Divorced woman with child travels through time

"I..." Cheng Changqing was speechless. This General Wang was too fast. He actually had evidence of what happened yesterday.

Little did Chu Yi know that he had found Liu Ce, an extremely clever man who had already collected all the evidence of the Cheng family's misdeeds. The two hit it off immediately, and Liu Ce readily gave the evidence to Chu Yi. He had originally planned to see Ren Mu the next day, but who would have thought that he would need it so soon.

"And another thing!" Wang Erniu added, "This is evidence that Chief Cheng murdered your Second Chief Yi Wenxin. The whole 'boat falling into the sea' thing is a lie. He disagreed with your Second Chief's ideology, and seeing that the Second Chief was becoming more and more popular within the gang, he struck first and killed him!"

As the saying goes, "Strike the snake at its vital spot," and Wang Erniu knew this all too well. Now that Young Master Cheng was dead, Wang Erniu had incurred his wrath and had no choice but to kill him.

"Huh? No!"

"So the Second Gang Leader didn't die of illness?"

"Was it really Cheng Gang who did it?"

"Big brother!" Cheng Xiang exclaimed in surprise, rushing excitedly to him and asking, "Tell me, is it true?"

Cheng Changqing looked slightly flustered, but straightened his face and said, "He must be lying. How could I possibly harm my second brother? We're all family. We've traveled all over the country together. No matter how ruthless I am, I would never lay a hand on my own brother. You have to believe me!"

He didn't believe it. He had kept this extremely secret; how could Wang Erniu have obtained the evidence? Impossible! Unless!

His heart skipped a beat. Could it be?!

As they were talking, Butler Cheng came out with a pained expression, followed by Chu Yi.

Butler Cheng looked at them with a conflicted expression, his face conveying a complex emotion.

"Cheng Amao, you're actually in cahoots with them?" Cheng Xiang stared at him incredulously with wide, round eyes, the long knife in his hand seemingly ready to be thrown at him at any moment.

Upon seeing this, Butler Cheng subconsciously took a step back, moving closer to Wang Erniu.

He was about to say something when Chu Yi poked him with his hand.

Butler Cheng glanced back at Chu Yi, then remembered the silver in his arms and his family members in their hands. He hardened his heart and said loudly, "General Wang is right. Second Master was killed by the gang leader. It was intentional to make him fall into the water, and it was also true that he was saved. The gang leader only added some medicine to his cold medicine, which aggravated Second Master's condition. Second Master already had some old ailments that ordinary doctors couldn't diagnose. I handled this matter, and I can testify to it."

The moment Butler Cheng came out, Cheng Changqing knew he was doomed. He stared intently at Butler Cheng, his eyes filled with venom.

No sooner had Butler Cheng finished speaking than Cheng Xiang angrily roared at Cheng Changqing, "What else do you have to say?!"

Cheng Changqing remained expressionless and quietly took two steps back. "Listen to me first!" In that instant, he only regretted that he hadn't brought enough people with him.

The moment he retreated among his confidants, he waved his hand forward and shouted, "Attack!" Dozens of his men moved in unison. Cheng Xiang was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back on the spot.

"Ah!" Cheng Xiang screamed in agony, turned around and slashed the man to death with his sword.

This dramatic change caused an uproar throughout the audience.

The canal gang was instantly thrown into chaos and began fighting amongst themselves.

Wang Erniu looked at it casually, "Wrap it up, don't let anyone get away!"

Cheng Changqing fought and retreated, trying to slip away. But when he looked at the situation of the government troops, he realized that he was surrounded. He panicked and shouted as loudly as he could, "Brothers, stop fighting! For the sake of our years of working together, let's break out together. The government troops are our enemies now!"

It must be said that Cheng Changqing still has some prestige. Many of the people he brought with him this time were close to him. As soon as he said this, many people stopped fighting after seeing the situation.

Cheng Xiang and his men were just there to join in the fun; otherwise, they wouldn't have stood around for so long without fighting.

Cheng Xiang snorted coldly and said, "Fine, you can follow him if you want, but I'm not doing it anymore."

He turned to Wang Erniu and shouted, "General Wang, I have no grudge against you. I was summoned here because I didn't know the truth. Now I don't want to work for him anymore, nor do I want to cause any trouble with you, General. Can you let me go? I will definitely remember your kindness!"

Wang Erniu laughed heartily, "Master Cheng, you're too kind. What you say makes sense. Men, let them leave!"

The soldiers obeyed orders immediately and made way for them.

Cheng Changqing's men watched helplessly as Cheng Xiang led his men away triumphantly in front of them.

Immediately, people became unsettled, looking at each other with the same thought in mind.

"Well? You all saw it, didn't you!" Chu Yi grabbed a stool, stood on it, and shouted, "Our General Wang is a man of his word. He can't bear to harm his own people. You're all just ordinary folks, barely making ends meet. Why would you risk your lives for someone who killed your cousin? Isn't that right?"

The people below were buzzing with discussion.

"Are you really letting us leave?"

"General Wang won't pursue the matter after his military action, will he?"

“It’s true!” Wang Erniu stepped forward, standing tall and imposing. “You’re all trying to survive. To be honest, I used to be a porter myself, and I know how hard it is for you. I have no intention of making things difficult for you. It’s Cheng Changqing who’s blind. You should all leave quickly!”

As soon as Wang Erniu finished speaking, several people stepped forward and tentatively walked towards the exit. Seeing that no one was stopping them, they ran away as soon as they were out of the encirclement.

It was as if a switch had been flipped, and suddenly a huge crowd of people started running out.

Jiang Mingxin and Ouyang both laughed.

"Hey, you guys! No!" Cheng Changqing panicked and tried to stop them, but it was no use.

Soon only about a hundred people remained around him, along with several dead brothers lying haphazardly, making the scene look quite tragic.

"Chief Cheng, I advise you to surrender. This matter has not caused any harm to the general, and I believe General Wang is magnanimous and will spare your life." Ouyang Junyan advised, as they had some relationship after all.

Jiang Mingxin simply shook her head in silence.

Cheng Changqing observed the situation and, finding his words reasonable, became somewhat tempted, gradually lowering his knife. His men also put down their knives.

The soldiers came up and prepared to tie them all up and take them back to the prison.

Wang Feng stepped forward and took a rope to tie up Cheng Changqing.

Cheng Changqing was immediately resentful and looked at Wang Erniu fiercely, saying, "Consider this a mistake I made. When I get out, I will definitely come back to find you."

His gaze slowly swept over the children behind Wang Erniu.

Wang Erniu noticed this, his face turned pale, and when he looked back, he saw that Chen Xuanyu and the others had appeared out of nowhere, standing on a stool, eating dried meat and watching the show.

Jiang Mingxin shook his head again upon hearing Cheng Changqing's words. If he still dared to say such things, he probably wouldn't be able to get out of here. He had underestimated Wang Erniu's methods.

"Who goes there?" A commotion suddenly came from behind.
