I’m the Legitimate Wife - C240 Observing with a cold eye to solve a doubt (1)

Fu Heng kissed her forehead, and cold sweat flowed down his back when he touched it. Only then did he know that she wasn’t as strong and brave as he looked on the surface.

However, he was afraid that she would feel cold from the shock, so he didn’t want to let go of his hands and feet and advised, “I’ll pour you a cup of hot tea, so you can go behind the screen and change your clothes.”

Only then did Xu Mingwei realize that she was covered in cold sweat, she knew that Dong Zi and Duan Yunping were going to come over soon, so she quickly changed into the inner clothes, and only stopped when there was a light knock on the door.

Fu Heng saw her coming out from behind the screen, dressed neatly, with a heavy expression on his face as he went forward to answer the door.

Duan Yunping and Dong Zi were shocked by Wan Rong’s expression, they had been suspicious of what was happening inside Fu Heng’s house, but they were afraid of making others hear it, so they kept it in their hearts to not ask. Seeing that he and Xu Mingwei were both alright, her expression became less heavy.

Seeing that Wan Rong had closed the door tightly, Duan Yunping asked softly, “From the looks of it, Sister-in-law shouldn’t be feeling hot, right? But what’s the matter?”

Fu Heng looked at Dong Zi, and instructed, “You and your Sister Wan Rong are waiting outside, guard the door well, and no one is allowed to open it.”

Dong Zi hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, then Fu Heng led Duan Yunping into the house and explained the situation.

Duan Yunping roamed around a bit more than him, after looking at the thieves for a while, he said solemnly, “I’m afraid they are not good people, and look even more like green forest bandits, but I do not know that Pinglu County has thieves too.”

Xu Mingwei then explained the suspicions she had in her heart, “When our group entered the city, he already knew which house the main house was in, and even knew which house the two of you were staying in to drink wine.

“We’ll only know when we wake up.”

With that, Fu Heng poured the teapot onto the man’s face.

At this time, Xu Mingwei had already hid behind the screen, and not long later, she heard some sound coming from ahead, the thief had finally woken up.

Previously, Xu Mingwei had used a piece of cloth to gag him for fear that he would make a ruckus. When Hou Zhanshan saw that his hands and feet were bound, he could not say a word, but he knew that he had been tricked, and did not struggle at all. He only glared at Fu Heng and Duan Yunping.

In his heart, Fu Heng was angry at him for being shameless and vulgar, but after thinking about how he still hadn’t taken out the inside information from his mouth, she only endured it and placed the dagger around his neck, threatening him with a low voice, “Now that you have fallen into my hands, what fate you have, it only depends on how you respond. If there is one untrue word, then let’s see where my knife goes! ”

Hou Zhanshan looked at him with disdain, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he turned his head and ignored him.

Duan Yunping was feeling troubled in his heart, if such a person were to be trapped somewhere else, they would still have some methods to deal with it. In such an inn, he was afraid of making a ruckus, causing others to question him, when suddenly, he heard Xu Mingwei from behind the screen saying, “Since you are unwilling to speak, then don’t speak. Master, this person has a lustful and evil heart, it’s not good to teach him how to die too easily. With the two thick quilts under him, his hands and feet were tightly bound, and his mouth and nose were blocked so that he could not make a sound. Then he slowly cut off the root of the disaster, and shed some blood. When the sun rises, bring the mat outside the city with you and send it to the city without anyone finding out. To teach him how to go to the underworld and put his name behind him, and how to be a beast that cannot be harmed in his next life. ”

Hou Zhanshan panicked when he heard his. What a heartless woman! His mouth was still stuffed with dirty words that could not be uttered. His hands and feet were tied, and he could not deal with that wicked woman. He was so angry that he nearly fainted.

Duan Yunping and Fu Heng were both startled, but hearing Xu Mingwei’s tone, killing one of them was as normal as killing a chicken in the kitchen. It was unknown if she truly wanted to, or if she deliberately used a method to force a confession. But regardless of the reason, the thief who had previously gritted his teeth and refused to reveal anything now made her so excited that her eyes turned red. She bent her body like a shrimp and was about to crawl towards the other side of the screen.

Fu Heng laughed coldly, “This is a good idea. “Peaches, open the chest and bring two thick blankets!”

How could Hou Zhanshan endure it? He continuously shook his head at Fu Heng as he sobbed and begged for mercy. How could he endure the tenacity anymore?

Duan Yunping then turned pale, and stopped Fu Heng from speaking: “I think he is actually willing to speak, Yan Zhen, I just want to hear what he has to say. It’s not good, it’s not good at all. Let’s go with sister-in-law’s plan. ”

Fu Heng hesitated for a moment, then Duan Yunping took the dagger from his hand, squatted in front of Hou Zhanshan and warned, “You heard everything, so far as you can see, and asked you a question, you should answer it carefully, if not, the blade in my hand, will not go anywhere else, but to cut towards your thing, do you understand? “If you say so, then nod your head. I will take the cloth strip from your mouth, and if you make even the slightest sound, I will also make a cut at that thing!”

Hou Zhanshan nodded his head and slowed down. Then, he turned to the peaches and said, “First, take out two blankets and then ask for a pot of boiling water!”

She quickly found a blanket and casually threw Hou Zhanshan on top of it. Her heart was filled with anger and her hands’ movements were naturally not light, causing Hou Zhanshan to feel dizzy from the fall.

The latter was speechless, not knowing that there was such a person in the room. Fortunately, he was lucky. He knocked her out the moment he entered the room. However, he didn’t finish his lucky day. He actually taught the woman hiding behind the screen to plot against him. Hou Zhanshan sighed in his heart. He had been in the underworld for so many years, and he had seen many ruthless people who killed people without batting an eye. But he had never seen anything like it before.

He didn’t know what the two men in front of him were planning, but the one who was speaking behind the screen was speaking the truth. At the very least, she had guessed it before. Hou Zhanshan could not help but shiver, when Duan Yunping went to the strip of cloth in front of his mouth, he subconsciously gulped down a mouthful of saliva and said honestly, “If a officer has anything to ask, just ask.”

Fu Heng said coldly, “Let’s start with your name, where do you come from, and how you chased me to this inn. If there is any concealment of truth, you know how it is. ”

Hou Zhanshan swallowed another mouthful of saliva, calmed himself down, and finally began to explain in detail.

As it turned out, Hou Zhanshan was not someone from Pinglu County City, and was born in Huai An. His age was not good, but his family had fled until now, and he did not have any land to live on. After all, he had roamed for a few years and after his parents died, he landed on a mountain twenty miles away from the city as a thief. As there were a lot of thieves on the mountain and they had some agility skills, the original Pinglu County County Commandant had barely been able to kill a few. In the end, they were lacking soldiers, and after a few tries, they would all stop. Gradually, the mountain started to fall down. It was peaceful and happy, like robbing the world. If there was even one good thing about it, people would only take money and not kill them. As a result, no one cared about it.

When the Fu Family’s convoy passed by the foot of the Qingfeng Stronghold, they had already reported the news to their pursuers. However, when they saw that it was escorted by a familiar escort team, they had already arranged for the purchase of money. Recently, Hou Zhanshan had been gambling with himself and was worried that he would not have a place to get more money.

He said that he was heading to the city to get to know the other party. However, when he informed the leader that he was coming down the mountain, he secretly followed the Fu Family’s convoy all the way to Pinglu County City. Seeing that they had invested only half a silver into the Hongfu Inn and bribed a Tea Doctor to inquire about it, they asked for the information of the passersby. Hearing that it was a rich person from the capital, Hou Zhanshan was even more elated.

According to his usual habit, he should have stepped on it for another two days, waiting for the right time to use the medicine. Coincidentally, on this day, Fu Heng was also lucky. They had been drinking together at the front of the group, yet never going to the back of the house. Hou Zhanshan’s mind heated up, but after thinking that saving money for two days was also good, he mustered his courage and turned around.

After that, everyone in the room knew what happened. After Hou Zhanshan finished explaining, he lowered his head and waited.

Duan Yunping asked him, “Who is the Tea Doctor that spread your news?”

Hou Zhanshan said, “The most talkative one is the one with the fastest mouth, everyone calls him the Glimpse Wang, once the officials go forward and ask, they will know.”

Duan Yunping looked at Fu Heng, who nodded and asked, “Tell me about the mountain. I have only heard about the tribulation at home and have never seen it myself.”

Hou Zhanshan looked at him warily, “Why do you ask? “What’s there to say about such a simple day.”

Duan Yunping said, “According to what you said, there are a lot of people on the mountain, but from what I see, there are not many people walking on the mountain path. “You don’t have a business somewhere else, do you?”

This matter was related to the stronghold, but Hou Zhanshan refused to speak no matter how he asked. Duan Yunping shook his head at Fu Heng, and went behind Hou Zhanshan without him knowing, and knocked him out.

Xu Mingwei listened but did not say anything, and was confused. Fu Heng suddenly went around to the back and pulled her hand, saying, “You should find something that you don’t need, give me a box.”

Xu Mingwei guessed a few uses and nodded her head.
