Chapter 27 Imperfect Ending
Many officials turned their eyes over there.
"Where did this skinny guy come from in the government office?"
A pot-bellied official was puzzled.
"Yeah, he looks so weak, he must have done a lot of bad things, he must be a mean person."
Many officials commented on Li Yuan.
They have seen ordinary people with pale faces and thin bodies, officials who are fat and bloated, emperors who work hard to govern the country, and people like Zhao Siya who is full of vigor and vitality.
But they have never seen someone like Li Yuan...
Although he has fair skin, handsome features and exudes a faint aura of transcendence, he gives people a feeling of laziness and idleness.
And for some unknown reason, it gives people a feeling of being weak.
His temperament is somewhat contradictory. One can tell at a glance that he is not a government official.
However, that look that was obviously wise and profound made the officials believe it naturally.
It was this person who came up with the vicious plan.
Seeing that Li Yuan had attracted the attention of these officials, Zhao Wanjun couldn't help but become anxious.
"Why are you standing up?"
Li Yuan just smiled at her and did not answer the question.
"The thief has surrendered himself, and the mastermind is present."
Li Yuan's words were like a huge stone, easily breaking the strange ripples in the yamen.
Some officials' expressions changed drastically and they started talking to people around them through eye contact.
Li Yuan took in all the reactions of these people and had already locked on his target, but he did not directly tell Zhao Wanjun who was the mastermind behind the golden thief case.
The thief has to be interrogated personally by Zhao Wanjun.
He is a god, and he participated in this matter purely to fulfill his promise with the mountain god of Huanshan.
Li Yuan admires Zhao Wanjun's bravery and justice, but he will not stay here to help her forever.
Just now, Bald Liu came to the yamen with a thin man.
Seeing that Zhao Wanjun was busy confronting many officials and other yamen runners looked afraid to get involved, Li Yuan had no choice but to take the matter himself.
Comparing his perception of the night Zhao was robbed, Li Yuan was certain that this was the perverted thief himself.
The identity of the perverted thief has never been known to anyone. In fact, he has pretended to be an ordinary citizen and received the antidote.
However, he sadly discovered that there seemed to be more than one kind of poison in his body!
With all the helplessness, the thief could no longer hide.
He always went to the outside of the yamen to watch, but did not dare to get close to the crowd.
I took a sneak peek and left, feeling anxious, and inevitably came back...
Because of his obvious unusual movements and strange behavior, he was targeted by local tyrants like Bald Liu.
So the thief had no choice but to show up and say that he wanted to surrender himself.
If he confesses the information, there is still a glimmer of hope.
Jail is better than death from poisoning.
This skinny and perverted thief gave out the mastermind of the gold case. After all, he was the only person in charge, he was very skilled, and he knew a lot of information.
After Li Yuan learned the information, he ordered someone to lock up the thief.
As for detoxification?
This pervert stole the underwear of decent girls and did such dirty things.
He even arrogantly threw the soiled things into the yamen to demonstrate!
He has damaged the reputation of so many women. Anyway, he is using a slow-acting poison, so just scare him for a few days first!
This was a relatively conservative ancient time, and if a woman’s underwear was stolen, it would have a huge impact on her reputation!
After completing all the operations, Li Yuan rushed to the yamen.
And then, there were follow-up events.
Many officials looked at Li Yuan with cold eyes.
In their eyes, Li Yuan was already a dead man.
That flying thief must not be left alive.
The city magistrate in a high position sighed inwardly.
These two people are determined to bring down a few people and give these officials a deterrent!
Zhao Wanjun has always been brave and alone, but he is not afraid because he has Lord Zhao supporting him.
But where did this young and timid guy who appeared out of nowhere get the courage to face the officials?
Since he was involved in this matter, he should know that none of those sitting in high positions are good people!
Li Yuan didn't care at all.
He is a mountain god and will not die by mortal means.
Li Yuan pulled Zhao Wanjun aside and asked her to go and interrogate the thief directly to get the information.
Looking at Li Yuan's faint smile, for some reason, Zhao Wanjun had a feeling that he was about to leave.
"Are you leaving?" Zhao Wanjun looked reluctant.
Li Yuan looked weak and behaved lazily.
But after spending some time together, Zhao Wanjun realized that this person was not a bad person at heart.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "I am almost done now. I am going to collect the treasures."
Hearing this, Zhao Wanjun rolled his eyes and said, "When this matter is settled, I will bring you the Red Blood Jade!"
Li Yuan smiled and didn't reply.
The capital city was in an uproar on this day.
A second-rank official was imprisoned by the government and convicted of being the mastermind behind a gold theft.
The stolen gold was gradually recovered, and the government returned all of it to the victims without leaving a single piece.
Zhao Wanjun, a fourth-rank official, intimidated a group of corrupt officials and finally captured a second-rank official.
Some people say that she is courageous and unafraid of officialdom.
Some people say that she is fair and worthy of the name of the office.
But no one knew that Zhao Wanjun couldn't be happy.
If she were to handle this case, perhaps she would be able to complete it in the end, but it would be a clumsy method and would take a lot of time.
Moreover, it may not be so optimistic.
Using a "vicious plan" that no one had thought of, the corrupt officials who had colluded with each other were forced to temporarily bow their heads and acknowledge defeat, which was already a thrilling situation.
Zhao Wanjun knew very well that without Li Yuan's help, she would have to put a lot of energy into this case and might even suffer losses.
But, Li Yuan stepped forward to take responsibility for this hidden loss.
On the day when the second-rank official was arrested and thrown into prison, an imperial decree came from the palace in broad daylight, rewarding Zhao Siya with money, silk and brocade.
That night, Li Yuan was poisoned and murdered.
It was already late at night.
Li Yuan knocked on the door of Zhao's house, carrying a plate of meat slices.
Zhao Wanjun, with sleepy eyes, talked with Li Yuan under the 'vigilant' gaze of his parents.
She was furious when she learned that Li Yuan had been poisoned.
The case was not yet completely over, but Li Yuan had already been attacked by the other party!
"Are you all right?"
Zhao Wanjun said worriedly.
Li Yuan thought about it, picked up a piece of meat from the plate and put it into his mouth.
Zhao Wanjun was shocked: "Didn't you say it was poisonous?"
She didn't react in time and failed to stop Li Yuan from "committing suicide".
Li Yuan chewed a little and said, "Apart from the toxicity, this poison has a spicy taste when it is mixed with beef."
"Oh, by the way, you haven't discovered chili peppers yet."
Zhao Wanjun looked at Li Yuan and was simply astonished by his beauty. Then he became a little suspicious:
"Is this plate of meat not poisonous?"
As she spoke, she boldly reached out to pinch it.
"Hey hey hey." Li Yuan hurriedly stopped him. He didn't dare let Zhao Wanjun try.
He is a deity, and his body is essentially a ball of immortal energy. Before he became an immortal, his body was a piece of stubborn stone.
He is not afraid of human poisons, but Zhao Wanjun is a mortal and cannot try.
If you really try it, you will die.
Looking at Li Yuan's vigilant expression, Zhao Wanjun understood that this plate of meat was indeed poisonous.
"The methods of outsiders are indeed powerful."
She snorted softly, and a little girl's look appeared on her delicate and heroic face.
Li Yuan laughed loudly: "These mortal means can't hurt me. I came here to tell you."
"They have already attacked me. From now on, if I don't show up in Qian Country again, they will think I am dead."
"Then you can pretend to be angry and give them a beating."
"In this way, Qian Country should be able to have a period of peace and stability."
Zhao Wanjun's heart skipped a beat: "Are you... already planning to leave?"
Faced with such a hasty farewell, she felt a little reluctant.
But it has nothing to do with love between men and women.
Li Yuan was a peculiar man. He was lazy, disrespectful, and always talking nonsense, which made people dislike him.
But in many things, we can be trusted.
Moreover, Li Yuan's "special ability" made Zhao Wanjun feel that if he stayed in Qian State, it would be much easier for the Qian State government to catch thieves in the future.
Faced with Zhao Wanjun's reluctance, Li Yuan still smiled indifferently.
"I plan to travel the world, so I won't stay in one place for long."
"The fact that I solved the case has made all the corrupt officials in the capital of Qian Kingdom hate me."
"Rather than staying here and being annoyed by them, I might as well do you a favor and pretend to be poisoned and leave."
"You can use this opportunity to put pressure on them and ensure the stability of your capital for a longer period of time."
Zhao Wanjun sighed: "Then, will we ever meet again?"
"Next time you come, I will definitely not put you in jail again."
As she spoke, a mischievous smile blossomed in her bright eyes.
Hearing this, Li Yuan burst into laughter.
Zhao Wanjun turned around and went back to the mansion, and took out a bright red and translucent jade.
Red blood jade is hard to find in the world.
Li Yuan took a look and accepted it calmly.
"If you don't want to stay in the capital of Qian Kingdom anymore, you can go to Anshan."
"The world is a long way from here. See you again when we are destined."
Li Yuan smiled, turned around and walked out of the city, and really left.
Zhao Wanjun sighed deeply again.
The protagonists in the storybooks all met in the world of martial arts, experienced dangers together, worked together, and finally created a legend.
It’s a pity that Zhao Wanjun is not the protagonist, so she cannot keep that special person and cannot write a perfect ending.
The world is so big, and some people, once you turn around, may never meet you again in this life.
There were sobbing sounds coming from the Zhao Mansion, which were the sounds of Zhao Tianya's heartache.
"My precious jade, my jade..."
"Ah, Jade, how can I live without you!"
Huang Shuya patted her husband's back to comfort him.
No matter how sad you are, you have to accept the things your precious daughter has promised to give away.
Zhao Wanjun watched Li Yuan leave, but his eyes became more determined.
Without Li Yuan's help in the future, she will need to work harder to deal with those sinister people behind the scenes and to maintain stability in the area.
However, can this extraordinary woman, who is so righteous that she is somewhat 'naive', really win in the end?
When Li Yuan left, the smile on his face had already faded.
He looked around the capital city, and wherever his spiritual sense passed, he found that most of the officials were corrupt.
He will not interfere too much in the fate of mortals.
I just hope that the words that hinted at Anshan can become Zhao Wanjun's way out in the future.
