To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

Chapter 177 Why doesn’t Lord Liu smile? Is he worried about something?

The situation was critical, and he didn't fully understand Jiusu's strategy.

But there was no better solution at the moment, so he returned the automatic aiming crossbow and said, "Susu, since you are here, take these and use them easily."

Jiusu is not easy to put into the system.

Jiang Jing took it and said, "I'll carry it for you."

County government.

It was late at night and raining heavily, and the shop had already been closed. They cursed, "Who is so blind that he doesn't know that my master has gone to bed? If you have any grievances, come back tomorrow."

Jiusu gave the secret guard a look.

The secret guard actually understood what she meant and threatened the guard's neck with a sword, "Open the door! The master is visiting, how dare you act rashly?"

There are guards leading the way.

Soon, they arrived.

Jiusu noticed the changes around him and chuckled, "They helped us gather our troops first."

-

boom!

Lou Ming ordered his men to break open the gate. Looking at the candlelight in the house, he waved his hand and the yard was surrounded by layers of people. "Catch them alive! I want to use this to lure out Jiang Jing and Jiusu."

I rushed into the house and found no one there.

After searching around: "Sir, they ran away!"

There was a note on the table. Lou Ming picked it up and repeated, "No one is here. Remember to help close the door before you leave!?"

As he read further, his tone became increasingly angry.

How abominable!

He looked at these three or four hundred people, his mind went blank. Jiang Jinyou was not a god, so why did he predict that they would come here and leave a note in advance?

There is only one possibility.

There is a spy among them.

Lou Ming ordered: "Go back and tell the prince that there is a spy among us!" Suddenly, he saw the map that had not been taken down from the wall. He picked up the candlestick and saw heavy fingerprints on the county government office.

The scout came to report: "Sir, the footsteps disappeared at the county government office."

"Hahaha, going to the county government office? Isn't that walking into a trap?" Lou Ming rode on his horse. The autumn wind was like a knife, cutting his face and it was extremely painful. "Buy two pots of wine, and I will have a good drink with the county magistrate. If we can catch Jiang Jinyou, the prince will definitely reward us tomorrow."

Lou Qing asked: "Brother, do you know the county magistrate?"

“I didn’t know him, but we became familiar with each other today.” Lou Ming said.

Outside the yamen, there was silence.

The gate to the mansion was wide open, without even a guard.

Lou Ming frowned in confusion, but soon he came to his senses. He smiled and said, "It seems that the county magistrate has finished the interrogation and is waiting for me in the house. Give me the wine."

They dismounted from their horses and walked towards the mansion.

"Your Excellency the County Magistrate..."

Whoosh whoosh!

Along with the raindrops, sharp arrows flew in densely. Lou Ming grabbed the servant beside him to block the arrows and thus avoided death. He hid at the gate of the mansion and cursed.

"You son of a bitch! Such a welcome gift?"

Lou Qing shouted, "Mr. County Magistrate, why are you shooting arrows at us? Is there some misunderstanding here?"

Liu Fangkai asked according to what Jiusu told him.

"Are you hunting down a newly appointed official of the court?"

"Yes!" Lou Qing nodded, "We have received orders to kill him."

Jiusu whispered, "If the emperor knew that Lord Liu was just a small county magistrate, but he risked his life for the sake of fine salt, I'm afraid he would be very pleased."

The emperor was delighted? An image of the emperor laughing flashed through Liu Fangkai's mind.

He swallowed.

"Shoot! You actually committed a crime in Wutie County. Lord Jiu, rest assured, I will keep you safe and let you make fine salt in peace."

"I will definitely mention Lord Liu in front of the emperor." Jiusu flattered.

Sharp arrows pierced through the gate of the mansion and passed over the courtyard wall, killing or injuring more than half of the people brought by Lou Ming. They braved the pain and attacked forcefully. The people under Liu Fangkai were no pushovers either.

Ten secret guards also joined the battle.

Lou Ming shouted, "You bastard, how dare you betray King Chang?"

Liu Fangkai only heard "dog stuff".

He rushed to the yard and spat, "You son of a bitch, you dare to kill someone in front of me, if you want to die, just say so! Old man, come, shoot his umbrella crooked and make him a drowned chicken!"

Jiusu raised his crossbow and aimed at Lou Ming's legs.

Whoosh, the sharp arrow pierced the man. He jumped up on the spot, then fell down again. Then, King Chang's men retreated. The things given by the God of Wealth were really useful.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang."

They moved into the house, and Liu Fangkai told his men to be prepared for the group's counterattack. Then, he poured Jiusu a cup of tea and asked, "Why do I feel that group of people are very familiar?"

The three of them lowered their heads, unable to hide their smiles.

Jiang Jinyou coughed lightly, stood up and bowed: "To be honest, I was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the iron mine in Wutie County. The Chang Wang and his party found out and sent people to block it. Fortunately, you came to rescue me."

bang bang bang.

The teacup in Liu Fangkai's hand kept shaking. "Who noticed it?"

Jiang Jinyou repeated.

"King Chang."

Liu Fangkai felt dizzy and fell to the ground with the wooden chair. When the water in his hand splashed on his face, he came to his senses and said, "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!"

There was a sly flash in Jiusu's eyes, and she asked curiously.

"Master Liu, what's wrong with your heaven?"

Liu Fangkai cried heartbreakingly: "The sky is falling!!!"

Jiang Jing put his feet into the back of the chair and kicked it gently, straightening both him and the chair. He walked around Liu Fangkai and finally slapped his hands on the back of the chair.

"Why is the sky falling, Lord Liu? Because you are King Chang's man, but now, you helped us escape from King Chang's control and offended him. You are afraid and you don't know what to do, right?"

"Right..." Liu Fangkai hurriedly shook his head, "No, that's not right."

Jiang Jing nodded secretly: "Oh, I guessed wrong, it seems that Lord Liu is not the King Chang's man."

Liu Fangkai swallowed nervously.

He said in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes, yes."

Jiusu asked: "Then why don't you smile, Lord Liu? Are you worried about something?"

“Haha.” Liu Fangkai forced a smile, but he burst into tears while smiling, “Wow, wow, wow, laugh at my grandma’s legs, I’ve really gotten into big trouble, you turned out to be Jiang Jinyou? You came to investigate Prince Chang, and I helped you, but I, I died unjustly.”

He slapped himself and cried bitterly.

If King Chang knew about this, he would be finished.

Jiang Jinyou patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, I'm really sorry. How about I take you to explain to King Chang? Once you have explained it, everything will be fine."

Liu Fangkai had a wronged look on his face, tears streaming down his face.

"What do you mean it's okay? The incident is over, but I'm gone too!" he said excitedly.

Jiang Jing tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I do have a plan, but I wonder if Lord Liu dares to do it."

Liu Fangkai asked quickly: "As long as it can keep me and my family alive, what is there that I dare not do? Tell me quickly, King Chang is coming soon! When that happens, we will all die!"

Jiang Jing said: "This plan is called the Golden Cicada's method of escaping from its shell, a method of turning the tables."

Escape and make a comeback?

He recited these two sentences silently, and they sounded like they had good meanings.

"Tell me the details!"

"Completely betray Prince Chang! Show your loyalty to the Emperor. Before they go far, we will go up the mountain overnight and destroy Prince Chang's lair!" Jiang Jing narrowed his eyes and said in a firm tone.

Liu Fangkai slid to his knees, terrified, "Did you destroy the Chang King's lair?"
