Just then, someone else came in from outside, running and whispering, "Hey, are you done yet? Stop being so easily swayed by young women, now..."
As they were talking, he stepped out of the house. "Hey! What are they playing?"
On the ground, the old pig was spread out in a starfish shape, its mouth half-open and its eyes wide open.
Before the man could even see what was happening inside, he was struck hard on the back of the head and collapsed to the ground.
Song Liyun walked over, not wanting to ask for any statements, since no one who came into the house was a good person anyway, and just knocked on each of them with a stick.
Seeing that the two were completely motionless, with blood seeping from the back of their heads, she snorted coldly.
To die unconscious is a blessing; those who are sold to the grasslands by these guys are in a much worse state—it's worse than death!
Song Liyun didn't touch the two "corpses" again, and directly closed the door and went to the second gate.
Just as I turned past the flowerbed, I saw a dark shadow moving on the veranda.
The two men were tied up and gagged, and were being carried away at breakneck speed.
Song Liyun naturally didn't know who was being carried, but based on the principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend, she was willing to lend a hand.
The two thieves were carrying the wailing man through the courtyard garden when suddenly a loud copper whistle echoed over the Anhua Courtyard of the garrison.
The sound startled the two thieves, who were caught off guard. Just as they were about to leap over the wall, several figures suddenly appeared on the top of the wall and blocked their way. One of them shouted, "You audacious thieves! How dare you break into the garrison headquarters! Seize them!"
Suddenly the lights came on, and Song Liyun, who was standing behind the pillar, realized that there were people everywhere in the garden and along the corridor.
Including the top of the pillar she was covering herself on.
The young man, who was almost one with the pillar, jumped down and gave Song Liyun, who was staring wide-eyed and biting her copper whistle, a shy smile: "Didn't...did I scare you, young lady?"
It turns out that the two censors were the bait!
From the two captured individuals and their inside accomplice, it was learned that the Qi family intended to exchange two Censors from the Censorate for Qi Heng, or that the disappearance of the two censors in Hecheng was also a shocking case.
The two censors, Zhou and Huang, were so angry that they were fuming. The Qi family was truly lawless, daring to disregard imperial authority and even targeting officials who were equivalent to imperial envoys.
At this point, they no longer feared the eldest princess and the imperial concubine, and spoke frankly about reporting the Qi family's various misdeeds in Hecheng.
However, the two of them did not mention human trafficking at this time, after all, that was a heinous crime that could shake the foundation of the country and lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family, and at this point there were only witnesses, not physical evidence.
Song Liyun was furious!
Even though Old Yu apologized repeatedly, she remained sullen.
"Old Master Yu, there's no need for further explanation. Knowing that Anhua Courtyard is in danger tonight, you deliberately withdrew the maids and sentries on night duty in my courtyard. Isn't this a case of using someone else to do your dirty work?"
If we were to forgive so easily, I would be the one lying on the ground!
Old Yu smiled wryly. He felt that when women started to scheme, it was like a battlefield simulation, and yet he couldn't say anything about it.
In the afternoon, Aunt Li, who resented Song Liyun's dislike of concubines, took advantage of Song Liyun's current role in managing the inner quarters and receiving female relatives to deliberately arrange for her to sit in the last corner, the place least frequented by the patrolling guards and the most desolate and secluded.
They also dismissed the maid who was on night duty in Song Liyun's room, so that she wouldn't be able to find anyone to go to the toilet or get a drink at night. The reason given was, "Since Miss Song is not used to being served by others, we won't arrange for a maid."
Unexpectedly, Qi Kexian was also about to make a move against Song Liyun, which provided him with an opportunity.
However, the convenience was too great, and Song Liyun was practically meat laid out on a chopping board, so Qi Kexian became wary.
He feared it was a trap deliberately set by Zhao Tinglei, so he had his informant maid confirm it several times before taking action.
As it turned out, Song Liyun was no pushover, and two more people were implicated.
“Miss Song, Aunt Li’s negligence has already been committed, and there’s no way to ask for your forgiveness. My lord only wants to compensate you!” Old Master Yu apologized sincerely.
Being dishonest won't work either; this woman in front of me can handle two thieves on her own, she's no ordinary girl.
The lord felt that he had repeatedly humiliated himself in front of Song Liyun, and was even more afraid of hearing "nothing special" again, so he sent him over to apologize early on.
Thinking of Zhao Tinglei's arrogance, Song Liyun sneered, "How much silver does your master want to buy my life this time?"
These words were abrupt, and Abu, who had already arrived, twitched his lips but remained silent.
He was also furious. If something really happened to the young mistress, Lady Uya and the young master should punish him when they returned to the tribe.
The young mistress has clearly fallen out with the eldest son.
This is a family.
One is his own brother, and the other is his beloved wife, but neither of them are easy to appease.
Abudu began to worry about what would happen to the young master in the future.
Yu Guang, being a staff member, naturally had to speak up for his master. If he were to talk about money with Song Liyun at this moment, he would ruin the job. So he quickly said, "Miss, you are joking. We are all family. It is too formal to talk about money."
Song Liyun waved her hand: "I don't think it's a big deal. Money can buy everything, the more the better!"
Yu Guang now knew Song Liyun's personality; this woman was straightforward, and beating around the bush would only make things worse.
"Hehe, my lord has prepared a coral tree that is a foot tall. Please accept it, young lady!"
"I am currently preoccupied with other matters, but when I have more free time, my lord will certainly apologize to the young lady."
This was Yu Guang's idea. Things couldn't be dealt with casually, but they could be delayed until the Third Young Master returned and gave him a headache.
Since things had come to this point, Song Liyun couldn't be ungrateful. She couldn't possibly expect Zhao Tinglei to abandon his most pressing business to apologize on behalf of his concubine.
As for Aunt Li... Song Liyun didn't even bother to see her; she and Aunt Li were not even the same kind of beings.
