Li Yuzhen saw Lu Zhiyao's expression of fear, as if Lu Zhiyao might eat her at any time.
Lu Zhiyao let out a long sigh, pointed to the chair beside him and said to her: "Sit down and talk. I can't do anything to you."
After not seeing each other for so long, she couldn't be violent as soon as they came up, right? And there were so many people outside, so even if she wanted to do it, she would have to choose a time when no one was around. Li Yuzhen was the head of the family now, so she had to stay.
Just some noodles will do.
Lu Zhiyao's fingers danced lightly on the table. Li Yuzhen became more and more nervous. She couldn't figure out how Lu Zhiyao could appear here.
Lu Zhiyao's hand suddenly moved in the direction of Li Yuzhen, which frightened Li Yuzhen and immediately stood up from the chair.
Lu Zhiyao looked at her actions and was stunned for a moment. Look how scared she was. What did she do to her in the first place to make her so scared?
Lu Zhiyao pointed to the outside of the room door and whispered: "Get it away from me."
Li Yuzhen nodded repeatedly and walked unsteadily towards the outside of the house. When she opened the door, she looked at the minions outside and told them to leave in a trembling voice.
Li Yuzhen turned her back to Lu Zhiyao, feeling that Lu Zhiyao couldn't see her face, so she said another word to those people silently.
"Go and report to the official quickly."
Li Yuzhen has a good relationship with the officials here, otherwise the business would not be so big just by relying on her as a woman.
Lu Zhiyao looked at Li Yuzhen with a smile, narrowed his eyes slightly, and she smiled lightly and said nothing.
Li Yuzhen closed the door and returned to Lu Zhiyao, sitting down slowly under Lu Zhiyao's gaze. She smiled at Lu Zhiyao ingratiatingly and asked what Lu Zhiyao came to see her for.
Lu Zhiyao was not busy talking about it. He first asked Li Yuzhen how his business was doing. After listening to Li Yuzhen's lies, Lu Zhiyao leisurely stated his purpose.
"I know it's not easy for Mrs. Gu to do business, but I think this matter shouldn't be difficult for you." Lu Zhiyao stared into Li Yuzhen's eyes and said, "Human trafficking is also very popular in Qingming Kingdom.
Right? Do me a small favor and find out where the secret passage to Xialai Country is. As long as you find it, I will let you go."
After hearing Lu Zhiyao's request, Li Yuzhen's already flustered heart became even more uneasy.
"Eighth Imperial Concubine, aren't you making things difficult for me..." Li Yuzhen spoke quickly and called out the Eighth Imperial Concubine directly. "How could I, a simple citizen, find out about this kind of thing? I am doing serious business.
, I have no dealings with those people, how do you want me to check?"
"Really?" Lu Zhiyao expressed that he didn't quite believe Li Yuzhen's words. If she knew nothing about this kind of thing, she shouldn't have acted so calmly. Shouldn't she first ask herself what the secret passage was?
What do you mean? As far as Lu Zhiyao knows, not everyone knows about this secret passage.
"How dare I lie to you about such a thing?" Li Yuzhen was so embarrassed that she almost cried, "No matter what, I am just an ordinary citizen and have nothing to do with that kind of thing. Please just let me go.
I know it was wrong to run away without saying a word, but..."
"Okay, it's all happened in the past, and there's no point in bringing it up again." Lu Zhiyao was particularly generous at this time. "It's been four years, let's talk about what happened four years later. I have such a request.
, I don’t want to hear anything else, just tell me whether you can do it or not?”
Lu Zhiyao made his attitude clear, but Li Yuzhen did not dare to offend her and began to deliberately delay time.
Lu Zhiyao knew what she was thinking and was happy to cooperate with her. The two sat there talking. When a large number of officers and soldiers rushed into the yard and kicked open the door with a strong attitude, Lu Zhiyao was in a good mood and behaved as he should.
"surprise".
"Master Li!" When Li Yuzhen saw the person, she stood up and ran over as if seeing a life-saving straw. Her movements were as fast as if there were wolves and beasts chasing her behind her.
Lu Zhiyao looked at the officers and soldiers rushing in and smiled slightly.
"Master Li? Are you two from the same family?"
"Bold and unruly man, this is not a place where you can come here casually!" The man whom Li Yuzhen called Mr. Li looked at Lu Zhiyao with a fierce look on his face and said sternly: "Come on, please be escorted away by me!"
Li Yuzhen weighed her feet, leaned into his ear and said a few words, making his expression look shocked.
"Really?" He looked at Li Yuzhen in disbelief and asked.
"Yes!" Li Yuzhen nodded heavily. Lu Zhiyao looked at the actions of the two people. If she guessed correctly, Li Yuzhen should have told Mr. Li her true identity.
Lu Zhiyao thought these two people were interesting. As the saying goes, the world is as black as crows. Although it was inappropriate for her to say this, the fact is that it is like this. How can the government solve the problem so easily when people report it to the government?
Moreover, the official himself led the people to come forward, is it possible?
The officers and soldiers rushed in front of Lu Zhiyao, trying to capture her. Lu Zhiyao suddenly slapped the case and stood up, making those people stop and startle. And Li Yuzhen hid directly behind Master Li.
.
"We haven't seen each other for four years, but we still have such a short memory." Lu Zhiyao looked at Li Yuzhen with a look of disappointment. "These people just want to catch me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and get it for me!" Mr. Li was serious and upright. "If you have anything to say, go to the Yamen and tell me!"
"I'm afraid you will cry when we get to the Yamen, Mr. Li." Lu Zhiyao sneered and pulled a man who tried to attack her. With a slight twist of his wrist, the man's arm was immediately broken and he let out a painful howl.
.
The man's cry immediately caused the scene to become a little chaotic. Li Yuzhen and her backer stepped back, and all the officers and soldiers rushed towards Lu Zhiyao, already treating her as a villain.
Lu Zhiyao solved them as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. These people were not enough for her entertainment. Stepping towards Li Yuzhen and the man, Lu Zhiyao took out something from his waist and stopped the man who wanted to flee.
Sir, asked: "I wonder if Mr. Li knows this thing?"
The man took a quick look and was dumbfounded.
"This is...?" He stopped, his eyes and attention focused on the token.
"I think you should recognize it. It was given by Prince Xuanyuan. He and the emperor just came back from the border today. If you don't believe it, why don't we go to the prince and tell the truth?"
This... what is this situation? Li Yuzhen's head is a bit out of tune. Lu Zhiyao is obviously from Xia Lai Kingdom, how could he be related to Prince Xuanyuan?
"Master Li, don't listen to her nonsense! She is a troublesome member of the Xia Lai Kingdom, and there is no way she has anything to do with Prince Xuanyuan!"
At the moment when the two countries are in conflict, catching Lu Zhiyao and sending him to the top will definitely be both meritorious and rewarding. Mr. Li thought so, but he did not dare to act rashly and completely believed Li Yuzhen's words.
"You are from the Xia Lai country, you are a troublemaker?" Lu Zhiyao laughed jokingly, as if he was not from the Xia Lai country, she was able to shirk herself completely.
"Master Li, I think we should go to the prince to talk. The prince specially sent me to investigate the matter of child trafficking. Your doing this makes me very embarrassed. Since you doubt my identity, then go see the prince. I think the prince
If so, you should believe it, right?"
After Lu Zhiyao finished speaking, she raised her legs and was about to walk out. The officers and soldiers she had just knocked down got up again, but they didn't know what to do and whether they should continue to attack her.
Prince Xuanyuan, selling children?
These eight words made Mr. Li's eyes flash with uneasiness. He glanced sideways at Li Yuzhen beside him, and saw Li Yuzhen shaking his head repeatedly, indicating not to believe her words.
"By the way, Mr. Li, there is something I forgot to show you." Lu Zhiyao had already passed by the two of them, but now he came back, took out another token and waved it in front of the man's face.
, asked in a low voice: "I don't know this thing, have you ever seen it?"
As soon as the man saw the words above, his expression immediately changed. He didn't care how Li Yuzhen asked him for help and prepared to leave.
"Since we are following Prince Xuanyuan's order, I will naturally assist in the investigation."
"There is no need for assistance. Take all your people away. I have something to ask her alone."
What Lu Zhiyao showed him was nothing else, but the guard's token. It was hard to see this thing, but Lu Zhiyao thought he would definitely recognize it.
Mr. Li and his officers and soldiers came and went in a hurry. In the courtyard, Lu Zhiyao and Li Yuzhen stood opposite each other, one was smiling and the other was trembling.
"Everyone can run, but a mountain can fall. I thought you understood this truth four years ago." Lu Zhiyao said with a helpless smile: "Why don't you have a long memory?"
Li Yuzhen's legs went weak. She had no choice but to kneel down and beg Lu Zhiyao.
Lu Zhiyao saw her legs bend, and with a wave of his right hand, two darts went straight towards the crook of her legs.
"ah!!!"
Li Yuzhen lost her balance and fell down, screaming in pain.
The darts pierced her bones and flesh, making her unable to stand up again.
"I said, I just want to have a good talk with you. If you don't obey me, you can't blame me."
Lu Zhiyao knelt down and said somewhat innocently: "It's still the same request. If you can do it, I will let you go. If you can't do it, I will let your Mr. Li kill you with his own hands."
Lu Zhiyao really didn't want Li Yuzhen to be so embarrassed and embarrassed in front of so many people. But she had to force herself to do this, what could she do?
Lu Zhiyao glanced at Li Yuzhen's legs and continued: "I poisoned the dart, but it won't kill you. Find a doctor within half an hour to make sure you're fine. But don't think about your legs in the future.
Use it. This is your punishment for disobedience and reporting it to the official. If there is a next time, I guarantee that it will not just be a broken leg, do you understand?"
Li Yuzhen burst into tears in pain, and she nodded no matter what Lu Zhiyao said.
"If you had been so obedient and cooperative, nothing would have happened? Why bother." Lu Zhiyao stood up and looked down at her, "I'll see you in three days. Don't let me down."
