They were in charge of being beautiful, and she was in charge of taking the hits.

Chapter 294 Lying Without Thinking

Seeing two unremarkable-looking people standing at the door, they even seemed impatient and wanted to drive them away.

Only after they revealed their identities did they bow and scrape as they were ushered inside.

But it's only on the surface that things are harmonious; inside, they're still grumbling and complaining.

"Gentlemen, please ask the prefect to come over. I have some important matters to discuss with her."

"Oh, sir, I'm afraid that won't work. We can't find the prefect at all during our rest periods."

"Yuerong, what should we do if we can't find the prefect?"

Fang Yuerong finally understood why Wu Ziyan had brought him here; it turned out he was waiting for him at this time.

He revealed a businessman's smile and pulled a cloth bag from Liu's shoulder.

Inside were heavy silver coins; two were taken out and handed to the two men on night duty.

"Thank you for your hard work, sisters."

Isn't that clear enough? The two of them weighed it in their hands.

Wow, this is quite heavy. The two looked at each other and smiled, their attitude becoming cheerful again.

"Sir, wait here, we'll go and call him right away."

When the prefect was hurriedly summoned, he found two unremarkable-looking men waiting for him there.

He glared at the two people on duty with a look that seemed to say, "How are you doing your job?"

Does even a nobody like a cat or dog deserve to see her?

Upon seeing Wu Ziyan's sign, he became obsequious again.

She certainly didn't use her own identity; it was just that her status as her elder sister's subordinate was effective.

Wu Ziyan sat down in the main hall, and Fang Yuerong stood beside her, exuding a certain air of authority. The prefect sized them up.

She wondered why they would come looking for her when everyone else was resting that night.

"Sir, may I ask your name? What business do you have with me?"

"Isn't your so-called great Confucian scholar's lecture just a guise for selling slaves? Is this permitted by the Wu Dynasty?"

"Huh? I didn't know that. Isn't this something the officials in the court allow?"

"But that has never been under our jurisdiction; it seems to be under the jurisdiction of higher authorities."

"It is tax payment, and it is always paid through us."

I wonder how perfunctory her statement was.

Even a fool could see that when Wu Ziyan slammed the gavel down, the resounding thud was still quite impactful.

"You're not telling the truth?"

"That's the truth. The person who took over did have official documents from higher-ups, which is why we didn't interfere."

"We thought it was some big shot up doing the business, and we lowly underlings wouldn't dare to get involved!"

"Then you didn't profit from it?" Fang Yuerong squinted, his nose as a businessman was very sharp.

No one gets up early without a reason; who would allow such criminal acts to be carried out in their own state?

"They pay a lot of taxes, but it really has nothing to do with us; we're just taking the money!"

"Then don't you know what kind of shady business they're engaged in?"

"One of my men went missing in the temple today. I need you to send troops to find him!"

"This...sir, I'm afraid that won't work. After all, it's still a major pillar industry of our state."

"We can't afford to offend those in higher positions!"

"You've offended me, are you sure you can afford to take the blame?"

Wu Ziyan, who should have been getting her beauty sleep late at night, was extremely impatient to hear her swirling around.

His eyes were fierce as he stared intently at the group of people, who were somewhat frightened by his gaze.

"I'm determined to have these soldiers. You're unwilling to send them? Then I'll write a letter immediately. I refuse to believe that His Highness will ignore this!"

"Oh dear, sir, you're making things difficult for your servants."

"You all look so fat and bloated! You can't bear to part with those two coins, can you?"

"Those two professionals who accepted bribes deserve twenty strokes of the cane!"

The two men who had just taken the money immediately knelt down.

I thought the arrival of the main figure would suppress these two people, but I didn't expect the prefect to be afraid as well!

"That……"

"What? Get me some troops right now! Do you even know who those two missing people are?"

"Can you bear the responsibility? One of them is the Fourth Prince of the current dynasty, the First Prince's own sister."

"One of them is a young master from the Situ family! Haven't you heard of General Situ's illustrious reputation!"

Fang Yuerong watched her speak without batting an eye, wondering what kind of identity she had just randomly assigned.

When talking about yourself, it's as if you're talking about someone else! Okay, okay, I've learned something, the main thing is to make things up!

But the prefect below listened to her speak eloquently and remained completely composed.

They sound so convincing, but what if they get caught by the people inside?

Even if there were something good or bad, ten heads wouldn't be enough to chop off!

Why has the Fourth Prince come to Qin Prefecture?

"Is that something a subordinate like you should be asking?! Go and mobilize the troops!"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes! What are you two doing? Didn't you hear the adults say to mobilize troops? Hurry up!"

The two henchmen ran off quickly, while the prefect remained there, constantly wiping the sweat from his brow.

Fang Yuerong and Wu Ziyan exchanged a glance, their eyes full of praise. You really are something!

Wu Ziyan nodded in agreement; she was the best at lying without batting an eye.

Now I just pray that nothing happens to Chu Yu and Qi Zexuan!

Meanwhile, many people left the temple disappointed, while others found love.

But suddenly a large number of soldiers rushed in and surrounded the entrance. The people at the entrance quickly went to inform the temple's owner.

There was already a treaty in place there: if you don't offend me, I won't offend you.

Why are troops suddenly being sent to surround this temple?

"What's going on? Why are there so many soldiers outside all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, they're carrying knives and trying to rush in. What should we do, sir?"

"Could it be because of those two people? That can't be right, those two people aren't that important!"

He muttered to himself, yet still managed to expel the assassins from the temple!

What good would it do if these soldiers came? Even if they found him, he'd probably be gone without a trace.

She refused to believe that he could pin the blame on her, given his shameless denial.

Those assassins take the temple's money, so they're doing their jobs, aren't they?

Once outside, they engaged in a fierce battle with the government troops, but their fighting was somewhat faked.

At this moment, Qi Zeyun and Chu Qiu had also entered the hall.

There were still people gathered there who couldn't come up with a matching couplet but coveted the beautiful slave. Chu Qiu looked around the hall.

Their actions have alerted those who want to wear masks.

Slowly approaching them, Chu Qiu finally discovered the mark left by Chu Yu in a corner.

So it really was brought here.

He was also inwardly complaining about why his sister had to go along with Qi Zexuan's nonsense.

The sword in his hand flew out, and a masked man in black was knocked to the ground.

The hall erupted into chaos, filled with shouts, as innocent people clutched their money boxes and rushed outside.

Masked men in black were mixed in with them, trying to launch a sneak attack on Chu Qiu and his group, but who were they?

In just a few moves, all the men in black were on the ground.

Perhaps Qi Zeyun was too angry, because he killed people in a bloody manner, with blood splattering everywhere!
