Chapter 508: Suffering the consequences of one's actions
The officers also have to mediate and reconcile.
The local rich man pointed a knife at him and said, "I advise you not to interfere. Every grudge has its perpetrator. If these two bastards dare to deceive me, they should be prepared to accept my wrath."
The officers looked at each other and then took a few steps back.
Said he would not care about this matter anymore.
No one in the entire exile team spoke up for them.
They all look down on Jiang Xinkui and his wife.
Along the way, the two of them tried every possible way to get things from Wen Xiuyun in order to live comfortably.
This is not the first time that Wen Xiuyun has been sold.
The first time was less than ten days after they set out, when they wanted to sell her to the escorting officers in exchange for benefits.
As a result, Wen Xiuyun had already surrendered to the police, and their plan failed.
Not only did he not gain any benefits, but he was targeted for several days and suffered a lot.
Jiang Xinkui thought that Wen Xiuyun had angered the local rich man, and immediately scolded Wen Xiuyun, "You evil girl, how dare you offend the master? Why don't you come here and apologize to the master and ask for his forgiveness?"
The local rich man screamed in fear: "You are not allowed to come over here!"
He was afraid of being overwhelmed by the stench of Wen Xiuyun again, so he retreated three meters away and instructed his men: "How dare you sell a sick, smelly woman to me? You are so vicious! I will make you pay the price!"
At the command of the local rich man, his men rushed forward and beat Jiang Xinkui and his wife severely.
In a moment, both of them had bloody heads and bruised faces.
The five taels of silver were also snatched back.
"You are lucky today." The local rich man glanced at the escorting officers and led his men away.
If the officers had not been there, he would have made these two people suffer a fate worse than death today.
As soon as they left, Jiang Xinkui approached the officers and asked, "They beat people in public, and you didn't do anything about it?"
"Manage? How do you want us to manage it?"
"Report it to the police... or pay compensation or something. You can't let us suffer this loss in silence!"
"If you don't provoke them, will they beat you? Besides, you broke free from the ropes on your own during exile. Were you trying to escape?"
To flee into exile is a grave sin.
Jiang Xinkui and his wife didn't dare to admit it, so they could only hold back all their dissatisfaction and dared not say a word again.
The other exiled prisoners did not dare to raise any more objections and all returned to the barn quietly.
Wen Xiuyun smelled bad.
Although the exiled prisoners were dirty, they still didn't want to get close to her.
She had no choice but to shrink into the corner.
She looked at Jiang Xinkui and his wife with a sinister look, and the plan to "eliminate evil" had quietly taken shape in her mind.
Along the way, she had already seen through the true faces of the two and had exhausted her remaining family affection.
Since they refuse to change their ways, she will not show them mercy.
Once she reached her destination, she had the means and strength to prevent them from harassing her again.
As for the eldest brother Wen Zeduan, he'd better behave himself, otherwise she will deal with him anyway.

The local rich man took his men back to the room to get his luggage and prepare to change rooms.
The place where that stinky woman stayed was extremely smelly.
However, when he entered the room, he found that the stench had miraculously disappeared, replaced by a faint floral fragrance that made him feel peaceful, and he fell asleep in a short while.
In the middle of the night, he woke up from his dream and felt dry mouth and fever all over.
Without thinking, he went to the table.
Without pouring the tea into the cup, he picked up the teapot, bit the spout, and drank the tea in one gulp.
He swallowed all the medicine Wen Xiuyun gave him.
The drug is highly toxic, but its effects won't show up until two or three days later.
When the local rich man fell ill, how could he have thought that it was her who poisoned him?

Wen Yan has been very busy recently.
I go out early and come back late almost every day.
She is going to hold a glass exhibition at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.
In addition to going to the Ministry of Works and communicating with Huang Ying'er about the details, she also had to go to Jingzhao Prefecture and the Ministry of Rites to discuss the venue and rituals for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
At the same time, she also had to find a new shop and decorate it the way she wanted.
She was determined to use this Mid-Autumn Festival to make the glass shop a hit.
She ran around the capital for several days, even visiting the Meng family, but still couldn't find a suitable shop.
"I plan to go find Leader Yuan. With his connections, it shouldn't be a problem for him to find me a satisfactory shop." Early in the morning, the couple left the hospital together.
Wen Yantong told Ying Zhilin about her plan.
There is heavy fog this morning, with visibility less than half a meter.
The weather was very cold, and Wen Yan suddenly got goose bumps on her arms.
Ying Zhilin took out a thin cloak and put it on her, approving of her approach: "You work for the Heavenly Family, and when you encounter difficulties, it is only natural for you to seek their help.
It's a bit cold this morning, let's go eat wontons and ask the boss to add more pepper to warm us up."
"I also want to eat noodle soup." Wen Yan said.
"Then order a bowl of each and we'll eat together."
"Add two more servings of fried pork belly and two fried eggs." Wen Yan raised two fingers and waved them in front of him.
After getting busy, Wen Yan's appetite increased. She didn't have the energy to work if she didn't eat some meat every day.
The two of them walked out of the alley while talking. Just as they reached the corner, Wen Yan suddenly bumped into someone.
Wen Yan was knocked back and the person on the other side screamed "ouch".
Ying Zhilin quickly took her into his arms, and after she stood firm, she saw a woman walking out of the fog opposite.
"Where did you come from, you blind sparrow? Don't you look where you're walking? You've broken my waist!"
Six eyes met.
They all recognized each other.
The smile on Ying Zhilin's face disappeared instantly: "Aunt Jiao."
Wen Yan also shouted.
When Aunt Jiao saw that it was them, she immediately raised her chin high and looked at them with her nose turned up: "Huh, so it's you!"
Didn't Ying Zhizhi Lin claim to be a scholar and look down on her and Ying'er?
Did he get the top score in the exam?
So what.
His current official position is not even as high as Ying'er's.
When he saw Ying'er, he had to bow respectfully and call her Lord Huang.
He used to ignore her, but now he feels that she is out of his reach.
She was just about to show off to Ying Zhilin and Wen Yan.
Ying Zhilin nodded at her and said, "We'll be leaving now."
"Hey... why did you leave? I haven't finished speaking yet!" Aunt Jiao stamped her feet anxiously, but the couple quickly disappeared into the fog.
After they had breakfast, Wen Yan went to find Ji Chengyuan.
"I want a two- or three-story shop, the larger the better, preferably on these two streets."
Wen Yan took out a map and marked the desired location.
These two roads are close to the location of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, making it more convenient for her to operate.
Ji Chengyuan was not aware of the properties under his name, so he asked his housekeeper to let Wen Yan choose a suitable shop.
Before leaving, Wen Yan went to the guest house to find Qi Yunzhou again.
"Rare guest! Why is it only my sister-in-law here? Isn't Brother Ying coming with you?" Qi Yunzhou was very surprised to see Wen Yan.
Wen Yan seems enthusiastic, but he is actually very distant.
Wen Yan would not easily look for him unless it was something important.
