Today, Zhao Ning doesn't have to go to the Duwei Mansion on a business, so he plans to go to Lantian County. Lantian Mountain is not too far from the capital, less than sixty miles, and it will arrive in an hour. Although the family master had been dispatched, and he had gone over to pick up Hu Erniang and others, and even Zhao Qiyue had rushed over in person, Zhao Ning was still not at ease.

However, before Zhao Ning could go out, some children in the clan hurriedly came to report and said something that Zhao Ning couldn't be indifferent.

The day before yesterday, after Yu Niang came to the Duwei Mansion to deliver pastries, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian planned to accept each other's son into the mansion to be a scholar because they pity the other party's poor and kind, and this matter was originally taken over by Wei Wuxian, after all, he ate a box of pastries from others.

Yesterday during the day, Wei Wuxian asked people to go to Yu Niang's house, but he didn't expect that there was no one at home, and he didn't come back after waiting for a whole day. Early this morning, the Wei clan passed over again, and they didn't see Yu Niang's mother and son, but they saw the other party's gambler husband. The other party was drunk, and the Wei clan didn't ask anything, but by asking the neighbors, they learned that Yu Niang's mother and son seemed to have been sold by him again!

Hearing this, Zhao Ning felt very unhappy, how could a trivial matter cause so many waves? After Yu Niang was rescued from the Baiyi Club gambling house, why didn't she reconcile with that scholar gambler, and continued to stay with others, resulting in being sold again?!

Kind people are usually soft-hearted and can also appear weak, and Zhao Ning was a little angry. There was no delay at the moment, and I went to Yu Niang's house in person.

This is someone else's family matter, and he didn't want to interfere, but he has already taken care of this matter, and according to his temperament, it is impossible to give up halfway. It's not how kind he is, it's that he has something to do, and he has to get a result, even if it ends with killing this scholar gambler.

Under the guidance of the clansmen, Zhao Ning came to a remote and dilapidated alley, and saw Wei Wuxian from a distance. The other party's face was very ugly, and he came over and gritted his teeth and said, "I asked, Yu Niang's mother and son were sold to the Liu family's mansion!"

There was still blood on the back of his hand, and the process of trying to come to the question was not good—he couldn't talk to a drunkard in a friendly way. Zhao Ning frowned: "Liu?"

It's not good where to sell it, but it was sold to Liu's.

Wei Wuxian took two pieces of paper from his entourage and handed them to Zhao Ning: "This is the contract...... It's been 30 years, what's the difference between that and working hard!"

There were no slaves in the Great Qi Dynasty, so the servants and maids who went to work in large families did not sign a life agreement, in principle, they only worked, and when the deadline was reached, they could take their wages and leave. It's just that in reality, ordinary servants are not much higher than watchdogs. Especially in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, the life safety of servants and maids is not much guaranteed.

Before Zhao Ning could speak, a member of the Wei clan came out of the next room and said to Wei Wuxian and Zhao Ning: "I heard from the neighbors that Yu Niang was already planning to reconcile with that scholar, but the other party didn't agree, but instead took the lead and sold their mother and son again!"

It is very simple for a husband to divorce his wife, regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he only needs to write a letter of divorce and then report to the government, while the wife wants to reconcile and divorce her husband, and the matter is much more complicated.

Zhao Ning took the contract and looked at it, and said to Wei Wuxian: "Find someone to redeem Yu Niang's mother and son at a high price - bring this scholar back to the prison of the Duwei Mansion, a scumbag like him will only harm people and imprison him for the rest of his life!"

Wei Wuxian nodded, and asked the Wei clan to casually install a crime in the name of the Governor's Mansion, and drag the scholar out to take away the "investigation". Zhao Ning planned to let the people of Yipinlou redeem Yuniang's mother and son. Neither the Zhao family nor the Wei family is suitable to go out to the Liu family, and with the relationship between the two parties, the Liu family may not buy it.

When the scholar gambler was dragged out, although he was already with a blue nose and swollen face and bleeding mouth, he still roared at Wei Wuxian, and the words he scolded were unbearable, most of them were "concubines", "adulterers and adulteresses" and the like, and they also shouted that they would go to Jingzhao Mansion to accuse Wei Wuxian of adultery with Yu Niang, so that they would have no face to be.

Through the results of the investigation told by the Wei clan, Zhao Ning learned that this scholar had a very solid family at first, and his family had a three-entry mansion in a prosperous area, and Yu Niang was his family's child daughter-in-law. Later, the scholar's parents died of illness, and the scholar himself failed several times in the imperial examination, and he couldn't bear the pressure and let loose his body, went in and out of brothels and gambling houses, and soon lost his family fortune.

The house is gone, the servants are scattered, if it weren't for Yu Niang's ingenuity, doing some embroidery and sewing work to subsidize the family, and hard-working, personally carrying water, chopping firewood, laundry and cooking, this family would have become a beggar. And the scholar, not to mention that he gambled most of the money earned by Yu Niang, and often accused Yu Niang of not abiding by women's morals and slandering her for hooking up with men outside!

Because he felt that if Yu Niang didn't do this, he would definitely not be able to earn money to support his family, and Yu Niang was really gorgeous and moving, and she was coveted. He thinks that he has achieved nothing, and Yu Niang must look down on him and want to find another one to rely on. After a long time, the scholar felt that what he was thinking was the truth, and I was afraid that the child was not his own, so there was a matter of selling Yu Niang's mother and son.

Now that he saw Wei Wuxian coming out for Yu Niang, he thought that the other party was Yu Niang's concubine, because although he was beaten badly, he still thought that he was justified and scolded endlessly.

After listening to the statements of the Wei clan, Zhao Ning was very angry, this scholar relied on several imperial examinations, failed, and degraded himself, knowing that he was looked down upon, but he didn't know how to work hard, but he suspected his kind and hard-working wife.

He only needs to be sober for a few days to do work with Yu Niang, and he knows how Yu Niang makes money, but he just turns a blind eye!

Maybe it's because he is too unbearable and knows that he is not worthy of Yu Niang, so he thinks that Yu Niang is as stained and dirty as him, so that he can enjoy the other party's hard-earned money with peace of mind, and sell them without any burden, and spend the silver by himself.

"Smash his mouth! Wei Wuxian was scolded furiously.

He is the prince of the country, and after he became a nobleman, he was said to be the concubine of a market woman by this so-called gambler, doesn't this bastard know that there are such things as kindness and justice in this world? Now that he has found out that the other party is a scumbag, where will he be polite, "No, cut off his tongue!"

A Wei clansman punched the lower abdomen of the scolding scholar, stretched the other party's neck, and then pinched the scholar's neck, so that the other party could not breathe, exposed his tongue, grabbed it, and was really angry, and broke the opponent's tongue from the root, and when he took it out, he saw a soil dog not far away, so he threw it away.

The scholar knelt on the ground with his mouth full of blood open, making a meaningless whining, fear and pain distorted his facial features, trembling fingers still trying to touch his tongue, hearing the dog barking, looking up to see the earth dog spitting out his tongue, grunting in his throat, his eyes rolled and he fainted in fright.

"Throw him into the water prison of the Governor's Mansion and let him pay for his sins!" Wei Wuxian coldly ordered.

Leaving the alley, Zhao Ning arranged for the people of Yipinlou to go to the Liu family's mansion to redeem the jade lady. However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected, the elite of Yipinlou, who pretended to be a businessman, had just set off, and there was a cultivator who was responsible for monitoring Liu's mansion to report, a back door of Liu's mansion, and just lost two corpses out, one big and one small, and now they are being transported out of the city by board cart!

Zhao Ning only needs to wait for Hu Honglian and others to come back, he will immediately attack the Liu family, the bow and arrow have been wound, and they are about to be fired, there can be no accidents at this time, in order to grasp the movements of the Liu family, he let the good hand of Yipinlou go to monitor the Liu family's mansion early.

Hearing this news, Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian glanced at each other in surprise, their faces were as gloomy as water, and they didn't delay any longer, let the people from Yipinlou lead the way, use their skills to jump onto the roof, and run straight to the alley at the back door of the Liu family's mansion!

The two places are not far apart, and there is no need for scholars and gamblers to go a long way to sell the mother and son of the jade lady, it is too troublesome. The cart covered with straw mats had just stepped onto the street from the alley, and before it had left the Liu family's mansion, Zhao Ning, Wei Wuxian and the others stopped each other on the street.

"Who are you? Do you know whose truck this is? Dare to stand in our way, we can't find death!" The two servants of the Liu family who drove the car were obviously arrogant, and when they saw Zhao Ning and the others blocking the road, they shook their whips and shouted.

Without saying a word, Wei Wuxian stepped forward in two steps and slammed his fist on the bridge of the nose of the loud Liu servant, knocking the other party into a pig-killing scream, flying more than a foot away, and then reflexively kicked the other servant who pounced on him and threw him tumbling and vomiting blood on the ground.

Zhao Ning opened the straw mat on the cart and saw the two corpses below, only to feel like a needle prick! The other party is indeed the mother and son of the jade lady!

The child's neck was twisted, his head was drooping to the side, his eyes were still full of anxiety and horror, but his face was already dead and gray, and there was no life at all;

Zhao Ning helped Yu Niang up, took off the big coat and put it on for her, took out a pill bottle, poured a pill for her to feed, stroked her back with one hand, and used true qi to dissolve the medicine power for her.

The finger prints on the front of her neck are red, not dark, which means that the blood in her body is still circulating, Zhao Ning has probed her pulse, and there are subtle stirring, knowing that it can be saved, naturally she will not hesitate.

"What are so many people doing here? Zhao Ning?!"

After the crowd of onlookers, Liu Xincheng with a group of entourages walked over, seeing his servant looking miserable and being escorted, his heart was furious, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhao Ning and Wei Wuxian, "You two dare to beat my Liu family in the street, do you really not take my Liu family in your eyes?!"

Zhao Ning ignored it, and Wei Wuxian was just about to speak, when a terrible cry suddenly sounded.

Yu Niang seemed to wake up from a nightmare, after crying in grief, she almost fainted, and when she saw Zhao Ning in front of her, she immediately grabbed the other party's sleeve, as if facing a god who was in distress, and begged anxiously: "Zhao Gongzi, save my child, he was ...... The slave family was lightly insulted by the son of the Liu family who broke into the door, and my poor child cried and came up to stop him, but was grabbed by the other party's neck and thrown out of the door, and ......he didn't know whether he was alive or dead."

Speaking of this, her eyes were suddenly filled with horror, she lowered her head, saw the corpse of the child next to her lap, was stunned for a moment, rattled twice in her throat, rolled her eyes, and fainted.

"Zhao Ning! Wei Wuxian! Our Liu family's family affairs, it's not your turn to take care of it! If you want to be kind, it's best to pick a place!" Liu Xincheng heard Yu Niang's words, and he felt a little wrong, but he didn't think that it would be so serious for the Liu family's son to kill a few people.

Zhao Ning stretched out his hand and pointed at Liu Xincheng.

Before Liu Xincheng could react, he felt a pain in the back of his head, his eyes were dark, and he fell to the ground softly.

"Take these Liu clan members and subordinates, let's go to Jingzhao Mansion! Today, I want to avenge Yu Niang's grievances and seek justice from the Liu family!" Zhao Ning stood up, his eyes full of murder.
