Jiang Miao raised her eyebrows when she heard Feng Yuxian's words. She was still hesitating about how to tell the Feng family's servants that things were not as simple as they seemed, but she didn't expect that Feng Yuxian had already seen through their plan.
She breathed a sigh of relief. This little lady looked soft and frail, but in fact she had her own plans in mind.
"They have been tied up in the room by my subordinates. I have searched some things from their house. I think you will need them."
Shen Yanqing walked in from the outside and told her what Zhao Lin and others were doing. Jiang Miao turned around and gave him a thumbs up. Okay, he is worthy of being the male protagonist. He is very capable. Before they could react, The murderer was already caught when we came here.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor."
Feng Yuxianti also felt relieved. Fortunately, she and Yutang met noble people to help them and prevented those evil slaves from succeeding.
When Zhao Lin caught the person, he went to report it to the officials. Officials from the county government came very quickly. There were tung oil and Mongolian sweat medicine hidden in Feng Wu's house. There were all witnesses and physical evidence. No one believed them even if they tried to make excuses.
"Madam, young master, this old slave was wronged. These people framed me. Please give me a clean slate for the fact that I and others have served the Feng family for decades..."
Feng Wu was completely panicked when he saw the official arrival. He did not expect that Shen Yanqing and others would arrest them and find the tools they used to commit the crime.
These slaves were all old men of the Feng family, and they kept to themselves when Father Feng was around. Unexpectedly, before Father Feng's body was dried, these evil slaves bullied her and Yutang for being weak and helpless, and wanted to seek wealth and death.
"If there were no noble people to save us today, our brothers and sisters would have died in the sea of fire. Yu Xian also wants to call you uncle, but what you have done has never been worthy of the Feng family. Dear officials, these people are the thieves who set the fire. Please The official will punish you severely!"
"Don't worry, little lady, as long as the evidence is solid, your Excellency will certainly not let the murderer go."
"Be honest and let's go!"
The official said in a deep voice, turned around and pulled Feng Wu and others away. Knowing that there was no room for change after the matter was exposed, Feng Wu and others stopped shouting, their faces were filled with despair. They wanted to murder their master. Such a crime was enough to make them Lose your life.
"Thanks to Mrs. Shen and Langjun Shen today, otherwise my brother and I would not be able to bring these evil slaves to justice."
She knew that the cunning of Feng Wu and others would inevitably destroy the evidence. Fortunately, the Shen family's guards were there, so they were captured and brought to justice so smoothly.
The guest room was burned to the ground, and the shopkeeper was crying without tears. This was a completely unintentional disaster in their inn. Who would have thought that those evil slaves were so courageous to set fire to their inn? Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and no other people were burned. room, otherwise the shopkeeper would have a heart attack today.
"The fire was originally caused by me. According to the shopkeeper's calculation of the losses, I will compensate them according to the price."
"This... little lady is so grand. My inn is made of century-old locust wood, which is rare and good wood. I was also a victim of the fire, so I won't pay you the labor cost for the reconstruction. I only need to pay for the materials." Five hundred taels of silver is enough."
The shopkeeper said that he only wanted the materials, but what kind of wood could be worth five hundred taels of silver? He was not a traitor, because he saw that Feng Yuxian was easy to talk to and blackmailed her.
The Feng family was in business, so Feng Yuxian didn't understand that the shopkeeper was trying to trick her, but she and her brother escaped death and didn't care about the hundreds of taels of silver. They just wanted to resolve the matter quickly.
She took out five 100-tael banknotes and handed them over. The shopkeeper wiped his hands and took them, his eyes narrowed with joy. He was crying just now, but now he is so happy when he meets someone who has been taken advantage of. .
"My dear lady, please stay here and I will give you a discount on the room rate."
He had to keep such a scapegoat. The money leaked from the little lady's fingernails was more than his earnings for the day.
Feng Yuxian didn't reply to him, so the shopkeeper accepted it and took the waiter back to the backyard.
After struggling for half the night, it was already dawn. Jiang Miao didn't sleep well at night, and now she was sleepy. She originally planned to rest for the night and then leave, but seeing the listless people, Shen Yanqing decisively decided to rest for another day.
By the time Jiang Miao woke up and woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. Shen Yanqing asked the waiter to bring the meal he had prepared early in the morning. Jiang Miao was so hungry that she wolfed down the food. Shen Yanqing handed her a cup of tea before she could drink it. After finishing, Qinglian brought Feng Yuxian in.
"Mrs. Shen."
"Ms. Feng, why are you here?"
She asked people to sit down and handed them a cup of hot tea. Jiang Miao had a good impression of Feng Yuxian, and after what happened to her just now, Jiang Miao's attitude became even softer.
"I want to ask you where you are going. Yutang and I want to sacrifice our lives and ask Madam to allow us to follow..."
She rubbed her handkerchief with a look of embarrassment on her face. She could tell that Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing were of extraordinary temperament, and their maids and guards were also very skilled. She had all the Feng family's wealth on her, and she had no trustworthy guards. Walking alone on the road with my brother is like a lamb to the slaughter.
But they were not related to Jiang Miao, and she still wanted to rely on someone else to save her, which was not kind at all. Feng Yuxian was thin-skinned, and she was already prepared to be rejected after saying this.
"My husband and I are going to the south of the Yangtze River, and the next stop is probably Yangzhou..." Jiang Miao didn't think her request was too much. Ancient times were no better than modern times, and gangsters were everywhere. With looks like those of the Feng family, even without wealth, they would attract people's attention.
"If the destination is the same, then come with us."
"Same, thank you Mrs. Shen!"
When Feng Yuxian heard her promise, the gratitude on her face became even more genuine. She rested for another day, and the next day Jiang Miao and others set off with the Feng siblings.
There were three carriages in the Feng family. Feng Wu incited most of the slaves at that time, but there were still a few who were loyal to the Feng family and were not bewitched by him. They were knocked unconscious by Feng Wu and locked up in the woodshed in the backyard. When they woke up, they knew that Feng The fifth class of people were imprisoned for murdering their master, and these people all breathed a sigh of relief.
They deserve it, and they don't think about how much the master valued them when he was alive, but he directly rebelled in just half a year. The slaves who betrayed the master should be severely punished.
Although Feng Yuxian was born in a business family, she went to a private school since she was a child and was as knowledgeable as her male counterparts. She and Jiang Miao had a particularly good time talking to each other along the way. Jiang Miao was originally in the same carriage as Shen Yanqing, but later she left him and sat with the Feng siblings. Went in the carriage.
It was only during the conversation that Jiang Miao learned about her life experience. The Feng family was the richest man in Xu County. Feng's father and Feng's mother were killed by water bandits six months ago. The Feng family's uncle wanted to annex their family property. Naturally, Feng Yuxian didn't want to, so she sold it. All the pawns he pawned were exchanged for banknotes, and he took all his belongings with him to Yangzhou to seek asylum from his uncle's family.
I just didn't expect that some of the servants in the family became greedy and wanted to kill her and her brother to seize the family property. Fortunately, they were saved by Jiang Miao and others.
