Chapter 468 Discovered②
Jiang Yuli did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he waved his hand gently at her and said, "Second sister, please come over and sit down. I have something important to tell you."
After hearing this, Jiang Yaqi couldn't help feeling confused and bewildered.
However, out of trust in her brother and driven by curiosity, she slowly walked towards Jiang Yuli.
When she got closer, Jiang Yaqi asked softly, "What happened?"
At this moment, Jiang Yuli took a deep breath and looked at his sister with firm eyes.
Then, he said solemnly: "Second sister, as far as I know, you brought back a strange man from outside yesterday and temporarily settled him in the dilapidated woodshed in our backyard?"
After hearing what he said, Jiang Yaqi was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.
When Jiang Yuli discovered her, she didn't show the slightest fear.
Because the coveted jade pendant was now in her hands, which made her feel confident.
If Jiang Yuli insisted on not letting the man stay, then she could have kicked him out without hesitation.
However, it turned out that she was completely overthinking.
Jiang Yuli did not ask her to drive anyone away. Instead, he told her a very serious matter with a serious face.
After hearing what he said, Jiang Yaqi's heart tightened for a moment, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, as if an invisible pressure was enveloping her, making her secretly sweat for herself involuntarily.
"Then...then what should I do now? Should I kick him out immediately?"
Jiang Yaqi looked frightened and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.
After all, she had just experienced the decline of her family, and now her life had finally improved a little. She really didn't want to bring disaster upon herself because of anything else.
"Don't be so impulsive. In the next two days, you must not provoke him. Just deliver his medicine and meals on time as usual."
"I have already reached an agreement with him, requiring him to leave this place as soon as possible in two days." The other person replied calmly.
Hearing this, Jiang Yaqi breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a little uneasy: "Okay, Second Sister will follow your arrangements in everything."
In fact, she was secretly glad that she had already sold the jade pendant that the man carried with him for a full one thousand taels of silver.
With this money, as long as she saves a little on her expenses, it will be enough to support her to live a stable life for a long time.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yaqi couldn't help but feel that fate seemed to be beginning to favor her.
This night was extremely long for Jiang Yaqi. After she heard what Jiang Yuli said, her heart felt like a raging storm and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Her thoughts surged like a tide, making her toss and turn in bed, unable to fall asleep.
The next day, when the sky just turned light, Jiang Yaqi couldn't wait to get up and start packing her luggage. She had only one thought in her mind - to escape from this place as soon as possible!
She hurriedly stuffed some necessary items into the package, her eyes revealing tension and fear.
Every piece of clothing and every penny carries a glimmer of hope for her future life.
Unfortunately, although Jiang Yaqi acted as quickly as possible, she was still a little late.
In the early morning, when she carefully opened the door and stepped out of the house, the scene before her made her stand still for a moment.
Not far away, they saw two teams of government officials in official uniforms standing there in awe. They were on high alert, as if they had been waiting for a long time, and surrounded the house where the brother and sister lived.
The leader among them was Feng Wuhen. His cold gaze cut through the air like a sharp blade, piercing straight at Jiang Yaqi, making her shiver.
"Did you rescue a man two days ago?"
"Where is that man now?"
Feng Wuhen's eyes swept across Jiang Yaqi as quickly as a knife, and when he spoke, his words revealed a chilling coldness.
Jiang Yaqi felt as if she was instantly trapped in a world of ice and snow, and was frightened by the extremely cold aura emanating from Feng Wuhen, causing her entire body to tremble.
Her face turned as pale as paper and her lips trembled involuntarily. She wanted to answer but seemed unable to make a sound because of fear.
Finally, after a difficult struggle, Jiang Yaqi said in an almost inaudible voice: "He...he is in my backyard, in the woodshed."
After saying this, she seemed to have used up all her strength and leaned against the wall in exhaustion.
Wuuwuwu... She was doomed this time! The man she rescued turned out to be a wanted criminal with a bounty on his head!
In order to bring him to justice, even the dreaded Evil King had to take action himself!
Speaking of this evil king, who could know him better than Jiang Yaqi?
He is a cold-blooded, ruthless and impartial man. No matter who he is facing or what he is dealing with, he always looks cold and merciless.
Anyone who dares to offend him will surely be met with extremely cruel and brutal means!
Just when Feng Wuhen sent someone to the woodshed in the backyard, Jiang Yuli came back from outside.
When Jiang Yaqi saw him coming back from outside, she thought that he was the one who called Xie Wang and the others over.
His expression immediately turned gloomy, and anger suddenly rose in his heart.
Jiang Yuli naturally noticed the change in her expression, but he chose to ignore it.
After all, he was extremely upset at the moment. He had originally planned to go to the Evil King's Mansion to look for his elder sister and the Evil King, but in the end he came back empty-handed.
What was even more unexpected to him was that the Evil King actually arrived at his house first.
Thinking of the man in the woodshed in the backyard, Jiang Yuli couldn't help but frown.
At that time, he had already expected that the government officials would come to his door sooner or later, and all this was because his greedy second sister sold the man's jade pendant.
When he heard his second sister say that the jade pendant was a top-grade item, Jiang Yuli understood instantly - the jade pendant on the man was undoubtedly an important symbol of his identity and status.
Then, a thought flashed through his mind: Anyone who can own such an exquisite jade pendant is definitely not an ordinary person. He must be a big shot with high power and great reputation.
The situation in the imperial city is rather chaotic now, so he has to be careful.
Based on this judgment, early this morning, before dawn, Jiang Yuli hurried to the Evil King's Mansion, wanting to meet his elder sister or the Evil King.
