A knife in love

Chapter 1588

After shopkeeper Dong pleaded guilty to the government, shopkeeper Hu and others did indeed spend money in the yamen.It's just that they spent money not to save shopkeeper Dong, but to bribe the presiding officials and try their best to get these officials to sentence shopkeeper Dong to death.

Shopkeeper Dong is also a ruthless and careful person, otherwise he wouldn't be mixed up with Shopkeeper Hu and others.After he entered the prison, he spent money like running water, but within a few days, he made friends with the officials in charge of the prison and the head of the prison. They called each other brothers and were very affectionate.These officials and cell bosses not only took good care of Treasurer Dong in the prison, but also sent clothes and food for him and inquired about news.When shopkeeper Dong heard that the Yamen had sentenced him to death, he panicked.At that time, he didn't know that shopkeeper Hu and others were going to kill him to silence him, and thought that they hadn't opened up their joints, so he hurriedly spent ten taels of silver and asked a cell leader to go to shopkeeper Hu and others, so that everyone could quickly find a way to kill him. get out.

Shopkeeper Hu listened to the cell boss relay the message from shopkeeper Dong, and then left the cell boss to drink and make him drunk.Taking advantage of this opportunity, shopkeeper Hu gathered the other five shopkeepers together, and said to everyone, if shopkeeper Dong turned around, the six of us would definitely die without a place to bury them.Although the yamen has sentenced shopkeeper Dong to death, but to behead him, he still has to wait for the approval of the Ministry of Punishment.It will take at least two or three months to come and go.Shopkeeper Dong is a cunning man with a wealth of wealth. If he spends a large sum of money to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and turn the case over, it will not be Shopkeeper Dong who will be beheaded, but the six of us.Everyone's ten thousand family wealth, such as flowers and beautiful family members, will inevitably belong to others.If this is the case, how can we be reconciled?

Shopkeeper Yin and the others were horrified when they heard Shopkeeper Hu's words, and they all threatened not to let Shopkeeper Dong leave the prison alive.Shopkeeper Hu saw that everyone wanted to kill Shopkeeper Dong, so he came up with an idea.He said that the prison boss is here with us right now, as long as we are willing to spend our money and let the prison boss kill shopkeeper Dong in the prison, we only need to report a "death of sudden illness" without waiting for the approval of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the serious troubles of our confidantes can be eliminated .

Shopkeeper Yin and the others naturally had no objection.So each of the six shopkeepers took out 200 taels of silver, and a total of 200 taels of silver was given to the prison boss.The six also agreed to give the prison boss another 800 taels of silver after the matter was completed.The head of the prison is only paid two or four taels of silver per month. Although he can blackmail the prisoner and accept benefits from the prisoner's family, he can still earn a few taels of silver every month, but with 200 taels of silver in front of him, he can't help but be moved.So the head of the prison fully agreed, and after returning to the prison, he found two confidantes and discussed how to kill shopkeeper Dong without anyone noticing.

That night, the cell leader pretended to tell shopkeeper Dong that after shopkeeper Hu and others knew the news, they immediately pooled up 1 taels of silver and sent people to the capital to deal with the criminal department and turn the case over.Shopkeeper Dong didn't know that the cell boss had discussed a plan with Shopkeeper Hu and others to take his life. He thought that Shopkeeper Hu and others were really running outside for him, so he finally felt relieved.The cell boss took the opportunity to ask someone to bring food and drinks, and wanted to have a drink with shopkeeper Dong.Shopkeeper Dong didn't know what it was, he drank very happily, and before he knew it, he was drunk.

Seeing that shopkeeper Dong was so drunk that he didn't know who he was, the cell boss immediately called two of his confidantes in, pressed a cloth bag full of dirt on Dong's body, and crushed him to death.The cell boss has done a lot of this kind of killing and murder. Shopkeeper Dong met this person, and it can be regarded as not cultivating in his previous life.

After the cell boss killed shopkeeper Dong, he reported a "severe illness and death" to the officials, and said that shopkeeper Dong was suffering from plague. If the body was left behind, the whole city's officials and people would suffer.The officials of the yamen got benefits from shopkeeper Hu and others, and they didn't care about shopkeeper Dong's death at all.Hearing that the head of the prison said that shopkeeper Dong died of plague, he ordered the body to be taken to a deserted place outside the city, burned to ashes, and buried several feet deep in the ground.Shopkeeper Dong, who was originally considered clever and witty, ended up with no bones left.

Shopkeeper Hu and the others felt relieved when they heard the news that Shopkeeper Dong had "died from a sudden illness", and they gave 800 taels of silver to the jailer.In order to make shopkeeper Dong stand out and kill Dong shopkeeper, shopkeeper Hu and other six people spent almost 5000 taels of silver.The six shopkeepers are all mercenary, and each spent two to three thousand taels of silver, how could they be willing?So the six of them had a secret discussion, and unexpectedly came up with another poisonous plan.

The six shopkeepers spent a lot of money to hire a scholar who was good at copying other people's handwriting. The scholar imitated Dong's handwriting and wrote more than 7 IOUs. The creditors were naturally shopkeeper Hu and other six people.Shopkeeper Hu and others knew the details of Shopkeeper Dong's family wealth, so the amount written on these IOUs was [-] to [-] taels of silver.After Xiucai wrote the IOU, shopkeeper Hu and others poisoned him to death with poisoned wine, tied stones to the body, and threw it into a big river.Afterwards, the six people took the IOUs to the shopkeeper Dong's house to press for debts, and almost took away all the Dong family's wealth, and the Dong family, which had been prosperous for a while, declined.

Shopkeeper Yin participated in the matter of framing shopkeeper Dong from the beginning to the end.Every time he thinks of shopkeeper Dong's miserable end, he will shudder in his heart.After this incident, shopkeeper Yin was wary of the other five people, for fear that one day he would end up in the same fate as shopkeeper Dong.Therefore, watching shopkeeper Hu, shopkeeper Bai and others hold back their energy and want to kill themselves, just like they killed shopkeeper Dong before.If these people succeed, not only will he die tragically, but the five wives and concubines in the family, as well as seven children, none of them will be spared.

Thinking of this, shopkeeper Yin was terrified, and hurriedly begged Xiao Dong for mercy.At that time, Xiao Dong already knew that shopkeeper Yin had not betrayed him, and the things he told Liu Sheng Zongyan were forced.Right now is the time to employ people, if shopkeeper Yin is killed, there will be one less helper.So Xiao Dong stopped shopkeeper Hu and saved shopkeeper Yin's life.But after this incident, shopkeeper Yin hated shopkeeper Hu, shopkeeper Bai and others to the bone, and became more and more jealous of these people, knowing that all of them had bad intentions.He secretly made up his mind that he had to be patient for the time being, not to be found by shopkeeper Hu and others as an excuse to kill him.Then he saw the timing and killed shopkeeper Hu and others one by one.

Just now shopkeeper Bai and Qin Laowu had an affair, and shopkeeper Yin simply couldn't wish for it.If Li Qiufeng and Xiao Dong were not present, he would have spoken out to provoke.Even so, when Zhang Shi, shopkeeper Hu and others stepped forward to stop Qin Laowu and shopkeeper Bai, shopkeeper Yin didn't say a word, just hid aside and watched the fun, wishing that Qin Laowu would beat shopkeeper Bai to death. Yixue the hatred in his heart.

Xiao Dong and shopkeeper Yin both had their own thoughts, and they didn't step forward to dissuade Qin Laowu and shopkeeper Bai.However, although the two did not speak, their minds were on everyone.Therefore, Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu were talking at the side, but Xiao Dong and shopkeeper Yin didn't even hear what they were talking about.
