Chapter 308: Daughter of an Old Friend
what to do?
How would he know what to do?
Ichiro Ishii's face was gloomy. With all his schemes, he couldn't even fly out of Tianjin, let alone this prison.
Apart from the prisoners, the only people from Dazhao that they came into contact with every day were the nine yamen runners on duty.
I wanted them to help convey a message to Yu Zhijian, and I spent countless money and materials, but until now, I still don't know whether they actually delivered it.
After a lot of effort, they were finally able to pass the court session, but one of them was given ten great beatings on the board.
The charge was fighting in prison.
Is that what they were going to fight?
It was obvious that the three big men were going to beat them up.
But Mr. Yu ignored it and directly sentenced the case to mutual fighting.
After ten strokes of the board, they were all interrogated separately like dead dogs.
It was not until that day that Ichiro Ishii learned that Shoji Kaneda and his team's operation had failed.
Not only did he fail, but he also implicated all the clansmen in Dazhao.
Ichiro Ishii was confident that as long as he could confront Kaneda Shoji face to face, he would not bring harm to their delegation.
But, that bastard was in Xuzhou, and all he got was his confession.
It is too easy to falsify a confession.
What's more, there are more than just Kaneda Shoji's confessions there.
Ishii was stubborn and stood up to Yu Zhijian, not admitting any connection with Kaneda Shoji. But in the blink of an eye, one of the servants couldn't help being frightened and was ambushed by Yu Zhijian's words, so he said something he shouldn't have said.
Ishii was almost going crazy. He finally persuaded the servant to change his confession, but he didn't expect that the servant would die within just one night.
By the time he found out, his body stiffened.
Ishii suspected that it was the three big men who had been bullying them in prison who did it.
But there is no evidence.
When he was talking to his attendants about retracting his confession, he used Japanese, so it is not reasonable for them to understand.
The death of the servant made Ishii suspect that there was someone in the prison who could understand their language and order the three big men to do things.
"grown ups……"
Mizuno Chihiro is still begging.
If he had known it would be so difficult to get out, he would have rather stayed in prison.
Seeing him like this, Ishii gritted his teeth and finally didn't give him all his cards.
Kaneda Shoji has implicated many people.
Because of his carelessness, their arrangements in Dazhao had already alerted the Dazhao officials.
Does Yu Zhijian really know nothing about Mizuno Tomohide?
perhaps……
He is just the line he puts out.
"Once Lord Yu says so, you can go to the capital and look for the Rakshasa envoys!"
ah? Mizuno Chihiro was stunned.
Do the Rakshasa envoys know who he is?
All of them have their eyes on the top of their heads, and they are indifferent even to the adults.
he……
"If we can save you, we will. If we can't, as long as you try your best, everything else will be left to God!"
"……yes!"
Mizuno Chitaka finally felt relieved and said, "I will definitely work hard."
As expected, he went to find Yu Zhijian.
Yu Zhijian was just as he guessed. He said that he was only the official of Tianjin. Whether Japan sent another delegation or whether Dazhao informed Japan of the delegation's situation had nothing to do with him. He was only responsible for his own people.
Helplessly, Mizuno Tomohide took half of the silver given to him by the mysterious man and gave it to a smarter boatman, asking him to go to the prison from time to time and give some silver to the adults to improve their food.
He hired a carriage and headed straight for the capital.
At this time, the Japanese hiding around the capital actually knew the situation of the delegation.
But they couldn't do anything.
Because of the assassination in Xuzhou, the Dazhao officials are now investigating them particularly closely.
All those who were slow were put in jail.
Not only that, there are many people in the martial arts world who are also looking for them.
The slogan those people raised was "The greatest heroes serve the country and the people!" '
Pooh! I wonder how many Japanese people secretly said "Pooh" to this sentence.
But the most hateful thing is that this so-called Jin Daxia is related to Ningguo Mansion.
Everyone only knows that the book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was written by him, but he is a mysterious person who is hard to find. His book was printed with the help of Madam Shen from Ningguo Mansion.
It is said that many people in Beijing want to find this hero Jin, but no one dares to ask her.
now……
We can only keep a low profile and wait for the right opportunity.
April 17th, Jinling.
Early in the morning, a line formed in front of the stall of Lawyer Li, who specializes in writing lawsuits for clients.
This will totally screw him.
This is a place for him to write a petition, not a place to write a letter!
"Uncle, this is where I write my complaint. Who do you want to sue?"
In Jinling City, there are some people whom you cannot sue.
Lawyer Li needs to ask clearly first, otherwise even if the old man takes the lawsuit, it will be useless and he may even get beaten up.
"The old man wants to sue Wang Ziqi."
"Wang Ziqi? But he is a member of the Jinling Wang family?"
Since the name contains the characters "Zi" and "Yue", he must be Wang Zipeng.
The Wang family has been in bad luck recently, and Wang Zipeng has been put in prison.
Considering that the direct branch of the Wang family was suppressed by the Jia family, Attorney Li felt that he could earn this money.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. The Wang family is the most domineering among the four families. If possible, he would be willing to be one of the people pushing down the wall.
Unlike some people who think there is still hope for a turnaround in Wang Zipeng's case, Attorney Li, who specializes in this field, thinks it is impossible.
Madam Shen of Ningguo Mansion is a person who will not tolerate any injustice, and the Wang and Jia families have no room for maneuver.
It would be fine if I didn't take Wang Zipeng, but I took it...
Even though Jia Zhen was a fool, he would not go against his mother on the Wang family's affairs.
What's more, he is a filial son.
Not far from the team, he saw Mr. Xing from the Jia family and suddenly he understood something.
"Yes, that's right, it's the Wang family of Dongcheng."
When Attorney Li looked at Xing'er, the old man also gave Xing'er a particularly flattering smile.
"Go, bring some benches."
Xing Er bared his big white teeth and said to the people around him, "Everyone sit down and queue up. It's okay. We have plenty of time."
The ones being cooked today are the Wang family.
The master was determined to suppress the Wang family first.
"Come on, come on, we can write a petition here too."
After he finished shouting at the people in line, he turned to Attorney Li and said, "Attorney Li, how about this? We will help write the petition and you will help check it. If there is anything wrong, you can give us instructions on the spot and you can take the money for writing the petition. We will do a good deed every day."
"Okay, okay, I don't dare!"
People say that one should do good deeds every day, so he should do good deeds every day!
Lawyer Li believed that he would not suffer any loss by helping the Jia family.
So before long, petitions were sent to the government office one after another by the victims.
They were all complaints against the Wang family.
From invading other people's land, to robbing other people's wives and daughters, forging documents, falsely accusing others, etc., almost all the masters of the Wang family were caught in one fell swoop.
Prefect Chen's forehead was covered with sweat. He knew that the Jia family was going to use a big move, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
But don’t answer…
He glanced at the Jia family's stewards outside the government office who seemed to be watching the excitement, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said, "Come here, arrest Wang Ziqi quickly!"
The victim has a complaint and evidence, so it’s useless to say anything.
…
In the government prison, Wang Zipeng, wearing prison clothes, paced back and forth anxiously.
The only one who could save him was his cousin Wang Ziteng.
But he was still fighting in Annan.
Don’t say that distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if it can, can my cousin go against that Shen again because of him?
Wang Zipeng doesn't care much about Jia Zhen, even though he was promoted last year, but a playboy is still a playboy.
The fact that he was able to discover something wrong with the Beijing camp so quickly and report it to the Emperor was most likely due to Shen's guidance.
Without Shen, Jia Zhen is nothing.
The emperor sent elite soldiers to escort him. Was the person escorting him, Jia Zhen? Bah, it’s that woman from the Shen family.
She was able to have a baby last year…
Thinking about how Shen had suppressed Jia Jing for his entire life, and thinking about what his cousin said about her having an affair with her brother-in-law, Wang Zipeng couldn't help but wonder if there was something unclear between her and the emperor...
Judging from various news coming from the capital, Wang Zipeng admitted that she had some ability, but no matter how capable a woman was, she could only stay in the back house. It was impossible for her to get to the front without the support of a man.
Bang! Wang Zipeng hit the wooden fence with his fist.
The fist hurt, but not as much as the headache he was having right now.
This woman has always been unyielding. After pinning him down, she will definitely pursue him.
"Wang An!"
"master……"
In the cell next door, the butler who was imprisoned with him felt very nervous when he saw their master walking back and forth like this.
Hearing this, he hurriedly knelt down across the prison door.
"I have treated you well over the years, haven't I?"
Wang An: “…”
He began to understand what their master meant.
He...he will take the blame for all the crimes.
"The master treats me like a second parent."
The whole family is here.
If he refuses to acknowledge it, even if the master falls, his entire family will not be able to escape.
Wang An lowered his head. "No matter what decision the master makes, I...I will listen to the master."
“…Write a blood oath!”
Wang Zipeng sighed deeply and said, "I recognize you as my brother. From now on, your children will be my nephews and nieces."
"yes!"
He won't live to see tomorrow.
Wang An's body felt a little weak, and he knelt down holding the railing, "Master, you are fine."
After bowing his head, he lifted up his prison uniform with shaking hands, tore off a large piece of cloth from his inner clothes, bit his fingertips hard, and began to write his confession.
But at this moment, a sound of "Ouch, ouch" was heard from the cell door, followed by the sound of chains and dragging footsteps getting closer and closer.
Bang~ "Stay still."
A man was thrown in, beaten half to death.
“Ouch~~”
Wang Ziqi's buttocks were broken, and he was shaking with pain after being thrown down like that.
“Zi Qi…”
Wang Zipeng couldn't believe it. "You...why are you here?"
"Fourth Brother~"
When Wang Ziqi saw his cousin, tears streamed down his cheeks, "The Wang family is finished."
Shen has such a cruel heart!
Over the generations, the number of daughters from the Wang family who married into the Jia family could not be counted on one’s ten fingers.
But she said she would turn against me.
"What's going on?"
"Woo woo, the Jia family has mobilized even the peasants, Ziyou, Ziwang and the others have all been arrested, and Prefect Chen has turned his back on them!"
What? Wang Zipeng's eyes went dark.
He thought it was just him.
It was he who helped the Japanese, it was he who worked for the Japanese, but he didn't expect...
"Someone, someone, I want to see Chen Zan, I want to see Chen Zan, I want to see Jia Zhen, someone, someone, someone!"
But now, who cares about him? Prefect Chen is very busy now.
All the yamen runners in the mansion were extremely busy.
Soon, more members of the Wang family and their stewards would be arrested.
The Wang family’s sky collapsed today.
Ito Rui and others who were imprisoned in a deeper place and were dying heard the roaring and crying outside and felt cold all over.
The Wang family has fallen, what should they do? Do the missionaries know that they are suffering?
Even if they knew and were willing to send people to rescue them, their clansmen in the prefectures and counties along the canal had probably been imprisoned.
How long will it take to rescue each family until they reach Jinling?
Can they afford to wait? Ito Rui's heart sank, his body felt even colder, and his buttocks hurt even more.
They were put on display in the shackles for three days. Although they would be sent back in the evening, only they themselves knew how painful it was to stand on their buttocks for a whole day.
Even if there is a doctor to treat the disease and apply medicine at night, what’s the use if you can’t get rest?
While Ito Rui was breathing heavily and thinking about his own way, all the women of the Wang family had already cried to their own families.
The brave ones went straight to Ningguo Mansion and cried, kneeling outside the door, begging Shen Ning to show mercy.
I beg the Jia family to consider the fact that we are relatives and not kill us all.
But how far is the gate from the yard where Shen Ning is?
She couldn't hear it at all.
At this time, the mother and daughter were boating in the lotus pond. Chen Ning picked a lotus leaf and placed it on her daughter's head.
"Hehe~~"
Jia Yue was laughing so happily.
Chen Ning was also very happy. She found a lotus leaf and covered her head with it to block the sun.
"Wait a minute, when it gets hotter, I'll teach you how to swim."
What do children do if they don’t play?
Just play when you have to.
In one’s life, except for childhood, when one can be happy, the rest of the time…
"When you learn how to swim, we will go to the hot spring resort in the winter."
She wanted to go last year, but unfortunately she didn't make it because of her life.
This year……
Chen Ning felt that if she worked for a few more months, she would be able to drive away most of the Japanese who needed to be driven away, and that would be enough.
After all, the emperor's family is the only powerful one in the capital.
"Zhuang~"
Jia Yue has very little to say now, and most of the time, he speaks one word at a time.
"Zhuangzi!"
Shen Ning taught her daughter with a smile.
In the pavilion not far away, Rong Ge'er was still reciting his lessons.
However, I’m almost done memorizing it.
Just then, Xiaoxi came running over from a distance, "Madam!"
She called out to people on the shore, "Madam, I found the girl you were looking for."
What? Shen Ning was a little confused at first, but after reacting, she hurriedly said, “Hurry up and get to the shore.”
At this time, Zhen Yinglian, who was waiting at the back door, tugged at the corner of her clothes and looked at the tall courtyard with a frightened look on her face.
She knew that the so-called father was not her biological father.
But she was abducted at the age of three and could not remember where her home was.
At the beginning, she tried hard to remember, but after being beaten more severely, she fell ill several times. Gradually, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember.
Today I am going to the alley entrance to get some wine for my dad.
It’s just a few steps.
Unexpectedly, she was pulled over and told that she was the daughter of an old friend of their wives.
Zhen Yinglian was very scared.
With just a few tugs, 'Dad' was driven out.
In the past, it was 'Dad' who beat her, but today he was beaten by someone else.
I was very happy, but also very nervous.
She doesn’t remember her home, her parents...are her parents okay?
