"What's going on?"
Jiang Pengji had just finished her breakfast. She meditated for a while and then turned on the streaming room. She greeted the audience as usual.
On the way to the study room, she saw two servants whispering to each other by the rockery. One of them was crying and looked very sad.
Her five senses were very good, but they were also troublesome.
To deal with this flaw, Jiang Pengji would usually suppress her five senses to keep them at half the level of ordinary people.
She was a bit far away, so she only heard some words like "city gate", "someone died", and "someone was injured".
The servants were all panicked when they saw Jiang Pengji. It was still working time, so how could they not be flustered when they were caught slacking? The Liu's had its own rules and regulations. After County Chief Liu came back, he became more strict and did not allow anyone to slack off.
"Don't be so flustered. Tell me, what happened at the city gate?" Jiang Pengji faced the middle-aged woman who had been crying secretly. "I'm not an unreasonable person. I won't blame you if you have a reason for chatting."
The middle-aged woman grabbed her sleeves nervously and said sadly, "This morning, my mother and father entered the city together. We didn't expect a group of strong men who claimed to be from the Meng's of Cangzhou to break in. They rode their horses and injured people. My father tried to protect my mother and one of his legs was trampled by a horse …"
Jiang Pengji's face turned serious, and the audience in the streaming room expressed their shock.
Mingyue Tianya: "Oh my god, did I hear it wrong?"
Armstrong: "Why do I feel that all the people and things that the streamer has been in contact with recently are related to the Meng's?"
Yiye Chengzhou: "The Meng's are too arrogant. They even dared to break into the city gate. Do they want to die?"
"Since your father was injured, I guess you must be anxious now and have no mood to work. Go to the cashier and get an extra month's salary to buy some nourishing tonics for your father. He is old and will not recover as quickly as young people. "
The servant heard that and suddenly burst into tears. She thanked Jiang Pengji repeatedly.
After she left, Jiang Pengji looked at another servant who came to deliver a message. Her eyes turned cold.
"Come here and tell me what happened at the city gate this morning. Be as specific as possible." Jiang Pengji had expected Meng Liang's entourage to come, but she didn't expect them to come so quickly and so arrogantly. They even let their horses hurt people, and it seemed like they even killed them.
It was a servant woman who came to deliver the news. She was a servant of the Liu Residence, but she didn't live in the Liu Residence. She usually worked in a secluded area in the outer yard and was very idle. After she was done with her own work, she still had time to gossip about the rumors in the marketplace. She could be considered the gossip center of the entire Liu Residence.
Although she wasn't present, as a gossip girl, her storytelling skills were quite good. She narrated it vividly.
"Are you sure someone died?" Jiang Pengji asked. Her eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent. Her impression of the Meng's dropped by half.
The servant woman gestured with her hands and said, "That's right. There were more than a few who were trampled to death by the horse's hooves. There was also a beautiful girl who was of marriageable age and followed her mother into the city to buy some red hair ropes. Who would have thought that this would happen … Everyone says that the man surnamed Meng is the local tyrant of Cangzhou. He can't even control the current officials. Now that I see it, it's true."
Jiang Pengji glared at her coldly and said, "How dare you say something like that? Don't take your life!"
The maidservant came back to her senses and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly bent down and begged for mercy.
"It's good that you have a long memory. Trouble comes from the mouth. It doesn't matter if you die or not, but don't drag the entire Liu Residence into it." Jiang Pengji waved her hand and gestured for her to leave. "Since there's a reason for this, I won't make trouble for you this time. Don't leave your post without permission in the future."
The bullet screen in the livestream room flashed past her eyes one after another. Some of them were like "hahaha", while others were like "lololol".
Raising a chestnut: "The host's behavior is typical. Only the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps. I remember that she named the royal family of Dongqing by name. When the servant said so, she scolded her with a straight face, hoping that the maidservant would be traumatized. "
Raising a chestnut: "If not, how can she be a match for the domineering host?"
Raising two chestnuts: "The only host who is domineering and capricious but still not pleasing to the eye."
Tang Roasted Chestnut: "No … Now isn't the point that the Meng's are arrogant? They broke the city gate with horses and killed people?"
Obviously, there were viewers who were willing to understand the plot of the livestream, but only a few. Most of them were there to watch the host.
"The Meng's …"
Jiang Pengji could imagine the bloody chaos at the city gate in the early morning just by simulating it in her mind.
In the future, the first ones to be destroyed will be the Meng's!
She suddenly opened her eyes, turned around, and left the Liu Residence. She got on the carriage and asked the groom to drive her to Fulai Gambling House.
Before he could even get close, the stench of blood had already entered his nose.
Everyone's blood was slightly different. People with a keen sense of smell could even distinguish a lot of information by smell, such as how many people had died and how long they had been dead … That was her level in her previous life. In this life, she had only fused a little, so she was not that good.
However, based on her rich experience, the number of people who had died was definitely not less than 50!
Jiang Pengji's face turned cold. She said to the groom, "Go a little further and see what happened …"
The coachman drove the carriage forward a little. A group of people surrounded the entrance of the gambling house. One by one, people dressed in bailiffs uniforms carried out the corpses covered with white cloth. The blood had yet to coagulate, and it dripped onto the ground. Everyone's faces turned pale when they saw it.
"They … were all killed …"
Jiang Pengji clenched her fists. At that moment, her expression was unprecedentedly cold. The System, which was one with her, wanted to reduce its sense of existence to zero, for fear that Jiang Pengji would think of it … No, I really can't stand the angry aura of the host.
The almost stagnant atmosphere did not last long. Jiang Pengji loosened her fists and opened her eyes, which were clear and bright again.
"Go and ask them what exactly happened."
The coachman got off the carriage and asked. Jiang Pengji lifted the curtain. The bailiffs inside were still moving the corpses. One of them was carrying a large bag of bloody things. Fresh blood stained the coarse cloth and dripped down continuously. The bag contained the broken limbs of other corpses. Jiang Pengji was shocked.
Actually, Jiang Pengji did not need the groom to ask. She could piece together a complete picture based on the discussions of the onlookers.
A group of strong men in armor, with big knives at their waists and long whips in their hands, entered the gambling house. Not long after, the people inside were all dead.
"Hey … You mean … the killers and the group at the city gate … are they in cahoots?"
Someone said mysteriously. He did not dare to raise his voice, for fear of being targeted by the group of killers.
"They must be in cahoots. Someone saw them break through the city gate and go straight to this gambling house …"
"A life for a life. These executioners should be executed …"
