"This evening I received a mysterious letter saying that you were in danger. I don't know if it's true or not, but just in case, I immediately called them over from the government office. Luckily, we arrived in time."
Dao San still felt lingering fear when he thought about it. If he had arrived any later, perhaps Yang Cui would have...
“When we arrived, you were all unconscious, only she was awake…” Dao San said, pointing at Yang Juan.
Yang Juan was still in shock when Dao San pointed at her and she knelt before Yang Cui: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Waaah... She told me she only wanted money, that she'd give me ten taels of silver beforehand and twenty taels of gold afterward. I've never seen so much money in my life, I... I'm sorry, I didn't know they were going to treat you like that, I'm sorry, waaah..."
Yang Cui slapped her across the face: "You traitor! I don't want a sister like you anymore!"
These past few days she's been behaving herself at home, even telling herself to rest well in the afternoon. Yang Cui thought she had improved, but little did she know she was actually holding back a big surprise!
Yang Cui hates traitors the most!
Don't even think about getting the slightest benefit from me again!
At this moment, the woman that Dao San was stepping on crawled up to Yang Cui and said, "Yang Cui, I was wrong, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again. It was Qiu Mingxuan who ordered me to do it. I was forced to do it. It really was her who ordered me to do it!"
Yang Cui then realized that the woman who had crawled to her side and was begging for mercy was actually Luo Yanfen!
Yang Cui kicked her to the ground: "I let you off last time because you were pregnant, but I never expected you to be so vicious! You're asking for it!"
If it weren't for the mysterious person delivering the message to Dao San, Yang Cui couldn't imagine what would have happened to her and her family today!
Enraged, Yang Cui gave Luo Yanfen a sound beating until she was panting heavily.
Yang Cui sat down, forcing herself to calm down, and looked coldly at Luo Yanfen, asking, "You said Qiu Mingxuan instructed you, do you have any evidence?"
“It was a young woman who was with her who gave me the letter. She said she would find a way to get General Cen away, and then I would make my move. I’m telling the truth. You have to believe me, you have to believe me!”
Yang Cui believed Luo Yanfen's words to a large extent, because Cen Xiao had indeed been called away by Qiu Mingxuan, and the young girl she mentioned should be Qiu Mingxuan's maid, Qing'er. Everything matched, making it impossible not to believe.
This woman is young, but her methods are truly ruthless.
However, a few words are not enough to convict someone.
"Were these people also given to you by Qiu Mingxuan?" Yang Cui pointed to the dead thugs on the ground.
Luo Yanfen shook her head: "They are from the Mo Zhang family."
"What does this have to do with Madam Mo?"
"The person was given to me by Mo Zhangshi. She knew that I was being blackmailed by Qiu Mingxuan, so she took the initiative to give me the person, saying that it would help me succeed. You stole her business, and she was afraid that you and Mo Zijun would join forces to bring her down, so she simply lent me a hand."
Luo Yanfen will shirk responsibility if she can, but in short, she absolutely cannot be the mastermind! Even if she's finished, she will never let anyone else get away with it!
Yang Cui looked coldly at Luo Yanfen and said to Dao San, "Lock Luo Yanfen up first. After dawn, send someone to deliver a message to Cen Xiao and tell him what happened here. As for Yang Juan, after dawn, ask a few constables to take her away and deal with her according to the law."
"Sister, please forgive me, I'll never do it again, I really won't..." There were no casualties on Yang Cui's side, and Yang Juan's crime did not warrant the death penalty, but once she went to jail, she was finished, and her whole family would suffer.
Yang Juan clung to Yang Cui's leg, pleading desperately, but Yang Cui kicked her away, coldly telling her, "Get out!"
He had already done more than enough by not stabbing her.
Yang Cui went to check on the children and made sure they were alright before she felt relieved.
The bodies of these thugs were all loaded onto carriages by the constables brought by Dao San, and the large bloodstains on the ground could only be cleaned up at dawn.
It was a truly thrilling night.
Yang Cui felt she was very lucky, but who exactly delivered the message to Dao San?
*
Furong County.
How did you get those injuries on your body?
Faced with Cen Xiao's cold questioning, Qiu Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "I was injured by thugs."
Granny Tang hurriedly replied, "General, you must capture those people and avenge my young lady. It's a long way from the capital. After my young lady recovers, perhaps you could personally escort her... ah..."
Before Tang Mama could finish speaking, Cen Xiao kicked her to the ground.
"Qiu Mingxuan, you'd better watch yourself. Dao Ba, let's go home."
At this moment, Qiu Mingxuan and Granny Tang realized that Cen Xiao had seen through their fabricated illusion of being attacked by bandits, and that Qiu Mingxuan's injuries were self-inflicted.
Ignoring her injuries, Qiu Mingxuan immediately got up and hugged Cen Xiao, crying, "Brother Cen, don't go, don't go..."
With a slight effort, Cen Xiao shoved Qiu Mingxuan away: "You're courting death, I won't stop you. From now on, you don't need to send anyone to notify me whether you live or die!"
As Cen Xiao pushed her away, Qiu Mingxuan's wounds reopened, instantly staining her clothes red. Coupled with her already weak constitution and pale face, she looked pitiful.
When Tang Mama saw Qiu Mingxuan like this, she felt extremely sorry for her.
She picked up Qiu Mingxuan: "Miss, Miss, come quick, come quick to change Miss's dressing!"
Qiu Mingxuan pushed Tang Mama away and reached out to grab Cen Xiao again, but Cen Xiao dodged and looked at her with disgust.
Qiu Mingxuan cried, "Brother Cen, I was wrong. I just wanted to go back to Kyoto with you. I just wanted you to stay with me. Please don't go, please don't go."
"General, my young lady is devoted to you, as sincere as the sun and moon..." Cen Xiao kicked Granny Tang in the face, knocking out two of her teeth.
