Shui Jing had just finished his dinner when he heard a good show. The secret guard sent to protect Madame Zhen Feng described the ugly faces of the Feng Family and Madame Zhen Feng's struggle to survive after being pushed to the brink of death. Shui Jing was stupefied by the story.
"Did you set the fire?" He asked curiously.
"Master, you said that no matter what, we must ensure Madame Zhen Feng's safety." The secret guard replied in a low voice, "The people of the Feng family were indeed frightened at first, but when they came to their senses, the scissors were of little use. We saw that the situation was urgent, so we acted on our own initiative. Please punish us. "
"Then the five hundred taels of silver …?"
"After the firewood room was on fire, Feng Su was afraid that the whole room would burn down, so he asked his two daughters-in-law to take the money hidden in his room. We have been monitoring the Feng family for many days, so we knew what Madame Zhen Feng was like in the Feng family. We all sympathized with her … "The secret guard secretly glanced at Shuijing. Seeing that he was not angry, he continued," We acted on our own initiative and knocked the two women out and put them in the place where Madame Zhen Feng passed by … "
"And loosened the cloth bag so that Madame Zhen Feng could see the money inside?" Shuijing raised his eyebrows and asked.
The secret guard hurriedly lowered his head and said nothing.
Wen Dongyan waved his goose feather fan and sighed, "He forced his daughter to die for ten taels of silver. Now he lost more than five hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid that Feng Su will faint from anger. But his two daughters-in-law are not good people either. I'm afraid that the Feng family will be very lively in the future. "
Shuijing thought for a while and asked confusedly, "Isn't Feng Su a miser? How can he let his two daughters-in-law take the money from his room? Isn't he afraid that they will embezzle all his money?"
It was a family that did not belong to the same family. 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 copper coin left, although he wouldn't be thrown out of the house, he definitely wouldn't be able to enjoy the master's treatment anymore.
The shadow guard replied, "According to our investigation, Feng Su hid large amounts of banknotes, house deeds, land deeds, and land deeds separately. Perhaps it was to prevent others from stealing these things while he was away. No one else in the Feng family knows where these things are hidden. "
Shuijing nodded in understanding. That was more like it. People who liked to trick others were very suspicious. They were afraid that they would fall into someone else's trap one day. "What about Zhenfeng? Where are you 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 has come back to report to Master and ask for further instructions. "
Shuijing thought 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 Zhenfeng arrives at Jinniang's side, you and Jia Liu won't need to protect her anymore. "
"Yes."
After the shadow guard left, he looked at Wen Dongyan with a smirk, "What do you think about this prince having people dig out the banknotes, land deeds, house deeds, and land deeds that Feng Su secretly hid and give them to the county magistrate?"
Wen Dongyan raised the corner of his lips, "A dog biting another dog … What a great show. But, we have to set off for Jinling tomorrow. "There was a trace of pity in his voice.
"Jinling, ah …" Shuijing lowered his eyes and hid the bloodthirsty look that flashed through his eyes.
The Purple Mountain was full of spirit, beauty, and elegance.
Jinling was known as the "Ancient Capital of the Six Dynasties". Since ancient times, it had been the political and cultural center of the south. It had a rich cultural heritage and a prosperous economy. Talented people came out in large numbers here. There were scholars, poets, and many distinguished figures. In the long river of history, there were countless great scholars and good officials who ruled the country.
Because of this, Jinling was a mix of crooks and honest 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.
Zhenfeng'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 so 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 own charisma, or he had too high expectations of Gusu City's public security.
Moreover, this Yinglian was the only daughter of the Zhen family. She was Zhen Shiyin's only child when he was more than 50 years old. She was his only child. 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 weren't for his limited IQ and his inability to recognize people, such as Jia Yucun and Feng Su … Shuijing would think 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 one place and then quickly leave. He would never continue to fight. Because the number of children lost was small, the local county government didn't pay much attention to the kidnappers. Even if they did, the kidnapper would have already gone to other places. Thus, he hadn't failed until now.
Most of the children he kidnapped were sold in Jinling.
The situation in Jinling was complicated. Yin Guang of the Ying Tian Mansion 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 was safe and sound for many years.
However, although the kidnapper had kidnapped many children, the Yinglian was the only daughter of a large family he had kidnapped. After all, the children of large families usually 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 still followed the kidnapper.
