Her guards

Chapter 137 Senior Brother is Right

"Senior brother, the interior of your carriage is quite ordinary."

Mo Zheng looked around the car, somewhat surprised.

The car was empty, with nothing inside, and was far less luxurious than its exterior.

Perhaps there was no need to show it to others, for Wei Jiao's bright smile from before was gone. She leaned lazily against the window and chuckled, "It's enough that I'm an extraordinary person in this car; nothing else is needed."

Mo Zheng smiled: "Senior brother is right."

Wei Jiao looked at her and said, "Are you really going to pull me like this in front of others?"

I told her to get in the car, and she actually dared to come up in front of so many people.

"Senior brother——"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Zheng took a step forward and looked at Wei Jiao with a tense and solemn expression.

"That Miss Chai from the Marquis of Yichun's mansion wants to kill me."

Wei Jiao scoffed: "I think you're the one who wants to kill her. Chai Wan'er was just testing you, and you're acting like you're digging up her ancestral graves."

He raised an eyebrow and smiled again as he said this.

"But this time, Miss Yang doesn't need to call me for help. Someone has come to her rescue."

Mo Zheng took another step closer and lowered her voice, saying, "I also suspect that this Marquis of Yongwu wants to kill me."

Wei Jiao couldn't help but burst into laughter. He turned slightly to the side, almost touching Mo Zheng's head, and whispered, "Miss Yang, do you think everyone wants to kill you? Then why are you even out here? Wouldn't it be better to stay at home and hide from everyone?"

Mo Zheng shook her head: "Not good..."

“Oh right, you think the Duke of Ding’an also wants to kill you?” Wei Jiao chimed in, smiling.

Mo Zheng nodded: "That's why I came out. I'm using myself as bait to see who wants to kill me." As she said this, she looked at Wei Jiao and smiled sadly, "Even if I die, I want to die knowing the truth."

His eyes were full of anticipation as he spoke.

"Captain, have you had people watching me the whole time? Have you noticed which person here today wants to kill me?"

"Have you found out who was behind the bookstore that day?"

Without waiting for Wei Jiao's reply, he nodded thoughtfully.

"One is a bookstore, and the other is a restaurant. They're both buildings, so it's likely the same person who did it. It must have been the Marquis of Yichun's residence."

After saying that, he grabbed Wei Jiao's arm.

"Senior brother, I'll sue the Marquis of Yichun's mansion first. You'll be my witness then, right?"

Wei Jiao thought he was already quite good at framing people, but this bastard was even better than him. Only someone more insane than him could say such reckless things.

Being this close, I always feel like this bastard is going to bite him.

He extended a finger and pushed her away from her shoulder.

"Junior sister, don't worry. You insulted Chai Wan'er so badly today. Just wait for the Marquis of Yichun's mansion to sue you. You can then file a counter-suit. As for testifying for you, I don't need to do it."

He looked at her, raised an eyebrow, and smiled.

"Isn't that Prince Zhu going to testify for you? Don't you suspect he's going to kill you too? When the time comes, have him testify. That way you can verify whether he's really testifying for you or just taking advantage of your misfortune."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the woman's eyes light up instantly.

“That’s right. If both of them want to kill me, I can make them fight each other first.” Mo Zheng clapped her hands and laughed, looking at Wei Jiao with admiration in her eyes. “As expected, Senior Brother is the best at this kind of thing. Thank you very much.”

After saying that, he sat up straight and looked left and right.

"Senior brother, you don't even have tea in your car. You're so frugal."

Unable to serve tea or water, they could only express their concern through words.

"Senior brother, you must be very busy. What important case have you been working on lately?"

He dared to take a knife when he was pretending to be a guard, and he pretended to care when he called him "senior brother". Wei Jiao said lazily, "I'm busy catching the remnants of the previous dynasty. That's much more important than whether you live or die."

Remnants of the previous dynasty...

"Didn't Senior Brother capture some remnants of the Sun family earlier?" Mo Zheng asked in surprise, "How come there are still others?"

“Of course we need to have it.” Wei Jiao raised an eyebrow. “If we don’t, wouldn’t I have nothing to do?”

Mo Zheng said solemnly, "There are countless demons and monsters in this world, so Senior Brother will definitely not be idle."

Wei Jiao couldn't help but burst out laughing. Does this bastard always have to convince himself before he can say such lies so smoothly?
Seeing him smile, the scoundrel seized the opportunity to climb up the ladder. "Senior brother, if you help me, I can help you too."

"What clues do you have about the remnants of the previous dynasty? Tell me, and I'll keep an eye out for you too."

"Maybe those who want to kill me also know some clues."

"They're all bad people, hmm, they must be connected."

Wei Jiao couldn't stand it anymore, and kicked out with her long leg...

Mo Zheng tilted slightly to the side, watching Wei Jiao's leg brush past her shoulder and kick the car door.

"Go down," Wei Jiao said.

The moving carriages and horses came to an instant.

.......
.......
"Senior brother, I'm serious, I can help."

Mo Zheng stepped off the carriage, using the back of her embroidered clothes as a foothold, and stood beside the carriage, speaking again.

There was no response from inside the carriage, and the carriage, surrounded by women in embroidered robes, moved forward.

The crowd that had retreated from the street stared in shock at the girl getting off the medical vehicle, pointing and whispering amongst themselves.

"Miss, please get in the car."

Yang Luo, who had been following behind, lifted the carriage curtain and greeted them softly.

Mo Zheng didn't linger and got into the car.

"What is he here for?" Yang Luo asked in a low voice.

Mo Zheng smiled and said, "Just watch the show and add to the excitement. Don't pay any attention to him."

However, Wei Jiao did say something useful; he was indeed looking for remnants of the previous dynasty.

The remnant of the previous dynasty we're looking for should be her.

The emperor was indeed searching for this former dynasty's young prince.

Hearing her say not to worry about it, Yang Luo stopped asking questions and started talking about the reactions she had seen at the banquet.

"Needless to say, Chai Wan'er came with ill intentions and was full of malice towards Miss Yang. Li Rong seemed friendly, but in reality, every word she said was stirring up trouble," she said.

“From this, it seems that Consort Li must have known Miss Yang’s identity,” Mo Zheng said softly. “She would never incite ordinary people to clash with the Empress’s family.”

Ordinary people can't possibly be enemies with the Empress; they're easily defeated.

"I wonder what Consort Li did last time, and whether it had anything to do with my death," Yang Luo said in a low voice.

In that lifetime, she didn't even know that Consort Li existed.

I chuckled to myself as I said this.

"It turns out that the people around me either want me dead or want to use me to kill others. It's a dead end."

Mo Zheng laughed and said, "No, no, Miss Yang has someone else by her side this time." As she spoke, she pointed to Yang Luo, "With Young Master Mo's help."

Yang Luo was amused. She took the jade pendant the old man had given her out of her sleeve and gave a wry smile: "Young Master Mo is no better than Miss Yang."

The people around them were eyeing them with hostility, showing no goodwill whatsoever.

Mo Zheng reached out and gently poked the jade pendant, saying, "This isn't necessarily a bad thing. We can use malice to counter malice."

Using malice to fight malice? Yang Luo looked at her.

“When I first arrived, I was alone and faced the dangers of having two identities, so I didn’t dare to act rashly,” Mo Zheng said. “Now that we are each providing cover, it’s time to stir up some excitement in the capital.”

He smiled again as he said this.

"What's so great about these girls making a ruckus?"

"Let them see the excitement we're giving them, that's what real excitement is."

What's all the commotion about? Yang Luo asked, puzzled.

Mo Zheng called out loudly, "Uncle, please stop at Jubao General Store for a moment. We're going to buy some New Year's goods for Miss Liu."

The old coachman replied, "Yes."

"Let's go." Mo Zheng looked at Yang Luo again and said softly, "You should go see someone."
