They knew what Jiang Pengji wanted them to do.
If their family followed the smoke and found that the kidnapped noble ladies were listless and disheveled, they would definitely let their imagination run wild. When they went back to explain, even if they proved that they were innocent, there would still be people who would slander them in private.
Jiang Pengji looked into the distance and suddenly said, "Those useless things have finally found us …"
"How did you know?" The sky was bright, and Feng Jin could see Jiang Pengji's face clearly.
He had to admit that he had been lucky to be able to see through her disguise last night.
Jiang Pengji had changed into a new set of clothes and tied her hair up. She looked like a delicate and elegant young man.
"The birds over there are panicking … and they're approaching us. It's very likely that they're the guards."
Jiang Pengji said with certainty, but she felt a little regretful.
If it were her old self, she would have been able to see the shadows moving in the distance. If she had the help of tools, she would have been able to see further. Unfortunately, Liu Lanting's body was not strong enough, so she could only judge from the birds.
Feng Jin thought about it and asked, "Then … Should I and my guards stay away for a while?"
All of them were men. Even though Jiang Pengji was also a "man" and had stayed outside the house the whole night, she was still considered a stranger. If someone used this to slander the noble ladies, it would damage their reputation.
Jiang Pengji thought about it and nodded in agreement. "I didn't think it through. I'm sorry, Huaiyu."
That was how harsh the ancient times were. Jiang Pengji's good mood turned gloomy when she thought about it.
"Which family do you belong to?"
Jiang Pengji asked. Seeing that Feng Jin and the others had moved away, Jiang Pengji appeared in front of the guards.
After searching for a whole night, everyone was tired and hungry. The leader of the guards, a plump middle-aged man, wiped his sweat and tried his best to identify them.
"You are? Liu Langjun! "
Everyone knew that other than the missing girls, the second son of the Liu family, Liu Lanting, was also there.
He widened his eyes and realized that the handsome young man standing in front of him was none other than the Liu Family's Langjun who had been missing for a day and a night!
"I'm the steward of the Wei Mansion …" The slightly plump man raised his hand and wiped his sweat with his sleeve. His eyes were bloodshot from staying up all night. Peng had finally found someone, but now he was so anxious that he was about to cry. "My wife and Liu Langjun were kidnapped … Langjun …"
The housekeeper of the Wei manor was about to grab Jiang Pengji's hands, but he quickly figured out what was strange …
Jiang Pengji smiled and said, "So it's Jing 'er's housekeeper. Don't worry, your wife is fine."
"This, this … Langjun … How can you make fun of me at a time like this …" The steward didn't seem to believe her.
"Come with me. Jing 'er and the others are safe. They were just a little frightened and need to rest for a few days. 【Love ↑ Go △ Small ↓ Say △ Net
】”
Jiang Pengji glanced at the tired servants behind her and suppressed the urge to ridicule them.
The steward of the Wei manor knew that Liu Lanting and Wei Jingxian were engaged, and the two families had frequent interactions. Even though he was an inconspicuous steward, he could recognize Liu Lanting's face. But for some reason, he felt that the situation was a little strange …
"I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to find them, so I lit a bonfire for the whole day. When I saw the birds in the forest being startled, I knew that someone was coming. "
Even though they looked pitiful, their efficiency was so low that it made one's hair stand on end.
"Jing 'er and the ladies from the other manors are in that room … But for the sake of your reputation, send the maids in."
Jiang Pengji calmly stepped into the bandits' hideout. The steward and the servants behind her almost fell flat on their faces.
To maximize the effect, Jiang Pengji asked Feng Jin's guards to help move the bandits' corpses out to dry on the ground. The corpses were piled up in a mess. The blood on their bodies had already dried up, so everyone who entered could see the spectacular scene.
"Liu … Liu Langjun … These … these … are …"
The steward was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. He looked at Liu Lanting, who was calm and silent, with fear in his eyes.
Could it be … that his wife had already been killed a long time ago, and the Liu Langjun in front of him was also a malicious spirit, but just like the other noble ladies, she was filled with resentment and turned into a malicious spirit that night, killing all the bandits who had harmed them. That was why … the current scene was happening?
"Those bandits, those audacious fellows, they should pay for their actions. For example, losing their lives or something."
Jiang Pengji did not turn around. She casually answered, but she noticed that the people behind her had stopped. "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
The steward looked like he was about to collapse. He lay on the ground and cried, "Liu Langjun … You died so unjustly …"
Jiang Pengji secretly complained in her heart, "… I don't really understand the brain structure and circuitry of ancient humans …"
The System said, "No. Maybe they were just misled by you and were scared out of their wits."
No one doubted the fate of the kidnapped noble ladies.
Even if they were still searching, they were mentally prepared to find a bunch of corpses. Some of the families had even started to prepare for their funeral.
But what happened? Not only did Jiang Pengji appear in clean clothes, but there was also a pile of bandits' corpses in the den. Was that not scary?
Wei Jingxian heard the familiar voice of the steward and almost cried with joy. "It's the steward from the manor. They found us."
"Hmph, what a bunch of useless people. If brother Lanting had not lit the bonfire outside for so long, who knows when they would have found us." Shangguan Wan pouted angrily. "Maybe they would have waited for the weeds on their graves to grow three feet high …"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who taught you to say such nonsense?" Wei Jingxian stopped her from spouting nonsense. "It's inauspicious."
Not long after, the stewards and servants of other families came to find them. They all had the same reaction when they saw the pile of corpses.
The sun in the sky was warm, and they were wearing quite a lot of clothes, but there was a strange feeling of coldness that seeped into their bones.
Jiang Pengji waited for half a day. The families of the other noblewomen had all arrived. Even the Hejian County Chief had crawled up the stairs with the help of his servants. Liu Lanting's family was nowhere to be found. That was strange.
"These … these are the bandits who were killed?"
The Governor of Hejian County wiped his sweat and breathed heavily like a cow. Looking at those corpses, he couldn't help but shiver and his legs were trembling. If it were not for the people beside him holding him up, he would have fallen to the ground.
Jiang Pengji cupped her hands and replied, "Yesterday, I was accidentally kidnapped by thieves. After thinking hard, I found a solution. I secretly stirred up their internal strife and took the opportunity to kill them one by one. That's how I was able to protect the noble ladies' reputation."
The Hejian Prefecture Chief was in disbelief when he heard that Jiang Pengji had killed the bandits. Then he felt goosebumps all over his body.
The Prefecture Chief's eyebrows were so tightly knitted that they could kill a fly. He called Jiang Pengji over and asked, "Come forward and tell me what happened."
