Chapter 16: The Flower Thief

"Let's go"

"Cover your face!"

"Be quiet! I'm afraid that I won't be able to attract the flower thief! ”

******

The people of the Shen family had eaten, and as soon as they arrived at the door of the post house, they saw two young women masked, followed by a woman and a man, and the four of them were carrying packages, in a hurry.

When Mrs. Shen heard the man's words, she was shocked, and hurriedly called out to the woman:

"This big lady and so on"

"I see you're in a hurry, what's going on here?"

The woman saw that Mrs. Shen was dressed in expensive clothes, and there was Shen Yunwei by her side, and there were several maids behind her, presumably the wives of a large family, so she hurriedly stopped and stepped forward to reply:

"Old lady, don't hide it, there is a flower thief in Yangzhou City recently"

"Ahh

The Shen family was shocked when they heard this, Mrs. Shen hurriedly grabbed Shen Yunwei's arm, and the maidservants behind her also began to whisper.

When the woman saw Mrs. Shen's move, she hurriedly said:

"But don't worry, old lady, I see that your granddaughter is still young, and the flower thieves are all defiled by the girl who has reached the end of the day, and the little lady who has just married."

"Originally, the girls who were tarnished and innocent were reluctant to speak out, but yesterday the little lady of the Li family was raped to death, and Master Li reported to the official, and the girls who had been ruined were afraid that the thief would come to the door again and lose their lives, so they went to report to the officials one by one."

"Pity me for these two daughters, now that I have reached the age of kissing, if something happens, the family is poor, there is no one to rely on, and I don't know who to ask for advice at that time, then I won't live!" The woman's eyes moistened as she spoke, and she added:

"No, I thought to my family officials, take them back to their hometown to hide for a while, and then come back when the thief catches them."

"Exactly! Precisely! The man chimed in.

Mrs. Shen looked at the two girls behind them, both of them lowered their heads and covered their faces, only revealing their two big clear eyes, tugging at the corners of their clothes and feeling uneasy.

"Xilan, give them the usual money" Mrs. Shen came to see them pitiful, and secondly, she was also grateful that they were in a hurry, and she was willing to tell the truth.

Mama Chen took out the money and handed it to the woman, and the family thanked Mrs. Shen for their kindness and hurried away.

******

Mrs. Shen got the news of the woman, and looked at Shen Yun's slightly fleshy child's face, and only then did she put down half of her heart.

Sitting in the carriage, Shen Yunwei began to carefully recall the events on the way to Beijing in his previous life.

In the previous life, because there was no delay in Langxi County, I only stayed for one night and went straight to Yangzhou, which took two days on the road and arrived in Yangzhou on the third day.

And when I arrived in Yangzhou tonight, it was the fifth day since I left home, and the difference between these two days made the road so bad.

In the previous life, after arriving in the capital, several days passed, until the Shen family heard that the Yangzhou flower thief was captured by the yamen, and they did not know that these things had happened.

Because of the large number of victims and the extremely bad case, the flower thief was escorted to the capital and tortured Ling Chi at the entrance of the vegetable market.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunwei realized that his third brother was really going where something happened, and he was really afraid that he would get involved in something that his father could not do in the future.

However, when the World Bank went to Yangzhou before, he did not hear about the rape and murder of the little lady of the Li family, presumably this incident must have happened after the Shen family passed through Yangzhou.

Thinking so, the Shen family's carriage and horses entered Yangzhou City, and it was already dark at this time.

Shen Yunwei lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at Guangling Street, except for the elderly woman, there was no young and beautiful lady, Guangling Street was the most prosperous area in Yangzhou City, which showed that this case had caused panic in the city.

The Shen family went back and forth on the street twice, and finally decided to stay at the Wuyue Inn.

Wuyue Inn is at the corner of Guangling Street, and then it is Wenchang Pavilion, Wenchang Pavilion is a school in Yangzhou, after Wenchang Pavilion, you will arrive at Yuxian Street, through Yuxian Street, it is Slender West Lake.

Shen Weijing has his own considerations, this route has the most literati and inkmen, and most of the pedestrians on the road are well-informed people, so it must be much safer to live here.

******

Shen Yunwei locked the doors and windows at night, but she couldn't sleep, after all, she didn't get up until noon, and she was thinking about that thing in her heart, so she took out the bronze mirror and wanted to ask Lang Yanqing where he was at this time.

"Little lady, where are you today? I didn't hear from you yesterday, and I'm worried about it."

As soon as Shen Yunwei wiped the bronze mirror, Lang Yanqing suddenly appeared.

Shen Yunwei sighed helplessly and said, "I was on the road yesterday, and I just arrived in Yangzhou today."

"Ouch, it's all in Yangzhou!"

"What about you? Where have you been? ”

"I just stayed in Fengtai County"

"Why are you so fast?"

Shen Yun was slightly surprised, this Fengtai County is only a day's journey from Yangzhou, he is hurrying up, and there is nothing urgent, what is he doing in such a hurry?

"Hey! I'm in a hurry to meet you, and I'm in Yangzhou tomorrow! Lang Yanqing stuck out his tongue and said mischievously.

Shen Yun smiled helplessly. Lang Yanqing is much more familiar with this mirror than himself, how could he really think that the two could meet in Yangzhou.

"Huh? That's right! Little lady, I remembered that the rape and murder case committed by Feng Congfei was in Yangzhou at that time."

"You mean that the flower thief is called Feng Congfei?" Shen Yunwei hurriedly asked.

"Yes, it was a famous capital at that time!" Lang Yanqing said affirmatively.

"Didn't the criminal get caught after you were shot? How do you know what his last name is? ”

Shen Yunwei suddenly remembered that this time was not right at all, so he asked.

"Ouch! My silly little lady! This Feng Congfei was not exposed until the situation was serious, when he committed the crime at the beginning, the government had already sent someone to arrest him, but by the time I died, the person had not been caught."

Lang Yanqing looked at Shen Yunwei, smiled helplessly, and then asked:

"But listen to you, that guy was captured after I died?"

"Yes, Ling Chi was also sentenced to torture"

Shen Yunwei thought about it, raping and killing a woman from a good family should be punished for this crime, and it would be unceremonious to speak.

Lang Yanqing laughed when he heard this and said: "Hahaha, that guy named himself Feng Cong Fei, this time he doesn't fly in Feng Cong, it seems that dandelions can only fly in the wind."

Shen Yunwei heard Lang Yanqing compare Ling Chi's Feng Congfei to a dandelion, and instantly felt that his stomach was turning upside down.

"But then again, at this time, Feng Congfei hasn't caught it yet! Little lady, you can't run around, remember to protect yourself! Otherwise, I'm so obsessed, I'm going to go with you."

Lang Yanqing then staged another scene of concern and chaos, and Shen Yunwei was speechless for a while.
