When Lin Qingyu agreed, Ji Qing thought he was hallucinating.
Manager Du was also somewhat surprised, but the young master's concern would ultimately benefit Ruan Meng's future business of medicinal herbs and prepared medicines.
They are all people that Manager Du and Ji Qing care about, so it can't hurt to strengthen their ties.
Not long after the carriage started moving, Ruan Meng called out to the driver.
Ruan Meng gave the coachman some copper coins, and her relatives helped her inquire about Granny Liu's nephew near the county government office.
The reason I brought Fan Zizhong instead of Song Shiwen a few days ago was precisely for this matter.
Fan Zizhong couldn't get into prison, and even if he spent money to visit him, it wouldn't help.
Ruan Meng brought Fan Zizhong here not just to have him visit and be ridiculed!
This beast drove Granny Liu to her death; Ruan Meng will never forgive him!
Back then, I asked Xiao Kai to find someone to whisper in my ear, just because I was sure that this bastard would settle scores with Wan You. I could make him teach Wan You a lesson before he died!
Otherwise, if we beat this bastard to death with one blow, wouldn't that be letting the culprit, Wan You, off easy?
It's a pity that this grandson is so useless; he only injured Wanyou. Wanyou has deep roots in the South Island and has close ties with the prefect and the officials stationed at the mines. If he can't be killed quietly, we can't act directly now...
But Grandma Liu's nephew could still move!
However, since Magistrate Deng has taken care of Fengjia Village, he cannot be made to do a difficult job, nor can Fan Zizhong be put in danger. Using someone else to do the dirty work is the simplest strategy.
She simply gave him one hundred taels of silver and told Fan Zizhong to find a suitable person in the city to teach the other party a lesson in prison...
As for how much of a lesson should be taught, and how much should be taught, that would be worth one hundred taels? Fan Zizhong doesn't need to say it explicitly, nor will he be allowed to get himself into trouble.
Even if the other party tries to blackmail him in the future, Fan Zizhong can simply say he feels indignant on behalf of Granny Liu; as for anything else...
Fan Zizhong, as the eldest son of the former Minister of War, was not lacking in cunning and ruthlessness, nor was he Ruan Meng's follower.
He was able to come along, and when Ruan Meng reminded him, she knew she was protecting him. As for anything else, Ruan Meng didn't bother to worry about it.
Fan Zizhong wasn't as useless as he seemed. Perhaps his knowledge and strategy couldn't compare to his elder brother's, but his overall strength was considerable. Thanks to the original owner's memories, the three families escaped danger on their way to exile, and Fan Zizhong's contribution was indispensable.
When the driver returned a while later and learned what the beast had done, he couldn't hide his disgust and wanted to take the girl back to Fengjia Village. He assumed it was just the villagers' concern for Granny Liu that made them worry about the beast's fate, and didn't think much of it.
"Girl, I heard that beast has suffered terribly in prison!"
"oh?"
Ruan Meng suppressed the urge to curl her lips into a smile.
"I heard that this kid is arrogant. He offended other prisoners in jail and got beaten up by a lot of them. He's also filthy and verbally abusive!"
"The magistrate and the assistant magistrate are doing well. They even found a doctor to treat them, but unfortunately, they haven't fully recovered. They've also offended someone and got beaten up. I'm afraid they're not going to recover!"
The driver said "what a pity," but somehow he sounded quite pleased!
Ruan Meng listened and felt very relieved, but she felt she could have felt even more relieved!
Remembering how he physically abused Granny Liu, forced the old woman to go into the sea to catch seafood and serve him, ultimately leading to her death...
Ruan Meng's fists hardened!
Ruan Meng had the coachman drive the carriage to the incense and candle shop, where she bought paper money and incense and gave the coachman a small tip, asking him to help hire a troupe of musicians and singers.
The driver was puzzled. Fengjia Village was dirt poor, so how could they afford to waste money like this?
But the young girl was very generous to him, so he assumed she was a relative of Xinglintang and didn't ask any further questions, so he did as she asked.
-
"Thump thump thump thump thump!"
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"
......
The driver had been driving a cart for half his life, but this was the first time he had ever felt so cool.
He drove the car in front, while a drum and gong troupe played behind him.
People from all around came out to watch, estimating the speed of the procession behind them, and the carriages were also moving very slowly.
Ruan Meng originally left the city before noon and returned to the village more than an hour later.
Hearing the noise, the villagers all gathered at the village entrance to see what was happening.
This was the first time they had ever seen such a commotion.
The Ruan family was reminded by kind villagers, so they sent their second and third sons to check.
Seeing the unfamiliar vehicle approaching, followed by a group of musicians playing instruments and singing, the villagers, who had been watching the spectacle, looked at each other in surprise as the carriage and procession drove straight towards them without turning away.
The carriage stopped in front of the crowd. Although the procession behind them stopped, the music and singing continued.
The coachman lifted the curtain, and Ruan Meng nimbly jumped down.
The second and third brothers were stunned for a moment when they saw it, then rushed over!
