Jiang Jiuniang nodded, as if she was thinking to herself: "That's strange, I thought you knew, otherwise why would they chase you all night long?"

When she said this, I paid special attention to the little beggar's expression, and sure enough I found that his movements were sluggish for a moment.

He was still young, so he was involved in this situation just to have a full stomach. It was too cruel to ask him to do things and even kill him.

"Madam, who are they and why do they want to kill me?"

The little beggar is very aggrieved. He is a poor child without a father and a mother. How can he still return the favor? Can you offend these powerful people?

This is what Jiang Jiuniang was waiting for, and she pretended to be lazy and said: "We don't know who the specific person is, but our people found out that the assassin who assassinated you last night finally returned to the prefect's house. Yamen."

"It's the prefect!"

The pupils in the little beggar's eyes were shaking, his little hands were clenched into fists, and he felt indescribable anger and panic in his heart.

How big an official is the prefect? ​​Why do you care about a little beggar like him?

He only got three copper coins in total.

Peng Yuan finally said: "Now that the little beggar has been rescued by us, can he go and identify him in front of the magistrate? He, the magistrate, would really disgrace his parents by doing such a thing!"

The little beggar also nodded repeatedly: "I am willing to identify those people! I have a good memory and can remember what they look like!"

Peng Yuan was even happier, Looking at Jiang Jiuniang expectantly.

Jiang Jiuniang said: "It's too late."

"Sister Jiuniang, what do you mean?"

Peng Yuan blinked, looking innocent Looking curious, Jiang Jiuniang patiently explained to her: "If the little beggar was successfully killed last night, then the others would be able to live. However, the little beggar was rescued by our people, and the couple would have to die without any evidence. This time Son, where can I go to identify him?"

When the little beggar was brought back last night, she thought of this.

The reason why I did not continue to intervene was because I felt it was unnecessary, because this matter alone could not do anything to the Cao family, and it would only add to the trouble.

Peng Yuan’s face turned pale again as she listened.

Although she knows that human life is not valuable, she cannot treat it so lightly.

"How can they be so cruel? Those are their own people!"

The little beggar was also frightened. If it weren't for the two ladies in front of him, Shan, he doesn’t even know which mountain he was thrown to to feed the wolves now..

"Madam, save this little man!"

He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Although he was alone and a little beggar with nothing, he didn't want to His death was so unclear.

At the same time, I also understand the truth in my heart: not everyone’s charity is well-intentioned, and sometimes it will cost one’s life.

"There is only one way to save you now."

Jiang Jiuniang did not answer Peng Yuan, but instead spoke to the little beggar.

When the little beggar heard that he could still be saved, he pricked up his ears and listened to what Jiang Jiuniang said.

Although he is not sure that Jiang Jiuniang is definitely good, but from another perspective, these two ladies are victims, but they are still willing to help him. Although there is the possibility of taking advantage, it is better than the prefect. People are strong, at least they won't be so heartless, and they will be silenced even if they do things for them.

So, even if he knew it was being used, he was still willing to do so!

Seeing that he was listening attentively, Jiang Jiuniang continued: "After you leave, tell people when you meet someone that someone in the prefect's house wants to kill you. If someone asks you why, just say you don't know. It’s just that yesterday, you heard someone arranged to almost bump into a lady on the street, and someone wanted to kill you that night. Those people finally returned to the government office, so you guessed that the prefect wanted to kill you. The more word spread about this matter, the more Well, it's best if everyone knows about it, so you can fight for a way out for yourself."

The little beggar was confused when he heard this. If he did this, he would die faster. ?

But Peng Yuan understood and said with a smile: "If you go out now, the people in the prefecture will definitely still want to kill you, but as long as you spread the matter and let the people know, the prefecture will Instead, people don’t dare to do anything to you anymore, because once something happens to you, the finger will be pointed at the prefect, and he doesn’t dare to touch you again.”

Jiang Jiuniang glanced at Peng Yuan, okay, not yet Silly, that's fine.

After being prompted by Peng Yuan, the little beggar finally understood. He kowtowed to Peng Yuan and Jiang Jiuniang three times and said, "I'll do it right now!"

Jiang Jiuniang said: "There is no rush at this moment, Chunhua, take him down to eat something first."

Only when you are full can you have the strength to work!

"Thank you, madam!"

The little beggar's eyes were bright. He didn't expect to be able to eat enough before leaving. He thought that he must do a good job for himself and for both of them. A noble person.

Watching the little beggar leave, Peng Yuan asked: "Sister Jiu Niang, you are planning to ruin the reputation of the prefect, so what should you do next?"

" Nothing to do.”

Jiang Jiuniang gave Peng Yuan a mysterious smile and said, "Oh, dear sister, just tell me. I'm stupid and I really can't figure it out."
< br /> Jiang Jiuniang had nothing to do with her, and said: "If you really don't plan to do anything, just let them worry and mess up, and the matter is over."

"Huh?"

Peng Yuan couldn’t believe it, this was not like her style!

"Hitting the snake seven inches away, this trivial matter can't bring down Cao Zheng completely, and there is no need to hold on to him. It's better to play a bigger game and uproot him, and he will never be able to stand up again. , this is interesting."

Jiang Jiuniang spoke lightly, but she gave people a sense of strategizing.

Peng Yuan’s thoughts of admiration rose, and her eyes became little stars.

If Cao Zheng hadn’t done something so disgusting and killed so many people for no reason, Jiang Jiuniang wouldn’t have wanted to be so cruel. After all, Cao Zheng’s family treated them well. Respectfully, as long as you can keep your face, small punishments and big warnings will be enough.

It’s just that he doesn’t take human life seriously. He has harmed so many people overnight without any sympathy. It is a disaster for such a person to serve as an official on the border.

Especially once they leave, Cao Zheng will be the local emperor here and still doesn’t know how to exploit the people. Will the economy she finally brought up be depressed again?

Jiang Jiuniang would not allow the people she had led with all her heart to fall into the hands of a hypocrite like Cao Zheng, so before she left, she must completely pull out this cancer.

"Okay, Sister Jiu Niang, I will listen to you. Then you can arrange whatever I need to do!"

Her confident look made Jiang Jiu Niang laugh. Said: "You don't have to do anything, just take good care of the child in your belly. I will tell Brother Qin about the rest when he comes back."

This matter is directed at Peng Yuan, there are It is necessary to let Qin Jian know, and the handling of Cao Zheng's affairs is also planned to be left to Qin Jian. After all, they are his wife and children, so he must have a sense of involvement.
