Chapter 319 I'll put up 52
Zhou Jinghan sighed: "My men sent word that the person locked up inside is very likely... Zhao Xinyou."
"What?" Zhou Jingyu, despite his excellent upbringing, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but quickly regained his composure. "Are you sure?"
"I'm not entirely sure, because my men can't get too close, and there are only two mute old women inside, so we can't ask them anything. But... that person had seen the Lady of Zhenyuan Marquis once before, and this time it was just a coincidence that he glanced at her from outside the door, and she looked very similar."
Zhou Jingyu gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging from the force. It took him a long time to calm down. "Seventh Brother, I have a very... very sordid guess. Perhaps... perhaps the case of the Marquis of Zhenyuan back then wasn't about his merits overshadowing the emperor, or rather, it wasn't just about his merits overshadowing the emperor..."
Zhou Jinghan wasn't stupid either, and he immediately realized the key point: "How...how dare he?" Although he was still young when the Marquis of Zhenyuan had his accident, he had heard his mother talk about it, and she even trembled uncontrollably when she talked about it, which showed how tragic it was back then.
His mother once said that anyone could betray him, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan would never. He didn't know the reason for his certainty, but it was enough to show the Marquis of Zhenyuan's character.
"Seventh Brother," Zhou Jingyu looked up at Zhou Jinghan, "I must get that position back."
"Yes." Zhou Jinghan nodded. "He doesn't deserve it!"
Just then, a commotion came from the mountain, and then a figure appeared. Twenty, who had been lying not far away, suddenly got up and ran towards the person on the mountain.
Seeing the little white tiger rushing towards her, Yunyi quickly made a stop gesture. Just kidding, if a creature weighing several hundred pounds pounced on her, wouldn't it smash her to the ground?
Twenty stopped a few meters away from Yunyi, then slid up to her using inertia, and hummed a few times, seemingly acting coquettishly.
Sixteen rushed over and stuck out his wolf rear end, pushing Twenty away. This dead tiger came over and started acting cute with the boss, which gave her goosebumps.
twenty:……
Broken Wolf, want to fight?
Sixteen: Go ahead and fight, are you afraid of me?
20: Let's go to the mountains.
So the wolf and the tiger agreed to fight, and then turned and ran into the mountains.
Yunyi: ...
She wanted to go and see for herself too.
"Yiyi." Just then, Zhou Jinghan pushed Zhou Jingyu forward, stopping Yun Yi from leaving.
"Okay." Yun Yi nodded, glancing at Zhou Jingyu first. "You can reduce the time you spend in the wheelchair recently and try to move around more, but don't overexert yourself."
"Didn't you say before that I don't move around much?"
"You said it yourself, that was before. Doctor's orders need to be adjusted constantly according to the patient's condition, so you should follow the doctor's orders."
Zhou Jingyu nodded, "Okay." Then he got up and walked back, making room for the couple.
Lan Yi, who was waiting nearby, hurriedly came over to help him leave first.
The others, naturally aware of the relationship between the leader and deputy leader, also hurriedly left.
"Yiyi." Zhou Jinghan waited until everyone had left before showing a wronged expression, "You looked at Second Brother first."
"Huh?" Yun Yi was taken aback, but quickly realized what she meant. "Are you jealous?"
Zhou Jinghan blushed, but still nodded: "Shouldn't I be jealous? Although he is my second brother, he is also a man, and he is better looking than me."
Yunyi sighed, "We've had this kind of conversation before, do we have to do it again?"
"Yiyi, are you bothering me? I always feel like I can't hold onto you."
Yunyi raised her hand and touched his head: "I hope this is the last time we have this kind of conversation. I don't like it being repeated every few days."
Zhou Jinghan pursed his lips and could only nod. What could he do when he had a wife who was so allergic to being pampered? He just had to spoil her.
The day after tomorrow is Xia Miaomiao and Xie Axiang's wedding day, so the village is very festive. After all, they are all from the same village and are all relatives if you count their ancestors. So, no matter which family has a wedding or funeral, the whole village is mobilized.
Zhou Jinghan left that very night, as there were many things to do in the prefectural city and he couldn't stay long.
The next morning, Yunyi went to town because the transport team had returned and she needed to go there to reconcile accounts and check the shipments.
After finishing our work, it was noon, so we treated everyone to lunch at Yipinlou Restaurant. In the afternoon, everyone was free to do as they pleased. Tomorrow we'll go to the village for a wedding banquet, and the day after tomorrow we'll head to Beijing.
"Miss, it seems like there are a lot more people in town who know martial arts," Yun Hong whispered to Yun Yi after they left Yipinlou.
Yunyi glanced around: "It's nothing, they're all second- or third-rate players."
"Young Miss, you can even tell that?" Yun Hong was stunned.
"Of course, I can also see your marriage prospects."
"No, thank you." Yun Hong hurriedly waved her hand upon hearing this. "I'm not getting married."
Yunyi smiled and didn't bring it up again: "Let's go and see if these people are here for me."
Yun Hong nodded and followed Yun Yi toward the edge of the town.
Yunyi did not take the road back to the village, but instead headed towards White Tiger Mountain.
Sure enough, the assassins quickly caught up, some even holding a portrait.
"Where is she?" The people followed Yunyi and her companion out of town, but they hadn't gone far when they suddenly disappeared from sight. They became anxious and said, "Quickly, search everywhere."
"Are you looking for me?" Yunyi walked out from another direction.
The assassins exchanged glances, then without a word, drew their weapons and charged forward.
Yunyi took two steps back. There was no need for her to lift a finger against these seven people.
Yun Hong knew as soon as she fought these assassins that they were just ordinary assassins in the martial arts world, and their appearance fees were naturally cheap. So, she went all out and defeated them all in less than half an hour.
These people aren't suicide bombers; even if their mission fails, they won't commit suicide immediately. So, there's no need to dissect them.
"Tell me, who sent you?" Yun Yi looked down at the men rolling on the ground. "Whoever speaks first will be let go."
Although the seven men weren't top-tier assassins, they were still in the business, so they felt it was essential to uphold certain ethical standards and kept quiet.
"A hitman of your caliber, I'd guess the commission is only two or three hundred taels of silver, right?"
The group of people were taken aback. Why were they asking that?
“Tell me who ordered you, and I’ll give you five hundred taels.” Yun Yi smiled and held up the five-hundred-tael silver note in her hand.
