This is an anti-theft stamp. The purchase ratio is less than 30%.
The anti-theft time is 24 hours.
"Then the five hundred taels of silver …?"
"After the woodshed caught fire,
Feng Su was afraid that he wouldn't be able to put out the fire in time.
The whole house was on fire.
He asked his two daughters-in-law to get the money hidden in his house. Our subordinates have been monitoring the Feng family for many days.
We know what kind of situation Madam Zhen Feng is in the Feng family.
We all sympathize with her … "The secret guard secretly glanced at Shuijing.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be angry,
He continued.
"Our subordinates took the initiative to knock out the two women.
We put them where Madam Zhen Feng passed by … "
"And we loosened the cloth bag so that Madam Zhen Feng could see the silver inside?" Shuijing raised his eyebrows.
He asked.
The secret guard quickly lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and sighed. "He can force his daughter to die for ten taels of silver."
He lost more than five hundred taels of silver all of a sudden.
Feng Su is probably going to faint from anger. However, his two daughters-in-law are not good people either. The Feng family will probably be very lively in the future. "
Shuijing thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "Isn't Feng Su a miser? How can he let his two daughters-in-law go to his room to get silver? Isn't he afraid that they will embezzle all his money?"
Family members would not enter the same house. The two sons and daughters-in-law of the Feng family looked filial because all the property of the Feng family was in the hands of Feng Su. If Feng Su didn't have a single penny, he wouldn't be thrown out of the house.
However, he definitely wouldn't be able to enjoy the treatment of the master anymore.
The secret guard replied, "According to our subordinates' investigation,
Feng Su hid the large amount of banknotes, house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds separately.
Perhaps it was to prevent others from stealing these things when he wasn't around. No one else in the Feng family knows where these things are hidden. "
Shuijing nodded in understanding. That's right. There were many suspicious people who liked to cheat others. They were afraid that they would fall into someone else's trap one day. "What about Madam Zhen Feng? Where is she now? "
"They are now in a dilapidated Guan Yu Temple on the outskirts of the city. It seems that they intend to rest for the night and continue their journey in the morning. Jia Liu is guarding nearby to ensure her safety. This subordinate came back to report to Master and ask for further instructions. "
Shuijing pondered for a while and said, "We can use the name of the caravan going to Jinling. We need a sewing lady … Let's leave this matter to Jinniang. When Madam Zhen Feng is with Jinniang, you and Jia Liu won't need to protect her anymore. "
"Yes."
After the hidden guard left, he looked at Wen Dongyan with a smirk on his face. "What do you think about this prince having someone dig out those banknotes, land deeds, house deeds, and land deeds that Feng Su secretly hid and then give them to the county magistrate?"
Wen Dongyan smirked. "A dog biting another dog … What a great show. It's just that we have to leave for Jinling tomorrow. "There was a trace of pity in his tone.
"Jinling …" Shuijing lowered his eyes to hide the bloodthirsty look in his eyes.
The Purple Mountain was full of spirit, beauty, and elegance.
Jinling, known as the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties", had been the political and cultural center of the south since ancient times. It had a strong cultural heritage and a prosperous economy. There were many talented people here, scholars, poets, and many distinguished figures. In the long river of history, there were many great scholars and good officials who ruled the country.
Because of this, Jinling was a mixed bag of good and bad people. All kinds of forces were entrenched here. Under the prosperous appearance, there was a foul atmosphere. Naturally, it was the best place for kidnappers to do business.
Madam Feng's daughter, Yinglian, was only five years old when she was kidnapped. Shuijing was speechless when he heard the reason why she was kidnapped. If Zhen Shiyin was in front of him at this moment, he would spit out a mouthful of tea.
During the Lantern Festival, there were many people. He dared to entrust his five-year-old daughter to a servant named Huo Qi while he himself stayed at home … How much trust did he have in Huo Qi to do such an incredible thing? Either he was too confident in his personal charm, or he had too high expectations of Gusu's public security.
Moreover, this Yinglian was the only daughter of the Zhen family. She was Zhen Shiyin's only child after he was over 50 years old. No matter what, she was his only bloodline. Shouldn't he protect her like an eyeball to prevent her from getting hurt? Besides, the Zhen family was the family of a local eunuch in Gusu. There should be a lot of servants and maids. Why didn't he arrange a few people to follow her but only a servant? Even if it was a small family, there should be at least two people following a child.
He didn't know what Zhen Shiyin was thinking at that time. If it wasn't for his limited IQ and his inability to see people clearly, like Jia Yucun and Feng Su … Shuijing would have thought that he did it on purpose.
As for why he wanted to harm his only child, Shuijing thought that some people were born with a different way of thinking from normal people. Naturally, the things they did were naturally incomprehensible to normal people, just like that person.
According to the investigation, the kidnapper who kidnapped the Zhen Yinglian was a habitual offender. He had been doing this for more than ten years and hadn't stopped until now.
This kidnapper was a smart person. Generally, he would only kidnap one or two children in a place and then quickly leave. He didn't want to fight. Because the number of children missing was small, the local county government didn't pay attention to it. Even if there were, the kidnapper had already gone to other places. Therefore, he hadn't failed until now.
Most of the children he kidnapped were concentrated in Jinling for business.
The situation in Jinling was complicated. Yin Guang of the Ying Tian Prefecture was quite tired from dealing with all kinds of forces. In addition, the kidnapper never kidnapped children in Jinling. What the eye doesn't see, the heart doesn't grieve over, so he had been safe and sound for many years.
However, although the kidnapper had kidnapped many children, the Yinglian was the only girl he had kidnapped from a large family. After all, the children of large families generally had many people following them. They weren't like the Yinglian's parents who didn't care. Because of this, the Yinglian's temperament and appearance were better than other children's. He thought about raising her for a few more years. When she was old enough, he would sell her to a large family for a good price. Even now, the Yinglian was still by the kidnapper's side.
Shuijing was very angry at the Ying Tian Prefecture's magistrate's inaction. He thought that if he didn't personally suffer, he wouldn't understand the pain of losing a child's family. It just so happened that the temple fair on Zijin Mountain was about to be held, so he gave orders to the shadow guards for half a day.
Shuijing was so scared that he took a step back. In his shock, he didn't have time to stop him. When he came back to his senses, the dark-faced man's forehead was already covered in blood.
Shuijing had just looked at his face. His eyebrows were lowered, his eyes were drooping, his eyes were lifeless, and his spirit was dispirited. Recently, he had indeed been harassed by villains. He was afraid that he would lose money and lose his life.
However, the dark-faced man had just said that he wanted him to save him …
This was the second person today who had come to him for help. Was it because he looked like a merciful Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering?
Shuijing was a bit narcissistic, but he wasn't narcissistic to this extent. Besides, in the past, no one had ever asked him for help when they saw him. Today was really strange.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the dark-faced man who had stopped kowtowing but was still kneeling on the ground. After a while, he said, "Tell me, what kind of trouble have you encountered?"
If the dark-faced man directly told him about his difficulties, then his purpose was mainly to ask for help and not to have his fortune told.
Shuijing was a bit puzzled. Although he didn't deliberately hide his whereabouts, if someone wanted to find out, it would be difficult. This dark-faced man looked like a poor man who worked in the fields all year round. According to common sense, he shouldn't know his identity.
However, why would the dark-faced man ask for help from a fortune teller without knowing his true identity? Shuijing had two guesses. Either the dark-faced man had gone crazy, or someone had said something behind his back to make him so certain. Shuijing was more inclined to the second possibility.
The dark-faced man clearly didn't understand the twists and turns in the story. He honestly said, "My family has lived in a ravine in the suburbs for several generations. My family has been guarding the twenty mu of land outside the door. A few days ago, I don't know where a group of ruffians came from. They took a piece of paper and said that I had sold the land and house to them. I don't know how to read, so I don't know what was written on the paper. However, I am very sure that I have never sold the land and house to anyone. It is even more impossible for my family to do so. Those people simply didn't listen to my explanation. They smashed the house and even injured my father. " He stopped to take a few breaths and angrily said, "My family relies on this land to make a living. If I move out, my family will starve to death. Those people gave me a deadline. If I don't move out by tomorrow, they will drive my family out. "
Forcibly occupying the land!
Shuijing's eyes suddenly became sharp.
People who could do this were generally people with power and influence. As long as they communicated with the government and created a fake document, the owner of the land would immediately change. This was especially true for people like the dark-faced man who lived in the ravine in the suburbs. Every household was far away, so if something happened to them, no one would know. Those ruffians would first symbolically inform the dark-faced man and put on airs. If the dark-faced man wasn't willing to submit to power and insisted on not moving out, they would kill his entire family and throw the bodies into the mountains. No one would know that they were dead for eight to ten years. Even if someone asked later, they could say that they were given time to move out. They wouldn't know where they moved to. Moreover, officials protected each other. They wouldn't offend someone they couldn't afford to offend for a few commoners.
Sure enough, the dark-faced man said, "I went to report it to the government, but I was driven out before I could even enter the yamen. I had nowhere to go, so I could only … "He suddenly closed his mouth and didn't say another word.
"Could only what?" Shuijing looked at him and knew that what he was about to say was related to him coming to find him. "What did you do after that?"
The dark-faced man's voice became small again. "I, I came to find you."
Shuijing leaned back in his chair. "If you tell me the truth, I will guarantee the safety of your land, house, and even your family. How about it?"
The dark-faced man's face tensed up, but his mouth was still tightly shut.
Shuijing was very patient as he played with the thumb ring on his thumb.
Time slowly passed. The dark-faced man, who was worried about his family's livelihood, couldn't hold it in anymore. He said in a low voice, "I just went to Mr. Ge to have my fortune read. He said that unless a noble person helped me, my family would be in danger." The dark-faced man carefully glanced at Shuijing. "He was the one who told me to come find you."
