Mei Yizhu had only left for two-quarters of an hour. Qian Manguan and Gan Sui had already finished their work and returned to the inn.
"Qian Man Suan, I don't know how efficient you are in doing things." Feng Qingzhuang praised her and then asked, "Where are everyone?"
"Everyone is waiting in the lobby of the inn. I asked Gan Sui to watch there. As for those big pots, the people from the iron shop have also delivered them to the door of the inn," Qian Manguan replied.
"Things are going well. You can go down later and ask those people to have some food with the people delivering pots from the iron shop in the inn, and then take them to the North City Gate, the gate we passed yesterday." Feng Qingzhuang
The voice is as calm as water, neither light nor heavy, but makes people obey involuntarily.
"Okay, then you and my cousin, you two are not going to join us." A trace of doubt appeared in Qian Manguan's dark eyes, and he opened his thin lips lightly and asked.
"Let's go first. We will be the pioneers for you and let people open the city gates." Feng Qingzhuang's face was calm and her eyes were indifferent.
After saying that, Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jingyu went downstairs and walked quickly towards the city gate.
It's daybreak, and the red sun penetrates the clouds and casts thousands of golden lights. There are gradually more and more busy people on the streets. Today's Yu'an City is extremely lively.
Outside the Yamen, the rice merchants whose rice shops were stolen last night gathered here early in the morning, waiting to report to the official. However, after waiting for a long time, Mr. Qin did not come out to the court.
Qin Mansion, when I woke up early in the morning, Master Qin was nowhere to be seen. Xin Na’s Jiu Yiniang also disappeared. There were only dried blood stains left on the floor in the room, indicating that something bad had happened in the house, which was disturbing to everyone in the Qin Mansion.
The chaos exploded, and the whole government mobilized to look for people.
Suddenly, a servant turned pale and stumbled to Chen Suhong, the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion, and said: "Madam, something bad has happened, sir, sir..."
I kept mumbling for a long time and didn't say anything.
"Master, what happened to him?" Chen Suhong's face turned cold, she looked at the servant in front of her and said sharply.
"Master, he was killed, and his body is now hanging on the city gate."
After hearing the news, the eldest lady's face changed drastically. She swayed a few times and fell down on the chair behind her as if she couldn't stand. She was completely stupid and had no idea.
After being stunned for a long time, he came back to his senses and hurried to the city gate with a few servants to collect the body.
The sun was shining brightly, and the city gate was extremely lively. It was crowded with people who came to watch the excitement. When everyone saw the body of Lord Qin, who usually only knew the common people, there was no trace of pity in their eyes, and they were very happy.
Under the city gate, when Chen Sumei and several servants from the Qin Mansion arrived, Feng Qingzhuang and Wu Jingyu also arrived at the city gate. Coincidentally, the steward of the Qin Mansion and a few people happened to catch them.
When Jiu Yiniang arrived and fled, she heard that the eldest lady rushed to the city gate to collect the body of the master. The housekeeper and several servants escorted Jiu Yiniang and rushed towards the city gate.
At this time, I saw Feng Qingzhuang holding a long sword in her hand, her figure as tall and straight as a pine and cypress, standing proudly among the crowd, her dark eyes as deep as a pool, filled with a frightening cold air.
He threatened coldly
"If you don't want to die, just open the city gate quickly."
"Your Majesty has an order. There are many hungry people outside the city. In order to prevent the hungry people from flooding into Yu'an City, without your Lord's warrant, no one is allowed to open the city gate to let the hungry people into the city. Anyone who disobeys will be punished with death."
The sword was held on his neck. Although the city gate official was frightened and turned pale, he still had some courage. Instead of ordering the city gate to be opened, he clearly repeated the words of Mr. Qin who had died.
"The Lord in your mouth has long been turned into a cold corpse and hung on the city gate to show the public. You are so stupid and loyal and refuse to order the city gate to be opened. Do you also want to accompany that dog official who only knows how to eat and drink the common people?"
Hanging him on the city gate in public?"
Feng Qingzhuang snorted coldly, a faint light appeared in her eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile emerged from the corner of her lips. She moved her wrist slightly, and moved the long sword forward in her hand. A trace of bright red appeared on the neck of the city gate official.
At this moment, the housekeeper escorted Jiu Yiniang to the city gate and walked to Chen Suhong.
"Madam, Jiu Yiniang has been caught."
Chen Suhong glared at Jiu Yiniang fiercely. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and slapped her first, and then started to ask questions.
"Bitch, last night the master rested in your room. Early this morning, the master's body was hung on the city gate. People asked, did you, a bitch, secretly collude with outsiders to kill you?
master?"
"Madam, you are wrong. I was not the one who killed the master. He was killed by that woman. She not only killed the master, but also looted all the silver in the house's warehouse."
When she first walked to the city gate, Jiu Yiniang recognized Feng Qingzhuang's cold eyes through the layers of people. Then, Feng Qingzhuang's threatening voice to the city gate official came out, and she became even more worried.
The person who killed Mr. Qin last night must have been the woman who stood proudly in the crowd. In order to save her life and fear of Chen Suhong, she pointed at Feng Qingzhuang and told the truth.
Hearing that the property in the warehouse had been looted, the news was like a bolt from the blue, even more unacceptable than Lord Qin's death.
Chen Suhong, who was standing at the stairs of the city wall, swayed, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
A group of people were so anxious that they pinched the people's acupuncture points. Chen Sumei woke up faintly. Without saying anything, she rushed towards Feng Qingzhuang who was threatening the gate officer under the city wall like crazy.
If a man dies, he dies. Anyway, he stays in another woman’s house every night but his belongings are robbed. How will she live in the future?
Seeing Chen Suhong rushing over, the people of Yu'an City gave way one after another. Many people had seen this evil woman.
"Damn bitch, did you kill our master?"
When she thought about the treasures in her house being looted and having to live a hard life from now on, Chen Suhong completely lost her mind and rushed to Feng Qingzhuang, pulling her and questioning her.
"A corrupt official who only cares about the common people, and secretly sells the grains handed in by the common people to rice merchants in exchange for silver. He is not worthy of death, bitch. Get out of here, or I will kill you too."
Feng Qingzhuang's ruthless cold eyes swept away, and murderous intent burst out. Chen Suhong trembled. However, people died for wealth, and birds died for food. How could Chen Suhong be willing to leave her? She calmly took a few steps back and shouted to the back.
"Come here, whoever takes down this murderer of your Excellency, I will reward you with a silver reward of one hundred taels."
Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men
In addition to the servants from the Qin Mansion, there were actually more than a dozen tall and tall men among the people watching and attacked Feng Qingzhuang.
