General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 873 The Truth (1)

"They set a trap for me!" Zhao Yang paused, his face instantly turning red with anger.

Ji Xiaomu and Lin Feng looked at each other, and Lin Feng looked at Zhao Yang. "Don't worry, I will find out everything! If you are really wronged, I will definitely give you justice."

Zhao Yang looked at Lin Feng with tears of gratitude. "Thank you, sir."

Lin Feng asked some more questions, and after Zhao Yang answered them truthfully, Ji Xiaomu and Lin Feng left the prison.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think? Is what he said true? Do you believe what he said?" Lin Feng looked at Ji Xiaomu and asked.

Ji Xiaomu shook her head slightly.

"Sister-in-law, do you think he is fake?" Lin Feng asked.

"It's not that he is lying, but it's hard to judge now. He looks honest, but if such an honest person uses honesty as a mask, this honesty becomes his tool." After hearing what he said, Ji Xiaomu only expressed reservations. He said that he didn't know her, but he had obviously seen her.

Lin Feng looked at Ji Xiaomu in surprise, and went to the back hall with Ji Xiaomu, waiting for them to come back from their investigation.

The disciple of the Bai family came back after a while and handed the letter to Lin Feng, who then gave it to Ji Xiaomu.

Ji Xiaomu did not refuse. After opening the letter and reading the message inside, she asked Lin Feng to read it as well.

Lin Feng took it and looked at it, not knowing whether to say that they were brave or thick-skinned. "Their families have a lot of ideas."

Seeing that they could not afford to offend Ji Xiaomu, but also unwilling to waste their money in vain, several families came up with a good idea. Just as Zhao Yang said, they went around in teahouses saying that the girls looked down on Jinxiu Pavilion and wanted to change their employers. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that it was impossible, but there were always some people who still believed what they said.

Several families asked people to pretend to be wealthy businessmen and found a place specifically to meet those bosses who were interested, pretending to bid, creating a tense atmosphere and raising their prices.

In the end, Zhao Yang became the big fat sheep. He paid six taels of monthly silver in advance to each of them, and let them get several dozen taels first, which several families happily shared.

This matter is not even a secret, it's just that no one has connected the dots. Some people think it's a joke. After all, if someone wants to get out of Jinxiu Pavilion after entering it, they have either been kicked out or are too old to work.

Besides, many people saw the girls being driven out.

Just ask anyone and you will know that the girls' identities are definitely fake.

Only Zhao Yang was so absorbed in it that he didn't even bother to ask anyone.

"He is really anxious." said Ji Xiaomu.

Lin Feng curled his lips. It was no wonder that he was cheated since he was so careless in doing business.

"Those girls were only given six taels of silver in total, and they had to use five taels to bribe three people. It was really difficult for them." Lin Feng looked at the contents of the letter. It clearly stated that several girls paid people to set fire, and one of the three people was the lover of another girl.

They originally just wanted to set the fire to scare people and didn't intend to make a big deal out of it, but unexpectedly all three of them were arrested. They decided to secretly send them a letter, asking them to say that the embroidery shop owner hired someone to do it. This way they could exonerate themselves since it was only a minor crime and they would be released soon.

Bai Yichen seemed to have handled the information personally and replied with a sentence below.

"Zhao Yang got addicted to gambling and owed the gambling house twenty taels of silver."
