The Prime Minister's delicate wife can control her husband

"Dad, this matter has nothing to do with me, nor with the Wu family. It's just that Zuiyanlou is bullying others by taking advantage of their power."

"Just stay in the room and don't leave. I'll have someone notify you if anything happens."

Looking at Master Wu's back, Wu Jingui gritted his teeth and his eyes were gloomy.

"Could it be that the new wife of the Yan family is really from Zuiyanlou?"

She then quietly went out and headed for the black market, planning to hire someone to commit the crime at a high price. Only by getting rid of the men involved today could she keep the secret.

Master Wu came to the main room and quickly asked the maid to grind tea and serve water to Yuzhu.

Yuzhu waved her hand to refuse, looked around and spoke.

"Master Wu, where is your son?"

"My son didn't come home tonight. I heard he had an argument with someone in Jinxiufang this afternoon. He must be afraid of my punishment and didn't dare to come back."

Yuzhu knew that he was lying, but Old Man Wu was very cunning and he blocked all questions with perfect answers.

"You'd better tell the truth. If I find out that you are lying, you will have to wait to collect your son's body."

Yuzhu slammed the door and walked out. Master Wu returned to the room and looked around, but found that there was no sign of Wu Jingui.

"This rebellious son, can't really create a feud with Zuiyanlou?!"

He immediately asked the housekeeper to call the men who had accompanied Wu Jingui out in the afternoon to gather in front of the main courtyard gate.

"The men that the master went out with in the afternoon have not returned home today!"

After hearing the butler's answer, Master Wu sat in the chair for a long time.

"It seems that this rebellious son has really offended Zuiyanlou. Could it be that this rebellious son wants to destroy my Wu family?!"

While I was thinking about future strategies, I heard loud laughter from outside the door.

"President Wu, are you so afraid of Zuiyanlou?!"

The butler next to him wanted to refute, but the masked man raised the topaz token in his hand.

"You...you...are you from the Golden Branch Building?"

The man nodded and said, "As long as you can help me, I can definitely help you solve your son's troubles."

"How can I help?" Mr. Wu stepped forward and asked.

"I want you to provide our Golden Branch House with 10,000 taels of gold every year."

"One... one... ten thousand taels of gold? That's a lot!"

"Is this more? As long as you can think of a way to monopolize the shops in Xingwen County, wouldn't this gold be your Wu family's income for the next one or two months?

I have made my words very clear, and I think President Wu should be clear about what I mean."

"You know my brother in the capital?"

"I don't know him. The restaurant's rules are not to ask about the origin. I think you should know that. I only know that if you hesitate for a moment, your son will be in danger for a moment."

The man turned around and was about to leave, but Master Wu hurried forward to stop him.

"I promise you!" He immediately asked the butler to take him to the warehouse to count the gold.

"That's right. I have been secretly investigating Master Wu for a long time. He is indeed a smart man."

Mrs. Wu's younger brother, Jin Zixuan, worked in the capital. He took the prime minister of the time as his teacher and was an honest official.

Seeing four boxes of gold neatly laid out on the ground,

"President Wu, I need your fingerprints for one more thing. Once you're done, I'll send someone to protect your son."

The man took out a memorial from his sleeve.

When Mr. Wu looked closely, he found that it was a memorial impeaching Jin Zixuan for taking bribes, and he immediately rejected it.

"As far as I know, your wife was seriously ill at that time. He only needed to say one word to get the imperial physician to treat your wife. At that time, he wanted to rise to a higher position, which led to your wife's death."

After saying this, seeing that Master Wu was still indifferent, he blew a whistle and several people came in carrying the gold.

"I'm going to protect Master Wu now. It won't be too late for Master Wu to consider it later."

Wu Jingui came to the black market and walked into a gambling house at the end of the alley. He was led by someone to a dark room and met the man through a screen.

"Help me clean up some of the miscellaneous fish. This is their place. This is your reward. Remember to clean them up!"

"Mr. Wu, someone just spent a lot of money to get information about you, and your little money is not even a fraction of that person's! I advise you not to offend people you shouldn't offend.

You take the money and I'll pretend you've never been here."

"I'll pay you whatever you want."

Wu Jingui begged him in a low voice to help him, "The people at this address are only the men in my family. Please help me deal with them and then burn down the house. I beg you!"

"Remember, this is just this once, don't do it again! The information you gave me had better be true, otherwise I will come back and kill you!"

"It's absolutely true! I guarantee with my family's lives that they are not from Zuiyanlou! Remember to act quickly, it's best to leave now!"

Wu Jingui took out a few silver bills from his pocket and said, "These are all my deposit. I will pay you double the money when the deal is done."

Xiyan pointed at the silver bills on the table with his big knife, called two people and left.

As soon as Wu Jingui stepped out of the back door of the gambling house, someone immediately put a sword to his neck from behind.

"Where is that woman?"

"I don't know who the woman you are talking about is?"

Wu Jingui thought that as long as he delayed a little more time, the speed would be faster.

Yuzhu did not continue to interrogate him, but stabbed his thigh with a sword, and blood gushed out instantly.

Seeing that the man was provoked by him, he leaned against the wall and said, "That pretty girl has been dealt with by the people I sent! Even if you kill me, I won't tell you where she is!"

Yuzhu held Wu Jingui's neck with one hand and took out a jade bottle from her waist. "Drink this medicine. It's not as simple as just refusing to answer!"

Just as he was about to attack, the sound of a crossbow being fired came from behind Yuzhu, and the arrow hit Wu Jingui's chest with just enough force to not be fatal, but just send him into shock.

"You guys at Jinzhilou are meddling too much! You're trying to get involved in our Zuiyanlou's territory."

The man did not answer, but rushed towards Yuzhu with a knife in hand. After several rounds of fighting, the two were evenly matched.

Seeing that Wu Jingui had fainted, Yuzhu could not get anything out of him, so after another close combat, she left.

Yuzhu returned to Zuiyan Tower and reunited with Yan Sheng, and handed over what had just happened and the topaz in her hand to Yan Sheng.

Yan Lang was also stunned, "The topaz token of the Golden Branch Tower! It seems that what Senior Sister said is true."

"Yuzhu, you continue to go to the black market to inquire about Jiaoniang's information. I'm going to Jinxiufang."

Yan Sheng knocked on the door of Jinxiufang several times.

"Any news about your new wife?" Song Fengren asked as he opened the door.

"Not yet, but my people have made a new discovery."

Yan Sheng handed the jade to Song Fengren.

"People from Jinzhi Tower? Are you saying that Jiaoniang's disappearance is related to Jinzhi Tower? But aren't our identities known only to our teacher? Could it be that someone in the court betrayed our identities?!"

"Jiao Niang's disappearance has nothing to do with Jinzhilou, it's just that the people from Jinzhilou have extended their hands to the south.

What you said now seems to be true, so I want you to hand this letter to the teacher in person.

I did not receive the letter you mentioned. When my falcon flew over, I saw that its wings were pierced by arrows, so I guessed that someone had done it on purpose.

"Then I will set off for Beijing at daybreak."

"When you pass through Fangzhou County, I will let Yuanlu accompany you."

...

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was a sound of kicking on the door downstairs in Jinxiufang.

"Who?"
