However, just as Zhao Fen'er was about to shake the powder into the water tank, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm. At the same time, a cold male voice asked Zhao Fen'er, "What are you doing?"
Hearing what the other party said, Zhao Fen'er was so frightened that her hands trembled. Then she looked back and found that a man in black appeared behind her like a ghost at some point. She looked at him in panic, and then lowered her voice. He asked in a loud voice, "Who are you?"
When she asked this question, the man naturally did not answer her. He just dragged her directly into the yard.
At this time, Zhao Yanzhen, who was lying on the rocking chair, had woken up at some point. He looked at Zhao Fen'er with cold eyes.
Zhao Fen'er immediately said, "Sir, help me, there is a thief in your house."
However, Zhao Yanzhen did not move when she heard Zhao Fen'er's cry for help. After a long while, she heard Zhao Yanzhen say to her expressionlessly, "Is the thief you are talking about yourself?"
Just when Zhao Fen'er didn't know how to explain, the black-clothed secret guard just grabbed the medicine package in Zhao Fen'er's hand and said, "Sir, this woman wants to poison that water tank."
Zhao Fen'er subconsciously wanted to defend herself, so she whispered, "I didn't."
However, now that both people have stolen the goods, this explanation is obviously too pale and weak.
Zhao Fen'er looked at Zhao Yanzhen in fear and said, "Sir, that's not poison."
"If it's not poison, how about feeding it all into your mouth?" Zhao Yanzhen said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fen'er immediately shook her head in fear and said, "Master, no! I don't dare to do it anymore! Please forgive me, Master."
Zhao Yanzhen didn't know what he thought of, and he suddenly said calmly, "It's not impossible to forgive you. But you have to tell me honestly what you want to do with this poison? We have no enmity with you, and even my wife is against you." You came to save her, and this is how you treated her?"
When Zhao Yanzhen mentioned Jiang Nianjiao, Zhao Fener's face turned pale. She naturally understood that she couldn't help Jiang Nianjiao.
But if she had said what she was doing now, there would definitely be no way for her to survive.
Therefore, Zhao Fen'er only looked depressed and did not speak. However, she soon discovered that the child who was eating here just now had disappeared. She immediately said in a panic, "Where did you put my child?" Already?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen curled his lips and smiled coldly, "If you tell me what you are doing here, you will naturally see your child. On the contrary, if you don't tell the truth honestly, you will have no choice but to collect the body of the child."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Zhao Fen'er's eyes widened immediately. It was as if she was meeting a man for the first time. She obviously didn't expect that he was such a ruthless character. When she thought of her child, she immediately said, "Young Master! I Tell me everything, don’t do anything to my child! I’m begging you.”
After hearing Zhao Fen'er's words, Zhao Yanzhen nodded coldly and said, "Explain it."
Hearing this, Zhao Fen'er naturally did not dare to hide anything anymore. She only whispered, "Sir, someone wants to attack you. They are forcing me to drug you! If I don't do this, I will be the one who dies." "
Hearing this, Zhao Yanzhen just nodded coldly.
"So how many of them are there? What did they do in the past? What is your relationship with them?"
Zhao Fener did not dare to hide anything at the moment. He only whispered, "These people are just a group of bandits and robbers. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Lingwang Rebellion?"
Zhao Yanzhen nodded naturally. Although he had not participated in the quelling of the rebellion, Mrs. Chen, his grandfather, had participated in the quelling of the rebellion. In the end, it was he who took the lead and fought hard to bring down Leiyang, which fell in the mud. The city was stabilized.
However, his grandfather was obviously always worried about the quelling of the rebellion. After all, although he succeeded in quelling the rebellion, the court delayed for too long and missed the time for timely rescue. As a result, Leiyang County could not wait for the rescue. Make life and death fight. The destruction of the city was even more of a massacre.
He frowned and nodded slightly, then asked coldly, "What? Are they related to the Soul King Rebellion?"
The woman shook her head when she heard this.
"They have no direct connection with the Soul King's Rebellion. However, these people are the descendants of the remaining soldiers who fled after the Soul King's Rebellion."
"Those soldiers did not have official identities, so
To make a living by killing. Their descendants naturally did the same thing, but they were afraid of being investigated by the government, so they just committed crimes everywhere and looked for places to hide. "
"I am not the same person as them. I am a resident of Zhuerchong Lane. I used to have a husband. My husband used to be an honest carpenter. One day he received an invitation to do carpentry work, but he didn't expect it. He went and never came back."
"Because they go to far places to work as carpenters, and sometimes they often don't come back for several days after finishing work, so I didn't think it was a big deal in the first three days, but on the third day they still I didn’t come back, so I wanted to report to the official. However, I didn’t expect that when I was about to report to the official, the group of people blocked the door. Not only did they kill my husband, they wanted to attack me, and they also wanted to kill me!”
"I was too scared at the time. I didn't want to die. When I heard them saying they wanted to find a place to stay, I offered to stay here. There was no one here. And it was safe."
"They listened to what I said and seemed to think it made sense. Then I said that they could let their boss be my dead husband. As long as he didn't go out, no one would doubt him. Finally, I took advantage of the situation and begged them. Leave me alive."
"The man in charge was already moved by what I said, so he agreed to my request."
"If that's the case, why didn't you try to escape because you were also a victim? Instead, you helped the tyrants perpetrate their crimes?" Zhao Yanzhen asked coldly.
The woman said gloomily, "If I were a victim, how could they let me run around without worries? I would have been their accomplice."
"In March of that year, your house also welcomed a new couple. The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. The man said he was the violinist of Fenghua Pavilion, and the woman said she was the oiran there. The two of them grew up together over time. Because of love, the woman redeemed herself, then left the original place with the man, and chose to settle in such an alley."
"The woman is an courtesan, so she has naturally accumulated a lot of wealth, so the two of them are very generous. She is also generous to her neighbors."
"Because of this, the couple were targeted by them. They asked me to clear the way. I only knocked on their door as a neighbor. It was night. If so, they were probably They couldn't open the door. But because it was me, the couple opened the door."...
"You should also know what happened after that. I even helped dispose of the corpse." At this point, Zhao Fen'er seemed to have returned to the memory of the past, and she only shrank in fear.
"Because I helped them, I am also an accomplice and I cannot escape. They said that if I dare to report the crime, not only will they die, but because I am also with them, I will die too, and I I was scared and wanted to live, so I could only do this, and there was nothing I could do."
After saying this, Zhao Fener started crying.
Facing Zhao Fen'er's complaint, Zhao Yanzhen only retained a cold attitude.
"So is this why you attacked us this time?" Zhao Yanzhen continued to ask.
Zhao Fen'er was obviously a little embarrassed. She whispered, "I don't want to either. My original purpose was just to scare you away. I poured the chicken blood on you. I also tell your wife how scary this place is every day. My purpose is just to scare you away." You leave here, but if you don’t leave, there’s nothing I can do about it.”
After saying this, Zhao Fen'er just lowered his head and looked sleepy.
However, Zhao Yanzhen was obviously not fooled by her illusion. He just said expressionlessly, "In that case, you can cooperate with us for a while in order to survive. Don't worry, you won't die after the matter is completed." But if you continue to follow them, you will be abandoned sooner or later. I heard that they discussed when you were away that they would deal with you together after they finish our job."
Hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, the woman immediately froze on the spot.
"Did they really say that?"
"That's natural, what do you think? Are you going to cooperate with us now, or are you going to die?"
Zhao Fen'er naturally didn't need much time to make a decision before he already had his own answer.
"I don't want to die, how can I cooperate with you?" Zhao Fen'er asked in a low voice.
Zhao Yanzhen looked at the door and said, "Go back now and tell them that we have fainted. I
The courtyard door will be left open for you to lead them in. I will close the door and beat the dog when the time comes. If you don’t want anything to happen, just find a reason not to follow me in. "
After hearing Zhao Yanzhen's words, Zhao Fen'er naturally reacted.
"I understand." After saying this, Zhao Fen'er left Zhao Yanzhen's house, and before leaving, Zhao Yanzhen only returned Zhao Fen'er's child to Zhao Fen'er.
The child had apparently fallen asleep by this time.
Seeing that the child was just sleeping, the woman couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
When the woman returned to her room, the men had obviously woken up from their nap.
When the leading man saw Zhao Fen'er coming back, he asked, "How's it going over there?"
Zhao Fen'er hugged the sleeping child and whispered, "The medicine has been put in the tank, and you can do it at night."
After hearing Zhao Fen'er's answer, several men nodded.
Then they only waited until it was almost night before letting Zhao Fen'er go over to inquire about the situation in the house again.
Zhao Fen'er immediately followed their instructions and called into the room several times, "Ms. Jiang? Mr. Zhao?"
However, no matter who he called, no one answered at the moment.
Zhao Fen'er said to the men who were following, "It seems they have been drugged out."
Hearing this, the group of people signaled Zhao Fen'er to get out of the way, and then they kicked the door in. Unexpectedly, the door was not closed firmly, and it opened almost as soon as they kicked it.
