It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

After seeing that all the seriously ill patients were out of danger, Song Zhi asked the old doctor to help check Wang Wanzhi's sprained foot.

The old doctor felt her ankle and saw that it wasn't swollen and the bones weren't misaligned. Seeing that she could still walk with support, he said, "It's probably a sprained tendon. With some rest, it will heal. It's nothing serious."

After thanking the doctor, Song Zhi and her group retreated from the wing room.

Just as the group was about to go back to the house to rest, a police officer stopped them.

"Miss Wang, my master wants to see you!"

Wang Wanzhi paused and subconsciously asked, "I wonder why the Master wants me to come?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Wang Wanzhi realized that the county magistrate must want to ask her about what happened today.

So she said politely, "Thank you, officer. I'll go right away."

Seeing that someone was about to leave, Song Zhi said at the right time: "Sister Wang, I'll go back first."

Wang Wanzhi saw Song Zhi, who looked exhausted, and said apologetically, "I'll let Cui Liu take her back to the house to rest first!"

Song Zhi did not refuse and agreed after thanking him.

After all, she was unfamiliar with this farm and didn't know where people could live and where they couldn't. She definitely needed someone to lead her.

So the two of them split up, Song Zhi took Cui Liu back to her room to rest, while Wang Wanzhi followed the officer to the front hall to report.

When Wang Wanzhi arrived at the front hall, she heard screams and pleas for mercy from inside.

"Sir, sir, we only follow orders, we really don't know anything else!"

Zhou Yu looked at the man in black with a cold expression, his face pale and ferocious due to pain, and he was not moved at all.

The officer at the door just in time announced, "Sir, Miss Wang is here."

Zhou Yu waved his hand towards his men and said, "Take the people away first, don't let anyone die!"

Wang Wanzhi saw a man in black covered in blood being dragged out of the main room.

Even though the other party was her enemy who wanted to kill her, Ivana Wong couldn't help but turn her head away when she saw such a bloody scene.

Bai Lu, who was supporting her, couldn't help but tremble with her hands while supporting Wang Wanzhi. It was obvious that they were also frightened by the scene just now.

After the man in black was dragged away, Zhou Yu said, "Please bring him in."

Wang Wanzhi was helped into the house by her maid and was about to kneel down to greet Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu said gently: "Miss Wang has a leg injury, no need to be so polite."

"I called you here because I have something to ask you. Please tell me everything that happened today."

"How did you discover you were being targeted? How did you know they were going to persecute you? Also, what happened to the people abducted from the manor? And what about tonight's attack? I need you to tell me everything truthfully and in detail."

Wang Wanzhi then recounted in detail the series of response measures, from why she came to inspect the manor, to her discovery that the manor's steward had drugged her, and to Song Zhi's subsequent advice to her.

She lowered her head and said sincerely, "The tenants on your manor were forcibly abducted by the head of the manor and outsiders. My Wang family has failed to oversee this matter."

"Please give my Wang family another chance to redeem themselves. When I return, I will report this to my grandfather and have him re-investigate all of our family's assets."

Zhou Yu did not agree to Wang Wanzhi's request. He said with no emotion, "I remember I warned your Wang family in court that such bullying would never happen again."

"It's only been a short time since that incident! And now your Wang family's business has committed even more heinous acts than the last time they forced women into slavery!"

"Until I have thoroughly investigated whether your Wang family is involved in the kidnapping, I cannot promise you anything."

Wang Wanzhi also realized her abruptness. This farm was previously managed by her second aunt. Did she know about what was going on here?

Or was she involved in the kidnapping?

Or was it her order that I was assassinated today?

Thinking of this, Wang Wanzhi's mood couldn't help but drop. She knelt and bowed to Zhou Yu, "I was wrong just now. Your Excellency, do you have anything else to ask? If not, I will go back first."

Seeing the other person's slumped shoulders, Zhou Yu stopped asking questions and raised his hand to signal the officer to send the man out.

I don’t know why, maybe I thought of Song Zhi’s indomitable smile.

Zhou Yu kindly pointed out: "The family's rise and fall can only be sustained if it is steered by people with virtue and talent."

"Otherwise, once power falls into the hands of those who are unworthy of the position, not only will the family be destabilized, but it will also be easily manipulated and exploited by outsiders, bringing endless disasters to the family."

"I hope you can learn from these two incidents and be more careful. Perhaps you won't be as unlucky as you are today next time..."

This is said very bluntly. Such things have happened time and again in your Wang family. Ultimately, it is because the family power has fallen into the wrong hands.

At the same time, it was also a reminder to her that it was time to make a decision!

Wang Wanzhi paused at the door for more than ten breaths. After digesting the advice, she didn't turn around but said softly, "Thank you for your advice, sir. I know what to do now."

After they left, Zhou Yu immediately sent people to drag out Li Zhuangtou and his men who were stuffed into the cellar.

Then there was another round of interrogation.

It was not until the sky was spinning that Zhou Yu completed a round of interrogation.

Liangtian made another pot of strong tea for his young master and brought it to him. He saw that he was rubbing his eyebrows with his eyes closed.

He first poured Zhou Yu a new cup of tea, then reminded him, "Master, I've made the bed in the wing room. Would you like to go back and rest for a while?"

After traveling in a hurry and interrogating the suspect all night, Zhou Yu was indeed a little tired.

But there were still hundreds of women and children brought back who needed to be settled, so he had no time to rest.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and was about to speak when the officer below came to report, "Sir, look at this arrow!"

The officer presented five feathered arrows in both hands. The arrows had slender shafts and sharp arrowheads, shining coldly in the sunlight.

"This arrow was dropped in the courtyard when the men in black attacked the village last night. Because it was dark last night, we didn't notice it until just now when we were sorting out the murder weapons. The people below discovered that this arrow seemed to have come from the army."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu immediately sat up straight, took the feather arrow from his subordinate and looked at it carefully.

The arrowhead is carefully forged, extremely sharp, and has a unique mark engraved on the tip. The feathers are arranged neatly, and the whole arrow is made with exquisite craftsmanship. It is obvious that it is a military product.

Zhou Yu suddenly stood up from his chair and asked solemnly, "How many arrows like this are there?"

The officer replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, we have only found these five arrows in this courtyard."

Why did the arrows from the army end up in the hands of the people?

Zhou Yu ordered solemnly, "Send someone to search the manor and the scene of last night's fight to see if there are any more arrows like this."

The officer did not dare to delay and immediately took the order and left.
