In Tianxiang city, Zhao Dafei just walked out of a gambling house, passed by a stall. Two men unfolded a scroll and showed to the stall owner, asking, "You ever saw this man?" The owner took a glance.

Since the Zhaos were driven out of the Wang village, he had stolen all the money in his house and went to the city. At the beginning, he had been a waiter at Yingkexuan, but soon it was closed, so, with no other better choices, he began to gang up with several homeless men to swindle around.

The stall owner shook his head, saying no, and went back to his own business. Zhao Dafei became complacent. Just now he had lost all his money in the gambling house and worried how to win back, when cash came to him.

Wasn't the man on the scroll Mr. Ning? He would be rich!

He walked faster to catch up with the two men and whispered to them, "I've seen the man on the scroll."

The two men exchanged a look, stopped and looked back, asking in a cold voice, "Where is he?"

Zhao Dafei made a gesture suggesting that money was required, "Why should I tell you?"

One of the men reached into his pocket and threw ten taels of silver to him, "Now tell us."

Catching the silver piece and taking a bite to make sure it was real, Zhao Dafei spread a grin at once, "This man is surnamed Ning; he is a village school teacher at a village not far from the city..."

The two men were eager, "Take us to find him."

The two men seemed stupid but generous since they had easily given him so much money, so certainly Zhao Dafei intended to take the opportunity and ask for more. He put the silver into his pocket and repeated the same movement.

The man sneered and threw another piece of silver at him, "Take it, and lead the way."

On the way, Zhao Dafei told them everything he knew word by word.

In a short while, the three of them reached the periphery of the Wang village. The two men looked at each other, nodded, drew out the sword they carried and ended Zhao Dafei's life in a blink. With a sneer, they took out the silver in his pocket and threw his corpse in the mountain right away, which even saved the money for holding a funeral.

Afterwards, the two men hid themselves in the forest and released a pigeon.

Soon, a woman on a steed galloped over, got off at the entrance of the Wang village and walked the horse, asked the way from a village who passed by, and directly reached the Ning's.

Tomorrow it would be the wedding between Jian Qingyou and Xin Yiming. There was a reason why the dates of their engagement and wedding were so near.

On the engagement party of Jian Qingyou, the seventh lady Jian Qingzhen committed adultery with a servant boy. This incident was handled personally by old madam Jian. The second madam and the seventh young lady were instantly sent out of the mansion to a temple on that day, claiming to let them pray in the temple for the Jian family. In fact, they were driven out of the family and prisoned in the temple forever.

Although other witnesses were offered with benefits to keep the secret, there were still people discussing the incident on the back.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the fifth young lady Jian were found to secretly date in the peach forest with the most notorious dandy in the city.

That dude was notorious in the city for having taken numerous sexual partners before getting married, including young boys. No nice lady from a moral family would like to marry him.
