Farm widows have space, pick up a treasure on the way to escape

Chapter 1072
Jiang Jiuniang nodded, as if she was thinking to herself: "That's strange, I thought you knew, otherwise why would they chase you all night?"

When she said this, she paid special attention to the little beggar's expression, and sure enough she found that his movements were sluggish for a moment.

He was still young, so he was involved in this situation just to have a full stomach. The other party was too cruel to ask him to do things and even kill him.

"Madam, who are they and why do they want to kill me?"

The little beggar was very aggrieved. He was just a poor child without a father and a mother. How could he still offend these powerful people?

This was what Jiang Jiuniang was waiting for, and she pretended to be lazy and said: "We don't know who the specific person is, but our people found out that the assassin who assassinated you last night finally returned to the prefect's office."

"It's actually the prefect!"

The pupils in the little beggar's eyes were shaking, and his little hands were clenched into fists, feeling indescribable anger and panic in his heart.

How big of an official is the prefect? ​​Why are you arguing with a little beggar like him?

In total, he only got three copper coins.

Peng Yuan finally said: "Now that the little beggar has been rescued by us, can he go and identify him in front of the magistrate? He, the magistrate, would really disgrace his parents and magistrates by doing such a thing!"

The little beggar also nodded repeatedly: "I am willing to identify those people! I have a good memory and remember what they look like!"

Peng Yuan was even happier and looked at Jiang Jiuniang expectantly.

Jiang Jiuniang said, "It's too late."

"Sister Jiu, what do you mean?"

Peng Yuan blinked, with a look of pure curiosity. Jiang Jiuniang patiently explained to her: "If the little beggar was successfully killed last night, then other people would be able to live. However, the little beggar was saved by our people, and that pair It’s convenient for someone to die without any evidence, so where can I go to identify him now?”

When the little beggar was brought back last night, she thought of this.

The reason why I didn't continue to intervene was because I felt it was unnecessary, because this matter alone could not do anything to the Cao family, and it would only add to the trouble.

Peng Yuan's face turned pale again as she listened.

Although she knew that human life was worthless, she could not treat it so lightly.

"How can they be so cruel? Those are their own people!"

The little beggar was also frightened. If it were not for the kindness of the two ladies in front of him, he would not have been thrown to the top of the mountain to feed the wolves.

"Madam, save the villain!"

He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing. Although he was alone and a little beggar with nothing, he did not want to die in such an unclear death.

At the same time, I also understand the truth in my heart: not everyone's charity is well-intentioned, and sometimes it may cost one's life.

"There is only one way to save you now."

Jiang Jiuniang did not answer Peng Yuan, but instead spoke to the little beggar.

When the little beggar heard that he could still be saved, he pricked up his ears and listened to what Jiang Jiuniang said.Although he is not sure that Jiang Jiuniang is definitely good, but thinking about it from another perspective, these two ladies are victims, but they are still willing to help him. Although there is the possibility of taking advantage of them, they are better than the prefect, at least not as much. There is no conscience, even if you do something for them, you will be silenced.

Therefore, even if he knew it was being used, he was still willing to do so!

Jiang Jiuniang saw that he was listening attentively, and then said: "After you left, you told people that someone in the prefect's house wanted to kill you. If someone asked you why, you said you didn't know. You just heard someone arranged to kill you on the street yesterday." You almost bumped into a lady, and someone tried to kill you at night. Those people finally returned to the government office, so you guessed that the prefect wanted to kill you. The bigger the news about this, the better. It would be best if everyone knew about it. Once you know it, you can fight for a way out for yourself.”

The little beggar was confused. If he did this, wouldn't he die faster?

But Peng Yuan understood and said with a smile: "Now that you go out, the people in the prefecture will definitely still want to kill you, but as long as you spread the matter and let the people know, the people in the prefecture will not dare to do anything to you again. Take action, because as soon as something happens to you, the finger will be pointed at the prefect, and he will not dare to touch you again."

Jiang Jiuniang glanced at Peng Yuan. Fortunately, she wasn't completely stupid, so that was good.

After being nudged by Peng Yuan, the little beggar finally understood. He kowtowed to Peng Yuan and Jiang Jiuniang three times and said, "I'll do it right now!"

Jiang Jiuniang said: "There is no rush at this moment, Chunhua, let's take him down to have something to eat first."

Only when you are full can you work hard!

"Thank you ma'am!"

The little beggar's eyes were bright. He didn't expect to be able to eat enough before leaving. He thought that he must do a good job for himself and the two nobles.

Watching the little beggar leave, Peng Yuan asked: "Sister Jiu, you are planning to ruin the prefect's reputation. What should you do next?"

"Nothing to do."

Jiang Jiuniang smiled mysteriously, which made Peng Yuan's heart itch uncontrollably: "Oh, dear sister, just tell me. I'm stupid and I really can't think of it."

Jiang Jiuniang couldn't do anything to her and said, "If you really don't plan to do anything, just let them worry and get into trouble. This matter is over."

"what?"

Peng Yuan couldn't believe it, this was not like her style!
"Striking the snake seven inches away, this little thing can't bring down Cao Zheng completely, and there is no need to hold on to him. It's better to play a bigger game and uproot him and never get over again. That would be more interesting."

Jiang Jiuniang spoke lightly, but she gave people a sense of strategizing.

Peng Yuan felt so much admiration that her eyes turned into little stars.

If Cao Zheng hadn't done something so disgusting and killed so many people for no reason, Jiang Jiuniang wouldn't have wanted to be so cruel. After all, Cao Zheng's family was quite respectful to them on the surface. That's it for the great punishment.

However, he has such little regard for human life and has harmed so many people overnight without any sympathy. It is a great disaster for such a person to serve as an official on the border.

Especially when they leave, Cao Zheng will be the local emperor here, and he still doesn't know how to exploit the people. Will the economy she finally brought up be depressed again?
Jiang Jiuniang would not allow the people she had led with all her heart to fall into the hands of a hypocrite like Cao Zheng, so before she left, she had to completely pull out this cancer.

"Okay, Sister Jiu, I will listen to you. Then you can arrange whatever I need to do!"

Her vow made Jiang Jiuniang laugh, and she said, "You don't have to do anything, just take good care of the child in your belly. I will tell Brother Qin about the rest when he comes back."

This matter was directed at Peng Yuan, so it was necessary to let Qin Jian know, and he planned to leave the handling of Cao Zheng's affairs to Qin Jian. After all, they were his wife and children, so he had to have a sense of involvement.
