Chapter 163: Calculate the accounts slowly
"Jiang Yuzhu, what's the matter with you?"
Although he hasn't received any news from the customer yet, according to the agreement, he will not let him go.
"No matter how sweet-talking, glib-tongued or even you use large sums of money to induce me, the rules of the world will not be broken."
After the man in purple finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly asked people to stay.
"Strong man, even if you don't let me go, you still have to be nice to me. What if I am your next customer?"
Leave everything on the line so that we can meet again in the future.
At this time, the news of her being kidnapped has spread. Seeing that the person behind her has made no move, she must be afraid.
Who tricked her?
If it hadn't rained heavily today, she would have left Hongxiu and Hongjin at Huguo Temple, and there would have been no chance of the man in purple taking advantage of her.
"You can't make 1 taels of silver without my cooperation. I need hot water to wash you and change into a set of clean clothes. Is this too much to ask?"
Jiang Yuzhu looked around and began to make requests.
Surrounded by deep mountains and old forests, there is no chance of entering a wolf's den if you escape.
Jiang Yuzhu weighed it repeatedly and decided that she still had to run.
If you escape, you can at least overcome the dangers you face by yourself. If you stay and let others take advantage of you, you will be too passive.
"There is no 1 taels."
The man in purple made a mistake again and corrected Jiang Yu's mistake, "Receive a deposit of 5000 taels first, and then settle the remaining 5000 taels after the transaction is completed."
He had already sent someone to deliver the letter as agreed, but unexpectedly there was no response from the other party and no reply.
According to the rules of the world, the other party is considered a breach of contract.
Jiang Yuzhu sneered and said: "That person broke the contract first, so you don't have to abide by the rules, right? Now that you are free, I can hire you to do things."
"You have no money."
The man in purple was slightly shaken. Their business charges half of the deposit.
Jiang Yuzhu's jewelry was worthless. She shook her sleeves, but they were empty.
Because I suddenly saw red, I changed my clothes on the carriage and left my purse on the carriage.
Jiang Yuzhu showed a hint of sadness and said: "I can't hold the money now, but I can use my cousin to pay off the debt."
The disdain in the man in purple's eyes flashed away, and he thought that being Jiang Yuzhu's cousin would be a bad luck for eight lifetimes.
Although he couldn't stand the love between men and women, he couldn't stand being taken advantage of!
Looking for an opportunity, the man in purple must persuade his stubborn cousin.
"Strong man, if you ask around, the Lu family is also well-known in Jiangnan. My cousin is a teacher at Qingzhu Academy. Anyway, I won't miss your money."
Jiang Yuzhu tried her best to persuade her. After careful consideration, the man in purple gave Jiang Yuzhu a set of men's clothes and pushed her to a better thatched cottage to change.
The men's clothes were too loose, so Jiang Yuzhu simply put them on.
There was a whistle not far away, but the man in purple didn't pay much attention to it, and immediately rode away after hearing the sound.
The man in purple didn't have many friends, and they were all attracted by the whistle.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Yuzhu went to the kitchen to grab a few steaming buns and headed straight for the mountain.
As for her cousin Lu Yunxi, she had long forgotten it.
At dusk, the rain stopped and the sunset dyed the sky red.
Not long after, Xuanyao was kidnapped by a group of men in black and pushed into a thatched house.
"Who are you? Where is my cousin?"
Lu Yunxi leaned against the wall and asked with pursed lips.
In all these years, he has never been tricked by a woman, and Jiang Yuzhu is the first one.
Lu Yunxi had blocked the knife for her before, but she didn't feel the slightest gratitude from her cousin.
Selfish enough, he likes it!
"How do I know who your cousin is!"
Xuanyao kicked the door hard and cursed frantically, "You know who I am, and yet you dare to kidnap someone. You will all die badly!"
Xuanyao got the news that her brother Xuan Qi was at the academy and wanted to see her. Before she arrived at Qingzhu Academy, she was kidnapped by a group of people.
After calming down and thinking about what happened, Xuanyao finally looked at Lu Yunxi and exclaimed: "Young disciple, why are you not wearing any clothes!"
"It's because he's not wearing anything, so Lu would be rude."
Lu Yunxi pushed Xuanyao into the corner and took off her shirt.
Xuanyao tried her best to resist, but she was as strong as a chicken. Finally, she said with a sudden heart: "If you damage my reputation in the slightest, you will definitely die, and your body will be chopped into dozens of pieces and fed to the dogs!"
Facing the Xuan family daughter, Lu Yunxi no longer needed to pretend, he put Xuan Yao's coat on himself.
This kind of thing is arrogant, arrogant, and brainless. He doesn't have such strong tastes.
If we really talk about the relationship, Xuanyao is his cousin.
But his cruel mother might not know that he is still alive.
At that time, his mother, the Queen Mother Xuan, disliked his weakness and thought he was stillborn, so he was replaced.
If he had not been abandoned, he would not have been sent to the south of the Yangtze River to be the son of the Lu family. He would have been a legitimate member of the Xiao family and would have ascended the throne and become emperor!
It was obvious that everything that belonged to him was at his fingertips, but Lu Yunxi had to rely on his own planning and was blamed for being a traitor!
Xuanyao only had her inner clothes left and cried: "You, how could you..."
"Why not?"
Lu Yunxi replied coldly, "Miss thinks Lu is rude, so Lu can only find clothes to cover up."
Xuanyao was so angry that she couldn't speak, and whispered: "Then you will steal my clothes?"
"Is there anyone else here?"
Lu Yunxi closed his eyes, showing suspicion.
Someone went to the black market to pay someone to kidnap Jiang Yuzhu. How could they capture Xuanyao?
Who on earth dares to blatantly offend the Xuan family?I'm afraid I won't be able to find a few in the capital.
Lu Yunxi felt that there was a lot of fog in front of him, and for a while he couldn't figure out the true purpose of the person behind it.
If it wasn't someone behind the scenes, and someone had a hand in the matter, things would become even more complicated.
"Scholar, who is your cousin?"
Xuanyao cried for a while and asked with sobs.
"Jiang Yuzhu."
"Why is it her again? It will be bad luck to see her!"
Xuanyao fell to the ground in despair and asked again, "Where is Jiang Yuzhu?"
Lu Yunxi shook his head. He didn't see anyone, so he most likely escaped. His cousin was clever and colorful, and knew how to mediate.
In the blink of an eye, when it was time to hold the lantern, Jiang Yuzhu was still wandering in the mountains.
The temperature in the mountains was low, and even after putting on a coat, her lips turned white from the cold. The pain in her lower abdomen made her clear-headed.
Rather than staying in the thatched house and waiting for someone to rescue him, it is better to find a way out on his own.
It will get dark soon, and it is easy to get lost wandering in the woods, and you may encounter wild animals.
After much thought, Jiang Yuzhu decided to find a big tree to climb up and wait for dawn before finding a way down the mountain.
There are many dead grass and leaves in the mountains, and the air after the rain is full of the refreshing smell of vegetation.
Jiang Yuzhu had just taken a few steps when she tripped over a stone and stumbled forward, feeling nothing beneath her feet.
Jiang Yuzhu's vision went dark, and the howling wind sounded in her ears. When she came to her senses, she had already fallen to the bottom of the pit.
In this mountain, someone dug a trap to catch prey, and she unfortunately fell into the pit.
The pit was only a few meters long, and the surrounding area was bare. It was difficult to climb without tools. Coupled with the dull pain in her lower abdomen from time to time, Jiang Yuzhu's vision went dark and she fainted.
About a quarter of an hour later, there was a noise from all around.
"Master, I found my wife!"
His subordinates reported back, and Xie Zhao leapt out of the trap.
Under the moonlight, Jiang Yuzhu's face turned red. When Xie Zhao touched it with his hand, it was very hot.
His eyes darkened, he hurriedly took off his shirt and carefully wrapped Jiang Yuzhu, then jumped up with his arms in his arms.
"Master, the man in purple ran away first after getting the news. Let's..."
The subordinate asked for instructions.
Xie Zhao gently stroked the wet hair on Jiang Yuzhu's forehead and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't matter. If you can run away, the monk can't run away from the temple. Chop off Xuanyao's fingers and send them to the Xuan family."
Although the man behind the scenes was not Xuanjia, his wife's unreasonable disaster was caused by Xuanjia.
As long as there are people who have ill intentions towards Jiang Yuzhu, Xie Zhao will not let them go and settle the scores slowly.
He is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate others, and will only take revenge a thousandfold!
