Cui Lingyi, Bai Wutong and the rest appeared together. When they saw that Cui Shize was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Cui Lingyi asked with concern, “Father, are you alright?”
Cui Shize realized that his daughter’s eyes were a little red and he smiled widely to make her happy. “I’m fine! I still have to take care of Xiaoxiao and watch her get married with my own eyes!”
There were so many people around. Cui Lingyi glared at him. “Worry about yourself first! ”
Cui Shize immediately shut up. In his life, just Xiaoxiao’s mother was enough.
Although Qingfeng had personally shocked You Huaijie, with his cunning and sinister personality, he would not let it go easily.
He was even very likely to charge Youjia Village with a heavier crime!
If something happened to the officials sent here over and again, it would definitely arouse the Eldest Prince’s suspicion. You Huaijie could not die unless they had no choice.
Bai Wutong said to Qingfeng, “Continue to monitor You Huaijie.”
Qingfeng nodded. “Yes. ‘
You Huaijie had released the people to Youjia Village, but he did not dare to return to Youjia Village again, afraid that he would be lose his life “accidentally” if he was plotted against.
You Huaijie returned to the residence in Woqian Town and pondered back and forth in his room. When the servant took the refugee book and flipped through it, his gaze landed on the row of names of the Cui family and he was immediately shocked.
He muttered in disbelief, “Cui Shize... Cui Shize... The 30 families of Qinghe...!!! The remnants of the previous dynasty!!!”
“They must be the remnants of the previous dynasty!!”
Everyone knew that Cui Shize was loyal to the Yan Kingdom’s Emperor. Even though he had been demoted to the frontier, perhaps he was just putting on a show to regain his powers. He had specially hidden in the Jade Spiritual
Mountain and spread the news that there was a gold mine, attracting Emperor Ling Hui or the Eldest Prince, so that he could secretly set up an ambush and carry out an assassination!
And whether he succeeded or not, he would not be able to escape death!
You Huaijie felt a chill run down his spine. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
If it was Prime Minister Cui, he would definitely still have the bargaining chip of the Yan Kingdom’s Emperor. For example, a one in a million expert!
You Huaijie’s mouth trembled. “Fortunately! Fortunately! Fortunately, it’s not too late!”
If the expose was successful, he would still be able to make a great contribution!
You Huaijie took a sip of herbal tea and forced himself to calm down. With trembling hands, he threw away a few pieces of paper before writing the letter to the Eldest Prince. He carefully copied more than 10 copies.
It would definitely be too late to send a letter back. The target was also influential and the letter might be intercepted.
You Huaijie acted smart and bought more than ten messenger pigeons. As long as one messenger pigeon flew to the Eldest Prince, the report would be successful.
The messenger pigeons were released at night. Not long after they flew out, “Plop, plop, plop, plop...”
The dark guards hidden secretly hit them with rocks, and the messenger pigeons fell from the sky. They picked them up when they were still alive. If they were unimportant letters, they could continue to be released after reading them.
The dark guard took out the letter from the pigeon’s foot and used a special method to unfold the waxed letter.
After reading the contents of the letter, the dark guards quickly killed all the messenger pigeons. One of them rushed back to Youjia Village with all the letters.
It was late at night when the dark guards arrived at Youjia Village.
He handed all the letters to Qingfeng, whose gaze turned cold. “Did you miss anything?”
The dark guard said respectfully, “No.”
Qingfeng nodded, and the dark guard quietly hid his tracks again.
Qingfeng knocked on the door of Bai Wutong’s house in the middle of the night, and she immediately realized that something big had happened.
She and Chu Tianbao put on their clothes and came down. After reading more than ten letters reporting that Youjia village had remnant members of the previous dynasty, she made up her mind.
No matter what, they could not keep You Huaijie alive.
Bai Wutong said to Qingfeng, ‘Go and find out how You Huaijie lives and speaks. Find someone similar to You Huaijie. I’ll hurry up and make a disguise mask now.”
Her decision was obvious. She wanted to replace You Huaijie with her own people and use him.
After Qingfeng received the order, she immediately flew away.
To make a face-changing mask, she needed modern cosmetics from the RV space. She glanced at Chu Tianbao and went to the study.
However, she did not lock the door. If Chu Tianbao came in and found out, she would tell him.
Bai Wutong’s memory was very good. After staying up all night, she finally made a mask that was no different from You Huaijie’s.
She stretched and rubbed her tired eyes.
After Chu Tianbao knocked on the door and entered, his gaze landed on the scary human skin mask. He was not frightened or suspicious, as if everything was so natural.
He didn’t ask anything. Bai Wutong thought about it but didn’t say anything.
Now that the two of them were in good condition, there was no need to explain.
In order to prevent any accidents, she made two human skin mask. Only then did Qingfeng bring the dark guards who had observed You Huaijie’s every move to them.
The dark guards wore the human skin mask and You Huaijie’s clothes. He was just like twin brothers with You Huaijie.
When she saw him say two words, she was surprised to find that even his voice was the same.
Even if the Eldest Prince came, he would definitely not be able to recognize him!
Relieved, Qingfeng led him into You Huaijie’s mansion.
The next day, You Huaijie came to Youjia Village again.
What was different from before was that You Huaijie’s attitude had changed drastically.
He kept saying that it was almost the new year and was worried that they would be isolated in the Jade Spiritual Mountain and lack clothes and food. He specially sent more than ten carriages and gifted each family ten catties of white flour and a batch of cotton cloth.
In addition, every family would receive a tael of silver as a subsidy!
Not only did the villagers of Lintian Village feel like they were dreaming, but the villagers of Youjia Village also felt that it was very unbelievable.
You Huaijie’s sudden change made people feel uneasy.
Zhao Erwa was the most traumatized. He stared at the white flour distributed by the official uneasily and said suspiciously, “Father, could this be the decapitation meal that people always talk about?”
Father Zhao and Zhao Erwa thought the same. The father and son looked at each other and felt their hair stand on end.
Many villagers present thought this way. They were afraid that they would fall into You Huaijie’s trap and be arrested. Not many people dared to go forward to receive their items.
Zhao Lanzhi lowered her voice and muttered to her family, “I heard that the Imperial Court is about to send someone down. The dog official is pretending to be sympathetic to the people. If Madam Bai and the others have accepted it, we’ll accept it too.”
Zhao Erwa and the others nodded in unison. “Yes, we’ll follow Madam Bail’ They would definitely not go wrong by following Madam Bai!
If not for the fact that she was afraid of exaggerating, Bai Wutong would have asked the authorities to subsidize 10 taels of silver per family!
After all, they were stuck here and they could not sell away the brewed Phoenix Feather Wine. The subsidy of 10 taels of silver was not much.
After Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao received the items, everyone immediately rushed to line up.
After obtaining a bag of white flour, Zhao Erwa looked as if he had picked up a pie that had fallen from the sky. His face was blissful. “Mother, I want to eat dumplings! ‘
Over the past few days, everyone had been trembling in fear and could not eat a good meal in peace. After receiving the silver and holding the cloth, Mother Zhao smiled like a flower.. “Alright, let’s eat dumplings tonight!”
