Chapter 166 Hold up, I'll take you out
Mo Ruchu's face was red, and the sweat on his forehead was dripping down his eyelids. He kept slapping the wet cotton cloth against the window to lick the flames coming in.
The man in front of him is the prince, and his responsibility is to protect him. Now he not only asked someone to block the knife for him, but he also wanted to be burned to death here.
Unable to sit still and wait for death, Mo Ruchu got up and untied the belts of those who died in the house, took off all their clothes, and threw them into the blood-stained warm pool.
He glanced at the prince who was covering his lips and still coughing violently, and began to untie his belt again, took off his robe, wet it with water, and put it on Chu Yu's head, "Be patient, I will take you out."
After saying that, he jumped into the hot spring again and fished out all the wet clothes.
The heavy wooden door made a sizzling sound from the fire, and Mo Ruchu kicked it up.
The wooden door fell outward, and as soon as it suppressed a piece of flame, the surrounding flames surrounded the door tightly.
Mo Ruchu threw the wet clothes in his hand towards the surrounding fire, "Let's go!"
Mo Ruchu pulled Chu Yu and rushed out of the sea of fire.
The gloomy wind outside, mixed with fine snowflakes, instantly froze the two wet people thoroughly.
Chu Yu threw away the wet clothes stained with blood and slumped on the ground, breathing in the cold air to suppress the suffocating pain in his chest.
The Jin Yiwei from outside had also rushed over and were fighting fiercely with the man in black.
Facing a group of imperial guards, the men in black were quickly defeated. Seeing that the situation was not going well, those who wanted to escape failed and wiped their necks to commit suicide.
Mo Ruchu said sternly: "Catch them alive!"
The Jin Yiwei are all well-trained elite soldiers, so they have naturally seen many such formations.
Soon the men in black were arrested one after another, and Mo Ruchu inspected the bodies lying in a pool of blood.
One of them was wearing a black coat of fine silk, which was different from the coarse black clothes of the others.
"Who killed this man?" Mo Ruchu took off his mask and suddenly asked.
In the chaotic fight just now, a group of Jinyi guards were not sure whether they had killed this person or not. They looked at each other and no one answered.
"What's wrong?" Chu Yu came over and pretended to be surprised, "Lu Zhang, Mr. Lu? How could it be him?"
Mo Ruchu frowned with two black eyebrows.
How could it be Lu Zheng, or just wipe his neck with a knife?
"Did Mr. Lu send you here?" Mo Ruchu caught a few arrested men in black.
No one answered.
"Bring them all back to me!"
The man in black was escorted back to Guanyi.
After coming back, Chu Yu drank a lot of soup.
Wormwood appeared quietly, keeping its head lowered.
They jointly designed a plan to lure Lu Zheng here.
When he saw his master surrounded by a sea of fire in the house, he almost couldn't help but rush in. Fortunately, the Jin Yiwei arrived in time.
He also secretly killed Lu Zheng the moment Jin Yiwei appeared.
To the outside world, Lu Zheng only died under the knife of those who wanted to escape.
The plan was implemented well, but the master was injured, choked on cigarettes, caused old illnesses, and looked very poor.
"I don't blame you, don't make such a mournful face."
Chu Yu drank the medicine and dug out a small wooden box from the package. He moved his arm and pulled the knife wound on his back shoulder. The pain made him wince at the corners of his lips.
Ai Cao raised his eyes and said worriedly: "Master, is it worth it for us to go through so much effort just to bribe a fourth-grade envoy?"
The small wooden box contained red dates brought from Ruan Ningxiang. Chu Yu took one and held it in his mouth, which relieved some of the bitterness and filled his heart with some sweetness.
"What if he becomes the commander of the third rank of Jinyi Guards in the future."
He needs the power of Jin Yiwei, not only the power of Jin Yiwei, but also the power around the prince, he must slowly use it for his own use.
When his wings are full, he will be qualified to compete for the position of heir apparent.
Only when he becomes emperor can his destiny not be influenced by others.
Therefore, for the woman he thought about day and night, this small sacrifice was certainly worth it.
Wormwood is Chu Yu's shadow. He usually does not appear in front of outsiders. He comes quietly and leaves quietly.
After Mo Ruchu finished his work, he knocked on the door and came over. Chu Yu was also waiting for him.
"No outsiders, sit down." Chu Yu poured him a cup of tea and pushed it over, "How was the investigation?"
Mo Ruchu squeezed the teacup and said, "After checking, we are indeed the dead soldiers raised by Lu Zheng's men. They sent people to kill us, but they don't know our identities."
"Why did he want to kill us before we had time to find him?" Chu Yu covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed again.
Mo Ruchu looked at the empty bowl on the table. There was a layer of dark medicinal soup at the bottom of the bowl. "Is your cough serious? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Chu Yu's lips were pale and he raised his hand weakly, "No, this is a prescription prescribed by the imperial doctor. It doesn't matter if you drink the medicine."
"Master Lu is too restless, and he doesn't know how he achieved the position of governor." Chu Yu returned to the topic, "By the way, have you informed his wife?"
"I came here to ask King Yu for his opinion and whether he should inform his family."
"Even if I am a disgraced prince, I cannot bear to be bullied like this by them!" Chu Yu showed suppressed anger, "Send someone to notify you now!"
"good."
After Mrs. Lu heard about it, she hurried over with the housekeeper.
Chu Yu did not see her, but asked someone to take her directly to identify the body.
It wasn't until the next day, when Chu Yu had had enough sleep, that he called the person over again.
Lu Zheng's first wife, Mrs. Wei, was kneeling on the ground. The bun on her head had been removed before going to bed. She had not combed it in her hurry and had been running around for half the night. Her hair was disheveled, like a half-crazy woman.
Mo Ruchu, who was wearing Feiyu uniform and holding a sword at his waist, shouted sternly: "The dignified Governor of Yunzhou not only had a private deal with Ban Meng, but also assassinated the prince. He deserves to be punished!"
Wei Shi was so frightened that her body trembled, "Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"The human and material evidence is conclusive. Mr. Lu also died under the knife at the scene. Does Mrs. Lu still want to make excuses?" Mo Ruchu said again.
"His Royal Highness King Yu, you are the fiancé of my cousin Jiayi. We are all one family..."
Mrs. Wei knelt and moved forward, pulling up the hem of Chu Yu's clothes.
Chu Yu stood up suddenly like a snake or a scorpion.
Mo Ruchu stepped forward and stabbed Wei in front of her. Wei was so frightened that she almost lost her breath and collapsed there like a puddle of flesh.
It's okay that Wei didn't mention Wei Jiayi, but when she did, Chu Yu's face became even more gloomy.
