No matter what, she will never let go of the person who hurt her in this life.
Han Yueniang, Pei Shixian, and the heroine Chen Tiantian, she will remember this grudge today. If she doesn't make them pay the price, her life will be in vain.
Yingbao looked around and walked towards what looked like a village in the distance.
The autumn insects were chirping as the dew got heavier, and the late autumn dew quickly soaked her trouser legs, shoes and socks.
Yingbao walked to a threshing floor, taking one step forward and one step back.
There were several piles of straw here, which were just enough for her to stay.
Pulling out the straw bit by bit, a hole was dug out in the haystack and Yingbao crawled in.
She took out a blanket from the cave and wrapped herself in it, then ate something casually, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In her dream, many scenes flashed by like a kaleidoscope, all of which she had never seen before.
But when she woke up, all the images were gone.
It was already daybreak, but the threshing ground was some distance from the villagers' homes, so no one had noticed her yet.
Yingbao put away the blanket, ate something, and prepared to go out and take a look.
At this moment, a peasant woman came over to pull grass and was suddenly shocked to see a little baby in white clothes with disheveled hair hiding in the haystack.
"Oh my god! Where did Immortal Hu come from!" The woman screamed and ran a long way before she stopped.
Yingbao scratched her messy hair and found that a bunch of it was missing, which made her even more angry.
She tried to speak, but no sound came out and she was stunned.
Could it be that Pei Shi first poisoned himself and made him mute
Yingbao frowned, crawled out of the haystack, gestured to the peasant woman, and took out her badge and shook it.
The badge was engraved with the words "Yin Yang Department of Qinchuan County Medical Bureau", and her name was on the back.
Although the peasant woman was illiterate, she understood what was going on and walked up to him and asked, "Whose family are you from? Why are you hiding here?"
Yingbao blinked in frustration and looked at the peasant woman pitifully.
She wanted to find someone who could read, explain the situation to them, and ask them to take her to the city to find a master.
The peasant woman saw that she couldn't speak and expressed regret. "So you're dumb. No wonder you're stranded here."
After pulling a bundle of straw, the peasant woman carried the straw on her back and walked home.
Yingbao thought about it and followed.
Soon the villagers gathered around and asked a lot of questions.
Finally, when they found out that she couldn't speak, they all shook their heads and sighed, "Poor thing, she's actually a mute."
Yingbao had no choice but to take out her badge and wave it again.
Finally, someone came forward, took the badge from her hand and looked at it: "Qinchuan County, Medical Department, Yin-Yang Department, Jiang Yingbao. Oh, so you're a medical student from out of town."
Seeing that this man could read, Yingbao nodded repeatedly and even wrote on the ground with a branch for him to see.
"Send me to the provincial capital and I'll reward me with ten taels of silver." The man muttered to himself, and the people around him were in an uproar.
Someone quickly said, "I have a bullock cart at home, I can take you there!"
The other person was unhappy: "I also have an ox cart at home, don't go too far, Wu Gouzi." The one who was reading the words was his brother, and the young master was talking to his brother, so it was not the turn of others to interrupt.
Finally, Yingbao got on an ox cart and slowly headed towards the city.
The provincial capital of Luzhou was in chaos yesterday.
All brothels, theaters and docks were searched forcibly, but when nothing was found, more than a hundred people rushed into Mr. Pei's house and turned it upside down from inside to outside.
Afterwards, they beat up several people who dared to resist.
In the evening, the gate of Xiao's house was surrounded by more than a hundred Taoists.
Zhou Wuchang slowly walked to the door and said to the guard, "Please ask Censor Xiao to come out and talk."
Seeing this scene, the guard did not dare to hesitate and hurried in to report to his master.
Not long after, Xiao Weizhong appeared, glanced at the people below the stairs, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Wuchang held the dust in his hand and said coldly: "Master Xiao is very capable. He allowed his retainers to kidnap my disciple. I have not yet asked Master Xiao what his intention is."
Xiao Weizhong frowned, "Master Zhou, what do you mean by that?"
Zhou Wuchang stepped forward and said sternly, "Xiao family retainer Pei Shixian committed a crime in the street and kidnapped my disciple to perform witchcraft. If anything happens to my disciple, I will report him to the Golden Palace and make them pay with blood!"
After saying this, he waved his hand, and several Taoists carried Pei Shixian's family over and kicked them down at the door of Xiao's house.
Some of these people were Pei Shixian’s children, and some were his concubines.
One of them was held by a wet nurse, and was the child born to Han Yue Niang.
Xiao Weizhong frowned: "Master Zhou, did you misunderstand? Why would Pei Shixian kidnap your disciple?"
"Someone saw with their own eyes that the person who kidnapped people was your servant Pei Shixian. Does Mr. Xiao want to protect the criminal?" Zhou Wuchang's face was cold.
"This..." Xiao Weizhong was a little puzzled: "But why did Pei Shixian kidnap your apprentice?"
Zhou Wuchang: "Master Xiao, you should ask your retainers about this."
Xiao Weizhong: …
He looked at the Pei family children lying on the ground trembling and asked, "Pei Dalang, where is your father?"
Pei Dalang's teeth chattered as he stammered, "Father left early in the morning. We don't know where he went."
Xiao Weizhong asked again: "Do you know who he went out with?"
He wanted to excuse Pei Shi first and find someone to accompany him so that he could defend him later, but a woman spoke up first:
"I know! My husband took Han out of the city, saying that he was going to pay tribute to the dead outside the city, and he also took her burden with him."
This middle-aged woman was Pei Shixian's concubine. She had always been resentful that Han came later and became her husband's legal wife. She also enjoyed all his favor. Even the burden she brought with her was treated as his own child by him. It was really infuriating.
Originally, his son was the eldest son, and the family wealth would be inherited by him in the future.
As a result, the old man put a lot of effort into marrying Han as his principal wife, and Han gave birth to a son, who became the legitimate son.
As a result, Pei family's illegitimate son would not be able to inherit the family business, and would not be allowed to live in the ancestral home after getting married.
"Then do you know where they went after leaving the city?" Xiao Weizhong's expression became more and more solemn.
If his own servants really committed robbery, he, as the Censor, would have no chance of success, as the impeachment memorials would probably overwhelm the emperor's case.
The woman shook her head: "I don't know."
The crowd around first whispered, then shouted loudly:
"Such a wicked person! Censor Xiao actually wants to protect him. Hand him over quickly!"
"Hand over Pei Shixian!"
"How dare you rob a child? This is against the law!"
Seeing this, Xiao Weizhong's staff hurriedly whispered in his ear: "My dear, this matter is of great importance. We need to find out the truth as soon as possible."
Zhou Wuchang has a very high prestige among the people, and his followers can be found all over the country.
Although Xiao Wei Zhong held a high position, he was helpless against Taoist descendants like Zhou Wuchang.
He had no choice but to order his men to take people to find Pei Shixian and bring him back for questioning.
On the other side, Pei Shixian was intercepted by Wei family guards as soon as he entered the city.
The leader was familiar with Pei Shixian. He looked at the carriage with a smile and asked, "Where are you going, Mr. Pei?"
Pei Shixian bowed to him and said, "I am only going out of the city. Is there something that Steward Feng needs to stop the car?"
Manager Feng smiled slightly: "Of course there is something wrong. Hey, you don't know, Master Zhou's apprentice is missing, and he is leading people around the world to look for the kidnapper."
As he spoke, he glanced at the carriage and asked, "I wonder if Mr. Pei has seen it?"
