Chapter 210 How could that be? We are the most honest and law-abiding people.
Wang Xinghan trembled with fear. He thought to himself, "Where did Lu Yuan go to marry this bandit woman? She's even willing to kill someone."
Without daring to delay, he quickly confessed, "Yes, I heard you had a fight with Sister Shanshan, and I wanted to teach you a lesson, so... so..."
Qiao Manman didn't believe that he would do something so crazy just because of a few words.
They wanted Lu Yuan to resort to other methods, but it was late at night, and if they disturbed the neighbors, it would be difficult to clean up the mess.
He grumbled as he redeemed a Truth-Revealing Talisman from the system shop: "You got a real bargain!"
The talisman entered his body, and Wang Xinghan's eyes changed; he obediently confessed his motive for the crime.
He said that although his brother Wang Xingwen grew up with Lu Yuan, he was very jealous of his family background and abilities.
Although the Wang family was not bad, with many branches and descendants, the resources that could fall to the two brothers were extremely limited.
Moreover, I heard that when he was young, Old Master Lu killed several bandits and seized a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
Don't talk about being hardworking and frugal, or that being poor is glorious. Those who have experienced hardship know the importance of money.
However, the Lu family has kept it well hidden; it has always been just a rumor. No one knows how much wealth Lu Qihua has or where he hides it.
Until yesterday, the Wang family received a phone call. They said they had arranged for someone to find fault with the Lu family and asked them to help fabricate some evidence.
Remembering the embarrassment Qiao Manman had caused him, Old Master Wang immediately agreed. After discussion, Wang Xinghan was tasked with hiding the pre-prepared letter of treason in the Lu family study.
Then the committee will step in and bring the person down.
"Who called your house? And besides you, who else did this?"
"I don't know. The old man answered the phone, and he arranged the task. I only got this job because I usually tease cats and dogs."
"Do you know the Zhang family? Which branch of the family did they bring today?"
Wang Xinghan retorted, "What Zhang family? Zhang Tiejun's family or Zhang Jianqiang's family?"
Qiao Manman looked at Lu Yuan, saw him shake his head, took out a Forget-Me-Not Pill the size of a fingernail, and stuffed it into Wang Xinghan's mouth.
Lu Yuan knocked the man unconscious, and Qiao Manman gave him some medicine to weaken him. She then asked, "Should we go ask Grandpa Wang?"
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"
The two of them went to Old Master Wang's bedroom and heard loud snoring coming from inside.
Qiao Manman thought to herself, "If someone can sleep so soundly after doing something wrong, I wonder how many dirty things they have up their sleeve."
They pushed open the door and woke the man. A talisman for vomiting truth entered Old Wang's body, and before he could even utter a sound, he fell silent.
Lu Yuan asked many questions and learned that the Wang family had used the same methods to bring down several founding fathers. He wanted nothing more than to crush Wang's neck.
Qiao Manman deftly fed him the Forget-Me-Not Pill, and then gave all the male members of the Wang family a potion that would weaken them.
As the saying goes, "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze." What they need to do is not only make the Wang family suffer the consequences of their own actions, but also to extinguish their hopes of a comeback.
Before leaving, the two men slipped the letter of treason into Old Master Wang's study, ransacked most of their savings, and erased all traces of their presence.
Qiao Manman used the temporarily obtained wall-penetrating technique to take Lu Yuan away from the military compound.
He walked to a corner, conjured a bicycle, and took it to the Zhang family's house.
Similarly, after using both the Sleeping Talisman and the Truth-Expelling Talisman, it was discovered that the Zhang family had a relative by marriage who was a leader in the Ge Committee.
They buried that radio transmitter half a month ago, and were just waiting for his family to report it first thing tomorrow morning. The Revolutionary Committee would then search their home, find the letter that colluded with the enemy, and take the man into custody.
They then searched for evidence in the properties under the Lu family's name, and after digging out the radio transmitter, they confirmed the crime.
Once the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, we can dig out the contents of the secret room and divide them up.
"Who orchestrated all of this behind the scenes?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Miss Keiko!"
"Miss Huizi again?" Qiao Manman blurted out.
The two exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking.
Qiao Manman found out the address of the committee director, knocked him unconscious, and fed him a forget-me-not.
Lu Yuan and I dug a hole in the yard and buried the telegraph machine in it. After looting most of the money and banknotes from the house, we left and went straight to Dou Yifan, the director of the Revolutionary Committee.
After using the Truth-Dispelling Talisman to find out the other party's plans, whether he was a spy, whether he had done anything immoral, and where his gold and silver treasures were hidden, he fed him a Forget-Me-Not Pill and used a Puppet Talisman before leaving.
They visited three houses that night, and it was almost dawn. The two rode their bikes back to the compound, but still didn't use the main gate. They used a one-time wall-penetrating technique, thus having a solid alibi.
Qiao Manman returned home, quickly washed up, and lay down on her spacious bed.
Lu Yuan leaned closer, facing her, their eyes meeting. They looked at each other for a while, then smiled.
"I never imagined that on our wedding night, we'd be out stealing!"
“It’s not impossible to make up for it now!” Lu Yuan rolled over and pinned Qiao Manman down.
Their warm breaths sprayed onto each other's faces, and Lu Yuan's heart trembled. He lowered his head and kissed Qiao Manman's moist lips.
His hands started to become unruly.
Qiao Manman kissed him, but refused to go any further. As he undressed her, she pushed him away, saying, "No!"
Lu Yuan felt wronged: "Wife, you don't want to?"
Qiao Manman turned to look out the window: "It's almost dawn!"
"We don't have the custom of getting up early to pay our respects in our family!"
Qiao Manman sighed: "You are injured and should not engage in strenuous activities."
Lu Yuan pleaded, "Use a spell on me so I can get better faster."
Qiao Manman said, "No, everyone knows you're injured. It's not something that can be healed easily. Let's wait until the scabs fall off before we consummate our marriage."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth: "Fine!"
Qiao Manman chuckled and poked his chest: "There's still plenty of time, let's take it slow!"
Lu Yuan rolled over and lay down beside her, took a deep breath, and pulled her into his arms: "Sleep!"
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement and soon fell asleep.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, was nearly bursting with internal injuries from holding it in.
The morning sun shone on the windowsill, and the Wang and Zhang families got up early, looking forward to today's show.
Dou Yifan rubbed his head and led his men straight to the Zhang family's house. He said he had received a tip that the Zhang family members were spies.
Old Master Zhang grabbed Dou Yifan and said, "Nephew-in-law, are you mistaken? Our Zhang family is honest and upright; we would never do such a despicable thing!"
Seeing the other little red soldiers looking over, he quickly hinted, "Are you looking in the wrong direction?"
Dou Yifan felt a bit dazed, as if he had forgotten something, yet he remembered very clearly that they were coming to raid his home.
"Old man, don't try to pull strings. Let's be clear. If you haven't done anything wrong, everything is fine. But if you've really done something to betray the country, don't blame me for turning against you."
Grandpa Zhang patted his chest guiltily: "How could that be? We are the most honest and law-abiding people."
Just then, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen shouted, "Director, we've found the telegraph machine!"
