After Bao Laihan and Jing Ruyi had breakfast, they wandered around the yard as usual.
Ever since the Dali Temple Minister rebelled, Jing Ruyi has been in a bad mood.
The physical injuries were secondary. The key was that there was no hope of revenge and the evidence was still taken away.
This made Jing Ruyi's heart darken, as if she had lost hope in life.
Although Bao Lai was hard, he felt very good. He should eat and drink when he should, and he often comforted Jing Ruyi and carried out the dog-licking action to the end.
Jing Ruyi was in a bad mood and turned a blind eye to Bao Lai's efforts to please her.
Most of the time, she actually knows Bao Laijiang's thoughts, but she doesn't like cowardly people, and she only has a brother-sister relationship with Bao Laijiang.
"Brother Lai Jian, what do you think their purpose was in rescuing us?" Jing Ruyi glanced around and asked in a low voice after finding that no one was watching.
Hearing this question, Bao Laijian was a little nervous. He looked around and responded in a low voice: "Ruyi, I don't think they have any malicious intentions. If they were Yan Song's people, they would have killed us long ago. Why bother to go to the Dali Temple prison?"
Inside, how about rescuing us?"
"But...why has no one come to us?" Jing Ruyi was a little excited and said, "Could this be a conspiracy? Just like Song Zheng, what do you want from us?"
"I don't think so. The blood letters and evidence were all confiscated by them, and we don't have anything valuable on us... Ruyi, what do you want to do with so much?"
"As the old saying goes, the boat will go straight to the bridge. The accommodation and food here are good. We should eat and drink. Isn't it better than wandering around?"
Bao Lai stretched himself and said calmly.
"You...you, you, you..." Jing Ruyi was so angry that she couldn't speak. She was obviously living under someone else's roof, but she was forced to say that she was being treated as a soft meal.
"Okay, Ruyi, just take it one day at a time!" Bao Laijian consoled him.
"Huh!" Jing Ruyi snorted softly, turned away, and ignored Bao Lai.
At this moment, the boy who had been cleaning the floor suddenly came over.
"Two distinguished guests, the master invites you."
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two people changed. They looked at each other and thought in their hearts: It's finally here!
"Lead...lead the way!" Jing Ruyi forced herself to calm down and said.
"Please follow me." The boy nodded and walked towards the front hall.
Bao Laijian and Jing Ruyi followed the young man through the corridor garden and walked to the front hall.
"Master, two distinguished guests have arrived." The boy saluted respectfully.
The leader was a young man with an imposing manner and a handsome face.
"Well, you go down first!" The man waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The boy withdrew.
Jing Ruyi and Bao Laijian were intimidated by this man's aura, and for a moment they didn't dare to speak.
The young man smiled slightly, calmed down all his aura, and said gently: "Don't be formal, sit down."
Jing Ruyi bit her lip, without sitting down, she knelt down and saluted, "Young Master, I hope you can show your respect."
Seeing Jing Ruyi kneeling down, Bao Laijian also knelt down and shouted: "Master, spare your life! We no longer dare to seek revenge from Yan Song. We just want to go home now and beg Master to give us a way out."
"We promise to keep it secret and never come to the capital again."
Hearing this, the young man glanced at Bao Laijiang, looked at Jing Ruyi, and asked, "Don't you want revenge too?"
As soon as these words came out, Jing Ruyi's face changed, her eyes were full of entanglement and struggle, and she didn't speak.
Seeing this, Bao Laijian became anxious. He pulled Jing Ruyi's sleeve and whispered: "Ruyi, the situation is stronger than the person. Speak quickly! Speak!"
Jing Ruyi's eyes turned red, she bit her lip, struggled to speak: "Yes, we... don't want revenge..."
After saying one sentence, Jing Ruyi seemed to have lost all her strength, collapsed and lost her soul.
Bao Lai breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed quickly: "Master, we don't want to take revenge anymore. We don't dare to deal with Yan Song anymore."
The young master shook his head and said: "It is not the intention of a man to harm a tiger, but a tiger is harmful to the human heart!"
"If you didn't find Song Zheng and lived your whole life in anonymity, you could still stay out of it, but from the moment you meet Song Zheng, you won't be able to get away."
"Song Zheng was Yan Song's apprentice. He received Yan Song's support along the way and took the position of Minister of Dali Temple. You took the blood letter and evidence to him to sue Yan Song and asked him to personally remove his reliance. What should you say?
Courageous? Or ignorant?"
Hearing this, the package was as hard as falling into an ice cellar. His whole body began to tremble unconsciously, and he murmured: "What can I do? What can I do..."
On the contrary, Jing Ruyi's face showed a trace of blood, and she said with a sad smile: "People die like a lamp going out, things change! In the past, Master Song was a close friend of my father. Back then, he went to the capital to take the imperial examination.
It’s still money funded by my father.”
"But now, my father died unjustly, but he wants to kill me, haha..."
Listening to Jing Ruyi's words, Zhu Youji shook his head and scolded in a cold voice: "Stupid!"
"It's so naive. In the officialdom, officials protect each other and are intricately connected. How can it be so simple?"
"Who are you dealing with?"
"The chief minister of the dynasty, the cabinet bachelor, is the one who truly has all the power in the dynasty!"
"Don't say that Song Zheng is from the Yan Party. Even if he is from another party, he is determined not to offend Yan Song. He does not dare to offend the chief minister for you two common people!"
"It was wrong for you to go to Song Zheng from the very beginning."
"Big mistake!"
Hearing Zhu Youji's words, Jing Ruyi suddenly raised her head, stared at him, and asked, "Then who should I look for?"
"Looking for Yan Song's enemies, looking for people who want to kill Yan Song." Zhu Youji said.
"Who? Who wants Yan Song to die?" Jing Ruyi asked impatiently.
Zhu Youji smiled, looked at Jing Ruyi, and said softly: "Me."
"Um?"
"Um??"
Jing Ruyi and Bao Laijian's expressions changed. Who would have thought?
The situation has actually taken a turn for the worse?
This young master with mysterious origins is actually Yan Song’s enemy?
The enemy of my enemy, isn’t this my friend?
Hurrah!
Jing Ruyi got excited and asked, "What should I do? How can I deal with Yan Song and clear my father's wrong?"
Zhu Youji stood up, looked at the two people, and said:
"In the adult world, there are no permanent friends, only eternal interests."
"Today, I can rescue you from the prison of Dali Temple, and tomorrow, I can also send people to kill you."
"I rescued you, healed your injuries, fed you, and provided you with a place to live. Of course I have a plan."
"You want to avenge your father, and I want Yan Song to be overthrown. Our interests are the same."
"So, I saved you."
"If you want to bring down Yan Song, you need to take advantage of the situation. He is the chief minister of the cabinet, and his forces are intertwined. It is difficult to overthrow him. However, he has many enemies, and some of his allies also want him dead!"
"These can all be used."
"Everyone knows that the emperor cultivates Taoism. In seven days, it will be Tao Zun's birthday. The emperor will go to Sanqing Temple to pay homage and practice and congratulate Tao Zun."
"I want you to pretend to be a Taoist boy, approach the emperor, and then hand over a blood letter and evidence. Whether you can vindicate Jing Ji depends on you..."
