Chapter 19: Duplicity



"ah--"

The screams like slaughtering pigs echoed through the mountains.

But it came from the mouth of Old Mrs. Feng, and Feng Daqiang, whose right hand was broken, had his eyes rolled back and fainted.

"Murder, murder!"

Old Madam Feng's shout startled the birds in the forest, "The Wei family killed my grandson. Sir, you have to take care of this for us!"

The officer, whose trouser legs she grabbed, kicked away in annoyance.

Old Mrs. Feng fell backward and sat on the ground. Before she could open her mouth again, her second son spoke hurriedly.

"Mom, Daqiang is not dead, he just fainted."

Old Mrs. Feng got up from the ground, still indignant, "But they can't break Daqiang's hand!"

Wei Yunlan glanced at Old Lady Feng indifferently, and his eyes fell on the other Feng family boys who were tied up.

Those Feng family boys immediately started shaking like sieves.

Wei Yunlan pretended not to see it, and was about to tell Suihe to take action, when several Feng family boys hurriedly said tremblingly: "Don't, don't break our hands, we know we are wrong!"

Wei Yunlan turned a deaf ear to him and said, "Suihe."

At the command, Suihe, who had just broken Feng Daqiang's right hand, walked over.

The sound of dripping water and a fishy smell came from under the Feng family boys. Seeing that Sui He was about to attack them, she hurriedly shouted, "Grandma, Grandma! Save us!"

Old lady Feng, who was just now shouting and cursing arrogantly, finally had the last bit of defense in her heart collapse at the cry for help.

His knees went weak and he fell to his knees in front of Wei Yunlan.

"Miss Wei...Miss Wei, please let them go!"

"Why?" Wei Yunlan finally turned his gaze to Old Lady Feng.

"They are still young and just a little naughty, but they haven't committed any crime..."

Wei Yunlan turned his gaze away coldly again. Old Madam Feng slapped her thigh and changed her tone, "They were wrong. They shouldn't have stolen things. It's all my fault that I didn't teach them well. They won't do it again in the future. They won't dare to do it again in the future!"

"Miss Wei, please let them go this time!"

The Feng family boys also shouted, "We don't dare anymore, we don't dare anymore, we really don't dare anymore!"

Wei Yunlan remained silent until he saw Lord Feng wearing a wooden yoke walking towards him. Then he relaxed and looked past the collapsed Old Lady Feng and several Feng family boys to Lord Feng who was walking towards him.

"This is just the first time. I hope that Lord Feng will take good care of his family in the future and don't let them cause trouble to our Wei family again. Otherwise, the other people in my family are not as easy to talk to as I am."

Lord Feng's face was tense, with a guilty look in his eyes. He raised his fist towards Wei Yunlan and said, "Thank you Miss Wei for your mercy. I will definitely control them in the future."

After that, he glanced at his nephews and nephews on the ground with a look of disappointment, and said to the Feng family members beside him, "Why don't you take them back quickly and stop embarrassing yourself here."

Wei Yunlan did not stop him.

In fact, Suihe had a very good control of the strength. She only dislocated Feng Daqiang's wrist. If he behaved himself and stopped moving, she could find a more reliable doctor to reconnect the bone later.

But if they are not so honest... they are bound to develop a chronic disease, and then we can't blame them, we can only say "it serves them right"!

"Lord Feng looks like a sensible man, why are his family members like this..." Tingxue muttered in a low voice.

Wei Yunlan glanced at Lord Feng's back, and a sense of vigilance rose in his heart, "This Lord Feng is not simple."

Compared with other people in the Feng family, she felt that Lord Feng was a ruthless character.

If this man was really as sensible, gentle and modest as he appeared to be, how could he allow his family to become like this?

He did not stand up when the Feng family took advantage of him before, but he stood up this time because he was in the wrong and had to step forward.

By showing off like this, he could also separate himself from the others and use his family's vulgarity to highlight his own rationality. No matter how Wei Yunlan looked at him, he felt that this person was two-faced.

Even if we defeat the other members of the Feng family this time, we still have to be careful and guard against this person in the future.

There was already a Liang family with suspicious behavior in the team, plus a scheming Lord Feng. The more Wei Yunlan thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed. A certain idea that had arisen in his mind before could not help but arise again at this moment.

Just then, a breeze blew by, rustling the leaves in the forest.

In the forest halfway up the mountain, a group of people hid behind the rocks.

"Second Commander, I have checked it out. Below is a group of prisoners and their families being escorted."

Looking down from halfway up the mountain, you can see a long and mighty procession, with horse-drawn carriages in the front and mule-drawn carts at the end. At first glance, you might think it's a merchant caravan from somewhere.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be an exiled criminal.

The bearded man holding a scimitar raised his mouth sarcastically, "He brought so many things with him even though he was exiled. Could he be a noble from the capital?"

"How many officers are following in the team?"

"Less than thirty."

"Brothers, get your weapons ready. Once it gets dark, we'll take action!"

The big man smiled obscenely under his rough beard, "Brothers, you can grab the gold, silver, treasures and women in the team. Just don't touch those police officers and criminal officials, they won't dare to chase us up the mountain!"

As the sky gradually darkened, it became increasingly difficult for the team to move forward under the dim light.

I originally thought that I could walk out of Yue Heng Mountain before dark, but when I was two-thirds of the way there, I was blocked by several rocks.

The official had no choice but to order each household to send people to help clear the road.

After working for nearly half an hour, most of the rocks piled in the middle of the road were cleared away. The remaining rocks would take a while to clear away so as not to affect traffic.

There was a rustling sound in the mountains. In just a moment, Wei Yunlan had seen many small animals hiding in the forest, running away in fear.

I don’t know if he was shocked by their team or for some other reason.

The gloomy environment made his mood gloomy. Looking up at the mountain, Wei Yunlan's eyelids kept twitching.

"Lan'er, what happened?" Gao was the first to notice something was wrong with her daughter.

"Mom, I always feel uneasy, as if something is going to happen." Wei Yunlan said frankly.

Gao followed her daughter's gaze towards the mountain and didn't see anything unusual, but she didn't take her daughter's words lightly.

Gao always remembered what his grandfather once said: people should trust their intuition.

Her instinct at this moment was to trust her daughter's instincts!

"Yue'e, keep Jiayan by your side and don't let her out of your sight."

"Mingxuan, come closer, the team is about to set off. Follow closely and don't go too far."

"Lan'er, take care of yourself later. Suihe, protect your young lady."

After a series of instructions were given, the team moved forward again. The Wei family members gathered around the two mule carts, and everyone was much more alert.

Wei Yunlan tightened the dagger in his sleeve and turned to look behind him.

Right next to the road, on an exceptionally lush tree, Yu Qi, wrapped in black clothes, suddenly revealed himself in front of her gaze.

His expression was quite solemn.

Wei Yunlan's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, something really happened!
