Escape after crossing

Chapter 123 Blackmail Letter

How to ask? "Miss Jiang, if there are two girls who are a few years older than you and they encounter bad things and want you to take them in, would you be willing?"

According to this, Xuan Yi didn't know how Jiang Ziluo would answer or ask this question.

"Miss Jiang, under what circumstances would you take in two girls who are a few years older than you?"

Xuanyi thought about it and shook his head in denial. Mingyue and Mingxi looked at Xuanyi, who changed his mind from time to time but never said whether it was okay or not. There was nothing they could do but sit and continue thinking.

Some were busy, some were awake, some slept with their own thoughts, and of course some slept peacefully and happily. Jiang Ziluo didn't care what was going on outside, the treasure she saw tonight was something she had never even seen before.

The happy dreams are all beautiful, and the corners of the mouth are also upturned. After a night, it is another sunny day. The weather is good, but the people are not good.

Early in the morning, the prefect Wu Shiyong received a letter. When he opened it, he found it was a blackmail letter. This is what it said.

"Knowing that Lord Wu is very busy and has no time to take care of his family, I invited the two gentlemen to visit a few days ago. I should have greeted them in advance, but the two gentlemen were having so much fun that they forgot!

The two young masters are so precious that they have used up all the money in the family in the past few days. The eldest young master said that he missed his uncle and wanted his uncle to send money to him. The cost is not much, 500,000 taels of silver. If you don’t send the money to the foot of Wujiapo Mountain, 30 miles outside the city, within three days, please forgive me if there is any problem! ”

Wu Shiyong was furious, but he didn't know where to vent his anger. He thought to himself that there were no bandits on Wujiapo.

This is obviously kidnapping and extortion. But after thinking for a while, I still can't figure out who did this. Now I can't find anyone to discuss it with.

I can't tell the women in the back house. If they know, they will just cry and be very upset. Wu Shijie is still in prison. After thinking about it, Wu Shiyong couldn't figure out what was going on.

He sent his two sons away secretly, without even telling Wu Shijie. Could it be that his two sons were really deceived by someone else? The letter only stated that Wu Shijie was to send the money.

Wu Shiyong didn't understand why Wu Shijie was specifically asked to deliver it. Wu Xing was indeed very close to his cousin. The letter said that Wu Xing wanted Wu Shijie to deliver it. Could it be true?

Wu Shiyong called the person who had just delivered the letter and asked.

"How did you find this letter?"

The man saw that after Lord Wu read the letter, the expression on his face changed unpredictably, and he became alert in his heart, fearing that he might say something wrong and offend the Lord.

"Your Excellency, when I got up and opened the government office, I saw this letter stuck on the door. I didn't dare to delay and brought it in immediately. Is there anything wrong with your Excellency?"

"Are there no suspicious people outside the government office?"

"Your Excellency, I didn't see anyone suspicious. It was still early, and there was no one outside the government office."

"Go down first and keep your mouth shut."

"Yes, my lord."

Wu Shiyong thought about it over and over but couldn't figure out a clue. He didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast. He ate something casually and said he had something to do. He went straight to the prison to find Wu Shijie.

Wu Shiyong did not intend to ask Wu Shijie directly, but just wanted to find out from the side whether the person behind the scenes was related to Wu Shijie. After all, there were still three days left.

He also planned to use Wu Shijie to take the blame if he couldn't find Doctor Hu. It wasn't that Wu Shiyong was cruel, it was just that Wu Shijie had caused him a lot of trouble. Let's not talk about Wu Shiyong's plan for now.

After spending the night, the three imperial doctors were completely relieved. They met early in the morning and discussed the matter to see if the Ninth Prince had improved. After all, the prescription used by the Ninth Prince was the same as that used by the people in the epidemic area.

"Doctor Ju, I'm here to see how the prince is doing. The people who contracted the plague yesterday have gotten better. I wonder how the prince is doing..."

Doctor Zhao spoke up, and the other two doctors nodded on the side, watching the changes in Doctor Ju.

"Thank you for your concern, the three imperial doctors. Perhaps because everyone's physical condition is different, the prince has not yet shown any improvement. The people in the epidemic area are getting better, so the three imperial doctors can take a break."

Ju Ziming and his team already knew the situation in the epidemic area, and could only find some words to evade the three doctors. Seeing that the three were not about to leave, Ju Ziming spoke.

"Would the three imperial doctors please go in and check the prince's pulse and see if we can prescribe a new medicine?"

The three of them looked at each other, and it was Doctor Zhao who spoke up, "Your Highness, we have Doctor Ju here, so we won't show off. Perhaps after taking the medicine for another two days, Your Highness will be well. The three of us still have to go to the epidemic area, so we won't delay any longer. Goodbye."

After that, the three of them bowed and left, heading for the epidemic area. The three of them were not stupid. The people in the epidemic area had already gotten better after using this prescription. Now they were going to change the prescription for the prince. Are they going to risk their lives?

In their eyes, the lives of those unarmed civilians had nothing to do with them, but the man in the room was the prince. If they were blamed from above, the three of them would not be able to explain themselves even if they had a hundred mouths.

After Jiang Ziluo got up, she thought about what to do today. After looking at a bunch of treasures at the latest, she still hadn't prepared the antidote. She looked at the Chinese medicine cabinet in the pharmacy and found two herbs that were not available.

Jiang Ziluo needs to find this kind of herbs today. Fortunately, these two herbs are not uncommon, but they are not available in Jiangdu City. These two herbs grow in water-rich areas. Although Jiangdu City is in the south, it is still relatively close to the north.

Jiang Ziluo needs to go further south to find these two herbs. Thinking that there is nothing for her to do in Jiangdu City, it is still okay to go south. If she can't come back today, she can come back tomorrow.

She was just thinking about whether to tell Leng Chenming, struggling with it as she walked. When she arrived at Leng Chenming's private room, Jiang Ziluo still hadn't made up his mind whether to tell him or not.

Why not wait until after breakfast? She also wanted to hear the results of last night. Jiang Ziluo arrived at Leng Chenming's private room. Only Leng Chenming was there. Jiang Ziluo asked a question!

"Morning, my Lord. Why don't you see Xuan Yi and the others?"

When Leng Chenming saw Jiang Ziluo asking Xuanyi and the others right after she came up, he looked a little cold and said in a deep voice, "Miss Jiang, is there anything you need them to do?"

"Oh, not really. I just haven't seen them since last night. I just asked."

Jiang Ziluo muttered to himself, what's wrong with this guy? Can't his people even ask? Then he thought again, maybe he was afraid that I would steal his people?

There was silence in the private room for a while, and the silence was not broken until Manager Zhang, accompanied by the waiter, knocked on the door with food.

Seeing that there was food, Jiang Ziluo no longer cared about Leng Chenming. She still had things to do after dinner and couldn't delay.

Leng Chenming regretted what he had just said in that tone, but he didn't know how to start talking. The food came and was just placed on the table when Leng Chenming spoke.

"Miss Jiang, please."

Seeing that Jiang Ziluo was not angry about what had just happened and was just eating quietly, Leng Chenming spoke again.

"Last night's assassin was the work of the eldest prince, who only wanted to kill the emperor's uncle."
