first minister

Chapter 110

The yelling and killing were gradually lost to hearing, and Lu Yi, who was on the back, finally looked at the inconspicuous shop in front of him and spoke.

"arrive!"

Panting like a cow, Xia Jingyun, who felt like he had dug ten wells in one breath, took out the key and opened an inconspicuous door.

"Pass through the shop and go to the backyard. There is a coir raincoat hanging in the bedroom. The round wooden stake on which the coir raincoat is hung is twisted to the right."

Good guy, so well prepared!
Xia Jingyun found the coir raincoat and twisted the stake.

A gap slid open in the wall, and a gleam of light poured out from it.

"Mr. Lu, is that you?"

Xia Jingyun stared at the woman who got up and came, and immediately froze in place.

When the woman opposite saw him, the joy on her face froze instantly.

Lu Yi coughed weakly, with doubts on his face, "Do you know each other?"

"After Brother Su rescued Mrs. Luo, he knew that the matter might be exposed. For her safety, he secretly handed her over to me."

"Brother Su was imprisoned for this incident, and he is still in the state prison, waiting to be dealt with."

Lu Yi sat at the table, weakly leaning against the wall, and told the story.

Xia Jingyun looked at the sad, haggard and desolate Luo Sushi who no longer had the domineering appearance in front of him, and felt in his heart that the world was impermanent.

Who would have thought that such an upright and capable Master Su would have such a vicious and capable elder sister.

The same pair of parents can give birth to such a contrasting pair of siblings.

The most impermanent thing is that he personally broke Luo Su's conspiracy and sent her to the prison.

It was he who went to see Su Yuanshang again, and was appreciated by the other party because of this, and talked at night by candlelight.

Also because of this candle-lit night talk, he was approached by Lu Yi, hoping to help him protect the person Su Yuanshang handed over to him during this war, and the person he wanted to protect was precisely the Luo Su family who was sent to prison by himself.

At this moment, not only was he in a daze, but Luo Su's was also in a daze.

In just half a month, her emotional experience was more ups and downs than many people's lifetime.

It was a good day, but the scandal was exposed by the daughter-in-law, and I was terrified all night, but fortunately, I thought of a solution.

Everything was well thought out, and when the court was about to win a big victory, someone stepped in, making all her wishful thinking come to naught, and the background of the Su family that she was so proud of was also useless.

Entering that dirty and rotten prison, although she didn't suffer any additional humiliation, the fear and fear still tortured her so much that she wished she could die.

Just when she was about to despair, Adi came. He not only rescued herself, but also gently comforted her that everything would pass, handed her over to Lu Yi, and secretly returned to Yueyang City. At this time, she was happy, even with a bit of complacency and arrogance.

But when Lu Yi told her that Brother had risked his career and future in order to save her, she was completely dumbfounded, shocked, regretted, and then blamed herself.

She wanted to surrender to the court in exchange for forgiveness from the court, but Lu Yi told her that it was too late, and even if she went out, the court would not just pretend that nothing happened, on the contrary, both ends were not settled.

She was so ashamed that she wanted to commit suicide, but she was persuaded by Lu Yi, who told her that her younger brother had bought her life with a bright future, and that to die like this was to be sorry for his efforts.

After calming down, she began to recall the little things from childhood to adulthood, and reflected on how she became the ghost she is now step by step, and then harmed brother's life.

After a thorough understanding, she planned to turn over a new leaf and be a good person, which would not be in vain for Brother's painstaking efforts. At this time, Lu Yi told her that he might die, and told her to be prepared, and she might have to follow others.

Tonight, she was terrified for most of the night, and finally saw Lu Yi, but additionally saw Xia Jingyun, the entourage next to Mr. Bai who exposed her conspiracy.

A kind of uneasiness and fear engulfed her again in an instant, and she clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, not daring to speak.

Seeing the appearance of the two, Lu Yi coughed heavily, as if he was about to speak, but his vision darkened, and he fell headlong over there.

Xia Jingyun hurriedly reached out to support Lu Yi, looked at Luo Sushi, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I didn't come here to trouble you. The most urgent thing now is to heal his injuries first. He said he prepared a medicine box here, and I'll fetch water. Can you change her medicine?"

Luo Su nodded quickly.

Although Lu Yi looks rough and bold, he is really meticulous and reliable in his work. In this small secret room, there are two water tanks, one for clean water and the other for waste water.

If there is a real situation, a person will not be in danger of life if he stays inside for ten days and half a month.

Xia Jingyun called for clean water to wash Lu Yi's wound, and then assisted Luo Su's to change the dressing.

Luo Su's family also gradually relaxed in such an environment. After wrapping Lu Yi into a rice dumpling, she finally plucked up the courage to look at Xia Jingyun, "Young Master, it was indeed my mistake that caused my younger brother to suffer, and my heart is filled with remorse. For the rest of my life, I am willing to change my mind and do good deeds to atone for my sins. But if Young Master wants to arrest me, I will have no complaints."

After finishing speaking, she bowed respectfully to Xia Jingyun.

Xia Jingyun was silent for a moment, "I saw injustice that day, and the person that day was brought to justice and imprisoned, so what happened later has nothing to do with me."

Luo Su burst into tears, "Thank you, my lord."

Xia Jingyun had thousands of words stuck in his heart, but in the end he just shook his head, "No need."

Lu Yiyou woke up, looked at his injuries, and smiled at Luo Sushi, "Thank you."

Luo Su saluted, and still sat on the stool beside him a little uneasy.

Lu Yi looked at Xia Jingyun again, and twitched the corner of his mouth weakly, "The good news is that you saved me, and I don't need you to help me take care of Mrs. Luo from now on."

Xia Jingyun said calmly, "What about the bad news?"

"The bad news is that you are about to cause two disasters and send the two of us out of the city."

"Hey!" Xia Jingyun scolded, "How can I have a friend like you!"

Lu Yi smiled, "I'm also thinking, how can I have a friend like you."

"Can't you stay here for ten days and half a month and go by yourself?"

"You underestimate the ability of these underground gangs. Now it's my family in Nancheng who betrayed me. They all know me well. As long as I stay here, within three days, I will be found out. Even if the rain outside washes away all the blood, it's useless."

"Let me think."

Xia Jingyun rubbed his chin and thought for a long time, "Tell me about the fight tonight, what happened? I'll see if I can find a way out of it."

Lu Yi didn't hold back, and didn't shy away from Luo Su's family, "It's very simple, something happened to the head of the family, the eldest lady's prestige is not enough, the second room and the third room are fighting for the head of the house, the underground gangs like Yue Yang are very lucrative, and they don't feel bad when they die, so this is the first battle."

"Are you from the third room?"

"I used to be a knight-errant. I wasn't even a knight-errant. I was just a rascal. Later, I met Brother Su. He was a few years older than me. He gave me a lot of advice and taught me how to read and write. Brother Su followed the path of the third master, so I naturally became a member of the third bedroom."

"So, the second room of the Su family is much more powerful than the third room?"

"Originally, the two sides were similar, but later, because Brother Su was imprisoned, the position of Qingshan county guard was given to Sifang, who was Erfang's follower, and all of Sanfang's properties in Qingshan County were assigned to Sifang.

Hearing these inside stories, Xia Jingyun's familiar and weird feeling became more and more intense, "Can you tell me about the Su family you know?"

"Miss Su is really beautiful."

Xia Jingyun rolled his eyes.

Lu Yi stopped joking, "In the territory of Yunmeng State, the signboard of the Su family is second only to the imperial court, and even in some places, it is better than the imperial court. The Su family has two families, with a hundred years of accumulation, and their clansmen are spread all over Yunmeng State. The Su family is down and Yunmeng is shaken. This sentence is not just a joke by others."

"The Su family's most powerful power should have been when Mr. Su was still in the prime minister. At that time, the power of the Su family spread all over the world. Later, Prime Minister Qin came to power, and after a year or two, he gradually showed his fangs and began to cut off the minions of the Su family. The Su family slowly retreated to Yunmeng State. When the old Mr. Su asked for peace with his death, the Su family's reputation plummeted."

"But in Yunmeng State, no one dares to underestimate it. Tens of thousands of clansmen, thousands of clan soldiers, incalculable wealth and property, and contacts accumulated over a century of business, etc., are all profound backgrounds that other big clans can't match."

Xia Jingyun nodded, "How is the Su family doing?"

"Of course there are things that bully others, but in general, they are considered benevolent. Relief for disaster victims, building roads and bridges, donating to schools, these things are often done. The title of Miss Su's Dongting Pearl was not given by the Su family itself, but by the people of Yueyang. It is very clear what the people want."

Xia Jingyun hummed, and had a clearer understanding of the Su family's situation, "Then what do you think of this Su family's accident?"

"Obviously someone is causing trouble. The third master said it was the second master, and I think it looks like the second master. Everyone also said that it was the second master, but the second master should not be so obvious."

Lu Yi laughed at himself, "But I'm just an inconspicuous servant of the Su family. How would I know the real secret of the Su family!"

Xia Jingyun asked again: "Then do you know if there is anything going on in this city recently that we can use?"

Lu Yi shook his head, "There's nothing going on in the city, just a big one recently, the Su family's winter solstice banquet, that's six days later."

Xia Jingyun patted his thighs and stood up melancholy, "Okay, then you guys just stay here, I'll go back and figure out what to do. I'll pick you up at the door of this shop the next day."

"Why not tomorrow?"

Xia Jingyun said speechlessly: "I have to make a good plan and get ready! You're still chattering, believe it or not, I just waved my hands and refused to help?"

Lu Yi clasped his fists to beg for mercy, then said seriously: "Be careful when you go out. The people in your inn have seen me, pay attention to the news."

Xia Jingyun hummed, "Brother Chen will pick me up at the door. Let's go."

After speaking, he glanced at Luo Sushi again, sighed softly, turned on the mechanism, and walked out of the dark room.

Seeing the secret door close again, Luo Su looked at Lu Yi, "Will he come back?"

Lu Yi smiled, "Yes."

"So sure?"

Lu nodded, "Because we are friends."

Xia Jingyun carefully whistled through the door, and there was a low sound from the door.

Concentrated, he slowly opened the door.

Chen Fugui was covered in blood, looked at Xia Jingyun's worried eyes, grinned, and said in a low voice, "Other people's."

Xia Jingyun heaved a sigh of relief, and followed him towards Kuixing Tower.

Bai Yunbian was already waiting in the carriage, and the four of them drove slowly towards the inn.

Chen Fugui and Baiyunbian's guards were driving the car. Xia Jingyun sat in the car and told Baiyunbian about the method he had just thought of.

Bai Yunbian rolled his eyes to the sky after hearing this, "Yun Jingxia, can you be a little bit self-aware, you are ashamed to ask this kind of request, who do you take me for?"

Xia Jingyun said earnestly: "I regard you as a gentleman of today's age who is righteous, heroic, chivalrous and courageous.

He sighed, "It seems that I was wrong."

"No, you read that right."

Bai Yunbian said with a straight face, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Outside the carriage, his guard held his forehead speechlessly.
