Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 620 A New Discovery

Han Zhan had long seen that Lu Lingyu was a useful person, so after he found out that Lu Lingyu was spying on him and Chu Zhi, he stood still and forbearance, and waited until now to send the evidence to Lu Lingyu.

Lu Lingyu is a smart man. He said that he relied on the shadow of his ancestors, so he was able to spend his days idle in the position of Taibao until today.

In fact, it reflects his way of life.

What's more, the envoy hand-picked by King Xiaoyao, even if he was highly trusted by the King of Chu before, there will be a gap now.

Those in high positions are suspicious, this is an eternal truth.

Naturally, Lu Lingyu knew that it would be difficult to survive after returning this time, so after Han Zhan saw through it, he followed the trend.

When two smart people walk together, things are much easier.

No, Lu Lingyu took the initiative to say: "Madam chatted with that Mr. Ji last night, did you find anything?"

Han Zhan flew towards Lu Lingyu with a knife in his eyes. .

He was so frightened that he quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, just guessing that Mr. Ji's identity is extraordinary."

Hearing this, Chu Zhi said: "Although he is a bit stupid, his manner is elegant, well-mannered, and extravagant. He is obviously not an ordinary person. By the way, to express his gratitude, he gave me a waist card, saying If you need help with anything, just take this waist card and go to him, and he will definitely help you."

As he spoke, he put the badge in front of Lu Lingyu: "Look, if you can see anything."

Lu Lingyu took it and looked at it twice, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then took the waist card to the window, held it to a place with sufficient light, carefully examined it, and finally came to a conclusion.

He returned the badge to Chu Zhi: "It really is him."

"you recognize?"

"If the guess is correct, he should be from the Ji family."

"Ji's family?" Han Zhan's heart moved, "But the Ji's family, the number one royal merchant in Chu?"

"Exactly." Lu Lingyu said, "Although there are not many people with the surname Ji, I didn't associate him with the Ji family, but seeing this badge, I can conclude that he is the young master of the Ji family."

"The Ji family has been in business for generations, and all of them are talented individuals. The sons of the Ji family are also smart, but the little son of the Ji family is simple-minded and has no talent for business. He loves reading, but he has always lived in seclusion. Few people have seen him. What does he look like? It was the first time I saw him last night."

Lu Lingyu's expression was a little subtle.

It was rumored that Young Master Ji was a bookworm, and everyone took it for granted that Young Master Ji was a great writer who was rare in a hundred years.

Looking at it now, the Ji family is honest.

That Ji Yanxi is not only an idiot, but a little fool!

Silly and dumb, innocent and simple, very easy to coax.

"It's just strange. It is said that Young Master Ji is very much loved in the Ji family, and he is a highly anticipated existence, and the Ji family also cares for and protects Young Master Ji in every possible way. Why does he appear in Qingcheng alone?"

Han Zhan sneered: "What else? Didn't you hear that he wanted to cultivate immortality and asked? He must have sneaked out from home."

Han Zhan had done this a lot before, so he knew it clearly.

"Then nothing will happen to him?" Chu Zhi asked.

"No." Lu Lingyu said, "No matter how smart young master Ji is, he would have been discovered long ago when he sneaked out of the house. The Ji family has always been hiding around and protecting him secretly!"

Facts have proved that Lu Lingyu was really right.

When they saw Ji Yanxi again, they were really entangled with the members of the Ji family.

Let's say that this heavy snow has been falling for three full days, and after the snow cleared, another batch of unexpected guests came to Qingcheng.

That day Chu Zhi was sitting in the largest restaurant in Qingcheng watching the snow scene, when he saw a large number of offenders pouring in from outside the city. These people had their hands tied with ropes and strung together to form a long line.

In the winter, he was wrapped in a black sackcloth, which was still dilapidated.

These people were so cold that their hands and feet were numb and unable to walk.

The guards who escorted them thought they were walking slowly, so they whipped them down one by one.

"Hurry up, Laozi! Otherwise, Laozi will beat you to death!"

"Get up, don't pretend to be dead!"

"Hurry up, or you will be beaten to death!"

The exposed skin of those people was dark purple, and it was unknown whether it was from the cold, or whether it was the new wounds added to the old wounds from the beatings.

Seeing Chu Zhi staring at the group of prisoners, Lu Lingyu understood, and called Xiao Er to ask what happened.

Xiaoer said: "Returning to the nobleman, these are the slaves eliminated by the Xuanyuan Sect, and they are specially sent to the Wumen."

"So that's how it is." Lu Lingyu suddenly realized, "Since it is the Xuanyuan Sect, why did you pass through Qingcheng? I remember that the Xuanyuan Sect is not here!"

"My lord, I don't know. A few months ago, people from the Xuanyuan faction borrowed the land of the Kongshan faction, saying that they were picking slaves, so they just picked the rest." Xiao Er whispered, "But in fact, the Xuanyuan faction is the same as the Kongshan faction. The two have long been merged into one, and these slaves were actually brought in by the Kongshan Sect for the Xuanyuan Sect, but they just came up with a reason to make it look good and to make other sects say something."

Lu Lingyu said thank you and told Xiao Er to go down.

Chu Zhi and Han Zhan heard Xiao Er's words clearly.

Asked: "There are still slaves in Chu?"

"Of course there are." Lu Lingyu said, "In order to facilitate the cultivation of these immortal sects, the prisoners who violated the law in Chu State will be sent to various sects to do coolies in exchange for the qualification of reducing their sentences. According to the number of years they have been punished They are different, and the work they do is different.”

Lu Lingyu pointed to the group of slaves below and said: "Those are people who are destined to die, so they will be sent to the Wumen. Many Gu insects and poisons in the Wumen were tested on these people. The skeleton is strange, it is a martial arts material, so it will be left in the fairy gate."

Anyway, it's a dead end, so naturally they won't treat them as human beings, and they will die when they die.

But sending him to the Wumen is the real punishment.

After all, snake nests and centipede pits are not so easy.

How many people died on the road of being tempered.

Chu Zhi frowned when he heard it.

Even if someone commits a crime, the death penalty is inevitable, but it is a life after all.

They don't take human life seriously.

And the methods are cruel and cruel, which is really chilling.

Seeing what Chu Zhi was thinking, Lu Lingyu sighed.

He explained: "Chu State has always respected the strong. If you want to stand out, you must be strong enough, and those who are eliminated will naturally be regarded as waste."

How can waste have human rights!
Chu Zhi frowned, he didn't expect that this place was worse than Liang Guo.

Sure enough, many things can't just look at the surface.

"But you don't have to feel sorry for them." Lu Lingyu said, "Anyway, those who can be sent to the Wumen are heinous sinners, not innocent."

"I don't feel distressed." Chu Zhi said, "There is a saying called 'things must be reversed', and these things are normal, even taken for granted, but when these evils reach a certain level, they will inevitably explode with amazing power and cause an irreversible situation .”

The state of Chu seems to be thriving now, but if things go on like this, there will be disasters.
