Chapter 148 Beating
When Wen Chengyun returned to the room, Wen Chengming had not yet rested. He was sitting at the table with a book in his hand, pecking at rice like a chicken.
Since his exile, his younger brother seemed to be much more studious, which Wen Chengyun was very pleased about. However, he did not agree with him studying late into the night. After all, he was still young and would have plenty of time to review his lessons in the future. There was no need to rush.
The candlelight was dim. If he damaged his eyes, wouldn't that be worth it? He approached quietly, intending to lift the person up and place him back on the bed to rest.
However, just after he was picked up, Wen Chengming had already woken up a lot: "Brother, you are back..."
"It's not too late to review the book tomorrow, just rest tonight."
Wen Chengyun spoke briefly, but he didn't expect his younger brother to put his hand around his arm and not let go, and then started biting his ear.
Despite his young age, Wen Chengming is a very smart person. Neither his elder sister nor his sister-in-law mentioned anything. After dinner, he simply went out on the pretext of digesting his food.
When Cheng Weiyao opened the door, Wen Chengming glanced at Goudan's appearance and remembered it in his mind. He could tell at a glance that he was a little beggar and was well-informed. He knew everything about him after asking around.
So, Wen Chengming, who felt sorry for his elder sister's loss, started to complain, and of course he also mentioned the matter of his aunt's lost silver, without any bias.
"Little clever ghost, nothing can be hidden from you."
Wen Chengyun gently reached out and scratched Wen Chengming's nose, then gently placed him on the bed.
He did have some objections to Cheng Weiyao punishing Wen Liyu, mainly because he saw the blisters on Wen Liyu's hands. It turned out that the cause of the incident was theft.
That is indeed what he deserves and he should be punished.
As for the series of events that followed the theft, he couldn't just sit back and watch. Even if he was exiled, he was still the blood of the emperor. If he dared to set his sights on Ah Yu, this matter would not be easily resolved.
"Brother, where are you going?"
Wen Chengming half-raised himself from the bed, his big eyes full of confusion. His brother had clearly taken off his coat and was about to rest, so was he preparing to go out again?
"Brother is going out to avenge your sister. Today, I will teach Cheng Ming a lesson: if you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman. If you don't redress an injustice, you are not a man."
Wen Chengyun looked back and smiled slightly. He changed into a black coat, covered himself with a black cloth, and jumped out from the windowsill.
Zhang Haiyu's name is very famous in Qingshi Town. He was extorted of a sum of money by Cheng Weiyao during the day, and then he ran away to a place with red lights to have fun at night.
In the brothel's side room, Zhang Haiyu, with his eyes covered by a black cloth, was playing a game of cat and mouse with the top prostitute.
"Xiao Yuyu, where are you? If I catch you, you'll be in trouble!"
Perhaps because he didn't succeed during the day, Zhang Haiyu specially found a girl with jade when he was having fun at night and played a substitute game.
After he returned to the government office, he thought more and more that something was wrong. How could he have been so fooled by just a few words? He asked the servants of the Zhang Mansion to go to the government office to check the household registration of the people in the Qingping Palace.
It is true that she is a princess, but it is also true that she was exiled. She has been exiled so far away, what is there to be afraid of? The probability of her returning to Beijing is probably pitifully low, so he does not intend to pay the subsequent silver.
But considering that he couldn't do anything extreme and it was not easy for him to take back the money he had already given him, he had to find comfort here.
Wen Chengyun on the eaves had a disgusted expression on his face. It was not difficult for Zhang Haiyu to guess what he was thinking, but it was precisely because of this that it was even more disgusting.
The girls in the brothels have all been specially trained and are good at flirting. How could they be easily caught by Zhang Haiyu? She kept silent and changed her position carefully. She only made some deliberate noises to hint at Zhang Haiyu when he really couldn't find her.
Wen Chengyun found that both of them were immersed in it and the window was unattended, so he rolled over silently and hid in the room.
The gauze was fluttering in the room, and the girl vaguely sensed movement by the window. When she was about to lift the gauze to check, Wen Chengyun chopped her down with a knife and knocked her to the ground.
Wen Chengyun moved his hands silently, but the girl made a "uh" sound before she fainted, which was heard by Zhang Haiyu.
"Xiao Yuyu! I caught you this time, hehehe...
Zhang Haiyu had a lewd smile on his face as he lunged forward and indeed touched a muscular waist.
It feels a bit hard...
Zhang Haiyu's movements froze slightly, and he raised his hand to pull off the black cloth covering his eyes, but Wen Chengyun was not going to let him succeed easily.
Wen Chengyun clamped down Zhang Haiyu's hand as he tried to remove the black cloth, and took out the sack he had prepared.
This was something he picked up when he passed by the back streets and alleys when he entered the brothel. It is especially suitable for beating pig heads.
"Is this some special show?"
The smile on Zhang Haiyu's face froze. He had a vague bad premonition. There was nothing else like it in a place like a brothel. They played tricks on people. Not to mention screams, even cries for help would be considered fun.
After all, in addition to the girls, there are also prostitutes in the brothels...
A harmless and gentle smile appeared on Wen Chengyun's lips. He raised his hand and knocked Zhang Haiyu unconscious. He carried him and ran to the back street of Yanhua Lane.
"Fuck you! You dare to hit me? Believe it or not, I'll let my dad chop off your head!"
Zhang Haiyu woke up to a flurry of punches and kicks. His limbs were folded at strange angles and tied in a sack. He felt a buzzing in his head and pain all over his body.
His father? Zhang Daming? As an official appointed by the imperial court, he allowed his son to commit a crime, knowingly breaking the law, a crime that is even more severe. When the imperial court orders the elimination of corrupt officials and parasites, Zhang Daming will be the first to fall!
Now he was just collecting some interest in advance. If it weren't for the overall situation, he would have wanted to chop off all ten of Zhang Haiyu's fingers and feed them to the dogs.
"Please spare my life, my dear, I can give you whatever you want, can't I? I have women and money, even little girls!"
It would have been fine if Zhang Haiyu didn't say anything, but as soon as he spoke, Wen Chengyun's eyes were filled with blood and gore. He had obtained a lot of clues during his secret investigations these days.
Embezzling the imperial government's charity funds for beggars was the least of their worries. This group of people even took advantage of the beggars' unique situation and specifically selected girls for trading.
As for those that were broken, they either died or were thrown into brothels to fend for themselves. It can be said that the government office in Qingshi Town was the long-term source of goods for the brothels.
The beating lasted until Zhang Haiyu could no longer make any sound.
Because he had committed so many evil things and had so many people who hated him, even though he didn't know who had done it, he directly and irrationally resented the Qingping Palace family. After all, his bad day had all started with Wen Liyu!
Damn woman, this isn't over yet! Before he completely lost consciousness, Zhang Haiyu was still gritting his teeth and thinking...
