Xiang Yan told Wei Chunhua his predicament and asked Wei Chunhua to find a job for him in Lichunyuan. Wei Chunhua handed Xiang Yan a banknote and said, "How can you, a child from a good family, hang out in a brothel? You stay here for a few days, and then you can move in when my new house is ready." Xiang Yan was greatly surprised: "Looking at the decoration of Wei Chunhua's room in Lichun Court, Wei Chunhua seems to be living in poverty. Where did she get the money to buy a new house?" A bad thought flashed through Xiang Yan's mind.
Wei Chunhua said in a proud tone: "Prefect Wu was visiting the brothels in Lichun Court today. I went to see him before coming and told him that I was the mother of Xiao Guizi who killed Ao Bai. As the prefect of Yangzhou, Wu Zhirong , as soon as he heard that I was Xiao Guizi's mother, he immediately nodded and bowed to me, and decided to give me a house at that time. After the house is cleaned up, Xiaoyan, please move over and live with me!" Shuang'er! Tears suddenly burst out.
Wei Chunhua hurriedly asked: "Shuang'er, what's wrong with you?" Shuang'er choked and said: "When I was at the banker, our eldest young master made a book, which contained words to curse the Manchus. There was a bad name. Called Wu Zhirong, he took the book and reported it to Ao Bai. When the incident got serious, hundreds of people were killed. Even the bookstore owner who sold the book and the people who bought it and came to see it were all arrested and beheaded. My parents, as well as My two brothers were also killed at this time." After saying that, he burst into tears.
Xiang Yan saw Shuang'er crying so sadly that he couldn't help but use the "Breathing Condensation Skill" to think about it, and said to Wei Chunhua: "Auntie, Shuang'er is your daughter-in-law, her enemy is your enemy, you have to make the decision for her Ah!" Wei Chunhua was at a loss and said, "Of course I am willing to make the decision for her, but what should I do? By the way, didn't Xiaobao become a high official? I'll go tell Xiaobao and let him help you. Revenge." Xiang Yan said: "Don't bother Xiaobao with this matter. Besides, Xiaobao is busy now and I don't know when he will be free. I have a way to avenge Shuang'er now."
Shuang'er stopped crying and looked at Xiang Yan with Wei Chunhua. Xiang Yan said: "Auntie, please return the house that Wu Zhirong gave you, tell him that you want to go to the capital to find Xiaobao, and ask him to take you there in person. When you get to the capital, you give him a banquet and drink wine. After drugging all the people at the scene, Shuang'er took action and killed Wu Zhirong." "I am very experienced in this matter. This is how Wei Xiaobao and I let Wu Lishen and the others go, and it should be appropriate to kill Wu Zhirong like this now. Okay?" Xiang Yan thought to himself: "Wei Chunhua just went to the capital, so where should I go?"
Wei Chunhua said, "Why wait until later? I can charm him now." Xiang Yan said, "Auntie, has Wu Zhirong told anyone else about your identity? Does anyone else know that you are Xiaobao's mother?" Wei Chunhua said. Chunhua said sadly: "He probably didn't say it! It's not a glorious thing for Xiaobao to have a mother like me. Wu Zhirong is definitely not a fool if he can become the prefect. I don't think he will talk nonsense everywhere."
Xiang Yan said: "Then the Yangzhou government officials don't know your identity. If Shuang'er kills Wu Zhirong now, if the government officials drag you to the government office for interrogation, I'm afraid you will have to suffer a little. It's better to get to the capital soon. When the time comes to kill Wu Zhirong, Xiaobao will be there to protect you. Who dares to be rude to you?" Shuang'er said hurriedly: "There is no rush to kill Wu Zhirong. You can kill him a few days later." Wei Chunhua nodded and said: " But Wu Zhirong is the prefect of Yangzhou. Can he go to the capital for no reason?" Xiang Yan said with a smile: "Let him handle this matter by himself. This is a good opportunity to please Xiaobao, and I don't think he will miss it. "
Shuang'er asked again: "Wu Zhirong's death really won't bring trouble to my wife?" Xiang Yan said: "Auntie is Xiaobao's mother after all. As long as auntie insists that she was also drugged, nothing will happen. You know, no one can do anything to my aunt." Wei Chunhua also said: "Don't worry Shuang'er, I'm the best at this." Wei Chunhua stood up and said: "I'll go back to Wu Zhirong first. How long will you two stay here? God, I'll let you know when I make arrangements." Xiang Yan and Shuang'er sent Wei Chunhua out.
After Wei Chunhua left, Shuang'er asked again: "Master Xiang, will my revenge for killing Wu Zhirong delay my detoxification for you?" Xiang Yan sighed secretly in his heart and said, "No delay. If you want to help me detoxify, you need to rush to Mount Wutai to find me." Brother Mao, you still have to pass through the capital when you get to Wutai Mountain. What will you do to delay Wu Zhirong on the way to the capital?" He then said: "Since my aunt has gone to the capital, it is not appropriate for me to stay in Yangzhou alone. Why don't I go with you? Let’s go to Mount Wutai together!”
Wu Zhirong was eager to please Wei Xiaobao, so the next day, Wei Chunhua notified Xiang Yan and Shuang'er to leave for the capital the next day. On the third day, Wu Zhirong personally accompanied Wei Chunhua on board the boat to the capital, and Xiang Yan and Shuang'er also went on board under Wei Chunhua's arrangement, dressed in government officials' clothes. Shuang'er originally planned to board the ship as Wei Chunhua's maid, but Xiang Yan felt that if Wei Chunhua's maid was discovered to have killed Wu Zhirong, it might cause trouble for Wei Chunhua. Shuang'er found two sets of yamen servants' clothes and wanted to pretend to be yamen servants with Xiang Yan and get on the boat.
Xiang Yan was so frightened that he said, "Don't Wu Zhirong know how many government officials he brought aboard the ship? Wouldn't anyone be suspicious of the sudden appearance of two more government officials among the government officials?" Fortunately, Wei Chunhua was there to cover him, so even if he was discovered, he would be able to survive. In order to save his life, and Xiang Yan didn't want to be underestimated by Shuang'er, he agreed to Shuang'er's suggestion in fear.
What surprised Xiang Yan was that no one noticed that there were two more yamen on the ship after he and Shuang had been on the ship for so many days. Has no one ever done a head count? Wouldn't it be strange for the government officials to find two more unfamiliar colleagues?
