Chapter 272 The lies need to continue

"Shen Ru, Xiao Wujin, this matter is not over yet, I will come back."

Pei Wenjing turned around and left quickly with a hoarse voice, leaving behind such words that made Shen Ru feel very speechless.

Turning back to meet Xiao Wujin's probing eyes, her heart tightened.

Did Pei Wenjing come to drive a wedge between her and Xiao Wujin?

"Aru, what do you know?"

Xiao Wujin looked at Shen Ru inquiringly, "Who is this person?"

"I..." Shen Ru was entangled, one lie had to be made up for with thousands of lies.

"Is he the dignitary in Beijing whose home was confiscated in the past? Why do you think he is a rebel?"

Xiao Wujin asked again before Shen Ru could speak.

"He recognizes me, but I don't know who he is. I have heard that in the past, the homes of those in the capital were ransacked, and some children from aristocratic families ran away." Shen Ru said hesitantly, "In the past, there were too many rebellions, and people whose homes were ransacked were always It’s not like he’s still on the court’s side.”

Xiao Wujin nodded after hearing what Shen Ru said.

"Your analysis is correct. It seems that this person must be a powerful queen in the capital in the past."

Xiao Wujin was thoughtful, then looked at Shen Ru and said: "Aru, you just lied to him that the fine salt prescription has been sent to the capital. This paper cannot contain the fire. They can even kill the Jiedushi. There must be an informant. Aru, next time something happens, don't stand in front of me. You make me very worried. "

"Ha~" Shen Ru thought that Xiao Wujin would break the casserole and ask what happened!
"How can a man hide behind a woman? Moreover, no one knew about your affair with Xiaoyan. Now...you have involved yourself in it!"

The disapproval in Xiao Wujin's words was also concern, "Aru, what do you think I should do to you!"

"Xiao Wujin, actually..." Shen Ru wanted to confess for a moment.

"Aru, if you don't want to say it, don't say it." Xiao Wujin is not stupid, and he is not easy to fool. Before he fell in love with Shen Ru, he also suspected that there was someone behind Shen Ru's back.

But aside from this, everything Shen Ru did in Liangzhou did not harm anyone's interests.

The Shen family all lived peacefully, and Shen Ru treated others with sincerity, but for him, he first fell in love with Shen Ru, and then fell deeper and deeper into it, so what could he not tolerate?
Shen Ru struggled in her heart for a long time. She knew that Xiao Wujin was not stupid.

"Xiao Wujin, I... suspect that he is Prince Jing!"

Shen Ru lowered his voice and said, "But the prince has been beheaded, so I'm not sure."

Xiao Wujin looked startled, then calmed down.

"Nothing, Aru, let's go back!"

"Aren't you... not angry?"

"Why are you angry? You stood up for me. I was so touched that I wanted to commit myself to you!"

Xiao Wujin smiled lightly and said: "Aru, no matter what you do, I will never be angry."

"Come on, don't talk too much. Everyone has a temper."

Shen Ru did not accept Xiao Wujin's tactics: "I don't know what his intention was in revealing my identity in front of you, but Xiao Wujin, I don't like the suspicion and misunderstanding between you and me. This person is mine." We are old acquaintances, but I can guarantee you that he and I have never conspired together!"

"I believe you!" Xiao Wujin said seriously, "Really!"

"I'll believe it if you tell me. Don't make me angry about this in the future!"

She really hates settling old scores and stuff like that.

"Well, I really don't care." Xiao Wujin said sincerely. How could he be so serious when she stood in front of him when danger came?
Look at people's hearts, he knows how Shen Ru treats him, just be sincere!
The two returned to the city together. Shen Ru was afraid that Pei Wenjing would come back, so he sent Xiao Wujin directly back to the governor's mansion, and told others to protect Xiao Wujin.

"Miss Shen, can't you, have you really met the person who assassinated Sir again?"

Luneng's eyes widened, he shouldn't have carried it like this! "We just met, so wherever you adults go from now on, you must follow me!"

Shen Ru said seriously: "Don't let the other party take advantage of you!"

"What if the adult needs to go to the toilet?"

"Going to the toilet..."

Shen Ru was led astray by Luneng. She glared at Luneng, looked at Xiao Wujin with a smile on her lips, and said in a complaining tone:

"You can't let anything happen to me, you know?"

"Well, for Aru, I also want to live well!"

Xiao Wujin smiled, and Aru looked a little cute when he explained the matter.

"Then I'll go back first. If anything happens, let me know immediately." If Shen Ruo had a hunch, Pei Wenjing would definitely come to find her!
Pei Wenjing sneaked into Shen's house in the dead of night, disturbing Shen Ru who was about to sleep, but before she could go out, Wu Ya had already launched an attack on the tightly wrapped Pei Wenjing.

Shen Ru watched Wu Ya's battle with Pei Wenjing leisurely, and asked Cui Xi and others who were alarmed to go back to the house and close the door.

She also felt unhappy with Pei Wenjing. How could he reveal her identity in front of Xiao Wujin?
Looking at it this way, Pei Wenjing's skills are very powerful, and he has obviously gained some experience since he was in the capital.

"Wu Ya, stop!" Seeing Wu Ya's defeat, Shen Ru shouted. "I know this guy."

"Shen Ru, all the fine salt in Liangzhou flows from Xiao Wujin's hands. What he did is not enough to cut off even ten heads."

"I know, so what?" Shen Ru asked Wu Ya to go back to the house and face Pei Wenjing alone.

"Shen Ru...you still like him like this?"

"Are you taking too much care? If you are here to ask about the fine salt, then I will tell you that I know that the food and grass for the Liangzhou army, the relocation of the people, and the salaries of the Liangzhou officials all come from here. of."

"You killed the Jiedushi envoys and the officials who came from the imperial court. You should also know very well that Liangzhou officials have no salary."

"He used his own way to keep Liangzhou from chaos. What's wrong?"

Shen Ruyi spoke sternly and looked directly at Pei Wenjing.

"It's you, jumping around and making me very unhappy!"

With that said, Shen Ru shot the flying knife at Pei Wenjing.

Pei Wenjing dodged and his mask slipped off. Seeing Shen Ru dancing with a flying knife on a thin chain in his hand, he immediately covered his face again.

"Shen Ru, are you serious?"

"You jump up and down on my good days. Do you think I'm not popular?"

Shen Rusa said angrily: "I told you before that you and I are not on the same journey. It's best to pretend that we don't know each other. What do you want to do?"

What did Pei Wenjing want to do? Firstly, he found out that Xiao Wujin was related to the sale of fine salt, so he naturally wanted to seize the salt refining method. Secondly, it was also selfish. Shen Ru took great care of the Pei family, and he wanted to repair the relationship in the future. No one knows about it, right?
"Liangzhou is stable and you people shouldn't come to destroy it. I will go see the old lady of the Pei family tomorrow!"

Shen Ru stopped and looked at Pei Wenjing sarcastically.

"you dare?"

"Why don't you dare? Your third aunt is also working in my ranch, and your cousin is also doing well in the Governor's Mansion. Since you think they are living too well, why don't we all open the skylights and speak out!"

"Shen Ru, stop thinking about it, we won't move in Liangzhou!"

Pei Wenjing lowered her voice and said, "I am determined to get the fine salt formula!"
