Chapter 246

~7 min read 1,285 words

The word "deal," coming from the mouth of an ordinary peasant woman, is a bit incongruous and a bit funny.

Jiang Li didn't stop his steps.

"It's about your mother!" Lou Shi shouted behind his back.

Jiang Li stopped this time.

He turned his head and looked at the inconspicuous woman, his expression stern, "You know my mother?"

Lou Shi climbed up from the ground and nodded, "Yes, not only do I know your mother, I also know her name, her identity, and where she came from."

Then the conversation changed, "However..."

However what, Jiang Li knew very well, he smiled, "You want to use this to threaten me, to let Yang Dian Feng go?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that."

Lou Shi explained eagerly, "I know, Feng'er really went too far this time, and he deserves his current fate, he deserves it. I just want to save his life, let him go to jail or be punished, as long as he doesn't go to the border, anything is fine."

Although Yang Dian Feng is not her biological son, the two have depended on each other for so many years and are already no different from biological mother and son.

She couldn't watch this stepson die.

In order to save him, she could only go all out.

As for what miserable ending she would have after the matter was exposed, she couldn't care less.

It's a pity that Jiang Li still didn't loosen his mouth, "Yang Dian Feng's punishment is decided by the official, I am just a head constable and cannot influence it."

"You can!" Lou Shi's eyes were full of hope, "You are the victim, as long as you don't pursue it, Feng'er's crime can be smaller, and he won't have to be exiled to the border so far away."

Going to the border, how is it different from death?

Jiang Li was silent for a moment.

He really wanted to know his mother's background.

This was also the knot that his mother couldn't let go of all those years, and even before she died, she was still thinking about it, afraid that she wouldn't find her relatives and ancestors below.

But thinking of Yang Dian Feng's actions, Jiang Li's eyes turned cold instantly.

If it weren't for his wife's hidden skills, she would have fallen into Yang Dian Feng's poisonous hands long ago. If his wife was gone, the family would be scattered, so what's the point of him living?

Jiang Li hooked his lips coldly.

"Since you know my mother, you should know my mother's character; if she knew that someone deliberately harmed her daughter-in-law, she wouldn't forgive him even if she became a ghost."

"As a son and a husband, if I easily spare Yang Dian Feng, I would be unfilial and unkind, and I would be sorry for both of them."

"So you can say or not say my mother's background, but Yang Dian Feng must die!"

After speaking, Jiang Li didn't talk nonsense and walked into the Ya Men.

"Head Constable Jiang, I beg you, Head Constable Jiang... Feng'er is not a bad person, he is also just a poor person... I beg you to spare him... Head Constable Jiang!" Lou Shi stumbled and rushed up, trying to hug Jiang Li's leg.

Wei Ming on the side immediately waved his water and fire stick to drive people away.

"This is a heavy place of the Ya Men, how can you make noise and act wild here? Get out, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

Lou Shi could only retreat to the distance and squat down to cry helplessly.

After a while, she wiped her tears and got up to walk toward the prison in the back.

The jailer at the door heard about her identity and didn't stop her.

According to the regulations, prisoners are allowed to see their families one last time before being exiled.

Yang Dian Feng was locked next to the water prison.

This is the worst environment in the whole prison except for the dark room.

The dignified constable who used to look after prisoners has now become a prisoner himself, which is not ironic.

"Feng'er!" Looking at the man curled up in the corner, haggard and unrecognizable, Lou Shi felt heartbroken.

Hearing this familiar voice, Yang Dian Feng's wooden face finally had a trace of ripples.

He struggled to crawl over, separated by an iron fence, and choked out, "Second Mother..."

Lou Shi's tears fell again.

"Why did it become like this? Why did you have to go against that Jiang Li?"

"How did Second Mother tell you back then, don't offend him, let alone harm him, stay far away from him, why didn't you listen!"

"Now that it's like this, what can I use to save you..."

Yang Dian Feng's face was ashen, "I'm sorry, Second Mother, it's my fault."

He was wrong to underestimate that Du Shi.

Didn't expect a woman who grew up in the countryside to be so evil.

And she knows how to use poison!

If he had known, he shouldn't have given Du Shi time to react, but should have cut the mess with a sharp knife and ended her with one knife.

And he wouldn't have ended up like this.

It's a pity that it's too late to regret.

"Second Mother, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know if I can come back alive."

"You have taken care of me for so long, and I promised to support you until the end, but now it seems I can't do it."

"Fortunately, I have saved some silver over the years, which is pressed under the old man's memorial tablet, you take it to support yourself, so I can leave with peace of mind."

Lou Shi finally burst into tears.

This sound attracted the jailer, who knocked on the fence with an iron rod, his tone unkind.

"What are you howling about? The person is not dead yet, and you are starting to cry for the funeral? If you want to cry, go out and cry, don't add bad luck here!"

"Zhang Xiao Mao!" Yang Dian Feng glared at the jailer fiercely, "Keep your mouth clean!"

The jailer sneered, "I won't, what can you do? If you have the ability, hit me, just like before, when you were in a bad mood, you took it out on us low-level jailers? Oh, you can't do it anymore, right? You deserve it."

"Heaven is clear, retribution is not refreshing, you have today too!"

Yang Dian Feng's fists clenched and creaked, as if he was about to jump up and hurt someone in the next moment.

Lou Shi hurriedly took out a small piece of broken silver from her bosom and stuffed it to the jailer, smiling flatteringly, "Official, be generous, don't be the same as him, I'll just say two more words and leave."

The jailer weighed the silver, "Just two words."

"Small man's success." Yang Dian Feng spat at his back.

Lou Shi sighed and comforted, "Feng'er, don't be afraid, it's not a dead end yet, Second Mother knows a noble person, as long as he is willing to take action, you will be fine."

Yang Dian Feng was puzzled, "Noble person?"

If there was such a powerful noble person, why did Lou Shi never mention it?

Just as he wanted to ask carefully, Lou Shi raised his hand to stop him, "Don't ask, I won't say even if you ask. Anyway, remember, don't be brave on this road, save your life, and before long, someone will come to save you."

Since Jiang Li's side doesn't work, then change to the other side.
