Like the technique in the movie, Luo Tai ignited the attic with a fire, turning Shutong into a burnt corpse that no one could recognize. {23][wx} and then took Wei Zhongxian's close-fitting jade pendant and took Jin Guzi away. He also used his superb disguise method to put on makeup on Wei Zhongxian and let him follow his Jinyi Guwei team to mingle into the capital.

Wei Zhongxian's "death" naturally made his subordinates no longer resist. So the three brothers completed the task smoothly and returned to the capital overnight.

After returning to the capital, Luo Tai first hid Jin Guzi, and then arranged Wei Zhongxian in an inn. The next day, he and his two brothers returned to the Fufu Division with their scorched corpses to report.

This matter is of great importance. The emperor ordered the new chief assistant Han Kuang and Zhao Jingzhong to go to the tutoring office to carefully investigate the body. Han Kuang looked at the scorched corpse in the coffin, stroked his beard and said to the three brothers: "How did Wei Zhongxian die?"

Lu Jianxing, who was standing in front, replied calmly: "Die by **."

"**? Humph~" Han Kuang shook his head undeniably and said, "Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes." Lu Jianxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

Han Kuang stared at Lu Jianxing and said, "Just find a scorched corpse and come to coax me? Do you treat me as a fool?"

Lu Jianxing immediately knelt on the ground, and Luo Tai and Yichuan also knelt down halfway with him. "The young man has ten heads and dare not take this matter for the end of the period. This burnt corpse is indeed Wei Zhongxian."

"Master Han." Zhao Jingzhong, who was standing beside him, walked up, touched the scorched corpse, and said, "You suspect that this is not Wei Zhongxian. But we have no evidence to prove that this is not Wei Zhongxian. How dare they deceive the emperor in this matter? The three of them have innocent wealth. They are definitely not Wei Zhongxian, so how could they lose their lives in order to let Wei Zhongxian go? I think the overall situation of this matter has been decided. We can reply to the emperor that Wei Zhongxian is dead."

"What Eunuch Zhao said is very true." Lu Jianxing said with his fists.

With Zhao Jingzhong coming forward to rescue the siege, Han Kuang couldn't say anything else. Although there were many doubts about this matter, he also believed that the three Jinyiwei flag heads could not risk beheading for Wei Zhongxian.

He handed the jade pendant to Zhao Jingzhong, and then said, "Then please let my father-in-law report to the emperor." After he finished speaking, he shook his official robe and left the peace department.

Shortly after Han Kuang left, Zhao Jingzhong also got up the sedan chair and returned to the house. Before leaving, he looked at the three of them and said, "Wei Zhongxian is really dead?"

"Of course." Lu Jianxing replied.

"Hmph." Zhao Jingzhong sneered and said, "Is it really **? You know more than me." After saying this meaningful sentence, he left.

Lu Jianxing looked at Luo Tai, the only Luo Tai who had contacted Wei Zhongxian at that time. Luo Tai had not yet told the truth to the two brothers. Of course he would say it, but it was not the time yet.

"Brother." After seeing Zhao Jingzhong leave, Yichuan smiled and said to Lu Jianxing: "This time we have done such a big difference. The matter of your promotion to a hundred households should be a matter of nailing down the board."

Lu Jianxing smiled awkwardly. However, at this moment, he always had a slight premonition of anxiety in his heart.

During the lunch break, Luo Tai changed into casual clothes and came to Jiaofang Si Nuanchun Pavilion to look for Zhou Miaotong. Shortly after seeing Zhou Miaotong, Luo Tai said, "I want to redeem you, are you willing to go with me?"

Zhou Miaotong sat on the bed, smiled sadly, and then said, "You have asked me this many times. I am a weak woman and don't want to assume it. Let's talk about it when you really redeem me."

Zhou Miaotong knew that if she wanted to redeem her, it would be impossible to have two thousand taels. For Luo Tai, who had an annual salary of twenty taels, it was undoubtedly an astronomical number.

"You may still not be able to let go of Mr. Yan in your heart." Luo Tai said while sitting on the chair.

"Yes!" Zhou Miaotong looked up and said, "I can't let him go."

"If he really likes you, he should redeem you." Luo Tai stood up and walked to the bed and said.

Zhou Miaotong didn't say anything, she turned her head aside and did not face Luo Tai's eyes.

"Hmph." Luo Tai paced back and forth and said, "I know what's going on. Although his family is rich and his father is a high-ranking official in the court, his family will never allow him to redeem a song of the Jiaofangsi, and will also take him back to be his wife. Mr. Yan is poetic and picturesque, but without the help of the family, how can he redeem your money?"

"Enough." Zhou Miaotong looked up and said, "Whether he redeems me or not, he doesn't care about your business."

"Oh." Luo Tai sighed and said, "Do you really don't understand or pretend not to understand? Then Mr. Yan would not do this even if he had the money to redeem you."

"Hmph, don't guess others by yourself." Zhou Miaotong defended.

"I'm guessing it?" Luo Tai shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm doing well-founded analysis. Mr. Yan was born in a family of officials and had a very strict family education. Under the influence of this environment, even if he likes you, he will never be able to get rid of the resistance and constraints from the family. Let him give up all this and take you to elope? Humph, he would have done it long ago."

After hearing this, Zhou Miaotong said, "What about you? Do you dare? Are you willing to give up your identity as an Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

"Dare!" Luo Tai said firmly.

Zhou Miaotong looked at Luo Tai with some surprise, then shook her head and said, "You don't really plan to take me out of the Jiaofangsi directly? If you don't redeem yourself, I will be arrested wherever you go. If you take me away, the Jinyiwei will not be able to do it. Are you going to die in the world?"

"Hmph, even if I am willing to die in the world, then you must consider your future happiness. I don't want you to live in a place with me." Luo Tai said.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Miaotong asked.

"I already have the money to redeem you," said Luo Tai.

"Take it seriously?" Zhou Miaotong was a little disbelieved.

"Take it seriously." Luo Tai nodded affirmatively.

Zhou Miaotong sat silently beside the bed, not speaking for a long time. Hesitation and confusion appeared in her eyes. Luo Tai could see that Zhou Miaotong was trapped in a contradiction. On the one hand, she wanted to leave here. On the other hand, she had not really fallen in love with herself at this moment, and she couldn't let go of Mr. Yan in her heart.

However, if you say that Zhou Miaotong has no feelings for Shen Lian (Luo Tai), that is a big deal. Her relationship with Luo Tai is very complicated, ruthless, fearful, relying on, and love.

Luo Tai knew that to make the love in her heart dominate, it was not enough to just redeem her. She also had to give up her previous prejudice against herself and forget Mr. Yan.

But no matter what, he didn't want Zhou Miaotong to stay in this place for one more day. Because staying here for one more day will lead to one more day of humiliation.

"Miaotong, don't think too much. I will redeem you today. After redeeming you, are you willing to follow me or go somewhere else, and you will choose it yourself." Luo Tai said.

Zhou Miaotong looked at Luo Tai in disbelief. She seemed to be unable to understand Luo Tai. Just when she was surprised, Luo Tai turned around and went out and came to the place where the madam Nuanchun Pavilion was. The madam was in her fifties. When she knew that Luo Tai was going to redeem Zhou Miaotong, she shook her head vigorously.

"I have money. How much do you say?" Luo Tai asked.

"Oh, I said, Lord Shen, this is not a problem of money." The madam shook her head and said, "Zhou Miaotong's father was punished by the court for death. His daughter was sent here, but the court's laws. You don't know this."

Luo Tai looked at the madam and said, "I know this, but she has been here for so long, and the punishment she deserves is also given. His father is kind to me, so I must let him leave here. Needless to say, how much money is needed, and then give me the contract to sell my body."

"Okay, don't make things difficult for me. This requires the consent of Lord Liu of the Jiaofangsi." said the madam.

Luo Tai nodded and said, "Then I will give you half the money first. Don't let her meet guests in the next two days. I'll go find Lord Liu."

The madam thought for a while and said, "It takes two thousand taels to redeem Miaotong, you give half of it first, one thousand taels."

"Okay!" Luo Tai took out two silver notes of five hundred taels from his arms and handed them to the madam.

After verifying the silver note, the madam smiled. She didn't expect that there would be so much money for a small flag like Luo Tai, but this was not something she cared about. She said the silver note: "Thank you, Lord Shen, don't worry, I promise not to let Miaotong meet guests."

Luo Tai said: "Also, you'd better keep your promise. Treat Miaotong well these two days, otherwise... you understand."
