When the truth was revealed by some insiders from back then, everyone was surprised.
It's unbelievable that someone would actually kill someone over this, and kill nearly two hundred people in one go.
This shouldn't be a big deal. Normally, women who marry down usually live separately from their husbands' families.
They all have their own families now, which can be seen as a kind of compensation for these girls who sacrificed themselves for their families.
Those who are able to marry down are usually from families that are experiencing some problems. Families are more tolerant of those who are willing to sacrifice for their families during such times.
After hearing about the Shen family's actions, everyone gasped in shock. What kind of family could do such a thing?
For such a trivial matter, they killed an entire family. Gradually, everyone tacitly distanced themselves from the Shen family.
However, out of consideration for their shared family background in Qilian Prefecture, they did not abandon them.
When Lord Deng heard about Wen Bing's situation, he also came to me and admitted his mistake in person.
Although he hadn't been transferred there yet, he didn't shirk responsibility, but Wen Ge simply accepted the exoneration.
However, he did not regain his original identity; he was originally an orphan with no family.
So all they did was clear the names of the people at the outpost, but they didn't restore his original name. In his words,
If he continues to live under this name, then he won't be lying to me.
We just smiled at each other and didn't talk about it anymore. Qi Xianwan also came to see Brother Wen.
I wanted him to give up revenge, but Wen Ge didn't budge and just remained silent. I watched their interactions and was speechless for a long time.
He directly confronted Wen Ge, saying, "If you really like her, just say so, and I'll arrange for you to marry her and live a peaceful life with her. If you don't like her, just say so too, and we'll wipe out the Shen family and go back home."
Wen Ge remained silent, which infuriated me. But everything changed when I saw the Shen family patriarch.
Looking at him, I exclaimed with surprise, "Wow, it's a jade pendant!"
He was Jiu Yuan's sweetheart back then, the one who destroyed Jiu Yuan's two families. Jiu Yuan and I searched for him for a long time in Fengtian Prefecture and Jichun Prefecture but couldn't find him.
So he changed his name and hid here. No wonder we hadn't heard from him.
I quickly went up and shook his hand, feeling it to confirm that it was indeed him. I did this to verify his identity.
But other people thought I looked a bit creepy; everyone frowned, wondering what I was up to.
I couldn't explain anything, so I just suppressed my laughter, quickly greeted Lord Deng and the others, gave them all some money, and then ran away.
I know that Jiuyuan also knows that although she can't come through the Black Chamber, it won't take much effort for her to fly over like this.
I knew I was being implicated and needed to run away quickly, so I hurriedly said, "I've extorted 60 million this time, 10 million each from the military, the workers' association, and the police."
I'll also send ten million to Zhou Wusheng, and the rest will be distributed among the friends who came today: ten thousand each to the military, twenty thousand each to the union and police, and the rest is mine."
Everyone was surprised to hear this. I was really generous. I gave away the lion's share all at once, and everyone got a cut. No one was left out.
After I finished speaking, I quickly apologized to everyone, saying, "I suddenly remembered that something happened at home, and I need to borrow the military's plane to get back to Fengtian Prefecture as soon as possible. Lord Deng, please be accommodating!"
Without further ado, Lord Deng agreed.
