Chapter 173 Sending a message to Wang Tongpan
The tenants of the farm did not dare to come near, and looked at the lady who always smiled at them, and started beating them without hesitation.
Seeing the Liu family steward swearing at the beginning and then being beaten to the point of being speechless, Zhu Mingqing waved his hand and called for a stop.
She took two steps forward and stepped on his face with her moon-white embroidered shoes, crushing it hard twice.
The voice was as cold as the wind in December.
"Just tell your master that this lady is waiting!"
For a moment, the Liu family's steward felt that he might have done something wrong.
impossible!
They were just a group of people who were demoted to Guancheng, and what's more, he was doing it for his master.
The master won't blame him.
He staggered to his feet, glared at these people fiercely, and then limped away with them.
The excitement died down, the banquet was almost over, and the crowd gradually left.
Zhu Mingqing's mood was indeed affected.
She had just returned to her room to rest when Manager Chao suddenly came.
"I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night, Madam. But I just heard important news from the government office, and I'm eager to report it to you right away," he said tentatively. "I heard there's going to be a big move in the city tomorrow night. Madam, you should stay at the farm for a few more days before returning to the city."
Zhu Mingqing knew it well, but still asked, "What big move?!"
Manager Chao glanced at Hongmei and took two cautious steps forward. "This news is extremely secretive. I heard they're trying to arrest someone, and they're all extremely heinous criminals!"
Zhu Mingqing glanced at him and asked, "Then how did you know that?"
Manager Chao smiled cautiously and said, "Madam also knows that my cousin is on duty at the government office."
"I'm asking...how did your cousin get to know such secret information?" Zhu Mingqing's voice was calm, but no one could ignore it easily.
Manager Chao touched the sweat on his forehead and thought it was really weird.
So scared to do anything.
The lady has always been gentle to others.
He laughed and said, "My cousin is a yamen runner, so..."
Both of them understood what was said next.
Although yamen runners have no status in the official system, they are the first people to access various information.
Apart from the prefect of Guancheng, they are probably the ones who know the most about every aspect of Guancheng.
After Manager Chao left, Zhu Mingqing thought about what would happen tomorrow night.
Now that she knows everything, it shows that the confidentiality of this matter is not strict.
"Red Plum!"
she shouted.
"Madam, I'm here." Hongmei immediately got up from the couch in the compartment, put on her clothes and walked in.
Zhu Mingqing handed the envelope he had just written to Hongmei, saying, "Send someone back to the city tonight and make sure it's delivered to the Second Young Master."
And it was midnight.
Luo Huai, who was about to fall asleep, received a letter from his mother, opened the envelope and took out a complete letter from it.
Letter to the emperor: Personally from Magistrate Wang!
It was late at night and Wang Tongpan had already fallen into a deep sleep, reserving his energy for tomorrow's event.
And right in his dream, he caught all the human traffickers in one fell swoop. He was loved by the people in Guancheng and praised by the governor of Youzhou. The feeling of being respected came over him again.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
There was a knock on the door.
Both the couple were woken up.
"Sir, the second young master of the Luo family is visiting!" A voice of announcement came from outside the door.
Wang Tongpan was still dazed, but he suddenly came to his senses when he heard about the Luo family.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Mrs. Wang frowned and yawned.
"Madam, please take a rest. I'll be back soon." Wang Tongpan said a few words to comfort her, lifted the quilt and bed curtains, put on his shoes, put on an outer robe and went out.
When Wang Tongpan came back, he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
He tossed and turned in bed, making such rustling noises that Mrs. Wang slapped him on the back.
"Are you going to sleep or not?!"
Wang Tongpan was startled and stood up suddenly, facing the other party: "You are not asleep yet."
Mrs. Wang sighed, stood up, and sat cross-legged on the bed.
In the deep night light outside, looking at the wrinkles on the master's forehead, he said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Judge Wang pursed his lips and told the news he had just learned.
The couple always consulted with each other on everything, especially on important matters, and they never hid anything from each other.
Mrs. Wang was anxious when she heard this: "Why don't you think about what to do now?"
"The plan has changed. We will arrest people tonight." Wang Tongpan explained quickly.
Only then did Mrs. Wang breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, the Luo family got the news in time."
When she said this, her expression changed slightly.
"But the Luo family actually knew about this before you, Master..."
They both knew what this meant.
The night was dark and the atmosphere was silent, but the two of them could hear their heartbeats pounding.
"master……"
"Luo family..."
The couple spoke at the same time.
Mrs. Wang: "You speak first."
Wang Tongpan also sighed deeply. "From the grand opening of the restaurant to this evening's news, Madam, I can see that even if the Luo family has been demoted, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse."
Madam Wang agreed, "Besides, Madam Zhu is very capable and saved our family before. My husband, you must not change your attitude towards the Luo family just because of your promotion!"
Judge Wang snorted, "Am I that kind of person?!"
Madam Wang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Alright, I didn't know you before. You've been suppressed in Zhencheng for decades, and now you can finally let go. Your power as an official has also grown."
"Madam, you have really hurt my heart..." Wang Tongpan cried out for justice.
"Don't interrupt!" Madam Wang punched him and said solemnly, "I don't understand officialdom, but you're certainly familiar with it. But there's one thing you must remember."
Wang Tongpan hurriedly said, "Madam, please speak!"
"If Madam Zhu and Lord Liang had not notified us in time that day, we would not have seen our family by now, let alone the position of Tongpan. We would have forgotten it." Madam Wang believed in Buddhist teachings and knew how to repay kindness. This was a matter of life and death.
I've come to inform you in advance tonight.
If the plan fails tomorrow night, my husband's position will be unstable.
The Luo family saved them again.
Mrs. Wang could understand these principles. Wang Tongpan had been an official for many years, so he was certainly clear about these little principles.
But he thought more.
I’m afraid that the Luo family is more than just this!
"I'll go to the study to wait for news. Madam, you should go to bed early." Judge Wang stood up and was about to go out.
"Don't go out." Madam Wang stopped him. "The study is hot. Wait here."
…
The next day, just as dawn broke, sunlight poured out from the clouds.
Wang Tongpan and his wife waited anxiously all night, but later they could not hold on any longer and fell asleep.
At this moment, the sunlight shining through the window frame stung my eyes.
Wang Tongpan, who was lying on the table, slowly opened his eyes and suddenly became sober as if he had thought of something.
Mrs. Wang was also awakened by the sound of the bench falling to the ground. She half-knelt on the bed and looked at the sky. She asked worriedly, "Why is there still no news?"
