Then, the black-faced fox quickly sneaked into Mr. Zhu's bridal chamber and came out carrying the bride in less than a moment. He nimbly avoided the guards of the mansion, turned left and right, climbed the wall, and reunited with Ye Wanqing.
Ye Wanqing was surprised and said, "Brother, why did you steal his bride when you could steal something else?"
"Oh, Black-faced Fox, I will not only steal his bride, but also make a big fuss in his palace." Fu Yi carried the bride down the high wall of Zhu Mansion and sent her to the carriage at the entrance of an alley.
Someone was already waiting there. He was wearing a dark blue gown with many patches on it. When he saw Fu Yi carrying the bride over, he quickly went to greet him, "Xiao Cui."
The bride quickly lifted her red veil, revealing her bruised face. She cried and hugged him excitedly, "I must be dreaming. I can still see you."
"Okay, let's go quickly. Take the money and go live in the southern border." Fu Yi took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and motioned for them to get on the carriage and leave quickly.
"Thank you so much, benefactor. We will never forget your kindness." The two of them knelt down and kowtowed to Fu Yi, thanking him repeatedly. "May I ask your name? We will definitely repay you if we have the honor in the future."
"Black-faced fox, jade-faced civet cat." Fu Yi answered concisely, "We are brother and sister."
He sent the eloping couple away, took Ye Wanqing's hand, and once again jumped over the high wall of the Zhu Mansion. "Next, it's time to teach Master Zhu a profound lesson."
Ye Wanqing looked at him rolling up his sleeves as if he wanted to show off his skills, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Is he really the big devil?
Why do I feel like he's quite cute like this?
However, this thought only lasted for less than an incense stick of time, and the Great Devil used his own strength to once again tell her what a Great Devil was.
He wore a black jeweled mask, an alluring red robe, and a friendly smile on the corners of his lips. He sat on the backs of a group of guards, with his legs crossed leisurely. The white cloth bag on the ground was already filled with gold, silver, and treasures looted from Master Zhu's house.
The masters of the Zhu Mansion were kneeling on the side, trembling, and kept begging for mercy. He even pried out the big gold teeth in the old lady's mouth.
"Black, Black-Faced Fox, my king, this is really all I have at home. If you really want it, I, this old man, will give you two concubines."
Fu Yi's gentle voice was tinged with a smile as he said, "Really? You've all been cursed by this great king. If you dare to lie, you'll get sores on your buttocks."
Ye Wanqing listened to him fooling the wealthy man with a frown on her face, feeling that the situation was quite sinister.
"Really, really all my family fortune is here. My king, please put away your magical powers and let me go!" Master Zhu knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"I don't believe that the great Master Zhu has such a poor family background." He pointed at the concubine in the crowd and said, "You, come out."
The woman came out timidly, "My lord, your name is me?"
"Slap him hard twice and ask him what's hidden in the cellar."
"Your Majesty, I dare not." The woman shook her hands in fear, tears streaming down her face.
"Whoever is forced to reveal the hidden things will own them if we find them." Fu Yi jumped out from the crowd and said, "If you don't dare, I'll slap you. If I force them to reveal the hidden things, they will all be mine."
When Master Zhu heard this, he immediately became anxious and hurriedly urged: "Fan, fan quickly!"
"Master, I dare not." The woman knelt on the ground crying.
Without saying anything, Fu Yi slapped Master Zhu twice in the face and asked, "What's hidden in the cellar?"
Mr. Zhu's cheeks suddenly swelled up into two very symmetrical lumps. He looked mournful and said incoherently, "Green, green vegetables and radishes."
"Oh, it seems two slaps weren't enough." Fu Yi grabbed his collar and slapped him twice more. "What's hidden in the cellar?"
"Wuwuwu..." Mr. Zhu refused to say anything.
Fu Yi tilted his head and translated his words: "Oh, he said gold."
"Wuwuwu..." Master Zhu had been beaten to the point where he couldn't speak.
"And what is buried under the garden? Is it also gold?"
Two servants swiftly pried open the cellar door, walked in, exclaimed, and quickly retreated, retching.
"So many, so many..." They sat on the ground, talking incoherently.
When everyone heard that there was so much gold, they came forward and slapped Mr. Zhu in the face, grabbed his clothes and asked him where he had hidden the gold.
Fu Yi stepped out of the noisy crowd, picked up the package of gold, silver and jewelry on the ground, took Ye Wanqing's hand, and quickly climbed over the wall.
"Brother, why don't you take away the gold he has hidden?" Ye Wanqing asked him in confusion.
"Because the constables are coming soon, we are the chivalrous black-faced fox and jade-faced civet cat, so we naturally have to avoid the government officials." Fu Yi touched her head gently, put a long indictment and a map on a small knife, and nailed it to the mahogany doorpost of the Zhu Mansion.
"So what should we do with these stolen goods?"
"Of course it's compensation to the families of those he killed." Fu Yi took out a long list from his sleeve, divided the gold, silver and jewelry into many small portions, put them one by one in bags, and drew a fox head and a cat head on the slips of paper.
"Let's go, let's return these things to the people they belong to." Fu Yi had changed back into his luxurious black brocade robe. He carried the heavy bag, held Ye Wanqing's hand, and delivered the gold and silver in small portions to the victims' homes one by one according to the addresses on the list.
"What about Master Zhu?" Ye Wanqing followed him as he leaped across the rooftops of the streets and alleys. She couldn't help but worry whether the punishment for Master Zhu was too light and whether he would continue to do evil and force good women into prostitution.
"His cellar is full of corpses of people he tortured to death. If so many dead bodies and charges are not enough for him to go to jail, then the next person he will be trying to be a hero will be the officer who judged him." Fu Yi said calmly, with a beautiful arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Ah." Ye Wanqing exclaimed softly. No wonder Fu Yi didn't let her go to the cellar to search for gold. So this was the reason!
"Brother, do you often do this kind of thing before?" She ran after him and threw the small bag containing money into the place marked on the map.
Fu Yi smiled faintly and replied, "Hmm? Occasionally."
Ye Wanqing asked, "How did you know so much evidence of their crimes?"
"Well, someone will send a commission to the Yunnuan Pavilion founded by the Thousand-Faced Fox. After verifying that it is true, someone will take the order and take action. I only do this occasionally. There are knights who specialize in taking orders. It is a way to make money and do justice at the same time, so many people are willing to do it."
"It really is a Thousand-Faced Fox!" Ye Wanqing said excitedly, "Brother, have you ever seen a Thousand-Faced Fox?"
"Yeah." Fu Yi nodded mysteriously and said, "You've seen it too."
