Chapter 384 The Frightened Lady
Fang Laoliu knelt down and begged for mercy: "Aunt, Miss Feng, I will never dare to do it again!"
He was quite smart and could see that Feng Aoqing was not an ordinary person, and Chonglou respected her very much, so he asked for help as well.
Feng Aoqing grabbed Chonglou's hand and said, "Forget killing him. It's just a loss of money. The important thing is to know why the fire started so that we can prevent such a situation from happening again."
Chonglou thought about it and put away the knife in his hand. If he wanted to treat him, he couldn't do it in front of this person.
"And all the gambling houses in this town, whether overt or covert, must be closed down. This is the biggest disaster!"
Chonglou nodded in agreement. "What I hate most in my life is gambling. I'd chop off my hands if I saw anyone gambling. I didn't expect you to open an underground gambling den in this town! Great! I think some people's hands are too long."
Chonglou left behind some knowledgeable people to check the situation here to see if they could find some clues.
Then, she found out about the underground gambling house and sent people to arrest these people.
After a while, the people below led a group of people to kneel in the front yard.
These people are the ones who often gamble openly or secretly.
Feng Aoqing watched Chonglou punish the gamblers in the hall in the front yard while treating the injured.
Fortunately, they were just minor skin injuries and no major problems, but the people outside the house were more seriously injured than those inside.
Several of the people in charge had their fingers chopped off, and those who often participated in gambling were hung against the wall and were being whipped. The executioners swung the whips loudly, without any mercy, and screams were heard everywhere.
"That's a good punishment! There's not a single place on the ground or underground in our Hantian Valley." Yu Tiannan cursed in a low voice.
"That's right." The people from Hantian Valley in the room echoed.
"Yo yo yo, hiss~!" Feng Aoqing was disinfecting his wound, and he was caught off guard and cried out.
Ning Xiaohe pinched his good arm and said, "Why are you yelling? You're yelling over a little skin breakage! Are you a man?"
"I'm not crying out in pain! It's because the medicine given by the master is icy cold and it froze me! It really hurts when you pinch me!" Yu Tiannan retorted.
Everyone burst into laughter.
"It's summer now, don't take minor injuries lightly. It will be troublesome if they break. Everyone must check their injuries for me every day, understand?" Feng Aoqing instructed.
"Yes." Everyone agreed. Everyone knew that if the injury was not healed, it would implicate Feng Aoqing, so they were all very obedient.
After the injuries were treated, everyone leaned over the window, drank iced tea, and watched the torture.
Then I heard a woman screaming.
The people in the room looked at each other in confusion.
The maids in this courtyard have murder cases on their hands. How can they scream when someone is whipped? Cheating is more like it.
"Oh no! Miss Lin and the others!" Siyan finally remembered these two people.
When I went out to the hall, I saw Cai'er fainted from fright and fell on Lin Ziyan. Lin Ziyan couldn't see and didn't know what had happened. She also sat down on the ground, trembling.
Siyan helped Lin Ziyan, and Ning Xiaohe picked up Caier.
Ning Xiaohe's name sounds like a petite girl, but it's not the case.
She was a tall person, a typical northerner, a full head taller than Feng Aoqing and even taller than the tall An Jinge, which contrasted well with Yu Tiannan's tall stature.
When the couple stood in the room, they both felt that the room was not spacious enough.
Cai'er was a thin girl, only about 1.5 meters tall. She was like a little chicken in her hands, and she just picked it up and walked away.
Feng Aoqing took out a tube of medicine and put it under Cai'er's nose and let her smell it, and she started crying.
"Finger! Oh my god!" As soon as she woke up, she threw herself on the chair. An Jingge was quick-witted and kicked the trash can next to her chair, just in time for her to vomit with a "wow".
Fortunately, there are trash cans wherever there is wind and clear sky.
"Cai'er! What happened? Did you hurt your hand? Please answer me!" Lin Ziyan asked worriedly.
Siyan held her hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Lin, Cai'er is fine, and her hand is not injured."
"Miss Siyan, what happened to her? Is she sick?" Lin Ziyan asked again.
"Miss, I... I'm fine, let's go! Let's go back to the room!" Cai'er wiped the sour water from the corner of her mouth, then stumbled to Lin Ziyan, helped Lin Ziyan up and left.
It was as if everyone in the yard and the house were demons.
Siyan smiled and said, "Do you need to be escorted? Don't get dizzy again halfway through the journey, leaving your young lady alone. She's going to fall down!"
"No, no need!"
Cai'er didn't dare to turn her head or look sideways, and she leaned against the corner of the wall and returned to the yard where she lived.
Feng Aoqing patted Siyan and said, "They grew up in a large courtyard, never leaving the main gate or the secondary gate. They have never seen anything like this before, so it's normal for them to be afraid."
Just now, Feng Aoqing saw everything about the two people falling.
"Yes, my courage is certainly not comparable to yours!"
"Good, you've learned how to flatter. I appreciate it! As a reward, go clean that finger of yours! Don't scare people anymore!" Feng Aoqing patted her shoulder.
Then he walked to the wall and acted as a good-looking guy.
Cai'er helped Lin Ziyan back to the room. They lived in the side yard for guests. Once the gate was closed, there were only a few of them, so it was quiet and convenient for her to heal her eyes.
Cai'er first helped Lin Ziyan into the house, then turned around and went out to close the gate and lock it.
He returned to the room, closed the door and locked it.
"Cai'er, what's wrong? Why do we close the gate in broad daylight? It's hot, and others will think we are doing something shameful!" Lin Ziyan asked.
"Miss, we will leave as soon as your eyes get better. From now on, we will never leave this yard. You must listen to me." Cai'er said anxiously.
"Tell me the reason, I'm listening. Don't be impatient. We are the Lin family, and we can't lose face for our family. If you were in the mansion today, you would be punished!"
Lin Ziyan is worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family. Although she lost her mother when she was young, her family is large and she has been raised by the female elders of the Lin family since she was a child.
"Yes, Miss, I was disrespectful today, but you didn't see it just now. They chopped off people's fingers one by one and threw them on the ground. I, I... I stepped on them!"
When Cai'er thought of the feeling under her feet, she quickly took off her shoes, changed into another pair, threw the pair in her hand far away into the corner of the yard, and then came back.
"Think about it, in a small town that doesn't belong to any country, what kind of people can you expect? They're all desperate, and there are bound to be some extremely vicious people among them."
"You're right. I've seen that their faces are all bad and scary."
"So, if a town like this wants to be peaceful, it must have strict rules. It's no wonder Aunt Chonglou is like that." Lin Ziyan understood.
"You don't know, that Feng Huajun, watching people outside being whipped and having their hands chopped off, he remained calm and even smiled, with food in his hands! I'm really enlightened!" Cai'er looked confused.
"She is a doctor. Doctors are cold-hearted. The rumors in this world are not all false." Lin Ziyan lowered her voice.
"They are so terrible. I wonder if the Master knows what kind of person she is!"
"Of course, I wouldn't be like this in front of the Master. What woman would show her bad side to her beloved? In front of the Master, I would be the graceful, steady and elegant Feng Huajun."
