Chapter 125: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (33)
"The old man saw his daughter before she died. His daughter told him personally. Other people in the Li Mansion also saw it at the time."
Shui Zhizi lowered her eyes and asked, "Really?" Shui Zhizi already knew about it.
Shui Zhizi even knew that there was more than one servant who was beaten and killed by Ying Wan'er at will, but this woman was the only one who did not sell herself to the Li Mansion, but only worked in the Li Mansion because of her good cooking skills.
"That woman was sold to a brothel by Madam Li just because Lord Li helped her pick up the handkerchief and sachet she dropped, and the old man's daughter was beaten to death by Madam Li just because Lord Li praised her for her delicious cooking."
Furong was very sad. She had always known that the lives of people like them were worthless, but King Rui was a good master.
After following Shui Zhizi, Shui Zhizi didn't allow her to call herself a slave, let alone say a word to her.
So this was the first time Furong had seen something like this in person.
"Then this Lord Li is really causing a lot of harm to people. Furong, do you think Lord Li knows about these things?"
The Li family’s affairs happened because Li Chuan lost his memory and remembered nothing, so what about these things?
Does Li Chuan really know nothing? Is he really that stupid now?
Furong looked at Shui Zhizi in surprise. She thought Shui Zhizi would say that Madam Li was cruel, because Shui Zhizi was the kindest person. The Mingyuan Hall she opened had been saving people all the time, and it didn't matter based on one's background.
Shui Zhizi was just speaking from her heart; she didn't expect Furong to give her an answer. Shui Zhizi had her own judgment about Li Chuan.
"Then what? Since there is evidence, why is there no result? Did Mrs. Li come to refute the evidence?"
"Mrs. Li did not show up from beginning to end. The person who came to replace Mrs. Li should be a general."
Ever since the general appeared, Furong felt very aggrieved. She didn't know what was wrong, but she just felt aggrieved.
"How do you know? He's wearing battle armor."
"No, because his temperament is very similar to that of the prince. Although he is not as imposing as the prince, I am very familiar with that feeling."
"Will you be able to recognize me next time I see you?"
"Yes." Furong was no longer on guard against Shui Zhizi. She did not think there was anything wrong with Shui Zhizi asking her this question.
"and then?"
"After the general arrived, he put the blame on the kidnappers in just a few words."
"Did those people admit it?"
"They were beaten with sticks, and they admitted it because they couldn't stand it anymore."
"Furong, do you think it was those people who did it?" Shui Zhizi looked at him with contempt.
Furong said nothing, but her expression said it all.
Few people present thought that those few people were responsible, but what could they do? Their words did not count.
"What about the old man?"
"When those men were being beaten, the general whispered something into the old man's ear. The old man simply refused to sue, saying that his daughter died on her own and he just wanted to extort some money."
Shui Zhizi's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, when she asked someone to look for the old man, they did not meet him in person and their identities were hidden.
Not everyone is as alone and carefree as she is.
Shui Zhizi only thought of this after she met Ren Yue for the first time and was recognized by Ren Yue. So she was on guard when she met the old man.
"So this is the end of it?"
"Yes."
Shui Gardenia couldn't help laughing out loud, and Furong looked at her in surprise.
"Nothing, I just think it's all ridiculous. It turns out that this is how the case is tried and judged. So, Furong, people like us must abide by the rules and not go against those dignitaries."
"Miss, this won't happen to you."
"Why?" Shui Zhizi wiped away the tears from laughing.
"The prince said you are his partner, he will definitely protect you."
"What if the person I offend is Madam Li? Will your prince offend the people behind Madam Li for me?"
Furong's words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them?
"Look, why am I asking you this question? I won't offend Madam Li."
Shui Zhizi already knew the answer. If she were to face the person behind Ying Wan'er, King Rui would never help her.
It’s not just because Ying Wan’er has so many people standing behind her and their power is so great.
More importantly, it is because those people really came back from the battlefield with real swords and guns, and their contributions to the Yan Dynasty are real.
King Rui himself is a military general, so he knows better how difficult it is for these generals.
He would not confront these generals just because of a small figure, or even overthrow them.
But the problem is that as long as these generals continue to protect Ying Wan'er, she will never be able to kill Ying Wan'er.
If Prince Rui could help her, Shui Zhizi wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to find out who was behind Ying Wan'er. She could just ask Prince Rui directly.
The path that Shui Zhizi is going to take is destined to be walked alone.
"Okay, there won't be any problems with the free clinic being here with Master. You can go back to the new store in Kangning Building and keep an eye on it for me. I'll go to the main store to take a look."
"Okay, miss, I will definitely help you keep an eye on the Corning Building."
Compared to serving people tea and water, Furong prefers her current job, which makes her feel that she is also someone who can do great things.
When Shui Zhizi returned to the Corning Building headquarters, Da Zhuang had not returned yet, so Shui Zhizi knew that she had guessed right.
Shui Zhizi felt so depressed that she could hardly breathe, and the burned area on her arm seemed to start to ache again.
Shui Zhizi really wanted to find someone to fight with, just like when she was wandering around.
But this was obviously impossible. In the end, she hid herself and smashed several bowls before she could barely calm down.
Although she had already prepared herself that the road to revenge would not be easy, she still couldn't accept it when it really happened.
Why can Ying Wan'er kill so many people but not have to pay any price?
But his parents did nothing, yet they lost their lives in vain.
When Shui Zhizi appeared calmly in Corning Building again, Da Zhuang had already returned.
"Boss, you guessed right. Miss Ren was targeted not long after she came out of the court. I asked Yuan Yi to help get rid of the person, and Yuan Er has already taken Miss Ren out of the city."
"Ms. Ren's family was taken out of the city by Yuan Er yesterday, so they will be reunited today."
"Tonight the empty house of the Ren family will be burned down by a big fire. I have already told Miss Ren and told her to let her family live in the place you, the host, have arranged for them first. You will go to see her in a while."
"Miss Ren, I want to pass on a message to the boss."
Shui Zhizi touched her burned arm and asked, "What did she say?"
"Miss Ren said she was sorry that she couldn't do anything to Madam Li. She also said that her life will belong to you from now on, and she is waiting for your orders."
