After crossing a street, several figures stopped in front of an alley, where several families lived, including Jinping's family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"The third house on the left is, I have ordered them to be tied up." Shen Nan said.
Shen Jingyi nodded, and after Shen Nan knocked on the door a few times, several people were put in by the people inside.
The yard is not large, there is a well, and there is a tree, and there is a dilapidated bamboo chair under the tree.
Some traces of damage can be seen on the doors and windows, this is Jinping's home.
When they arrived at the hall, there were five people kneeling on the ground, and in front of them stood two tall middle-aged men, with large knives hanging from their waists, and their bodies were obviously full of military spirit.
Probably Shen Nan's subordinates.
Shen Jingyi walked up to the people and saw that they were all stuffed with cloth in their mouths, she looked at it and decided to start with the woman, so she glanced at Mama Xie, and Mama Xie reached out to remove the cloth from the woman's mouth.
She asked, "Jinping is your daughter?" ā
The woman replied in a trembling voice, "Yes, yes......
"I heard that your family bought a yard on South Street today?"
"This ......" The woman lowered her head, not daring to answer, Shen Jingyi raised her voice, "Yes or no?" ā
The woman's figure shook and she almost fell to the ground.
Xu is her coercion, although her whole person is wrapped in a cloak, but judging from her temperament, she knows that her identity must not be simple.
Just, why do you ask her this?
There was a faint sense of unease in the woman's heart.
Shen Jingyi was angry and clenched her palms, "I don't have the patience to wait for you to answer slowly, from now on, if you hesitate, I will chop off one of his fingers." She pointed to her son.
"No, girl, woman, woman, I say ......" She was tied up, kowtowed, "The woman's family did buy a yard on South Street." ā
"Who gave you the money to buy the yard?"
"Yes...... The woman's daughter. ā
"How much for you?"
"One, one thousand taels ......"
The corners of Shen Jingyi's mouth under the cloak were hooked, a thousand taels, and betrayed her? It seems that she is really cheap!
"Do you know where Jinping's money comes from?"
The woman was obviously stunned and shook her head, "Woman, woman doesn't know ......"
"I don't know?" She tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Is it true that I don't know or whether it's false?" ā
"Really, I really don't know ......"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, OK ......"
Shen Jingyi's gaze swept over several other people, and they obviously flinched, avoiding her gaze.
"Mama, cut off her son's fingers, one by one, when to tell the truth, when to stop."
Her voice was not loud, but it was full of coldness, which made the expressions of the few people kneeling on the ground change greatly, and they immediately struggled.
"Don't...... Girl, don't...... The woman didn't lie, she didn't lie...... "She wanted to move to her, but she was kicked away by Mama Xie.
The others were about to get into a mess, but the two men on the side saw this, and they were settled down in just three or two clicks.
Mama Xie wanted to make a move, but Shen Nan stopped, pulled out her sword, and glanced at one of the men.
The rope on the woman's son was cut, but the person was trampled on the ground, Shen Nan did not delay, and the long sword only heard the woman's son whining a few times in the blink of an eye.
On the ground, a severed finger with blood appeared.
The struggling people were trampled tightly.
"No...... Girl, I beg you, let us go......" the woman kowtowed.
Shen Jingyi's face was expressionless, "I want me to let you go, you can," she said: "Jinping betrayed his master, regretted killing himself, and you, Ming'er, went to the Zhongyong Mansion early in the morning to admit to poisoning the master and stealing silver tickets for Jinping." ā
"W-What?" The woman froze, "You said Jinping, what's wrong with her?" ā
Shen Jingyi didn't bother to answer her, so Mama Xie said: "She betrayed her master, and she has already apologized for her crimes, and the master has saved you from punishment for her loyalty, otherwise, you can still stay here safe and sound?" ā
"Impossible, how could my daughter die? How could she possibly ......"
"Mama, except for her, take everyone else away, if the pearl is safe, they will be safe, if the pearl can't clear the charge, then there is no need for them to exist."
Shen Jingyi said lightly, her eyes turned to the old woman with pleading eyes, and she did not soften because of this.
Shen Zhuo wanted Pearl's life, that is, he wanted to cut off her right-hand arm and poison her, but he just wanted to force the old lady to dispose of Pearl.
In this case, she wants to keep the pearl, and wants her to give up, but it is impossible.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to threaten Jinping's family, the son and father tasted the debt, Jinping betrayed her, so let her family repay it.
Coming out of the small courtyard, Shen Jingyi pressed the corners of her eyebrows, a little in good spirits. Shen Nan hugged her at the right time and said worriedly, "Can you still go?" ā
Jingyi nodded, "I'm fine, let's go back quickly!" ā
Shen Nan pursed his lips, suddenly stepped forward, bent over and carried her back, he tilted his head slightly, "If you are tired, lean on me and sleep for a while, and I will call you when it comes." ā
Shen Jingyi smiled, "Hmm......" She put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
In the silence of the night, only the sound of unhurried footsteps remained, and there was a echo from the empty alley.
Back at the leisurely residence, Shen Jingyi was already asleep, Shen Nan put her on the bed and let Mama Xie take off her shoes and cover her with a thin quilt.
"Mama, take a step to speak." Shen Nan said.
Mama Xie was blessed, "Yes......"
The two went outside, and the vigil avoided them. Shen Nan stood with his hands in his hands, reflecting the moonlight, and said, "What happened today?" ā
Mama Xie covered her heart, "It's really shocking today." So saying, she told him everything. It should be brief, it should be detailed, in short, although Shen Nan's face was calm, but with Mama Xie's narration, his eyes became more and more gloomy.
After finishing speaking, he said lightly: "So, this matter was instructed by Shen Zhuo?" ā
"Yes, the words that the sixth master said, let alone Miss, even the slave maid felt shuddered."
"I know, you go back and guard!" After Shen Nan finished speaking, he left the leisurely residence.
He did not go back to his yard, but walked in the other direction.
After a while, he stopped in front of the door and kicked open the courtyard door that had been closed.
There was also a night watchman in the courtyard, and she was startled when she heard the sound, "Who is there?" ā
The maid asked sharply.
Shen Nan gradually appeared in the light, making the maid stunned, "Second master? She hurriedly said: "The slave has seen the second master, it's so late, the second master, you ......."
"Get out of the ......"
"Second master?"
"Master told you to get out-"
The maid trembled, and didn't dare to say any more, so she had to bite her lip and stop.
Shen Nan went directly into the main room and kicked open the door of the inner room. (To be continued.) )
