Chapter 81 Turn Black into White
Chapter 81 Turn Black into White
Zhao Wuyou couldn't figure it out, so he didn't sleep well at night.But Mu Baili beside him was breathing evenly, but she guessed that he was not really asleep.The dead eunuch looked approachable, and smiled like a bodhisattva all day long, but in fact he was a devil who ate people without spitting out bones. If he was so gullible, he would die without knowing how.
Xu expected Zhao Wuyou to have such thoughts, Mu Baili left the room before dawn.
Letting out a long breath, Zhao Wuyou thought, did he come here to protect himself, or to keep an eye on her?But after thinking about it, it seems that it is not right.What kind of medicine is sold in Mu Baili's gourd?
Sitting up, Zhao Wuyou frowned slightly, sighed lightly and took out the jade pendant inside the skirt, it was a talisman given by his mother before he left.Holding the jade pendant in the palm, as if holding mother's hand, a faint warmth gradually penetrated into the body, "Mother, Hehuan misses you."
So now, she must leave here as soon as possible.
Just need to deal with the final link, no matter what is in Jinling City, it can no longer keep her footsteps.
There was a low knocking sound outside the window, three long and two short.That was Su Xi's signal, it was Su Xi who came.
"Come in." Zhao Wuyou stood up and opened the window.
Su Xi leaped lightly, quickly entered the room, and then closed the window, "The humble officer has been guarding outside all night, and finally saw the governor leave, so he dared to knock on the door. Young master, are you alright?"
"What can I do? Give him Liu Hongyi a hundred guts, and he dares to attack me?" Zhao Wuyou sneered twice. If you look at it, you have to take care of my father Zhao Song."
Everyone in the world doesn't know that the emperor doesn't care about the government, so the power of the government has long been left behind, and it's all in the hands of Zhao's father and son.
The Zhao family's father and son controlled the government and played tricks. Over the years, they have firmly grasped a great Ye court, which made all civil and military officials jealous and dare not speak out.
Su Xi nodded, it was true.
Not being afraid of the emperor does not mean not being afraid of the Zhao family.
Zhao Wuyou is Zhao Song's only son, if you hurt Zhao Wuyou, and Zhao Song returns to the court in the future, you will not be able to destroy your Jinling City.
"How about Zhong Haotian?" Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice.
Suxi hastily fiddled with the brazier to rekindle the charcoal fire in the brazier, which would raise the temperature in the room.It is an undoubted fact that Zhao Wuyou is afraid of the cold.
"As you expected, Zhong Haotian is quite smart. Let's give him back the wrench, and he turns around and gives it to the steward. The steward takes it out and announces it to the world. It is more witness than his own soliloquy." Strength." Su Xi felt relieved.
Zhao Wuyou smiled slightly, "As far as Qixing Villa is concerned, he has no foundation at all. If the so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, no one will believe him if he takes out the wrench to himself. Why don't you just give the wrench to the housekeeper. When Zhong Haotian talked with the old owner, the old butler was always waiting by the side, and knew the old owner's choice in his heart."
"The old butler is willing to help. He said a few words, which is more effective than Zhong Haotian's hysteria. How is the situation in Qixing Villa now? But it is all under his control?"
Su Xi nodded, "With the help of the patriarch, Zhong Haotian has become the successor owner of the village. As long as the real murderer is caught, the old owner can die in peace and rest in peace. It's just that I don't understand why the patriarch wants to help him?"
"I said before that the ancestors of the Song family were officials in the capital, and now they are merchants, but that does not mean that they are not afraid of my father's power. The Zhao family plays a particularly important role in the whole world of Daye. As the patriarch of the Song family You must be aware of current affairs. The last time Mu Baili was clean and tidy, the patriarch knew that there were Dongchang's minions in Jinling City. Let me ask everyone in the world, who is not afraid of the power of the Zhao family, and who is not afraid of Dongchang's methods?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly.
Dongchang, that is a place that can only be entered and cannot be entered. When killing people, everyone never blinks an eye.
Skinning and bones, eating meat and sleeping skin, the methods are vicious and outrageous.
Knowing that it was the gnats shaking the tree, but still using their so-called backbone to fight against the Zhao family and Dongchang, the Song family would die.Of course the patriarch knew the seriousness, knowing that it was Zhao Wuyou who dared to object, didn't he pull his teeth out of the tiger's mouth and seek death?
If he didn't even have this bit of vision, he wouldn't be able to be the patriarch of the Song family.
Suxi smiled, "That's true. Those eunuchs and Jinyi in Dongchang are all cannibals who don't spit out their bones. After entering Dongchang, there are not even bones left." Er Er let out a long breath, "Seven Star Villa The matter has come to an end, and when the old owner is buried, these idiots will be expelled from the villa, and Zhong Haotian will be alone at that time."
"It doesn't matter to me whether he can be alone or not, I only want what I deserve." Zhao Wuyou glanced at the flickering candle, "The other end of Yunzheng should have been properly arranged, and we will return soon." Jing. By the way, how did you go about investigating what you were asked to investigate?"
Suxi's face turned tense, "Dongchang's mouth is very strict, and the humble job only found out that the man's name is Zhamutuo. He is a barbarian from northern Xinjiang, and he is definitely not from China. It seems that Dongchang has been looking for him for many years, but he has never been found. Guo. I heard that this person is good at changing appearances, like a gentleman with thousands of faces, he has thousands of faces every day, and he is hard to guard against. It is also because of this that the people of Dongchang have not been able to find him."
"Thousands of faces in a day?" Zhao Wuyou was taken aback, "You have traveled the world for so long, have you ever seen such a person?"
Suxi shook her head, "No, but he is from northern Xinjiang, so he might know something different from our middle-earth. I heard that the barbarians in northern Xinjiang have a lot of witchcraft. Is it true."
"I don't believe it." Zhao Wuyou sneered twice, "The so-called thousands of faces are just different, not real. This fake thing is fake after all, and it can never be true."
Su Xi pursed her lips, "I have never seen a person with thousands of faces in a humble job. I heard that there was a white-faced man in the Jianghu in the early years who was good at disguise. No one has ever seen his real face. But it is not as exaggerated as thousands of faces. Therefore, I don't really believe in the rumors of thousands of faces, it is probably alarmist."
Zhao Wuyou returned to the bed, wrapped the quilt tightly, "Is there any movement at the other end of the city lord's mansion?"
"The lowly position has always made people stare at the city lord's mansion, and the young master knows about the incident during the day, and the rest is nothing." Su Xi clenched the cold sword in her hand, "Young master, what else do you want to ask?"
"Liu Hongyi didn't kill his elope concubine?" Zhao Wuyou was a little surprised.
Su Xi shook her head, "No, it seems that she is reluctant."
"It's a deep love, I'm afraid I can't bear betrayal!" Zhao Wuyou rubbed his brows, "This man can really bear it, I want to see how long he can bear it. Dare to interfere in the affairs of Qixing Villa, but dare not Killed my concubine, Liu Hongyi, Liu Hongyi, after all, love between sons and daughters, heroes and shortness of breath."
Su Xi said, "After the old owner's funeral, maybe we will be able to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Seven Star Villa, and then we will know why Liu Hongyi took all means to get involved in the Seven Star Villa."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Help me to investigate, the ones who killed the old owner were nothing more than those unscrupulous people."
"I understand!" Su Xi bowed her head and saluted, "I will resign."
Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, without speaking, Suxi left quickly.
The room became quiet again, only Zhao Wuyou's occasional cough was left, quietly blooming in the beeping booing lanterns.Su Xi walked forward, Mu Baili came back, sat on the edge of the bed with a half-smile, and tidied his clothes slowly.
"Does it sound good?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
Mu Baili took a deep breath, "What do you think?"
"The wall has ears, I'm afraid it's the most beautiful words in the world." Zhao Wuyou looked at him with a smile, "What does the governor think?"
"It's nothing to listen to. I already know about these things." Mu Baili leaned against the bedpost with a lazy attitude.That pair of clear and moist phoenix eyes just raised slightly, a little contemptuous and disdainful, "My ears are covered with calluses, it's really boring. If you really want to know something, why don't you just ask me directly, so that Mr. Waste of energy, material and manpower."
Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, "If the governor is willing to say it, then there is no need to play tricks on that night."
Mu Baili squinted, "What nonsense?"
Hearing this, she coughed even worse, "It was the night that the old owner had an accident, didn't the supervisor come to be my time witness on purpose? The supervisor wanted me to owe you a favor, but he didn't want to let me be caught It was a good opportunity designed by someone, and I deliberately came to tear me up. In fact, if the governor doesn't want to leave, how can I win you with my little ability?"
While talking, Mu Baili had already poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Master Zhao is so smart, how can this be? It's like the roundworm in my stomach, if one day accidentally provokes my sore spot, then— —" He sat back on her bed again, smiling a bit coldly.
Zhao Wuyou took a sip of hot water, "If this is the case, then Zhao Wuyou's life and death can only depend on his own ability. However, it is not easy to survive in the hands of the Governor. , I feel that I am also a useful person, but I am not completely useless."
"Master Zhao is humble. With Mr. Zhao's ability, he is already the most satisfactory opponent of this seat." Mu Baili got up, "You'd better not interfere with Zhamutuo's matter, otherwise this seat will regret it for fear of Lord Zhao Too late."
"Then Zhao Wuyou is even more strange. Who can make me regret it? If I accidentally catch him, how can the governor thank me?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, " This body promise is outdated, I have slept and kissed with the governor, and it seems that the governor has nothing to thank me for. My Zhao family has nothing to lack, it is really annoying!"
Mu Baili smiled, "You can't find him, but I suspect that he will come to you first."
Zhao Wuyou raised eyebrows sharply, "What's the explanation for this?"
"It's nothing, I just thought he might be interested in a white-faced scholar like Master Zhao, so I just said it casually, Master Zhao, don't take it to heart." Mu Baili smiled meaningfully.
White-faced scholar?
Zhao Wuyou smiled back, but there was something strange in his heart.
Mu Baili doesn't seem like someone who created something out of nothing, and his words don't seem to be joking.If it wasn't a joke, then Zhao Wuyou felt strange, a barbarian from northern Xinjiang, why did he come to trouble him?
Doubts abounded in my heart, but my face remained unchanged.
She wants to see, what the hell is Mu Baili doing?
If it is true what Mu Baili said, that barbarian from northern Xinjiang will come to make trouble for him, which proves that it is Mu Baili's ulterior motives to be trapped here.Mu Baili was using himself as a bait, the so-called inseparable, accompanied day and night, just to catch the person he wanted to catch.
And that person, who doesn't know where he is at the moment, is approaching him step by step with ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuyou felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs of his whole body stood on end.
Thinking about it carefully, Mu Baili is the indifferent and ruthless admiral of the East Factory after all, the chief supervisor of ceremonies.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Wuyou was relieved again, she and Mu Baili didn't trust each other, and it was their own ability to use each other.It would be a good thing if he was really used as a bait by him.If she can turn her back on the guest, maybe there will be a different effect.It seems to be a very challenging and interesting thing to let Mu Baili take the initiative all the time, and occasionally let him be passive.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Zhao Wuyou put down the cup in his hand, "Mu Baili, why don't you and I cooperate?"
Mu Baili raised his eyebrows to look at her, figured out the clue so quickly?There was a strange cold light in those deep eyes, with a bit of inquiry and suspicion.But after all, some things have been pursued for too many years, and the desire for results has become his weakness.
"How to cooperate?" he asked.
Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "First of all, you have to tell me, how can I help you lure that person out?"
Mu Baili lifted her exquisite jaw, "Master Zhao's way of asking confession is really different from others."
"I have the value of using myself, so I can make the most of it with the governor. If the governor doesn't confess, how can I help you willingly? The governor is not afraid, I will pry your corner, just like you listen to my corner?" Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, this weak, seemingly harmless white-faced scholar is used to wielding soft knives, and can kill you without a sound.
Kissing her lips, Mu Baili smiled coldly, "He has enmity with me, so he must fall into my hands and die in humiliation." The next moment, he bowed his head again and gently gnawed on her. touching her thin lips.The strength was neither heavy nor light, but it was a bit tantalizing and itchy, which made people's hearts itch, as if there were bugs desperately scurrying into their hearts.
Zhao Wuyou raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's really not easy to be the governor's enemy. If he's not good, he will be hunted down for the rest of his life. It's really too miserable."
"So it's better for Mr. Zhao to be quiet, so that if I'm not happy, even Mr. Zhao will not let you go." He looked down at her.
She raised her lips and smiled, wanton and clear, "If you kill me, where can the Lord Governor find such a sickly white-faced scholar to share the eternal sorrow with you?" After speaking, she straightened up and knelt on the bed, just right Be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Lips and teeth touch each other, she has never been a person who retreats in spite of difficulties.
In her world, there is no shrinking or fear.Ruyu's arms wrapped around his neck, and she imitated his posture and gnawed his lips.In the past, he taught her to be shameless, but this time she wants him to be hard to see people.
Passive, always passive.
Taking the initiative is the way of the strong.
In Mu Baili's place, Zhao Wuyou didn't believe in the so-called braking with stillness.Because Mu Baili has never been a law-abiding person, your so-called braking with silence will only let him take the lead.To deal with Mu Baili, we can only strike first.
"Mu Baili, if one day you will fall in love with me, I will definitely not feel strange." Zhao Wuyou smiled, pressing his forehead together, exhaling like a blue sky, the warmth slowly spread on his face, "After all, this There is only one Zhao Wuyou in the world, only this one person."
Mu Baili smiled, "Then let's compare and see who was the first to surrender in the end."
"We'll wait and see." Zhao Wuyou straightened up, and the two finally opened a certain distance.
Outside, after dawn, the morning light is faint.
Because of the incident in the city lord's mansion, Liu Hongyi was unable to deal with the matter of Qixing Villa, so before Liu Hongyi had time to do it, Zhong Haotian had already done it.
Song Gu was indeed poisoned to death, and the person who poisoned him was none other than Song Gu's wife, the owner's wife.
From the very beginning, the owner's wife had the intention of taking over the position of the owner.The old owner fell ill and was bedridden, so the owner's wife quenched the poison little by little in the old owner's decoction.
Zhong Haotian is the most abrupt part of this game of chess.
No one expected that he would come back suddenly, and he came back so timely that it almost broke all the plans of the owner's wife and the second son.Especially Zhong Haotian's martial arts is outstanding, surpassing the eldest son and the second son.As a result, the owner's wife panicked when the owner's position was about to fall to another family.
Ever since, the so-called chronic poison was deliberately aggravated.
After the owner's wife tested the old owner several times, she made a decision that Song Gu must die.The value of Song Gu's death is reflected in driving Zhong Haotian out of Seven Star Villa, and even framing Zhong Haotian for the crime of death.
That's why before the inheritance ceremony, the owner's wife made the decision to eradicate the weeds, with the intention of eliminating future troubles forever.In order to make her son the owner of the estate, and to enjoy wealth forever, she did not hesitate to poison her husband to death.
The moment the shackles hit her upper body, the owner's wife stared at Zhong Haotian resentfully.
At this moment, Zhong Haotian is already the legitimate owner of Seven Star Villa.Dressed in brocade clothes, with a heroic look on his face, he is wearing the finger wrench that represents the identity of the owner of Seven Star Villa.
"I have something to say." Zhong Haotian stepped forward.
The owner's wife's face was pale, and she glanced at the son who had been taken away, with a little tear in her eyes.There is a difference between the principal offender and the accessory offender, but—that is, after all, a felony of homicide.
The yamen servants retreated to the side, "Don't delay the owner for too long, we are still in a hurry to go back to the business!"
"I'll just say a few words." Zhong Haotian glanced at the butler, and the butler knowingly gave everyone a little favor, which was regarded as a hush money.
"Do you want the position of owner so much?" Zhong Haotian asked, "to the point where you can't even tolerate your own husband? He is already terminally ill and he doesn't have much time left. Why do you want to kill him? For the sake of this village The position of the Lord, who does not hesitate to kill the person next to him? How vicious a person's heart must be to attack the closest person?"
The owner's wife took a deep breath, "I don't hate you, but your mother."
"She's dead!" Mentioning his mother, Zhong Hao Tianxia consciously clenched his fists in his sleeves.
"When she was alive, she occupied all the love of the owner of the estate and shared with my husband. Now that she is dead, her son will come back to fight for the position of owner of the estate that belongs to my son. How can I tolerate you. "She was hysterical. At this age, she could still see the bulging veins on her neck.It is conceivable that she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Zhong Haotian looked at her, "If Dad is still alive, maybe I will return the position of owner to you. From the very beginning, I didn't come here for the position of owner. It was you who forced Dad to leave the position to me. It's your own doing."
"From the beginning to the end, Song Gu just wanted to leave the position to you, so after he became seriously ill, he sent people around to inquire about your news. I know that he has already made a decision, but I don't allow such accidents to exist. "The owner's wife's eyes were tearing apart, "How can you come back and snatch my son's position as the owner of the owner, as a person who is disliked. Since he is not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous."
"As long as he dies unexpectedly, Seven Stars Villa will not be able to accommodate you. You have no foundation, and it is impossible to survive in this villa. It's just that I didn't expect that his life is so hard, and he will have to wait until you come back. I have already There is no way out, there is no way out, I can only make the first move. The murder was done by me alone, and has nothing to do with my son."
Zhong Haotian took half a step back, "Whether it matters or not is not up to me, let the king's law deal with you! The so-called fairness and natural principles will have an explanation."
After saying that, a servant of the yamen stepped forward and quickly escorted the owner's wife away.
"Master?" The butler stepped forward, "Are you all right?"
Zhong Haotian shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just that I suddenly feel that people should be afraid."
The housekeeper sighed softly, "Everything is fate, and some things are yours. Sometimes in fate, you must have it, and there is no time in fate. Don't force it. You can't force it, you can only eat the fruit yourself."
Hearing this, Zhong Haotian said, "Since Master Zhao didn't kill my father, then please trouble the butler to go to the City Lord's Mansion, lest the City Lord treat Master Zhao wrongly and cause unnecessary trouble."
The butler bowed his head, "The old slave is going now."
"Thank you!" Zhong Haotian bowed.
"The owner is being polite. This old servant has been with the old owner for decades, and finally came here like this." The butler smiled kindly.
Zhong Haotian let out a long breath, "So you are an elder, and the old housekeeper doesn't have to be polite to me in the future."
"Okay!" The old housekeeper nodded and turned to leave.
Walking slowly towards the mourning hall, Zhong Haotian stood in front of the coffin, slightly straightening his body.After thinking about it, he took some incense and respectfully kowtowed to his father, "Father, the murderer caught her, and she is your wife who accompanied you day and night. Now she and the second son should have their own places. There will always be punishment for committing a crime, and it is time for you to rest in peace."
Rue sighed again, "I know, in fact, you don't care about these things for a long time, and you left just to reunite with my mother earlier! Dad, I'm sorry."
That sentence is sorry, how low-key it is.
Fortunately, what should be said has been said earlier.So when Song Gu died, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, even if he was poisoned to death, he would live without regret.
But after thinking about it, is the regret in this world the greatest pain left by the dead to the living?When you die, you don't know anything, and you're done.And the regret of the living comes from the dead.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Haotian felt that he hadn't been punishing his father for a long time, but his father had punished him with death.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the son wants to be filial but does not wait for his relatives.
Such a pity, this life is difficult.
The murderer was caught, and the old owner was finally able to rest in peace.
Tianlei quickly entered Liu Hongyi's study, "The Zhuangzhu, the Zhuangzhu's wife and the second son want to see you!"
Liu Hongyi couldn't sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot. Hearing this, he felt angry, "See me? They still have the face to see me? Heh, I didn't do anything good, and I thought I could get it from me." benefit?"
"They said they had what the city lord wanted." Tian Lei bowed his head.
The light in his eyes instantly became extremely ruthless, Liu Hongyi got up, "Then I'll go and listen, what else can they say." At this point, a dead horse can only be regarded as a living horse doctor.
Because they are repeat murderers, the owner's wife, mother and son were separated and put in death row.
When Liu Hongyi came, the two stood up with a whoosh, and walked to the prison door, their eyes were filled with the desire to survive.
"City Master!" The owner's wife hurriedly rushed forward, "City Master, now that we have reached this point, you can't just leave us alone."
But who knew that Liu Hongyi was already in a state of desperation because of Du Yurao's matter, and there was nowhere to vent the resentment in his heart.Hearing these words, Liu Hongyi pulled his lips and smiled coldly, "You kill and set fires yourself, frame the blame, what have I got to do with you?"
"City lord, don't forget, what you want to find is actually in the hands of our mothers. If the city lord still wants to get it, it's best to send us out of the city immediately. As long as we leave Jinling City, I promise not I will pester the city lord again, and the city lord can get what he wants. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" The owner's wife couldn't wait.
"You guys are dying, and you still want to threaten me?" Liu Hongyi frowned.
The owner's wife said, "We agreed on that day that we will work together. The land and what the owner wants, we will give them one by one. Although we are defeated now, you must know that we still have a chance to stand up. As the owner's wife of the Seven Stars Villa, she has hoarded a lot of wealth over the years, and there are many forces dormant in the villa. As long as we can survive, we are still capable of doing what the owner wants."
"Then wait until you have the ability to go out!" Liu Hongyi turned around and wanted to leave.
"Liu Hongyi, you cross the river and tear down the bridge!" The owner's wife yelled, "Have you ever thought that if we reveal the secret, your Liu family will die without a place to bury you?"
Liu Hongyi looked back at them with a sneer, "Death has no place to die, let's wait until you go out!"
"We have left the most important evidence outside. As long as something happens to us, the news will spread like the wind. When you die, your beloved woman and child, as well as your Liu family's feats for generations, will all be put into effect. Running water!" The proprietor's wife gritted her teeth.
"I've only stumbled on one person in my life, but you don't deserve it." Liu Hongyi smiled coldly, "It's better to act first when it comes to things like running water, otherwise... it will become a planting blame."
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Zhuang Zhu was taken aback.
Liu Hongyi rubbed the center of his brows, feeling tired and weak, and needed medical treatment for his heart disease, something stuck in his heart and chest cavity, no one would understand.He looked up at the mother and the child, "No matter what it means, I'm just here for a visit. It counts as some kind of friendship, and now it's the utmost benevolence to come to see off."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Behind him, the owner's wife scolded angrily, "Liu Hongyi, do you really want to die? The authenticity of Qixing Villa has something to do with your father Liu..."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Hongyi frowned.
Tianlei stepped forward and glanced back at the closed gate of the death cell behind him, "City Lord?"
"Tell them to shut up!" Liu Hongyi was a little impatient, "clean up."
"I understand!" Tian Lei bowed his head, turned his head and glanced at the jailer at the door, the jailer nodded knowingly, and then led the people to enter again.Letting out a long breath, Tianlei quickly caught up with Liu Hongyi.
"Did you find out?" Liu Hongyi said.
Tianlei nodded, "These two sons had an affair with a maidservant in the backyard of the old owner, and now we have our eyes on that woman. It is estimated that the woman will know what the owner wants. But——Why is the owner Why don't you just arrest her?"
"Didn't you just say that? If you want to frame someone, you have to tell the truth. When it's hard to tell the truth from the fake, no one will pay attention to these things." Liu Hongyi looked up at the brilliant sunshine.The sun was shining brightly, but my heart was very cold.
Although Tianlei didn't quite understand what the city lord meant, but since the city lord had said it, he just followed through.
There was no movement in the prison, and those who should shut up had to shut up quickly.Liu Hongyi is not a good person either, and he did not kill once or twice.
For a while, there were rumors circulating in the streets and alleys. About Liu Hongyi's father, Old City Lord Liu used his own means and borrowed the power of Seven Star Villa to secretly trade weapons with the barbarians in northern Xinjiang outside the pass for huge profits.
The Seven Star Villa and the City Lord's Mansion were instantly pushed to the forefront.
Then Liu Hongyi sternly denounced the rumors, and Tianlei sent the woman to the people at the right time.Because she had been coerced and lured earlier, the woman vomited quickly, and she vomited out all the plots and schemes of the owner's wife and the second son.
As a result, what was dyed black was washed white again in an instant.
Moreover, the washing is whiter and more credible, allowing Liu Hongyi's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude to penetrate into the hearts of the people.In this way, the common people saw the jokes about Seven Stars Villa, and from then on, they didn't have so much expectations for the reputation of Seven Stars Villa.Seven Star Villa is full of thieves, full of intrigues, and full of things to frame others.
Therefore, any movement in Qixing Villa will become a joke after that, and it will not have much credibility.Only in this way can Liu Hongyi feel at ease for the time being and be able to free up his hands to clean up the family affairs.
Regarding this, Zhong Haotian didn't say much.What he pursues runs counter to the kind of "no one in the world knows the king". He doesn't want to be trapped by his family's fame and fortune all his life like his father, so that he can't be free.
Just because he took over the Seven Star Villa does not mean that he will stand still.
"How is Master Zhao now?" Zhong Haotian asked.
The housekeeper said, "I'm no longer in the government office."
Zhong Haotian was taken aback, "What about others?"
(End of this chapter)
Zhao Wuyou couldn't figure it out, so he didn't sleep well at night.But Mu Baili beside him was breathing evenly, but she guessed that he was not really asleep.The dead eunuch looked approachable, and smiled like a bodhisattva all day long, but in fact he was a devil who ate people without spitting out bones. If he was so gullible, he would die without knowing how.
Xu expected Zhao Wuyou to have such thoughts, Mu Baili left the room before dawn.
Letting out a long breath, Zhao Wuyou thought, did he come here to protect himself, or to keep an eye on her?But after thinking about it, it seems that it is not right.What kind of medicine is sold in Mu Baili's gourd?
Sitting up, Zhao Wuyou frowned slightly, sighed lightly and took out the jade pendant inside the skirt, it was a talisman given by his mother before he left.Holding the jade pendant in the palm, as if holding mother's hand, a faint warmth gradually penetrated into the body, "Mother, Hehuan misses you."
So now, she must leave here as soon as possible.
Just need to deal with the final link, no matter what is in Jinling City, it can no longer keep her footsteps.
There was a low knocking sound outside the window, three long and two short.That was Su Xi's signal, it was Su Xi who came.
"Come in." Zhao Wuyou stood up and opened the window.
Su Xi leaped lightly, quickly entered the room, and then closed the window, "The humble officer has been guarding outside all night, and finally saw the governor leave, so he dared to knock on the door. Young master, are you alright?"
"What can I do? Give him Liu Hongyi a hundred guts, and he dares to attack me?" Zhao Wuyou sneered twice. If you look at it, you have to take care of my father Zhao Song."
Everyone in the world doesn't know that the emperor doesn't care about the government, so the power of the government has long been left behind, and it's all in the hands of Zhao's father and son.
The Zhao family's father and son controlled the government and played tricks. Over the years, they have firmly grasped a great Ye court, which made all civil and military officials jealous and dare not speak out.
Su Xi nodded, it was true.
Not being afraid of the emperor does not mean not being afraid of the Zhao family.
Zhao Wuyou is Zhao Song's only son, if you hurt Zhao Wuyou, and Zhao Song returns to the court in the future, you will not be able to destroy your Jinling City.
"How about Zhong Haotian?" Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice.
Suxi hastily fiddled with the brazier to rekindle the charcoal fire in the brazier, which would raise the temperature in the room.It is an undoubted fact that Zhao Wuyou is afraid of the cold.
"As you expected, Zhong Haotian is quite smart. Let's give him back the wrench, and he turns around and gives it to the steward. The steward takes it out and announces it to the world. It is more witness than his own soliloquy." Strength." Su Xi felt relieved.
Zhao Wuyou smiled slightly, "As far as Qixing Villa is concerned, he has no foundation at all. If the so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake, no one will believe him if he takes out the wrench to himself. Why don't you just give the wrench to the housekeeper. When Zhong Haotian talked with the old owner, the old butler was always waiting by the side, and knew the old owner's choice in his heart."
"The old butler is willing to help. He said a few words, which is more effective than Zhong Haotian's hysteria. How is the situation in Qixing Villa now? But it is all under his control?"
Su Xi nodded, "With the help of the patriarch, Zhong Haotian has become the successor owner of the village. As long as the real murderer is caught, the old owner can die in peace and rest in peace. It's just that I don't understand why the patriarch wants to help him?"
"I said before that the ancestors of the Song family were officials in the capital, and now they are merchants, but that does not mean that they are not afraid of my father's power. The Zhao family plays a particularly important role in the whole world of Daye. As the patriarch of the Song family You must be aware of current affairs. The last time Mu Baili was clean and tidy, the patriarch knew that there were Dongchang's minions in Jinling City. Let me ask everyone in the world, who is not afraid of the power of the Zhao family, and who is not afraid of Dongchang's methods?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly.
Dongchang, that is a place that can only be entered and cannot be entered. When killing people, everyone never blinks an eye.
Skinning and bones, eating meat and sleeping skin, the methods are vicious and outrageous.
Knowing that it was the gnats shaking the tree, but still using their so-called backbone to fight against the Zhao family and Dongchang, the Song family would die.Of course the patriarch knew the seriousness, knowing that it was Zhao Wuyou who dared to object, didn't he pull his teeth out of the tiger's mouth and seek death?
If he didn't even have this bit of vision, he wouldn't be able to be the patriarch of the Song family.
Suxi smiled, "That's true. Those eunuchs and Jinyi in Dongchang are all cannibals who don't spit out their bones. After entering Dongchang, there are not even bones left." Er Er let out a long breath, "Seven Star Villa The matter has come to an end, and when the old owner is buried, these idiots will be expelled from the villa, and Zhong Haotian will be alone at that time."
"It doesn't matter to me whether he can be alone or not, I only want what I deserve." Zhao Wuyou glanced at the flickering candle, "The other end of Yunzheng should have been properly arranged, and we will return soon." Jing. By the way, how did you go about investigating what you were asked to investigate?"
Suxi's face turned tense, "Dongchang's mouth is very strict, and the humble job only found out that the man's name is Zhamutuo. He is a barbarian from northern Xinjiang, and he is definitely not from China. It seems that Dongchang has been looking for him for many years, but he has never been found. Guo. I heard that this person is good at changing appearances, like a gentleman with thousands of faces, he has thousands of faces every day, and he is hard to guard against. It is also because of this that the people of Dongchang have not been able to find him."
"Thousands of faces in a day?" Zhao Wuyou was taken aback, "You have traveled the world for so long, have you ever seen such a person?"
Suxi shook her head, "No, but he is from northern Xinjiang, so he might know something different from our middle-earth. I heard that the barbarians in northern Xinjiang have a lot of witchcraft. Is it true."
"I don't believe it." Zhao Wuyou sneered twice, "The so-called thousands of faces are just different, not real. This fake thing is fake after all, and it can never be true."
Su Xi pursed her lips, "I have never seen a person with thousands of faces in a humble job. I heard that there was a white-faced man in the Jianghu in the early years who was good at disguise. No one has ever seen his real face. But it is not as exaggerated as thousands of faces. Therefore, I don't really believe in the rumors of thousands of faces, it is probably alarmist."
Zhao Wuyou returned to the bed, wrapped the quilt tightly, "Is there any movement at the other end of the city lord's mansion?"
"The lowly position has always made people stare at the city lord's mansion, and the young master knows about the incident during the day, and the rest is nothing." Su Xi clenched the cold sword in her hand, "Young master, what else do you want to ask?"
"Liu Hongyi didn't kill his elope concubine?" Zhao Wuyou was a little surprised.
Su Xi shook her head, "No, it seems that she is reluctant."
"It's a deep love, I'm afraid I can't bear betrayal!" Zhao Wuyou rubbed his brows, "This man can really bear it, I want to see how long he can bear it. Dare to interfere in the affairs of Qixing Villa, but dare not Killed my concubine, Liu Hongyi, Liu Hongyi, after all, love between sons and daughters, heroes and shortness of breath."
Su Xi said, "After the old owner's funeral, maybe we will be able to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Seven Star Villa, and then we will know why Liu Hongyi took all means to get involved in the Seven Star Villa."
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Help me to investigate, the ones who killed the old owner were nothing more than those unscrupulous people."
"I understand!" Su Xi bowed her head and saluted, "I will resign."
Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, without speaking, Suxi left quickly.
The room became quiet again, only Zhao Wuyou's occasional cough was left, quietly blooming in the beeping booing lanterns.Su Xi walked forward, Mu Baili came back, sat on the edge of the bed with a half-smile, and tidied his clothes slowly.
"Does it sound good?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
Mu Baili took a deep breath, "What do you think?"
"The wall has ears, I'm afraid it's the most beautiful words in the world." Zhao Wuyou looked at him with a smile, "What does the governor think?"
"It's nothing to listen to. I already know about these things." Mu Baili leaned against the bedpost with a lazy attitude.That pair of clear and moist phoenix eyes just raised slightly, a little contemptuous and disdainful, "My ears are covered with calluses, it's really boring. If you really want to know something, why don't you just ask me directly, so that Mr. Waste of energy, material and manpower."
Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, "If the governor is willing to say it, then there is no need to play tricks on that night."
Mu Baili squinted, "What nonsense?"
Hearing this, she coughed even worse, "It was the night that the old owner had an accident, didn't the supervisor come to be my time witness on purpose? The supervisor wanted me to owe you a favor, but he didn't want to let me be caught It was a good opportunity designed by someone, and I deliberately came to tear me up. In fact, if the governor doesn't want to leave, how can I win you with my little ability?"
While talking, Mu Baili had already poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Master Zhao is so smart, how can this be? It's like the roundworm in my stomach, if one day accidentally provokes my sore spot, then— —" He sat back on her bed again, smiling a bit coldly.
Zhao Wuyou took a sip of hot water, "If this is the case, then Zhao Wuyou's life and death can only depend on his own ability. However, it is not easy to survive in the hands of the Governor. , I feel that I am also a useful person, but I am not completely useless."
"Master Zhao is humble. With Mr. Zhao's ability, he is already the most satisfactory opponent of this seat." Mu Baili got up, "You'd better not interfere with Zhamutuo's matter, otherwise this seat will regret it for fear of Lord Zhao Too late."
"Then Zhao Wuyou is even more strange. Who can make me regret it? If I accidentally catch him, how can the governor thank me?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, " This body promise is outdated, I have slept and kissed with the governor, and it seems that the governor has nothing to thank me for. My Zhao family has nothing to lack, it is really annoying!"
Mu Baili smiled, "You can't find him, but I suspect that he will come to you first."
Zhao Wuyou raised eyebrows sharply, "What's the explanation for this?"
"It's nothing, I just thought he might be interested in a white-faced scholar like Master Zhao, so I just said it casually, Master Zhao, don't take it to heart." Mu Baili smiled meaningfully.
White-faced scholar?
Zhao Wuyou smiled back, but there was something strange in his heart.
Mu Baili doesn't seem like someone who created something out of nothing, and his words don't seem to be joking.If it wasn't a joke, then Zhao Wuyou felt strange, a barbarian from northern Xinjiang, why did he come to trouble him?
Doubts abounded in my heart, but my face remained unchanged.
She wants to see, what the hell is Mu Baili doing?
If it is true what Mu Baili said, that barbarian from northern Xinjiang will come to make trouble for him, which proves that it is Mu Baili's ulterior motives to be trapped here.Mu Baili was using himself as a bait, the so-called inseparable, accompanied day and night, just to catch the person he wanted to catch.
And that person, who doesn't know where he is at the moment, is approaching him step by step with ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, Zhao Wuyou felt a chill run down his spine, and the hairs of his whole body stood on end.
Thinking about it carefully, Mu Baili is the indifferent and ruthless admiral of the East Factory after all, the chief supervisor of ceremonies.
But after thinking about it, Zhao Wuyou was relieved again, she and Mu Baili didn't trust each other, and it was their own ability to use each other.It would be a good thing if he was really used as a bait by him.If she can turn her back on the guest, maybe there will be a different effect.It seems to be a very challenging and interesting thing to let Mu Baili take the initiative all the time, and occasionally let him be passive.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Zhao Wuyou put down the cup in his hand, "Mu Baili, why don't you and I cooperate?"
Mu Baili raised his eyebrows to look at her, figured out the clue so quickly?There was a strange cold light in those deep eyes, with a bit of inquiry and suspicion.But after all, some things have been pursued for too many years, and the desire for results has become his weakness.
"How to cooperate?" he asked.
Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "First of all, you have to tell me, how can I help you lure that person out?"
Mu Baili lifted her exquisite jaw, "Master Zhao's way of asking confession is really different from others."
"I have the value of using myself, so I can make the most of it with the governor. If the governor doesn't confess, how can I help you willingly? The governor is not afraid, I will pry your corner, just like you listen to my corner?" Zhao Wuyou coughed twice, this weak, seemingly harmless white-faced scholar is used to wielding soft knives, and can kill you without a sound.
Kissing her lips, Mu Baili smiled coldly, "He has enmity with me, so he must fall into my hands and die in humiliation." The next moment, he bowed his head again and gently gnawed on her. touching her thin lips.The strength was neither heavy nor light, but it was a bit tantalizing and itchy, which made people's hearts itch, as if there were bugs desperately scurrying into their hearts.
Zhao Wuyou raised his eyebrows slightly, "It's really not easy to be the governor's enemy. If he's not good, he will be hunted down for the rest of his life. It's really too miserable."
"So it's better for Mr. Zhao to be quiet, so that if I'm not happy, even Mr. Zhao will not let you go." He looked down at her.
She raised her lips and smiled, wanton and clear, "If you kill me, where can the Lord Governor find such a sickly white-faced scholar to share the eternal sorrow with you?" After speaking, she straightened up and knelt on the bed, just right Be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Lips and teeth touch each other, she has never been a person who retreats in spite of difficulties.
In her world, there is no shrinking or fear.Ruyu's arms wrapped around his neck, and she imitated his posture and gnawed his lips.In the past, he taught her to be shameless, but this time she wants him to be hard to see people.
Passive, always passive.
Taking the initiative is the way of the strong.
In Mu Baili's place, Zhao Wuyou didn't believe in the so-called braking with stillness.Because Mu Baili has never been a law-abiding person, your so-called braking with silence will only let him take the lead.To deal with Mu Baili, we can only strike first.
"Mu Baili, if one day you will fall in love with me, I will definitely not feel strange." Zhao Wuyou smiled, pressing his forehead together, exhaling like a blue sky, the warmth slowly spread on his face, "After all, this There is only one Zhao Wuyou in the world, only this one person."
Mu Baili smiled, "Then let's compare and see who was the first to surrender in the end."
"We'll wait and see." Zhao Wuyou straightened up, and the two finally opened a certain distance.
Outside, after dawn, the morning light is faint.
Because of the incident in the city lord's mansion, Liu Hongyi was unable to deal with the matter of Qixing Villa, so before Liu Hongyi had time to do it, Zhong Haotian had already done it.
Song Gu was indeed poisoned to death, and the person who poisoned him was none other than Song Gu's wife, the owner's wife.
From the very beginning, the owner's wife had the intention of taking over the position of the owner.The old owner fell ill and was bedridden, so the owner's wife quenched the poison little by little in the old owner's decoction.
Zhong Haotian is the most abrupt part of this game of chess.
No one expected that he would come back suddenly, and he came back so timely that it almost broke all the plans of the owner's wife and the second son.Especially Zhong Haotian's martial arts is outstanding, surpassing the eldest son and the second son.As a result, the owner's wife panicked when the owner's position was about to fall to another family.
Ever since, the so-called chronic poison was deliberately aggravated.
After the owner's wife tested the old owner several times, she made a decision that Song Gu must die.The value of Song Gu's death is reflected in driving Zhong Haotian out of Seven Star Villa, and even framing Zhong Haotian for the crime of death.
That's why before the inheritance ceremony, the owner's wife made the decision to eradicate the weeds, with the intention of eliminating future troubles forever.In order to make her son the owner of the estate, and to enjoy wealth forever, she did not hesitate to poison her husband to death.
The moment the shackles hit her upper body, the owner's wife stared at Zhong Haotian resentfully.
At this moment, Zhong Haotian is already the legitimate owner of Seven Star Villa.Dressed in brocade clothes, with a heroic look on his face, he is wearing the finger wrench that represents the identity of the owner of Seven Star Villa.
"I have something to say." Zhong Haotian stepped forward.
The owner's wife's face was pale, and she glanced at the son who had been taken away, with a little tear in her eyes.There is a difference between the principal offender and the accessory offender, but—that is, after all, a felony of homicide.
The yamen servants retreated to the side, "Don't delay the owner for too long, we are still in a hurry to go back to the business!"
"I'll just say a few words." Zhong Haotian glanced at the butler, and the butler knowingly gave everyone a little favor, which was regarded as a hush money.
"Do you want the position of owner so much?" Zhong Haotian asked, "to the point where you can't even tolerate your own husband? He is already terminally ill and he doesn't have much time left. Why do you want to kill him? For the sake of this village The position of the Lord, who does not hesitate to kill the person next to him? How vicious a person's heart must be to attack the closest person?"
The owner's wife took a deep breath, "I don't hate you, but your mother."
"She's dead!" Mentioning his mother, Zhong Hao Tianxia consciously clenched his fists in his sleeves.
"When she was alive, she occupied all the love of the owner of the estate and shared with my husband. Now that she is dead, her son will come back to fight for the position of owner of the estate that belongs to my son. How can I tolerate you. "She was hysterical. At this age, she could still see the bulging veins on her neck.It is conceivable that she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Zhong Haotian looked at her, "If Dad is still alive, maybe I will return the position of owner to you. From the very beginning, I didn't come here for the position of owner. It was you who forced Dad to leave the position to me. It's your own doing."
"From the beginning to the end, Song Gu just wanted to leave the position to you, so after he became seriously ill, he sent people around to inquire about your news. I know that he has already made a decision, but I don't allow such accidents to exist. "The owner's wife's eyes were tearing apart, "How can you come back and snatch my son's position as the owner of the owner, as a person who is disliked. Since he is not benevolent, don't blame me for being unrighteous."
"As long as he dies unexpectedly, Seven Stars Villa will not be able to accommodate you. You have no foundation, and it is impossible to survive in this villa. It's just that I didn't expect that his life is so hard, and he will have to wait until you come back. I have already There is no way out, there is no way out, I can only make the first move. The murder was done by me alone, and has nothing to do with my son."
Zhong Haotian took half a step back, "Whether it matters or not is not up to me, let the king's law deal with you! The so-called fairness and natural principles will have an explanation."
After saying that, a servant of the yamen stepped forward and quickly escorted the owner's wife away.
"Master?" The butler stepped forward, "Are you all right?"
Zhong Haotian shook his head, "I'm fine, it's just that I suddenly feel that people should be afraid."
The housekeeper sighed softly, "Everything is fate, and some things are yours. Sometimes in fate, you must have it, and there is no time in fate. Don't force it. You can't force it, you can only eat the fruit yourself."
Hearing this, Zhong Haotian said, "Since Master Zhao didn't kill my father, then please trouble the butler to go to the City Lord's Mansion, lest the City Lord treat Master Zhao wrongly and cause unnecessary trouble."
The butler bowed his head, "The old slave is going now."
"Thank you!" Zhong Haotian bowed.
"The owner is being polite. This old servant has been with the old owner for decades, and finally came here like this." The butler smiled kindly.
Zhong Haotian let out a long breath, "So you are an elder, and the old housekeeper doesn't have to be polite to me in the future."
"Okay!" The old housekeeper nodded and turned to leave.
Walking slowly towards the mourning hall, Zhong Haotian stood in front of the coffin, slightly straightening his body.After thinking about it, he took some incense and respectfully kowtowed to his father, "Father, the murderer caught her, and she is your wife who accompanied you day and night. Now she and the second son should have their own places. There will always be punishment for committing a crime, and it is time for you to rest in peace."
Rue sighed again, "I know, in fact, you don't care about these things for a long time, and you left just to reunite with my mother earlier! Dad, I'm sorry."
That sentence is sorry, how low-key it is.
Fortunately, what should be said has been said earlier.So when Song Gu died, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, even if he was poisoned to death, he would live without regret.
But after thinking about it, is the regret in this world the greatest pain left by the dead to the living?When you die, you don't know anything, and you're done.And the regret of the living comes from the dead.
Thinking about it this way, Zhong Haotian felt that he hadn't been punishing his father for a long time, but his father had punished him with death.
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop; the son wants to be filial but does not wait for his relatives.
Such a pity, this life is difficult.
The murderer was caught, and the old owner was finally able to rest in peace.
Tianlei quickly entered Liu Hongyi's study, "The Zhuangzhu, the Zhuangzhu's wife and the second son want to see you!"
Liu Hongyi couldn't sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot. Hearing this, he felt angry, "See me? They still have the face to see me? Heh, I didn't do anything good, and I thought I could get it from me." benefit?"
"They said they had what the city lord wanted." Tian Lei bowed his head.
The light in his eyes instantly became extremely ruthless, Liu Hongyi got up, "Then I'll go and listen, what else can they say." At this point, a dead horse can only be regarded as a living horse doctor.
Because they are repeat murderers, the owner's wife, mother and son were separated and put in death row.
When Liu Hongyi came, the two stood up with a whoosh, and walked to the prison door, their eyes were filled with the desire to survive.
"City Master!" The owner's wife hurriedly rushed forward, "City Master, now that we have reached this point, you can't just leave us alone."
But who knew that Liu Hongyi was already in a state of desperation because of Du Yurao's matter, and there was nowhere to vent the resentment in his heart.Hearing these words, Liu Hongyi pulled his lips and smiled coldly, "You kill and set fires yourself, frame the blame, what have I got to do with you?"
"City lord, don't forget, what you want to find is actually in the hands of our mothers. If the city lord still wants to get it, it's best to send us out of the city immediately. As long as we leave Jinling City, I promise not I will pester the city lord again, and the city lord can get what he wants. In this way, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?" The owner's wife couldn't wait.
"You guys are dying, and you still want to threaten me?" Liu Hongyi frowned.
The owner's wife said, "We agreed on that day that we will work together. The land and what the owner wants, we will give them one by one. Although we are defeated now, you must know that we still have a chance to stand up. As the owner's wife of the Seven Stars Villa, she has hoarded a lot of wealth over the years, and there are many forces dormant in the villa. As long as we can survive, we are still capable of doing what the owner wants."
"Then wait until you have the ability to go out!" Liu Hongyi turned around and wanted to leave.
"Liu Hongyi, you cross the river and tear down the bridge!" The owner's wife yelled, "Have you ever thought that if we reveal the secret, your Liu family will die without a place to bury you?"
Liu Hongyi looked back at them with a sneer, "Death has no place to die, let's wait until you go out!"
"We have left the most important evidence outside. As long as something happens to us, the news will spread like the wind. When you die, your beloved woman and child, as well as your Liu family's feats for generations, will all be put into effect. Running water!" The proprietor's wife gritted her teeth.
"I've only stumbled on one person in my life, but you don't deserve it." Liu Hongyi smiled coldly, "It's better to act first when it comes to things like running water, otherwise... it will become a planting blame."
"What do you mean by that?" Mrs. Zhuang Zhu was taken aback.
Liu Hongyi rubbed the center of his brows, feeling tired and weak, and needed medical treatment for his heart disease, something stuck in his heart and chest cavity, no one would understand.He looked up at the mother and the child, "No matter what it means, I'm just here for a visit. It counts as some kind of friendship, and now it's the utmost benevolence to come to see off."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Behind him, the owner's wife scolded angrily, "Liu Hongyi, do you really want to die? The authenticity of Qixing Villa has something to do with your father Liu..."
Taking a deep breath, Liu Hongyi frowned.
Tianlei stepped forward and glanced back at the closed gate of the death cell behind him, "City Lord?"
"Tell them to shut up!" Liu Hongyi was a little impatient, "clean up."
"I understand!" Tian Lei bowed his head, turned his head and glanced at the jailer at the door, the jailer nodded knowingly, and then led the people to enter again.Letting out a long breath, Tianlei quickly caught up with Liu Hongyi.
"Did you find out?" Liu Hongyi said.
Tianlei nodded, "These two sons had an affair with a maidservant in the backyard of the old owner, and now we have our eyes on that woman. It is estimated that the woman will know what the owner wants. But——Why is the owner Why don't you just arrest her?"
"Didn't you just say that? If you want to frame someone, you have to tell the truth. When it's hard to tell the truth from the fake, no one will pay attention to these things." Liu Hongyi looked up at the brilliant sunshine.The sun was shining brightly, but my heart was very cold.
Although Tianlei didn't quite understand what the city lord meant, but since the city lord had said it, he just followed through.
There was no movement in the prison, and those who should shut up had to shut up quickly.Liu Hongyi is not a good person either, and he did not kill once or twice.
For a while, there were rumors circulating in the streets and alleys. About Liu Hongyi's father, Old City Lord Liu used his own means and borrowed the power of Seven Star Villa to secretly trade weapons with the barbarians in northern Xinjiang outside the pass for huge profits.
The Seven Star Villa and the City Lord's Mansion were instantly pushed to the forefront.
Then Liu Hongyi sternly denounced the rumors, and Tianlei sent the woman to the people at the right time.Because she had been coerced and lured earlier, the woman vomited quickly, and she vomited out all the plots and schemes of the owner's wife and the second son.
As a result, what was dyed black was washed white again in an instant.
Moreover, the washing is whiter and more credible, allowing Liu Hongyi's righteous and awe-inspiring attitude to penetrate into the hearts of the people.In this way, the common people saw the jokes about Seven Stars Villa, and from then on, they didn't have so much expectations for the reputation of Seven Stars Villa.Seven Star Villa is full of thieves, full of intrigues, and full of things to frame others.
Therefore, any movement in Qixing Villa will become a joke after that, and it will not have much credibility.Only in this way can Liu Hongyi feel at ease for the time being and be able to free up his hands to clean up the family affairs.
Regarding this, Zhong Haotian didn't say much.What he pursues runs counter to the kind of "no one in the world knows the king". He doesn't want to be trapped by his family's fame and fortune all his life like his father, so that he can't be free.
Just because he took over the Seven Star Villa does not mean that he will stand still.
"How is Master Zhao now?" Zhong Haotian asked.
The housekeeper said, "I'm no longer in the government office."
Zhong Haotian was taken aback, "What about others?"
