C97 (1/2)
Jin Xiaofeng sat in the tower, staring blankly at the ceiling, which had been enveloped in smoke and fire.
Just after five o'clock, he heard footsteps approaching from outside.
Jin Xiaofeng stood up excitedly, waiting by the door. It was already getting dark, who would come to a place like the tower, he guessed that she would only be able to hear her cry for help from Jin Xiaotao.
She nervously clenched her hands, waiting for the copper lock to fall with a ”pa da” sound. The door of the building was pushed open by someone, and the person who entered was a stranger whom Jin Xiaofeng had never seen before.
The man was standing in the doorway with a small silver wine jug in his hand.
”Who are you?” Jin Xiaofeng was a little curious, and instinctively retreated two steps.
”I'm sorry.” The man drank all the wine in one gulp, threw the jug of wine outside the door, tore off his clothes in a few strokes, entered the tower and closed the door behind him.
Just as He Zheng and Meng Guangmei walked to the side of the pine and cypress in the backyard, they heard the man's loud breathing coming from inside the tower.
All these years, he and Meng Guangmei had been treating each other with utmost respect, and it could even be said that they were raising an eyebrow at the same time. He was unwilling to believe that Meng Guangmei was really going to act like this and frame others.
Therefore, he took a step forward, grabbed's arm and said softly, ”It is her great fortune for Master to love Ah Wan, but she does not know how to cherish it. Old Master, you are not worthy of feeling sad for her. At least you have a concubine that will always be by your master's side. ”
The evidence was conclusive, but Ah Wan's name was not mentioned. Meng Guangmei had originally planned to let justice see with her own eyes how Ah Wan had ruined everything before she explained everything to him.
However, at this time, in a moment of anxiety, he had already revealed Ah Wan's identity.
From what he heard, it seemed to be all Meng Guangmei's arrangements.
”It's not her I'm sad about, it's you.” He Zheng suddenly sighed and turned to look at Meng Guangmei, ”Guangmei, you are the wife that I should officially marry. I respect you. You should never have done something so dirty. ”
Meng Guangmei's face paled as she frowned: ”Master, what do you mean by this?”
With a finger, he pointed at the door of the tower and asked, ”The door isn't open yet, how do you know that it's Ah Wan inside?”
Hearing that, Meng Guangmei's brows relaxed, it turned out that the old master was blaming her for not catching the evidence and framing the others, thus she explained: ”Inside, it was all Ah Wan, I had actually known about this a long time ago, and only waited for her to appear.”
Before he could finish his words, he heard righteousness speaking, ”You naturally knew about this a long time ago. Weren't you the one who arranged all of this?”
He stepped forward and kicked the door open.
In the dim tower, a man was standing on the body of a woman. She was stripped naked, her black hair was disheveled, and her mouth and nose were tightly covered by the man's large hands. She could not make a sound, and only her pair of eyes could be seen.
When she saw the woman's face, Meng Guangmei felt as if she had fallen into an icehouse.
She was an intelligent woman, and she knew instantly that she had been tricked.
Just as expected, in the next moment, the man had already pleaded with Meng Guangmei: ”Madam, I really did what you said. Who would have known that the woman in this tower is not Ah Wan … Available... ”But I've already drunk the wine you gave me. I really can't control myself …”
The moment Jin Xiaofeng was let go of the man, her entire body collapsed onto the ground like a falling kite. She was scared and wronged at the same time, her legs seemed to have been pierced by needles, she was numb and in pain.
She had forgotten everything, and all she knew was that she was crying.
The uglier the family was, the better it was for fewer people to know about it.
In addition, there were guests in the mansion, and Justice had called them to the study room.
He sat in front of the table until Jin Xiaofeng stopped crying and said: ”Tell me, what happened?”
The man scrambled forward, ”Sir He, Madam asked me to do this. She said that as long as I listen to her orders and do as she says, I will be given fifty silver taels, regardless of whether I succeed or not.”
”I'm really short on money, but I don't have the heart to harm others. I promised my wife that I would immediately report to Aunt Wan and told her not to go to the tower tonight. Whether or not Chengdu will give me money, I don't have no conscience.” Available... ”But how could I have known that there was another person in the tower …”
As the man finished speaking, he also began to sob, as if the one that had suffered a loss was him.
”What kind of wine is in that silver pot?” And righteousness staring at the man on the ground.
The man hesitated for a moment, then looked at Meng Guangmei.
He slammed his hand on the table: ”Speak!”
”Yes …” It's a sorghum wine with the Mandarin Duck Powder added on it. ” The man closed his eyes and spat them out.
Mandarin Duck Powder is a famous aphrodisiac, strong medicinal effect, alcohol has the effect of promoting blood circulation. Adding the Mandarin Duck Powder to the sorghum wine not only made it more effective, but it also acted instantly and in good time.
The man continued, ”Madam, Madam said that if I get caught by you in time, Aunt Wan is the one who ordered me to drink this wine and force me …”
”Meng Guangmei!” And righteous anger, ”You are a dignified county's madam, how dare you secretly hide such medicine?”
Meng Guangmei's face was ashen, but she stood up straight and laughed coldly: ”Master, I said I never did it before, do you believe me?”
