The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

Seeing Rong Shu's look, Wu Jin felt a little proud.

"That's right, Wu Ping has been practicing martial arts since he was young."

"Oh? I wonder who your master is?"

Wu Jin shook his head. "I don't know. When I was little, my father saved a seriously injured man. He was recuperating at my house. Seeing that he had good Kung Fu skills, my father asked him to train two masters for my family."

Rong Shu didn't believe it: "So he taught me?"

"That man didn't want to at first, but his injuries were too severe and he needed a lot of precious medicinal herbs. He had no choice but to choose Wu Ping and Wu Xin to practice martial arts."

When Wu Jin said this, she had a smug smile on her face. Although she was beautiful, people couldn't help but murmur that she looked like a smug villain.

Rong Shu snorted coldly: "How dare you! You dare to rescue your father without knowing anything about him. What if he is a spy from the enemy country?"

Wu Jin was frightened by Rong Shu's words: "Butler Rong, it wasn't my father who saved me, it was... it was..."

"What is it? Tell me!"

"He held me hostage. I'm his only son, so I had no choice but to take him in..."

Wu Jin said this quickly and hastily, his face flushed with embarrassment, and then he quickly added another sentence.

"That man lived in my house for more than three months, and then he left. My father later reported the case to the authorities, and they should be able to find the criminal record."

Rong Shu stared straight at Wu Jin.

"Where are you from? When did it happen?"

"My home is in Luyan County. When did this happen..."

Wu Jin looked at Wu Ping and said, "I was still young at that time, I didn't know. Wu Ping, do you remember?"

Wu Ping counted on his fingers and looked at Wu Xin, who was a little older.

"What month was it in the winter eight years ago?"

Wu Xin was a little unsure. "It should have been July or August, when the weather was still very hot. The man suddenly took the young master hostage and forced the master to rescue him. He stayed at home for a few months, and then the weather turned cold, and he left."

"What does that man look like?"

Wu Ping thought for a moment and said, "Master... well, that thief had dark skin, a slightly pointed chin, a cold look in his eyes, a high nose, a black mole on the tip of his nose, and another between his eyebrows. Oh, and there's a few small words on this part of his neck, but I don't recognize them."

As Wu Ping spoke, he pointed to a spot between his right shoulder blade and neck.

Rong Shu's pupils shrank: "What color are the words?"

Wu Ping thought for a while and said, "It seems to be blue. I was still a child at that time. I only discovered it when he asked me to give him a bath the day before he left. I don't remember it clearly..."

Blue? Rong Shu already had a clear idea in his mind.

He has lived in the Seventh Prince's mansion for many years and is the Seventh Prince's confidant, so he knows a lot.

In July eight years ago, the eldest son of the late king was assassinated on Wuyuan Avenue.

The heir originally chosen by the previous king died, and the matter of appointing a crown prince was delayed.

This has led to the current situation where the princes of Beirong are fighting each other.

Since the death of the previous king during the Winter Mu Festival last year, the twelve princes have been fighting endlessly, and seven of them died within a year.

When the eldest prince died, the late king was furious, but the assassin was never caught. He only seemed to have escaped to the Qiyan family, the mother's family of the eleventh prince.

Qi Yan was deeply loved by the previous king, and the assassin had not been caught and there was no evidence.

Although the former king was angry, the matter was left unresolved.

However, after that, the Eleventh Prince completely fell out of favor.

During the Winter Mu Festival last year, the late king passed away, and Queen Meng Long became regent with the support of the Meng family.

The Meng family holds a high status in the Northern Rong and is the maternal family of all the successive queens.

Queen Meng had only one legitimate son, the eldest prince who has now passed away.

Among the remaining princes, the ninth prince was the son of another branch of the Meng family.

Compared to others, Queen Meng is closer to the Ninth Prince.

The Ninth Prince also has the support of the Meng family, and his power is far greater than that of others.

If it weren't for the strong opposition from other princes and ministers, and Queen Meng herself being a little hesitant, the Ninth Prince would have already been the new King of Beirong.

After Queen Meng became regent, the ninth prince used the excuse of assassinating the eldest prince eight years ago to kill the eleventh prince.

The Ninth Prince used thundering methods, and the princes who had been fighting each other immediately united and worked together to weaken the Ninth Prince's power.

Among the five existing princes, the ninth prince has the greatest power and is the one with the greatest hope of becoming the new king.

The second is the Seventh Prince. For this reason, the Ninth Prince regards the Seventh Prince as his number one rival.

The seventh prince did not dare to be arrogant, and he formed a short-term alliance with the third prince, the eighth prince, and the tenth prince.

However, the third prince, the eighth prince, and the tenth prince have formed a small alliance. They now just want to use the seventh prince as a shield and eliminate the seventh prince after the ninth prince dies.

The Seventh Prince knew it very well, but he still had no choice but to form an alliance with them...

Rong Shu was shocked when he heard Wu Jin and Wu Ping talk about the people the Wu family had rescued.

It turns out that the Eleventh Prince was not the mastermind behind the incident.

So who is the real murderer?

Wuyuan Avenue, where the eldest prince was killed, is not far from Luyan County. Didn’t anyone suggest searching Luyan County at that time?

The assassin was rescued by Wu Jin's father. Whether he was forced or rescued voluntarily, it would be a serious crime if the Wu family pursued it.

However, Rong Shu would not arrest Wu Jin and others for this reason.

Eight years have passed since the incident, and more than half of the princes have died. It doesn't make any sense whether the truth can be uncovered or not.

He wanted to inform his master of this matter in detail, especially the identity of the assassin, who was suspected to be from Nanlai.

If this matter can be made into something, it will only benefit his master.

Although Rong Shu believed what the young boys said, he was still not sure in his heart.

"I've only taught you for three months, and you've already mastered your Kung Fu so well?"

Wu Ping scratched his head with a simple and honest look on his face.

"My master...that person said that I have a good talent. As long as I memorize the moves and practice diligently, I will definitely become a master among masters."

Wu Jin was also excited when he saw that Rong Shu was no longer as harsh as before.

"Yes, Wu Ping is very good at martial arts. This time when I was traveling and studying, I encountered many robbers, but they were all beaten away by Wu Ping."

He is young and good-looking. Although his smile is a bit flattering, his eyes are clear, making it easy for people to believe what he says.

"Where exactly are you from in Luyan County, little brother? Who else is in your family?"

Wu Jin acted naive and innocent: "My home is in Hushi Street, Luyan County. My father's name is Wu He, and he's the owner of the Wu Family Trading Company."

Rong Shu pondered for a long time and winked at the guard beside him. The guard received the order and quickly went to Luyan County.

"My dear brothers, you have worked hard today. Why don't you go to the Seventh Prince's house and have a seat?"

Wu Jin looked eager to try.

"Is it possible? Is it really possible? The highest-ranking official our family has ever met was the chief clerk of the Luyan County Magistrate..."

The chief clerk of a county in Beirong was responsible for collecting taxes and grain and managing household registration. He had certain rights but actually had no rank.

The onlookers couldn't help but laugh. The young boy looked like a fawning villain, but after all, he was still young and didn't know how to hide it.

Rong Shu's face softened a bit: "Of course."

Wu Xin pulled Wu Jin's clothes and spoke in a voice that he thought others could not hear, but people who were close could hear it, and then he leaned over to Wu Jin's ear.

"Master, we can't go. Our family is just a small wealthy family. They are a prince's mansion, and we don't understand the rules of a wealthy family. What if we accidentally offend them?"

Wu Jin looked embarrassed. They really couldn't afford to offend the Seventh Prince's Mansion, but he didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to climb up the social ladder.
