Chapter 293: Farce in the City
In the animal-head-shaped incense burner, calming incense is burning.
The smoke rose up and then gradually dissipated in the mid-air.
Chen Ningyuan rubbed his aching brows and placed the stack of letters on the table.
When Yi Ge saw the signature on the envelope, his eyes flickered slightly.
However, before she could ask, she heard Shen Ningyuan speaking in a slightly tired voice.
"Tell me, what is Ji Yunnuo's purpose in doing this?"
Ji Yunnuo is a member of the Ji family after all. Would he really do such a thing?
Shen Ningyuan was deeply skeptical about this.
But according to the information they had, Ji Yunnuo's mother died tragically in the marquis's mansion, and was even wrapped in a tattered mat and thrown into a mass grave.
It seems reasonable for him to do such a thing.
Yi Ge thought about it for a long time and considered it for a while before giving his own opinion.
"In fact, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with Ji Yunnuo doing this. For him, the Marquis' Mansion has borne his life's pain, so it is reasonable for him to want to go back completely."
Lan Yin also took the opportunity to say, "I don't think we need to make things so complicated. I guess he is just returning the favor."
What they had done was no longer a secret in the mansion.
Judging from the current situation, even if Ji Yunnuo is not their ally, he is definitely not an enemy.
There is no need to stand against them just because of a vested interest.
Shen Ningyuan thought about it carefully and felt that what they both said was right.
The expression on his face relaxed a little.
"Forget it. It's boring to think about it so much. Let's see if these things are useful!"
But when they finished reading the letters and the contents recorded in them, they showed no joy at all.
Shen Ningyuan tapped the tabletop lightly with her fingertips, a mocking smile on her lips.
Everyone sighed sarcastically.
"The entire mansion is rotten from the root, it stinks beyond belief!"
Just because of some letters, all the things recorded in them were the evil deeds done by several masters in the Marquis' Mansion.
They bullied people in the market, killed innocent people, beat and killed slaves, took bribes and perverted the law, bought and sold official positions, and all kinds of other things happened.
It is simply too numerous to describe in words!
However, this evidence is far from enough.
It is not enough to plunge the Ji family into irretrievable disaster.
This Marquisate is, after all, a century-old noble family. If you want to completely overthrow it, you must commit the grave crime of treason and treason.
Otherwise, if the root of the problem is not eradicated, it may come back again.
Shen Ningyuan was unwilling to leave such a handle.
The reason why so much time was wasted and secret plans were made step by step was to uproot the entire Marquis' Mansion and leave no future troubles.
Shen Ningyuan stood up and slowly walked to the window, sitting sideways on the beauty couch.
Just when she was feeling depressed, Ji Yunchuan wandered outside the city for a few days, and finally found an opportunity to sneak into the city.
It didn't attract anyone's attention.
The reason he was able to reach the city so smoothly was, on the one hand, because he disguised himself as a beggar and blended into the group entering the city.
Another reason was that he secretly contacted the person sent by Xie Yuming to pick him up.
But even so, there were several times when the clues were almost discovered.
After Ji Yunchuan arrived in the city, he looked around calmly.
However, just at this one glance, he saw several familiar faces and his heart trembled.
Just as he was in a trance, he felt a pain in his shoulder and then was knocked heavily to the ground.
As soon as Ji Yunchuan raised his head, he saw the person who secretly delivered the message to him standing two meters away from him.
At this moment, he was standing with his hands on his hips, glaring at him and cursing viciously.
"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? You are blocking the road. You are simply courting death. Are you tired of living? How dare you get in my way!"
Ji Yunchuan was not a stupid man. In a split second, he understood his intention.
He quickly put on a submissive look and kept begging for mercy.
"Sir, please let me go. I didn't mean to do that..."
The tall man didn't buy it at all. Instead, he became more and more angry. He took two steps forward, grabbed him by the collar, and cursed him viciously.
"How can it be so easy? You soiled my clothes and you want to deny it? Dream on. I will make you pay the price today!"
Ji Yunchuan's face froze for a moment, and he seemed a little confused. What was going on?
But subconsciously I was still begging for mercy.
"Sir, please spare my life. My life is worthless..."
The sturdy man still refused to give in. He grabbed him by the collar and dragged him forward like a dead dog, cursing as he dragged him.
"If you provoke me, I won't be named Li if I don't teach you a lesson today!"
The movement of the two of them together only attracted a glance from the people around them, who then looked away.
It's because things like this happen every day in the city, and people have long been numb and no longer surprised.
Naturally, there will be no such thing as seeing injustice and helping others.
After all, speaking out when seeing injustice is a plot that only exists in storybooks.
In reality, most people are indifferent and choose to protect themselves.
Especially the sturdy man with a dark face and a sturdy build. It was obvious that he was not someone to be trifled with. It was totally unnecessary for him to stand up for a dirty beggar.
Even if you succeed, you might still get yourself into trouble.
The sturdy man dragged Ji Yunchuan for several hundred meters until they came to a remote alley, and then let him go.
Ji Yunchuan reached out and tugged at his collar. His neck was stuck and it was really uncomfortable, so he rubbed his neck.
He frowned and looked at the strong man with displeasure.
"It's just a show, why do we have to take it seriously?"
Just as the sturdy man was about to speak, a cooing sound was heard.
Ji Yunchuan's face turned red and he felt extremely embarrassed.
I have been sleeping in the open outside the city these days. Not only can I not have a full meal, I can't even have a good sleep.
At this moment, he was thirsty and hungry, and was in great pain.
In addition, he had just been treated like that by that burly man and his body was already exhausted to the extreme.
Ji Yunchuan coughed twice while suppressing his embarrassment, "Um... I'm a little hungry, can you find me something to eat?"
The strong man refused without thinking.
"Master Ji, the master has been waiting for a long time, so don't waste time. Of course, if you can withstand the master's anger, just pretend I didn't say anything."
After this reminder, Ji Yunchuan seemed to suddenly think of something bad, and his face turned pale and blue.
Not daring to make any more requests, he quickly replied.
"In this case, let's go without further delay."
As he spoke, his expression became anxious and worried at a speed visible to the naked eye, with a hint of imperceptible fear.
