"Ah... lord... lord! I know I'm wrong! Ah... spare my life! Spare me..." Tong Gongsang screamed, begging for mercy desperately.
After more than a dozen whips, Feng Liao evoked a contemptuous smile: "I thought you were a good man, but I didn't expect you to be a coward. You can't stand it after just a few whips?"
The guard with a smirk on his face stopped whipping, and the two people who were stepping on the gong-sounding arms also let go of their feet.
Tong Luosang regained his freedom, his legs and feet were not injured, but he didn't dare to run away, but got up with difficulty, knelt down in front of Feng Liao's horse trembling, and kowtowed to his head with his arms drooping: "Thank you for your mercy, my lord!"
Feng Liao looked at him, smiled suddenly, and said gently, "Put on your clothes! Don't catch a cold." Then she ordered the two guards, "Give him your arm."
The two expressionless guards took two steps forward and replaced Tong Gongsang's dislocated joints.
The pain in the arm of the gong gong finally got better, and he kowtowed to Feng Liao tremblingly, put on his clothes tremblingly, and thanked him again.
"What's your name? What do you do for a living? Where do you live?" Feng Liao asked condescendingly.
"Small... The little one is Luo Tong... No... I help people... I live... I live in Niuwei Alley..." The Tongluo named Luo Tong spoke in a stuttering voice.
"How did you make such a fuss today?"
"Yes...it's Mr. Wu! The younger one had a drink with the brothers of the Wu family before. This time, Mr. Wu and Wu Er suffered a big loss, and the old background of the Wu family was also exposed. Wu Dao held a grudge in his heart..."
After saying a few words, Luo Tong spoke more smoothly, and began to push the matter to the Wu family: "...Later, the girl from the Yong family was divorced, and everyone in the alley said that the girl was stupid, and returned all the betrothal gifts. But Wu Da whispered to me: The Yong family returned all the betrothal gifts for outsiders to see, otherwise why would they invite people to witness? If the Yang family didn’t get some secret benefits for such a good marriage, how could the Yong family withdraw obediently? ?! After Wu Er died, Wu Da invited me to come and make a fuss, saying that he got the money for 30% and 30% of the money, and he was 30% of me... The little one was confused by the lard for a while, so he agreed!"
Feng Liao asked the women and children of the Wu family who were foolishly on the side: "What do you have to say?"
Everyone in the Wu family came to their senses, and shouted for grievances: "...it was clearly this Luo Papi who provoked my family to make trouble! My boss originally disagreed, but he couldn't help pestering him again and again, so he agreed to this in a moment of confusion... The surname Luo is used to blackmailing and oppressing kindness. He was originally a tyrant in the neighborhood... He also said that he would ask for fifty taels first, and if the Yong family can get it, he will slowly find ways to get the rest of the money quietly. Come on..."
After asking a few words, and then looking at the expressions and tone of these people, Feng Liao knew it well—Luo Tong's suggestion was true, and the Wu family's grudge was also true!
He didn't bother to say anything more, and said indifferently: "Who is the mastermind, I am busy now, and I don't bother to ask. Carry this dead man and get out! Don't let me see it again!"
"Yes yes yes!" Luo Tong and the members of the Wu family hurriedly carried Wu Er's body and left in a desperate manner.
Feng Liao was still riding on the horse, and cupped her hands towards the neighbors who were watching the excitement: "Thank you, my neighbors, for speaking out! I'll treat you to a drink some other day."
Those neighbors had watched enough of the good show today, each said a few words of modesty, and then went back to their respective homes. Those who were not clever enough and wanted to continue watching the excitement were also told to be taken away by others. As for Mr. Feng's polite words about inviting people to drink, no one took it seriously.
In an instant, tranquility was restored in front of the Yong family's gate.
Feng Liao jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the guards at the side, walked slowly to the door, and knocked on the door three times without haste or slowness.
"Kang kuang kuang..."
Hearing the knock on the door, Yong Ruo suddenly felt a very peaceful and warm feeling in his heart.
It's like walking alone in the rain, suddenly there is an umbrella on top of your head; it's like when you come home late at night, your colleagues take you downstairs; it's like a tissue from a stranger with a smile when you are sad and in tears...
It seems that with just a little touch like this, she can regain her strength and move on!
She leaned against the door, with a smile on her lips, and asked knowingly through the door: "Who is it?"
Feng Liao outside the door was slightly taken aback, then understood, and with a clear and clear voice, simply announced a name: "Feng Liao!"
The smile on the corner of her mouth deepened, and there was a little smile in her voice: "Young Master Feng? The little girl didn't hear clearly just now, why don't you say a few more words, so that the little girl can confirm... Is someone impersonating you? The voice coaxed me to open the door?"
Feng Liao chuckled lightly, and said through the door: "It's only been a few days since we saw each other, Miss Yong doesn't remember my son's voice? Such forgetfulness, she is not the clever and intelligent woman in my memory!" Lowering her voice, she slightly He said with a joke, "Who are you, how dare you pretend to be Miss Yong?!"
Yong Ruo nodded: "It is indeed Mr. Feng's voice! The little girl is rude!" This narrow-mindedness is exactly the same as Mr. Feng's!
Of course, what he said about himself was pleasing to the ears.
She opened the door and saw a few people and horses outside the door, and said: "Wait a minute! I'll remove some small organs first, so as not to hurt you by mistake."
"Trick?" Feng Liao looked around the yard curiously, "Do you still know the trick?"
Yong Ruo smiled wryly: "I can't talk about understanding tricks. It's just a few simple tricks. At most, people will suffer a little injury, and they won't have much effect..." It's not much better than those children's pranks in movies and TV dramas , mainly to scare and warn people.
She plucked here and there in the yard a few times, dismantling the key parts of those organs, and then invited Feng Liao and others to come in.
He warned again: "The fence is still covered with bamboo nails, so don't go into the fence."
Only now did Feng Liao walk in, and asked as she walked: "Everyone else knows that there are bamboo nails in this yard, so naturally they won't repeat the same mistakes. Are those bamboo nails still useful?"
Yong Ruo said: "So I added a small mechanism under the wall, but I don't know how effective it will be! Do your best and obey the destiny!"
After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "Actually, even if I arrange the defense in the yard ten times better, I still can't deal with Luo Tong and the Wu family... We can hide in the yard for a day or two, and we can hide for ten days." Half a month, hiding for the rest of my life? I have to go out! If the young master doesn’t come tonight, tomorrow I will have to ask someone to come to the door for help with the young master’s name badge!”
"My son left the famous thorn to the girl that day, it was very wise!" Feng Liao said with some pride.
Yong Ruo flattered with a smile: "My lord is naturally wise!"
After leading Feng Liao to the main room to sit down, Yong Ruo found out that he was dusty, and asked, "Where did you come from, my lord? Why does he look like this?"
"I just came back from Ruzhou, so I came to see you." After Feng Liao finished speaking calmly, she secretly looked at Yong Ruo's expression.
"Ruzhou?!" Yong Ruo was shocked immediately. Her father's elementary school apprentice Wang Hu was from Ruzhou!
She looked at Feng Liao in surprise: Mr. Feng's going to Ruzhou has nothing to do with her, right? She felt a little confused in her heart: Could it be that she was being sentimental and thinking too much
Feng Liaomu smiled, and stared at her with good eyes: "That's right! I went to Ruzhou to find Wang Hu, your father's elementary school student!"
Seeing Yong Ruo's surprised face, he was very satisfied. Stretching lazily, twisting his neck and rubbing his shoulders, he let out a long breath: "Oh, I'm exhausted!"
"Then did you find it?" Yong Ruo asked eagerly.
Wang Hu is the key to her father's case!
If Wang Hu can be found, it is possible to reverse the case for her father.
If she can reverse the case for her father, her family can get rid of the status of being a criminal. Her younger brothers can study and take the imperial examination. The identity of "after the criminal" always suffers from blind eyes and discrimination!
Feng Liao didn't answer her, but rubbed her face, and asked with a smile: "Miss Yong, can you get me a basin of water to wash my face? I'm rushing back from Ruzhou, and I'm feeling uncomfortable all the way. It won't be too late to talk about these gossips after I wash up and say hello to my aunt."
Yong Ruo almost rolled his eyes, thinking: Is this gossip? ! This is the most important business, right
It seems that Mr. Feng has already found the turtle grandson surnamed Wang, otherwise how would he have the nerve to be so arrogant? If he didn't find it, he probably wouldn't even mention "I've been to Ruzhou", right? !
"Okay! Young master, please sit down for a while, I'll fetch water to wash your face." With a plan in mind, Yong Ruo suppressed his anxiety and showed the patience and enthusiasm for receiving big customers.
Feng Liao nodded in satisfaction, and made a new request: "There is still tea! I have been to your house three times, and I have never had a sip of tea!" in a very aggrieved tone.
"There is no such thing as 'tea' in our house. Why don't I pick some bamboo leaves or plum blossoms, wash them and boil water for you to drink?" She was just joking.
Unexpectedly, Feng Liao's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Okay, okay! I haven't drunk the water boiled with bamboo leaves and plum blossoms yet! Uh..."
He thought for a while, then shook his head again: "Forget about plum blossoms! I can't bear to boil them to drink! Just drink bamboo leaf water!"
Yong Ruo Yizhi: I was joking, but you took it seriously
She thought for a while, then shook her head: "Forget it! I don't know if the water boiled with bamboo leaves can be drunk. How can I afford it if you drink it badly? We all drink boiled water in our family, and I will give it to you too. Get a bowl of boiled water?"
"Also!"
Yong Ruo then called Yong Qiao out and asked him to pour boiled water for Feng Liao and the others, and if it was not enough, boil it again.
The boiled water satisfies Feng Liao first, but Su Mingjian and others are not enough to drink. A guard said, "Just give us some more water, there is no need to burn it."
Yong Qiao shook his head like a little adult: "My sister said: no matter how clean the water is, there will be hidden disease and disease in it. You have to boil it and drink it so that you won't spoil your stomach! Just bear with me!" Shinobu, I'll boil some more water soon."
