Chapter 391 Liu Family's Old Servant
Ji Fuyin waved her hand and signaled everyone else in the room to retreat for the time being. After the door was closed, Luo Wei spoke, "What does the Crown Princess want to know?"
"What did you do in the past, why did you have such strong martial arts, and why were you hunted by the government? I did see the wanted order related to you from the street, but there was only one person on it.
Saying that you wanted to commit a crime did not make it clear what crime you committed."
Ji Fuyin glanced at a chair in the corner and said, "There are no outsiders now. Sit down. Don't blame me for being careless. Before adding a maid who is close to me, I need to find out the maid's life experience. This is human nature.
, not just for you, I will do the same for others."
"In the early days, slaves followed the master to plow the waterways, but the master was different from those water bandits. We only robbed wealth and did not kill people. We only robbed ill-gotten gains and did not rob a single coin from a decent person. What we robbed was
Except for the money that was enough for us, we used the rest to help the poor people."
Ji Fuyin didn't expect that when she mentioned her past as a water bandit, her expression could be so calm, and she had no intention of avoiding it. Seeing that Luo Wei became silent after saying this, she knew that she was
After waiting for her to speak, and giving her a slight nod to signal her to continue speaking, Luo Wei finally spoke.
"Then, the master got old and died. Before he died, he told me that even if what we did was chivalrous, water bandits were still bandits. After all, they wouldn't last long, so he told me to quit doing it and go to land.
Find a job to do and live an ordinary life from now on."
"You lived an ordinary life... Then how did you get into trouble with the government?" Ji Fuyin asked.
"After I went ashore, I went to Liucheng. I happened to see a wealthy family looking for a maid, so I went there. It was only after I went back to the house with that person that I discovered that I had gone to work for the Liu family." Luo Wei.
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "The Liu family in Liucheng should be familiar to the Crown Princess."
If we just talk about the Liu family, this ubiquitous surname is really confusing, but when it comes to the Liu family in Liucheng, few people don't know it. The head of the Liu family once served Rong Rong.
One of the eunuchs of the imperial concubine is not too old, and he looks like he is only fifty years old now.
Previously, Eunuch Liu was Concubine Rong's extremely capable right-hand man. Everyone in the palace speculated that, based on how much Concubine Rong valued him, it seemed that Eunuch Liu would retire in the palace in the future. But about ten years ago,
However, Eunuch Liu made a big mistake - he accidentally missed and ruined the birthday gift that Zhao Guangzheng had traveled thousands of miles to send back to Concubine Rong.
This was so good that Concubine Rong was so furious that she even ignored the previous relationship between master and servant. She beat Eunuch Liu hard and drove him out of the palace. When he left, Eunuch Liu had nothing but injuries all over his body.
He was not taken away, so the people in the palace speculated that Eunuch Liu was going to die miserably outside.
But just when everyone thought that Eunuch Liu was about to die, after a few days, Concubine Rong's anger had dissipated a lot, and she began to think about Eunuch Liu's well-being again. But as a concubine, she was driven away by herself.
There was no reason for the slave to be brought back after he had gone out. Although he regretted it at the moment, he could not do anything else.
Because of the guilt in her heart, Concubine Rong sent people to Liucheng, Liu Eunuch's hometown. After a lot of effort, she found him. As compensation, she rewarded him with a huge house, which many people would be unable to reach in their lifetime.
With his wealth, Eunuch Liu transformed from then on and became the most legendary figure in Liucheng.
In Liucheng, even the local officials have to respect Eunuch Liu, not only because of his wealth, but also because Concubine Rong's guilt has not disappeared over the years, and she will send people to visit Eunuch Liu every now and then. Therefore, Eunuch Liu is in Liucheng.
His identity is almost as good as being a native emperor.
Ji Fuyin nodded, "Have you offended Eunuch Liu?"
"It's not like he offended me... I stole his things and sold them to others." Luo Wei sighed, "Prince Concubine, don't blame me. This is my old profession, and I don't want to do it anymore.
It’s just that Eunuch Liu, relying on the backing of his concubine Rong, amassed money unscrupulously in Liucheng, with a lot of money in vain, all of which is the wealth of the people!"
"He collected the silver coins and didn't do anything. He just kept them in the warehouse. He wished he could count them himself every day. There were also those rare jewels that he had collected from everywhere. They were all priceless things. The servant just felt that
, there are so many good things hidden away, why not sell them for money and give them to those who are about to starve to death."
Luowei said: "Previously, he didn't even notice that I stole anything, but then one day, I was accidentally seen by someone in his house, and Eunuch Liu became furious. He was so angry that he even talked nonsense.
What nonsense are you talking about that I’m sorry for, Master... and what happens after that, you, the Crown Princess, will know everything about it."
Ji Fuyin nodded thoughtfully. The sentence "I'm sorry to the master" that came out of Eunuch Liu's mouth actually didn't mean that Luo Wei stole something and I'm sorry for him, but that he lost something and I'm sorry for Concubine Rong——
Concubine Rong Guifei's idea of letting Zhao Guangzheng replace the prince was no longer a day or two. Eunuch Liu...
A sneer crept into the corners of her eyes. Concubine Rong's previous expulsion of Eunuch Liu was probably just for show. She drove her most trusted confidant out of the palace without raising suspicion, just to keep him outside the palace.
, to help her plan to seize the money and become her hidden underground bank. This move is really smart.
After finishing everything he wanted to say, Luowei turned his gaze to Ji Fuyin. He thought she would let him leave like this. Unexpectedly, he heard Ji Fuyin ask again: "The capital is very close to Liucheng. With your skills, even if
It doesn’t matter if you want to escape as far away as possible, but why do you choose to stay here in the capital?”
Luo Wei sighed, "Why don't you want to go far away, but how can you just leave? Now the city gates are very strict. If you go out, the chance of being caught is too high. You can't
Dare to take the risk."
"That's right." Ji Fuyin nodded, "Okay, I understand everything. You can go out and continue working. Let Qingmei and the others take you for two more days, and then you can come to serve me."
Luowei bowed and went down, "I thank the Crown Princess."
After Luo Wei retreated, Ji Fuyin's eyes narrowed slightly and she stared at the door that had been closed again with a thoughtful expression.
Just now, what Luowei said was exactly the same as the information about her that Moli had investigated. She didn't lie, but - she also didn't explain everything honestly in front of her.
She still concealed something from her, and she concealed it deliberately.
With her ability, let alone crossing the city gate, even sneaking into the palace without being noticed is very easy. She can't leave, she just doesn't want to leave!
She confessed everything, but she hid this person from her from beginning to end - in Luowei's previous experience, among the people who depended on her, in addition to her master, there was also someone who was picked up by her master early in the morning.
Her sister, Qingqing.
When they robbed the rich and gave to the poor on the waterway, Qingqing was there. Later, she went to work as a maid in the Liu family, and Qingqing was also with her. These two sisters, who have no blood relationship, have a much stronger relationship than ordinary biological sisters.
But what is different from Luowei is that Qingqing has been weak since childhood and cannot learn martial arts from her master like her.
Luo Wei got into trouble and ran away from the Liu family, but he was negligent and failed to bring Qing Qing out with him. Everyone in the Liu family knew the relationship between Luo Wei and Qing Qing. After Luo Wei ran away, Eunuch Liu
Qingqing was imprisoned, and the reason why Luowei didn't leave could only be because of Qingqing.
But... Ji Fuyin's eyebrows tightened slightly. Why didn't she tell her what happened to Qingqing? It wasn't an ulterior secret. She even dared to tell her things that offended Eunuch Liu, but why didn't she tell her?
What should I tell her about Qingqing?
Eunuch Liu... Concubine Rong... could it be... again? Ji Fuyin's heart knotted slightly. Could it be that Luowei's appearance is really related to Concubine Rong?
Qingmei had already returned to the room. Seeing her thoughtful expression, she asked quietly: "Miss, can I keep Luo Wei, or can I not?"
"Stay here for now. There are people watching her in the dark anyway. As for whether she can stay, we have to wait for a while to know." After saying that, Ji Fuyin stopped talking, and the housekeeper of the Prince's Mansion looked anxious.
He walked quickly to the front of the room.
After saluting Ji Fuyin, the housekeeper said hurriedly: "Princess, please go and take a look. Just now, a group of officers and soldiers came into our house. It must be that there is a fugitive hiding in our house. The old slave couldn't stop him.
Let them come in anyway."
Officers, soldiers, fugitives... Ji Fuyin didn't need to think too much to know that those people were here for Luo Wei. At least for now, she didn't want to hand over Luo Wei so quickly. Immediately, Ji Fuyin said to the housekeeper:
"You go to the front first and ask them to wait. I will be there soon. No one can make mistakes!"
The housekeeper responded and hurried back to the front. Ji Fuyin held the hairpin on her head and said, "Go and bring Luo Wei over."
"Miss, are you going to hand Luo Wei over?" Qingmei asked carefully.
"Even if we have to hand over, it won't be now." Ji Fuyin said with a cold face, "These people are so bold. Where is the Prince's Mansion? They can get in if they want to? Go and bring Luo Wei. This person, I am today
