Chapter 204: Open a new store
Seeing that they were silent, he thought they were unwilling, and immediately became even more anxious: "Meng Xiyan, you wouldn't even help with such a small favor!
I am the real daughter of the Wen family. If I say a word, the entire Wen family will ignore her.
Meng Chifei is Wen Yan's best friend, you won't let them feel bad, right? "
The young leader Yuan almost burst out laughing.
Is there anything wrong with Wen Ruyue's brain? Wen Yan has been married for a long time, and things have become so tense that she is using the Wen family to threaten Wen Yan.
This is a joke!
Anyone who knows the grudges of the Wen family would not say such stupid words.
At this time, a subordinate came to report the situation.
When talking about what he had seen, his subordinates showed an expression of pity.
This group of bandits abducted many passing women and brought them back to the village. They either distributed them to the unmarried men in the village or kept them in the basement for the men to have fun with.
In order to save food and prevent escape, the women never had a decent meal.
When he and his men found them, they were all skin and bones, covered with scars, and so weak that they couldn't even speak clearly.
As he spoke, he pointed to the open space next to him.
There, soldiers were carrying all the rescued women out on stretchers and laying them side by side on the ground.
Meng Xiyan didn't go over, but just took a look from a distance and said, "Take them back to Jinyang City and ask the doctor to treat them properly."
"Yes." The subordinate responded and placed another oil-paper bag in front of Meng Xiyan: "This big bag is full of knockout drugs. We found it in the village."
I don’t know how many people this group of bandits has harmed with this medicine.
The oil-paper package is as big as a bowl. It is so large that it can make several cows faint.
However, he weighed the paper bag, and suddenly the corners of his mouth turned up, forcing out a dry smile.
He turned around and said to Wen Ruyue, "Since you've said this, I really have no reason to refuse you."
Wen Ruyue hummed proudly when she saw that he agreed.
What about Meng Xiyan?
So what about the small war disaster in Dayong?
You still have to listen to yourself.
"You go back to the carriage and rest first. I'll go prepare some things."
Soon, Meng Xiyan returned.
He held a water bag in his hand and handed it to Wen Ruyue: "We've been on the road for a long time, drink some water and rest for a while."
Wen Ruyue had been traveling continuously and the water was not enough.
I've been feeling dry mouth for a long time.
She had no suspicion of him.
He took the water bag and was about to drink it, but suddenly stopped.
Meng Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if there was anything wrong with the water!
Before he could think about it, he saw Ruyue handing the water bag to the maid Qingzhu.
Qingzhu poured the water into the cup and handed it respectfully to Wen Ruyue.
Wen Ruyue then took the water and drank it all in one gulp.
She drank five cups in a row, but it was still not enough.
Just as I was about to continue drinking, I suddenly felt dizzy and weak.
"What's going on? I... my head feels so bad..."
Before she could finish her words, her body suddenly went limp and she fell to the ground.
Qingzhu quickly hugged her and shouted in fear: "Madam! Are you okay, Madam! You can't scare me!"
The lady is pampered by the Wen and Huo families. If something happens to her outside, she will not be able to survive.
Meng Xiyan called two of his confidants and said, "Send those women back to the capital for treatment, and take this group with you as well."
"Yes." The subordinate responded.
Immediately call someone to control Wen Ruyue's carriage.
Qingzhu didn't dare to say no and had to cooperate obediently.
soon.
Wen Ruyue's carriage was taken away from here.
At this time, someone else came to report: "Young General, we have found the place where they destroyed the bodies.
In the mountains behind, there is a natural pit with nearly two hundred bodies at the bottom.
The expressions of Meng Xiyan and Yuan Xiaotou became extremely ugly.
Meng Xiyan's team was used to forced marches.
The speed is very high, but the comfort is greatly compromised.
Wen Ruyue, who was supposed to sleep for two days and one night, was tossed and turned so much that she woke up only after one day and one night.
After she woke up, she turned over and vomited.
I felt my body swaying and the sounds of horse hooves and wheel wheels came into my ears.
The experience before she fell into a coma flashed through her mind.
She knew that she had fallen into Meng Xiyan's trap.
He was knocked unconscious and sent back to Jinyang Prefecture.
"Stop the car!" she screamed. She wanted to go back and settle the score with Meng Xiyan, and then use this as a handle to force him to agree to help her.
However, no one paid any attention to her.
Qingzhu advised: "Madam, it's useless, the carriage has already..."
“Bang!”
Wen Ruyue didn't listen to any explanation and slapped Qingzhu hard in the face. "It's all your fault, you idiot! You can't even handle such a small matter. Even if I fainted, you wouldn't throw a tantrum and force me to stay!"
Fortunately, the effect of the medicine has not yet worn off, and Wen Ruyue is not very strong.
But it also hit Qingzhu so hard that his cheeks felt burning with pain.
Qingzhu covered his face, lowered his head and said nothing.
Wen Ruyue was so disappointed with him that she pushed him away and wanted to give him orders personally.
She flung open the curtains, cursing, "You're going to die, you bunch of dogs and slaves! I told you to stop, turn around, and go back and look for it..."
Her words got stuck in her throat before she could finish shouting.
The person driving the car was not her original driver at all.
He was wearing a black robe and had a sword on his waist. He was a soldier under Meng Xiyan.
The soldier looked back at her with a bright smile: "Miss Wen, please cooperate. Otherwise..."
There was a threat hidden in the unspoken words.
Now, she can't go back at all!
Wen Ruyue fell into the carriage, it was over!
I'm afraid her grain shop will never be able to operate again.
Her eyes were full of despair.
One day later.
Wen Ruyue finally returned to Jinyang Prefecture.
They parted ways at the city gate.
Wen Ruyue went straight home.
Situ Ming received the news and waited at the door early.
Seeing her, he went to greet her: "Madam, you are finally back. You suddenly disappeared that day, and I had to look for you for a long time. I thought you were in danger..."
Situ Ming looked anxious and worried, with dark circles under his eyes.
If Wen Yan didn't know his true face, she would probably be deceived by his hypocritical appearance.
Wen Ruyue was angry but had no place to vent.
Immediately, she glanced at him sideways and said, "Come with me."
Afterwards, the two went to the academy in the main courtyard.
"I've given you so much time to negotiate, have you figured out a way to get the government to remove the seal and reopen the store?"
Situ Ming looked embarrassed: "Those troublemakers came prepared. I'm afraid I can't reopen the shop."
Wen Ruyue was about to explode.
Then Situ Ming changed the subject and said, "Otherwise, we are only selling grain. If this shop can't continue, then we can find another one."
Wen Ruyue's eyes lit up, and she felt like there was a ray of hope: "Then why don't you go find a new shop!"
"Yes." Situ Ming answered, turned around and left.
Sure enough, nothing unexpected happened.
The second shop opened two days later.
This time, Wen Ruyue did not dare to show up.
She was afraid that someone would recognize her, make a big fuss about it, and have her shop closed again.
Even the shopkeeper and the boss were impersonated by the security guards.
No one would have guessed that it was her shop.
As soon as the firecrackers were set off, a long line formed outside the shop.
Pei'er said worriedly, "Miss, if the shop opens, I'm afraid a lot of food will be lost again."
