A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Chapter 287 Absolute Suppression

The principle of "suspecting someone of stealing an axe" applies at all times.

Once doubts arise, one will subconsciously try to rationalize some far-fetched reasons.

Jiang Xinyu saw that Yu Sheng seemed to have taken it to heart and continued his efforts, not only insisting that Mr. Bai was the one who assassinated Yu Hui, but also listing irrefutable reasons.

Mr. Bai wanted to kill Yu Hui and frame the court to force Yu Sheng to rebel.

This idea coincided with Yu Sheng's own thoughts, and Yu Hui took the opportunity to cry and say that it must be so.

Otherwise, why would someone bother to assassinate a sheltered young woman like her who rarely leaves her home?

Even if it were the imperial court that came to the general's mansion to kill people, the first target should be the general's father, who held a great military power.

Even if there are many capable people around the father and it is difficult to make a move, there is still the eldest brother as the heir and the eldest nephew as the eldest son and grandson, right?

Kill her, a girl...

It seems that it's only good for provoking the father to rebel.

"How is it useless? The Yu family has two sons and one daughter, only the eldest daughter is still unmarried. If you were to marry into a family of a high-ranking official, wouldn't that strengthen the Yu family's power?"

Seeing that Yu Sheng seemed to be persuaded, Dong Yan also became anxious.

"The court's lackeys assassinated the young lady in an attempt to cut off the general's chance of marrying into another power."

That... makes sense.

For a moment, Yu Sheng had no way of knowing who was telling the truth and who was lying.

Then let's just arrest them all.

Just as Yu Sheng was about to have Jiang Xinyu and Dong Yan taken to two separate dungeons, a loud clanging of metal broke out outside.

Another group of people broke in.

Yu Sheng was so angry he almost laughed. Did they really think his General's Mansion was a pushover? He wanted to see who dared to mess with him.

The sounds outside grew closer and closer, and soon the two sides were locked in a standoff. Jiang Xinyu looked at Xiao Die and Xiao Yuan, who had changed his appearance, and sighed inwardly.

She originally intended to handle it herself, but her attempt to show off backfired.

At this moment, Jiang Xinyu and Dong Yan were both being held down by the guards. They were both capable of resisting, but they both chose to surrender.

They both felt that if they resisted, they would be confirming the other's statement.

But when Xiao Yuan saw his wife being held down, her eyes turned red, and he forgot all about the grand plans of the court.

For him, his wife's safety was more important than anything else, completely forgetting that his wife's kung fu was unpredictable and beyond belief.

reason?

common sense?

No, heaven knows how anxious he was when he saw Xiaodie's signal.

Fortunately, his subordinates reminded him to capture the hostages first, so they are not in a too passive position now.

Yu Sheng never expected that Red Scorpion and Snake Woman would be so useless that they couldn't even protect his two sons.

Dong Yan felt a surge of satisfaction as he watched the group of people opposite him take the eldest and second young masters of the Yu family hostage.

No matter what, the Yu family has already gone against the imperial court. What can they do if they refuse to rebel?

In this situation, does it still matter whether you oppose it or not?

They either surrender completely and are slaughtered, or they fight to the death and are branded as traitors.

With the military strength of Bashu, it was impossible for them to overthrow the Jin dynasty; they could at least die a more heroic death.

Haha, either way, it's death, a death so severe that there's no chance of ever recovering.

Just as Xiao Yuan and Yu Sheng were locked in a standoff, neither speaking first, Jiang Xinyu suddenly asked a question.

"What are you thinking about, Mr. Bai? Why are you laughing so happily? Did you see your own father come to rescue you?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Sheng subconsciously looked at Dong Yan, whose smile had not yet faded.

General Yu's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Mr. Dong has been bribed by the imperial court?

He said it was unbelievable that the female guard came from the capital, but wasn't Mr. Dong also from the capital?

No one in the Second Prince's mansion, not even the youngest children, escaped. So how did Mr. Dong manage to travel thousands of miles to Sichuan?

Why didn't the court focus its efforts on arresting him, given that he was the second prince's most trusted advisor?

Many things are like a veil, and once you start to doubt them, you'll find a lot of inconsistencies.

Now that the important matter has not yet been accomplished, Dong Yan naturally cannot admit it, and hurriedly reminds Yu Sheng that important matters are more important.

He could swear that the person on the other end had absolutely no connection to him.

Yu Sheng thought about it and agreed. Regardless of whether Dong Yan or the female guard was the spy, they had both been captured.

The current priority is how to rescue his two sons.

Since the other party didn't immediately kill, there's still room for negotiation. Whether they're wary of something or want to exchange their hostages, we can discuss it all afterward.

Jiang Xinyu's reminder and Dong Yan's explanation immediately led Xiao Yuan to misunderstand, and he took the opportunity to say that Yu Sheng's second son had replaced Mr. Bai.

As for the eldest son, he will be released as soon as they successfully leave Sichuan.

Jiang Xinyu covered her face.

Xiao Yuan used to be quite shrewd, so why is he acting so strangely now?

Did she think that by replacing Mr. Bai, she could clear her name and get away with it?

Damn, don't you know there's a saying, "Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free"?

Besides, wouldn't it be a waste of time to escape with someone? She had already made arrangements with Yu Hui.

And did this guy forget about her fighting ability? When she could easily overpower everyone, she didn't need to be so roundabout.

She went to all this trouble to infiltrate the area because she wasn't sure whether Yu Sheng should be killed or not.

Otherwise, with her abilities, the General's Mansion could be easily taken care of, right?

Thinking of this, Jiang Xinyu stopped pretending and flung the two female guards who were restraining her aside.

"Can we all please stop being so tense? We can talk things over."

As she spoke, she moved nimbly and had already circled around Yu Sheng once.

The guards around Yu Sheng felt a numbness in their wrists, and when they came to their senses, their hands were empty.

Jiang Xinyu threw the stolen knives on the ground, and the clattering sound startled Yu Sheng, causing his pupils to shrink.

That was too fast. If it were an assassination attempt, he would have been dead just now.

In the face of absolute power, conspiracies and tricks become a joke.

Knowing that the female guard had the ability to kill him instantly, Yu Sheng wisely ordered his guards to make way.

Xiao Yuan was caught off guard by his wife's unpredictable behavior.

There was no script beforehand, so how should we act now?

Jiang Xinyu chuckled. "Xiao Die and Liu Zi, you two keep this old man surnamed Bai under control."

Tie it up securely first; I have something to ask him later.

Husband, please release the two young masters of the Yu family. Let's go inside and talk things over.

General Yu, you should also tell your men that if a real fight breaks out, you will be the ones who suffer.

"Don't worry, I mean no harm. Otherwise, I could kill you at least six times over in the blink of an eye."

It really hurt my pride, but the other person didn't seem to be bragging.

Yu Sheng dared not be presumptuous. Under Jiang Xinyu's threatening gaze, he nodded and instructed the late-arriving Red Scorpion and Snake Woman not to make any rash moves.

All outsiders were kept outside, except for Jiang Xinyu and Xiao Yuan, and the rest were Yu Sheng and his two sons and one daughter.

General Yu originally wanted Yu Hui to leave first, thinking that if they couldn't reach an agreement, it would be better to have one escape.

But Yu Hui shook her head.

She understood that Jiang Xinyu wanted to lay her cards on the table, and as a key figure in the cooperation, she had to be there.

Actually, Yu Hui was still very uneasy at this point, afraid that Jiang Xinyu was lying to her.

If she weren't the wife of the Marquis of Zhenguo, then their cooperation wouldn't be guaranteed.

But at this point, it's all the same whether you stick your neck out or not.

She hadn't expected Jiang Xinyu's kung fu to be so good that it was beyond human comprehension, leaving the Yu family with no bargaining power.

It seems that time travel has its advantages, but my good luck was all used up when I was a man who transmigrated into a woman.

Ah, I hope my fellow villager will at least remember our past ties.

She doesn't want to die!

She was afraid that if she died, she wouldn't have a second chance!

She was afraid that if she died, she wouldn't be able to be a girl in her next life!

She'd rather have her period every month than have that extra thing growing.
