Weixin seemed to see Wu Zhen's hesitation and said,""If I succeed, everyone will benefit. If I fail…I remember that the emperor dotes on me very much yesterday. Even if you expose me as the mastermind, I will only be reprimanded a few times. Wu Zhen, think about how to decide. I won't force you to go!”
'I…'
Wu Zhen hesitated for a moment before she made up her mind-in order to gain the young master's favor in the future, she decided to make this trip!
The night was dark, and the capital was quiet in the twilight. Weixin was tossing and turning in bed. Wu Zhen should have gone to the Zhen Ming Tower. I wonder if he can succeed?
Weixin thought about it again and again and decided to go and take a look!
Weixin got out of bed and started to put on her clothes. When she went out, she bumped into Mei 'er, who had just finished cooking in the kitchen."Young Master, where are you going so late at night?"
"Go get some wind. You can rest. You don't have to follow me!”Weixin strode away, leaving Kong Meier with a frown. It's so late, and there's still wind?
As she walked on the streets, the evening breeze was very cold on her face. Because she used to travel between Ai Manor and Dreamlike Restaurant at night, Weixin was used to walking at night.
After walking in the dark for about an hour, they arrived at Zhen Ming Tower. The tower had seven floors and the night was dark. Wei Xin climbed up the wooden stairs one floor at a time. Although he couldn't see the surroundings, he could tell that this was an abandoned tower. The walls and floor were covered in dust and cobwebs. Occasionally, he could hear the squeaking of rats! She didn't know which floor she had reached, but Weixin, who was also a woman, had the characteristics of a woman in her heart. She became more and more afraid. She guessed that although Wuzhen had agreed, he might not have come at all. There was actually no one at the top of the tower!
When Weixin was about to retreat, she vaguely heard the voice of someone on the top of the tower. Weixin was brave and walked to the top of the tower quietly. She saw Wu Zhen's back under the moonlight and a masked man standing beside her. Judging from his body shape, it should be a man. Weixin immediately hid beside her and eavesdropped!
"I…want to ask you for a favor. This is…silver!”Wu Zhen said submissively and handed over a hundred taels of silver notes with her trembling hands. She remembered that she had reached the level of the tower in the dark and lit a torch according to the rumors. She waited for a long time without anyone, thinking that it was really the rumors. Just as she was about to give up, someone suddenly appeared behind her, and his face was covered like hers.
It seemed that no one wanted the other party to recognize them!
It was An Hun. He had spread the rumor that someone who needed to light a fire on the top of the tower and then someone would appear to do things for him according to His Lord's orders. His Lord had arranged many killers in the capital. As long as someone saw the fire, they would come to gather silver for His Lord. However, no one had lit a fire on the top of the tower for the past few years.
Today, because the imperial court had sealed the city, they had not been able to catch the assassin who had killed General Wang's family. After noon, the whole city had been released. An Hun had planned to leave tomorrow, but he did not expect to see the fire on the top of the tower before he left!
He wanted to see who was the first person to come and ask for help. He didn't expect it to be a woman's voice!
Looking at the silver she handed over, Grimace lowered his voice and said,""You want to find someone to do things for a hundred taels?"
"My request…isn't high. It's just…stealing!”
"I seem to have forgotten to mention that the rule for hiring me is to kill 10,000 taels of silver and steal 5,000 taels of silver. If you want me to steal something, I will steal 5,000 taels of silver and not a single cent less!”
What was that?
When Weixin heard that the price was too high, she instinctively jumped out and shouted,""Five thousand to steal something? You're robbing me!" After saying that, he realized that he had exposed himself. He hurriedly covered his face with his hands. Unfortunately, under the weak moonlight, An Hun could still see his face clearly!
Ai Weiying!
"Young Master, you're here!" Wu Zhen was already worried. When she saw Weixin, she approached her like a little bird.
Weixin pushed her away. She knew that Grimace had seen her face clearly. Fortunately, she did not cover her face with her other hand. She stared at Grimace and said,"Are you the legendary person who accepts money and works for others?”
“……”
"No matter who it is, stealing something costs five thousand taels? It's too dark. Why don't we go rob it!"
"Since it's you, the price…can be discussed!”An Hun didn't know why he had retreated. Could it be that he wanted to repay her for saving his life a few days ago?
