Chapter 214 Whose Bureau?
Chapter 214 Whose Bureau?
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell into silence again.
"Miss, I have never thought of betraying you or hurting you. He has been kind to me and my mother. The master and his wife are also my benefactors. It was the master and his wife who gave me the ability to read and write and the food and clothing I have. I have never forgotten it."
"Miss, please don't chase me away."
Then she knelt down and kowtowed a few more times:
"Except for delivering this letter with confirmed contents that I cannot tell you, I have never done anything else."
Mu Lianzhi's heart was also complicated. She didn't say anything, but she reached out and pulled her up. On the other side, Beitang Yi murmured:
"You are quite thoughtful. Where is the original letter?"
This time, it was Xia Xiu who remained silent. She fiddled with her clothes. She seemed to have returned to the beginning. She admitted her mistake but didn't say a word, which meant that everyone could see it.
She values friendship very much and is unwilling to break her original oath, nor does she want to hurt her current master, and vice versa.
After exchanging a glance with Beitang Yi, Mu Lianzhi felt even more depressed. Just as she was still hesitating, Beitang Yi suddenly spoke up:
"Do you know why he founded the charity and showed kindness to you, but he made you keep such a promise?"
Suddenly raising her eyes, Xia Xiu's eyes widened unconsciously, and she had a vague feeling that something was not good.
"Because his mission in this life is to select people like you, cast a wide net, catch more fish, and select the best. The fact that you were sent to the human traffickers means that your character is not good enough, but your physique is not good enough, and you are not suitable for martial arts training. Otherwise, you would be what she is now."
After he finished speaking, Beitang Yi glanced at Leng Yun on the side with a hint of understanding:
"You don't have to feel too burdened. He went there with a purpose. You both wanted what you wanted from the beginning. It's just that you were not worthy enough to be taken away by him in the end."
"Or maybe you are lucky that he didn't take you away, otherwise you would not know what fate awaits you. But what he said is true. Where you are sold to and what happens to you depends entirely on your own luck."
"Xia Xiu, kindness with a purpose is not true kindness. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Besides, I am the current helmsman of Yutian Pavilion. It is not a betrayal for you to be honest with me. According to common sense, you are the outside agents who have been there for years or even decades, and the number of people who can stay is very limited. Whenever you are used, there are strict procedures and you should have passed my eyes. But I didn't receive any news from you this time."
"This matter also concerns your young lady. Do you understand the pros and cons?"
The implication is that this matter is both important and abnormal.
Xia Xiu was smart, so she understood it immediately. As soon as Beitang Yi finished speaking, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took out an amulet from her belt, turned out a ball of paper and handed it over.
Spreading it out, Beitang Yi took a look and found that it was almost exactly the same as the one Xia Xiu had copied, except for the handwriting.
The words above are obviously more powerful, but judging by their elegance, they should have been written by a woman.
After a detailed inspection, Beitang Yi handed it to Leng Yun and asked her to look at the secret code. Soon, Leng Yun shook her head at him.
"Literally?"
How could Yutian Pavilion waste such an opportunity?
Who enabled her?
Beitang Yi frowned, remembering something, and took out the token and gave it to Xia Xiu:
"Take a closer look. Is this the same brand you saw before? Is there anything different?"
After taking a closer look, Xia Xiu thought again:
"It's basically the same, but the gemstone on this one seems to be different. That one has so many colors, and it doesn't reflect light. It's a bit dark. I think it's lapis lazuli, the dark blue kind."
Hearing this, Beitang Yi was really shocked again:
"Is it someone from the Blue Fire Hall?"
The several halls of Yutian Pavilion respect "purple" as the most, and this blue branch is the only one. Except for him, who is qualified to mobilize the leader of the Blue Fire Hall?
Anyone who knows the identity of an outsider must be of high status.
Looking at the note in his hand again, Beitang Yi suddenly understood something:
It’s His Majesty.
The Yutian Pavilion is probably afraid that there is a force that is loyal to His Majesty but is unknown to Him. Only His Majesty is most concerned about the affairs of the Longling Sect and knows all of this. He also has the ability to let the Yutian Pavilion do things silently without telling him.
This letter is used to test Mu Lianzhi!
No wonder in order to let Xia Xiu know the content of the letter, they had to use her to deliver the letter. This way they could create a mystery and mix the truth with the lies. They wanted to pretend to be people from the Dragon Spirit Sect to test Mu Lianzhi and see her reaction.
After figuring everything out, Beitang Yi broke out in cold sweat on his palms.
so close.
If Mu Lianzhi had shown any abnormality yesterday, or if they didn't notice it last night and she went to keep the appointment today, plus the last assassination, then the Mu family, she and the Longling Sect would never be able to clear up in this life, and the emperor would not let them go.
The normal reaction for ordinary people when seeing that symbol would be like Xia Xiu, not taking it seriously at all.
Why would you be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door if you haven’t done anything wrong?
Why would a widow like her be curious about such an ambiguous note?
Fortunately, Mu Lianzhi was alert, fortunately she guessed it was her, and fortunately they decided to observe the follow-up before making a decision.
Beitang Yi's face turned pale, and the air pressure in the room obviously dropped. Mu Lianzhi also noticed something was wrong, and reached out to pull his hand:
"are you OK?"
The two of them looked at each other, Beitang Yi didn't show it on his face, but curled the corner of his lip slightly:
"It's okay. This letter is to lure you into the game. There is a traitor in Yutian Pavilion."
Xia Xiu's face turned pale, and she knelt down with a plop:
"Sir, please kill me! This matter has nothing to do with my young lady. It's all my fault."
Xia Xiu raised her hand and was about to slap herself, but Beitang Yi quickly stopped her:
"You can't be abnormal now. If you want to help your lady, get up quickly."
As soon as Beitang Yi said this, Xia Xiu quickly got up and sobbed to hold back her tears. Seeing that she was really smart and cared about Mu Lianzhi, Beitang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Mu Lianzhi:
"Luckily, you two are smart. With your interference, Xihu has passed this situation and this level. The rest is mine. Just crumple up the letter and throw it in a corner. Don't ask and don't take it seriously."
After explaining, he turned to Xia Xiu:
"If that person comes to see you again, just tell him that the letter has been delivered. Your young lady didn't respond, and you didn't dare to ask any more questions. You know nothing. If he wants you to do anything else, just agree to it and do it openly, and then secretly find a chance to tell your young lady."
"Since you are still protecting Zhizhi, I will not pursue this matter this time, and it will not happen again."
"Find an opportunity to sprinkle this bottle of water on his clothes. This water is colorless and tasteless, and looks almost the same as water. Or you can get a little on his token. With this water, we can track this person down faster. Your safety is the first priority, so don't take any risks."
Beitang Yi handed over a small bottle, and Xia Xiu couldn't help sobbing again:
"Thank you, Sir, thank you, Miss. I will remember this and will definitely handle it well and will not make the same mistake again."
As they were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door:
"Miss, Eunuch Defu has been ordered to deliver the imperial decree."
With a glance, Beitang Yi dropped a teacup to the ground with a "bang" -
