The night was getting darker, but Zhang Yuhang and the others could still see countless people rushing on the road, running for nothing but their livelihood.
Although the war is gradually rising in the world today, Kyoto is the capital of the imperial court after all, and it has not been affected too much on the surface.
Coming to a messy alley, Zhang Yuhang looked at a courtyard not far away, and his heart was filled with emotion.
"Master, isn't this Xiaoru's home? Why are we here? Could it be that the person we want to see tonight is Xiaoru?"
Xiao Ma asked in confusion.
Xiaoru, whose full name is Wang Ru, is Zhang Yuhang's personal maid. She has basically taken care of Zhang Yuhang's life in the Xingyong Marquis in the past few years, and she is highly regarded by Zhang Yuhang.
Recently, because her mother was ill at home, she wanted to take some time off to go home and take care of her. Originally, she had already sold herself into the Marquis's residence, so it was impossible for her to be allowed to do such a thing.
But Zhang Yuhang couldn't bear to be so ruthless, so he went to ask the old lady for mercy. When he heard that it was Xiaoru, the old lady didn't refuse and agreed directly.
"Yes, that's why I said you know him!" Although Zhang Yuhang replied at this moment, his tone was extremely cold.
When Xiao Ma heard her young master's unkind tone, she thought that it was Xiaoru who had been serving the young master all these years, but she was Liu Shirui's personal maid before. So, Xiaoru really didn't know anything about Liu Shirui?
Why did the young master arrange for a personal maid who had grown up with the young lady to serve him as soon as he entered the house? Is this trust or surveillance?
Why Liu Shirui had been secretly spending time with that scholar in Chencang all these years without being discovered? The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but feel countless hatred rising in her heart.
fraud.
They're all fucking liars.
Ignoring Xiao Ma's thoughts, Zhang Yuanhang walked to the door of Wang Ru's house and walked in without closing the door.
Wang Ru, who was still washing clothes in the yard, was shocked when she saw her young master actually coming to her home, but she suppressed her inner uneasiness and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Uncle, why are you here?"
Zhang Yuhang said: "I just have time today, and I thought I haven't seen you for a while. I wonder how your mother is doing. Is she feeling better?"
Wang Rudao: "Thank you for your concern, uncle. My mother is fine. She just needs to rest for a while."
While they were talking, a fourteen-year-old young man not far away saw a stranger coming to him. He was worried that his sister would suffer, so he hurriedly joined in.
After glancing at Zhang Yuhang and others, he walked to his sister and asked in a low voice: "Sister, who is this?"
Wang Ru heard this and quickly grabbed her brother and said to Zhang Yuhang: "Uncle, this is my brother, Wang Ming." Then she said to her brother: "This is the uncle of Xingyong Hou Mansion, why don't you hurry up and call someone."
When Wang Ming heard that it was actually the uncle of the Hou Mansion, he hurriedly said: "Wang Ming, I want to pay my respects to my uncle."
Again, no matter how unpleasant the idea of a son-in-law is, it is still among the nobles. What's more, Zhang Yuhang, the uncle, is still a little different from others. His status in the Hou Mansion is still very high.
Zhang Yuhang looked at Wang Ming and smiled and said: "You are already so strong. It looks like you will be a strong young man in the future." After speaking, he said to Xiao Ma: "You give him twenty taels of silver and buy some nutrition for your mother." Take good care of your body.”
Xiao Ma was not angry, but he would not refuse his young master's order. He took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Wang Ming.
It's just that these siblings looked at the money with disbelief on their faces. You must know that when Wang Ru sold herself to the Hou Mansion, it was only five taels of silver, and now it was twenty taels of silver. She had never seen it in her life. So much money.
Seeing his brother's dazed look, he quickly pushed and pocketed the silver.
"That's it. I originally promised you a period of time to take care of your mother at home, but now that the Hou Mansion's industry has begun to adjust, you also need to return to the Hou Mansion in time to serve and say goodbye to your mother. You probably won't be able to come back for a while this time. coming,"
Seeing Wang Ru receiving the money without saying a word, Zhang Yuhang did not say anything else and directly gave the order.
"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll go right away." Wang Ru immediately walked in with her younger brother after hearing this.
Within a moment, Wang Ru was seen walking out again, standing next to Zhang Yuhang and saying, "Uncle, I have already agreed, you can go back now."
Zhang Yuhang nodded, "That's good. Before you go back tonight, go to another place with me to buy something for the lady. You were her personal maid before, so you will know her preferences better."
Wang Ru nodded and didn't say anything, just quietly following Zhang Yuhang and the others.
After more than half an hour's journey, Zhang Yuhang and others finally arrived at the small courtyard. This is Zhang Yuhang's own private property, and it is protected by Yi Tian and others. It is the safest place at present.
Seeing this unfamiliar yard, Wang Ru became more and more uneasy. It didn't look like a place to sell things, and even Xiao Ma, the most active person, didn't say a word during the journey today. She became more and more worried. Bad feeling.
"Uncle, what is this place? Do we want to go shopping here?"
At the last moment when she entered the small courtyard, Wang Ru couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Zhang Yuhang nodded, "This is a very safe place, come in and talk."
While talking, Zhang Yuhang had already walked in first. Wang Ru turned around and saw Bai Zhan walking at the end holding a knife, and she also walked in cruelly.
In the small courtyard, in a utility room.
"Snapped."
After sending Bai Zhan out to guard the door, Zhang Yuhang could no longer hold back the anger in his heart while he and Wang Ru were here.
After the beating, he rushed forward and pinched Wang Ru's neck tightly. No matter how hard Wang Ru struggled, it was in vain.
Wang Ru was terrified at the moment. She never thought that Zhang Yuhang, who had always been honest and even pedantic in her eyes, suddenly became so crazy.
She wanted to break free, but she couldn't get rid of the hands that were tightly gripping her.
Zhang Yuhang saw her in pain and couldn't even speak. He threw her to the ground, picked up the chair on the ground and threw it directly.
"ah."
Wang Ru, who had just landed, hadn't breathed a sigh of relief when she felt a burst of bone-chilling pain and couldn't help but cry out.
"Why, why, why did you do this?"
After a moment, Wang Ru calmed down and asked in a very angry tone.
"Why?" Zhang Yuhang leaned down and grabbed Wang Ru's hair tightly, saying coldly: "Why do you think so?
You have played tricks on me for so many years. Not only have you put a cuckold on my head, but even my daughter is not my biological child. In the past few years, you have messed around under my nose countless times, overtly and covertly.
I spent all my time and energy for his palace, but what did they do to me? "
Zhang Yuhang angrily vented the long-repressed anger in his heart, and beat Wang Ru's head with both hands, causing blood to flow, almost going crazy.
Then he raised his finger and looked at Wang Ru: "And you, how do I usually treat you, and how do you repay me?".
Wang Ru was so beaten that she didn't dare to say another word. She just kept exhaling loudly from the corner of her mouth. The severe pain made her break into a cold sweat.
Seeing that she was silent and thinking about all the things in his previous life, Zhang Yuhang's anger welled up in his heart again. He walked over and stepped on Wang Ru's stomach hard with his foot.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out again, and Wang Ru felt like her whole body was failing. It was in too much pain.
At the moment, he didn't have the slightest intention of quibbling, and he begged for mercy in tears: "Uncle, please spare me. I am willing to tell you all this, and I can tell you where the man is. I just ask for your mercy." Got me."
Zhang Yuhang smiled evilly, it turns out you are afraid too, I thought you were so loyal to that bitch.
Without saying a word, he suddenly sat on Wang Ru and strangled her neck with both hands. This time, there was no mercy at all, and he watched helplessly as she took her last breath.
Just before he died, he said: "Don't worry, you are not the first to go to hell. Soon, I will ask everyone in the entire Hou Mansion to go down to accompany you."
As for everything about the scholar, he no longer needs to do any investigation. After tonight, he will arrange for someone to completely take everything about Zhou Wenbin's family into his own hands.
This dirty road of revenge has just begun.
