An assassin? Call me the Master of Raising Prices!

In the courtyard of the Jinyiwei Yamen, nine people wrapped in cotton clothes stared at each other with big eyes. Lu Wenyu didn't wait for anyone to speak, then asked with a smile.

"You have to let me know your names, right? Are all the people here mute?"

The nine people looked at me and I looked at you, not daring to say anything. On the contrary, Zhao Jiu, who was behind Lu Wenyu, couldn't help but cover up his laughter. The nine people frowned, wondering what Lu Wenyu meant. After a moment of silence, a man dressed as a Taoist priest reached out his hand from his cotton robe and saluted Lu Wenyu.

"Master Lu, I am Zhang Chongjing of the Tianshi Mansion, a second-grade cultivation level."

Tianshi Mansion? Lu Wenyu looked at Zhang Chongjing in surprise, is the Taoist school so willing? There are only a few people in Tianshi Mansion, but one person actually came. Although he didn't know the details, Lu Wenyu still nodded towards Zhang Chongjing as a sign of approval.

"Maoshan, Lin Yiyan, third grade."

"Wudang, He Miaocong, second grade."

The two people beside Zhang Chongjing stepped forward to salute and said calmly. Lu Wenyu frowned, what's going on with this sect? Apart from Wudang, there aren't many other disciples. How could they really be so willing?

Before Lu Wenyu could figure out the reason, the three people opposite the Taoist trio stepped forward to salute. Their bald heads made it obvious at a glance, "Monk!"

"Lantuo Temple, Dharma knowledge, second-grade cultivation."

"Kuchen Temple, Mingzhi, third grade."

"The commander of the Dacheng'en Temple to cross the river and see the land."

Dachengen Temple was named after Taizu and had always had a very good relationship with the imperial court. It was not surprising that he met Lu Wenyu during the difficult times. Seeing Du Di, Lu Wenyu's frowning eyebrows relaxed a lot, and she asked with a smile, "Okay, no need to be polite. I haven't been to the temple for a long time. Is your master in good health?"

"Everything is fine. Thank you Mr. Lu for your concern. Master often misses Mr. Lu." Du Nan and Lu Wenyu are half acquaintances, so naturally they are somewhat close.

"That's good." Lu Wenyu nodded, looked at the two people standing opposite, and asked, "What about you?"

"Jianchi Chen Ying, second-grade cultivation level."

"The villain's name is Shen Lie. He has no family or sect, and is alone..."

Before Shen Lie could finish his words, Lu Wenyu shouted angrily, "What nonsense? Are you coming to join in the fun with no family or sect? Who asked you to come? How dare you deal with me like this!"

Shen Lie didn't seem to hear Lu Wenyu's words, his rough face remained calm, and he continued what he had just said, "No one ordered me, I just want to be loyal to the country. I am a villain...a first-grade cultivation."

The words "Yipin" were like thunder on the ground. Zhao Jiu and the other eight people looked at Shen Lie in shock. Only Lu Wenyu's eyes moved slightly, as if he had thought of something. He shook his head and said bitterly, "The court is sorry for you. I'm sorry for those years... Alas, Lu feels guilty..."

"Don't say such things, Mr. Lu, it's nothing more than death. No one is forcing you to do it. You do it voluntarily." The expression on Shen Lie's face did not change. He just raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Wenyu, and then returned to calmness.

Seeing that Shen Lie persisted, Lu Wenyu stopped persuading and waved to the green eunuch standing in front of the hall, "Eunuch Ning, I didn't expect it to be you. Is it Eunuch Feng's intention or your own?"

"What I mean! I only have a few years left to live. Rather than die in the palace, it is better to die in my hometown and repay Eunuch Feng for saving my life." After speaking, Eunuch Ning walked down the steps, stood in the snow, and followed Several people bowed their hands and saluted.

"Young heroes and masters, our eunuchs and eunuchs are of the first rank, so I am polite to you."

As expected of a member of the palace, although Eunuch Ning was dressed in green, he was polite and did not feel like he was bullying others. Instead, his tone sounded very gentle.

Lu Wenyu nodded, tilted his head and said, "Jin Yiwei Zhao Muzhi, second-level cultivation. With him, there are enough for ten people."

"You must have known for a long time that the probability of surviving this trip... is not high. So I asked people to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the hall. Please leave a suicide note!"

After speaking, Lu Wenyu didn't look at everyone's expressions. He raised his hand to lead the hall and motioned for a few people to come in. The seven of them looked at me and I looked at you, hesitant and unwilling to move forward. Instead, Shen Lie said nothing, turned around and walked into the hall, picked up the pen on the table and started writing.

With Shen Lie taking the lead, the others no longer hesitated and walked into the hall. On the other hand, Zhao Ju and Eunuch Ning stood motionless.

"Eunuch Ning, please leave a suicide note." Lu Wenyu advised.

Eunuch Ning smiled, his face as calm as water, "What we want to say was already told to Eunuch Feng last night. Besides, there is nothing we can't let go of a person who has no roots. Mr. Zhao, on the other hand, does not keep any share." A suicide note to your family?”

"What kind of suicide note do you want when you come back alive?" Zhao said firmly without raising his head.

"Oh?" Eunuch Ning and Lu Wenyu looked at each other. Quan Dang Zhao was a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, so he simply stopped trying to persuade him.

After a while, the eight people came out one after another after writing their suicide notes. Lu Wenyu smiled and bowed to everyone, "If any of you are unfortunately buried in the barren mountain, I will send the suicide note to you. I ask you to do your best in the future. Lu Wenyu The imperial court thanks you all.”

After speaking, Lu Wenyu stepped forward and bowed politely, then said solemnly, "Everyone comes to the hall to have a meal. Lu will give you a brave performance!"

Meals have been prepared in the back hall, including all kinds of delicacies, famous dishes and wines from different places, and the fruits of the four seasons are all allocated from the emperor's treasury, which is evident in the grandeur.

Everyone followed Lu Wenyu into the back hall, and the scene in front of them still surprised everyone. Even Eunuch Ning, who had been in front of the emperor for a long time, couldn't help but gasp. Three large tables were set up with dozens or hundreds of dishes, and you could smell the aroma of wine, coriander, and vegetables before you even got close.

"Everyone, every dish on the table is made by the imperial chef, and the fruits and vegetables are also picked from the emperor's ice store. I hope you can enjoy the meal." Lu Wenyu took the lead and sat down, pouring a glass of wine for everyone.

"I think the Three Pure Ones Buddha will not blame a disciple who is loyal to the country for breaking the precepts. This glass of wine is for you, please!"

Having said this, what else is there to think about? Everyone raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass. After a banquet, everyone almost ate until the beginning of the night.

After eating and drinking, Lu Wenyu stood up and led the way, "The carriage is ready, everyone, follow me to get in the car."

Everyone walked out of the door, and the white-haired eunuch Feng was standing in the snow. Lu Wenyu just nodded to eunuch Feng and walked to the front carriage. Instead, eunuch Ning's expression changed, and he walked towards eunuch Ning in the wind and snow.

"Godfather, why are you here? Things are urgent in the palace, don't worry about your son."

Eunuch Feng smiled, patted Eunuch Ning's shoulder, gently helped Eunuch Ning wipe the snow off his body, and said sadly, "Alas, you are leaving, Godfather has to come to see you off no matter how important it is. People often say that when a child is away, parents worry. You have been in the palace for decades and called me godfather for decades. Now you are leaving, Godfather must give you something."

As he said this, Eunuch Feng waved to the eunuch behind him. The eunuch came over respectfully holding a box. Eunuch Feng took the box and handed it to Eunuch Ning.

"Godfather, what is this?" Eunuch Ning said and wanted to open the box, but was stopped by Eunuch Feng.

"The things in it may save your life. Remember, don't tell anyone! Godfather is useless, he can only help you get here, and you have to walk the road ahead by yourself..."

After speaking, Eunuch Feng's eyes were already filled with tears. He held Eunuch Ning's hand and patted it gently, and he was a little choked up when he spoke.

"Come back alive, your godfather is waiting for you!"
