In the middle of the night, Jiang Jiuniang didn't want to deal with these troublesome things, so she said: "Find a place to lock the person up first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. You're still pregnant with the child, so don't stay up late."

Anyway, now There's no point in asking. It's also delaying my sleep, which is useless.

What Peng Yuan heard made sense. She was quite nervous when she saw Chunhua and Chuncao bringing back a little beggar. Now that Jiang Jiuniang was helping her make the decision, she felt much more relaxed.

"You can sleep peacefully. This courtyard is heavily guarded and very safe, and I'm right next door. I'll know if anything happens, so don't worry."

It's all As a woman, Jiang Jiuniang understood Peng Yuan's nervousness very well and patiently tried to comfort her.

"Yeah, thank you, Sister Jiu."

The two of them went back to sleep, but there was someone in the prefect's office who couldn't sleep.

Two killers were sent out, but only one came back, and the one who came back was seriously injured. He basically ran away in a hurry and had no ability to deal with the body of his companion. After he came back to report, he found someone else. When he went to deal with it, he found that his companion's body had disappeared.

Seriously injured, he knelt on the ground and was kicked hard by Cao Shulan, who was in a bad mood.

“Trash!”

“You can fail to deal with a little beggar, why should I support you!”

Cao Shulan has a little temper. This name has nothing to do with it, and there is no sympathy at all. After being kicked, the killer spit out a mouthful of blood and passed out completely.

She then cursed and asked someone to carry the person down to deal with it.

According to what the killer said, the damn little beggar was actually saved. The other party was so powerful in martial arts that they were no match at all. If the other party hadn’t intentionally kept him back to reply, he probably wouldn’t have spared his life. .

It didn’t take much thinking to know that it must be Jiang Jiuniang’s person, and she was indeed aware of it.

Now that the little beggar is in their hands, what should she do if they use this as an excuse to confront her?

Jiang Jiuniang is more capable and more powerful than her. If she really wants to make herself pay the price, what will she do?

Can her father, a small prefect, be able to protect her?

Furthermore, can she still successfully marry Qin Jian?

In just a few short breaths, Cao Shulan thought about countless possibilities in her mind, and all of them made her look pale.

She was scared and finally went to find her mother in the middle of the night.

Coincidentally, her father also spent the night at her mother's place tonight, and her affairs were directly known to her father.Got it.

Cao Zheng and his wife had fallen asleep, but after hearing about their daughter, they had no choice but to get up.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, he just puts on a wide open shirt and goes out.

"You are so confused! How can others not find out about you when you are so full of flaws?"

Cao Zheng looked at his daughter, feeling quite resentful. Meaning of steel.

He had heard from his wife before that his daughter was attracted to Qin Jian and wanted to do something to fight for it. He felt that his daughter was so outstanding and Qin Jian's future was bright, so he acquiesced.

As the prefect of Huizhou City, he has no rights at all. He is forced to do this and that by those high-ranking officials without getting any benefits. He also occupies his own courtyard. There was already dissatisfaction in my heart.

It’s okay to let your daughter teach them some lessons.

I didn’t expect that my daughter could handle things like this. Seeing that he was about to be investigated, could he not panic?

Not to mention that Prince Jing is the highest-ranking person stationed here, even Lu Baichuan and Qin Jian are not someone he can afford to offend. Some things are done secretly, but if they let go If it comes to light, the matter will be big.

"Daddy, what should we do now?"

Cao Shulan was so scared that she stamped her feet. She knew that she had done this carelessly, and now she could only rely on Dad cleaned up the mess.

Cao Zheng thought for a while and asked: "Where are the people who have come into contact with this matter?"

"They are all in my daughter's yard."

She was still cautious and asked them to stay in their own yard during this period and not to interact with other people in the mansion.

Cao Zheng nodded with satisfaction, a hint of cruelty flashed across his face: "Let's deal with them all to avoid future troubles."

As long as there are no more such people in the world, that is There is no proof, even if the little beggar says something, it can't be linked to them.

After thinking about this, Cao Shulan was instantly happy and said with a smile: "Dad is really smart, my daughter will do it now."

"Well, do it cleanly, don't do it If you make any noise, don’t let too many people know about it.”

“Yes.”

Cao Shulan went back happily. Near dawn, the prefect’s office Several corpses were transported out of the back door and headed deep into the mountains.

The spring flowers and grass have all gone back, so naturally I didn’t see this scene, but it’s not very important.

The next day, Jiang Jiu Niang slept until she woke up naturally, washed herself and went to eat with Peng Yuan.stuff, and then had the little beggar brought for interrogation.

The little beggar was brought back after being knocked unconscious by Chunhua. He woke up in the middle of the night and was worried and scared all night. No one gave him anything to eat. Now he came in and saw the two beautiful ladies from yesterday. , they were eating delicious breakfast food, which made him swallow his saliva.

But he also remembered that someone wanted his life last night, and the fear in his heart defeated his hunger, and he knelt on the ground and shivered.

"Madam, please forgive me, the little one doesn't know anything!"

He was kneeling on the ground in a small ball. He looked quite pitiful, but he was If you want to harm Peng Yuan through bribery, you can't forgive him easily.

Poor people must be hateful. Jiang Jiuniang and Peng Yuan ignored him and continued to eat.

Peng Yuan didn’t know what Jiang Jiuniang’s plan was, and was afraid that she would say the wrong thing, so she simply waited for her to speak.

After Jiang Jiuniang had eaten and drank enough, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and acted like a superior, and then she said: "Last night, it was our people who rescued you. Are you clear?"

When the little beggar saw Jiang Jiuniang finally paying attention to him, he nodded excitedly.

"Then do you know who wants to kill you?"

Jiang Jiuniang asked next, and the other party shook his head in confusion.

　“You really don’t know?”

　“I really don’t know anything, madam! Those people came to me yesterday and asked me to accompany them in a play, pretending Zuo accidentally knocked the... lady to the ground and gave me a few copper coins to buy steamed buns to eat. I... I hadn't eaten for several days, so I agreed..."

He really only knew so much. He didn't even know who he had offended and wanted to kill him.

It won’t be the two people in front of me, because they saved my life.

Jiang Jiuniang sneered and asked: "Do you know that the lady you are going to hit is pregnant. If she is knocked to the ground by you, at least she will not be able to save the child in her belly, and at worst, she will not be able to save her baby. One corpse and two lives?"

Upon hearing this, Peng Yuan touched her abdomen with fear.

The little beggar’s eyes widened, and then he shook his head vigorously: “I don’t know, I really don’t know, I did it unintentionally, please forgive me, madam!”
< br />The shock and fear in his eyes didn't seem to be fake. After all, Jiang Jiuniang had learned his acting skills yesterday, and they were very average.
