sacrificial brides.

As soon as Zhou Zhifu arrives, all of Lu Zhong's plans will be made public, and the innocent woman here will be successfully rescued.

At that time, when I heard the sound of silence and first heard about this plan, I felt that it was very subtle.

In the past, he would never have imagined that "Lou Xiyue" would be a person who is good at using resourcefulness!
I really underestimated Lou Xiyue before.

Wen Jisheng thought that this was the end of what they were going to do, and for the follow-up progress, they only needed to sacrifice the brides to testify one by one, and the prefect of Zhou would be able to arrest Lu Chong, and the purpose of their trip would be completed.

So he paused and said:

"The prefect Zhou has led troops to chase after her. I will also remove the dumb poison from the sacrificed bride in Zhuangzi. It's time for us to leave."

Ban Xiyu's sacrificial bride is a fake, and she is also a bride who fled from the Ban family. If someone from the government finds out, it will be more troublesome to deal with.

She wasn't going to show up, but she wasn't going to just leave either.

She didn't see Lu Chong Fufa with her own eyes, so she was not at ease: "Let's go and have a look."

Wen Jisheng had no choice but to follow.

*
Here, Zhou Zhifu was full of anger, and led a group of subordinates to search the inside and outside of the village.

A moment later, there were people kneeling on the ground in front of him, including maids and maids and guards from the village.

And most importantly, those young women who are frightened and beautiful.

He asked in a deep voice: "What's going on here! Where did these girls come from, please explain to me one by one!"

Liandie was startled, and quickly knelt down and cried, explaining: "My lord, please forgive me. It has nothing to do with my little girl, and my little girl is also implicated! These women were all kidnapped by Lu Chong from various villages. Train them to be outstanding singing girls and dancing girls, and send them to curry favor with a nobleman in Linzhou!"

She turned her head and told Zhou Zhifu about Lu Zhong's plan to "sacrifice the mountain god".She said that the "gods' wrath" that appeared in various villages were all caused by Lu Zhong's subordinates. There was no mountain god at all, and there was no so-called punishment from heaven.

Lu Zhong asked Lu Yuanwai for Lianzhuang to take in those sacrificial brides.And those women who have been trained will be sent to Linzhou when they turn around.

Lian Die said: "Although I was invited by Lu Zhong to teach these girls, I have never participated in Lu Zhong's plan. I am just a weak woman, and I have to succumb to Lu Zhong's influence!"

After the words fell, the sacrifice brides kneeling all over the ground burst into tears and begged: "Please be the master for us, save our lives! Please be the master!"

Zhou Zhifu looked at the crying women in front of him with heavy eyes, his brows were tightly furrowed.

He said: "Where is Lu Zhong? Bring him here!"

The officer below immediately escorted Lu Zhong, who was bound all over, from the inner hall: "The prisoner is here!"

Lu Zhong who was caught was still cursing: "Good Zhou Qin, you dare to come to Lianzhuang to make trouble and even arrest me, you don't want to live, do you! Let me go, or I—"

The official kicked Lu Zhong's knee hard. Lu Zhong felt the pain and immediately knelt down: "You!"

Liandie was so frightened that she forgot to cry.She widened her eyes, and couldn't wait to say what Ban Xiyu told her:
"There is also this death row prisoner, who was also sent by Lu Chong and asked me to take care of him. He said that there was a business to cooperate with the death row prisoner, and he was specially fished out of prison!"

As she said that, Lian Die kowtowed heavily, and said: "That's all my little girl knows. My little girl knows that she is guilty of helping the tyrant. But all of this is forced by Lu Zhong, and my little girl has no choice but to do it. I beg you My lord, please forgive me!"

Hearing this, Lu Zhong was startled and angry: "What nonsense, bitch! When did I cooperate with the death row prisoner? When did I ask you to take care of him? Damn, bitch, how dare you talk nonsense! One sentence, I want your life!"

Lian Die cried until the makeup on her face was stained: "I'm not talking nonsense, the death row prisoner is here, if you have doubts, you might as well ask him!"

At this time, the death row prisoner also said: "Master Zhou, this matter really has nothing to do with me. I stayed in the prison well, but it turned out that this man's uncle, Yuanwai Lu, sent people to the prison to arrest me. He fished it out and said he could pardon the death penalty for me, as long as I promise to do one thing for them, I can get a lot of money and live in seclusion in the mountains.”

He immediately blamed me and said, "I never thought about escaping from prison. They forced me. My lord, I know I was wrong. I am willing to go back. You can arrest me and go back. For the sake of my voluntary confession, Please be merciful, or spare my life, and I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I will definitely repay you!"

Lu Zhong yelled: "You are talking nonsense, nonsense! Dog, dare to frame me, you wait, I—"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Zhifu interrupted angrily: "Shut up!"

He took a deep breath and said, "Take the two of them back and wait for interrogation!"

Zhou Qin said again: "There are also these women, who have also been taken back and resettled. In addition, an order will be sent down to arrest all those who have connections with Lianzhuang! As for Miss Liandie...you stay as a witness. Wait until the case is cleared up before leaving."

Liandie was exhausted: "Yes..."

*
In the dark, Wen Jisheng pulled Ban Xiyu: "The matter is settled, let's go quickly."

"Ah."

Ban Xiyu followed behind him, and the two left Lianzhuang through the small hidden door behind.
