Chapter 269 Traitor
Chapter 269 Traitor
Shen Nanzhi believed that he was not lying, but that didn't mean she wouldn't punish him.
"Okay, let me ask you another question. How did you know our schedule? Don't lie. It's freezing and snowy. You can't just sit there and wait for us for several days. You'd be frozen like ice sticks.
If you dare to lie to me, I will immediately turn you into a popsicle."
The bandit leader's eyes flickered. When Shen Nanzhi was impatient and about to take action, he immediately said, "I said, I said, someone informed us in advance. It's not my fault. It's your own internal strife."
"How did you send the message?"
The bandit leader dared not remain silent. Now that things had come to this, he could die more quickly if he confessed directly. This girl was cruel and ruthless, and would cut people if they disagreed with her.
"We have a special kind of phosphorus powder. When we spread it at night, it will fall on the trees and can be seen clearly from a distance of 10 to 20 miles. So we saw your whereabouts in the mountains in advance and ambushed you."
This thing is very useful. It can detect the opponent's whereabouts more than ten miles in advance. It is better than a telescope.
Shen Nanzhi finished the interrogation and said, "Tie him up."
Then he checked the remaining people one by one. This Mrs. Gao was really something. Her subordinates betrayed her one by one. Her subordinates were like a sieve. She was really lucky to be alive.
Back in the carriage, Mrs. Gao became nervous at the look of disappointment in her eyes. "Miss Shen, is there something wrong with me?"
"You have a big problem. Your child was born into your family to experience disaster, right?"
Mrs. Gao was embarrassed. "Ms. Shen, please tell me what I did wrong. I will definitely correct it."
"I hope it's not too late for you to change now. These bandits have confessed. It was your people who betrayed our whereabouts and ambushed us in advance in order to catch you all in one fell swoop. Tell me, are you a failure as a person?"
Madam Gao's face turned pale instantly: "My people betrayed me?"
"Yes, you are so gullible and you have hurt yourself and your two children. If you hadn't been lucky enough to meet me, how many times would you have died?"
Madam Gao was so frightened that her body trembled. "Thank you, young lady. Fortunately, I met you. Aunt Liu will not betray me. She is my wet nurse and has taken care of me since I was a child. The only ones who can do this are the maidservants and Aunt Jiang. She was assigned to me by my mother-in-law..."
Madam Gao stopped talking, a chill flashing through her eyes. "It was Madam Jiang. I was forced to go out this time by my mother-in-law. She was sick, and she needed me to go to the Fayuan Temple, which is several hundred taels away, to burn incense and pray for blessings. If I didn't go, I would be unfilial. That's why I went out in such a cold weather."
Shen Nanzhi didn't know what to say to her, "The guards were also sent by your mother-in-law, right? Forget it, I don't want to say anything extra. Do you want to deal with it yourself, or do you want me to do it?"
Shen Nanzhi didn't care about Mrs. Gao's family affairs, but since they were colluding with bandits and wanted to kill them all, Shen Nanzhi couldn't just ignore it.
Madam Gao said, "Please, Miss Shen. My health is not convenient for me to come out. After I finish my confinement, I will settle all the old and new debts."
"Well, don't blame me for being cruel if someone dies."
"Those who betray their master deserve to die, but I can't quarrel with my mother-in-law right now. If I let them die, please make it an accident, Miss Shen."
"Okay, I'll satisfy your request."
Shen Nanzhi looked at the child. He was sleeping soundly. The red color he had when he was born had faded and gradually turned white. He was really super cute.
"This child is good looking, take good care of him."
"Thanks to your chicken soup, Miss Shen, my body has recovered quickly and my milk supply is sufficient. Only when the baby is well fed can he be well raised."
Mrs. Gao's face was filled with a loving mother's smile. The child was everything to her, and he was a boy, so she finally had someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
It’s not that she doesn’t like her daughter, she loves Zhao Jie’er very much, but as a married woman without a son, she will never be able to hold her head high in her husband’s family.
Shen Nanzhi didn't stay any longer and walked out and said, "Madame Liu, take your people to search for Madame Jiang's package."
Nanny Jiang's honest face showed fear, "No, what right do you have to search my package? You don't have the right to do so. I want to see the old lady. I belong to the old lady. Does she have a problem with me, or is she dissatisfied with her mother-in-law?"
Nanny Liu was a little hesitant, because she was sent by the old lady, so she had to give her some face. When she was at home, she often bullied him and made the lady's direct descendants dare not speak out.
Shen Nanzhi jumped down and slapped her in the face, "I don't care if you are an old lady or a young lady, if you dare to collude with the bandits to kill me, I will kill you.
I am not your wife, so why should I care about the mother-in-law or the elders? She didn’t give birth to me or raise me, so why should I be filial to her?
Do you think you owe her something by marrying her son?
I hate you old women the most. You keep talking about filial piety all the time. You think the younger generation needs to be filial to the elders because they are kind. If the elders are not kind, you expect the younger generation to be filial. How dare you be so shameless?
Aunt Liu, do you listen to her or me?"
Nanny Liu felt refreshed after hearing this. If their wives thought the same way, their lives wouldn't be like this.
"I listen to the girl."
Another maid named Xia He came over and said, "I will help Madam Jiang to search. I saw Madam Jiang sneaking out for a long time last night. She must be up to no good."
The two of them went to search together, and with the help of Shen Changan and others, Nanny Jiang tried to stop them but was pinned to the ground and unable to move.
Soon, a bag of white powder was found in her package. The evidence was irrefutable, and Nanny Jiang looked as pale as death.
Madam Liu was heartbroken and said, "Why? Why did you want to harm Madam? Madam is pregnant with the young master of the Jiang family?"
Nanny Jiang kept silent and decided to fight to the end.
Aunt Liu could do nothing but slap her hard a few times. Having stayed in the inner house for so many years, she was bound to do something even more cruel.
Shen Nanzhi sat on the shaft of the cart, watching coldly, and called the bandit leader over, "I want her to tell the whole truth, and you come to interrogate her.
If you do well, you will suffer less. If you do not do well, I will bury you in the snow first. I will not show mercy to you. "
Madam Liu's eyes sparkled. "Miss Shen is great. If she can't do anything herself, she can just find professionals. These bandits are inhumane and have killed people without hesitation. They will not be soft-hearted towards a woman."
Nanny Jiang finally changed her expression and cursed loudly: "You are such a vicious woman. Why do you interfere in other people's family affairs?"
"I am happy to do so. Why do you care? You'd better confess. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."
The bandit leader grinned and said, "Girl, it doesn't matter how many tricks you have, as long as they work. Strip her naked and throw her in the snow, and see if she will give in."
This is the way to deal with him. It would be easier if he used it to deal with Nanny Jiang.
"No, I'm telling you something. We're in the same group. You can't be disloyal!"
