This was the daughter of the Luo family, the governor of Longjiang Prefecture, named Zhiqin. In the first ten days of the Chou month of the Gengzi year, troops from the Longjiang Prefecture came to kill my father and rape my mother. All the female relatives in the house were spared, either raped or killed. The six-year-old brother was nailed to the wall, the fetus in the aunt's belly was picked out with a sharp knife, and the entire Luo family was like a hell.

Shen Xiangning, the adopted daughter of the Luo family, and I were lucky enough to escape, and then we learned that my uncle had colluded with the capital to take over my father's position as governor.

Xiang Ning and I were hunted by traitors, and we hid in the grass in the mountains and became bandits.

Although he was a bandit, he also robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and never committed any evil.

However, one day they encountered fierce bandits and led the crowd to fight. Although they retreated from the enemy, their identity was exposed.

Knowing that disaster was imminent, I wrote this imperial edict and entrusted Xiang Ning to the capital, asking only for mercy from heaven and for Your Majesty to make the final decision for the innocent souls of the Luo family, in order to prove the way of heaven.

―――

The imperial edict ended here, but Wu Yuan, Ouyang Shishi and Mo Qiaoer were still staring at the imperial edict.

It's hard to imagine how this girl named Luo Zhiqin felt when she wrote this imperial edict.

Despair, resentment, confusion?

Maybe both. Looking at this neat and powerful handwriting, you can even feel Luo Zhiqin's unwillingness to be helpless and full of expectations.

Wu Yuan and others could even imagine that Luo Zhiqin, who was burdened with revenge for her blood relatives, was writing these words of hope while shedding her own blood.

There are so many poor people in the world, but I'm afraid there aren't many who are as miserable as Luo Zhiqin.

Unknowingly, Ouyang Shishi and Mo Qiaoer were crying silently.

The world is sometimes unfair to women, especially beautiful women.

Men may only be killed with one knife, but women have to endure all kinds of torture and humiliation first. Even if Luo Zhiqin didn't say much about this, you can still imagine what kind of torture the women of the Luo family have experienced.

Luo Zhiqin's final fate is also unknown, but it is definitely unimaginable.

Looking at the content above, after Luo Zhiqin wrote the royal decree, she placed all her hopes on Shen Xiangning.

Let Shen Xiangning run out first.

Now, Wu Yuan, Ouyang Shishi and Mo Qiaoer can all understand why Shen Xiangning said that he had completed the mission, and why he did not want to hide from the assassination even though he knew he could.

Because her heart may have died with Luo Zhiqin long ago.

"Brother Wu Yuan, let's help her. I want to avenge them personally. The governor of Longjiang Prefecture and that beastly uncle Luo Zhiqin I want to kill."

Ouyang Shishi, who has always been calm, also nodded, "I will ask my father to help."

However, Wu Yuan did not agree in a hurry, but frowned and fell into deep thought.

Mo Qiaoer became a little anxious when he saw this, "Brother Wu Yuan, what's wrong with you? Such evil people are still high-ranking officials who control the entire Longjiang Mansion. There is no need to hesitate. Capture them and kill them directly."

When Wu Yuan heard Mo Qiaoer's urgent words, he sighed helplessly, "I want to catch him too, but I definitely can't catch him now."

"Why?" Mo Qiaoer asked.

Ouyang Shishi also looked at Wu Yuan with some confusion. It was not that the two of them were not smart enough, but that at this time, sensibility was greater than rationality and they could no longer think normally.

Wu Yuan could only explain: "It can be said to be a miracle that Shen Xiangning can go all the way to the capital. You have also seen the master assassin just now. I think if Shen Xiangning hadn't been gifted, it would have been difficult to escape. Those masters are chasing after them."

"And this is probably why Luo Zhiqin placed all her expectations on Shen Xiangning."

Mo Qiaoer and Ouyang Shishi also nodded, feeling even more sorry for Shen Xiangning.

"But what does this have to do with brother, you don't catch those traitors?" Mo Qiaoer asked still puzzled.

"The assassin has already run away, and he has probably guessed that Shen Xiangning's imperial edict is about to be completed. What do you think his next step will be?" Wu Yuan asked.

Ouyang Shishi immediately said: "Either we find a way to kill Shen Xiangning and die without any evidence."

"Either I enter the palace and attack you, Mr. Yuan."

"But no matter what he does, the first thing he has to do is to immediately send a message about Shen Xiangning's matter back to Longjiang Mansion so that the capital can make preparations in advance."

After Ouyang Shishi said this, he finally understood what Wu Yuan was sighing about.

"Master Yuan, do you think that even if you issue an imperial edict to arrest those traitors, they will not come back honestly and will resist?"

Wu Yuan nodded and said: "They will definitely resist, because coming back means death, and Longjiang Mansion is on the edge of Dawu. I'm afraid this is the reason why they dare to commit such a heinous crime so boldly."

"Even if the incident comes to light one day, they will have no fear and will immediately raise troops to rebel. It is very likely that they will even liaise with other countries and join forces to rebel."

Wu Yuan's words immediately made Ouyang Shishi and Mo Qiaoer's hearts sink, and their faces became a little ugly.

Thinking about it carefully, everyone knows the situation in Dawu now. Tianli Kingdom may have a large army to invade the territory at any time. It is impossible for Wu Yuan to use the extra troops to go to Longjiang Mansion to deal with those traitors.

Mo Qiaoer slapped the table angrily, "Why do you have to do it at this time? It's really disgusting."

Ouyang Shishi also frowned, but after racking her brains, there was no good solution.

A moment later, Ouyang Shishi sighed feebly just like Wu Yuan just now, "Now, it seems that we can only wait until the war with Tianli Kingdom has subsided before we can have the energy to go to Longjiang Mansion to get people."

Wu Yuan immediately sneered after hearing this, "I'm afraid that by that time, those bastards will also run away immediately."

Ouyang Shishi's expression changed, "Indeed, they won't wait for you to kill them, Master."

Mo Qiaoer became even more angry when she heard what Wu Yuan and Ouyang Shishi said, "Then let me kill them. It just so happens that I haven't experienced the feeling of being an assassin yet."

Ouyang Shishi wanted to stop it, but after thinking about it carefully, in this situation, it seemed that this was the only way to eradicate the traitor.

But we definitely can't let Mo Qiaoer go alone, I'm afraid this will require a large number of assassins.

But at this time, Wu Yuan directly rejected Mo Qiaoer's nonsense proposal.

"Due to its geographical location, Longjiang Prefecture has to guard against Beihu State, so the number of troops it supports is probably the same as that of the three prefectures combined. It is impossible to send assassins there to succeed."

Mo Qiaoer suddenly collapsed, "This won't work, that won't work either, so what should we do? Do we have to watch those traitors go unpunished?"

Wu Yuan was also pacing back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.

From time to time, Wu Yuan would look at the slightly heavy bellyband on the table. Every time he looked at it, the anger in Wu Yuan's heart would rise a bit.

After a while, Wu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
