Chapter 128 Such Bitterness
In the dead silence, Wu Xun couldn't help but twist his neck again: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
He rushed out and held down the other guards' hands, saying, "Look again, look again, we should be able to find it..."
Fu Yi spoke at this time: "Okay."
Wu Xun bent his waist, not daring to straighten up, with one hand on the edge of the box, hoping to dig out the headgear of King Liang from it.
Just when it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe in the house.
"Let's go." Fu Yi stood up, "To the banquet."
It seemed to have been lightly revealed? Everything was fine? Wu Xun was stunned, but he was still worried.
His eyes turned and swept across a crushed incense pill on the table.
Then I looked at the master's hands... They were dirty. But the master... forgot to wipe them.
…
The other side.
Cheng Nianying kicked the door open. The neighbors were startled and murmured to each other. Only then did the man of the house shudder and stick his head out.
"What are you doing? I thought you were a decent girl, so I wanted to be your neighbor. But why are you so vicious?"
"You kicked the door in, you have to pay for it."
Cheng Nianying pursed her lips: "You stole my things."
This is a description, not a question.
The man immediately showed his anger: "You little girl, why are you biting me so recklessly? You lost something? That's your business, what does it have to do with us?"
"I just moved in today. Doesn't the thief need to scout the place? It'll be easy to steal and get away with it."
"So what? It's none of our business anyway." The man shook his head and instinctively reached for the door. But his hand was empty. Yes, she had kicked the door down. The man gritted his teeth.
"Compensate us first!" he shouted.
Cheng Nianying ignored him and walked straight in.
The man reached out to stop him, but Cheng Nianying bumped into the door frame with his shoulder.
"Ouch?" The man touched his shoulder, a little confused.
"What are you doing?" Inside the door, a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, as well as two young boys, all stared at Cheng Nianying at the same time.
There was no fear in their eyes, but more of scrutiny and displeasure.
This made Cheng Nianying more certain of her guess.
"I'm here to find what belongs to me."
"Where did this arrogant little hoof come from?" The woman picked up a pot from the side and said, "What are you looking for in my house?"
"I told you, you stole my things. Since you don't want to admit it, I have no choice but to look for it myself." Cheng Nianying continued walking forward.
The woman kept calling out to her husband, "Ge Lang, what are you doing? Why don't you kick her out right now?"
"I..." The man named "Ge Lang" walked in with his shoulders tilted, still confused.
How could she have such great strength when she bumped into him?
"Oh my! She's overturning our table!" The old woman slapped her thigh in anger. "Call the police! We must have her arrested!"
Hearing this, Cheng Nianying paused.
Do they really have a clear conscience?
"Are you scared?"
"Get out of our house right now."
"What bad luck! I'll have to talk to the landlord tomorrow and tell him not to let her rent here anymore..."
Cheng Nianying suddenly quickened her pace and headed straight for the big vat in the house.
Instead of opening the jar to look, she kicked it open, and there were obvious traces of turned over soil underneath.
Ge Lang's accusing voice stopped abruptly.
"She, how could she..."
How could he be so sharp? He found it as soon as he walked in?
Ge Lang gritted his teeth, snatched the pot from his wife's hand, and walked quickly towards Cheng Nianying.
Cheng Nianying turned around and kicked him.
Ge Lang screamed, covered his heart and immediately fell down.
"Ge Lang, Ge Lang, you can't be in trouble."
"Son, don't scare me."
“Daddy…”
Suddenly there was chaos behind him.
Too noisy. Cheng Nianying frowned unhappily, then took out the copper hairpin Fu Yi had given her and started digging.
The things underneath were buried hastily, and she dug them out in a few seconds, pulling out a cloth bundle.
The woman's eyelids twitched and her heart was boiling with anger, but she was afraid of getting kicked as well, so she didn't dare to stop him. She just shouted at the top of her lungs, "Help! We're being robbed!"
Cheng Nianying turned a deaf ear and pushed the bundle aside.
Inside were a few silver ingots, jade artifacts...but a single touch of gold was particularly eye-catching.
Cheng Nianying picked it up, but found only a pair of golden earrings, which were part of the headdress, and the rest were missing.
She stood up and turned slowly.
The two boys rushed towards her angrily, holding her legs on the left and right: "Dad, Mom! I caught her! I won't let her take our things."
The old woman was so happy that she didn't bother to comfort her son anymore. She kept praising her son as "good grandson" and walked towards Cheng Nianying.
After all, she is just a girl, how could she dare to attack a young child?
But she just had the idea.
Cheng Nianying kicked with her left leg and then with her right leg, and threw the two boys away.
They cried loudly in pain.
The room suddenly became noisier.
The old woman's steps were determined, and she broke out in a cold sweat. How could she dare to take another step closer? This little girl, regardless of gender, age or youth, would kick and beat anyone!
Cheng Nianying rubbed her ears at the sound of crying and then asked, holding up the golden earrings, "Where are my other things?"
"What other things? They are all ours. They were prepared for my son's wedding!" The old woman stepped back, but she refused to give in.
Cheng Nianying frowned.
If they are not here, then they must have accomplices and have divided the loot.
I just don't know if the accomplice is the broker who brought her here, or the entire brokerage firm?
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened?" Footsteps were heard outside the door.
Two officers carrying swords walked in.
Did a neighbor report it to the police? No, that's not right. Even if they did, how could they have arrived so quickly?
Cheng Nianying put the earrings into her purse and clenched her knuckles.
Ge Lang struggled to get up from the ground and complained to the officer, "She came in and beat people without any reason, and even stole things from my house. Look, she beat up those two children."
The officer glanced at Cheng Nianying without showing any surprise. He put one hand on the hilt of his knife and walked closer, saying, "Come on, follow us to the government office."
Cheng Nianying was a little unhappy.
No, I was extremely unhappy.
She felt that being a killer was not good, so she thought about giving up. She thought Chu Zhen was not good, so it didn't matter if she didn't have her parents.
She just walked here and rented a room. With her own money and identity certificate, she should live a good life.
But why can't it be passed?
"Let's go!" the officer urged.
Cheng Nianying whispered, "They stole my things first."
The officer rolled his eyes. "How can you justify beating someone by your own will? You're from out of town, right? Weiyang doesn't allow outsiders like you to run wild here!"
Ge Lang immediately raised his chin towards Cheng Nianying proudly and said, "That's right, we in Weiyang are very united. How could we let an outsider like you bully us?"
There was a layer of coldness on Cheng Nianying's face.
She tilted her head and said, "I know your county magistrate."
The officer was stunned for a moment, then asked, "So what?"
Ge Lang also shouted: "Exactly! We in Weiyang are upright and honest, and we are not afraid of powerful forces."
"Let's go, follow me back to the government office first."
"Okay." Cheng Nianying agreed softly.
The general was stunned when he heard this: "Well, let's go..."
Cheng Nianying walked out slowly.
When she reached the door, she turned around and slowly swept her indifferent eyes over the family of five.
Ge Lang couldn't help but shrink his shoulders: "What are you looking at? You're trying to scare me."
This time, Cheng Nianying put on her bag again and followed the official to the county government office.
When he stepped into the familiar door again, he did not see the county magistrate who was interrogating the case in the court.
The hall seemed empty.
The officer pinched his fingers and said with a smile, "Lock her up."
There was not even a trial.
Cheng Nianying understood: "There is no old case in Weiyang. Is this how it happened?"
"What did you say?"
She just wants to be an ordinary person.
But it turns out that being an ordinary person is also so hard.
