Chapter 731

I’m The Lanlord(7)

The news that every bandit of Hei Feng Gang wad killed in a fire came late, everyone in the nearby villages were shocked.

A social canker is silently gotten rid of just like that?

Various versions of speculation came out after this, spreading from mouth to mouth. In the end, no one knew what the original version was.

Everyone thought that it must be a chivalrous hero that could not stand Fei Feng Gang for robbing and oppressing the villagers and ended them. They all admired and were grateful for this mysterious hero.

If they knew that Shi Sheng vanquished the Hei Feng Gang because she did not want to leave anything behind, that would cause her trouble. Who knew how they would feel.

Shi Sheng, who became a noble hero, unintentionally listened to Qiu Shui’s report about collecting Su Hua’s land back.

Although Su Hua regretted what she said about the land, she could only return the land to the Ruan Family as she declared it in front of the magistrate.

Now the Su Family were pretty unhappy with Su Hua.

“By the way, Miss. Have you heard the news about Hei Feng Gang?” Qiu Shui mentioned as she finished reporting.

Shi Sheng laid on the chaise lounge, with her eyes closed. Her long lashes left a fan-shaped shadow on her fair skin, “yes.”

“Miss, who do you think wiped out the Hei Feng Gang?” Qiu Shui was curious, Miss said she was saved by someone when kidnapped. Could it be the same person that saved Miss?

Qiu Shui could not stop filling the holes in her brains the moment she started.

“Me.” Shi Sheng’s soft pink lips moved.

“Piang!” There was a loud bang outside that coincidentally drowned Shi Sheng’s voice.

Qiu Shui ran to the door to see, “what’s going on with you guys? If you can’t lift it, then get more people, be careful.”

Qiu Shui went out and instructed them, by the time she was done, she had already forgotten her question.

Shi Sheng could only describe life in ancient times in a word, ‘boring!’

Other than to eat and drink and sleep, it was the same routine every day. It was like raising a pig.

Oh, she could go shopping too.

This dynasty was quite tolerant of women. Unlike some backgrounds, those who can go out were only the married ones.

Shi Sheng walked from the beginning of the street to the end of the street and turned back out of boredom.

“Miss? What are you doing?” Qiu Shui was puzzled from following Shi Sheng roaming back and fro on the street. What are we trying to do from wandering on the streets?

“I’m bored!” Shi Sheng looked up and sighed.

The female lead didn’t come to pick a fight with me. I’ve nothing to do, how am I not bored?

Qiu Shui’s mouth twitched, suggesting, “I heard that there will be a tea party. Why don’t Miss have a look?”

Tea party?

To drink tea, is it?

“Lead the way.” She waved her hand after considering for a moment.

Tea parties were a convention where a group of scholars would compare their poems and their knowledge in a tea house. Many maidens would gather here as most of the scholars were young and talented.

The tea house had two floors. The ladies were on the first floor. The first floor was draped with a light veil to hide the ladies face. The men were on the ground floor.

Shi Sheng went upstairs and heard the ladies exclaims.

“Mister He surely will win today.”

“Mister He is overflowing with talents. No one can outshine him.”

Shi Sheng followed the ladies’ sight and looked down to see a young man was surrounded in the middle. He was pretty good looking, with a heavy academic aura. He was chatting with someone gently.

“That’s He Ting, the second son of the He Family.” Qiu Shui explained softly to Shi Sheng, “he’s brilliant since young. I heard that he’s going to the capital next for the official examinations. ”

The He Family’s ancestors were high-ranking officials after the dynasty changed. They stooped to running a silk business. Although their family assets could not compete with Ruan Family, their connection was good as they ran business outside.

Shi Sheng’s sight only stopped on He Ting for a moment and spotted the person next to him “who’s that person sitting next to He Ting?”

Qiu Shui looked in Shi Sheng’s direction, “That’s the first son of the He Family, He Qing. He Qing’s feeble, the He Family rarely let him out. Oddly, he’s here today.”
