Chapter 141: Cannot Report to the Police
Chapter 141: Cannot Report to the Police
Taking the key and going out, Yuxiu quickly found a large warehouse. Looking at the key in her hand, she smiled slightly. It was very easy for her to get in, so there was no need for any key.
After taking a few casual looks inside, she found that this should be the public school's warehouse. Most of the things inside were piled up in boxes. Yuxiu didn't care what the things were. With a wave of her hand, she put them all into her own space.
No matter whether it is useful to her or not, she doesn't want to keep it and let these people get it for free.
As for Wen Wanwan, I can just compensate her in other ways. Maybe when I have the chance in the future, I can return it to her then.
Afraid that those people would think of this, Yuxiu did not delay. After working for a while, she looked at the empty warehouse and went out contentedly.
As for the other warehouse, it looks a little smaller, and the things inside seem to be newer, whether it is jewelry or clothes and fabrics, they all look very festive.
I think it is the dowry prepared for the girls, but seeing that these things are all real good things, Yuxiu doesn't believe that they are prepared for Wen Wanwan.
Most of them were borrowed from her name, but in fact they were prepared for Wen Jinzhu.
After searching the second room for a long time, Yuxiu also gained a lot. She brushed the dust off her sleeves and came to Wen Wanwan's yard quietly again.
Today, Wen Wanwan brought back a total of eighteen people from outside. All of them were carefully selected for her by Qian Da at Yuxiu's request. Among them, several women came from the escort agency, and were those that Qian Da was planning to keep for his pawnshop. After listening to Yuxiu's request, he had no choice but to let them go in order to keep this big client.
After spending a huge sum of money to buy these people, Yuxiu gave Qian Da an extra silver note of 100 taels, asking him to take care of all the people in the pawnbroker and not to reveal the origins of these people.
The master and servant of the Wen family did not carry that much silver and money on them. When they saw Yuxiu giving money and working hard, they were almost moved to tears and promised repeatedly that they would bring the silver notes to pay her back tomorrow.
When Yuxiu went over, Wen Wanwan's yard was full of maids and old women kneeling on the ground. At a glance, there were about ten of them.
These are the servants who usually serve Wen Wanwan, but it goes without saying that they are all members of the second house now.
Before, they looked a little unhappy when they saw Wen Wanwan bringing back so many people, but before they could react, they were pinned to the ground by those newcomers.
Some people clamored to go find the second wife, while others shouted for the old lady to make the decision. However, when facing Wen Wanwan, the real master, they did not show much awe.
If it had happened on a normal day, Wen Wanwan would not have bothered with them so much. Even if they made any mistakes, she would just scold them. But today was different. She heard that they were obviously her servants, but they were thinking of going to find someone from the second house for something. Wen Wanwan thought of the poison that had been in her body for so many years, and she felt a chill in her heart.
Anyway, the indentures of these people are still in her hands. Since they like to betray her, Wen Wanwan no longer cares about anything.
He immediately ordered people to hold those people down and gave them a slap in the face.
She just wanted to vent her anger. As for who these people obeyed, she didn't want to ask at all. She knew it anyway.
"Tie them up and throw them in the woodshed. Give each of them a bowl of mute medicine to drink. Take them out early tomorrow morning and hand them over to the human traffickers. Sell them as far away as you can. They will never be able to return to the capital."
Wen Wanwan glanced at Mingyue, who then threw out a large medicine bag. She was not going to kill these people. She already had a bad reputation outside, and if she casually killed so many servants, it would give people the impression that she was cruel and ruthless.
As for whether selling it would get these people a bargain, she was not worried at all.
These people work in the general's mansion all year round, and their lives are more comfortable than those women from wealthy families outside. If they were sold to remote areas, where they would be beaten and scolded all day long and still have to work, they would naturally suffer.
After dealing with these people, Wen Wanwan held a small meeting with those who were bought today, and asked Mingyue to teach them the rules and assign them some tasks. In addition, there was one person among these people who had been a manager before, so Wen Wanwan thought about it and decided to hand over all the work in the yard to her.
Yuxiu stood in the dark and watched for a long time. Seeing that Wen Wanwan had arranged these people well, she had no intention of leaving and left the Wen family directly.
She left this time feeling quite contented, but she had no idea how much psychological trauma she had left on the people in the second branch of the Wen family.
"Go... go report to the police..."
Uncle Wen was so angry that his face turned blue, and he immediately asked the servant beside him to report to the police.
It was just getting dark, and the Wen family had inexplicably encountered such an outrageous thing. You have to know that this is the capital city under the feet of the emperor, and so many things were quietly taken away. They must report it to the authorities and let them investigate it thoroughly.
"No, you can't report it to the police!"
Unlike the furious Uncle Wen, Aunt Mo was pale. She hugged the trembling Wen Jinzhu and firmly opposed to reporting to the police.
"Not to mention that it's already so late now, the officials in the government office have already left. Even if someone accepted the case, it wouldn't sound good if the news got out."
After all, Mrs. Mo was a woman, and she had been in the back house for many years. Naturally, she knew that if these words were spread, they would definitely cause an uproar.
Miss Wen's boudoir was emptied out late at night. It's not a nice thing to say.
I estimate that as long as they report this to the authorities, within two days, all kinds of versions of the rumor will spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
From now on, Wen Jinzhu would never marry a royal noble. Even ladies from higher social status would not want such a daughter-in-law.
"If we don't report it to the police, will our family suffer this loss in vain?"
Uncle Wen frowned. There were many valuable things in Wen Jinzhu's house, but now there was nothing left. They were all taken away in a fit of anger. As a man, he could not swallow this and let it go without pursuing any questions.
"This man dared to move so many things silently. He must have colluded with people in the mansion. Why not tie these people up first and torture them thoroughly? Maybe we can follow the clues and catch the thief..."
Mrs. Mo gnashed her teeth in hatred, and her eyes swept across the faces of the maids and old women kneeling in the yard one by one. The cruelty in her eyes made everyone start to tremble with fear.
"It's unfair... Please spare my life, Madam. I and the others have been working in the yard and really didn't hear anything..."
