Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 422: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 18

*

Yun Wu was feeling very depressed right now. She was wearing the plainest clothes she had found in the closet, and underneath her outer robe was a thick account book that she had just stolen from the study.

In her mind, the words "good mermaid" and "bad mermaid" kept jumping back and forth.

But thinking of the little boy from the same mermaid tribe who was still held captive by Lord Tang, Yun Wu still wanted to take the account book to Lord Tang.

She walked stealthily in the huge backyard of the palace, with Lu Jingzhi and Du Zhong following closely behind her.

Perhaps because she had done something terribly wrong, Yun Wu walked extremely carefully, stopping from time to time to check if there was anyone around.

Two servants holding lanterns passed by, and Yun Wu panicked and hid behind a rockery as if her hair had exploded.

Lu Jingzhi and Du Zhong, who were hiding behind the stone steps at the back, saw it clearly.

Only after the two passing servants walked away did Yun Wu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She drooped her head and squatted in the corner of the rockery, sighing. She took out the account book in her arms, closed her eyes and muttered:

"I'm sorry, young marquis. I can't help it. I just stole an account book and nothing else. I'm sorry, sorry..."

Lu Jingzhi heard all her mutterings from behind, and in the dark night, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.

Then, the delicate little mermaid stood up solemnly and stuffed the account book into her sleeve with great effort.

Then he sneaked towards the back door.

In the dark alley outside the back door, a carriage sent by Lord Tang was already waiting for Yun Wu. Yun Wu quickly got on the carriage and asked the coachman to go to the county magistrate's mansion through the dark alley immediately.

They didn't notice at all that there were several of Lu Jingzhi's men following them in the dark.

The main hall of the county magistrate's mansion was brightly lit. Lord Tang was waiting anxiously, and the servants beside him did not dare to move, for fear of bringing bad luck to Lord Tang.

Because the evidence of corruption and abuse of power was in the account book and fell into Lu Jingzhi's hands, Lord Tang felt like his throat was being strangled.

He was worried, so he quickly sent a message to Yun Wu in the palace, asking her to steal the account book.

When Lord Tang saw Yun Wu come in, the anxious expression on his face eased a lot.

"finally come!"

Lord Tang was fat and big-eared. When he looked at Yun Wu's beautiful face, his eyes flashed with surprise and a greedy look.

Yun Wu stood a few steps away from him, then threw the account book in her sleeve at him.

"This, this is an account book..."

"Oh my! This is really a piece of cake. It seems that it was the right decision for me to give you to Lu Jingzhi!"

Lord Tang's smile became increasingly obscene, and he held the account book as if he were holding gold and silver treasures.

Perhaps it was because Yun Wu shared a bed with Lu Jingzhi every day and had seen his handsome face too much, so she now disliked Lord Tang more and more.

"I have already stolen the account book you requested. Where are my people?"

Her voice was originally weak, but now it sounded much more firm as she mustered up the courage. Her almond-shaped eyes looked at Lord Tang warily.

Mr. Tang was busy with the account book and had no time to deal with Yun Wu. He waved his hand and said:

"She's in the room at the farthest corner. She's been well served these past few days. Besides, I'm not someone who goes back on my word. Someone, take her over!"

Yun Wu glanced at Lord Tang with half-belief and half-doubt, then hurriedly left the main hall.

Lord Tang couldn't let go of the thick account book, and his heart finally settled down.

The lackey beside him stepped forward and asked:

"Sir, are you really going to let those two mermaids go?"

Upon hearing this, Lord Tang glanced at him while holding the account book, a smile appeared on his greasy face, and then he said:

"Men can go, but women... humph."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"There are servants outside the room, not letting her leave easily. Now that I have the account book, Lu Jingzhi has no evidence to arrest me, so I will naturally get the beauty!"

A determined smile appeared on Lord Tang's sly face, and he turned to the lackey and said:

"I heard that mermaid tears can turn into pearls. If that's true, I'll keep the male mermaid. He'll give me pearls all the time, so I can use them to bribe the higher-ups."

"Your Excellency is extremely smart, wise and powerful!"

The servant fawned on Lord Tang, and Lord Tang was in a very good mood. He opened the account book to take a look.

It doesn't matter if you don't read it, but once you do, you'll be shocked. There are only a few pages with random accounts, and the rest are all blank.

"This, this, this, sir, this is fake!"

The servant said in a panic, Lord Tang staggered and took two steps back.

He clenched his teeth and looked angry and panicky. Just when he was about to call for help, he suddenly heard a noisy sound of footsteps.

Soon, a group of guards rushed in from outside and surrounded the entire hall without any explanation.

"Lord Tang is so majestic, so smart, so wise and so brave..."

A clear and unhurried voice sounded, and Lu Jingzhi walked out from behind a group of guards, his face looking stern in his black riding uniform.

Lord Tang and the servant had already begun to shiver and could not help but shudder.

"My Lord, did you do this on purpose?"

Lord Tang asked. Lu Jingzhi's eyes were dark and cold. He raised his chin slightly and looked at Lord Tang indifferently.

"Now that the evidence of corruption and abuse of power is irrefutable, does Lord Tang have anything else to say?"

"My Lord, please spare me! My Lord, please spare me!"

Lord Tang fell to his knees on the ground as if his legs were weak, begging for mercy with tears and snot, saying that he had elderly parents and young children to take care of.

Lu Jingzhi's expression remained unchanged. He glanced around the hall but did not see the delicate figure.

Then he drew the sword from his waist and placed it on Lord Tang's neck, saying coldly:

"Where's my wife?"

Du Zhong, who was waiting beside Lu Jingzhi, coughed twice and looked at Lu Jingzhi blankly.

This, this, this, when did Miss Yun become a lady again?

It was dark at night, and Lord Tang walked in front fearfully to lead Lu Jingzhi.

"Ms. Yun, Miss Yun's people are in the wing room. She went to rescue them just now. I asked the servants to watch the door. She is in the wing room now."

Lu Jingzhi silently asked Lord Tang to lead the way. However, when he arrived at the door of the wing room in the backyard, he found that the door of the wing room was wide open, and the water coffin inside was empty without a mermaid.

The servant at the door had a wooden barrel on his head and was knocked unconscious by someone hitting him with the barrel.

Lord Tang panicked when he saw this, and staggered to his knees in front of Lu Jingzhi.

"Young Master, the mermaid ran away!"
