The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 116: Daily epilepsy

At night, when it was quiet, four men in black came to the courtyard of the Jian family. They knocked the Jian family unconscious and looted all the property sent by Master Wen and the money of the Jian family.

At the same time, all the Wen family’s taverns and restaurants in Yanling Prefecture caught fire.

Young Master Wen received the news and rushed to the scene of the accident. On the way, he was put into a sack and beaten up. Both of his hands were broken and pills were stuffed in his mouth.

It was an uneventful night.

Before dawn, screams were heard from the Jian family, and the Wen family beat drums and filed a complaint with the government.

The Wen family’s two taverns and two restaurants were reduced to ruins, with huge property losses.

Wen Yuanxi was beaten so badly that his whole body was covered with wounds. He had his hands treated by a famous bone-setting doctor and there was a good chance that they would recover. But his mental state was very bad, and he looked like a madman. He would beat anyone he saw and smash anything he saw. His eyes were red, and he looked at people as if he wanted to eat them. He kept swearing, and his curses were smoother than those of a country woman.

Master Wen, who was tortured to death by the itching powder, had no choice but to ask his servants to tie up Master Wen.

The wrist bone that had just been fixed was dislocated again, and blood was dripping. The bone-setting doctor was so angry that he almost cursed. However, Wen Yuanxi seemed to feel no pain. Even though his hands and feet were tied, he still struggled desperately and cursed.

After struggling for half an hour, Wen Yuanxi seemed to suddenly wake up and return to normal.

Yan Xiuyuan personally took over the Wen family's case.

The Wen family was powerful in Shangjing, and the Lord of Yanling Prefecture could not afford to offend them. But the Wen family case was very strange. Because it happened around midnight, there were no witnesses, and no physical evidence was found at the crime scene, so there was no suspect to point to.

An hour later than the Wen family reported the case, You Meng and the others hired a carriage to go to the mansion for help. The carriage fare was Jian Xiaohe's private money.

Jian Dacheng and his wife were so angry that their eyes were about to burst and blood was gushing out of their noses. The abominable thief not only stole the property sent by the Wen family, but also stole their savings.

When the Yan family came to pick up Yan Xinning, they not only sent two boxes of cloth, jewelry and other supplements, but also gave her another two thousand taels of silver notes.

Jian Dacheng and his wife had always dreamed of living in the city, and they had never been willing to spend the two thousand taels of silver. They always seemed very stingy when spending money in front of the original owner, creating the illusion that their family was not wealthy.

After arriving in the city, most of the expenses were paid by Yan Xinning secretly, and the couple didn't want to use the two thousand taels. They only planned to use their savings when it was absolutely necessary. Who would have thought that their reluctance to spend money would benefit the thief.

The couple regretted it so much that they wanted to cut the thief who stole their house into pieces.

Yan Xinning was angry, resentful and irritated when she received the news. She had just been beaten by Xie Chujiao, and something happened to the Jian family again. And this time the matter was too big, she couldn't ignore it. She didn't even have time to eat breakfast, and went to the Jian family with Huamei and Huangli.

This was Yan Xinning's second visit to the Jian family. Seeing the three members of the Jian family lying in bed with broken legs, and the maids and servants looking weak and sleepy, Yan Xinning felt a chill in her heart. At the same time, she also felt an inexplicable panic.

She immediately sent Huamei to invite Doctor Qi to come over, and also asked Huamei to invite a few more famous doctors to come and see the patient.

Doctor Qi had a psychological trauma towards the Jian family, but he was curious about their illness, so he came after hesitating for a moment.

Several famous doctors took turns to examine the patient, and they could not find any other problems except the leg injury.

The frustration of knowing that one is sick but not knowing where the disease lies has deeply shocked several famous doctors.

They couldn't get rid of the itching powder yesterday, and they still couldn't figure out the drowsiness and weakness problem today, which made them deeply realize that there are always people better than you.

Yan Xinning was unwilling to give up and asked Huamei to invite Imperial Physician Sun. Imperial Physician Sun asked about the patient's symptoms and other doctors' consultations, then simply declined to come.

Yan Xinning had no choice but to send someone to the county government to report the case.

The news that the Jian family forced their daughter to be a concubine had already spread. When the theft this morning spread, the neighbors in Qingshui Hutong said that the Jian family was unkind and suffered retribution.

Since the Jian family came to Qingshui Hutong, they have had little contact with their neighbors and have a bad relationship with them. When they first came, the neighbors gave gifts to curry favor with them, hoping to get in touch with the people in the Mansion through the Jian family. As a result, the Jian family encountered troubles one after another, and no one from the Mansion showed up. The neighbors felt that their gifts were wasted. They had a lot of opinions about the Jian family, and they would definitely belittle and criticize them whenever they had the chance.

Through the "enthusiastic" publicity of the people in Qingshui Hutong, the news of the Jian family's broken leg and theft became a hot topic.

Magistrate He hates taking on the Jian family's cases the most. Because all the cases involving the Jian family are unsolved. There are still a few cases that have no clues and cannot be closed! But he can't help but take them, which is really annoying.

The clerk took notes. Magistrate He sent runners to the Jian family to check the scene.

Very good! How can I check if there is not even a footprint?

County Magistrate He was very depressed.

Jian Yue, the instigator, looked at the banknotes, cloth and jewelry on the table and grinned. But when she saw the two thousand taels of banknotes wrapped in layers of oil paper, her brows suddenly turned cold.

The Qian family had always enslaved the original owner on the grounds that the family had no money. Who would have thought that the Jian family had been hiding a huge sum of money.

The original owner had a vague impression of this huge sum of money, as if it was a thank-you gift from the Yan family when they took Yan Xinning back home. It should also be said to be a severance fee.

Yan Xiuyuan probably didn't expect that he wanted to break up with the Jian family that had raised his daughter for several years, but Yan Xinning didn't want to. She even wanted to pull the Jian family up to become her helper.

After Jian Yue came back yesterday, the shopkeeper came to tell her that the master wanted to teach Master Wen a lesson, so Jian Yue gave him a bottle of poison pills. The theft in the Jian family was done by Jian Yue's Fu Wu and others.

The Jian family keeps making trouble without any bottom line. To put it bluntly, they have no worries about food and drink. If they have no food to eat, do you think they still have the energy to make trouble?

At noon, Master Wen suddenly went crazy again. With the experience of the morning, the servants quickly tied him up. It was as if he was on time, and he went crazy for half an hour before returning to normal.

The most shameful side of Master Wen, who had just returned to normal, was seen by his servants. He had no place to vent his shame and anger, so he had the guards take away all the servants who had tied him up and deal with them, and then replaced them with a new group of servants.

The letter asking for help had been sent out this morning. Shangjing was only two days away from Yanling Prefecture. If I rode as fast as I could without stopping, my family would arrive tomorrow night.

Although there was no evidence, Second Master Wen and First Master Wen knew that the fire in the restaurant and the poisoning in the attack were all related to Jian Yue. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the Wen family's property and people were in trouble just after a conflict with her the day before.

Of course, neither the eldest son of Wen nor the second son of Wen believed that a country girl had the ability to compete with the Wen family...
