Chapter 116 Learned an important clue
Upon hearing this, the man raised his sword, a cold light flashed, and several chains broke.
Lu Jiankang was so frightened that his breathing became disordered.
Two men in black quickly ran towards him.
There were a lot of debris in the cell, and Lu Jiankang rolled and crawled to dodge instinctively, narrowly avoiding the blade several times.
He ran and shouted: "Help, someone is killing someone--!"
Mu Xiaoxiao broke open the iron window, jumped in from the gap, and threw a dart to block the black-clad man's fatal move.
Lu Jiankang quickly got up and hid behind her, pointing at the two men and shouting, "I know them! Kill them now!"
The man in black gripped the hilt of the knife tightly, and the blade suddenly made a low sound.
Mu Xiaoxiao's forehead jumped violently, and he turned around and shouted, "Shut up!"
If it weren't for her master's plan, not to mention the assassin, even she would have wanted to kill this scum with a single sword.
There were chaotic footsteps outside, and many guards rushed into the prison with torches, surrounding the place where the few people were.
When they saw they had fallen into a trap, they looked at each other and made a decision.
Under the man's cover, the woman took the opportunity to escape by jumping out of the window.
The man knew he was doomed, so he took out a dagger and stabbed it directly into his heart, killing him instantly.
Yuan Qing and Fang Shuo walked over quickly.
Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and said, "I failed in my duty and failed to keep him alive."
"It's okay," Yuan Qing wiped the blood off her hands and consoled her, "These are all well-trained assassins. Even if you keep them alive, you won't be able to get anything out of them. It's already a great achievement that you were able to stop these two people.
But they were so eager to break into the prison and kill people, I think Lü Jiankang must have known something about them, so they had to take the risk and do it."
Lu Jiankang was so frightened that he was held on both sides by the guards.
Yuan Qing nodded to Fang Shuo, and Fang Shuo understood what she meant. He then led the guards out of the prison to give them space to talk.
The noise died down, and Lv Jiankang was still gasping for breath in shock. He looked up and asked, "Can you really protect me?"
"Of course..." Yuan Qing said with some embarrassment, "But this is a local case after all. If Fang Shuo deliberately conceals it...
No matter how powerful my father is, he can't intervene in this matter unless——"
She drew out her voice.
Lu Jiankang asked anxiously: "Unless what?"
"Unless Fang Shuo can be suppressed and the handling of the case can be handed over to the capital, then my father will have a reason to take over."
"I have it," Lü Jiankang suddenly said excitedly, "I have his——"
Yuan Qing hurriedly whispered, "Be careful what you say, be careful of what you say."
She pointed outside.
Lu Jiankang suddenly understood.
This is Fang Shuo's territory. If Fang Shuo knew that he had something on him, how could he survive? !
So dangerous, so dangerous...
The two had a detailed conversation, and before leaving, Yuan Qing assured him that he would keep him safe for dozens of days until the execution.
Mu Xiaoxiao was puzzled by this.
When he returned to the Lou family, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you protect this scum?"
Just get the news out of here, why bother talking about morality with such a person?
"Local death penalty cases must be reported to the Ministry of Justice for review." Yuan Qing took off his outer robe and continued, "It will take at least ten days to go through the whole process.
If anything happened to the prisoner before approval from the capital came down, it would be the local officials' dereliction of duty.
So, why not take advantage of the free benefits? "
Tonight she learned an important piece of information from Lu Jiankang.
Whenever they met in the past, the woman basically never spoke, and Lu Jiankang even thought she was mute at one point.
But tonight he heard it clearly in the dark.
Not only could the woman speak, but her voice also carried a hint of death, as if one was in hell with a blade hanging over one's head.
The man would rather die than not help the woman escape.
This means that the woman’s identity is special and cannot be exposed.
This further confirmed her previous guess.
The next morning, Yuan Qing summoned the secret guards who were monitoring Fang's mansion.
According to the secret guards, the eldest daughter is timid and seldom speaks, but she can speak, but her voice is very low.
But the second young lady has a clear voice, so there is no need to look for her deliberately; you can find her just by her voice.
But every late night, they could always hear a few hoarse and dark sobs, like the cries of old crows in the dark, which was extremely desolate.
Lu Jiankang was only sure that the person he had met was Miss Fang, but he didn't know which one it was.
It seems that there are many secrets hidden in the Fang Mansion. It’s time to go to the Fang Mansion to investigate in person.
Mu Xiaoxiao came in and reported: "Master, Master Lu wants to see you."
Oh? Lu Mu is here?
"Take him outside and wait. I'll be there shortly."
Lu Mu did not dare to be rude and walked into the inner courtyard with his head lowered.
When I saw the embroidered skirt swaying in front of me, I heard the nobleman say, "No need to be polite, please sit down."
"I thank the Queen Mother."
After the North City case was settled, Yuan Qing took a fancy to Lu Mu's talent in accounting, so he ordered the canteen manager to take him in and start with the accounting.
Now he is doing better and better and has become a capable assistant to the manager, responsible for the accounting of the entire North City industry.
But he didn't know that she was the owner behind the restaurant, and this visit was probably just to express gratitude and courtesy.
She ordered Mu Xiaoxiao to accept Lu Mu's gift and prepare something of equal value as a return gift.
Seeing that Lü Mu was about to kneel again, Yuan Qing stopped him and said, “I should express my gratitude for inviting you all the way from the north city.
Your master and I are old friends, so there is no need to be polite, just accept it."
Lu Mu was very grateful.
He left home at a young age and suffered a lot of cold stares and discrimination.
As the saying goes, people share similar interests and temperaments. She is worthy of being a close friend of her master.
He is also open-minded, generous and gentle to others.
"The Lu family is not a place to stay for long," Yuan Qing took a sip of tea and made things clear to him, "If you have any difficulties, I am willing to help you solve them. It's just a few words, and you don't have to feel burdened."
Before this, she had known about Lu Mu's life experience.
All he cared about was his biological mother.
At the beginning, the father and son were forced to leave home. His mother had just had a miscarriage and she certainly couldn't bear the long journey.
In order to save his wife's life, his father personally went to ask the second son of the illegitimate wife to take his wife as a concubine.
Now that Lu Mu's stigma has been cleared, he is qualified to be included back in the Lu family tree.
For the prosperity and inheritance of the Lu family, the head of the Lu family will definitely force Lu Mu to stay at home in the name of his biological mother.
As a boss, she really doesn't want to lose such a talent, and he should have more room for development.
But from a human perspective, it is human nature to miss one's homeland, and she had no right to interfere with Lu Mu's wishes.
If he chose to leave the Lu family, then she would help him get rid of the worry of his biological mother.
Lu Mu did not hesitate at all. He bowed to her and said, "I swear to serve you for my whole life. If you can help my mother escape from the sea of suffering, I will never forget your kindness!"
Yuan Qing held his hand with a small fan and said, "In this case, please go back and explain to your mother first, so that she won't worry."
