The Ye He and Ye Hua sisters are both thirteen or fourteen years old this year. They can't think about what the future holds, but the landlord has pointed out a clear path.
When she reaches a certain age and meets someone she likes, she redeems herself and gets married.
Therefore, the master clearly told the two sisters that the young masters did not take concubines, and that they should avoid the young masters in their daily lives to avoid misunderstandings by the future young mistresses.
Aunt Ge told the two sisters more than once that they were lucky to have met a good employer, otherwise who knows what would have happened to them.
Fortunately, the two sisters were of good character and did not do anything outrageous.
Sure enough, when the second young master was being scolded by the master, Ye Hua lowered her eyes and didn't dare to look at him for long. She helped the master to the front yard.
She thought for a moment, then followed...
"Have mercy, sir! We didn't do anything!"
"Let us go, and we promise we won't say a word when we get back!"
The two unlucky guys rolling on the ground had unfortunately fallen into all the traps and hidden weapons. Their faces were so scratched that they were unrecognizable.
Jiang Yue sat in the chair, slowly took a sip of tea, then handed the teacup back to Ye He, and lazily began to speak:
"Then tell me, who sent you?"
"Yes, it's Second Madam~"
There was no need for torture; one of the younger men in black confessed.
"Second Madam, what's your name?"
Jiang Yue was stunned and didn't realize who it was for a moment.
"The aunt of the Chunyu family married the son of the second branch of the Ge family, and was known as the Second Mistress."
Perhaps hoping to redeem himself, another man in black quickly added.
However, they were just low-level henchmen, acting under orders, and unaware of the specific reasons behind it.
Qingsong quickly understood after hearing this and whispered something in his mother's ear.
That's the mastermind behind poisoning them, mother and son!
"We begged you, please have mercy on us and spare our brothers!"
"Madam, my brother and I have elderly parents and young children to support. This is our first time attempting assassination. We beg you to grant us the antidote and give us a way to live!"
Knowing they were doomed, the two men in black did not put up a stubborn resistance, but instead wisely chose to yield.
Jiang Yue's ears hurt from hearing this, so she signaled Ye He to give the two of them a quick death and knock them unconscious.
"Thump~"
As the two men in black fell, the world fell silent.
At the same time, someone knocked on the front door of the house.
"Knock knock knock—"
"Mr. Jiang, how's your family doing?"
"We've come to your aid—"
With the master's approval, Aunt Ge hurriedly went to open the door.
Suddenly, a large group of villagers, each holding a torch, stood at the entrance, their faces filled with worry...
At this moment, Aunt Ge gained a deeper understanding of the landlord's status in the hearts of the villagers!
After a flurry of instructions, the villagers bound the two disfigured men in black tightly and dragged them away!
Yes, that's right, it was dragged!
So what if it was a tragic scene? If it weren't for the unity of their village, the early establishment of a patrol and protection team, and the preparation of preventative measures, who knows whose family would have been wiped out by now!
These men in black, these bandits, they're really scum!
Before handing them over to the authorities for investigation, give them a good beating first!
They are protecting their homes and families. As long as they are not killed, they are in the right!
In an instant, the village entrance became a "battleground".
Men, women, young and old, all who were awakened came to the village entrance.
Throwing small stones or branches at them was too mild; some even used carrying poles to hit the legs and feet of the thugs—the tricky methods were endless!
The village chief saw this but didn't stop them, only instructing them not to cause any deaths, and let the villagers vent their anger as they pleased.
Almost everyone from the old house came out; after learning that the third son's wife's family was safe, they all rushed to the village entrance.
What are you here for?
Of course, it was to avenge the third son's wife!
In an instant, all eighteen men in black were covered in bruises, their faces swollen and bruised, with the worst-hit ones suffering broken legs and bleeding profusely.
Of course, they were all ordinary people; they didn't kill anyone.
Everyone in the village grows medicinal herbs, and there's plenty of medicinal powder!
spread!
Don't take the money, spare their lives, and let them suffer further torture in jail!
For decades to come, according to relatives and friends who personally experienced this operation, catching the thief was the most united Wu Village had ever been, and the most exhilarating experience of beating up the thief. Every time they recalled it, they felt their blood boil with excitement.
After daybreak, the village chief requisitioned several households' oxcarts and piled the group of men in black on top of each other, or rather, piled them on the oxcarts just like they did when the village harvested straw.
Eighteen burly men threw six cars into each vehicle, and two villagers were assigned to guard them with shovels, hammers, and other handy tools, escorting them to the county government office.
Actually, I didn't want to treat them so kindly. I was worried about encountering problems on the way. After all, these people are involved in murder, and they might have some tricks up their sleeves. Just in case, I'll have to trouble Niu'er.
The hapless men in black, after a night of brutal beatings, suffered both psychological and physical trauma...
The leader of the men in black was filled with regret; if he had known, he wouldn't have taken the job!
This wasn't a massacre of an unarmed peasant woman and her family; it was a one-sided beating—no, a brutal beating!
Qingsong had been to Jinling Prefecture and experienced the whole process, so he went along as well, so that he could tell the clerk the truth so that the government could record it.
Master Lu didn't sleep well last night, and the village arranged for two strong men to protect him, which made him feel somewhat ashamed.
He didn't help at all; instead, he caused the village to send people to protect him. He's truly a useless scholar!
Once a scholar gets stuck in a rut, he can't easily get out.
When Yao Yao went home for lunch, she casually remarked that her teacher seemed a bit off. He was usually strict yet gentle, but today in class, he appeared noticeably listless.
After hearing this, Da Xue placed a braised lion's head in her sister-in-law's bowl and told her to listen to her husband more often.
Jiang Yue frowned slightly. As a teacher, being decadent is definitely unacceptable!
In the afternoon, she came to take Yao Yao to school and also to say hello to the teacher.
"Woof woof woof~"
Xiao Bai was very unhappy that its owner tied it up, and even stopped munching on bones.
It wants to go out for a walk, it wants to go out!
As Jiang Yue sipped her duck soup, perhaps noticing Xiao Bai's dissatisfaction after spending so much time together, she said with a doting expression:
"Xiaohe, after dinner, could you untie Xiaobai's rope? Judging from its little eyes, it's probably unhappy~"
"This servant obeys."
Ye He put down her chopsticks and stood up to respond.
He then sat down and ate with his sister and Aunt Ge at the square table in the corner of the kitchen.
On the table, there was a cold dish and a soup, the same as the food on the host's table. It wasn't leftovers from the host's family's meal; it was leftovers from cooking. It smelled delicious, and they ate with great satisfaction.
"Woof woof woof~"
Little White understood its owner's words, and then wagged its tail again and started gnawing on the bone in its food bowl...
