Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

After saying these words, Xiu'er turned around and went back to her room.

Only after she sat down did she realize her heart was pounding.

She was so bold today because Miss Fang arranged for her to do so.

Miss Fang asked her to lure out the place where Sister Hua hid the indentures, and then she would find a way to steal all the indentures.

She thought it would take a lot of effort, but she didn't expect that it would be done in just a matter of turning around.

Seeing how Mrs. Hua was so furious that she wanted to kill her but didn't dare to do it, she almost laughed out loud. It turned out that it felt so good to let out the anger in her heart.

Sister Hua crawled back to her room in a panic. She had been upset today, so how could she just swallow her anger? She was secretly making up her mind about how to beat Xiu'er to death when her husband came home that night, when she saw someone push open the bedroom door and walk in from the hall.

The man was facing the backlight and his appearance could not be seen clearly.

Sister Hua stood up alertly, glaring and cursing, "Who are you? Who let you in? Are you looking for death?"

Shen Li looked at her coldly, ignored her, and looked around on his own.

As she walked into the light, Mrs. Hua was stunned.

Isn’t this the girl who is staying here to wait for her master?

"What a nice house! When my mother and I lived here, it was so warm and clean. Now that a wretch like you is living here, it's not only smelly, but also so tacky it makes me sick."

Mrs. Hua frowned, not understanding what she was talking about.

"It's okay if you don't understand," Shen Li sat down on the chair with the air of a master, "To tell you the truth, I am Brother Dayong's master, and this farm is my family's property."

Mrs. Hua was so frightened that her face turned pale.

What's going on? What's going on today?

How did she become the owner of this manor again?

Shen Li thought of her arrogance in front of Xiu'er and the others, and then looked at her cowardly appearance, and couldn't help but laugh, "You are such a thing, but you can actually harm Brother Dayong like this. It's only because Brother Dayong and Xiu'er are too kind that they didn't guard against your tricks."

"I don't have time to waste on you. I only have one question for you. If you answer honestly, I'll spare your life. If you don't, today will be the day you die."

For some reason, the moment she sat there, Hua Sao felt timid from the bottom of her heart. She had already forgotten how she got in, and asked with trembling lips, "What...what's going on?"

"Who ordered you to kill Brother Dayong?"

Sister Hua felt a cool breeze on her back and looked up at Shen Li. She felt lucky and rolled her eyes as she said, "No, no one hurt Dayong. It was he who bought the wrong person and caused the trouble. He could have…"

Click.

Shen Li got up from his seat without saying a word. He stretched out his hand and pushed back Hua Sao's right index finger, breaking it.

"what!"

The intense pain made Hua Sao scream, but Shen Li slashed her throat with a palm, and she could no longer scream.

"I told you to answer honestly, or I'll make you look bad. What? Do you think I'm kidding you?"

Mrs. Hua's face turned pale with pain and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"I'll ask you again, who ordered you to harm Brother Dayong?"

Sister Hua shook her head in horror, the pain from the broken finger making her lips tremble. She had been sitting there just now, but now she had fallen to the ground, shaking all over.

"Forget it if you don't want to say it." Obviously, Shen Li didn't have to get any answers from her. Seeing that she was stubborn, he didn't have the patience to look at her face, so he stood up and said lightly, "Do it."

The two well-dressed men immediately landed on the ground, bowed, and said, "Yes."

Mrs. Hua stood up and ran outside. After taking two steps, she was hit in the leg by a dart and fell heavily to the ground.

Then, a man stepped forward and stomped on it, and the sound of bones breaking reached my ears...

"I said, please forgive me, I, I said, I said..."

Unfortunately, she no longer has the chance.

Blood came out of her mouth, her ribs were broken and her internal organs were pierced. Before she could regret it, blood rushed up her throat and sprayed all over the floor.

In a short while, the person was dead.

"Put him on the bed," Shen Li said as she walked out, "Wait for that Brother Du to come back and see him. After all, they are husband and wife, so he should see him off."

After saying that, Shen Li left the bedroom and slipped into the space while the two were not paying attention.

Xiao Chenze was sitting inside, looking at her leisurely, "Shen Li, tell me the truth, have you ever killed anyone before? I don't see you looking afraid at all."

"What's there to be afraid of?" Shen Li sat down to drink a sip of tea and said calmly, "She hurt the person I care about the most and still wants to bully me. Am I so easy to bully? Can she harm my people?"

"If you leave her body on the bed, Brother Du will be scared to death when he arrives at night." Xiao Chenze said with a smile.

"We want to scare him to death," Shen Li said, "so that he can honestly tell us who is trying to harm Brother Dayong."

Only by knowing this can we trace back and see who was involved in the murder of my uncle and who were Wu Yongguang's spies.

As winter approaches, the days become shorter and the nights longer, and it soon becomes dark.

Brother Du finally came back with Wang'er and others.

As agreed with Shen Li and the others last night, Wang'er winked at Xiu'er as soon as he came back.

This means there is new news.

Xiu'er understood and walked towards the house where Shen Li lived.

After a while, Wang'er followed.

He turned around and looked around, and seeing that no one noticed him, he slipped in.

Xiao Chenze's men had already been hiding in the main house, waiting for Brother Du to fall into their trap.

Shen Li and Xiao Chenze sat there with Xiu'er, waiting to hear what Wang'er had to say.

As expected, Wang'er patted his chest excitedly as he entered, saying anxiously, "I was so scared! I almost got caught today. Luckily, that kind-hearted jailer helped cover up for me, so I escaped."

Seeing that the others were silent and waiting for him to continue, Wang'er didn't show off and said hurriedly, "I listened to the young lady and gave the jailer a piece of silver. The jailer actually told me a lot of things secretly..."

Originally, the prisons here belonged to the Mizhou government office, but were built near the mines to make it easier for prisoners to work there. Because the emperor was so far away, many things got out of control and became chaotic.

Some people negotiated a price with the mine manager and took prisoners to work. Some were even more daring, willing to take out prisoners on death row just to earn a little extra cash. They even offered to swap out a condemned prisoner for an innocent replacement.

The strange thing about this matter is that someone had reported it to the government office, but not only did no one from the prefectural government come to investigate, but the person who reported it was arrested and thrown into jail. It is said that he was then sent to work in an iron mine. It is very unlikely that he will get out alive in this life.

Shen Li and Xiao Chenze remained silent, knowing that it was Wu Yongguang's doing. He was taking advantage of the chaos to sell the iron ore and use it to refine iron to make weapons.

As for where the weapons are hidden and who they are for, Xiao Chenze has already left people in Mizhou and will find out.

Wang Er took a breath and continued, "The jailer only worked half a day today, so I took him out for a drink at noon, and I actually found out about Brother Dayong."

Xiu'er suddenly sat up straight in nervousness.
