Chapter 331: A Vicious Woman
Cheng Yao left a few family members to tie up the injured bandits, and chased the fleeing bandits with other family guards, and several of the masked man's men also mixed into their team, they were highly skilled in martial arts, but in a few moments, those fleeing bandits were beaten to pieces, and they could only be captured.
The family and the guards tied up the bandits back, and Cheng Yao thanked the masked man and led the people from the general's mansion down the mountain.
Cheng Yun returned home, and after she woke up, she saw Li sitting in front of her bed, she threw herself into Li's arms and cried bitterly, "Mother, what should I do?" Yun'er is like this now, the prince of the world...... Woowoo woo ......"
Li was also very uncomfortable in his heart, he originally wanted to ruin his second aunt, but he didn't expect to harm his daughter, and the most terrible thing was that he was also seen by the prince of the Protector's Mansion, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to. She had a headache, so she could only comfort Cheng Yun softly, telling her not to think so much, rest well, and then find a way.
In fact, she also knew in her heart that if such a thing happened, even if the prince of the Protectorate Mansion and Cheng Yun were in love, they would be affected, and Cheng Yun might not be able to be the princess if she wanted to, and when the time came, she could only find a way to be a side concubine.
It's just that she thinks too naΓ―vely, at this time, where does the prince still want to marry Cheng Yun? And she is worried about Cheng Yun now, and she doesn't know that she has reached the end of the disaster.
In the study, General Cheng listened to Cheng Yao's account of what happened on the mountain, and his face turned blue with anger, "How can this be reasonable, such bandits really don't take my general's mansion in their eyes, and they dare to touch the people in my mansion, I must let them die without a corpse!" β
Cheng Xi looked at General Cheng's angry appearance and said, "Daddy, please calm your anger, I followed my brother to the mountain and heard the bandit leader say something......"
Cheng Xi blushed and didn't continue, she was a woman who had not left the cabinet, and the words that the bandits said really made her unspeakable.
"What did you say?" General Cheng asked angrily.
Cheng Xi lowered his head and said hesitantly: "He said Yun'er...... Yun'er has long been ...... I've been played by someone a long time ago, and I said that they didn't catch the wrong person, Daddy, I think someone must have instructed them behind them! We must catch the mastermind and avenge our sister! β
"What do you say? Did you hear it right? General Cheng almost jumped up when he heard Cheng Xi's previous words, Cheng Yun hadn't left the cabinet yet, how could it be......
"No, I hear you clearly! The bandit leader said angrily, and said that his sister had lied to him. Cheng Xi continued.
"Butler, go and call Cheng Yun for me!" General Cheng yelled angrily.
"Daddy, Yun'er is pitiful enough now, don't blame her, now we have to arrest the mastermind and avenge our sister!" Cheng Xi stopped General Cheng, looking like a good sister, but he thought in his heart, hum, if General Cheng knew that the mastermind was the Li family, hehe! I'm afraid Lee's good days are coming to an end, right?
"Yes! Dad, Xi'er has a point, I'm going to arrest the bandit leader and let Dad interrogate him personally. Cheng Yao said, although he didn't know why Cheng Xi wanted to help Cheng Yun speak, but Cheng Yun was so badly harmed by those bandits, and he didn't want the wicked to get away with it.
Saying that, regardless of General Cheng's attitude, he walked out, to arrest the bandit leader, General Cheng chased him out, he didn't want the bandit to defile his study.
Cheng Yao only asked the officers and soldiers to arrest most of the bandits, but the few bandits who insulted Cheng Yun were arrested by him and locked up in the firewood room, after all, he didn't want people outside to know about Cheng Yun's humiliation.
After a while, the bandit leader was carried in front of General Cheng by Cheng Yao, and Cheng Yao kicked the bandit leader's calf, and he knelt down in pain.
"Say! Who instructed you to do it? General Cheng's angry voice was deafening.
These bandits are just people who see money, where will they be angry, besides, he also knows that he has been arrested by mistake, and the person he arrested is the daughter of General Cheng Da, if he doesn't confess the people behind the scenes, he won't be able to live.
In order to survive, he said: "It is a teenage woman, who looks like a maid, and she gave us a thousand taels of silver, and said that we should rob the woman in the last carriage, and after the robbery, we can play with her as much as we want, and play with her as much as possible, and there will be an additional reward as long as her wife is satisfied." β
"The woman in the last carriage?" General Cheng stared at the bandits in front of him, turned his head and asked Cheng Yao, "Do you know who was sitting on the last carriage to set off today?" β
Cheng Yao shook his head and went out to find the housekeeper, and the housekeeper said: "Master, when we set off today, the second lady arranged for the eldest young master and the eldest lady to walk in the front, the second lady followed behind the eldest young master and the eldest lady, the second lady followed closely behind, followed by the third miss, and finally the second aunt, but for some reason, the second lady's carriage will fall last." β
The bandit leader kowtowed to General Cheng and cried and begged for mercy: "General, I really don't know that the person in the last carriage is the second lady, if I know, I will definitely not rob her, the man said that the woman in the carriage is a fox spirit, obviously a married man, and seduces men everywhere, her wife should teach her a good lesson!" also said that since she likes men, he will give her a few. I thought that it would be a curse for such a woman to keep, and that I would not only receive money, but also remove harm from the people. It's really none of my business! I was framed! β
"Second aunt? Who wants to kill the second aunt? Cheng Xi said with a look of surprise, "The second aunt has a docile temperament, she has never fought or robbed, and she rarely goes out of the house, saying that she ...... everywhere It's just nonsense! β
Originally, General Cheng listened to the bandit's words, and thought that it was the second aunt who seduced the man outside, and was known by the man in the man's family, and wanted to take revenge on the second aunt, but when he heard Cheng Xi's words, he felt that it was very reasonable, and he was also very clear about the second aunt's temperament, which made him suspect another person, isn't it because he has been staying in the second aunt's room every night recently, snubbing that person, and making that person hold a grudge against the second aunt?
And at this time, no matter how stupid and stupid Cheng Yao is, he has already guessed who the person behind the scenes is, but he is a little strange in his heart, could it be that Cheng Xi has already guessed who that person is, so she will help Cheng Yun speak, and let her father first track down the person behind the scenes. He couldn't help but glance at Cheng Xi, and felt that she was really very different from before, not as submissive as before, but more wise.
General Cheng pondered for a moment and asked, "If you find a few people to recognize you, can you recognize that maid?" β
"The villain should be able to recognize it." The bandit leader said.
General Cheng instructed the housekeeper to call all the maids in the mansion over, and lined up one by one to enter the firewood room, so that the bandit leader could recognize people.
The first maids to walk into the firewood room were several maids beside the second lady Li, one of the maids walked into the firewood room, and when she saw the bandit leader, she trembled with fright and turned pale.
General Cheng saw everything in his eyes, in fact, he didn't need the bandit leader to recognize people, he already knew who did it, that maid trembled so much, isn't it a weak heart?
As expected, the bandit leader pointed at the maid and said excitedly: "General, it's her!" She was the one who made us rob the last wagon. β
The maid knelt down in fright and said to General Cheng, "Master, he ...... He's bloody, I don't even know him! β
"You don't know him, what are you shaking so hard? Isn't that a bad thing? Cheng Yao said coldly.
At this time, the Li family heard that the housekeeper called all the maids in the mansion to the firewood room, and had a bad premonition in his heart, could it be that the old man suspected the maids in the mansion. No, she had to watch, lest the maid confess her.
She ran to the firewood room in a panic, and when she heard Cheng Yao's voice, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat, no, she had to calm down and think about countermeasures.
"Young Master, he looks so terrible that he scares the slaves." The maid argued.
"General, I recognize her clearly, she was wearing a light green dress that day, by the way, when she gave me the silver ticket, I saw a black mole on the back of her hand." The bandits were afraid that General Cheng would not believe him, so they hurriedly said.
"Reach out!" General Cheng said to the maid.
The maid did not dare to disobey the order, so she had to stretch out her hand, and sure enough, there was a black mole on the back of her hand, and she could not deny it even if she wanted to.
Li Shi squeezed in at this time, and pointed at the maid angrily: ", why do you want to harm my Yun'er?" Where are our mother and daughter sorry for you? β
The maid looked at the second lady in surprise, obviously the second lady let her do it, but now she is putting all the blame on her, no, if she admits it, the general will definitely beat her to death!
She looked at General Cheng: "Master, spare your life!" It was the second lady who asked me to do it. β
", I'll let you do it? Am I going to let you harm my own daughter? It's just nonsense! Li asked angrily.
"Madam, obviously you asked me to go to the bandits, saying that they would rob the eldest lady and the second aunt, and then the eldest young master also went up the mountain, you know that the bandits can't beat the eldest young master, so they only robbed the second aunt's carriage."
The maid's words surprised everyone, it turned out that these two ladies were so vicious!
General Cheng and Cheng Yao looked at the Li family, their eyes were about to erupt fire, if the eyes could kill, the Li family didn't know how many times they died.
But Cheng Xi kept looking at her with a smile.
"Li, what else do you have to say!" General Cheng roared angrily.
"Master, you are wronged! It's not the concubine's body, you can't listen to that girl's nonsense! She actually did it herself, but she framed me! Li knelt on the ground, hugged General Cheng's thigh and cried and shouted.
"What did the maid do? Where did the maid get the 1,000 taels of silver? Cheng Yao asked angrily.
"This ...... This maid must have stolen the money from the house! Li said.
