Chapter 177 Salt Gang
Xiao Yunshuo threw the two men to the ground. Hearing the footsteps of Shen Fenghe coming in from behind, he didn't turn around and asked calmly, "Are you hiding from me?"
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Is it so obvious?
"No! How could that be? You know I'm a prisoner now, and I'm staying at the post station. If I leave the post station to look for you, wouldn't it give someone a handle if I'm discovered?"
This reason was very sufficient and Xiao Yunshuo could not refute it, but he just had a vague feeling that Chen Fenghe had an ambiguous attitude towards him.
If she despised him because he was falsely accused of treason and had lost his power, she was actually sincere to Qin Mengyue and Hao'er. If she hadn't taken care of them along the way, her mother and the ninth prince might have died inexplicably long ago, and he would never have lived to see his memory restored and recognize them.
So...she just doesn't like him, that's why?
Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yunshuo couldn't help but feel depressed.
Chen Fenghe has decided to put this matter behind her, not to dwell on it, and let everything take its course.
So she quickly walked over, took out a silver needle from her bosom and gave the two people who were knocked unconscious two injections to wake them up.
The two men woke up quickly and found that their hands and feet were tied and their mouths were sealed.
Chen Fenghe said, "I'll take the cloth out of your mouths. Don't make any noise. Otherwise, this is a government post station. If we alarm the postmen, we won't be the ones to suffer."
The two men also knew how powerful it was and nodded quickly.
Chen Fenghe then took the cloth out of their mouths and asked, "Tell me, what are your intentions by breaking into the post station in the middle of the night and blowing smoke into our room?"
The two men looked at each other and said, "Lady, please spare us! We...we have no ill intentions. We just want to take back the bag that you picked up and took away during the day. We have no other intentions!"
Chen Fenghe sneered in his heart, it was indeed so.
"Take it back? You hid the package under Mr. Yun's carriage without permission. Do you know that if I hadn't caught the fallen package in time and hid it, if it had been seen by the city guards, it would have been a disaster for Mr. Yun! Are you so self-serving that you don't care about other people's lives? That boatman was a reasonable person this morning, but he said one thing to your face and another behind your back. Then, for a few taels of silver, he would implicate others! What? Is this how you, members of the Salt Gang, navigate the underworld?"
Upon hearing this, the two men hurriedly said, "Lady, what happened today was truly our brothers' greed for a small profit, and we did it behind the boatman's back! Lady, please don't wrongly blame others, and don't wrongly blame the Salt Gang. Today, we brothers are in the wrong, and we will let you handle it as you please. But please, lady, please don't spread this matter. Otherwise, if we brothers are arrested and sentenced to prison, it will be a small matter, but if we ruin the reputation of the Salt Gang, that is a big deal, and we can't afford it!"
Chen Fenghe didn't know that they were from the Salt Gang. She just guessed and lied to them. However, she didn't expect that she actually guessed it right.
However, in this case, she couldn't really take the bag of salt and leave it there.
After all, firstly, she didn't take the salt block seriously. Secondly, although the two men acted individually, the Salt Gang was a big gang in the underworld. If they offended them rashly, it would be a trouble in the future.
