Chapter 12 Can you come and save me? Wang Zhizhou wants...
It was easy to find out what Wang Zhizhou wanted to know.
Everyone in the capital knew that the daughter of the former Minister Ji was engaged to the son of Marquis Yan. Both of them were outstanding children of officials in the capital. However, when the Yan family fell into trouble, the daughter of the Ji family turned her back on him, immediately broke off the engagement, and started flirting with the new top scholar, which was extremely unkind and unjust.
After this incident, the Ji family girl's original reputation in the capital was ruined. Fortunately, God had eyes and did not let such a person who flattered the powerful and bullied the weak have a good life. Within a few years, the Ji family stood on the wrong side because of the party dispute and was sentenced to exile.
The person sent to inquire about the news repeated this, saying: "The daughter of Minister Ji is Miss Ji of the mansion, and the son of Marquis Yan is the current General Dingxi."
Wang Yuan's face was as gloomy as water. "Anything else?"
"I heard that before the Yan family fell on hard times, Miss Ji was famous for her beauty and had many admirers." The man looked at the prefect's increasingly gloomy face and spoke haltingly, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."
Before he could say anything, Wang Yuan swept the teacup off the Eight Immortals Table with his sleeve, smashing it to pieces.
All the tea foam and tea leaves spilled. He slammed the table, his chest heaving in anger, and cursed, "Bitch!"
"You're pretending to be a chaste heroine in front of me, but you don't even realize what kind of person you are."
"Master, calm down, Master, calm down..."
The person who brought the news kowtowed repeatedly in fear and groaned in his heart.
"You are so bold and daring that you have deceived me."
Wang Yuan was thinking about how to torture her and let her taste the feeling of deceiving himself, but then he thought that the evil spirit asked her to abandon him, and he was afraid that she would inevitably suffer heartbreak.
No wonder he looked so reluctant when we met again.
He calmed down, rolled his eyes, and gave a sinister smile.
"I believe our great general also hates this woman to the extreme." He spoke slowly, his tone unpredictable.
The people below looked up cautiously to see what was going on: "What does the master mean?"
"Since the border is uneasy, we naturally have to maintain good relations with General Yan."
Wang Yuan blew on the tea that the maid brought back, took a sip, and said leisurely, "It will vent the general's anger."
The teacup was placed on the eight-immortals table, making a slight clinking sound.
"Send her to reward the troops."
…
Although the delicate flowers raised in the capital are born smart and clever, they are inevitably naive because they grow up in a wealthy place.
The most sinister human nature I have ever experienced is only indirect factionalism. I have never seen a dead person, let alone facing the evil people directly.
Even though Shuozhou had been experiencing wind and snow for a few days, people in Beijing still kept to their old ways of fighting with swords and spears. Everyone wore masks and tacitly maintained a calm surface.
But I never thought about how it would end if someone played against the rules.
…
When the servant rushed into the yard, Ji Yunchan was chatting with the little dancer about Shuozhou City in spring.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. The little dancer, Linglan, looked out the window in confusion, "What's going on?"
Someone pointed in this direction through the window frame.
Ji Yunchan's heart skipped a beat, and the smile on her face slowly faded.
Linglan looked at her worriedly: "Sister Ji, why do these people look like they are coming for you?"
Seeing the people outside approaching, Ji Yunchan didn't care about anything else and suddenly grabbed the little dancer's hand, "Linglan, do me a favor."
Linglan nodded hurriedly, "Go ahead."
"Help me find General Yan in the east of the city..."
Before he could finish his words, the door was slammed open from the outside.
The two doors shook under the weight, and several burly servants rushed in without saying a word. They were indeed coming for Ji Yunchan.
Ji Yunchan took a few steps back, not afraid of danger: "What does this mean?"
The ferocious servant quickly grabbed her and sneered, "Young lady, you'd better save your energy and go to the steward to argue your case."
This kind of escort reminds me of the soldiers and officers who broke into my house when I was in exile.
Ji Yunchan's heart sank deeper and deeper.
In the courtyard, all the dancers were in a panic. Some were watching the fun, some were whispering, and in a corner where no one was paying attention, Lily of the Valley took advantage of the chaos and sneaked out.
…
There are people in this world who, if they cannot get what they want, they will destroy it.
Being pinned to the ground and unable to move, this thought popped into Ji Yunchan's mind when she saw her brother and sister-in-law who were also tied up.
She struggled to raise her head, her eyes bloodshot, and saw Manager Liu standing on the front eaves. The desire to find out what had happened overcame her fear, and she shouted hoarsely, "Manager Liu, what does this mean?"
Manager Liu watched her struggle coldly: "It doesn't mean anything else, it's just what you saw."
Ji Yunchan's face was covered in dirt, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were filled with the rage of being cornered. "You go back on your word!"
The head teacher had disliked her for a long time, and she came up and slapped her in the face.
"Eldest sister!" "Sister!"
The younger brother and sister-in-law beside him cried out in pain, but were held down tightly.
The slap was delivered with full force. Ji Yunchan felt that all five senses were lost, her ears were ringing like cicadas, and then she felt a burning and swollen sensation on her face.
Ji Yunchan tilted her head slightly, and her fair cheeks were now red and swollen.
No one had ever hit her since she was little, and this slap was like a bucket of water poured over her head. When Ji Yunchan realized what had happened, she felt a chill run down her body.
I am so naive and ridiculous.
I thought the prefect would lose interest in her after learning about her past and would let her go... I was totally wrong.
For the first time, she realized with such horror that in the face of power, no tricks would work, and it would be easier for the prefect to crush her than to crush an ant.
As if to prove her point, the nanny beside her didn't stop beating her and sarcastically said, "Who do you think you are?"
"I'm afraid the bitches in the brothel are cleaner than you. How dare you act so arrogantly here!"
This statement further confirmed Ji Yunchan's guess.
Ji Qinnian, who was standing by, had never heard such dirty words before. Unable to bear the humiliation of his sister, he shouted, "Shut up!"
The teaching nanny gave a look, and the servant beside her suddenly kicked Ji Qinnian.
He kicked again and again, without losing strength or stopping.
"Qin Nian!"
Ji Yunchan wanted to rush over, but was held down by someone.
On the other side, as if receiving an order, Ji Yun'e's collar was suddenly pulled by someone. She screamed and grabbed it, but was no match for the servant's strength.
Ji Yunchan crawled forward, her nails scratching desperate white marks on the bluestone floor, and she didn't even notice that they were broken.
"That's enough." Steward Liu waved his hand and said to the nanny as if warning, "What will we do if this face is damaged?"
Everyone on both sides stopped.
"Miss Ji, I don't understand what you said." He took two steps forward and stopped in front of Ji Yunchan. "What do you mean by 'going back on one's word'?"
Ji Yunchan pressed her face against the cold ground, feeling exhausted like a wilted flower, unable to utter a word.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Butler Liu snorted. He poked Ji Yunchan's face twice with the tip of his shoe, and felt that such a face was a pity. "I asked you to follow our master before, but you refused. Since you don't want to drink toasts——"
He stretched out his tone and turned around without mercy: "Don't blame our master for being ruthless." Then he waved his hand to the servant who was holding Ji Yunchan: "Let her go."
The servant who was holding Ji Yunchan down let go.
She rushed over and embraced her trembling sister, then knelt in front of her brother who was unable to get up, and whispered heartbreakingly, "Qin Nian, Qin Nian..."
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Ji Qinnian guessed something from the fragments of her words and spoke reluctantly, "Sister, don't agree to anything they ask you to do."
Seeing her brother in such a state, Ji Yunchan couldn't help but burst into tears.
Kidnapping someone and taking them to one place without doing anything to them is more like a threat than a punishment.
But now that everything is hers, what bargaining chips does she have left?
It was not up to her to agree or not.
Ji Yunchan rested her head on her brother's shoulder, closed her eyes and shook her head silently.
Just don't get you into trouble.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then slowly knelt down in front of Manager Liu, lowering her head with eyes ashen. "I'll just follow your orders, Manager."
