Chapter 1061 We'll Never See Each Other Again
Wang Xiuniang went directly to Jiang Fenghua, her tone cold and stern, "This humble woman did not know who you were, Madam. We treated you with the utmost courtesy when you came to our village. I considered you a distinguished guest, but I never expected you to be here for my brother."
Jiang Fenghua knew she had misunderstood. "It was Wang Buzhi who told you we came here for him."
"This humble woman dares not offend such noble people. My family is too small to accommodate you all. Please leave!" Wang Xiuniang's attitude became respectful, and she was about to leave after saying this.
Jiang Fenghua stepped in front of Wang Xiuniang, "Sister Wang, you've probably misunderstood. We meant no harm. Wang Buzhi is not a simple businessman; he's a spy for the Northern Xiao Kingdom. He's been helping other countries. I'm telling you the truth so you can distinguish right from wrong."
"Wang is not only a spy, but also pretends to be a poor commoner to gain sympathy. If everyone is as he says, does that mean that all the poor people in the world can betray and murder their own country and compatriots?"
Jiang Fenghua added, “A person’s life trajectory may change, but I believe that her conscience comes from her very bones and her kindness will not change. Sister Wang, we are not bad people, and we would never harm you.”
Wang Xiuniang was stunned. Although she was an ordinary citizen, she was reasonable and could distinguish right from wrong. The lady in front of her had clear eyes and did not seem like a bad person. She asked, "Are you from the government?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "I guess so!"
"I don't know if he really committed a crime?" Wang Xiuniang continued, "What I mean is, if he really did something to betray the people, I will not tolerate him. The government should do what it should do. I raised him myself, and I failed to teach him well. I am also guilty. I am willing to take the punishment on his behalf. Madam, could you please be lenient? He is the only son of the Wang family."
Wang Xiuniang knew that treason was a capital offense punishable by the extermination of nine generations of her family, which explained why her brother only told her to quickly take her family and flee.
Jiang Fenghua knew that the Great Zhou law had this provision, and that if someone was willing to take the punishment, that would be acceptable. She said, "Even if he is the only son of the Wang family, he has to accept the punishment for the crime he committed. Sister Wang should know that the crime he committed was not a minor one!"
Wang Xiuniang turned deathly pale with fright. She knelt on the ground and said, "I know, I confess."
Jiang Fenghua's intention was not to scare her. She helped Wang Xiuniang up again. "If it wasn't Sister Wang who committed the crime, why would you admit to it? We came to Jinhua Town not to catch Wang Buzhi, but to hope that he would have a chance to be punished leniently and atone for his crimes. You are citizens of the Great Zhou, subjects of the Great Zhou. The court will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Only by cooperating with the court in the investigation can Wang Buzhi's crimes be mitigated."
Wang Xiuniang paused. She sensed that the lady in front of her wanted to help her. Otherwise, if she really had become a spy, they should have taken her directly to the yamen instead of her home, and even said so much to her.
Wang Xiuniang also realized what was going on, "So, Madam wants me to persuade him to atone for his sins through meritorious service?"
Jiang Fenghua smiled and said, "Sister Wang is still such a perceptive person."
Wang Xiuniang asked, "Return it?"
"Why do I feel a sense of familiarity with you, Madam? Have we met before?" She had never left Jinhua Town, let alone seen such a beautiful woman.
Jiang Fenghua said, "I don't know her. It's probably fate that brought us together. Sister Wang is a kind-hearted person. Good people are rewarded!"
Wang Xiuniang said, "Madam's words are not entirely correct. The world always makes things difficult for good people, and good people are not necessarily rewarded. But I believe that good and evil will eventually be rewarded."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Sister Wang is right. We are leaving Jinhua Town. This time we may never see each other again. Thank you for your hospitality, Sister Wang. Please stay here in peace. No one will bother you."
She stepped forward and hugged Wang Xiuniang, thinking to herself: Thank you, Granny Wang.
Wang Xiuniang was still a little embarrassed. Just now she was thinking of sending them away. She was a little at a loss when she was hugged by a strange girl. This feeling was like the reluctance to part when they were originally very close, and it was also like her child.
She didn't know why this feeling was popping into her head.
Jiang Fenghua knew this might be their last meeting. She shouldn't have disturbed Granny Wang's current life; at least she had family by her side, which was her greatest happiness.
Soon, Jiang Fenghua and her group left the Wu family. They also took Wang Buzhi with them. It is unknown what Wang Xiuniang said to him, but Wang Buzhi suddenly became very cooperative and honest.
With Wang Buzhi leading the way, the Shenyin Camp quietly destroyed many of Yan Dinghai's secret agents within the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Upon receiving news from various locations, Yan Jue immediately reported, "Father, our spies in different places have been attacked simultaneously."
Yan Dinghai was already in a bad mood, and seeing that his carefully cultivated spy had been destroyed, he angrily asked, "What exactly happened?"
Yan Jue said, "It must be because the exact location of the hidden stakes was leaked that they were able to find them so accurately."
Yan Dinghai cursed at him, "Go and find out who leaked the locations of the hidden agents. I will wipe out their entire family."
Yan Jue said, "Being able to know the location of the hidden agents so clearly can only mean that someone in the upper echelons is a spy. Someone reported that the spy should be the Si Ci Hall Master. His Qing Hall was the first to be investigated. I heard that he was captured alive by a mysterious person, and they even sent someone to deliver a message to my godfather."
"What message?"
"They sent a message to my godfather saying that Tianying has been gone for a long time." Yan Jue knew that Yan Dinghai had once been a secret guard of the Great Zhou royal family, codenamed Tianying, which meant that the people who attacked their molestation agents were probably from the Shenyin Camp.
The other party directly revealed their family background, clearly indicating that they were deliberately targeting Yan Dinghai.
Yan Dinghai's face turned green with rage, his knuckles clenched into fists, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "I didn't attack the Hidden God Camp, but they came to our door first."
Yan Dinghai never understood how the Hidden Camp could find the location of the spy so quickly, even though he hadn't returned to the Great Zhou for so many years and his spies in the Great Zhou hadn't been exposed and it was always his subordinates who were operating. Yan Dinghai was so angry that he wanted to tear Ge Ming to pieces.
“Godfather, the destruction of our hidden agents in Da Zhou means we’ve all been exposed. We should leave Da Zhou as soon as possible and return to Bei Xiao Kingdom.” Yan Jue’s priority was to save his own life. “The Shenyin Camp must be searching for us everywhere. If we stay here, aren’t we just going to die? Let’s take Xie Ling’er back to Bei Xiao Kingdom and force her to hand over the antidote for the Gu poison. I don’t believe she’ll be so stubborn.”
Yan Jue added, "She is a princess of the Great Zhou. With her in our hands, we can use her as a hostage and leave the Great Zhou as soon as possible."
Yan Dinghai sneered, "Given the speed at which the Hidden Guard can operate, they can find spies everywhere. Do you think they don't know our whereabouts?"
I pride myself on my intelligence, but I never imagined I would be defeated by a foolish prince. If Xiao Chuanyun hadn't insisted on coming with me to find the Empress of Great Zhou, I wouldn't be in such a dilemma.
"Ge Ming, Ge Ming, it's been over thirty years, don't you still want to let me go?"
