Gentle Sleep Instructor
Chapter 1425 Tugging
It is said that the common people should not fight with the rich, and the rich should not fight with the officials. The Marquis's mansion was unique in Luo'an City. No one was greater than the Zhennan Marquis. Liu Ye, who was used to being arrogant, immediately cowered, his lips trembling, unable to utter a complete sentence.
"M...Master, I...I'll get out of here right now, is it still in time?" Liu Ye said with a mournful face, after holding it in for a long time. He really didn't know where the money came from. If he had known that the money came from such a source, he wouldn't have dared to come looking for it, it was all because of that Wu Laohan, whose mouth was still so tight even when he was about to die.
Jiang Cheng smiled coldly, and Liu Ye's heart sank to the bottom. At this time, Wu Yujiao's mother stepped forward. The old woman seemed to be used to this kind of scene, and she didn't lose her composure. She persuaded her kindly: "Young Master Jiang, how about this, please save him this time for my Yujiao's sake, and spare him when you can."
"Mother, he has ruined so many people, making them lose their families and their wives and children! We can't let him go!" Wu Yujiao remembered the pasts of those poor people, and when she saw Liu Ye's face, she couldn't help but get angry.
"Yujiao!" The woman scolded her, and Wu Yujiao shut her mouth angrily.
Jiang Cheng glanced at the old woman with some surprise. He didn't expect that although this person was blind, she could see clearly in her heart. She knew the principle of not doing things to extremes and always leaving a way out for herself.
Sure enough, after hearing the old woman's words, Liu Ye almost cried, and immediately shouted at the old woman: "Old sister, old sister, save me! I have done many wrong things in the past, and I have offended you just now. I...I, Liu Dadan, dare not do it again! You are also real people who don't show their true colors. If you had told me earlier that you had a relationship with the adults in the Marquis's mansion, I...you could beat me to death and I wouldn't dare to mess around. It's all my fault, it's all my fault for being blind. Wu Yujiao is your person, I dare not mess around again, you are generous, please spare me this time."
Liu Ye's attitude of admitting his mistake was surprisingly good, and Jiang Cheng had no intention of killing him completely. After all, he still had things that Liu Ye and his party needed to do.
Seeing that there was a way out, Jiang Cheng followed the slope and got off the donkey, "Okay, then I will spare you this time for Yujiao's sake, but I came out this time to do things for the Marquis, and I don't want to cause a stir in the city, so..." Jiang Cheng looked at the trembling Liu Ye, "You will keep your mouth shut, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, my mouth is the tightest!" Liu Ye nodded like a chicken pecking rice, with a mournful face.
Seeing that the matter was resolved peacefully, the little beggar who was brought by Fatty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that Jiang Cheng and Fatty's party actually came from the Marquis's mansion, almost causing a major incident.
Noticing the little beggar's expression, Fatty couldn't help but get angry. This person's character was really not good, and he even bullied orphans and widows for a little benefit. Fatty thought about cleaning him up properly. In a few breaths, he came up with a solution, pretending to be very angry and said to Liu Ye: "Are you sure you don't know about it? Didn't the beggar tell you?"
Liu Ye was stunned, blinking innocently, "No, he didn't say, I swear!"
"Hehe, that's strange, what you said is different from what he said." A cold light burst out in Fatty's eyes, "I say, Liu Dadan, you're not trying to fool us, are you?"
Hearing this, the beggar, who had just felt relieved, was immediately dumbfounded. The next second, he saw Liu Ye staring at him with eyes that wanted to kill him, "You damn thing, how dare you lie to me!"
If the beggar hadn't lied to him, if he had told himself the truth earlier, why would things have turned out like this?
"No...I didn't, I...I don't know, I really don't know..."
The beggar was about to cry, but in Liu Ye's eyes, these were all shameless sophistry. When this matter was over, he must clean up the beggar properly and let him know how many eyes the horse king has.
Jiang Cheng relaxed his shoulders, sat on the chair, and naturally took Wu Yujiao's hand with the other hand, and let her sit beside him. Liu Ye looked at him humbly, and his mind was already full of many things.
Looking at this situation, Wu Yujiao didn't know what good luck she had, but she was actually favored by a big figure in the Marquis's mansion. He must want to take a concubine outside the mansion, but this matter must be carried out in secret, so this big figure was unwilling to publicize it.
Liu Dadan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with relief. Fortunately, the matter did not escalate, otherwise he would have died today.
"Master, do you have any other instructions? If not, I'll get out of here first. A person like me will only dirty your eyes if I stay here." Liu Dadan had been in the game for so many years, and he was also a person who could take and let go. Facing the behemoth of the Marquis's mansion, he didn't have any disrespect.
"Wait, I have something for you to do." Jiang Cheng stopped him with a word.
Liu Dadan bent his waist even lower, "Master, just tell me."
"I need someone to send Yujiao back for me, and go with her mother to find her relatives. It's not convenient for me now, so you can do this for me." Jiang Cheng said casually.
"Understood, Master, you can leave this matter to me, and I will definitely handle it beautifully for you." Liu Dadan agreed without hesitation.
After a while, Liu Dadan approached him very carefully and said mysteriously, "Master, I will send Wu Yujiao and her mother out of the city as soon as possible. To be honest, I have also received news that something is going to happen in the city recently, and I also plan to leave the city to avoid it."
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng's heart moved slightly, but his face remained as usual, "What, you people have also received the news?"
"Of course, it is not as accurate as the master's news, but seeing that the master wants to send people out of the city, I can probably guess that it seems... it seems that the news of the Chun Shen Lake's (Spring God Lake's) anomaly is true." Liu Dadan took a deep breath and said, his family fortune was all in the city, and if he were to give it up completely, he would really be reluctant.
"What are the rumors outside? Tell me about them." Jiang Cheng looked at him with interest.
"Actually...actually, I don't know much, it was still my brother in the government who asked someone to bring me a message, saying that there have been anomalies near Chun Shen Lake recently, and those fishermen around have often disappeared for no reason during this period of time, and it is said that they were all abducted by the Water God (Shui Ye) at the bottom of the lake, but just the night before, something even more bizarre happened. Those fishermen whose family members were missing had a strange dream at the same time. In their dreams, they came to the shore of the lake in a daze, and found that their missing relatives were kneeling in the waist-deep lake with their backs to them, kowtowing to the center of the lake. The lake was filled with mist, and nothing could be seen, but as a gust of strange wind dispersed the mist, a huge pavilion appeared in the center of the lake."
