Chapter 372 Young Madam, Help Me
Shen Wan had long intended to recruit these people into her team, and now that Hu Dahai had taken the initiative to ask, there was no reason for her to refuse.
"Okay, then it's settled!" She thought for a moment and said, "But you have to accept whatever amount I offer you. If you refuse, you're looking down on me!"
After hearing this, Feng Er's eyes moved slightly.
In his thirty-plus years of life, this was the first time he had seen someone voluntarily give more money.
Although he didn't like Shen Wan, Feng Er had to admit that this woman was indeed worthy of close friendship.
As long as you treat her well, she will give back to you twice as much.
Then look at his own licentious master, who actually raped a woman and almost ruined Xie Murong!
Thinking of this, he became more and more irritated.
Seeing Shen Wan was so straightforward, Hu Dahai was not polite: “Okay, then I’ll do as my sister says!”
When the brothers heard this, they nodded quickly like chickens pecking at rice.
They were just about to say a few words of thanks when there was a sudden knock on the door.
After hearing this, Feng Er stood up and opened the door.
He was a handyman at the post station, and now he was very content to be able to have dinner with Shen Wan.
So if there is any heavy work, he will be the first to do it.
As soon as the door was opened, the howling north wind swept across the entire hall with heavy snow.
Feng Er shuddered.
Looking up, I saw Feng San and several fugitives standing at the door.
Feng San's face was pale, his clothes were tattered, and he looked even more haggard than when he was in exile.
"Why are you here?" Feng Er frowned slightly.
He doesn't like Feng San.
Ever since Feng San went to the quarry, he never thought about visiting.
Feng San's legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thump.
He choked with tears and said, "I...I want to see the young lady!"
Hearing the sound, Shen Wan and others also walked to the door.
Afraid that she would be blown by the cold wind, Ranqiu immediately took a cloak and put it on her.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Shen Wan frowned slightly.
As soon as he saw her, Feng San kowtowed several times and said, "Young Madam, please go and see my wife."
"After work today, I quietly went to see her and found out that her left leg was no longer working."
"I know my wife is not a good person, but I hope the young lady can show mercy and save her!"
Shen Wan didn't find Feng San's arrival strange.
The reason is very simple, because it was Feng Sanniang who hurt her leg herself. Who told her to bully Li for no reason?
Li is an honest man and never takes the initiative to cause trouble.
Mrs. Feng San even bullied her, which shows how vicious she is.
"If she's not a good person, then why should I save her?" Shen Wan's face was gloomy, and her voice was even colder than the north wind outside the door. "You're anxious because she can't move one leg, but have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if Fourth Sister-in-law rolled down the stairs?"
"You go."
"Not kicking her when she's down is already the greatest kindness I can show her."
Feng San is a coward, but he is not someone who does not know right from wrong.
After hearing this, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
Seeing the guilt in Feng San's eyes, Wang Qi couldn't help but sneer: "If you have time to look for people everywhere, you might as well persuade your wife to mend her ways."
"We can talk to you calmly now because we know you are not a bad person."
"But if you continue to be stubborn, then it's better not to have any contact with you in the future."
When Feng San heard this, his face became even uglier.
"Go ahead." Without waiting for his explanation, Feng Er said coldly, "We should rest."
Before he finished speaking, he wanted to close the door.
The other prisoners saw this and immediately kowtowed like chickens pecking at rice: "Young Madam, help me!"
"What's the matter with you guys?" Xie Mubai saw this and a hint of obvious impatience flashed across his eyes.
When the fugitives heard this, they couldn't help but burst into tears.
Their voices were hoarse as they slowly told the story.
Ever since they arrived at the quarry, the officers there have never treated them as human beings.
They were not well fed or clothed all day long, and were assigned the heaviest and hardest work every day.
After a few days, several prisoners could no longer bear the stress and fell ill.
Only then did they realize how happy they were on the road of exile.
As long as Shen Wan is here, they don't have to worry about survival.
But now when I open my eyes, I see the endless huge stones.
"But this matter is not easy to handle." Before Shen Wan could speak, Hu Dahai frowned, "You are directly under the charge of Chu Wei, and the young lady and the prince do not hold official positions, so it is not convenient for them to interfere in this matter."
Upon hearing this, several convicts pleaded desperately, "Young Madam, please save us! If you don't care about us, then we will all be doomed."
"As long as you are willing to save us, all our lives will be yours!"
In fact, it’s not just them. The women in the camp also have a hard time.
Their tender hands now have to soak in cold well water all day long.
If he was even slightly slower, he would be severely beaten.
Looking at those pairs of tearful eyes, Shen Wan felt a little reluctant.
"You guys go back first." She thought for a moment and said, "Let us think about this matter slowly."
"Ranqiu, go to the kitchen and get them some more food."
Soon, Ranqiu came over with a big bag of food.
As soon as they received the bundle, the convicts started eating without even washing their hands.
One of the first-rate criminals ate the fastest, and a mouthful of steamed bun went straight into his throat.
"Eat slowly." Shen Wan looked at him and quickly handed him a cup of tea. "How long has it been since you last had food?"
The convict sipped his tea hastily and mumbled, "I had a steamed bun this morning, and then I could only drink cold water."
There is a shortage of coal now, so it is naturally impossible for the officials to give them hot water to drink. But how can they even withhold their steamed bread?
After hearing this, Shen Wan's eyes turned red.
"Just bear with me for a few more days." Her eyes were red as she forced a smile. "The prince and I will definitely do our best."
The exiles' eyes also turned red, and they looked at Shen Wan with tears in their eyes: "Young Madam, I really leave everything to you."
"We have to go back quickly."
"If we were discovered by the police, we would definitely be beaten again."
The quarry has extremely strict regulations, and once the convicts enter, they cannot come out at will.
In order to survive, they took the opportunity to sneak out.
If he was caught, he would definitely be beaten again.
"I'll have someone take you back." Looking at their thin faces, Shen Wan felt a little reluctant. "It's faster to take a carriage, and you don't have to be too tired."
When Hu Dahai heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go."
"If I'm really discovered by the police over there, maybe I can still have a say."
After all, he had been a government official and knew a few people at the quarry.
Although we are not familiar with each other, we can still say a few words.
After hearing this, the prisoners' tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string.
They wanted to thank them, but Shen Wan stopped them: "Don't say thank you, you should go back and wait for my news."
At her urging, several convicts followed Hu Dahai into the carriage.
Feng San still didn't give up and looked at Shen Wan with complicated eyes.
She can save so many people, why can't she help Sanniang?
