MTL - Wonderful Life After Exchanging Fate-Chapter 39
It turned out that on the way here, Jiang Yunzhu asked one of the big guys who seemed to be more talkative, what happened.
The big man saw that she was a pretty girl and she spoke nicely, and he was afraid that there might be some misunderstanding, so he told her the whole story.
They are members of Chengdong Fengyuan Escort Bureau, and the strong man in front is their master, surnamed Li.
Li Biaotou's youngest son was ill from being beaten into the mother's womb, and has been weak since he was a child. The family protected him like a pearl. A few days ago, Li Yan suddenly became excited, so he rode a mule in the **** agency and went out for a stroll.
Walking to Hexi Street, suddenly an old lady rushed out and bumped into his mule.
Li Yan was only thirteen years old and rarely went out, so he was immediately frightened.
At this time, several people came out, pushing and shoving him, saying that he had hit someone, robbed his mule, and stripped him of all valuables before throwing him to the side of the road.
Li Yan went home in shock and fell ill that night. The family asked him what was going on, and he told what happened before.
Li Biaotou and the others traveled all over the world and saw nothing. They immediately understood that he had been blackmailed, and they were furious.
For the past two days, they had been looking for people and mules in the county town, and they happened to see Jiang Cheng leading their mule into the city, so they naturally regarded him as the murderer.
After Jiang Yunzhu listened, the old lady bumped into the mule, why did she sound so familiar? Suddenly, she remembered that Liu Shi once said that an old lady bumped into her carriage, and then she met Wei Kangping.
She still doesn't understand, this is a group of habitual offenders, that's why she just said that sentence, "We may all be deceived."
Everyone looked at her, and she immediately told the whole story.
She spoke clearly, every detail was correct, Li Biaotou and the others hesitated, is that so?
Jiang Cheng finally understood that it turned out to be like this. He immediately gritted his teeth angrily, the surname Wei is really not a good person!
It was Liu Shi who reacted the most. She opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her ears. Wei Kangping lied to her? Then her money... She entered the room like crazy, picked up the wooden box on the table and threw it on the ground.
The wooden box was broken in half, revealing the house deed and land deed inside.
She rushed into the courtyard with those house deeds and land deeds, as if she was saying to everyone, but also to herself, "No, he put all the house deeds and land deeds with me, he is not a liar."
She was so excited that a house deed slipped from her hand and landed in front of Escort Li.
Li Biao took a glance, "The owner of this house is surnamed Qian, I know him, and his surname is not Wei at all. Moreover, the official seal seems to be..." It seems to be fake.
He didn't finish, but everyone understood what he meant.
Immediately, all the house deeds and land deeds in Liu's hand fell to the ground, she fell down and sat there, tears streaming down her face, but she couldn't say a word.
Some things had been foreshadowed, for example, Wei Kangping never let her go to his house, for example, he asked her about the money a few times, but he hadn't looked into it before, and now thinking about it, it was all flaws.
Seeing her crying like this, Li Escort believed that she was also being cheated.
Gu Yongde was still relatively steady, and asked the people next to him, which yard did Mrs. Liu live in?
A middle-aged woman squeezed out from the crowd, saying that an old lady rented the yard from her, and she only paid one month's rent, which was about to expire soon.
All the truth came out, the old lady was one of them.
What should we do now? Only by catching Wei Kangping can we give everyone justice. Jiang Yunzhu asked Gu Yongde, "Look, this matter?" She wanted to report to the officials, but she didn't know the situation in Wuling County Yamen, so she wanted to hear Gu Yongde's opinion .
"Report to the official!" Gu Yongde said after a little thought.
A group of people went to the county government office.
The magistrate of Wuling County, surnamed Meng, had just finished breakfast and was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a servant came in with something the size of a palm in his hand.
"Master, someone asked me to give this to you." The servant bowed.
"What?" Meng Zhixian looked into the servant's hand, and suddenly slid off the chair like noodles.
"Master." "Master." The servant girl rushed to help him, but found that Meng Zhixian's body seemed to be boneless, and his whole body was soft.
With great difficulty, Meng Zhixian was helped back to the chair.
Meng Zhixian touched his neck first, then jumped up and grabbed the token in the servant's hand.
Qilin Guard's token, that's right!
He only heard a few days ago that General Wang and others were captured by the Qilin Guards and taken to the capital. Now the capital is bleeding like a river. A while ago, the officials of Changfeng Mansion were almost killed...
Now the token appeared in his hand, "Where's the person?" He asked tremblingly.
The servant was illiterate, didn't know what was written on the token, and didn't understand why the master suddenly became like this. That person just threw the sign at him casually, if it wasn't for that person's outstanding looks, he wouldn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Let's go." The servant returned, threw down the sign, and the man left.
"Leaving?" Meng Zhixian hurriedly ran outside, but there was no one there, and he stood there in a panic.
At this moment, someone was beating a drum in front of him, and the sound of the drum seemed to hit his heart.
Shengtang, a group of yamen servants stand on both sides, and sit in the middle of Mengzhi county.
It was the first time in Jiang Cheng's life that he went to court, before the servants around could shout, he knelt down on the ground, feeling worried.
The others didn't get much better, and they were all terrified.
However, the most nervous person in the hall was Mengzhi County. He looked around and found no suspicious person, but he always had the illusion that someone was staring at him, and if he was a little careless, he would be doomed.
Then everyone discovered that Mengzhi County was extra cautious when asking about the case today. In the past, he would slap the gavel, scold everyone, and hit people with the board, but today he only slapped the gavel twice, and he still picked it up high and dropped it gently.
Jiang Yunzhu had already sorted out the whole story for everyone, and Meng Zhixian was amiable again, and Jiang Cheng and the others explained the matter very smoothly.
When Meng Zhi County heard that there were such villains in his jurisdiction, he immediately sent police to search for them.
It's just that no one can be found, and Wei Kangping has already led them out of the county at this time.
Mengzhi County was in a hurry and couldn't catch anyone. Was it because he was not good at handling the case? Search, all the policemen will go out to catch people for me. If they can't catch people, they will all be punished.
The arresters knew that the master was serious, so they didn't dare to neglect, and all went out to arrest people.
Jiang Yunzhu couldn't help being a little surprised to see Meng Zhi County being so vigorous and resolute. There are not many officials like him these days. The ancient torture technology was backward, and it was impossible to draw a portrait. She could catch people... She didn't have much hope at first, but now she feels that she can look forward to it.
No one could be caught for a while, so Mengzhi asked everyone to go back first. As for the mule, it was regarded as evidence and had to be left in the county government first.
After leaving the county office, Jiang Cheng was extremely depressed, and the money he had saved with great difficulty was gone.
"Father, you can make more money if you run out of money, as long as you are okay." Jiang Yunzhu comforted him.
"Yes!" Gu Yongde also comforted Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng forced a smile, he's fine.
Someone has something to do, "Are you looking for death? I didn't see the car." A man shouted.
He was driving a bullock cart passing by, but Liu Shi bumped into him like a walking dead, and almost hit his car.
The man scolded Liu Shi, but Liu Shi stared at the wheel as if he didn't hear it.
Jiang Cheng looked worried, she is like this, don't let anything happen again, but there are some things that he can't say as a man, so he looked at Jiang Yunzhu.
Jiang Yunzhu understood, took Liu Shi's hand and said, "Auntie, the government will bring that man back. Think about Lu Yuan."
At the mention of Lu Yuan, Liu's eyes finally became brighter. She looked at Jiang Yunzhu, and tears suddenly fell down like a bank.
It's all her fault, a lowly person who covets things that don't belong to her, and ends up with nothing.
She wondered if Jiang Yunzhu had misunderstood before, and she was the stupidest person!
She herself was cheated, and the Jiang family was also cheated. I originally wanted to repay their kindness, but now I have harmed them.
It's all her fault!
Fortunately, Jiang Yunzhu was not bullied by that person, otherwise she would die to atone for her crime.
She was crying heartbroken and desperate, and Jiang Yunzhu also knew that no matter how much words were used to comfort her, it would be useless unless Wei Kangping could be caught and the silver returned.
But, it's hard.
Across the street, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng stood there. Yang Sheng looked at the scene over there and said angrily, "Sure enough, we can't count on those arresters. If our people were here, they would have been arrested by now."
"When will our people arrive?" Shen Fengming asked.
"Wait for another two days." Yang Sheng replied. The horses of the two of them were fast, and the guards were left behind again.
Shen Fengming nodded.
Yang Sheng also looked over there again, and after two days, he promised to make those people regret coming to this world.
Jiang Cheng, Gu Yongde, and Jiang Yunzhu returned to Changshi Village.
Jiang Cheng thanked Gu Yongde, Gu Yongde waved his hands again and again, but didn't help them, and then went home.
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yunzhu went home, and when they told Chen about the matter, Chen covered his mouth and choked up.
Jiang Yunzhu persuaded Chen Shi again, in her opinion, it was really just a few taels of silver, as long as people are free.
Her attitude comforted Mrs. Chen, otherwise she would have suffered a serious illness.
"Let's make lunch." Jiang Yunzhu said, they still have business to do.
Mrs. Chen nodded quickly and got busy.
At this time, someone knocked on the door.
Jiang Yunzhu was in the courtyard, she went to open the door.
The door opened, she stood there in a daze, the two people outside... Was she dazzled? Looking carefully, it was really Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng, she immediately turned pale.
She wondered if Wuling County had bad geomantic omen. First, there was such a catastrophe, and then there was someone like Wei Kangping. Now, the **** of death came to visit again.
It's been really bad luck lately.
She thought, otherwise, she would just move out of this place when she made some more money.
Yang Sheng: ...Why does he have the illusion of being rejected again.
At this time, Mrs. Chen poked her head out from the kitchen and saw Shen Fengming and the two of them. She was also taken aback for a moment, "You two sold out the food you sold last time?"
Yang Sheng: ... nodded in confusion.
"I'm afraid the village has no food to sell to you." Chen said. There are many mountains around Changshi Village, so there is little grain production in the first place. The price of Yang Sheng's harvested grain was high last time, and all the grain that the village wanted to sell had already been sold to him.
"We're going to visit other counties this time, and we just passed by here to see you." Yang Sheng didn't lie, the case they wanted to investigate was in another county. As he said that, he also took out a bunch of food like a magic trick, including citrus, snacks, candied fruit and so on.
Just passing by, Jiang Yunzhu raised his eyebrows.
Mrs. Chen was pleasantly surprised and a little bit worried. The surprise was that these two merchants passed by and came to see them. The worry was that something happened to Wei Kangping. She looked like a bad person to everyone now.
She knew that she shouldn't think so, so she immediately invited Shen Fengming and the others in.
Arriving at the familiar side room again, Yang Sheng was still a little emotional.
At noon, since the two of them came to see Jiang Cheng and the others, and brought so many things, they were guests. Jiang Yunzhu cooked a table of meals, and Jiang Cheng accompanied them, and everyone sat and ate together.
"Young master." Jiang Cheng said.
"Don't call me Young Master, my name is Yang Sheng, he..." Yang Sheng looked at Shen Fengming, how would he introduce his name?
Jiang Yunzhu also looked at Shen Fengming, and suddenly held his breath, what if he said his name was Shen Fengming? Commander Shen Fengming of the Qilin Guard, not to mention all the Xia Dynasty people, more than half have heard of his name.
If Jiang Cheng and Chen Shi heard that his name was Shen Fengming...
"Shen Yuyu." Shen Fengming said. His name is Shen Fengming, his surname is Yuyu, few people know his surname.
Hearing what he said, Jiang Yunzhu breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and continued to eat with his head down.
The Jiang family no longer does the breakfast business, and it's cold in winter, so they go to bed early.
The night was deep, with a north wind blowing, suddenly, Shen Fengming opened his eyes.
Next to him, Yang Sheng was a step slower than him, but he also woke up.
"Someone." Yang Sheng said.
"Ok."
The two got up quietly, followed the sound, and came to the backyard of the Jiang family.
There is a mountain behind Jiang's house, and at the foot of the mountain, several people are standing there shyly.
"Why didn't the boss come? Didn't he say that he would leave Wuling County after taking the girl captive?" The person who spoke had a mischievous eyebrow and a knife in his hand. He was the one who followed Wei Kangping yesterday.
The county government officials went crazy and arrested Wei Kangping everywhere. Wei Kangping didn't dare to stay in Wuling County anymore, but he just left because he was unwilling.
This group of them has always been able to deceive if they can, and they can't deceive or be smashed. They can do anything.
Wei Kangping decided to take Jiang Yunzhu captive tonight.
He knew that Jiang's family was just a young and strong man in Jiangcheng, and there were six people on their side, who sneaked into Jiang's house with mist, and stunned people, so they didn't let him do anything.
But before he left, he had one more thing to do. He hid the silver he got in Wuling County in a hidden place.
He went to get the silver first, and then gathered with a few people at the back door of Jiang's house.
Standing on the high wall, Yang Sheng threw his arm at Shen Fengming. Fortunately, they came early, otherwise Miss Jiang would be...
As a result, his arm hit the air.
Shen Fengming had already jumped off the high wall.
"Woo..." The people below didn't even have time to scream.
"Keep two alive." Yang Sheng whispered anxiously, and quickly jumped off the wall.
There was another sound of bone breaking, Shen Fengming finally stopped, standing in the night like Shura.
There were two people left, an old lady and a thin man, both peed their pants in fright.
Yang Cheng pinched his nose, now he knows he's scared, why did he do it earlier, it's not good to provoke anyone, to provoke this killing god.
He kicked the skinny man, "Get up, I have something to ask you."
I must ask where the surname Wei went.
Also, there is so much blood on the ground, what should I do if the Jiang family finds out tomorrow and scares them?
The thin man and the old lady didn't know where Wei Kangping had gone, they only knew that he had gone to the west.
Then, the two began to move the body and clean the scene.
The two suspected that they had encountered a ghost, and they dared not raise their heads or speak.
Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng stood there, looking into the distance, waiting for Wei Kangping to come.
As a result, after waiting for more than half an hour, the ground over there had been cleaned, and Wei Kangping did not come.
The two looked at each other and decided to follow in that direction.
That thin man Yang Sheng was tied to a tree with the old lady, and then followed Shen Fengming all the way west.
After walking for about a mile, the two suddenly saw a burden on the ground.
Open it, and there are gold and silver jewelry inside.
This can't be Wei Kangping's, what about others?
The two continued to move forward with their bags, but no one was found, so they had to turn back with their bags.
"This is the burden of the boss." The thin and small man recognized a silver bag in the burden, which was obtained by defrauding Liu Shi.
"Then where did he go?" Yang Sheng asked.
The skinny man didn't know either. It stands to reason that Wei Kangping couldn't give up his money and leave by himself, unless...
"Interesting." Yang Sheng said, he looked at Shen Fengming and said, "Remember the case I showed you? The magistrate of Yuming County disappeared just like that, and was only discovered a month later, tsk tsk, it's too miserable."
"The first one to disappear was Cao Shilang from Luzhou. Three years ago, when Ding You was at home, he went to the temple to offer incense, and then he disappeared." Shen Fengming said.
"Is there such a thing? I thought only Yuming County had died." Yang Sheng asked.
Shen Fengming glanced at him, if it was only a county magistrate in Yuming County, how could the emperor agree to let the two of them leave Beijing. He consulted many files and found that this matter was not that simple.
"Then, the murderer may also come to Wuling County now?" Yang Sheng asked.
"Not sure." Shen Fengming replied, there was too little information.
"I hope so." Yang Sheng said, so that they don't have to go to Yuming County, and Wei Kangping fell into the hands of that person, I hope he can enjoy it.
At this time, in a dark cave, Wei Kangping was woken up by a ladle of cold water. He looked at the person opposite with a fierce expression on his face. Unexpectedly, he hunted geese all day long, and today he was pecked in the eye by geese.
He wanted to get up, but found that he was tied to a big rock and couldn't move at all.
"What do you want?" he asked.
The man didn't answer, but reached out to untie his belt.
Wei Kangping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Let go of me, I promise you..."
Then he saw the thing in the man's hand, and his face was full of horror, "What are you going to do, let me go!"
The screams like killing a pig can be heard endlessly.
As soon as the city gate opened the next day, Hu Butou led the people out of the city gate and limped out.
No one was caught yesterday, the master really beat them five times each. There are still five boards to remember, because they are afraid that they will not be able to handle the errand, so they didn't call.
If you can't catch another person today, it will be ten boards.
These police officers were also jealous, and decided that they must find out those **** liars today.
At this moment, two figures ran towards them with a burden on their backs, shouting as they ran, "Help, help!"
Hu Butou immediately drew out his knife and put on a posture. He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to commit murder at the gate of the city.
At this time, a policeman next to him said, "Boss, why do these two people look so familiar?"
Don't they look familiar? Yesterday they were looking for an old lady with a mole on her nose.
The arresters were overjoyed, feeling like a pie had fallen from the sky, and quickly blocked the road to prevent the two from running away.
Then they found that they were redundant, and the two didn't want to run away at all.
When they got close, they ducked directly behind the captors, as if some terrible thing was chasing them after them.
All the arresters, look over there quickly, there is nothing there!
"Help, help." The two grabbed a few policemen, and seemed to be the only words they could say.
Detective Hu quickly took people back to report.
Meng Zhixian was walking around anxiously in the room at this moment. He didn't sleep well last night and got up very early this morning.
Hearing that he was caught, he was both surprised and delighted, and immediately went to interrogate him, and then asked Hu Butou where he caught him.
Hu Butou was full of embarrassment, "At the gate of the city."
"What's going on?" Meng Zhixian asked.
Hu Butou told the previous story, afraid that Mengzhi County would not believe it, so he asked the next policeman to tell the story quickly. In fact, the scene was too weird.
Of course Meng Zhixian believed his words, it was not surprising that anything happened where Qilinwei was, he was only worried about whether he was doing well enough!
Early this morning, a policeman came to Jiang's house and knocked on the door, telling them that they had caught two suspects and asked them to identify them and collect the money.
It's okay to recognize people, get money? Jiang Cheng and Mrs. Chen were overwhelmed with surprise, and asked the arrester, if they could really get the money?
It stands to reason that of course not so fast, even if the stolen money is found, the stolen money will not be returned to the victim until the case is over, but Mengzhi County is not in a hurry, so it decides to do everything as soon as possible.
This time Jiang Cheng, Chen Shi, and Jiang Yunzhu went to the county together. In front of the county government office, they met Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was very haggard, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and she didn't know how many times she cried yesterday.
Originally, Mrs. Chen was a little angry with her, thinking that if it wasn't for her, their family would never have gotten into such a thing. It can be seen that she is like this, and knowing that the money has been recovered, she feels sympathetic to her.
"Sister-in-law Chen, I'm sorry." Mrs. Liu said the first thing she said when she saw Mrs. Chen.
"Forget it, you didn't mean it." Chen sighed.
Liu Shi wanted to cry but couldn't cry anymore, shed all her tears yesterday.
Over there, Li Biaotou and others also came. Next to Li Biaotou was a young man, his face was very pale, his facial features were exquisite, and he had a sickly and weak feeling.
Jiang Yunzhu knew that this was probably Li Yan.
"I was the one who was too impulsive yesterday." Captain Li was a hearty guy, knowing that he wrongly blamed Jiang Cheng and the others yesterday, he immediately apologized.
"It's okay, you are also in a hurry." Jiang Cheng said.
The two men looked at each other and smiled to wipe away their grievances.
Everyone entered the county government hall together.
Hu Butou dragged the thin man and the old lady out and showed them to them.
Liu immediately recognized the old lady as the person who hit her car that day.
Apart from knowing the old lady, Li Yan also knew that the skinny man was the one who blackmailed him that day.
Signed and pledged, Mengzhi County made a verdict on their matter. The mules and Li Yan's robbed items were all returned to the Li family, nine taels of silver were given to the Jiang family, and the seventy-five taels of silver belonging to the Liu family were also returned to her.
When they came out of the county government office, everyone had smiles on their faces.
"It's a pity that the one surnamed Wei hasn't been caught yet." Chief Li said angrily.
"That's not true." Jiang Cheng's mood also relaxed a lot.
Escort Li looked at him, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to buy a mule?"
Jiang Cheng was puzzled.
Escort Li patted the mule, "Almost hit the wrong person, so for nine taels of silver, this mule will be sold to you, which is considered an apology to you. This mule is also destined to be with you."
"How can this be done?" Jiang Cheng hastily refused.
Escort Li glared, "Why not, let's do it this way!" As he said, he shoved the reins of the mule into Jiang Cheng's hands, not giving him a chance to refuse at all.
Escort Li led the men away, while Jiang Cheng led the mule, still unable to react.
However, Mrs. Chen became happy and touched the mule. She felt that Escort Li might be right. This mule was indeed related to their family. They went around and went back to their house.
The family led the mule back home and told Mr. Chen about the matter. Unlike the family's depression yesterday, the atmosphere at home today became visibly happier.
In the side room, Shen Fengming and Yang Sheng looked at each other, Yang Sheng crossed his arms and his face was full of smiles.
Shen Fengming didn't smile, but his eyes were not so cold anymore.
