Without any surprise, this threat was ineffective against Ji Xinghai.
Because for him, keeping the secrets of Tianmen Nine Tribulations can actually protect the people around him.
If everything was revealed, he would have no use value. Just killing the precious son of the Minister of Rites would kill him.
Behind Fengtiansi is the empress. Although she has great power, balance is a required course for every emperor.
It is impossible to have a conflict with the Ministry of Rites over a Jianghu person...
Outside the dungeon.
Jiang Wuji returned without success.
Lin Xiushan comforted him: "This guy is very strict with his mouth. He hasn't caught any dirt in a year. Don't take it to heart."
"The main problem is that he is too guarded and doesn't believe that I am sincerely trying to reverse the case for him." Jiang Wuji looked helpless.
In this regard, it is difficult for Lin Xiushan to evaluate.
The case was an unjust case, but there was no evidence, and King Luo wanted to pry out the news about the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen from his mouth.
This matter needs to be discussed in the long run...
…
A small courtyard in the north of the city.
"Zhiqua——"
Opening the door, the scene inside the house is jaw-dropping.
The originally bleak and depressed house had a lot more furniture. The original broken bed was gone, replaced by two clean and tidy beds.
At this moment, the female thief is standing by the small stove by the window, rolling up her sleeves to reveal two greasy arms, preparing dinner...
When she heard the noise, she turned around and rolled her eyes beautifully, "You're back."
"Well……"
Jiang Wuji scratched his head, a little unsure: "Nvxia, what are you singing about?"
The female thief was busy with her work and said angrily: "What? I'm spending money to buy furniture for you, and you're still not happy?"
This is not a question of whether I am happy or not, but I plan to change my house after the bonus is paid out. Oh, you can’t buy a good house for 100,000 yuan in the capital, so that’s okay...
Jiang Wuji asked tentatively: "Don't you think the heroine wants to stay here?"
if not? Is it possible to live in an inn every day? Prices in Beijing are so expensive...
The female thief said calmly: "Before I rescue Daxia Ji, I will keep an eye on you here to prevent you from doing nothing."
Oh, it turned out to be the supervisor, I thought... Jiang Wuji nodded and asked, "Is the heroine's surname Ji?"
The female thief stopped chopping vegetables and subconsciously wanted to ask, "How do you know that?" But before she could say anything, she guessed the reason.
"Have you met him?"
"Yeah." Jiang Wuji nodded.
"She's fine. I can tell you the location of the cell, but I advise you to give up the idea of breaking the prison."
"Why?" The female thief turned around, her peach blossom eyes filled with water.
Jiang Wuji briefly talked about the situation in the dungeon. Apparently there were only two grandmasters, and there were dozens of first-rate and second-rate swordsmen and jailers.
And the dungeon has more than one level, and there might be a grandmaster guarding it, such as another Impermanence.
It is impossible to save the female thief alone.
In addition, Jiang Wuji also told the female thief about the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen.
"I have inquired about it. The fisherman family your father rescued moved away from the village after the incident. Trying to find them after a year is like finding a needle in a haystack."
"In this way, it is extremely difficult to ask them to help reverse the case. This unjust case is no different from an ironclad case."
Hearing this, the female thief pursed her lips, and big tears fell from her eyes.
How could she not understand what Jiang Wuji said? This year, she has been looking for someone. If she could find someone, she would not choose the road of no return.
I feel pity for female thieves. Jiang Wuji hates seeing women cry, especially beautiful women...
"But aside from reversing the case and just saving people, there are no other ways."
"?!"
The female thief stepped forward quickly and grabbed Jiang Wuji's hand.
"Really? Do you have any idea? Come on, tell me, I, I...as long as I can save him, I will promise you anything!"
Can he really agree to anything... Jiang Wuji's Adam's apple moved up and down, making sure that he was not a villain who took advantage of others.
"Do you know the news about the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen?"
"I don't know." The female thief shook her head.
"Then you have to find a way to help me win your father's trust." Jiang Wuji said seriously.
"What King Luo wants is the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen. As long as your father cooperates and I intercede, it is not impossible to fake death and escape from prison..."
The female thief subconsciously wanted to agree, but immediately realized a problem.
His father is safe and sound, and he is probably guarding the news of the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen. If he tells it... will King Luo regret it and commit suicide by crossing the river and burning down the bridge?
She doesn't believe King Luo, but what she has to do now is to choose whether to believe the person in front of her.
Jiang Wuji could understand the female thief's concerns, but unfortunately he couldn't come up with anything that would make the female thief completely believe in him.
"I'll go out and wait for you."
Jiang Wuji dropped a few words and exited the room.
…
At dusk, the glow is brilliant.
At the table in the small courtyard, a man and a woman sat facing each other and looked at each other.
There were several pots of side dishes on the table, but they were gradually losing their warmth due to the silent confrontation.
Looks good, I'm so hungry, should I say something? ...Jiang Wuji swallowed.
After another moment, the female thief finally spoke.
"You, you won't lie to me, right?"
I'm about to cry again... Jiang Wuji said seriously: "Do you know what my adoptive father has said to me the most?"
"What?" The female thief lowered her eyebrows and said softly.
"Be a person who is greedy for money and lustful."
"?!"
"In good spirits!"
Jiang Wuji didn't bullshit this time. What his adoptive father taught him the most was indeed these eight words: greedy for money, lustful, and upright.
Coincidentally, this mantra was also his signature on all social media apps in his previous life.
The female thief bit her red lips, her charming peach blossom eyes twinkling slightly.
After a moment, she whispered: "Actually, what I gave you that night was just a medicine to promote blood circulation and remove blood clots, not poison."
Sure enough... Jiang Wuji responded with a smile: "Actually, I have already guessed it."
"ah?"
"Since you guessed it, why do you still want to help..." The female thief hesitated to speak.
Greedy for money and lustful...so he thought, he thought...here, what should I do?
Jiang Wuji didn't know what the female thief was thinking, so he said seriously: "At the beginning, my adoptive father also wanted to overturn the case for Daxia Ji, so I think he understood his adoptive father's wish."
The female thief was moved, no longer hesitated, and took out a jade pendant the size of a copper plate from her arms.
"Show him this and he will believe you."
"Okay." Jiang Wuji put away the jade pendant, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and prepared to cook.
Seeing this, the female thief couldn't help but smile, "Don't say it tastes bad!"
"Does it taste bad? It tastes good."
"Really?"
"If you don't believe it, try it yourself."
"Really?...Eh~ It's so salty!"
"Hahaha……"
"Don't laugh!"
As the sun set at dusk, the small courtyard that had been neglected was filled with laughter and laughter.
For Jiang Wuji, who had no father or mother at the beginning, he suddenly felt like home in this world.
"Hero, I don't know your name yet."
"Do names matter?"
"That depends on the person."
"What's the meaning?"
"The names of important people are important, but if they are not important, even if they are called Heavenly King, it has nothing to do with me."
"You, you little thief, why do you talk so much all the time?"
"Just tell the truth. If the heroine doesn't want to tell it, I'm not strong either..."
"Ji Xiaowan, my name is Ji Xiaowan."
