Wanjin Lady

But when facing other people, he is naturally...expressionless...cold as ice.

Wen Wan curled the corners of her lips slightly and laughed at herself: I was really blind at the time to think that Zhao Heng was just an ordinary farmer's boy.

She actually believed the identity that was full of loopholes.

She must have been... really crazy about men at that time.

When Hongmei came to find Tu Erye, Tu Erye was eating breakfast and lunch with a bowl in his hand. As soon as he heard it, he knew that Wen Wan was preparing to interrogate Shi Jinquan.

Mr. Tu Erye was already eager to try, so he put down the bowl and went around behind the tree, grabbed the collar of Shi Jinquan, who was calling out in a low voice, and lifted him up and threw him away.

Hongmei's eyelids twitched as she watched Shi Jinquan's mouth full of blood. She then saw the other end of the rope holding Shi Jinquan in Tu Erye's hand and couldn't help but praise him, "Erye, you're meticulous in your work."

Master Tu snorted coldly, "This bastard is a traitor and has caused so much trouble for the boss. Of course I have to keep an eye on him."

It’s really... I’ve been unlucky recently. Last year, I tried to catch a man for the young master, but ended up bringing back trouble.

Now he is in a difficult situation and he doesn't know whether the young master will blame him in his heart.

Mr. Tu held the rope in his hand and brought Shi Jinquan to Wen Wan like leading a sheep or a dog.

Wen Wan had just given birth and was not in a position to see anyone, but time waited for no one, so Wen Wan asked Mr. Tu to wait outside the tent about ten feet away to talk.

Master Tu kicked Shi Jinquan on the back of the knee with a loud bang. Shi Jinquan staggered, his hands were tied behind his back, and he hit his head on the ground, falling flat on his face.

His teeth were broken and his gums hit the ground, and his mouth was instantly filled with blood and mud.

Perhaps knowing that he would not have a good ending today, Shi Jinquan did not even beg for mercy. Instead, he chuckled and said with his neck stiff, "Today I have fallen into the hands of the young master. This is my fate. You can beat me or kill me as you please."

The woman behind the curtain said calmly, "Why would I want your life? How much is your dog's life worth?"

"Then could it be that the Young Master is here to treat me to a meal?" Shi Jinquan chuckled, sat up, and licked the blood from his lips, looking like a complete scoundrel. "I took away all of Wen Weiming's money and borrowed a sum of money from Xinlong Bank. Young Master, there's no need to lie to me, I know everything... As long as I, Shi Jinquan, fall into the hands of you surnamed Wen, I won't be able to leave alive."

"At this point, I have nothing to argue about."

"I've already done what I've done and I've spent all my money. The worst that can happen is I'll just give you my own damn life!"

No one expected that Shi Jinquan was actually a man of integrity. He neither begged for mercy nor repented, but just stood there with his neck stiff, waiting to be punished.

Mr. Tu Erye rarely got angry, so he raised his foot and kicked him hard on the back. Shi Jinquan flew several meters away, fell to the ground, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

This is a scoundrel.

"I know. You think... if you tell me, you'll die, and if you don't tell me, you'll die too. Since we're all going to die, you can't let me have a happy ending."

Shi Jinquan laughed heartily, "That's right! I committed a capital crime! You, Wen Wan, must hate me to the core. If that's the case, why should I beg for mercy?! Why don't you just give me a quick death—"

As Shi Jinquan spoke, he stood up and hit Tu Erye's knife with his neck.

Hongmei exclaimed.

Fortunately, Master Tu was quick-witted and agile. He swung his arm, throwing the knife away, then grabbed the man's arm and forced him to kneel outside the tent. Shi Jinquan knew that this young master was all show and no substance. Back in the wine shop, he had seen that this girl was not cut out for business, so he was certain that Wen Wan wouldn't dare to kill him in front of so many people, which made him even more emboldened.

Unexpectedly, the woman's chuckle came from my ear, "You want to die, but do your wife and children want to die?"

Shi Jinquan laughed loudly, "When I became a bandit, I took my wife and children away! Don't even think about using them to threaten me!"

The woman behind the curtain coughed twice, and the sound was blocked by a curtain, and then another curtain, and it sounded buzzing.

But Shi Jinquan always felt that there was something different about this young lady.

"Although you, Shi Jinquan, are disloyal to your master, you are very kind to your wife and children. Since you have become a bandit, your wife and children must be close to you."

"What do I ask and what do you answer?"

"Otherwise, I'll have Master Tu take the portraits of your wife and children and search the nearby villages and towns. Once they're found, I'll send your wife to a brothel near the docks and castrate your son and send him to the palace as a eunuch."

Shi Jinquan's expression changed drastically. "How could you be so vicious?"

The curtain covered Wenwan's figure, making it difficult to see clearly.

But Shi Jinquan was shocked. Wen Wan was not like this before!

That girl has no talent for business and her personality is as dull as her mother's, making her difficult to control.

Why have the methods become so vicious and cruel now?

"Cruel?" The young lady behind the curtain sounded a little weak, but it made her back feel cold. "Not even one ten-thousandth as vicious as Shizhangfang."

Hongmei threatened him with a threatening look: "Our daughter has killed several bandits, how could she be afraid of an old dog like you? You've hurt my master and daughter so badly, how can your life be enough?"

Just one sentence made Shi Jinquan sweat on his forehead and feel torn.

Wen Wan sneered and urged Master Tu Er, "Call a few brothers and ride fast horses to look for them in the nearby villages and towns. They are orphans and widows... They will definitely be conspicuous!"

Master Tu turned around and left. Shi Jinquan realized how powerful Wen Wan was and panicked. "I confess! I confess everything! Whatever the young master wants to ask, I'll confess it all!"

As he spoke, Shi Jinquan's back was completely wet. Looking at the woman behind the curtain, he always felt that she was weird and eerie.

"You stole my family's account books and loans. Was it your idea or someone else's?"

Shi Jinquan gritted his teeth, a sweet and fishy taste emanating from his mouth. Mr. Tu had broken several of his teeth, and the wind kept blowing in between his teeth, making his words a little slurred. "It's... it's... Liu Lang of the Yuan family! He came straight to the winery as soon as he arrived in Ping County. He first found me and offered to cooperate with me. When I refused, he threatened to report me to the government for falsifying accounts and enriching myself."

"I know... I know Yuan Liulang won't let the Wen family go. Sooner or later, the two families will clash. When the fire at the city gate spreads, everyone in the pond will be affected, and I will definitely be implicated. I... decided to go all out and get out of this... I ran away with the account book..."

Hongmei spat at him, "Bullshit! You didn't just take the account books, you also took the payment slips from various shopkeepers in Ping County, and even went to Xinlong Bank to borrow a large sum of money at interest! You clearly want to kill the Wen family! If you do this, all the Wen family's money will fall into your hands!"

Shi Jinquan laughed, blood oozing from the corners of his lips. "Since I'm wrong, I'll stick with it forever. If you don't remove the grass at its roots, it will grow again in the spring breeze."

He glanced at the hazy outline of the carriage behind the tent, his tone sinister, "I just didn't expect... that the Wen family would survive. If I had stirred up trouble with Manager Ding of Xinlong Money Shop back then, forcing Wen Weiming to his death, this disaster wouldn't have happened today!" (End of Chapter)
