As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, Ruyi entered the courtyard and bowed to Li Yu. “Madam, the theater has been searched. So…

“She actually kidnapped children. This woman is really vicious.” Li Yu handed the confession to Ruyi. “This is that woman’s confession. Take it to your master and bring her back to the government office for interrogation.”

“Yes, Madam.” Ruyi took the confession and turned to the cellar, taking Su Xianyin to the government office.

Li Yu said to Ji Xiang, “Ji Xiang, go to the next room. Tell those children about Mu Sanniang using candy to knock them out and kidnap them. Tell them not to take food from strangers.”

“Got it, Madam. These children still have to be taught the rules. If only Auntie He was here.”

“There’s no need for too many rules. We’re not letting them serve in the government office. Just wait for Sir to teach them some basic etiquette. Go!” The news that Yunyin Drama Theater in Willow Flower Alley had kidnapped more than ten young ladies and locked them in cages spread throughout Yunzhou City. When Wang Zheng, who was secretly paying attention to the theater, heard the news, he could no longer sit still. He hurriedly ran to Wang Qinghai to ask for information. After confirming it from Wang Qinghai, his expression changed drastically.

Wang Qinghai looked at his frightened expression and thought that he was thinking of Ah Yue. He comforted him and said, “Uncle, Sister Ah Yue will be fine.”

Wang Zheng sighed and said, “I hope so! These people deserve to die for harming children. Was the theater owner also captured?”

Wang Qinghai shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. I only know that Lord Zhou asked the constable to send a corpse back to the government office early this morning. He said that it was an assassin who went to the farm to assassinate someone. After registering it, he sent it to the mortuary. I heard that Lord Zhou didn’t even return to the government office before bringing people to search Willow Flower Alley.”

Wang Zheng thought to himself that he was done for. He hurriedly said to Wang Qinghai, “Qinghai, help me pay attention and tell me if there’s any other news. I’m going back.”

Wang Qinghai touched his chin and looked at Wang Zheng’s back. He thought to himself, Could it be that the assassin who attacked the magistrate’s family was related to Second Uncle?

Wang Zheng was in a mess when he came out of Wang Qinghai’s place. After returning, he walked towards Old Master Wang’s courtyard. Halfway there, he turned around and went to the small temple hall. When he reached the temple hall, he saw Old Madam Wang kneeling there and chanting scriptures. He didn’t know what to say and sat there with his head lowered.

Old Madam Wang waited for a long time but did not hear anything. When she opened her eyes and saw Wang Zheng sitting on the chair, her heart skipped a beat. She scolded, “Look at you. Did you do something stupid again?”

“Mother.” Wang Zheng looked at the old lady and hesitated.

Old Madam Wang walked to his side and sat down. “Tell me! What stupid thing did you do again?”

Wang Zheng stammered, “I… I hired someone two days ago to kidnap the magistrate’s wife… Mother, the theater has also been sealed by the government office. Qinghai said that Magistrate Zhou sent a corpse back to the government office early in the morning. Do you think Boss Su has been captured by

Magistrate Zhou? What I instructed her to do might have been exposed.”

Old Madam Wang looked at Wang Zheng resentfully and said angrily, “Now that your father has fallen from a stroke, you’re still guilty. I originally thought that Kun’er would go to the capital to prepare for the exam with his uncle’s guuudllce. vvnen ne geLS Ld11Keu 011 une uUdLLer LXd11H11dL1011S nexL year, it means that the muddle-headed things you did have been forgotten and our family has been let off the hook. Yet you still have the guts to provoke the magistrate?” Old Madam Wang said exhaustedly, “Forget it, forget it. The Wang family’s ancestral power is over. Let’s leave it to fate!”

At this moment, Granny Tang entered in a panic. “Old Madam, Lord Wu brought the constables over. He said that he wants to bring Master to the government office for questioning.”

When Old Madam Wang heard this, her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground. Wang Zheng hurriedly supported her. “Mother, what should we

Master had already fallen. Zheng’er was about to get into trouble again. If she fell again, the other clansmen would eat her alive. When Old Madam Wang thought of this, she stabilized her mind and was helped up by Granny Tang. She said to Wang Zheng, “Stay here and don’t move. I’ll go take a look first.”

Granny Tang helped Old Madam Wang to the front hall and they saw two squads of constables standing at the door. Butler Wang was bowing and talking to Wu Tingxian.

Old Madam Wang couldn’t help but feel a little sad. She thought about how even the magistrate in Yunzhou City had been respectful to the Wang family in the past. Unexpectedly, they had fallen into such a state.

When Wu Tingxian saw Old Madam Wang, he took a step forward and cupped his hands. “Old Madam Wang, I’ve offended you. I’m here to bring Wang Zheng back to the government office for questioning.”

Old Madam Wang gave Butler Wang a look. Butler Wang nodded and left. Old Madam Wang looked at Wu Tingxian and pretended not to know. “Lord Wu, what did my Zheng’er do?”

Wu Tingxian cupped his hands and said, “Old Madam Wang, the magistrate’s family is staying in the manor outside the city. Last night, someone went to the manor to assassinate them. After the assassin was captured, she confessed that acted under Wang Zheng’s instructions. I’m here to bring Wang Zheng back for questioning.”

“Sir Wu, there must be a misunderstanding. I’m afraid someone is deliberately framing…”

“Old Madam Wang.” Wu Ting raised his hand to stop Old Madam Wang from speaking. He cupped his hands and said, “I’ll tell you the truth. Someone saw Master Wang go to Yunyin Drama Theater. The assassin is the owner of Yunyin Drama Garden, Su Xianyin. She personally admitted that Wang Zheng spent more than 10,000 taels of silver to hire her and has already given her 4,000 taels of silver. Please get someone to call Wang Zheng out. I’ll bring him back and question him. If it’s not his fault, I’ll naturally let him back.”

Seeing this, Old Madam Wang knew that there was no room for negotiation.

She bowed and said, “Lord Wu, please help take care of him.”

Butler Wang went forward and stuffed a pouch into Wu Tingxian’s sleeve.

Wu Tingxian smiled and cupped his hands. “Old Madam, the assassin has been captured. Fortunately, the magistrate’s family is safe and sound.”

When Old Madam Wang heard this, she thought to herself that since they were safe and sound, Second Brother’s crime wouldn’t be too serious. As long as she made some arrangements and asked the Four Seas Bank to negotiate on account of their past relationship, he should be fine. After thinking about it, Old Madam Wang bowed to Wu Tingxian and said, “Lord Wu, please take care of him.’

“Sure, sure.” Wu Ting smiled and agreed. Old Madam Wang got someone to call Wang Zheng over.

At this moment, Madam Lin also heard the news. She kept muttering to herself, “First it was Ah Yue, and now it was Master. The magistrate’s wife must be a girl from Jinniang’s family. Could it be that Jinniang already knows that it was Granny Han who pushed her down the mountain stream? She must have told the magistrate’s wife all these. This is why she has only attacked my family time and time again.”o

Madam Lin and the maidservant rushed to the front hall. Seeing that Wu Tingxian and a group of constables were about to leave with Wang Zheng, she blurted out, “Master, Jinniang must have instructed her to take revenge on us.”

Master Wang went forward and grabbed her. “What? Where’s Jinniang? Why did she order someone to take revenge on us?

Wu Tingxian looked at the constable impatiently. The constable walked up to Wang Zheng and cupped his hands. “Let’s go, Master Wang.”

Wang Zheng could only follow Wu Tingxian..
