Chapter 766 [Under the Brocade 62]
Shangguan Xi saw this and stepped forward without hesitation. She said in a solemn and loud voice, "This matter must be reported to the authorities! Please ask the coroner to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy to set the record straight. Verbal arguments alone will not convince the public. The truth needs to be revealed through facts."
However, the woman became agitated after hearing this, and refused to open the coffin for an autopsy. She was seen slumped on the ground, slapping the ground with her hands, crying and shouting, and her miserable cries echoed at the door of Wu'an Gang.
At the same time, two figures suddenly started to push and shove in the crowd, deliberately creating chaos. While everyone's attention was distracted, they quickly took the mother and child away from the scene.
Shangguan Xi was extremely anxious when she saw this, and immediately ran after him. However, when she was halfway there, several mysterious people wearing bamboo hats suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road and blocked her way.
These people were tall, holding weapons, and exuding a frightening aura. Shangguan Xi was shocked and thought to himself, "Who are these people? Why are they here?"
After a brief fight, Shangguan Xi discovered that these people were actually Dong Qisheng's men. Dong Qisheng had now surrendered to the leader Mao and came to Hangzhou under his orders.
Their purpose this time is not just to frame the Wuan Gang, but more importantly to capture Yuan Jinxia for the young master of the Mao family.
On the other hand, after Lu Yi learned that the Wu'an Gang was framed, he was not worried at all. Instead, he laughed with interest.
He thought to himself: "These pirates have finally given up and revealed their true colors. This way, our trip to Hangzhou is not completely clueless."
At this time, Yan Shifan also rushed to Hangzhou. He had two main purposes for this trip. One was to try every means to prevent Lu Yi from investigating the case; the other was to bring his willful sister back to the capital.
At this moment, Yuan Jinxia and Yang Yue were strolling leisurely on the bustling streets of Hangzhou. As they walked, their eyes were attracted by a magnificent mansion not far ahead.
This mansion is magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings, and it is obvious at first glance that it is the residence of a wealthy family.
Yuan Jinxia was suddenly curious and grabbed a passing vendor and asked, "Hey, young man, whose mansion is that in front? It looks so grand!"
The vendor said mysteriously, "Do you know this Sima Mansion? It is the most prominent merchant family in Hangzhou! The annual hairpin exhibition is personally organized by the wealthy Sima boss."
At this point, the vendor couldn't help but lower his voice, a look of regret on his face, "However, speaking of the marriage of this boss Sima, it is really a pity! I heard that he was born with an extremely ugly appearance, and he always wears a mask on weekdays, so that no one has ever seen his true face. What's more unfortunate is that in just three years, he married two wives one after another. However, without exception, these two wives met with accidents and died unexpectedly. It's really pitiful and sad!"
After the vendor finished telling the story in one breath, he immediately turned around and, with a big smile on his face, tried his best to sell his hairpins to Yuan Jinxia and Yang Yue. He held a number of exquisite hairpins in his hands, and he kept praising their materials, craftsmanship, and styles.
Yuan Jinxia didn't seem to be very interested in these hairpins, she just glanced at them casually and then stopped paying attention. However, Yang Yue, who was standing next to her, was attracted by one of the hairpins and took it in his hand to examine it carefully.
The vendor was delighted to see Yang Yue liked the hairpin so much, and quickly said, "Sir, you have a good eye! This hairpin is made of top-grade jade, and the carving is exquisite. It is definitely a rare and fine product. You only need two taels of silver to take it home and give it to the person you like!"
When Yuan Jinxia heard the price, she was about to bargain with the vendor, but before she could say anything, Yang Yue took out the only two taels of silver he had from his pocket and handed it to the vendor without hesitation, and happily put the hairpin in his pocket.
Yuan Jinxia looked at Yang Yue's straightforward behavior and shook her head helplessly, muttering to herself, "This idiot didn't even bother to negotiate the price and just spent all his belongings so easily."
