Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

He asked his housekeeper to go to the county jail to bribe the guards to check what Ma Dahang's current situation was and what he had confessed.

Unfortunately, the guards said that Ma Dahong was tight-lipped and didn't reveal anything, so General Liu felt relieved temporarily.

But he still couldn't let his mind go. Only when Ma Dahang died would he keep his secret.

He secretly spent a large sum of money to bribe the guard of the county government office to poison Ma Dahong's food.

Unexpectedly, the guard said that Ma Dahong refused to eat or drink in prison and was determined to die.

General Liu cursed him inwardly for being stupid and asked the steward to remind the guards to use force.

In the end, there was no result. Just as the guard was about to do something else, Zhao Mingyuan replaced the guard.

Butler Liu had no choice but to report the situation to General Liu.

General Liu was both afraid and angry. He didn't have the ability to get his hands on anyone in the county government or the army, and his power had been hollowed out without him noticing.

Even though he enjoyed the treatment of a third-rank general, he had no real power.

General Liu was unable and dared not to take any more action, fearing that he would be caught and lose his composure. He could only secretly pray that Ma Dahong would die quickly and not give him away.

He was also aware that it was impossible to bribe Zhao Mingyuan and Zhao Wu.

The father and son would not tolerate any sand in their eyes. They were so upright that they wanted to resign from their positions. If he bribed them, it would be like handing his handle over to them and letting them do whatever they wanted!

Zhao Mingyuan: Haha, you think too much. I can take some bribes first and then slaughter you.

General Liu was worried day and night at home, feeling uneasy. He would be frightened by the slightest disturbance and would be unable to sit still. He looked tired all day long.

Mrs. Liu was confused and asked General Liu, but General Liu didn't dare to say much. He secretly asked Mrs. Liu to pack up her belongings and be ready to send her, her three sons and eldest grandson away from Yuan Dynasty at any time.

After hearing what General Liu said, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but take a deep breath and her head suddenly started buzzing.

What on earth did my husband do to make such an arrangement? He is a third-rank military general. What could have happened?

Although she didn't understand, Mrs. Liu still secretly packed up and moved the gold and silver jewelry, and also secretly instructed her three sons to be prepared to leave the Yuan Dynasty at any time.

Zhou Yuwei also noticed that General Liu was uneasy, so she tried her best to serve him, which made him happy. General Liu also loved this concubine more and more.

Zhou Yuwei was very proud of this, and her status in the Liu family became increasingly higher, and she even had the intention of challenging Mrs. Liu's status.

Mrs. Liu ignored all these things and looked at her with contempt, as if she was unwilling to compete with him. She thought he was just a plaything.

Yes, ever since Zhou Yuwei entered the mansion, Madam Liu's attitude towards her has changed, and she only treats her as an ordinary concubine.

But Zhou Yuwei still thought that she was the legitimate daughter of the subordinate who was praised by Madam Liu in the past. She acted condescending and was even more arrogant and domineering towards other concubines in the mansion.

After being scolded coldly by Mrs. Liu several times, Zhou Yuwei realized her own identity. Naturally, she felt resentful about being humiliated by Mrs. Liu.

From then on, he began to spend his days in a carefree manner with General Liu. Thinking that he had won General Liu's heart, he began to provoke Mrs. Liu.

But Mrs. Liu didn't care at all!

Zhao Mingyuan saw everything the Liu family did during this period, but he didn't say anything.

He just wanted to watch General Liu jump around like a clown.

Although there are witnesses and material evidence now, they are not sufficient. Zhao Mingyuan still needs to find other evidence of General Liu's crimes, such as treason and collaborating with the enemy.

Let General Liu stay in this state of constant fear for now.

As for Ma Dahong, it is definitely impossible to execute him first. After all, he must be kept alive to testify against General Liu in the end.

The reason why Ma Dahong cooperated with Zhao Mingyuan so well was because Zhao Mingyuan promised him that he would properly place his children.

Men's three-year prison sentence will be reduced to six months, and the child will not be left without a mother's care. In addition, fifty taels of silver will be left for his wife and children to survive, as long as Ma Dahang can testify against General Liu in due time.

Ma Dahong immediately nodded in agreement.

Although he was a ruthless murderer, he always felt very indebted to his wife and children, and this time he even implicated his wife in jail as well.

The children were still placed outside without their parents' company, and Ma Dahong was in great pain.

There is no doubt that he is guilty of the death penalty. If he can do something for his wife and children before he dies, it will be worth it.

Zhao Mingyuan gave him this opportunity, and he must seize it.
