Chapter 121 Benefits
The voices of Zhang Zhizhou and Mu Zhengbai were not very loud, and Ruan He could not hear them clearly. He could only vaguely hear the words father-in-law and uncle.
They could only see from a distance, Mu Zhengbai holding his father-in-law's hand with great enthusiasm, whispering incessantly, and they didn't know what Zhang Zhizhou had promised. Mu Zhengbai kept smiling with his mouth open. It rose high and never came down.
So what benefits did Zhang Zhizhou promise to make Mu Zhengbai so happy?
No matter how powerful Zhang Zhizhou's official power is, he cannot take away an exiled prisoner. If Li Jiang gets a copy of it, it will not just be a matter of losing his hat.
Just as Ruan He was pondering their words carefully, trying to get some news from them, a voice came from the side.
"It's late at night. You should go back and rest first. We will set off to Zhizhou Mansion tomorrow."
Li Jiangzheng walked over. He didn't seem to be relaxed as if he had solved a serious problem. Instead, he frowned and looked at the two of them and said.
Mu Zhengbai nodded, gently took his wife's hand and walked to the attic.
"Okay, Mr. Li, let's go back first."
When the two returned to the room, Mrs. Mutai and her family were anxiously worried about the situation below. When they saw that the couple had returned safely, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
It was almost late at night. The whole family had been frightened and exhausted all night. After only saying a few words, Mrs. Mutai took Mu Yunchao, Aunt Zong and her daughter back to the original room as usual.
Everyone else left, and as soon as the door was closed, they were the only two people left in the room.
At this moment, the surroundings became quiet again.
Mu Yunxiao stared at Ruan He intently, with a hint of hesitation in his dark eyes. After a moment, he asked, "How did Madam get the Zhizhou officers and soldiers to come over?"
They fought with the group of men in black for more than half an hour. This place was very close to the Zhizhou Mansion, but the officers and soldiers seemed to have not received any news and did not come for a long time.
And now, a large group of them were rushing over in a hurry. There must be a reason for it.
This was just Mu Yunxiao's guess, but over the past few days, he had gotten to know his wife better. She was by no means someone who would just sit back and wait for death. She would definitely find a solution in the room.
After hearing this, Ruan He paused for a moment, his expression became slightly stiff, and then he briefly explained what he had just done.
"I set a fire in several nearby houses that looked like dignitaries, forcing the officers and soldiers from Zhizhou to come over and put out the fire."
When he heard that she had set the fire, Mu Yunxiao was surprised. Then he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips, coughed lightly and said, "Madam, you are so thoughtful."
Hearing this, he seemed to have thought of something again. He raised his eyes and stared at Ruan He, thoughtfully.
Before he could speak, Ruan He thought he was worried about the impact of the fire, so he explained aloud: "The ones I picked were all wealthy households, and they called for firefighting immediately, so they should not cause anything." It’s a big impact, but it’s enough to call the officers and soldiers over.”
Mu Yunxiao shook his head lightly, and then suddenly changed his tone and said, "I just suspect that those people in black are related to the Zhizhou Prefecture."
Ruan He had already doubted his guess. She nodded and said, "As soon as we entered the city, the group of killers came immediately upon hearing the news. I don't believe it if there is nothing to do with it."
However, there was no evidence, and all of this was just speculation based on her feeling that Tongzhou was full of weirdness.
"But I can't say for sure." Ruan He thought of something again, shook his head, and then said: "It may be just my guess, but the background behind this killer is definitely not simple. He can act in Tongzhou with such arrogance, especially If you dare to take action so close to the Zhizhou Prefecture, you must not be afraid of that Zhizhou Zhizhou." It was dark outside the window, it was already silent late at night, and they could not come up with any results after their discussion.
"Rest, I will take care of this matter." Mu Yunxiao gently held Ruan He's slender wrist and said warmly.
The two of them followed the exile team non-stop for a whole day and experienced such a thrilling night. Now that they were relaxed, they couldn't suppress their sleepiness.
A night without dreams.
When Ruan He opened his eyes again, it was already dawn.
The noise of officials shouting could be heard outside, and Ruan He quickly turned over and climbed out of bed.
She raised her eyes and glanced at the scorching sun hanging high outside. It must have been almost noon, and she went out much later than usual this morning.
Thinking about it, Li Jiang considered that the officers were exhausted from fighting last night. In addition, many of the officers had suffered more or less stab wounds, and lack of rest would also affect the healing of the wounds.
Besides, this place is very close to Zhizhou Mansion, and it won't take long to walk there. They should rest in Zhizhou Mansion these two days, so they don't have to walk around.
The officials re-counted the number of all the prisoners, and then led such a large group of people directly to the Zhizhou Mansion.
Ruan He's family still didn't need to wear handcuffs or shackles, and they walked quietly beside the official.
The inn where they stayed was a little dilapidated and deserted, but the nearby mansions were more luxurious than the last.
Just as the exile team walked out of the inn door, a few people in front happened to be running over.
An elderly butler with a long gray beard was shouting anxiously to the people following him, and worriedly chanting: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Our young master can't stand this trouble!"
Several people in long coats, who looked like doctors, each carried a large medicine box and ran towards the house in a panic.
It turned out that this had nothing to do with them, but Ruan He accidentally looked up and saw the big house not far away from them, which happened to be one of the houses she set on fire last night.
Ruan He couldn't help but think about it a little bit, and then heard the elderly housekeeper talking righteously, with a look of sadness and worry on his face.
"The fire that killed us almost burned our young master to death!"
As the doctors were walking, their foreheads were covered with sweat, they did not forget to inquire about the young master. Upon hearing this, they all looked a little embarrassed.
"How could this young master be burned in such a good way? Fire is ruthless, and the injuries caused by the fire are difficult to cure!"
The old housekeeper simply sighed, and while calling the doctors to the direction of the house, he said with annoyance: "Oh! The little maid was negligent and didn't notice that our young master was secretly having fun. He ran to the backyard and fell asleep outside, and the fire almost made it possible to save him!"
