Chapter 276 Liquidation
The people who had been shouting with Yuan Yi just now seemed to have been choked by someone suddenly, and they were unable to say a word.
"Really?" Feng Jiuqing said reluctantly, "The head of the Yuan family has not yet answered me, in this barren place like Xicheng, where did your Yuan family come from so many good things?"
A thin layer of sweat had already appeared on Yuan Yi's forehead.
"This... Yuan also has some properties in other places. It is not surprising that he has these properties."
"But these properties combined are not as large as one page in this account book. Why don't you tell me today where all these good things of yours come from?"
Yuan Yi's eyes dodge and he insists that these things are his own property.
Feng Jiuqing didn't force him to make it clear now.
"If you can't remember, then go to the prison and think about it carefully. As for the others..."
She changed the topic and glanced at the other people. The ones who were aggressive just now were like quails, with their heads lowered, afraid that Feng Jiuqing would call their names next.
Qin Yuheng still had a gentle smile on his face. He took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Feng Jiuqing.
"Young Master, calm down. This is a serious matter, so don't let your anger break your body."
As soon as he said this, the other people looked at him with contempt.
As if he didn't realize it, he coughed twice and said, "Yu Heng didn't feel well, so he left first."
Feng Jiuqing frowned, it had been several days, and Qin Yuheng's body was still not feeling well. He looked so thin and frail, as if he was not in good health.
At this time, Qin Yuheng had already walked far away. She withdrew her gaze, and her cold eyes roamed around everyone.
"If you are looking for money from the imperial court, go to the prison and ask Yuan Yi where the official silver allocated by the imperial court has gone. Maybe he can get you one hundred thousand taels of silver."
Song Qi opened his mouth and was stopped by others before he could say anything. In the end, he could only leave in anger.
The city lord sat next to him and didn't say a word from beginning to end.
After everyone left, he said with some worry: "Young master, these people are not easy to get along with. What's more, this place is so far away from Yandu. Today you have lost their face. This..."
He let out a long sigh, what a good thing.
"As the leader of a country, if I am timid in doing things, then who will provide justice for the people?"
What's more, if this matter is not resolved, it will not only be the people of Xicheng who will suffer, but I am afraid that even her, the young master, will not be spared.
The city lord didn't know the inside story and just thought that Feng Jiuqing was telling lies.
He looked annoyed, which made Feng Jiuqing hesitate to speak. She was not just a young girl, she knew exactly what she was doing.
It had been almost a month since Feng Jiuqing came to Xicheng. She suddenly remembered that Feng Yu was in charge of Chao Gang in the palace, and she couldn't help but feel worried.
Feng Xiye just smiled faintly after knowing her worries, with a faint sarcasm in her smile.
"My younger sister is very capable. Jiu'er shouldn't worry about her. There shouldn't be much to do these days and she won't be tired."
Feng Xiye knew more about the affairs of the court than Feng Jiuqing. Since he said there was no need to worry, Feng Jiuqing naturally would not continue to take this matter to heart.
Now she only wants to investigate clearly what happened in Xicheng and give an explanation to the people of the world.
There is no airtight wall in the world. What happened in the city lord's mansion that day has already reached the ears of the people in Xicheng.
It's just that they were used to being bullied by people from several big families. Even if they had resentment in their hearts, they didn't dare to express it. Seeing Yuan Yi still jumping around every day, they secretly said that Feng Jiuqing was soft-hearted and a useless idiot.
Feng Xiye was worried that Feng Jiu would be sad after hearing these groundless accusations, so she secretly asked someone to suppress these folk voices.
Because of Yuan Yi's incident, the family heads were quiet for a few days, and Feng Jiuqing also had a peaceful life for a few days.
But this day did not last long. On this day, Feng Jiuqing had just gone to inspect the half-repaired dam. When she returned to the inn, before she had time to take a drink of water and rest, she saw Song Qi and several family heads standing respectfully.
The door of the inn.
"Young Master, you are finally back."
Feng Jiuqing raised her eyebrows, a little confused, "Who are here?"
"We are really sorry for the young master. We listened to Yuan Yi's slander before and felt that the young master deliberately embezzled the one hundred thousand taels of silver. This is very offensive to the young master. Please forgive me."
"Yes, yes, we don't know anything. I didn't expect that brat to do such a bold thing despite his age and courage. This has nothing to do with any of us. The young master is so wise.
You must be able to distinguish right from wrong."
Feng Jiuqing sneered, her face very serious, "Oh? According to what you mean, if I blame you then, will it be my fault?"
"No, no, no, of course it has nothing to do with the young master. It must be because we didn't do a good enough job that made the young master suspicious." Several people in Vanity Fair are very good at flattering others.
It's a pity that Feng Jiuqing doesn't appreciate it at all, "I have received your thoughts, but this matter has not been investigated clearly. If you are really related to these things, of course I will not let any of you go!"
Once she becomes serious, few people can withstand her aura.
These old foxes, who were usually calm at first, now have evasive eyes and a look of panic that cannot be concealed on their faces.
Over the years, Song Qi has become accustomed to calling the shots, so how could he be willing to stumble in front of a little girl?
A cold light flashed through his eyes, "In recent days, we have not only wanted to apologize to the young master, but mainly wanted to invite the young master to come with us to see the dam. If something like this happened, we are willing to pay the money, but
Something serious like this happened before, and we are worried about this drawing..."
Feeling Feng Jiuqing's increasingly cold gaze, he quickly changed his words, "We have no other intentions. We just want to go with the young master to see if the embankment is really stable. If things like before happen again, Xicheng's
How desperate the people must be."
Feng Jiuqing was not sure what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
After she pondered for a moment, she slowly said: "Since you are worried, I will go and have a look with you personally. I have said that this dam is very important to the people of Xicheng. If I know about it, who would dare?
I can't forgive him for tampering with this matter!"
"Yes, yes, the young master is so wise and powerful. With you here, who would dare to do anything to the west city's dam?"
