After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

Chapter 16 Uprooted

After meeting Wen Jisheng for the first time, Ban Xiyu temporarily lost news about Wen Jisheng.

To avoid being exposed, she did not dare to take the initiative to communicate with him. She has been keeping herself safe for the past few days, hiding the fact that she has regained her ability to speak.

On the one hand, she quietly followed Miss Liandie to learn those things, and on the other hand, she was also looking for opportunities.

She tried her best to be obedient and obedient, and after two or three days, the mother-in-law and guards who guarded them gradually relaxed their vigilance.

On this day, Ban Xiyu deliberately made a mistake. After the other girls were sent back to the room, she was the only one who stayed in Miss Liandie's room and was instructed over and over again.

Seeing that there were only the two of them in the room, Ban Xiyu immediately locked the door, found a pen and paper, and wrote a sentence:

"I know that you are cooperating with Lianzhuang for money. If you can help me leave Lianzhuang, I will promise you a lot of money. Think about it, girl?"

Miss Liandie took the paper, and smiled after reading it: "Oh, I said, where did your usual cleverness go, so you were looking at this——

"It's true that I seek money, but I don't want to go against Lianzhuang. Even if you have some money, how can you be more generous than Lianzhuang? Jealousy on."

She glanced at Ban Xiyu quite disdainfully, and said, "You'd better hide your flamboyance and don't show it to me. This time it's because of your first offence, so I won't report you. But you If you still do not repent like this, then I can only tell the woman outside and let her teach you a good lesson."

Ban Xiyu calmly took out a gold hairpin from her bosom.

Gold and silver ornaments are dotted on the gold hairpin, and a very beautiful pearl is inlaid in the center.

When he left home, Ban Xiyu specially took it from the dowry because he was worried that the money on the road would not be enough.

The moment Nobile was placed on the table, her eyes widened when she saw Miss Liandie.

Lian Die greedily stared at the bright bead on the hairpin, unable to move her eyes away for a long time.

Ban Xiyu smiled slightly, and wrote on the paper calmly: "These can be used as a deposit. After the matter is completed, I will reward you with a great gift. This gift is only a little bit more, please consider it carefully, girl."

In the past two days, she secretly observed Liandie, paying attention to each other's every move, and finally found some clues at dusk yesterday.

At that time, she was a few steps behind, and when she was about to pass through the circular arch, she saw Mrs. Zhao, who was taking care of the "sacrificing bride", hurrying to the door of Liandie's room.

From Ban Xiyu's point of view, Mrs. Zhao and Liandie behaved a bit sneakily.Ban Xiyu had sharp eyes and immediately saw Mrs. Zhao stuffing a bag of silver into Lian Die's hand.

Lian Die grabbed the bag of silver, narrowed her eyes with a smile, and even took a bite of a silver ingot.

Then, she and Mrs. Zhao exchanged a few more words before leaving Lianzhuang.

It was only after witnessing this incident that Ban Xiyu was able to confirm that Liandie was someone who could cooperate - a money fanatic with an eye for money, whose inner line of defense is the weakest in the face of the temptation of huge interests.

As long as you can gain Liandie's trust and give her everything she wants, then you can find a breakthrough.

This is also the reason why Ban Xiyu made a deliberate mistake and stayed here today.

She wrote on the paper again: "I know Miss Liandie is in urgent need of money for unavoidable reasons. I saw you secretly meeting Mrs. Zhao yesterday. That's why I came to you——

"You need money, but I have gold and silver treasures. As long as you help me, we can get a win-win result."

Hearing this, the smile on Lian Die's face disappeared.

She looked at Ban Xiyu coldly, and said, "Are you threatening me?" Then, she snorted coldly, and said:
"Why do you dare to threaten me? You are just a little dumb girl trapped in Lianzhuang. Besides, I want your things. As long as I shout out, someone will come in immediately and take you down." .

"Even if you tell others that I stole Lianzhuang's warehouse, but I am their guest, and you are just a sacrificial bride, when the time comes, see if they believe you or me?"

Ban Xiyu wrote on the paper: "You don't need to be so excited. I didn't threaten you, and I'm not interested in the deal between you and Mrs. Zhao. I just want to cooperate with you."

Liandie didn't believe her: "Cooperation? What do you use to cooperate with me? Only two parties standing on equal positions are eligible to discuss cooperation. Do you think you are equal to me?"

Ban Xiyu put down the pen and paper in his hand, raised his head and smiled and said, "You and I are indeed not on the same equal position—Miss Liandie, if you don't want to cooperate with me, I'm afraid your life will be lost."

Liandie's expression changed.She stared at Ban Xiyu: "You, can you talk?!" Impossible, didn't even the sacrificial brides in the villa be dumbed down by the silent incense!
How could this woman talk?

Ordinary village women never have this kind of ability, what is her background?
Those who can hide it from Lianzhuang, it seems that this woman has some background and should not be underestimated.

and also--

"What life is not guaranteed, what did you do to me?"

Lian Die's face paled immediately, she thought to herself, if this woman can recover her voice, there is no guarantee that she will do something to her!
Damn it, she shouldn't be fascinated by that gold hairpin. If she had called the guards in earlier, this person would have been subdued by now!
Ban Xiyu said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just a little bit of poison, it's not considered strong. I just threw some sandalwood in the house and lit it in the house. This amount can't kill people. At most, the five internal organs are slowly exhausted, and eventually they die. That's all."

"Impossible, I have been staring at you, how could you have a chance to do something!" Liandie said: "If you talk nonsense again, I will call someone here immediately!"

Ban Xiyu: "If you don't believe me, you can try pressing your temple."

Liandie did as she said, and the next moment, her complexion changed due to the severe pain: "You!"

Ban Xiyu said unhurriedly: "I was dealing with you just now, but in fact I have been waiting for the drug to take effect. It should be almost done now."

Liandie was terrified, staring at her closely, almost burning with anger in her eyes: "If you dare to attack me, aren't you afraid that I will expose you to the people in Lianzhuang?! Let me tell you, if you dare to kill me, I will kill you!" I will never make it easier for you! The big deal is that we will die together!"

Ban Xiyu said: "I never thought of killing you. Whether it's a threat or a discussion, in short, if you want to save your life, you have to cooperate with me."

Although Lian Die didn't want to admit it, let alone give in.But the facts were in front of her eyes, so she couldn't help but bow her head.She stared at Ban Xiyu viciously, thinking, there will always be a chance to deal with this hateful woman!
At this time, Ban Xiyu said again: "You don't need to be angry, and you don't need to be excited. I can guarantee that after the matter is completed, I will be rewarded with a lot of money.

"Besides, I can also give away things more precious than this. With these gold and silver treasures, it is easy for a girl to redeem herself and get rid of her humble status. It depends on whether Miss Liandie is worthy or not."

Lian Die took a deep breath and could only compromise: "What do you want? With your ability, it's easy to leave here. I'm just a little girl, and I can't make decisions in Lianzhuang. If you want to pass me, defeat Lianzhuang , then you have miscalculated.”

Ban Xiyu said: "I don't need a girl to help me defeat Lianzhuang. I just need to know all the information about the master behind Lianzhuang, and I ask the girl to tell me."

Liandie's face was strange: "That's it?"

Ban Xiyu nodded: "This is what I want to know right now."

It's not something that can't be said, Liandie thought about it for a while, and then told what she knew.

Their conversation lasted until the end of dinner time.

When Ban Xiyu left from Liandie's room, the sky was already completely dark.She returned along the original road, but when she passed the small garden in the village, she heard a strange noise not far away:
"Waste things, good goods are gone, you can explain to me clearly!"

It was the voice of a young man scolding.

Ban Xiyu paused, then hid behind the rockery and eavesdropped.

At this time, another person behind the rockery said: "Return to the master, I and I have nothing to do. It is really too difficult for the prefect of Quchuan to deal with it. He insisted that our things come from unknown sources and took them away forcibly!"

The young man let out a heavy "bah" and said: "I knew that the old man thought he could be the head of the Lu family just because he was the son-in-law of our Lu family.

"He doesn't even look at what kind of guy he is. He has integrity in his heart, but he can only be a magistrate at such a young age. He doesn't even think about it. If he didn't have the support of the Lu family, would he be able to continue as the prefect of Quchuan?" ?
"Fuck, dare to grab my things, I think he is impatient!"

He hummed heavily, and said, "Come here, tomorrow you will do as I said..."

Those two lowered their voices, Ban Xiyu couldn't hear clearly.

Not long after that, the two people behind the rockery left one after the other, and went in different directions.

After the sound of their footsteps disappeared, Ban Xiyu dared to come out from behind the rockery.

She patted her chest with lingering fear, and immediately returned to the house.

Ban Xiyu closed the door and turned on the lamp, but her heart was still pounding.

Except for escaping from marriage and leaving Ban's house, today can be said to be the most thrilling day she has ever had.

Fortunately, she has successfully obtained information from Miss Liandie. As long as Wen Jisheng makes progress, maybe they can really uproot Lianzhuang and the forces behind it.

I don't know what happened to Wen Jisheng.

It has been a few days since he left Quenan Village, so it's better to find out any useful clues.

Just as she lowered her head to think, someone gently knocked on the wooden lattice window on one side.As soon as Ban Xiyu opened the window, the sound of silence came in.

Ban Xiyu was afraid that people would find out, so she immediately closed the window tightly.She asked, "How did you find out?"

Wen Jisheng didn't bother to speak, and drank his saliva first: "There are some clues." He said: "This trip to Quchuan Mansion was not in vain, and I really found out something."

According to his investigation, the prefect of Quchuan Zhou made his fortune by relying on the influence outside the landing staff.

At that time, Zhou Zhifu was still a penniless and poor boy, and it was the master of the Lu family who saw him pitifully took him back and taught him to read and write. Only then did Zhou Zhifu have the opportunity to become a Jinshi.

After that, Zhou Zhifu got a small official, and after returning to Quenan Village, he married Lu Yuanwai's younger sister.

"Although the prefect of Zhou can have today, the support of the Lu family is indispensable behind it. But the prefect of Zhou himself is not a waste. After all these years, he has also been promoted to the prefect of Quchuan." Wen Jisheng explained:
"His personality is upright and upright, and there are few grievances under his command. Under his governance, Quchuan Mansion is very peaceful."

"Qingping?" Ban Xiyu didn't quite believe it. "If he is really an upright official, how could there be so many innocent women trapped in Lianzhuang? The culprits are Lu Yuanwai and his nephew Lu Chong, doesn't he know?"

Wen Jisheng said: "I think he should not know about this. There are people other than the Lu officers in the Quchuan government office. They lie to each other, and there is Mrs. Lu covering it up, so all the gossip can't get in. The prefect's ear."

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu sneered: "The Lu family really has great powers, they cooperate with each other inside and outside, and they completely deceive people. In Quchuan Mansion, they only cover the sky with one hand, and they really have no law at all."

"Are you really upset for those girls?" Wen Jisheng looked at Ban Xiyu with suspicion in his eyes.After a while, he said again:

"However, the relationship between Lu Zhong and Zhou Zhifu is not very good. I heard that not long ago, Zhou Zhifu seized some of the goods that Lu Zhong sent to Linzhou, saying that the origin of those items was unknown, and the government had to check them one by one before sending them out of the city. "

"Oh, so that's the case. No wonder Lu Zhong said those words at that time." Ban Xiyu was thoughtful.

Wen Jisheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked: "How do you hear what you said? Have you met Lu Chong? Where did you meet?"

Ban Xiyu said: "Just now. When I came back from Miss Liandie, I bumped into him in the small garden. I hid behind the rockery and heard him talking to his subordinates."

However, according to Lu Zhong himself, some of the content is quite different from what Wen Jisheng said.

Wen Jisheng said: "This Lu Zhong does not do good things, but does all bad things. He has opened many unscrupulous casinos and brothels in Que Nanzhuang, specifically to deceive the people.

"At the beginning, he wanted to develop his business in Quchuan, but he was caught by Zhou Zhifu and taught him a lesson, and the two formed a bond."

Ban Xiyu: "According to what you say, the prefect of Zhou seems to be a trustworthy official?"

Wen Jisheng: "If he can't be trusted, then the whole Quchuan Mansion won't be able to help us. No matter what, we have to give it a try and tell Zhou Zhifu about the situation in Que Nanzhuang."

Ban Xiyu: "I'm afraid it's not that easy." She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said: "I think we may find another way. But this way is a bit risky and troublesome, and I have to ask Miss Liandie for help."

Wen Jisheng: "?"

His expression was very complicated, he was puzzled and surprised at the same time: "What is another way? You can still persuade that brothel girl to help?"

The butterfly girl who taught the art of sacrificing the bride?If I remember correctly, he was invited by Lian Zhuang, right?
Ban Xiyu smiled and said, "I used a little trick."

As she said that, she told about all the things she had induced and threatened Miss Liandie to cooperate with her.

At first, Ban Xiyu didn't dare to reveal all the cards on her body at once, she was afraid that Liandie would call for guards in a panic.So she first lured her with benefits.

According to the information obtained earlier, Lian Die is a greedy person.

Sure enough, a gold hairpin bluffed her, and then threatened her with "poison", Liandie had no choice but to submit.

Thanks to the packets of medicinal powder and spices left behind by Wen Jisheng, Ban Xiyu was able to hold Liandie step by step.

After listening to her words, Wen Jisheng stared blankly: "You...you can do it! When did you become so powerful? But such a roundabout way is not like your style. What's the matter, you don't practice martial arts recently. , have you changed your intellect?"

Ban Xiyu: "..." She was really convinced, how could Wen Jisheng be so dishonest when he was talking about business? "These are not important. Anyway, I have a plan, just listen..."

She explained "such and such", and after a while, Wen Jisheng's eyes lit up, and he praised: "A brilliant plan!"
