Wan Rong fell to her knees, ”If Young Noble can avenge this humble one's death, this humble one would be happy even if I were to die today!”
Although she didn't believe that he, a passerby, could help her, she was at the end of her tether, so she used every ounce of hope she had.
Long Feiyu said: ”Tell me!”
Wan Rong wiped away her tears and said slowly: ”Three days ago, when I went to Extraterritorial's house, I lost my firewood. When I came back, my right leg was injured and I limped, and when I asked him about it, he said that she was bitten by Nan Family's dog. Who knew that at noon, the people of Nan Family would suddenly come to find me, and say that I had lost her dog, and that she wanted me to kneel and kowtow to his dog, and even compensate him with three taels of silver. The Nan Family is powerful, and we cannot afford to offend him, and kowtowing to him is nothing much, but three taels of silver said that we could not take out anything else. She also said that if she didn't bring more silver, she would beat me to death and sell me off … Qing Huai, poor me don't even have three taels of silver, where can I get three taels of silver? On the second day, I borrowed all my neighbors, but they only managed to get one tael of silver. In the afternoon, they came and took one tael of silver, but still beat me up severely. In the evening, my husband … My husband is dead... ”Their father-in-law went to their house to discuss justice and was beaten to death …” As he spoke up to this point, he was choked with sobs and unable to speak.
Long Feiyu was infuriated. ”Such a shameful thing happened! The Nan Family really deserved to be killed! I ask you, why don't you go to the authorities and sue them? ”Could it be that the government doesn't care about such matters?”
Wan Rong said with grief and indignation: ”After I sent father and husband up the mountain, I shall report them to the County Yamen and ask someone to write a bill against them. But the county magistrate tore up my bill right there and then, and even said that if I were to report again, I will break both my legs!”
Long Feiyu asked in surprise: ”Is there such a thing? Why? Is Nan Family and the county magistrate relatives? ”
Wan Rong said: ”Young master does not know about the Nan Family. Other than the members of the Nan Family, there is a younger brother who is a high ranking official in the capital. Yesterday, the gentleman who wrote the bill for me was also beaten up... ”He's dead, it's me who harmed him!” Young master, it's better for you to hurry on your way. I can't implicate young master anymore, so just let me go accompany my husband! ”
Long Feiyu exhaled: ”There's no rush, right? I'll help you write Zhang Ye down, I'll accompany you to file another report!”
Wan Rong shook her head: ”Young Noble is a good person, it's fine if I die early or late, but Young Noble's gold body, you can't take any risks! No, no, no! ”
Long Feiyu said slowly: ”I am not here to help you complain, but to see if there is justice in this world!”
Wan Rong looked at his calm face, and the flames of anger that were flickering in his eyes, was moved to the point that tears welled up in his eyes.
Wu Ping County Yamen. In the afternoon, the big drum in front of County Yamen was struck heavily. The person who was beating the drum was a young man. The already heavy drum began to ring under his hands. It had an even more shocking momentum. The voice was monotonous yet bold, and one after another came from far away. Beside him was a pale-faced nun.
Although his clothes were simple and unadorned, he had a very proper appearance. His almond eyes revealed a sense of desolation, but also a bit of sadness.
Of course, Long Feiyu had put on the human skin mask. He had a premonition that the commotion this time wouldn't be small, and it could also be that he wasn't willing to let it small!
