Chapter 423 The cannon fodder shark in the ancient Chinese novel 19

"Little Marquis, it's really not me who hid this person. I told her before that as long as she stole the account books, I would let her go and the mermaid boy I captured with her. Now I still have people watching her outside. , lest they really escape..."
Mr. Tang cried so much that he shook off his responsibilities with tears and runny noses.
Lu Jingzhi was upset when he heard this, especially when he heard that Mr. Tang meant that he did not want Wu to leave the governor's mansion in the first place.
Isn't that the person who wants Ah Wu to steal the account books, and then wants Ah Wu...
Lu Jingzhi's eyes became stern, he held up his sword and said coldly:
"Before the trip, Your Majesty gave you the golden words, allowing me to kill him first and report later, but it seems that you have something else that you haven't revealed..."
Lu Jingzhi's voice paused, and Mr. Tang's tense heart relaxed a little. Now that the evidence was found, Lu Jingzhi could only imprison him, but he could not execute him on the spot!
However, the next second, a cold light flashed in Lu Jingzhi's eyes, and he raised his sword and cut off Master Tang's arm in one swift move.
"Ahhh!"
Mr. Tang held his bleeding arm in pain, and before he could react, Lu Jingzhi stabbed him in one eye.
He was lying on the ground, screaming and cursing in pain, and was restrained by two guards who came over.
"This arm and eye are your first apology gift for killing people in Liangzhou City in all these years."
Lu Jingzhi said coldly, and threw the bloody sword to Eucommia ulmoides in disgust.
He was thinking about Ah Wu now. He frowned slightly and quickly asked Du Zhong:
"Didn't I have people guarding the front and back doors? Did you see Madam?"
"Back to Mr. Marquis, I have people guarding the front and back doors, but... no one is going in or out."
Eucommia responded, and Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly as he looked at the empty wing.
Then I thought of another possibility. She probably didn't go out through the door, but climbed the wall or drilled a hole...
Lu Jingzhi was not too anxious, because he had already asked Jun Song to take people to wait on the fishing boat on the coast. If Ah Wu got there, they would bring her back.
His eyes were dark, and there were some blood stains on his riding clothes, making him look eerie.
The little shark has been ashore for a while, and his head is getting smarter...

On an inconspicuous fishing cart that was far away from the county magistrate's mansion, Yun Wu, who had changed into fisher girl clothes, also covered her head with a small piece of cloth to cover her appearance.
The person driving the fishing cart sitting next to her was Yue Sangning.
"Don't worry, my benefactor, my grandmother, your clansman, has already hidden him in the fishing truck and taken him to the coast. When the time comes, he will be able to dive back to the bottom of the sea once he is dumped into the sea."
"Thank you……"
Yun Wu's voice was thin, and she looked at Yue Sangning with some gratitude.
She originally took the little boy from the Shark tribe out of the magistrate's house through a dog hole, but she didn't expect to meet Yue Sangning as soon as she came out.
Because her people had no legs and could not move easily, Yun Wu was afraid that people from the county guard's office would chase them out, so she asked Yue Sangning to release her people back to the sea first.
"My benefactor, it's better not to go to the coast now. On the way here, I saw many guards from the palace heading towards the coast..."
Yue Sangning said with a worried look on his face, driving the fishing cart carefully in a remote dark alley.
Yun Wu's shoulders trembled, thinking that what Lu Jingzhi said when he tested her last night was indeed going to come true.
"It seems... they are here to catch me. After all, I stole the young marquis's account book evidence and gave it to Mr. Tang..."
She sniffed and said with some fear, clenching her dress helplessly with her hands.
Her belly would be disemboweled, her stomach cramped, her bones peeled off, if she was caught by the young marquis, she would be dried like a small fish in the sun...
"The benefactor also wanted to save his own people..."
Yue Sangning comforted her and drove the fishing cart to the place where she and her grandmother lived quickly.
"My benefactor will stay in my house for the time being. My grandmother will be very happy. She has long wanted to repay your kindness."
"Thank you for taking me in..."
Yun Wu's voice was soft and she carefully got off the fishing cart.
She sighed to herself. She could hide at Yue Sangning's house tonight, but she would have to leave tomorrow.
Since we can't go back to the sea now, let's go somewhere else to play first.
Yun Wu's heart suddenly brightened again, and she followed Yue Sangning into the door of her house.
When the little Marquis loses his temper and forgets her existence, she will sneak back quietly, and then she can go to the coast and swim back to the sea...
Yue Sangning's grandmother was a very amiable old woman. As soon as she saw Yun Wu, she couldn't help but praise her for her beauty.
Not only did he make her a midnight snack, but he also packed up the best room in the house for her to stay for one night.
Yun Wu was already a little tired after experiencing so many things tonight, although she was still afraid that she would be caught by Lu Jingzhi and interrogated and tortured.
She lay on the bed, covered with the clean bedding that Yue Sangning had just brought for her, which still smelled like the sun had dried on it.
"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow..."
Yun Wu yawned and muttered. She was so sleepy now that she had no time to think about her fate.
It was dark at night, in the most inconspicuous fisherman's house deep in the most inconspicuous streets of Liangzhou City.
The little shark is hiding inside and sleeping soundly...
In the palace far away, the lights were brightly lit. In the main hall, Eucommia ulmoides and Juniper were waiting inside, but they did not dare to let out any air.
Lu Jingzhi, who was dressed in black robes, was sitting on a sandalwood chair, holding the hairpin that Yun Wu usually wore in his hand, and he was lighting the desk.
He turned his head and looked at Juniper with a stern face, and then said:
"Didn't see it?"
"Back to the young marquis, my subordinates took a boat and surrounded the coast. I didn't see Miss Yun - ah no, I didn't see the lady coming..."
Juniper touched his head and said honestly, and then asked doubtfully:
"Little Marquis, why do you want us to go to the coast to intercept Madam? Don't normal people walk through the city gate? Could it be that Madam is a fish? What kind of fish? Bighead fish or yellow croaker - "
"No matter what kind of fish it is, just shut up first..."
Du Zhong raised his hand and knocked Jun Song on the head hard. Lu Jingzhi remained silent with a sullen face.
He lowered his head and stroked Yun Wu's favorite silver hairpin, and then whispered:
"She didn't go to the coast, and the city gate was already closed at night. Since she's still in Liangzhou City, there's no need to worry. She has nowhere else to go, except people she knows..."
"But Madam rarely goes out after coming to the palace, and she even knows——"
Jun Song scratched his head and said with a grimace. Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened and he said:
"Last time, a fisherman named Yue Sangning came to see Madam. The two of them seem to know each other."
"Ah."
Lu Jingzhi responded calmly, seeming to have determined where Yun Wu was.
"Then... Young Lord Marquis, my subordinates are going to set off immediately to bring Miss Yun - ah no... to bring back Madam?"
Eucommia took a step forward and bowed her hands. She was still not used to calling Miss Yun his wife, but Lu Jingzhi seemed to be seriously moved.
Lu Jingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at the dark sky outside. It was already very late at night.
According to this time in the past, Ah Wu was already asleep.
