reckless detective

Chapter 390 Unparalleled Spectrum (13)

This sentence was like a thunderbolt thrown into the crowd. The onlookers whispered to each other, some cursed the conspiracy, some watched the show, and the most heated ones were the shopkeepers of the Wu family.

When did the family add such a lady?They neither knew nor wanted to acknowledge her.

"Master Wu...does he have a wife?" The magistrate expressed doubts.

"Of course there were none at the beginning. Which man is born with a wife? If he marries, he will have a wife."

This is obviously nonsense, so the magistrate had no choice but to say: "I mean, everyone doesn't know..."

"Do I know you?" Diao Ruyi interrupted him, looking around, she continued: "Since I don't know you, why should I let you know when I'm married?"

Now the magistrate can be regarded as having a taste of this woman's fangs and sharp mouth.

He decided not to argue with this woman, and got down to business: "Someone accuses the Wu family of hiding soldiers and horses for plotting to commit crimes, I'm here to investigate."

"Oh?" The smile in Diao Ruyi's eyes was playful, and she glanced around, "The Wu family does have soldiers and horses, but I'm not afraid of adults to investigate. It's just... I am afraid that adults are not qualified to step into the Wu residence. "

"presumptuous!"

The magistrate roared, and the sabers of the officers and soldiers behind him all unsheathed.

clang clang-

For a moment, the reflection of the saber shone brightly on the high walls of Wu Mansion.

Diao Ruyi seemed to be dazzled.She narrowed her eyes, but a deeper smile appeared on her face, as if the smile had been squeezed out of her eyes.

slam-la-

A group of officers and soldiers lined up behind Diao Ruyi, confronting the magistrate.

The number of officers and soldiers in this team is obviously smaller, but no matter the armor on their bodies, the weapons in their hands, or the coldness in their eyes, they are all a bit stronger.

They are not ordinary officers and soldiers.

"This..." The magistrate was a little uncertain.

Diao Ruyi continued: "After years of fighting, the treasury is empty. Don't you know the prefect? ​​Half a month ago, my family's husband, that is, Mr. Bai, donated all the Wu family's property, a total of [-] million taels of silver, to the capital. Although ten thousand taels of silver is not much, it has relieved the urgent need of the Holy Majesty. Therefore, the Holy Majesty issued a secret decree, ennobling my family's husband as the Marquis of Joy, saying "you must be happy when you are happy in life, don't let the golden cup be empty to the moon. I was born The material must be useful, and it will come back after all the gold is gone.' Meaning.

Although he was sealed as a Marquis, he was sealed in secret. Does the magistrate know the reason? "

"This……"

Diao Ruyi smiled, "Because it's not a glorious thing to have no money. Of course, the Holy Majesty doesn't want to make this public. Fortunately, the Wu family has always kept a low profile. Now that there is a commotion and the matter spreads, if the Holy Majesty finds out... I really do it for you. Worried head..."

Beads of sweat had already appeared on the forehead of the magistrate.

However, how could he be bluffed by the little girl if he could sit in the highest official position in the state capital.

He quickly calmed down, "Since this is the case, I have verified the imperial edict issued by Mr. Wu, so I will naturally give the Wu family an explanation."

"Alright."

As soon as Diao Ruyi finished speaking, the hale and hearty old housekeeper brought out a tray of huanghuali. On the tray was spread three layers of brocade, and on the brocade was a golden edict.

Outside the door, people who had never seen the emperor's edict all stood on tiptoe and stared wide-eyed, but the Wu family was not surprised, because the fabric used in this edict originally came from the Wu family.

But the old housekeeper and Diao Ruyi still showed due awe, Diao Ruyi put away the smile in his eyes.

The magistrate read the edict three times over and over again.

In fact, he had confirmed the first time that the edict was undoubtedly true.

But he needs time, he has to think about it, if what Diao Ruyi said really happens, how can he keep his head?
He decided to start with praise.

"I heard that Mr. Wu is good at business, but I didn't know that he also has such a generous and decent wife."

Hearing "generous and decent", Diao Ruyi smiled teasingly in his eyes.

Who doesn't know that she is the one who is most incompatible with this praise in the whole arena.I don't know how many elders of famous families scare their children with "if you don't obey me, you will marry Diao Ruyi as my wife".

Diao Ruyi perfunctoryly said to the magistrate's compliment: "It's getting late, if the magistrate is fine..."

Seeing that the order to evict the guests was issued, the magistrate rolled his eyes and found another plan.

"Because I heard that two assassins had come to the Wu residence, I decided to bring troops to support them. Now that the assassins are dead and the Wu residence is safe, I won't disturb you."

When it comes to assassins, Diao Ruyi is relentless.

She took a step forward and glanced around with a sweet smile, "It's really weird. Just now, my lord said he was here to investigate my Wu family, but now he says he's here to protect us... After all, my lord is an official, and I may still be in contact with you in the future." , I will not pursue it, but the assassin...has your lord found out who sent the assassin?"

"This……"

"It's up to you how much you're willing to spend on things. Let me make it clear first. I won't let them go."

While speaking, Diao Ruyi glanced around again, and some people couldn't stand it anymore.

It's really unlucky to be targeted by the eighth-ranked master on the Wushuang spectrum.

Beads of sweat appeared on the magistrate's forehead again, he bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will definitely catch those daring lunatics."

He looks down on the Wu Mansion a little bit. Buying an official from the emperor is not buying an official?Anyone who buys an official is a head shorter than those who have become officials with real skills in the past ten years.

But what he bought was not an official. His title was already outside the bureaucratic system, far nobler and more comfortable than him.

Therefore, he had to bow his head.

He cupped his hands and bowed his head until Diao Ruyi entered the door, until the gate of Wu Mansion closed with a bang.

As soon as the door was closed, Diao Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She put her arms around the neck of a maid beside her, and said coquettishly, "I won't do this kind of drudgery no matter how much I pay you."

The maid covered her mouth and smiled, "A drudgery job? But I clearly saw that you made the magistrate speechless."

"He's just a stupid magistrate, and I don't want to marry him. It's really boring to argue with him."

"Then you always said that you want to marry Mr. Wu, and now you are really married, you should be happy?"

"A woman who can't sleep with me, what can I be happy about?"

"It seems that you have been wronged."

"I'm so wronged."

"Then how can you not be wronged?"

"No matter what, because Mr. Wu is already dead." While speaking, Diao Ruyi reached out and pinched the maid's face twice, "I have seen Mr. Wu who is happy, Mr. Wu who is angry, and Mr. Wu who is male. Eldest Young Master, this is the first time I've seen the dead Young Master Wu."

The maid looked serious, her eyes were full of apology, "For that matter, you have married Mr. Wu once in name, if you want to find someone to marry in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

"Hee hee hee..." Diao Ruyi raised his left hand, and in the palm of his left hand lay a bright red scorpion.With his right hand, he took out another black scorpion from the small bamboo bucket tied to his thigh.

The black scorpion is twice the size of the red scorpion, and the armor looks stronger, but the black scorpion seems to be very afraid of the red scorpion.

As soon as the two worms met, the black scorpion ran straight back along Diao Ruyi's wrist.

The red scorpion was even faster, catching up to it in a few strokes, stabbing with its poisonous tail, and piercing through the black scorpion's carapace with one blow.

Almost at the same time, Black Scorpion was completely stiff on all fours.

poison!It's too poisonous!
The red scorpion circled the black scorpion with great interest.

With a flick of its pincers, it pulled the black scorpion's tail with its venomous stinger, and ate it together with the stinger.

After it finished eating, Diao Ruyi swallowed the rest whole.

The maid had long been surprised by her behavior, and was still waiting for her next words.

After Diao Ruyi finished laughing and eating, she smacked her mouth again before continuing, "I think there are more people who want to marry me than before."

"Oh?"

"Although I am a widow, I am the widow of Mr. Wu after all. Marrying such a widow not only does not lose my position, but also has a lot of face. It seems that I have the same ability as Mr. Wu. You say, those wily guys will Don't you really want to marry me?"

"Something makes sense."

"Furthermore, not only have I become the head of the Wu family, I have a lot of money, and I am also a Marquis. Marrying me, besides saving face, I also have real money to take advantage of..."

The maid lowered her head and said, "But the more you say that, the more I feel that I owe you..."

"It's too outlandish for you to tell me this. You saved my life. Now that the Wu family is in trouble, you have to feign death. Wu is trapped outside by mistake. Although you donated most of your family's wealth, but I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Wu family, at this time, who will help you if I don't help you?"

The maid wanted to say something more, but Diao Ruyi said again: "What's wrong? Mr. Wu, who turned his hands over like clouds and rained his hands, actually started to care about it?

It is different after dying once, but living more meticulously.

Come on, I'm not entangled with you, the people who intercepted and killed Yan Ruyu along the way have already been arranged, I have to keep an eye on it, so that nothing goes wrong. "

While speaking, she had already ridden on the white wolf and entered the secret passage leading to the outside of Wu Mansion.

Jiujiang County.

The restaurant where Yan Ruyu rested.

When Yan Ruyu took the head of Mr. Wu and a basket of ice bought by his buddy to the road, Diao Ruyi turned back.

She gave a pill to Ghost Jianchou and Wuyou Zhenren who fell to the ground.

After the elixir melted, the strong Gui Jianchou woke up first.

As soon as he woke up, the reckless man praised the elixir.

"As expected of everyone who used poison, the girl brought the dead back to life, I will never forget it, I really admire it!"

Diao Ruyi cupped his hands at him, "I have wronged you."

She handed over another pill of the same kind, "The Wu family owes you your life-saving help. I am very grateful. I will send you a pill that can cure all kinds of poisons. You may need it in the future... Let's talk about it."

Gui Jianchou scratched the back of his head and laughed, "Young Master Wu has saved my life, but it's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents... Hey! It's my honor to have the opportunity to repay him... I shouldn't want the favor of the girl, but I really like this pill..."

Diao Ruyi put the pill in his hand, "It's time to go, you won't be able to go when my wolf is hungry."

Gui Jianshou's expression changed drastically, and he ran out of the restaurant in three steps at a time.

Ghost Jianchou walked for a long time, but Wuyou did not wake up.

Could it be...it was too late to save?

Diao Ruyi murmured in her heart: This old man is old and weak, don't pretend to be dead here.

She stepped forward to check, and just reached out her hand, wanting to feel the pulse of Master Wuyou.

whoosh-

Master Wuyou's hands, as thin as chicken feet, suddenly flipped over, pinching Diao Ruyi's life gate.

slam-la-

A large silver net fell from the room, and it caught Diao Ruyi, Red Scorpion, and Black Snake tightly.

There was another person who fell with the big net.

A young man in white.

Diao Ruyi didn't see the young man's appearance clearly, but only felt that he was exuding joy.

As soon as he landed, he didn't speak, and first circled around her three times, with brisk steps, like dancing.

When Diao Ruyi searched for countermeasures, the red scorpion kept attacking the silver net with its claws, and the black snake also opened its mouth wide and bit the silver net several times.

"Don't make them work hard, this net is made of ice silk produced in the extreme north, invulnerable to weapons and poisons."

As soon as the other party spoke, the unconcealed greed in his voice made her sick.

If it wasn't for being bound by the net, Diao Ruyi would have been able to hold back her nausea and answer a few words with him.

But now she was not only caught by the net, but also rubbed her face on the dirty floor, and almost gnawed a mouthful of dirt on the floor, she was really angry.

She doesn't want to talk when she gets angry.

She was angry and just wanted to punch someone.

"You are the same as back then, nothing has changed."

Diao Ruyi's neck felt cold and she passed out.

When she woke up again, she was already in a comfortable carriage.

Diao Ruyi was lying on the car, her eyes were covered by a black cloth, and her hands and feet were tied.

She stretched her body so that she didn't touch the walls of the carriage.

What a big carriage!
She heard the sound of galloping horseshoes outside the car, but could hardly feel the bumps.

Not only is it big, but it's also stable!

The velvet cushions spread out under the body are thick and soft, and there is a delicate fragrance.Diao Ruyi remembered this smell. The most famous spice merchant in the capital, Shirenju, had this smell as the most expensive spice in it.

For a moment, she even felt that she was back on Mr. Wu's carriage.

Mr. Wu's carriage is also so spacious, stable and luxurious.

But faintly, Diao Ruyi also smelled a smell.

A smell of a man.

Whether a man is good or bad, she only needs to smell it to know.A good man smells good, but a bad man smells bad.

At this time, although the best spices were used in the car, it still couldn't hide the stench.

"Where are you going?" Diao Ruyi cherishes words like gold when facing someone she doesn't like.

"You finally woke up."

It's a worry-free real person.

"I know, you don't want to talk to me, how can a master like Miss Diao, who can enter the top ten of Wushuang spectrum, think of me as a bastard?"

"The real person was joking. I will have to look more often in the future and be more careful, so as not to fall into the hole you dug. It's not good to be calculated by others."

"It doesn't matter if the girl ridicules me or looks down on me, I just want to tell the girl that I won't harm you, and I do all of this... for your own good."

Diao Ruyi almost burst out laughing.

However, Wuyou Daoist's next sentence made her laugh again.

"I heard that Mr. Wu suspended his death?"

"Who did you hear?"

"Naturally he is his enemy."

"She has only friends, no enemies."

Wuyou smiled, "I don't know if he has friends, but he must have enemies."

"Oh?"

"For example, he saved my life back then and was my benefactor. This is tantamount to offending the person who wanted me to die."

"Oh—" Diao Ruyi nodded, "In this way, she has quite a few enemies. I don't know which enemy told you that she is not dead yet."
