The question of how to take revenge is indeed worth discussing.

If this revenge is completed with the victim and the perpetrator dying together, Jiang Si thinks it is a failure, especially when the revenge is led by her and the safety of other victims cannot be endangered.

This is the bottom line.

The purpose of revenge is to make her life happier now, not to change herself beyond recognition for the sake of revenge.

"On May 19th, the Honourable Lord Zhen, who will take over as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, will stop at a post station thirty miles outside the capital. If you can meet Lord Zhen and tell him about your daughter's experience, he will make the decision for you."

The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture was two or three ranks higher than the general prefect. It sounded prestigious, but in fact it was a very popular position. Many prefects of Shuntian Prefecture could not hold the position for more than a few years, and some even failed to hold the position after only two or three months.

The governor of Shuntian Prefecture came and went like flowing water. It was not until the summer of the eighteenth year of Jingming that the Censor Zhen Shicheng came to Beijing and was transferred to be the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and only then did he secure this position.

When Zhen Shicheng was in the local area, he was a well-known honest official. When he left, the local people gave him gifts. This man was famous in the Great Zhou for being upright and incorruptible and for standing up for the people.

Yu Qi once sighed to her that Zhen Shicheng was a truly admirable person.

Such people may not be able to reverse the rise and fall of a country, but they are the backbone of the people.

The reason why Jiang Si remembered the date when Lord Zhen came to Beijing so clearly was because something big happened on that day.

Someone died suddenly in the post station where Lord Zhen was temporarily resting. That person was the brother of the new favorite concubine, Concubine Yang.

Although Emperor Jingming had complete control over the court, he had a flaw: he was easily influenced and could not stand the persuasion of his concubines in the harem.

Please note that there is a key point here. The one who can use the technique of soft grinding and hard soaking is the "pampering concubine", and the emphasis is on the word "pamper".

In other words, if a concubine whom the emperor dislikes does this, he would give her two words: hehe.

After Concubine Yang made such a fuss, the death of "Uncle Yang" became a matter of great concern in the capital.

The first case that Lord Zhen dealt with after arriving in Beijing was the sudden death of "Uncle Yang". After the truth of the case came to light, he smoothly broke up the situation and secured the position of Shuntian Prefecture Governor.

However, before the case was solved, Lord Zhen was very worried.

They were all in the post station when "Uncle Yang" died suddenly. Concubine Yang was inevitably angry with Lord Zhen for this, which brought a lot of resistance to solving the case. At the beginning, Lord Zhen was even suspected due to the slander of some people.

"Mother, remember, if you want to see Lord Zhen that day, you must wait on the road before he arrives at the post station. Otherwise, once Lord Zhen enters the post station, there will be servants guarding it, and you won't be able to see him..." The girl said in a faint voice, detailing what to do.

If Madam Xiu could have stopped Lord Zhen in advance, Lord Zhen would have avoided the sudden death of "Uncle Yang" and saved him from a lot of trouble.

"Did mother remember it?"

Madam Xiu nodded repeatedly: "I'll remember it, mother."

Jiang Si was still a little worried, and reminded her again: "Mother, please don't act rashly. Otherwise, if you die as well, there will be no one left to avenge your daughter."

"Mother understands. Don't worry, Niuniu. Mother will definitely seek justice for you."

A gust of wind blew into the main room, causing the half-tattered cloth curtain to sway back and forth, and the light in the room became dimmer.

The girl took a step back gently.

Lady Xiu was shocked: "Niuniu——"

"Mom, it's time for me to go. Please have a good sleep and remember to take care of yourself..."

"Niuniu, Niuniu, will you come back?" Lady Xiu was so anxious that she almost cried out, but she bit her lips tightly and dared not even blink, for fear that her daughter would disappear in the blink of an eye.

But the irresistible drowsiness came over her, gradually making her eyelids feel as heavy as a thousand pounds, and finally she could no longer support herself and closed her eyes.

Jiang Si quickly supported the sleeping Miss Xiu.

"Ah Man, help her in."

Ah Man was still in a daze.

"You're stupid." Jiang seemed helpless and raised his tone.

"Here!" Ah Man woke up as if from a dream, walked over dazedly, and held Lady Xiu under his armpit with one hand.

After settling Lady Xiu down, Jiang Si placed the copper hairpin he had picked up from the ground next to her pillow.

Taking a final look at the sleeping woman, Jiang Si sighed inaudibly and walked to the west room.

The man who attempted to humiliate Lady Xiu in the middle of the night was still lying on the kang in the west room.

"Girl, what should we do with this guy?" Ah Man asked in a low voice.

"Where's the kitchen knife?"

Ah Man returned to the east room and brought the kitchen knife.

Jiang Si held a kitchen knife and gestured at the man's lower body, saying coldly, "Chop it off."

"What?" Ah Man held his chin with both hands, his voice was out of tune.

The shock she received today was quite great. It was obvious to everyone that she was just a weak little maid!

Yu Jin, who was hiding in the dark and ready to rescue his sweetheart at any time, subconsciously reached down and felt a cool breeze on his crotch.

He must have heard it wrong.

"You're not going to do anything yet?"

"Girl, what do you want to chop off?"

The girl looked calm, and said in a calm tone, as if she was asking, "What are you going to eat today?" "Of course it's something he uses to harm women."

Yu Jin: “…”

He didn't understand what Asi was saying at all.

"Miss, let me do it." Seeing that his young lady was about to take action, Ah Man took the kitchen knife with trembling fingers.

Looking at the innocent man who was sleeping soundly, Ah Man actually felt a little envious and raised the kitchen knife in anger.

Yu Jin couldn't help but hold his breath.

"etc."

Ah Man breathed a sigh of relief.

"If we deal with it here, there will be bloodstains. Let's take the person away first."

Ah Man quickly put away the kitchen knife and picked up the man.

Jiang Si checked the house inside and out, making sure that there were no traces left before leaving Xiu Niangzi's house.

The whole village was still shrouded in darkness, but in the distance, tiny lights could be seen along the Jinshui River.

Jiang Si walked forward without saying a word, and Ah Man followed closely, carrying the man who looked like a dead pig.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Jiang Si finally stopped.

She stopped in front of a house. With the faint starlight, she could see that the courtyard wall of this house was higher than that of the others. The green tiles and white walls showed that it had been built only two years ago.

Jiang Si pointed at the door of the house and signaled Ah Man to put the person down.

"Take off his pants."

Ah Man blinked and saw that Jiang Si was indeed not joking. He closed his eyes and pulled down the man's pants, revealing his white buttocks.

Yu Jin, who was following behind the master and servant, looked up at the sky and breathed softly.

God knows how much self-control he had to overcome the urge to take action to stop it.

Does that silly girl know that she will get a stye if she just looks at another man’s butt?

"Give me the kitchen knife."

Ah Man was about to cry: "Miss, let me do it, don't dirty your hands."

"Give him a stab in the ass, but don't kill him."

After all, I have no experience, and chopping that thing off and causing death would be another big hassle, Fourth Miss Jiang thought with some regret.

"Let's go." Jiang Si watched Ah Man finish his work with cold eyes, then took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands.

The master and servant gradually left Wangjiazhuang behind, but Jiang Si suddenly stopped.

"How long are you going to follow me?"
