Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 148 The Cowardly Mask

"After Gong Xi was arrested, he resisted fiercely, was gouged out, and finally became a prostitute in the lowest brothel. Song Fugui was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion as a murderer. I know whether to behead him or go to prison."

Dong Liu finished the report with a blank face, and quietly glanced at Hu Yu who was sitting beside Nan Surou, who was sitting in front of her chest. Then, with Nan Surou's wave of her hand, she respectfully exited the inner room.

Hearing Dong Liu's words, Hu Yu's original expression froze on his face, and the confidence he had finally regained turned into self-mockery in an instant. He trembled all over without saying a word, the folding fan in his hand was tightly squeezed, and there was a stream of cold sweat on his forehead across.

Nan Surou drank tea calmly and calmly, and had nothing to say.

"You..." Hu Yu looked at Nan Surou with complicated eyes.

Nan Surou turned her head to look at him, her expression was so natural.

"You did it..." Hu Yu trembled.

"What? I have followed your wish and let the thieves get what they deserve. Are you not satisfied?" Nan Surou squinted at him.

Hu Yu shook her head and said, "What's the matter with Song Fugui? I don't believe that a person like him would casually kill a stranger who has nothing to do with him. He's asking for trouble. He's not that stupid."

"Hehe, all you need to know is that he killed someone, so he was arrested. Why do you have to think so complicated about such a simple matter." Nan Surou covered her lips and chuckled.

"I don't want to make it too complicated, but it is actually very complicated." Hu Yu couldn't help saying.

On the surface it is very simple, but behind this matter is indeed as complicated as Hu Yu guessed.

"No matter how complicated this matter is, it's none of our business." Nan Surou said coldly.

As soon as these words came out, Hu Yu suddenly stood up from the chair, and said in disbelief, "The dead Liantang was a life."

Nan Surou looked at him contemptuously, "Are you pitying him? Do you think he is pitiful? Don't misuse your compassion."

Hearing this sentence, Hu Yu frowned, his eyes full of puzzlement.

Nan Surou picked up the teacup and said with a sneer, "You don't understand, do you? Hehe, from the perspective of a person like you, it's really hard to understand that Liantang wanted to kill himself, and he still wanted to kill himself first." My own family, and then he committed suicide by himself."

Hu Yu was startled, "What's going on?"

"Liantang's business is not doing well, the debts are high, and he can't pay back the money, and he is afraid that his wife, concubine and children will be caught by the creditors to pay off the debts. He is very negative and is about to commit suicide by drinking arsenic with the whole family." Nan Surou looked at the more and more surprised Hu Yu, with a slight mockery in his eyes, "When he went to buy arsenic, I found him and told him that even if his whole family died, the creditor would not let it go. It is not uncommon for him to open the coffin and flog the corpse. I don’t want my family to be in peace after death.”

"So, he listened to your words." Hu Yu's eyes darkened. In terms of scheming, he was probably not half as good as the girl in front of him. He thought that the girl in front of him took the initiative to find him and offered to lend a helping hand, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Yes, although it is said that life is priceless, in fact human life can be measured by price." Nan Surou smiled darkly and said, "I told him that although a family commits suicide, there is no need to repay the debt, but if his life is used to In exchange for a huge sum of money, not only will the debt be paid off, but also an inheritance for the family and the sympathy of the neighbors will be earned, why not do it?"

On the surface, Liantang was killed by Song Fugui. Not only did his family get a reward secretly, the debts were paid off, and there was a small amount of money to spend the rest of their lives. The creditors would not run after his family. To get the pity and sympathy of the neighbors, because of these moral compassion, they will also get more daily care from the neighbors.

"You—" Hu Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes, which were filled with horror.

Nan Surou ignored his panic, and continued: "I promised Liantang, and I have already paid the reward. I will ask Dongliu to steal the purses of those five people, and then let the boy who spread the news blame Gong for the theft. Xi, those five people lost their money, but got back what they lost from Gong Xi, and even gained more, and then I asked Dong Liu to share half of the stolen money bag to Liantang's house, and Liantang was willing to act 'The murdered', after the incident was successful, his wife and children received a total of 40 taels of gold, and I think his debts must be paid off, right?"

This woman is an evil ghost at all!

No, she is clearly still a child!

She's a demon, an imp, a monster!

The sense of fear in Hu Yu's heart is gradually increasing.

But Nan Surou said leisurely: "By the way, fourth brother must see many customers in the store on weekdays. If you see someone who wants to commit suicide, please let me know." As she spoke, her cat eyes flickered Seeing the treacherous light, he patted his small chest, and said in an almost innocent tone: "I will definitely train that kind of person to be the most powerful 'dying person', of course, if it is the fourth brother, you will not be able to think about it one day." , just come and find me."

Hu Yu couldn't help but shuddered in his heart, he was not mentally ill, why did he ask Nan Surou?
At this time, Hu Yu finally realized that when he stepped into Suyuexuan, his future was already a road of no return. It was a mistake that would cause eternal hatred, and turning back would be a hundred years old!
Nan Surou's strategy against Gong Xi was actually very routine, even old-fashioned, so Hu Yu didn't feel much about it at that time, but Song Fugui's "retribution" method made him have to re-examine Nan Surou.

Hu Yu's face turned livid in an instant, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Are you still human?"

Nan Surou suddenly stretched out her hand, grabbed Hu Yu's beautiful hair brutally, and messed up his neat hair, which made Hu Yu stunned.

Nan Surou pulled his head closer, she did not hide her contempt, and imitated exaggeratedly: "Didn't you shout all day 'I'm so scared, I'm so scared, sister, help me get rid of them'."

Nan Surou's abnormal speech and behavior made Hu Yu tense all over. However, when he carefully chewed the deep meaning in her words, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. In an instant, he understood Nan Surou's intention.

Nan Surou continued, "Now do you understand? It's me you should be afraid of, not them. Also, do you really think that you can deceive the world by doing this? I'm not a confident idiot like Hu Jun. Can you really fool me with your little knowledge?"

Hu Yu suddenly struggled after these words. He shook his head and broke away from Nan Surou's pull. He tensed up all over, and quickly retreated to a position three feet away from Nan Surou, looking at her in shock. .

Nan Surou clapped her hands and said teasingly: "Don't pretend, you are extremely cowardly in every way, but to me, there are many flaws, plus what you just said to me, I am convinced of other people's previous evaluation of you Absolutely wrong."
