Zhao's house.
The housekeeper sent Zhang Lanyue to the gate and said respectfully:
"Miss Zhang, Lord Zhao said he is not feeling well and cannot see you off. Please forgive me."
Zhang Lanyue looked back at the plaque on the door of the Zhao Mansion. The crazy scene in the back garden last night lingered in her mind.
Zhao Jiamu was like a madman, asking for things from her again and again.
Zhang Lanyue was once suppressed by him to the point of being sore and weak, unable to move.
She even suspected that Zhao Jiamu was not a mortal at all, otherwise how could he give her a more enjoyable and exciting experience than a martial artist like Li Yan who was in the Condensation Realm? It was not until dawn that Zhao Jiamu suddenly bled out, and Zhang Lanyue realized what was going on.
Zhao Jiamu's atrocities last night were entirely caused by overdrawing his body with the help of drugs.
From the fact that he was so weak that he couldn't get out of bed afterwards, Zhang Lanyue guessed that this kind of drug would probably damage his lifespan.
I really can't understand why he would treat me so crazily.
Just because she is Li Yan's fiancée, can Zhao Jiamu find a sense of accomplishment from her?
Haha, it's so stupid!
How could Li Yan care about these so-called stains on her?
After all, I have silently paid so much, and all this effort and perseverance Chi just wanted to marry Li Yan and become his only wife in this life.
As long as she could successfully win the precious quota of Tianjiao Hunting, Li Yan's love for her would become deeper and stronger, and he would rely on and be attached to her more and more from now on.
There is no doubt that the two of them would become a pair of immortal lovers that the world envied.
As for what happened between her and Zhao Jiamu last night?
For her, it was at most like being bitten by an insignificant little bug, which was not worth mentioning at all.
As time passed, this matter would naturally fade away from her mind.
On the other hand, Zhao Jiamu would probably have to constantly recall the soul-stirring and unforgettable experience of last night for the long years to come.
And she would become the woman he longed for, dreamed of, but could never have, and become someone he would never forget.
Thinking that Zhao Jiamu would have to spend the future in such painful torment, Zhang Lanyue couldn't help but smile with a hint of irony at the corner of her mouth.
"Go back and tell Mr. Zhao that the task I asked him to do must be completed. Otherwise,……"
She snorted coldly, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her cold eyes. That look seemed to be able to penetrate people's souls, making people shudder.
The housekeeper lowered his head in fear, his body trembling slightly as he said,"I've made a note of it, and I will definitely pass on Miss Zhang's words intact."
Before he finished speaking, a fragrant breeze blew by.
When the housekeeper looked up again, where was Zhang Lanyue?
He couldn't help but let out a long sigh and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hand.
"What a close call! This girl is really hard to mess with."The housekeeper muttered to himself.
He did not dare to delay for a moment, and hurried back to the mansion, and ordered the servants to close the door tightly.
"Lord Zhao has really stirred up a hornet's nest this time, even daring to take ruthless action against the women of Muyang Sect. If the matter fails, I'm afraid the entire Zhao Mansion will suffer a devastating disaster.……"
Thinking of this, the housekeeper became more and more uneasy.
The housekeeper walked into the courtyard worriedly, and he had already begun to secretly plan to run away.
Once he found that something was wrong, he must run away as soon as possible. When Zhang Lanyue brought the Muyang clan to retaliate, it would be too late to run away at that time.
Although being the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion was indeed quite comfortable and pleasant, not only was the salary generous, but the work was also relatively easy, and he only had to manage many servants in the mansion.
Occasionally, he could flirt with the maids in the mansion, and even had the honor of being favored by several ladies and enjoying the pleasure of secret love.
However, in the face of life and death, these seemed insignificant.
Money is important, but losing life means nothing.
A woman can also find a new love. How can she be happy if she loses her life?
Just as the housekeeper was hesitating whether to take the fourth lady who shared his feelings with him to elope, the door of the mansion behind him suddenly made a loud earth-shaking noise.
Then, the heavy wooden door, which was more than ten feet tall and painted in vermilion, was kicked open by someone from the outside.
Lu Ren stepped steadily on the broken door and slowly walked into the mansion.
"You... who are you?"The housekeeper was terrified, his body kept shrinking back, his eyes wide open, almost popping out.
He had never seen Lu Ren before, and the first thought in his mind was that Zhang Lanyue's lover came to seek revenge.
"Call Zhao Jiamu out to me!" Lu Ren's tone was cold, revealing an unquestionable majesty.
"Sir, my master is resting, can you come back later?"
The butler swallowed hard, trying to keep himself calm, but his voice still trembled a little.
" It doesn't matter, he can rest, I'll go in, I have a few words to tell him in person"
Lu Ren replied expressionlessly
" I'm afraid this is not appropriate......" The butler looked embarrassed and hesitated to dissuade him.
However, before he finished speaking, Lu Ren flashed in front of the butler in the blink of an eye, holding a long knife with a cold light in his hand, and the blade was pressed tightly against the butler's neck.
Feeling the biting cold, the butler trembled all over, as if falling into an ice cellar, and was instantly frightened and broke into a cold sweat. His legs shook violently like sieves.
"My hearing is not very good. What did you just say? Do you want to repeat it again?" Lu Ren narrowed his eyes slightly and asked coldly.
Faced with such a fierce momentum, the housekeeper replied in a trembling voice:"I will take the young master to see the master immediately."
He did not dare to hesitate any longer. The man in front of him was a murderous devil. If he angered him, he might be beheaded in the next moment.
No matter what, staying alive was the most important thing.
As for whether he was seeking revenge on Zhao Jiamu, what did it have to do with him?
"" Sir, please come this way."
The housekeeper walked tremblingly in front to lead the way for Lu Ren.
Soon, the two came to Zhao Jiamu's residence in the backyard of the mansion.
He went forward and knocked on the door, saying,"Sir, a young man wants to see you."
Zhao Jiamu was lying weakly on the bed, and the eldest lady was sitting beside the bed feeding him medicine soup.
After hearing the housekeeper's voice, Zhao Jiamu frowned and shouted angrily:"I won't see anyone today. Tell him to go back to where he came from."
After that, he drank another sip of the extremely bitter medicine soup, and his expression looked extremely painful.
The eldest lady's face was full of heartache, and she complained:"Husband, you are really, is that woman worth you hurting your body like this?
Fortunately, the doctor said that you just indulged too much and need to rest for a while. If the consequences are more serious, won't we sisters be widows?"
"Madam, you are worrying too much. My husband is in good health. If you don't believe me, let's try it again tonight."
The eldest lady glared at him coquettishly and said,"Come on, you are not afraid of death, but I am."
Just as the couple was flirting, the knock on the door sounded again at an inopportune time.
"What else?" Zhao Jiamu roared,"I told you I don't want to see anyone, get out of here and don't disturb me!"
However, the voice coming from outside the door was not the housekeeper's, but a voice that frightened Zhao Jiamu.
"You don't want to see me too?" Lu Ren stood at the door and asked with a sneer.
Zhao Jiamu's face froze, and the face of the young man at the county government gate yesterday appeared in front of him.
He waved his hand hurriedly, signaling the eldest lady to put on her clothes and hide behind the screen.
But then he thought about it and felt a little strange.
This is obviously his own mansion, why does it seem like he is having an affair?
"What are you doing here?"
Zhao Jiamu was helped by his wife to sit up, and then asked her to open the door.
Lu Ren took a look at the face of the first wife.
It must be said that Zhao Jiamu had a good eye. His wife was definitely a rare existence in this small county town in terms of both figure and appearance.
Lu Ren walked straight in and found a stool to sit down naturally.
"Madam, please quickly pour a cup of tea for this young master."
Zhao Jiamu was extremely frightened at this moment, fearing that if he did not do something well, Lu Ren would suddenly kill him. Zhang
Lanyue had already left, and Elder Yan Hu had not arrived yet, so he could only buy as much time as possible.
"Sir, please have some tea." The eldest lady hurriedly poured a cup of tea and handed it to Lu Ren.
Lu Ren took a sip and looked at Zhao Jiamu indifferently:"Have you finished writing the confession?"
"Varied........What confession?" Zhao Jiamu didn't react for a moment and asked blankly.
"It seems that it has not been written yet?"
Lu Ren���The lady in front of him raised her chin and ordered,"Go, bring paper and pen.""
"this......."The first lady looked at her husband hesitantly.
The latter gave her a look helplessly.
Seeing this, the first lady bowed and hurriedly left to find paper and pen.
Not long after, the paper and pen were delivered. Lu Ren's mouth curled up with a smile, staring at Zhao Jiamu with cold eyes, and said slowly:
"As a county magistrate, you probably don't need someone to write a confession for you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiamu's face turned extremely ugly, and he stammered but didn't respond.
You know, once he wrote this confession, his reputation would be completely ruined.
However, before he could come up with a response plan, Lu Ren spoke again:"It doesn't matter. If you are not feeling well and can't write, I can do it for you.
But......I am afraid it is difficult for me to grasp the specific content accurately. If there is any deviation from the actual situation, don't blame me for not reminding you in advance."
The threat in these words couldn't be more obvious!
At this moment, Zhao Jiamu was in a dilemma.
If he wrote it himself, it would be tantamount to destroying his future.
But if he refused, he was worried that Lu Ren would take advantage of the situation, deliberately exaggerate his guilt, or even fabricate some false charges to pin on him.
In desperation, after a painful decision, Zhao Jiamu finally gritted his teeth and agreed:"Okay, I'll write it."
Lu Ren looked at his slightly hesitant look after picking up the pen, squinted his eyes and smiled:"Think clearly before writing, do you remember what I said? If you miss any one, I'll chop off one of your fingers."
Zhao Jiamu nodded with a gloomy expression.
After a cup of tea, the confession was written and Lu Ren took it and took a look.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiamu was quite honest and listed more than ten charges.
For example, oppressing the good, robbing women, coercion and inducement, corruption and abuse of power, etc.
Lu Ren sneered:"You have done a lot of good things in these years in office! If the people of Shanyang County knew that you were such a 'parent official', how do you think they would treat you?"
When the governor inspected the area before, he was extremely decisive and ruthless. The next day after arriving in Shanyin County, he beheaded the entire county government team.
But why is Zhao Jiamu in Shanyang County still safe and sound?
Is he hiding too deeply, and the governor didn't find any clues?
Or is it that even the governor didn't dare to offend the Zhao family behind Zhao Jiamu?
Lu Ren shook his head and stopped delving into this issue.
He cut Zhao Jiamu's palm with a knife and forced him to press a bloody fingerprint on the confession.
"Don't forget to tell me what you have to do. Before dark tonight, gather all the people in the city and read this confession publicly."
"I remember......."Zhao Jiamu said weakly.
Just as Lu Ren was about to leave, a strong aura suddenly descended into the courtyard.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiamu was secretly happy.
Elder Yan Hu has arrived!
He stared at Lu Ren's back fiercely, wishing he could stab him to death with a knife to vent his anger.���
Lu Ren felt the strong aura coming from behind him, and turned his head suddenly, just in time to meet the eyes of the bald middle-aged man with a ferocious face in the yard.
After a short silence, Lu Ren's mouth corners slightly raised, looking at Zhao Jiamu with a smile, and jokingly said:"What? Is this the reinforcement you called?"
Zhao Jiamu was still under Lu Ren's nose, so he didn't dare to admit it, so he could only shake his head
""Maybe he is my enemy, why don't you help me get rid of him?"
Lu Ren saw through his thoughts at a glance and sneered,"You said it yourself."
Before he finished speaking, he disappeared on the spot.
Zhao Jiamu intuitively saw a black shadow flash by. He rubbed his eyes, and the next moment, Lu Ren had appeared in the courtyard, standing opposite Elder Yan Hu.
After confirming that his situation was safe, Zhao Jiamu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
I thought he was a tough guy, but I didn't expect that he would be fooled so easily. Just wait to be severely controlled by Elder Yan Hu!
At this moment, Yan Hu frowned and stared at the young man in black in front of him.
""Who are you? Why are you threatening my master?"
If it was an ordinary person, Yan Hu would not say a word to him, and would suppress him with thunder.
However, the aura emanating from Lu Ren made him feel a threat. If he could avoid it, he should try not to do it.
If it really didn't work, he could use the Zhao family to pressure him.
Facing Yan Hu's questioning, Lu Ren said,"But your master said he didn't know you and asked me to kill you."
He slowly pulled out the Liuyun Duanyue Sword, with a harmless smile on his face:"I like to help others, so... I have to ask you to die first!"
