Chapter 384
Zhu Yuxiu admitted that she was unlucky, but fortunately her clothes were not too wet, so she could go home quickly. She waved her hand and said it was okay, but the man and woman opposite were very stubborn and insisted on compensating her for a dress.
The slender, tall, handsome man said, "Girl, my sister is the most tender and kind-hearted. If you get sick because of the cold, she will definitely feel guilty. Clothes are nothing to us. Our apology, the girl will accept it."
Wang Yanqing wondered why Lu Heng had changed her character, but in front of the task object, she couldn't refute, she could only blink her eyes, tears of tenderness and kindness in her eyes: "Yeah, girl, it's all my fault. Watching the road will make you disrespectful. If you go back like this, I will definitely not forgive myself. "
Zhu Yuxiu looked at the overly beautiful brother and sister in front of her, and believed that they were indeed worth the same amount of clothes. Under the kindness, Zhu Yuxiu was embarrassed to refuse, and could only agree: "Okay. There are two of you."
Wang Yanqing found a nearby ready-to-wear store where she could change clothes, and asked Zhu Yuxiu to choose the style she liked. Zhu Yuxiu pointed to the cheap one, Wang Yanqing didn't say anything after seeing it, just asked the store owner if there was any free room, and asked Zhu Yuxiu to take off the wet clothes first.
The store they entered was medium in size and had a room dedicated to women's dressing. The old servant was a man, so it was inconvenient to follow up. Seeing this, Wang Yanqing said naturally, "I'll accompany this girl in to change her clothes."
Zhu Yuxiu actually wanted to say no, but Wang Yanqing held her hand and said, "When you're out and about, rest assured." When Zhu Yuxiu heard this, she couldn't say anything more.
The two women went into the inner room to change clothes. Lu Heng glanced inside lightly, showing the demeanor of a good brother, and settled the bill for his sister and Zhu Yuxiu.
Lu Heng didn't chat with the old servant. It was suspicious that they met with strangers and were enthusiastic when they met. At the same time, Wang Yanqing and Zhu Yuxiu entered the inner room. Wang Yanqing secretly tried the door, and after confirming that it could not be opened, she suddenly approached Zhu Yuxiu and covered her mouth with force.
Zhu Yuxiu was about to change clothes when she was suddenly attacked from behind, and she was stunned. Zhu Yuxiu's eyes widened, showing fear and regret. Wang Yanqing didn't have time to explain, and went straight to the point: "Miss Zhu, don't be afraid. We are the Jinyiwei of the capital. We are ordered by the emperor to come to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate the death of Lord Zhu."
Zhu Yuxiu's eyes widened, she couldn't understand what she heard. Wang Yanqing quickly judged her expression, made sure she was not hostile, and said, "Miss Zhu, I will not harm you. If you don't speak up, I will let you go."
Zhu Yuxiu nodded quickly, Wang Yanqing looked into her eyes and slowly let go. Sure enough, Zhu Yuxiu didn't shout, she inhaled hard, and when she was able to breathe freely, Zhu Yuxiu stared at Wang Yanqing cautiously, and asked carefully, "Are you really here on the emperor's order?"
Wang Yanqing directly took out the token of Jin Yiwei. This is the Beizhen Fu Commander card that Lu Heng brought to her yesterday. Zhu Yuxiu finally felt relieved when she saw the words "Shuntianfu" on it.
He is from Beijing and can be trusted. If you are here to kill your mouth, there is no need to travel thousands of miles from the capital.
Seeing that Zhu Yuxiu's demeanor had calmed down, Wang Yanqing lowered her voice and asked, "Miss Zhu, someone may be watching you now. We don't have much time, so I'll make a long story short. How did Mr. Zhu die?"
Hearing his father, Zhu Yuxiu's eyes were wet, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Father has no way out, he can only prove his innocence with death."
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanqing hurriedly asked, "What happened before Mr. Zhu committed suicide?"
Zhu Yuxiu wiped away her tears and repeated the news that the old servant brought back to Wang Yanqing. It turned out that after the imperial envoy arrived, Zhu Wan attached great importance to it and personally accompanied Du Ruzhen to Zhao'an to investigate, and showed Du Ruzhen the evidence of smuggling by the Folang machine and the soldiers who were injured by the Buddha's machine bird gun. Zhu Wan admitted that he had a clear conscience. He killed the Foro, the Japanese, and the ninety-six pirates because they were too mad and had to use their heads to scare off imitators.
Du Ruzhen complied with his promise at that time, and he would report to the emperor truthfully when he returned to Beijing. Who knows, Du Ruzhen took the master and sent silver taels in private, and when he went back, he took a bite, saying that Zhu Wan was arrogant to kill.
When Zhu Wan heard that the imperial court was going to send an imperial messenger to arrest him and return to Beijing, he was indignant. He came from a poor family, disdain for those who flattered for a living, and his temperament is stinky, and he has never made any friends since he became an official. He couldn't even persuade Du Ruzhen, so when he returned to Beijing, how could he defend himself under verbal criticism?
With the steadfastness of a scholar, Zhu Wan would rather be unyielding. After writing his epitaph and death sentence, he committed suicide by drinking medicine. He would rather die than bear the charges imposed on him by the officialdom.
Zhu Yuxiu said that she was choked up and unable to speak. Wang Yanqing sighed deeply after hearing this, but there is no time for them to be sad now. They have been in for too long, and the store has already sent someone to ask. Wang Yanqing shouted to the outside, and clenched Zhu Yuxiu's hand, saying, "Miss Zhu, time is running out, we have to go. Are the relics of Lord Zhu's letters, death words, etc. still there?"
Zhu Yuxiu nodded again and again: "Of course I keep my father's things well."
"Okay." Wang Yanqing said quickly, "You put on your new clothes first. After that, we will visit Zhu's house in the name of helping you do your laundry. After you go back, quickly pack up Lord Zhu's relics, especially the letters. , roster and other things that can prove the innocence of Lord Zhu, we will definitely present them to the Holy Master. But you must be careful, there may be people watching outside your home, you must not reveal your flaws and let the relics of Lord Zhu fall into their hands inside."
