He hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss Luo, do you want to go and see them in person?" He asked this rather obscurely, and in his heart he had some doubts about his guess. In fact, what he wanted to ask was: Miss Luo, is she planning to go and question them in person?
Luo Shuiyao didn't intend to explain to Ye Yi. She just nodded, then looked at Ye Yunzhou and asked, "How does General Zuo Wei compare to you?"
Her question was illogical, but Ye Yunzhou understood her meaning. She was comparing his official rank with General Zuo Wei's, trying to determine if he could afford to offend him. In the past, General Zuo Wei's influence might have seemed greater than his, but now... Thinking of this, Ye Yunzhou said, "You're just a bunch of maggots. Do whatever you want."
Luo Shuiyao looked at him deeply.
This General Zuo Wei might have been a marginal figure in the original novel, never appearing, or perhaps he had appeared but I hadn't noticed. But hearing his title, I knew he was more than just a name. However, since Ye Yunzhou called him a maggot, he probably wasn't afraid of offending him.
In this case, Luo Shuiyao's eyes instantly turned cold, and she said, "Then let's go to the backyard and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi looked at Ye Yunzhou again. As Ye Yunzhou's confidant, while he wasn't completely clear on General Zuo Wei's affairs, he knew a good deal. After all, he had sometimes been guarding those men's residences, but General Zuo Wei's residence hadn't fallen yet, and it wasn't a desperate situation. His Majesty had to give them some face. Now, allowing Luo Shuiyao to use Ye Yunzhou's influence to completely offend General Zuo Wei's residence was a matter of debate.
Ye Yunzhou didn't care about his worries at all. He just nodded slightly and motioned him to lead the way.
Seeing his supervisor agree, Ye Yi, though still hesitant, stepped forward and said, "Miss Luo, please come this way." While the courtyard was richly decorated, it wasn't very large. Soon, they arrived at the backyard. Ye Yi walked over and opened the door. Inside, Lin Juncai, Anye, and the others were bound and tied up. Anye and the three, four, and five others had only been knocked unconscious and were now awake, but Ye Yi had preemptively manipulated them, leaving them sprawled on the ground. Lin Juncai, on the other hand, looked utterly disheveled, his former elegant demeanor gone.
Hearing footsteps, Anye quickly glanced toward the door, feeling incredibly nervous. Seeing that the person walking in front was Luo Shuiyao, he quickly said, "Miss, we are from the Left Guard General's residence. My young master was momentarily confused and offended you, and we hope you will show some mercy and let us go. I will certainly speak well of you to our general and present you with a generous gift."
The others looked at her hopefully, nodding repeatedly. A sneer curled up Luo Shuiyao's lips. These people acted so meticulously, their plans so tightly linked, they'd surely committed countless such evil deeds. Their resilience after suffering a loss today only made her even more determined not to let them off so easily. If she easily forgave them this time, who knew how many more innocent people would fall into their carefully laid traps and suffer undeserved disasters in the future. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she decided she had to use this incident to teach these evildoers a lesson, and to make the Left Guard General's Mansion understand that not everyone could be manipulated and bullied at will.
So she stopped looking at them, bent down, pinched Lin Juncai's cheeks, forced him to open his mouth, and poured the pill in.
Ye Yunzhou frowned as he watched Luo Shuiyao feed the last pill to the person on the ground. But then he realized that Luo Shuiyao herself knew medicine, and if anything went wrong, he could always ask Elder Wang for another dose. With this in mind, he resisted the urge to stop Luo Shuiyao.
Luo Shuiyao saw him take the medicine and immediately loosened her grip. She took the handkerchief Chuntao handed over and wiped her hands carefully, as if she had just touched something dirty. She completely ignored the screams of An Ye and others and said coldly, "Go get a bucket of cold water."
Ye Yi was a little puzzled when he heard this, but since his own supervisor was here, he naturally wouldn't interfere. This place was not far from where the water could be drawn, so he turned around and walked quickly, and soon returned with a bucket of cold water.
Seeing him coming back, Luo Shuiyao pointed at the unconscious Lin Juncai lying on the ground and said, "Throw it away."
Ye Yi was just looking for fun, and since he had his own supervisor backing him up, he naturally had nothing to fear. He was also curious about how Miss Luo would handle this, so upon hearing this, he poured a bucket of cold water over Lin Juncai's head without hesitation.
Lin Juncai was startled by the sudden bucket of water, and he subconsciously flinched. As the cold water soaked his clothes, his eyes became confused and he slowly woke up from his coma.
Luo Shuiyao didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
After a while, Lin Juncai gradually regained consciousness. He immediately saw Luo Shuiyao standing in the front. Thinking of his previous experiences, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he cursed: "You bitch, a mere lowly person dared to hurt me! When I get back, I will tell my father that I will throw you into the military camp and let you be trampled by thousands of people!"
Behind Luo Shuiyao, Ye Yunzhou heard Lin Juncai's outrageous words, and his eyes instantly became extremely cold. He stared at Lin Juncai who was squirming on the ground and cursing, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Ye Yi shrank his neck, looked at the ignorant guy on the ground with pity, and sighed: He is so brave, he dares to be so arrogant even at this point, I don't know if he is really confident or he is just ignorant and fearless.
Seeing him in such a state of disarray, yet still unable to grasp the situation, yet still daring to shout so arrogantly, Luo Shuiyao couldn't help but sneer and said, "Really? I'll have to wait and see how capable your so-called father is! Since you dared to attack me today, you must be prepared to pay the price. Do you really think that this Zhou Dynasty belongs to your General Zuo Wei?"
"Stop trying to sow discord here! My Left Guard General's Mansion is loyal to the Zhou Dynasty and His Majesty, and I have no second thoughts." Although Lin Juncai was a playboy, he knew that words can cause trouble. If this were to be spread by someone with ulterior motives, it would be a disaster for the Left Guard General's Mansion, so he would not accept it.
Luo Shuiyao was also quite surprised to see that he wasn't hopelessly stupid. But she hadn't intended to gain the upper hand through words. If this man was truly arrogant, she would accept his words. She believed that with Ye Yunzhou's ability, he would not let these words spread in vain. If these words could reach His Majesty, it would naturally make him wary of the Left Guard General's Mansion. Even if they failed to achieve their goal, it would not be a loss for her.
But it was already late, and she needed to conserve her energy. She had to perform acupuncture treatment on Emperor Yuanzhen that evening, so she didn't want to waste time here. So, she ignored Lin Juncai's shouting and cursed, her eyes scanning the area before landing on the hilt of the sword at Anye's waist.
