Chapter 170 Inextricably linked (2)

Wen Jisheng: "..." He was stunned for a moment, and then sat back upright: "Oh, so that's the case. It would be great if Governor Jiang could be invited to take action..." His eyes flickered, and then he said: " I will grind ink for you."

Governor Jiang is dedicated to his duties and is upright. If he hears about the unjust cases in the Shifang Mansion, he will naturally not sit idly by.Furthermore, Governor Jiang will definitely personally intervene in the case involving collusion between government and businessmen.

However, Ban Xiyu couldn't reveal her identity, so she could only imitate her grandfather's handwriting and write a letter, and also added a token in the envelope.

It was a jade order given by her grandfather before she "leaved the pavilion".With this jade order, Governor Jiang will not be suspicious.

After sealing the envelope, Ban Xiyu handed over the letter to Wen Jisheng for processing.Wen Jisheng had many ways, so he found a colleague in Shifang Mansion that night, gave him some silver and asked someone to deliver the letter for him.

There was nothing to say that night, until the next morning, Cao Ruxing arranged for Master Cao to be buried according to what Wen Jisheng and Ban Xiyu said.

Originally, the waiter at the inn was still worried about Ban Xiyu's taking in Cao Ruxing the day before, but now that they persuaded Cao Ruxing to send away the corpse parked in the backyard, this time they finally stopped putting on a bad face.

He watched several strong men carry the coffin out of the door, and at the same time said in a relieved tone:

"Mr. Cao, you are good at everything, but you are too stubborn. But it's good if you can think about it, and it will save your father from being in peace. In the future, you should take good care of yourself and don't think about it all day long. Revenge, you can't fight!"

Cao Ruxing's face darkened when he heard what he said, and without saying a word, he shook off his hand on his shoulder, then let out a heavy "hum", turned his head and left.

Xiao Er was not angry when he rolled his eyes - he was too happy to have such a big trouble in the inn.So, he moved closer to Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng:
"You two are really rare and kind people!" As he said, Xiaoer said mysteriously: "But you have to be careful, Cao Ruxing is a thorn in Master Zhao's eyes, and if you help him this time, Master Zhao will probably retaliate Yours."

Wen Jisheng is not afraid of revenge from a small merchant.He protected Ban Xiyu and walked forward. Before leaving, he turned his head and said: "If he wants revenge, just come. We are always waiting."

He and Ban Xiyu walked side by side, and accompanied the funeral procession all the way to the outside of the city.At the same time, the people who had been watching secretly watched them go out of the city gate, turned around and forwarded the news to the Zhao Mansion in the north of the city.

Hear the silence and hear the wind and move.He turned his head, caught a glimpse of two figures hurrying away in the distance, and then whispered in Ban Xiyu's ear: "Zhao Xinke's people have gone to tip off the news."

Ban Xiyu also looked back, and said: "Cao Ruxing was isolated and helpless, Zhao Xinke was not in a hurry to deal with him. Now that you and I intervene, Zhao Xinke may want to kill the grass to protect himself."

At this moment, those two eyeliners went back to report, and it might not be long before the Zhao family's killers would come after them.

Ban Xiyu asked, "How long will it take for the person you entrusted to deliver the letter to Governor Jiang?"

"Don't worry about the person I'm looking for. I think he should have arrived at Governor Jiang's residence by now." Wen Jisheng said.

"Ah."

The two of them talked in low voices all the way, and watched Master Cao's burial with their own eyes.After the coffin was piled with soil, and the stele was erected and incense burned, Cao Ruxing cried for a long time alone in front of the grave.

Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng didn't bother, and after Cao Ruxing said goodbye to his father, the three got together.

Cao Ruxing's eyes were red from crying, and his voice was hoarse.He lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to kneel down to the two of them: "Thank you for your generous help. If it weren't for your help, my Cao family's injustice case may never be cleared. Please accept my respect to the two benefactors—"

Before he knelt down, Wen Jisheng immediately pulled him up: "Don't thank you, don't thank you, but it's just a little effort, there is no need to perform such a big gift."

Ban Xiyu also said: "It hasn't been resolved yet, and it won't be too late for Governor Jiang to question Zhao Xinke and Zhang Zhifu."

As she said that, she and Wen Jisheng looked at each other, and said: "It's just that you may not be able to go to Shifangfu now, so you have to find a hiding place to hide for a while."

Cao Ruxing understood the meaning of her words: "I was monitored by Zhao Xinke's people. When they learned that I buried my father, they must have informed Zhao Xinke of the news. If you help me, I'm afraid you will be retaliated against."

As he spoke, he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, but this time I have troubled you—but, you said, there are other ways to deal with Zhao Xinke and Zhang Zhifu, but there is progress?"

Ban Xiyu said: "There is some progress, but the 'rescue' can't arrive immediately. So for your safety, I have to ask you to stay away for a while."

Cao Ruxing: "What about you?"

Wen Jisheng replied: "We have our own way to deal with it, so you don't need to worry about this."

Seeing that they were confident, Cao Ruxing naturally had no doubts, so he followed what Wen Jisheng said, and left first, and under the cover of Wen Jisheng, he found a hidden place to hide.

After that, Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng turned back the same way.However, they did not return to the city, but took two horses and detoured on the official road outside the city.

The official road is conspicuous, in this way, it can attract the attention of Zhao Xinke and others, and avoid the trouble of going back to Cao Ruxing; on the other hand, they also have to raise some dry food in several inns outside the city for the road diet.

Just when they were about to leave the boundary of Shifang Mansion, the surrounding wind direction finally changed.

Ban Xiyu was sitting on the horse, hearing the rustling sound from both sides of the road, and the sound of kicking footsteps chasing up from the two sides behind.

At the same time, Wen Jisheng tightened the reins.

"Stop!—"

An angry roar chased after them, and then, two teams of people outflanked and stepped forward from the rear, but in the blink of an eye, Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng were surrounded by the group of guards.

Ban Xiyu reined in his horse and turned around. When he looked around, he saw a middle-aged man surrounded by guards.

He was a bit bloated, with triangular eyes hanging under his eyebrows, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he was full of malicious intentions when he stared at Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng.

Ban Xiyu took a closer look and found that the visitor was dressed luxuriously, with jade rings on his fingers, a gold belt, and golden boots on his feet, with a lot of gold and silver piled up all over his body.

She thought, the person in front of her should be Zhao Xinke, the legendary evildoer.

"Hmph, you want to leave after helping Cao Ruxing? Dreaming!" Zhao Xinke spat hard, and said, "Against me, heh, you don't even ask, in Shifang Mansion, can I, Zhao Xinke, be messed with?!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Xinke stared fiercely, and immediately gave orders: "Kill these two people! - Whoever can take their heads will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver! -"
