Spoiled Concubine: The Warlord is not to be messed with - Chapter 358
If Feng Mo didn’t guess wrong, those innocent women must have been hidden here by the former magistrate, but he didn’t find them for the time being. Where are they now?
“Sir, we have checked all the rooms here, but we still haven’t found any secret rooms.”
The expressions on the bodyguards’ faces were very depressed. According to the truth, they shouldn’t. obviously, they searched all the rooms and checked the yamen, but they didn’t find those women.
“Well, I see.”
Feng Mo frowned, looked at the layout here, and heard that Yun Xueyao once said that the magistrate was a alchemist in the Jianghu. If so, he would hide people in a dangerous place and the safest place, or under their eyes, but now they have no evidence.
It seems that we have to start step by step, from the girl who left.
Yun Xueyao and Liu bodyguard at Cheng Yi’s house have arrived. Cheng Yi meets them and tells them with a smile to go to the porridge party this afternoon, and then send rice noodles, grain and oil to poor families.
“I’m relieved that you two follow me.” Cheng Yi takes a special look at Yun Xueyao. His eyes are full of obscene smile Rong. He wants to stick his eyes to Yun Xueyao’s whole body. He also deliberately walks to Yun Xueyao’s side and wants to touch Yun Xueyao’s hand. Liu bodyguard found it and shouted to Cheng Yi, “Cheng Dashan, when shall we start?”
His voice was full of anger, but Liu bodyguard knew not to act rashly and tried to suppress his impulse to beat Cheng Yi.
“Oh, let’s go now.”
Cheng Yi’s face showed reluctance. “Why don’t you two take a carriage with me.”
Cheng Yi didn’t take a carriage before, but now he deliberately keeps them together in order to achieve his goal, or to touch Yun Xueyao’s hand.
In Cheng Yi’s eyes, bodyguard Liu is just an ordinary thief. He rewarded him with food. It’s too late to thank himself. How can he hurt him?
“Don’t bother Cheng Dashan. We are your servants. How can we take a carriage with the master? We can just be outside.”
Originally, Liu bodyguard wanted to export to stop Cheng Yi. Yun Xueyao thought that if Liu bodyguard spoke again, Liu bodyguard might beat Cheng Yi. They didn’t have any evidence of Cheng Yi, and they couldn’t act rashly with Cheng Yi’s position in the hearts of the people.
Cheng Yi is very cunning, so Yun Xueyao quickly took Cheng Yi’s words and said.
“You two must not be so polite. Don’t treat yourself as servants. We are all a family.”
Cheng Yi said to Yun Xueyao with a smile that it doesn’t matter if Liu bodyguard doesn’t get on the carriage if he wants to persuade Yun Xueyao to get on the carriage. Only Yun Xueyao, a very good-looking young man, gets on the carriage is the most important thing.
However, Yun Xueyao insisted that the master and servant had a share and could not put them with Cheng Yi, so as not to damage Cheng Yi’s identity.
“Well, since you two insist so much, I won’t take a carriage. Let’s walk to the porridge place. It’s just right. It’s not very good to be away from here.”
There are still some pitiful things in Cheng Yi’s words, but he didn’t want others to see it. He thought he couldn’t sit in a carriage with Yun Xueyao, so he sighed, so he said, “in fact, your suggestion is good. I think we can see if the people have other demands on the one hand, and enjoy the scenery on the street on the other. It’s really killing two birds with one stone.”
As long as he can be with Yun Xueyao, Cheng Yi thinks it doesn’t matter what carriage it is.
The three walked together. Whenever Cheng Yi leaned against Yun Xueyao, Liu bodyguard came out appropriately to help Yun Xueyao stop Cheng Yi’s harassment. He scolded Cheng Yi in his heart. This old man didn’t even let go of the empress’s men’s clothes. It’s disgusting.
Finally, we arrived at the porridge giving scene. When the people saw Cheng Yi coming, they came out one after another to welcome him, “Cheng Shanren, thank you. We can rest assured that you are here today.”
“Yes, Cheng Shanren, we can have a full meal at this time.”
It turned out that there were many places in the past under the banner of porridge, but secretly amassed money. There was nothing left for the victims, and many bad things were caused. It was really a waste of people and money.
“Don’t panic. Cheng Yi thanked everyone for their love here. Cheng Yi promised that every disaster victim would have a meal and that the distribution would be fair and just.”
Cheng Yi was vaguely proud. Watching the people kneel down to him, he was like the king in these people’s hearts. Don’t mention how proud he was in his heart.
He looked at Xiang Yun Xueyao from time to time, as if he said, “look, you’re right to follow me.”.
Yun Xueyao saw that there were so many homeless refugees in Fengchao. Why didn’t he receive a report from the local authorities? These dog officials must catch them all when they find the evidence. They must not go unpunished.
Cheng Yi asked Yun Xueyao and Liu bodyguard to serve porridge in two porridge tents respectively. If an old man couldn’t move, Yun Xueyao also went to the gate of the city in person, brought the porridge to their hands, and didn’t forget to give them steamed stuffed buns before leaving.
“The imperial court knows nothing about the refugees. If I see feng Mo, I must tell him the situation here.”
When they were resting, Yun Xueyao looked at the sick and disabled people with concern. She felt that she was pressed by a heavy stone in her heart and couldn’t breathe at all.
Liu bodyguard next to him knew that the emperor was really under great pressure. He roughly calculated that there were no less than 300 refugees here, and he heard that many people had died.
“In recent years, the imperial court has fought far and wide, the Treasury is empty, and civil strife has occurred from time to time. Fortunately, it has not caused a greater crisis with the timely stop of adults.”
Liu bodyguard comforted Yun Xueyao. In fact, he knew that his words were of no use at all, but he could let Yun Xueyao think for the better for a while. It was only temporary, and the problems of the people would eventually be solved.
Cheng Yi was busy all afternoon. He didn’t see the magistrate coming. He went outside the tent and looked at the people coming and going in the street. There was still no trace of the magistrate.
Good guy, didn’t you say you want to accumulate fame for yourself?
They also planned to take advantage of the porridge party to bring the refugee daughters. Why didn’t they have any news?
“Go and see what’s going on with the magistrate. Won’t you come at this time?”
Cheng Yixin feels flustered. Although they are old guys and haven’t done this kind of thing once or twice, he feels uneasy in his heart.
The magistrate hasn’t replied to his letter for a long time. Did something happen and he left?
Or was he dragged away to drink and eat meat?
When the magistrate took office, Cheng Yi helped him a lot. He gave gifts to him, found someone to modify his materials, and made him look like a good man and diligent. Only then did he become an official of the imperial court.
Don’t underestimate this official. Here, in the secluded mountains, a small official can eat and drink for most of his life.
“Yes, sir, I’ll go now.”
I quickly put down my work and rode a fast horse to the Yamen. Who knows, when I knocked at the door, the Yamen said there was something urgent to deal with, and the magistrate didn’t see any guests.
“Brother, we are from Cheng’s house. Master Cheng is still waiting for the magistrate at the porridge scene, and the people are waiting for the adults to speak.”
Little Si said Cheng Yi’s words. He was a smart man. He knew something had happened in the yamen, so he didn’t let him in. Moreover, he looked at the Yamen who came out in front of him. He wasn’t around the magistrate at all. Maybe the magistrate was dismissed.
“Go, what Chengfu? Hurry up and don’t interfere with official business.”
The Yamen servants didn’t listen to the boy’s explanation and closed the wooden door directly. The boy here took the opportunity to peek into the crack of the door and found that he didn’t expect it. Usually, the Yamen servants at the gate sat lazily in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting. Now don’t say it’s a person. There’s even a table missing.
“OK, I’ll go now. I won’t disturb you.”
The boy rode bitterly and quickly brought the news to Cheng Yi. Seeing Cheng Yi’s face, he obviously had something to say. However, when he saw that there were Yun Xueyao and Liu bodyguard around Cheng Yi, he asked Cheng Yi to move.
“Sir, why don’t we go somewhere else to talk? There are many people here. If the news is leaked out, I’m afraid something will happen.”
The boy glanced at two outsiders specially. He didn’t believe Yun Xueyao and Liu bodyguard. One was so thin and small, and his facial features looked like a woman, while the other was a thief. Who knows if he would steal from Cheng’s family?
“It’s all right. If you have anything to say, they are not outsiders. They are all Cheng’s people like you.”
When Cheng Yi looked at the young man and his eyes fell on Yun Xueyao, his eyes immediately became wrong. The bodyguard was a little too feminine. How could he be said to be an outsider?
I intend to keep him around for a long time and take good care of him. Maybe ah, over time, he will feel about himself
When hearing Cheng Yi’s words, not only the servant was stunned, but even Yun Xueyao was a little surprised. She just whispered to Liu bodyguard that if the little boy and Cheng Yi discussed the plan with their back to them, they had to eavesdrop carefully. If it was discovered, it would be difficult to explain
Liu bodyguard meant to take this opportunity to take Cheng Yi and his family, but was rejected by Yun Xueyao. She considered many factors, not only Cheng Yi, but also the forces behind him. She wanted to follow Cheng Yi and find the biggest melon, so she had to spend some effort.
However, since Cheng Yi asked Xiaosi to tell the information to his face, it proves that Cheng Yi trusts them now and is one step closer to saving evidence for himself.
“Yes, sir, I was wrong. I went to the Yamen according to your instructions and found the gate closed. When I finally knocked on the door, I found that all the usual yamen servants were gone and a new batch of Yamen servants were replaced.” I felt that the new yamen servants were not easy to provoke. Looking at their dress and momentum, I feel that they are much stronger than those ordinary yamen soldiers, and they all look ferocious and frightening.
“Have you seen the magistrate?”
Cheng Yi frowned when he heard what the boy said. Something really happened. Who is the immortal who doesn’t come here? Why haven’t you heard of it?
Why don’t the people above say hello to themselves? What’s his identity? He dares to close the Yamen and get the magistrate somewhere. I’m afraid it’s difficult to see the magistrate now.
“Master, I don’t want to see the magistrate at all. I can’t even enter. There are yamen guards around. It’s even difficult to fly in a fly.”
Xiaosi told Cheng Yi the current situation. Cheng Yi’s face was pale and he sat on the stool for a long time without talking. At this time, Yun Xueyao looked suspiciously at bodyguard Liu. She was thinking, isn’t the Yamen in Xiaosi’s mouth even your royal guards?
But didn’t you hear Feng Mo talk about showing his identity?
Did he say he was the emperor in advance?
