20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 213
Xiaoxiguan, Juxiang Building.

Holding the lamp into the night, the new moon has no light.

Under the premise that the patrol station deliberately spread the news, the news of the Bai family's accident soon spread wildly on the street.

There were still those familiar faces at the wine table, but Bai Yuqing was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Xiaodao raised his wine glass and said with regret, "Everyone, everyone must already know about the matter of the Bai family's young aunt and grandma."

Everyone nodded slightly and whispered to each other, and some even showed expressions of regret.

"Alas! This really fits the saying. If a family has a great business, nine out of ten of them will be the unworthy descendants of their own family!"

Many people here already knew that the Bai family was suffering from internal and external troubles, but they didn't expect that those aunts and concubines would poison the young aunt and grandma in order to fight for power and profit.

Of course, there are smart people here who feel that there is something strange about this matter that cannot be explained, but after all, there is no evidence and it can only be regarded as a wild guess. At the same time, precisely because of their cleverness, they are more inclined to keep silent.

Jiang Xiaodao followed the prepared words and continued: "I am a junior in the Taoist community. Thanks to Brother Su and the Bai family's young aunt and grandma, I have the opportunity to drink with everyone here. From this point of view, the young aunt and grandma also She has helped me, and I will always remember her kindness in my heart. I am lucky to have dealt with such a heroic woman in my lifetime! Come on, let’s toast to my young lady!”

The dead are great.

Everyone stood up with a roar, raised their glasses and poured wine.

"Young aunt and grandma, have a good trip!"

…………

Jiangzhai in the north of the city.

Li Zheng and other bearded men were gathering in the side room, wiping the blade with a whetstone and laughing with each other.

After briefly polishing it twice, everyone took out the felt cloth, dipped it in spirits, and carefully wiped the blade.

It was so cold outside that even the knives became brittle. Several of them were experienced and equipped with a broadsword and a dagger each.

The door opened and Zhao Guoyan walked in.

"Brothers, get ready. It's almost time. All the female members of the Bai family should have gone back by now."

"Hey, brother!" Li Zheng waved to him with a mischievous smile, and asked, "Is that bitch who was so cool and good at pretending to be still there?"

Zhao Guoyan knew that the other party was talking about Bai Yuqing, so he shook his head and said, "She is dead."

Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Oh! What a pity, what a pity! Brother, to tell you the truth, this is what I like, brother, I love to increase the strength of those leading ladies, Even though they usually act fake, they are actually sluts, hahaha!"

He couldn't explain why he fell in love with those middle-aged ladies from wealthy families.

But since Li Zheng got a beard, he has never tired of it.

What is certain is that the fear and begging from the superior gave his dignity great satisfaction.

Zhao Guoyan suggested: "If you like this, as far as I know, there is an old lady in the Bai family. She should be less than seventy. She can be regarded as the mistress of the family."

"No need!" Li Zheng interrupted quickly, "It's getting late, let's set off quickly. By the way, I still have five brothers in the south of the city. If there is such a good thing, I have to call them."

"Don't worry, Han Xinyuan is on the way with them."

"That's good!" Li Zheng raised his sword and shouted to the brothers behind him, "Brothers, open your doors and smash the kiln!"

The new moon was in the sky, and the moonlight outside the house was so thick that even the light of the sword was wrapped in darkness.

…………

In the private room of "Juxiang Tower", the banquet has not yet dispersed.

Jiang Xiaodao played with the wine cup in his hand, wondering: "Seniors, you are all great masters in the world. As soon as this happened, I was really blinded and had no clue at all. So, I specifically want to ask everyone, do you have any No one knows why those concubines poisoned the young aunt and grandma?"

Someone in the seat didn't know whether he was really confused or pretending to be confused, so he continued: "Hey! Do you even need to think about this kind of thing? Nine out of ten, it must be just for money!"

"oops!"

Jiang Xiaodao trembled, and the wine cup in his hand suddenly fell on the table.

"Everyone, to be honest, when I made peace with my young aunt, I did accept a small amount of money from her. Isn't it because those aunts harmed my young aunt because of this?"

Jiang Xiaodao glanced at his two uncles as he spoke.

Guan Wei lowered his head and kept wiping his forehead with his palms. He didn't know whether he was sleepy or drunk.

Gong Baonan just focused on eating and seemed not to hear.

Of course, the two of them didn't suddenly realize that they had done a lot of dirty work over the years.

However, after all, it was Zhou Yunfu's arrangement in the past. They only had to hide in the shadows and did not need to come to the stage to talk unconscionable nonsense. Even they could not convince themselves.

Moreover, as opponents, Lao Liu and Lao Qi really respected the young aunt of the Bai family.

It doesn't matter if you don't accept peace talks and eradicate the roots, but if you make peace on the surface and poison the other party secretly, it's really a bit of a shame.

There was no choice but to praise those who should be praised. Jiang Xiaodao had no choice but to continue: "Don't blame me for being too worried. You guys are saying, could it be those concubines who object to my young aunt making peace with me?"

See you in the picture!

At the beginning, the premise for the two families to make peace was that the young aunt and grandma were the masters of the family.

Now that Bai Yuqing is dead, the previous oaths and promises have no basis for their survival.

This kind of rhetoric sounds ridiculous, but morally speaking, it is indeed defensible.

Just like "Qingjun Side", everyone knew it well, but it was moved out again and again.

However, just when everyone thought that Jiang Xiaodao was about to break his promise and start another war against the Bai family, he suddenly changed the subject.

"However, for the sake of my friendship with my young aunt, and to repay her support, I am still willing to fulfill my previous promise, provided that the Bai family will move out of Fengtian as soon as possible after the new year."

Someone immediately flattered him and said, "Young Master Jiang is so benevolent and righteous. My young aunt and grandma are alive in heaven. I am sure she will be very pleased." "However, I am a dumb person, so don't take it personally." Jiang Xiaodao's eyes suddenly turned cold, "What if? Those concubines cannot move out of Fengtian as agreed. Even if the Bai family has no holiday with my father, just for my friendship with my young aunt, I will definitely avenge her!"

At this point, all the value of Bai Yuqing's death has been squeezed out by Jiang Xiaodao.

Poor young aunt and grandma, she worked so hard just to keep the whole family alive.

But he didn't expect that after his death, someone would try to harm the Bai family under the pretext of avenging him, causing him to devote all his efforts to his dream.

The so-called killing and punishing the heart is nothing more than this.

There seems to be no trace of why Jiang Xiaodao went from the impoverished, perverse, tiger-headed boy back then to the cunning, cunning, and cunning person he is today.

To say that this change started from his father's fate, he was good at revenge, and finally he was forced to do so, would be like excusing himself.

He only remembered his father's advice - when walking on a mountain road, don't look back...

Or maybe, this is just like Uncle Qi said, when he decides to go further, even if he is pretending, he has to pretend to be another person.

The guests may not agree in their hearts, but they have to admit that Jiang Xiaodao's statement is indeed morally tenable, so they echoed a few words.

"Both families are blood feuds. It's human nature for Shaoxia Jiang to have concerns. None of us can stand and talk without feeling pain in our backs. We can only say that we hope the Bai family can settle down as soon as possible and give Shaoxia Jiang a sure message. Everyone So that the hostility can be turned into friendship as soon as possible."

"Yes, yes, in the final analysis, this is still your family's own business. The few of us, to put it harshly, are just following along to make trouble."

"Oh! I'm just pitiful about the young aunt and grandma, and a pair of children who are not very old. When the young aunt got married, the children all took the surname Bai, but the Bai family still didn't regard them as outsiders. Now both parents are gone. That’s it, those two kids are finished.”

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaodao quickly responded: "Don't worry, I, Jiang Xiaodao, am not that hard-hearted beast. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely arrange the lives of those two children properly."

"Hey! Young Master Jiang is really a benevolent and righteous man! He can take things and let them go without harming his family. This is really admirable!"

"Come on, come on, I had some friendship with my young aunt and grandma before. For this drink, let me offer a toast to Young Master Jiang on her behalf!"

"Come on, I'll have a drink with you too!"

Jiang Xiaodao stood up and agreed repeatedly: "You are so complimentary, it is what you should do and it is your duty!"

At this time, Gong Baonan suddenly stood up at the wine table and said: "Tonight, if the aunts and wives of the Bai family go back, it will be detrimental to the two children if they are not taken care of. I think it is better for me to give them away tonight." Take it."

Guan Wei frowned, tugged on his pants under the table, and whispered: "Old Qi! Sit down quickly, what are you doing here?"

All the guests looked at Gong Baonan, and then looked at Jiang Xiaodao in unison.

"I think what Mr. Qi said is reasonable. If the child falls into the hands of those vicious women, he will inevitably suffer crime and punishment. It is better to take him away as soon as possible."

Jiang Xiaodao looked at Gong Baonan with a puzzled expression.

After thinking for a while, he sat down in front of everyone and sighed: "Uncle Qi, be careful on the road."

Gong Baonan immediately stood up and left the table.

The rest of the people waited and cheered: "Master Qi values ​​​​love, and Young Master Jiang values ​​​​righteousness. Come, come, come, drink this cup, and then three more cups!"

…………

Bai Guoping's foreign residence.

While Jiang Xiaodao was holding cups and chatting with the guests at the "Juxiang Tower", Han Xinyuan, Li Zheng and others finally met outside the house gate.

There was no wind at night, and Han Xinyuan whispered: "Old Zhao from the patrol station said, don't make too much noise, and try not to use guns. Do you understand?"

"Can you let me use the gun in my crotch?" Li Zheng and others said with a bad smile, "Hey, brother, before we came here, Jiang Xiaodao said that after entering, no matter what valuable things are found, they will belong to us. You know this, right?"

Han Xinyuan nodded impatiently: "Don't worry, no one will compete with you."

"That's okay!" Li Zhengshan laughed twice, "Brothers, please stand back a little while I go call the door."

After saying that, he strode forward to the door and tapped the door panel three times.

"Boom boom boom!"

Soon, the concierge's response came from the yard: "It's so late, who is it?"

"Ahem, I'm from the patrol station. I just asked you to leave in a hurry. Come here to learn more about the situation!"

Li Zheng said in a humorous tone, causing all the brothers to snicker.

In the courtyard, the old man at the concierge sighed and pushed open the door.

"crunch-"

When the door of the house opened, Old Man Wu was stunned, but he saw a young man with a fierce face standing outside the door, wearing a deerskin cotton-padded jacket, staring at him with a half-smile.

"Uh... you, you are..." Old Man Wu couldn't help but take two steps back.

However, before he could cry out, Li Zheng immediately stepped forward, put his left hand around the back of the old man's head and pulled him into his arms. With his right hand, he took out the dagger from his waist and stabbed forward.

The night was so dark that I didn't even see the cold light of the dagger.

But there was a "poof" sound, and blood flew from Old Man Wu's throat, splashing Li Zheng's face. When he tried to breathe again, all he sprayed out from his mouth and nose was blood foam.

Li Zheng pushed him away, and then waved to the door.

A despicable massacre began...
