His Peasant Wife: Yao Ling [Part 1]

Chapter 73: The Report 2

"Xiao Yu's little brother --- Qiao Qiao was alone when this servant went into the room. However, when this servant tried to save him, there was a sound in front of the room. Qiao Qiao was bound with a rope, so he couldn't talk, but he was clever enough to shake his head. He looked at the door just to tell this servant that it was the captor that was coming. This servant quickly hid and jumped up to the roof beam. The captor didn't come in alone but with a few people." Feng explained.

"Did you find out anything important from their conversation?" Yao Ying asked.

"Yes, Young Master. They said that they needed to find out about Liu Li's condition. If she was crippled by the flogging, then they should discard her because she was already useless chess piece. If she was dead, then it was even better. Dead people couldn't talk."

"Hah! So, they want to remove their sole witness, huh?" Yao Ying said in anger.

She was actually feeling pity toward Liu Li, after all, she was following a heartless master.

All of them couldn't fathom the cruelty of those people, after all, Liu Li was working under their master's order. "Did they say something about the master's identity? I know that they wouldn't specifically say the name, but anything is fine... remember what they said slowly and tell me something that probably could become our clue."

Feng pondered for a little while, trying to remember every detail of the captors' conversations.

Bits and pieces of the conversations came into his mind.

Feng excitedly said, "This servant remember something!"

Xiu looked at him in expectation and nudged Feng, "Quickly! Tell us!" He was so curious about the master behind those crazy people, especially because the master was the mastermind behind Xiao Yu's pain.

He wished to tear apart that heinous person.

Feng nodded and finally told them what he remembered. "It seemed like the master is a woman because one of the men had the expression of being infatuated to the master's beauty and they jokingly compared it to Liu Li. It seemed like by their lecherous opinions, they didn't really respect the master."

"Hmm... It seems like there's another person behind the female master and these people are given to her, that's why she doesn't have their loyalty or respect. Or one other possibility, she hired those thugs just for a one-time purpose only." Yao Ying rubbed his chin, thinking.

This was indeed a piece of interesting news.

"Other than that? What else?" Yao Ying asked once again.

He needed to know more details to determine more conclusions.

"This servant thinks the female master is currently living in Wang Fu," Feng said confidently.

"How so?" Yao Ling asked, feeling interested in Feng's conclusion.

"Because they said the usual messenger was Liu Li, but once Liu Li was unavailable. The one who came was another person from Wang Fu. However, it seems like the new messenger is a woman who is still new in doing this kind of things. They made a comment how that messenger was shaking in fear when saw them." Feng said confidently.

One of the men even lecherously said that another pretty woman was coming to their way.

It seemed like they treated women like some kind of dirt and only as their plaything.

"Did they say the name of the messenger?"

"Sadly, no," Feng answered dejectedly. "If we know who the messenger is, it will be easier for us to find out about the identity of their female master."
