142. Punish evil
The depth and coldness of Lou Haiyang's eyes were like a thousand pounds of hammer smashed on Yu Fengxian's heart, and he trembled involuntarily, and explained with his head slightly lowered: "The slave family has no other meaning, but I just want to set up immortal cards for a few benefactors, and burn incense in the morning and evening to pray for the happiness and health of several benefactors!" ”
"No need." Situ Jingyu put down his chopsticks and said tepidly: "If the shopkeeper has nothing else, please leave." ”
It is obvious that the girl is the master, how dare a slave be so unruly in front of the master?
Suppressing the doubts in her heart, Yu Fengxian smiled and said: "Don't be angry with a few benefactors, although a woman from the slave family doesn't understand any big truth, she also knows how 'a little bit of grace should be repaid by a spring', a few benefactors saved the slave cousin, but the slave family didn't even know the name of a few benefactors, I really have a disturbed conscience, and I ask the young lady to be considerate of the slave family's heart to repay the kindness." ”
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, taking the water handed by Mo Xuan and rinsing his mouth, Qingyun raised his eyes to look at Yu Fengxian with a sincere face: "With a lot of effort, the shopkeeper doesn't have to mind, not to mention how can the woman's name be told by outsiders at will?" It's not early, we have to hurry tomorrow, and the shopkeeper should go back to take good care of Cousin Ling. ”
Yu Fengxian still didn't give up: "Miss......"
"Cousin, I can't find you anywhere, so you're here."
Su Jingru walked in like a weak wind supporting a willow, glared at Yu Fengxian without a trace, and then bowed to Qingyun and a few people: "A few benefactors, please forgive me, my cousin has been stubborn since she was a child, and she admits death in everything, if there is any offense, I will compensate a few benefactors here, please don't worry about my cousin." ”
"The slave family was reckless for a while, and I offended several benefactors, I'm really sorry." Yu Fengxian hurriedly apologized, but her heart was extremely resentful and resentful.
"It doesn't matter." Slowly shaking the teacup in his hand, his clear eyes flowed back and forth between the two, his face was indifferent and cold, and his eyes were so calm and gentle that people couldn't see any emotion: "I appreciate the shopkeeper's stubbornness, after all, a person's life is too short, and he must be persistent to live in vain, otherwise it will be too boring, Miss Su said yes?" Besides, the shopkeeper is also because of Miss Su, I understand, so naturally I won't blame it. ”
"Thank you, Miss, for your magnanimity!" Su Jingru said softly: "Those benefactors have a good rest, and our cousins will leave first. After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Yu Fengxian out of the room, and then the shopkeeper came in and took away the dishes and chopsticks.
Lowering his eyes and looking at the tea leaves that sink and float in the tea, the corners of Qingyun's lips pulled out a sneer: "Everything is arranged?" ”
"Back to the master, everything is ready, just wait for them to fall into the net!" There was a silent sound in the cold air.
"Good." Putting down the teacup, Qingyun got up and walked to the window, looking at the half-moon in the dark sky, the deep eyes as deep as ink were bottomless, faintly glowing with cold and quiet light.
And Su Jingru, who dragged Yu Fengxian back to the backyard wing, slapped her hard, Yu Fengxian almost couldn't bear it and almost fell, her beautiful right face suddenly became red and swollen, it hurt hotly, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth.
"Do you dare to make a bad decision behind the back of this envoy, and turn a deaf ear to what this envoy said?"
Covering her red and swollen cheeks, Yu Fengxian was sincerely frightened: "The envoy spares his life, I am also confused for a while." Ran was inexplicably panicked in her heart: Could it be that she knew what she had said? But she hid it so well, how could she find out?
"Confused?" Since they met, that woman has always treated her without pretense, but she has appreciated Yu Fengxian with courtesy, how can she not be jealous and angry? You must know that she is the most capable talent around her master, how can she lose to such a person? Especially this product is so stupid.
Su Jingru smiled coldly: "One of your innkeepers repeatedly asked them about their identities and origins, do you want to arouse their vigilance, and then suspect your true identity and motives?" What a fool! ”
"Feng Xian knows his mistakes, he won't act so recklessly again!" After so many years of contact with people from three religions and nine streams, Yu Fengxian naturally heard the jealousy and unwillingness in Su Jingru's tone, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief and was full of ridicule and pride at the same time, it turned out that it was just because the woman praised her.
However, she couldn't understand why the woman would say it in front of the envoy. After all, the woman seemed to have a cold temperament, and it didn't seem like she would easily appreciate someone.
Glancing at Yu Fengxian, who was submissive, Su Jingru had undisguised disgust in her eyes: "Okay, before they leave, you must not act rashly, otherwise you will wait for the thunder and anger of the master and go down." ”
"Remember." Yu Fengxian stepped back and closed the door with her hand.
In the middle of the night, everything is quiet, a few sparse stars flickering in the dark sky, the cold moonlight seems to spread a layer of silver veil on the earth, hazy and beautiful, the night breeze is blowing, and the lights of every house are extinguished, vaguely revealing a bit of gloom.
A few black shadows sneakily came to the door of Qingyun and a few people, and after carefully looking around, three of them each took out a slender bamboo pipe and pierced the window paper, blew on the bamboo pipe, and then left lightly as they came.
"Come on, surround the inn, and never let go of a bandit."
As a high-pitched voice sounded, hundreds of officials with torches and blades quickly poured into the Fu Inn, blocking the front and back doors of the inn.
This movement naturally woke up the resting residents, and they all quickly dressed and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but they were all ordered to stay in the room and not go out, but they couldn't help the doubts in their hearts and poked their heads to look at the hall downstairs.
In the hall, a middle-aged man wearing a green official uniform embroidered with an emu pattern stood in the center with his hands in his hands, with big ears on his side, a pair of shrewd and deep eyes flashing under his broad thick eyebrows, and his mustache was black and thick: "This official came to arrest the thieves who killed people and oversold goods in Yinshan, and all irrelevant people avoided it." ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly changed drastically: The thieves who killed people and oversold goods in Yinshan lived in the Laifu Inn?
And Yu Fengxian had already walked in front of the man in a charming manner, and said with fear and relief on her beautiful face: "Master Wu, you can come." ”
"Where are the bandits?"
"The second floor of the Tianzi room."
Qingshi Town is under the jurisdiction of Yongxing County, and this man is Wu Qiyuan, the county commander of Yongxing County: "Quickly take this official to arrest the bandits." ”
"Yes." Yu Fengxian guided Wu Qiyuan and the others to the door of the light cloud room: "Master Wu, this is it." After speaking, he retreated not far away, and his eyes flashed with a faint light.
These dozens of pairs of eyes saw Lord Wu escorting those people away, and naturally they were confirmed that they were thieves who killed people and oversold goods, and then killed them silently on the road, even if the court investigated them, there was no proof of death.
In this way, not only can the master's wish be achieved, but also the Yin Feng Village can be preserved, and she can also leave this ghost place, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
"Someone, knock the door open!"
Just as the two officials were about to bang on the door on Wu Qiyuan's order, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Qingyun and Mo Xuan walked out side by side.
The same white clothes and black hair like snow, the same cold and indifferent face, but the noble and fierce temperament exuded by the whole body, especially the two pairs of eyes that are as deep as the abyss, made everyone involuntarily feel awe, and lowered their voices to discuss.
"They are the thieves who killed people and sold goods in Yinshan? Why doesn't it look like it? ”
"Yes, I heard that those thieves all killed people without blinking, but this woman looks clearly weak and can't help it, how can it be a bandit?"
"That's not necessarily, the so-called people can't be good-looking, who knows if she deliberately pretended to be weak to deceive people?"
"That's right, the bad guys didn't have the word 'bad guys' engraved on their faces, otherwise how could the county magistrate send someone to arrest them?" ……
Hearing everyone's discussions, Qingyun stared straight at Wu Qiyuan, who had gloomy eyes, his eyebrows were always indifferent and cold, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised as if he was smiling.
"Bold thieves, dare to seek wealth and kill in broad daylight, this official wants to eliminate harm for the people tonight, maintain local peace, come and put these two people in prison!"
"I'd like to see who dares to touch her?"
Mo Xuan flashed in front of Qingyun, and his body burst out with a cold murderous aura, which frightened the two officials who were about to come forward to arrest them, and they stood firmly in place and didn't dare to move.
"What a good one to eliminate harm for the people! Good a place to maintain tranquility! ”
Glancing at Wu Qiyuan, whose complexion changed several times, Qingyun asked without hesitation: "Lord Wu said that we are thieves who seek money and kill people, what is the evidence?" ”
"You killed Yu's cousin's family, she is the witness."
"As we all know, thieves kill people without blinking, if we are really thieves, since we killed Yu's cousin's family, why do we still leave her alive and even send her back? Aren't you worried that she will report to Lord Wu and wait for Lord Wu to come and arrest her like she is now? If you were Woo-sama, would you be so stupid? ”
Wu Qiyuan was annoyed and embarrassed when he heard this: "Naturally, it is because you covet the beauty of Yu's cousin, and even more so to coerce her to extort money from Yu. ”
"Miss Ben is a woman, what do you do to covet her beauty? And she still thinks she's too dirty for Miss Ben's cousin and her family! Qingyun smiled coldly: "As for extorting money from the Yu family, this hosta worn by Miss Ben alone is enough to buy more than forty Laifu Inns, let me ask, does Miss Ben need to go to great lengths to blackmail a small Laifu Inn shopkeeper?" ”
"This, this ......"
"Master Wu said that Yu's cousin is a human witness, so let her come out and explain the incident to everyone in person, and according to the law of our dynasty, you must have all the human and material evidence to be convicted, where is the evidence of Lord Wu?"
Looking at the light clouds that were as clean as ice and snow, but also as cold as ice and snow, Wu Qiyuan felt inexplicably frightened in his heart for some reason, and was speechless under the gaze of those eyes that seemed to be able to understand people's hearts.
Seeing that Qingyun was just a few words, Wu Qiyuan was overwhelmed, and Yu Fengxian, who was not far away, couldn't help but be anxious and flustered: Why hasn't the head of the house come yet?
"Master Wu, don't listen to her clever words, the cousin of the slave family was seriously injured by them and is still unconscious, they ......"
"Yu, Miss Ben advises you to be cautious." Interrupting Yu Fengxian coldly, she said with a flickering gaze: "Three hours ago, everyone saw us send your cousin to the inn, she was conscious at that time, an hour and a half ago, she and you also sent dinner to Miss Ben's guest room, and she was in good spirits when she left, how do you say that she is still unconscious?" ”
As soon as Qingyun's words fell, the residents said that they had indeed seen it with their own eyes, and at the same time condemned Yu Fengxian for distorting the facts.
"Don't listen to her nonsense!" In the face of everyone's sharp words, Yu Fengxian's beautiful face suddenly turned red, in order to prevent the envoy from sabotaging her plan, she gave the envoy a full drug, the envoy was still unconscious at this time, how could she come forward?
"Master Wu, they still have four accomplices, and the slave family knows where the physical evidence of their murder and stealing goods is placed."
Wu Qiyuan, who was at a loss for what to think, suddenly had his eyes lit up when he heard it: "Tell me quickly, where are the accomplices?" Where is the physical evidence? ”
"In the next room, they not only brutally killed the entire family of the slave uncle, but also took the treasures of the uncle's family as their own, and Lord Wu knew it when he checked it."
As soon as Wu Qiyuan gave the order, several officials hurriedly knocked open the door next door, but the room was empty, only six or seven boxes.
Looking at the boxes that the official laboriously carried out, Wu Qiyuan turned his eyes to look at the light cloud with a calm face like water, and his slender eyes flashed with a gloomy light: "Miss doesn't mind if the official opens the box for inspection, right?" ”
Qingyun raised her eyebrows disapprovingly: "Lord Wu, please." ”
The box was opened, and when he saw that there was no treasure in it except for stones, there was no treasure that Yu Fengxian said, Wu Qiyuan's expression froze.
And Yu Fengxian's face instantly turned pale, staring at the boxes full of stones with wide eyes, and exclaimed, "How is it possible? I obviously ......"
"Obviously what?" Qingyun looked directly at Yu Fengxian with clear eyes, and the eyebrows under her eyes contained coldness and majesty: "Miss Ben heard that there is a group of thieves in Yinshan who kill people and oversell goods, and lose their conscience, so she deliberately packed a few boxes of stones to lure the group of thieves to appear, and then wiped them out, and happened to meet your cousin's family was killed and robbed by bandits, and tried to bully your cousin, we kindly rescued your cousin from the hands of the bandits and sent her here, I didn't expect you not only to be ungrateful, but also to take revenge and frame us as bandits, saying, what are your intentions?" ”
The crowd in the inn was suddenly indignant, and they had the ambition to reprimand Yu Fengxian for repaying virtue with resentment, which was simply hateful.
"Lord Wu, it turns out that we are not thieves, but the innkeeper is confusing the public and intending to frame us.
Under the eyes of everyone, Wu Qiyuan, who knew that everyone hated the group of bandits who had been blocking the road for a long time and killing for money, was worried that it would cause public outrage, and even lose the official position that he had worked so hard to obtain, so he said loudly: "The Yu family has malicious intentions to frame a good person, the crime is extremely evil, and someone will send the Yu family to prison!" ”
"Stop!"
