Mrs. Xiao was a little disappointed with Xiao Hu. In the past, she just thought that Xiao Hu was ignorant and a little willful. He liked spending money and fighting. That was all. But Xiao Hu actually did such a thing without telling them? There were already many concubines in the house.
Oh, he actually created this dungeon? It seems that Xiao Hu must have been targeted because of this incident.
She didn't even know how she got out of the dungeon. After she came out, she saw the maid anxiously waiting for her to come out. When she saw Mrs. Xiao, the maid hurriedly went up to support Mrs. Xiao and asked: "Madam, are you okay?"
"Go back and tell the servants not to clean up this yard yet." Mrs. Xiao was afraid that the servants would discover the secret inside, so she ordered the maids around her to let them all evacuate.
"Yes." The maid helped Mrs. Xiao back to the main courtyard first.
Inside the inn
After Ye Feng rescued these women, he found that there were too many people, so he hired two carriages. He and Ye Li drove the carriages themselves, letting them squeeze into the two carriages and then returned directly to the inn.
When they arrived at the inn, the shopkeeper saw that Ye Feng had brought back so many embarrassed women, so he didn't ask any more questions and let Ye Feng take them up to the second floor.
Ye Feng chose a large room and asked them all to go in and rest first.
After Feng Mingye took Murong Xi back, the smile on Murong Xi's face never stopped.
Feng Mingye knew that Murong Xi must have done something just now to make this little fox smile so treacherously.
After returning, Ye Feng asked on the first floor: "Master, madam. They are all arranged in the largest room on the second floor. I have already asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food and send it over."
Feng Mingye nodded, then accompanied Murong Xi to the second floor and went directly to the room.
The women were sitting there waiting uneasily. When they saw Feng Mingye and Murong Xi entering, their faces were filled with excitement. Some of them had already burst into tears. More than twenty people knelt on the ground and said: "
Thank you to my benefactor for saving us. If it weren’t for our benefactor, we probably wouldn’t even have a chance to survive.”
"Don't be like this. It's just a little effort to save you. No one will see you just sitting there in the fire pit. Get up quickly." Murong Xi asked them all to get up.
Lian'er walked to the front and asked with hatred in her eyes: "Benefactor, is Xiao Hu dead?"
What Lian'er wanted to ask was the thoughts of these twenty or so people, so they all looked at Murong Xi expectantly.
Murong Xi looked at these people, shook his head and said: "No, I'm just afraid that if something happens to him and we are not here, the government will collude with the Xiao family and cause trouble for your family."
Lian'er and others looked disappointed. Yes, the Xiao family colluded with the government. Even if they didn't care about the rumors and went to the government to complain, when their benefactor left, they would still be the ones to suffer.
"But, wouldn't it be an advantage to him if he died? Don't worry, he is worse off dead than he is now. How could I have an advantage on him?" Murong Xi raised his eyebrows and said.
Feng Mingye shook his head. Isn't this little fox less advantageous than Xiao Hu? After cutting off the man's hamstrings, he drugged him, and finally gave him a burly man. Think about that
Mrs. Xiao found out that her son had just been in the house with a man...
"Benefactor, what is Xiao Hu's situation now?" Lian'er's voice was full of expectation. She sincerely hoped that Xiao Hu would get the retribution he deserved.
The reason why Murong Xi did not choose to kill Xiao Hu was because this was the Kingdom of Nanzhao. If Xiao Hu was killed, firstly, it would scare off the enemy, and secondly, once they left, only these people would be unlucky.
"I have broken his hamstrings, and he will never stand up again in his life. Don't worry, he will never harm women again. And I have already cut off his hamstrings."
Your yard will be burned down." Murong Xi thought for a while and said.
"Can't we harm women anymore?" Lian'er asked in confusion.
Even Feng Mingye had some doubts in his mind. Could it be that Murong Xi was castrated by Xiao Hu and became an eunuch? That's not right. How could he still fight with the Sixth Master if he was castrated? When did Xi'er take action? Why didn't he pay attention?
?
Murong Xi smiled very treacherously, but luckily the veil on his face made it difficult to tell anything.
She said with a smile: "I gave him some medicine, and then gave the Sixth Master to him. However, after tonight, he may become a veritable eunuch."
The women blushed after hearing this, but they were relieved of their hatred. Since they couldn't kill him, they could still accept the result.
The corners of Feng Mingye's eyes twitched. It turned out that there was something wrong with the pill given to Xiao Hu. No wonder the little fox smiled so cunningly. Xiao Hu not only became a cripple, but also became a eunuch.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor." The women said in unison.
"Okay, don't be polite, what are your plans?" Murong Xi asked back to the point.
"We don't know where to go?" In their opinion, they are already in ruins, how can they have the dignity to return home?
Murong Xi knew that a woman's reputation in this era was more important than her life, but they were all forced. So Murong Xi didn't say anything and just comforted: "You will stay here tonight. I have already ordered the shopkeeper to boil water."
, you guys should take a shower and change clothes first, get some rest early, and we’ll talk about the rest tomorrow.”
"yes."
Feng Mingye took Murong Xi back to the third floor. Murong Xi said slowly: "I didn't expect that such a person would appear in Yancheng when I first arrived in Nanzhao. This person is even more hateful than that uncle. If
It’s not that I’m afraid of exposing my identity, I’ll stab him to death with one injection.”
"Don't worry, we will punish this man after we have finished his business." Feng Mingye said.
"Master, the shopkeeper has boiled water and sent it over, and the food has been prepared. He will send the food over after they take a bath." Ye Feng said at the door.
"Um."
After Feng Mingye and Murong Xi changed their clothes, they went downstairs. Murong Xi said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, we have punished Xiao Hu. I believe he will never come to trouble you again. This
Just run the inn well."
The shopkeeper thought of the many women Ye Feng had just sent back, and then asked, "Did he cause harm to those women just now?"
"Well, we originally went to his house to teach him a lesson, but unexpectedly we discovered by coincidence that he was actually imprisoning these women in the dungeon." Murong Xi said with a frown.
"Beast!" the shopkeeper said angrily.
"Shopkeeper, there is something we need to discuss with you." Murong Xi said after thinking for a while.
"Speaking."
"After tomorrow, we plan to send these women home. However, you know, we are afraid that the rumors will destroy these women. So, I am wondering if you can take them in if these women are homeless.
"Murong Xi felt that the honesty of this shopkeeper should be worthy of being entrusted to him. Moreover, among the more than 20 women, there must be some reasonable ones in the family.
The shopkeeper agreed without saying a word. He only heard him say: "These women don't need to trouble the young master and his wife to send them back. I will send them back myself. If they don't want to go back, they can stay in this inn to help.
.”
Murong Xi thought for a while, took out ten thousand taels of silver, handed it to the shopkeeper and said: "Shopkeeper, you can buy a shop next to the inn. You can open a rouge shop. If there are women who can stay,
let
It's much better for them to go to the Rouge Shop than to this inn."
"Madam, I can no longer ask for these banknotes." The shopkeeper was slightly moved, knowing that this young lady was kind-hearted and wanted to take in these women. However, he really couldn't ask for the money.
Murong Xi thought for a while, she knew that the shopkeeper was embarrassed to accept his money, but if these women were really homeless, then the shopkeeper's inn was obviously not suitable for these women to live in. So Murong Xi
He said: "Shopkeeper, I want to open this shop. I can't manage the shop on my own. I just ask the shopkeeper to look after the shop for me and then find a suitable woman to take care of the shop. Do you think this will work?"
The shopkeeper knew that he could no longer refuse at this time. The money given by his wife was considered as the principal for opening the store, so he would just take care of it for his wife.
So, he nodded and said solemnly: "Madam, please don't worry, just leave this matter to me."
"Well, I don't want to worry about these things, so I can only leave it to you. I will arrange for someone to come over in a few days. If you need anything, you can ask them to send me a message. These girls will stay here and wait for me.
After the people arrive, just ask them to send the girls home. The shopkeeper is here to find the store first. It is not appropriate for you to come forward in this matter. If someone from the Xiao family is watching, this inn may not be peaceful.
"I'm done." Murong Xi said slowly. She needed to ask Ru Shi to arrange for two people from Anxiang Pavilion to protect the shopkeeper, because she was afraid that Xiao Hu would continue to harm people even after he was disabled.
"yes."
After handling this matter, Feng Mingye took Murong Xi upstairs.
Early the next morning, Murong Xi asked Linglong to stay first and arrange the people in Anxiang Pavilion before catching up with them.
Feng Mingye and Murong Xi went downstairs. She did not go to the second floor to see the girls. After meeting Murong Xi, the shopkeeper asked, "Are the madam and the young master going to leave?"
"Well, we have important things to deal with, so we need to leave Yancheng as soon as possible. I'll leave this to you." Murong Xi said with a smile.
"Yes, please don't worry, madam." the shopkeeper said sincerely.
Murong Xi nodded, then got into the carriage with Feng Mingye and left Yancheng.
She gave Linglong a sum of money and asked her to buy some clothes for the girls first, and then give them some silver to take home.
As soon as Murong Xi left, Linglong went to a clothing store by herself, bought more than 20 pieces of clothes in one go, and took them back.
Linglong returned to the inn without resting, but went directly to the private room on the second floor.
Linglong knocked on the door and said, "Miss Lian'er, are you here? I'm Linglong. Madam asked me to buy some clothes for everyone. Is it convenient to come in now?"
Lian'er inside opened the door as soon as she heard that. Linglong knew that although they had bathed last night, they were reluctant to part with their clothes. If they didn't wear them, they would really have nothing to wear. So, after entering, she saw them
They were all still wearing those tattered clothes.
Linglong put the two large bundles on the table and said, "Come here and pick them up first. There are two more bundles downstairs."
Linglong turned around and went down to pick up the rest of the baggage. At this time, several girls inside had already changed their clothes and came out to help other women put on their clothes.
Miss Lian'er also dressed up, and then said softly: "Miss Linglong, is your benefactor on the third floor?"
"The madam and the young master have left Yancheng. Miss Lian'er, don't be afraid. The madam has arranged for someone to come over. You will stay here for two days temporarily, and then we will take you home. Please change your clothes, ladies.
Write down your address so that we can take you home according to the distance." Linglong said gently.
