Reverend Insanity

Chapter 116: Stealing Shoes (Part 2)

These old slaves were all old, and Fei Cai looked crazy like he was breaking jars and smashing them. For a while, they had no choice but to surround Fei Cai, not daring to come forward. M

Fei Cai glared angrily and kicked away the old slave in front of him: "You're a dirty thing. I'm going to meet the young patriarch, so don't stand in my way."

The old slaves were filled with shame and anger, with vicious and cunning lights flashing in their eyes, but they did not dare to step forward.

They could already see that Fei Cai's chest was bulging. Many people sneered in their hearts with disdain: "This silly boy really dares to steal! Even if he stole the shoes, he stole the shoes of the young patriarch. Hahaha, what bad luck. I wanted to move him down, but Let him clean the latrine. As a result, he may be dead now. He deserves it! Is it so easy to be the young patriarch's personal servant? "

Fei Cai was semi-surrounded by the old slaves and walked towards the young patriarch's tent.

The two Gu masters guarding the camp looked at Fei Cai as if they were looking at a dead person.

Ma Yingjie stood at the door of the camp, his face as dark as water. He was tired from his official duties and wanted to go out for a walk, but found that his shoes were gone.

He called his personal old slave, who told him that it was most likely stolen by the new young slave and probably sold for money. The old slave told Ma Yingjie that this was not Fei Cai's first time stealing.

Ma Yingjie was naturally furious. He didn't expect that his moment of kindness would end up attracting a thief for him.

Fei Cai was uneasy and panic had already filled his heart, but he kept in mind what Zhao Lianyun told him and came to Ma Yingjie with his head raised and his chest high, acting majestic and high-spirited.

Ma Yingjie looked at him. I was secretly amazed in my heart.

The old slaves who escorted Fei Cai followed behind Fei Cai. Instead, they seemed to be surrounding him. More importantly, Fei Cai didn't panic at all. Didn't he steal it?

Unconsciously, part of the anger in Ma Yingjie's heart was replaced by curiosity and doubt.

"I pay my respects to the Young Patriarch." Fei Cai knelt on the ground with a loud voice.

Ma Yingjie looked down at Fei Cai at his feet and shouted displeasedly: "Did you steal my shoes?"

"The villain has never stolen your shoes. Even if you give the villain a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare to do it." Fei Cai denied it.

"He is lying. His arms are bulging, and he is carrying something. You can tell at a glance!" Behind him,

Immediately an old slave shouted.

Fei Cai snorted coldly and opened his clothes, revealing a ball of snow-white high-grade silk.

He carefully took out the silk and slowly opened it. Show the shoes underneath.

When Ma Yingjie saw that the shoes were exactly the ones he was wearing, he couldn't help but sneered: "Okay, very good. Here's the evidence. It's rare for a thief to be as confident as you."

"Young Patriarch, please be wise." Fei Cai did not refute, but held the shoes with both hands, put them on the ground with a respectful look, then put his forehead to the ground, as if he was resigned to being punished.

"Young Patriarch. The evidence is conclusive. Please punish this hateful bitch severely!"

"Yes. He actually dared to steal the young patriarch's shoes. In the future, he will steal more things."

"His hands and feet are so unclean. If you look at it, I might as well chop off his hands!"

The old slaves spoke one after another, and the content was vicious and cruel. Fei Cai's heart trembled when he heard it, but he kept Zhao Lianyun's words in mind and did not make any rebuttal.

This situation made Ma Yingjie a little interested.

Executing a slave is nothing. But Ma Yingjie has always flaunted himself as "wise and benevolent" and restrained himself, hoping that he could take over the family and become a wise leader in the future.

Especially now, as the Ma family is the leader of the army, every move they make is watched. Would it be considered cruel to rashly execute a slave for something as trivial as stealing a shoe?

Ma Yingjie also had these concerns.

A good reputation is easy to create but difficult to maintain.

So he asked: "I always deal with justice, Fei Cai, I will give you a chance to defend yourself."

Fei Cai breathed a sigh of relief. He followed Zhao Lianyun's instructions and really waited for Ma Yingjie's words. This gave him great confidence, and he immediately decided secretly to answer everything as Zhao Lianyun ordered.

So he replied: "My father died due to internal fighting in the family. The young patriarch attacked the Fei family to avenge the villain for killing his father. The young patriarch is so wise and kind, how can the villain do anything to repay kindness with enmity? Woolen cloth?"

When Ma Yingjie heard the words "wise and benevolent", his mood suddenly improved significantly. He asked warmly: "Oh? Then do you have anything to hide?"

But Fei Cai shook his head: "There is no hidden secret. I just want to repay you, the young patriarch. But what can the villain do? I am just a mortal, and I can't fight for you, the young patriarch. The villain is too stupid to do anything for you. Young Patriarch, please give me advice. I am just your personal servant. I can only wash the shoes and put them away. I put myself in your shoes and think about it. Young Patriarch, if you put these shoes outside for so long, won’t your feet feel cold? ? So the villain used all his savings to buy this piece of real silk, wrap the young patriarch's shoes, and hold them on his chest. In this way, young patriarch, you won't feel cold when you put on these shoes."

"Oh? That's it!" Ma Yingjie was shocked when he heard this.

He has a mysophobia, and he would be disgusted if Fei Cai directly put the shoes in his arms.

But it's different when it's wrapped in silk.

And this piece of fine silk is genuine. No one would use such fabric to wrap shoes, right?

"This Fei Cai is a good slave, and he really has his heart." Ma Yingjie's thoughts suddenly changed, and his eyes towards Fei Cai quietly changed.

If what Fei Cai said is true, then his loyalty is so obvious, which is really touching!

At this time, Fei Cai kowtowed violently: "Young patriarch, I am guilty!"

"Oh? What's your crime?" Ma Yingjie looked at Fei Cai with an obvious smile on his lips.

Fei Cai replied: "I only care about warming the shoes of the young patriarch, but I forget that if you want to go out, it will be very inconvenient. The villain is guilty, please punish me!"

Ma Yingjie let out a long sigh: "I have more than one pair of shoes. Today I just saw that the pair I usually wear is missing, so I called you over. Fortunately, I almost mistakenly blamed one of my loyal servants."

"Young Patriarch, you can't just listen to his words!"

"Young Patriarch, this boy is deceiving the public with his lies, has many tricks, and is very smooth-talking!!"

The old slaves behind them all screamed in panic when they saw that Fei Cai, who was usually dull and stupid, was so eloquent that he suddenly turned over under their noses.

At this time, Fei Cai said again: "Please tell me, Young Patriarch! It is true that stealing shoes has happened, but the villain has never done it. On the contrary, these old slaves behind the villain have done it many times. The villain has taken the responsibility After taking this position, these old slaves hinted at the villain many times, so they became jealous of the villain. The villain is not afraid of investigation or punishment. I beg the young patriarch to send someone to investigate and clear the villain's name!"

Of course Fei Cai is not afraid of investigation. This is his first time stealing shoes!

According to what the old slaves "accidentally" said in his ears, he stole a pair of the most exquisite shoes so that he could sell them at a high price.

Fei Cai was ignorant. He had been following the young patriarch for so long, and he didn't pay attention to the appearance of the shoes on the young patriarch's feet, so he easily fell into the plot of the old slaves.

Fortunately, he met the key people at the critical moment. Zhao Lianyun became his savior. Under her guidance, Fei Cai successfully turned the tables and turned the corner.

When the old slaves heard that they were going to investigate, their faces all changed and they were as pale as paper.

The Gu Master's methods are naturally rich and colorful. It is naturally easy to thoroughly investigate such a trivial matter.

These old slaves were already regretting it to death. They didn't expect that they would be involved in it in the end!

Ma Yingjie looked at the changes in the expressions of the old slaves and was already seventy-eight percent convinced of Fei Cai. But since he aspires to be a "wise master", he will naturally not issue orders rashly based on what he thinks in his heart.

Immediately, he called the reconnaissance Gu Master and ordered him to investigate the matter.

The reconnaissance Gu Master received Ma Yingjie's personal order, so he naturally put all his energy into investigating. It only took a cup of tea and everything came to light.

Faced with the facts, the old slaves all knelt on the ground, crying and wailing, fearful as chaff, and begging the young patriarch for forgiveness.

Ma Yingjie snorted coldly: "You slaves, you flatter your superiors and bully your subordinates, how dare you deceive me! Originally, you should be executed one by one according to your crime, but considering that you have served me for many years, and some of them were even mine when I was a child. Just accompany the people around you. I will spare your dog lives and send them all to my supply camp to serve my army. Clean up excrement and sweep latrines!"

"Thank you, Young Patriarch, for not killing me. Thank you, Young Patriarch, for not killing me!" The old slaves kowtowed like garlic, expressing their gratitude.

"As for you..." Ma Yingjie cast his eyes on Fei Cai and smiled jokingly, "You actually dare to steal my young master's shoes, how brave you are! From now on, you will be assigned as the slave chief, so that you can serve me well. Lord, so that you can pay for your sins and make meritorious deeds!”

Fei Cai was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to realize that Ma Yingjie said he was being assigned, but in fact he was being promoted.

He quickly kowtowed in thanks.

Ma Yingjie laughed, waved his hand and said, "Okay, get out of here and think of a good way to serve me, the young patriarch!"

"Yes, sir." Fei Cai stepped back and walked back, looking dazed for a while.

It took him a long time to wake up. He was actually a blessing in disguise this time and became a slave leader!

"I have to thank Miss Xiaoyun for all this... Ah, by the way, Miss Xiaoyun told me to report to her as soon as possible if nothing happens." Fei Cai patted his head, quickly changed direction, and walked towards the secret place agreed upon. .

"What, you actually became the slave chief?" When Zhao Lianyun heard the news, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Fei Cai in surprise.

She thought to herself that although this arrangement was clever, it was also risky. It all depended on Ma Yingjie's mood.

If Ma Yingjie was in a bad mood, all he had to do was issue an execution order and Feicai would be dead. But obviously, this big idiot was lucky. Not only was he fine, but he also served as the slave leader. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (qn) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
