SFS Chapter 494 Filled with Indignation
Chapter 494 Filled with Indignation
Since the fourth sister wants to know the favor, Lei Nian'er doesn't mind helping out a little. It's just a little troublesome at most.
She helped the fourth lady up and said, "I'll do my best."
The people sent by Lei Nian'er, however, fell into oblivion and all the news they received was that they were missing.
The trace of the cousin from the Song family was wiped out completely, not even a trace could be found.
Lei Nian'er pondered. Logically speaking, even if there really was an accident, there should be clues.
Unless someone erased it.
What a powerful force that even she couldn't find any clues.
Why target an ordinary female scholar?
Her greatest identity is just a relative of the Lei family.
What threat could this pose to her?
Lei Nian'er frowned, having thought it was a trivial matter, but unexpectedly it was quite tricky.
At this point, Lei Nian'er didn't want to give up and continued to investigate.
And the worried cousin Song was gritting her teeth in the mine camp.
What evil has she done!
I was just running errands to buy an iron pot for my family, and I found a store that had poor workmanship but a cheap price.
Upon further investigation, we found that the other party was a private ironware company.
As a scholar, she certainly knew that this was not good for the national treasury and was not conducive to the court, and that private ownership of ironware was a crime.
He reported the matter, thinking that by showing off in front of the government, he would be more easily appreciated after passing the imperial examination.
As a result, not long after, she was knocked unconscious in her sleep and taken away to this godforsaken place.
When I woke up, I thought I was involved in some terrible conspiracy. I was about to die because I had reported someone and ruined their business.
As a result, she was locked up and forced to work in a mine.
They were even kind enough to give the choice: either mine, keep accounts, or die.
Cousin Song: “…”
That's really kind of you~
As a delicate and weak scholar, she of course chose to sit in the house and record~
In fact, the treatment here is quite good. She gets paid every month, which is much more than what she could earn in the city by working as an accountant or a copyist.
There is meat for food and drink every day.
She wouldn't even dare to do this at home!
My aunt would send money for help, but there is still a whole family to support!
It would be nice if everyone could take a sip of the broth and dip it in some minced meat.
Apart from the frustration of being forced to work and the restricted freedom of going out, Cousin Song had no reluctance.
But she couldn't even write home to report her safety.
With such strict security, Cousin Song guessed that this iron mine was not mined by the government.
There was nothing she could do if she didn't want to get on the pirate ship. She could only live one day at a time. She didn't know how worried her family was about her.
On the other side, Lei Nian'er, who was tracking down the whereabouts of cousin Song, felt increasingly solemn.
She expanded the search and found several families throughout Pingzhou whose members had recently disappeared, and like her cousin Song, they could not be found.
What kind of conspiracy is this to kill so many innocent people!
As Lei Ning's daughter, Lei Nian'er has some similarities with him.
For example, this sense of justice.
After learning that a group of unarmed civilians met with misfortune because of the selfishness of some people, Lei Nian'er's disgust for the people behind the scenes reached its peak.
There seemed to be anger burning in his eyes.
There are such rebellious villains in this world! They are so vicious! They don't take the laws of Dai Viet seriously at all!
If the person behind the scenes was in front of her, she would want to draw her sword on the spot to eliminate the evildoer!
Lei Nian'er continued to investigate, and the evidence seemed to point to King Qin's party.
In fact, there is no special evidence. It’s just that an important official under the King of Qin passed through Pingzhou and stayed there temporarily a few days ago.
For example, the small actions of the Qin Wang Party and the promotion and transfer of officials are closely related to Pingzhou.
There is no clear evidence, only some specious indications.
But people all felt that it was the Qin Wang party who was behind this.
Lei Nian'er believed that she was not capable of doing it alone, and that with their combined efforts, they would be able to find definite evidence.
She hesitated and asked Bei Jingchu for help: "Actually, this is my personal matter."
"You are already in a troubled time right now. If you find it inconvenient, don't help me."
"It would be bad if I delayed your important event because of such a small matter as mine."
Bei Jingchu smiled and said with an ambiguous meaning: "I am having a private meeting with Commander Jiang in Jialan Courtyard now. What's the big deal?"
Lei Nian'er shrugged nonchalantly, "I understand you're in a bad mood, playing with men can make you happy, I'm fine with being a little tired."
Bei Jingchu: “…” Thank you for your understanding, you are indeed a good sister.
However, she now has to maintain her love-brained persona.
Then he frowned and said seriously, "Nian'er, Ah Shou is the husband I have chosen, please don't insult him with your words."
