"When did Sister Wang find out that she was being targeted?" Yan Yun asked.
Wang Wan calmed down a little and said, "The earliest time was probably three months ago. When I went to ask the magistrate to investigate the cause of my husband's death, I felt like someone was following me. But at the time, I wasn't sure if it was because I was distracted. I was restless, and since nothing similar happened in the next period of time, I gradually felt relieved."
"But almost two months later, Uncle Han told me one day that a set of footprints was found near the garden. It didn't look like they were left by someone in the house. So I went to look at the set of footprints. They belonged to a man, and they were only those of a man. A left foot. I searched all over the garden but could not see the footprints of my right foot.
"I was very scared at the time, but after my husband's death, I became the head of the family. Everyone in the family was counting on me. I couldn't mess with myself, so I asked Uncle Han to erase the series of footprints and told him not to tell anyone. other people.
"Unexpectedly, something happened again that night. A maid in charge of cleaning found that the books in the study had been tampered with, and one of them fell on the ground. After that, people in the house began to panic. "
"While I was comforting everyone, I asked Uncle Han to find a way to find a new nursing home, but the new nursing home hadn't been found yet. Bao'er cried again and said that his slingshot had been broken. I thought it was the maid below. He accidentally broke it off, but looking at the broken end of the slingshot, it was clear that it was cut off by a sharp blade.
"Two days later, Bao'er and Chai'er bumped into a stranger in the backyard. The man waved to them and asked them if this was my husband-in-law's house, which scared them to tears. But by the time I got there, the man had disappeared. Gone.
"However, the next night I heard footsteps on the roof. As soon as it dawned, I hurriedly wrote to you," Wang Wan said, "To be honest, I didn't expect you to come so soon... Actually, I I am already considering selling this house and taking Bao'er and Chai'er to Huizhou to join my father."
"This may have played into those people's hands." Lu Jing suddenly said.
"What does Master Lu mean by this?" Wang Wan was puzzled.
"Your previous letter said that your husband spent 10,000 taels of silver to ask the Tianma Escort Bureau to escort him a secret escort." Lu Jing paused, "These people who come to your house to harass you are probably for that." Something came from it.”
"But that thing has been lost," Wang Wan frowned, "My husband took that thing to the Tianma Escort Bureau, but his body was found three days later in a ruined temple outside the city, with nothing on him except clothes. And that thing should naturally have fallen into the hands of Tianma Escort Bureau, why do they want to come back to find us orphans and widows?"
"Now it seems that your husband-in-law must have kept something secret." Lu Jing said, "The things he asked the Tianma Escort Bureau to escort are probably not genuine."
Wang Wan was startled, "Are you saying that my husband-in-law spent ten thousand taels of silver just to let the Tianma Escort Bureau make a futile trip?"
Lu Ding nodded, "This secret escort from Tianma Escort Agency is just a bait. Your husband should have follow-up arrangements. This method is not uncommon in the world, but I don't know if he was killed because he was angry after being discovered by the other party." He, but what is certain is that they have not got that thing yet, otherwise they will not come back to harass you again.
"First they sneaked into your house and rummaged through it, and deliberately left footprints. It was also a common trick to rummage through the bookshelves for you to see, in order to alert the snake and see how you would react when you were threatened. What would you do? No attempt will be made to move that thing.
"In the end, they must have seen from your reaction that you didn't know anything about it, so they planned to scare you away completely and then search slowly."
After hearing this, Yan Yun looked at Lu Jing in surprise. Lu Jing became famous very quickly. It only took two years from being known to become a first-class master. Yan Yun originally thought that Lu Jing didn't have much experience in the world.
But Lu Jing's response seemed very sophisticated when Xiao Bi solved the seventh question before, and now these words completely overturned her original view.
Yan Yun didn't know that there was such a thing as a master teaching his disciples.
Because she was born in Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, and her master was one of the best in the world, so naturally she disdained to use any tricks in the world. She basically accumulated similar things bit by bit while traveling in the world.
Yan Yun thought the same was true for Lu Jing, just assuming that he had been around for a long time. As for why he hadn't heard any news about him more than two years ago, it was probably because he wanted to remain anonymous at that time.
Thinking about this, Yan Yun had to admire Lu Jing's character. After all, as a young man, who doesn't desire to become famous? There are very few people who possess peerless martial arts but can still endure loneliness.
Moreover, it was said that he had worked as a porter for half a year before. With Lu Jing's skills, it was impossible for him to be interested in the few pennies he earned as a porter.
So he probably used this to hone his character. No wonder he is now able to remain calm. Even after learning that he could not cultivate his secret power, he did not complain at all. Instead, he continued to strive for self-improvement and won the first place in this competition.
Although Yan Yun has been praised many times by her master for her tenacity, she still can't be as careless as Lu Jing.
"Then what should I do, Master Lu? Keep this house?" Wang Wan then asked.
"No, continue selling," Lu Jing said, "Let's see who the final buyer is. In addition, Miss Yan and I will help you investigate the Tianma Escort Bureau."
"The slave family has nothing to repay Daxia Lu's great kindness." Wang Wan suddenly stood up from his seat after hearing this, and then fell to his knees, "I still have some money left by my late husband. I will take out six thousand taels from it... and donate it to Daxia Lu's house. Open a charity hall."
"Ah," Lu Jing hurriedly went to help her, not letting the young woman kneel down firmly this time. He was a little excited when he heard the six thousand taels of silver, but he didn't expect that there was still another sentence waiting for him.
Speaking of which, Hall Master Huang of Sanhu Hall should also be blamed for this matter. Thanks to Hall Master Huang's previous vigorous publicity, everyone surnamed Bai in the city now thinks that Daxia Lu does not love money.
So when Wang Wan talked about expressing gratitude, she also sent it directly to the shantang.
But just donate to the charity. Lu Jing is now worth over ten thousand, and his desire for money is not as strong as before. He is just a little surprised why his windfall luck has not taken effect.
Wang Wan was supported by Lu Jing's arm, and her body trembled slightly, but she quickly said, "It's getting late. I've already had the guest room prepared. You two have come all the way from the capital, so you must be tired. It’s better to have a night’s rest first. With you here, the people in this house can finally sleep peacefully tonight.”
