Chapter Twenty-Four: The Lord's Wife

There are a huge number of people in the city of Guanping, what are the serious workers, peasants and merchants, what beggars who beg in the streets and alleys call flowers, what unemployed vagrants who play and play, and what little thieves who cheat and steal...... And so on, in short, there are many kinds of people.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, in order to live more comfortably, they are diligent and hard every day, and they are busy with their own things.

Although some of these people are rich and poor, they all have one thing in common, that is, pastime.

When wealthy people are in their spare time, there are more places for entertainment, such as brothels, scholars, and teahouses...... And so on, no matter whether it is elegant or vulgar, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can go for entertainment.

And people in poor areas, although they can also go, but because they are shy in their pockets, they don't have many opportunities to go. In my spare time, it is more important to find a few acquaintances, drink the cheapest drinks, and have the best snacks, and it doesn't hurt if I don't have them, they can talk about the world while drinking, and each of them blows about their own knowledge.

After tea and dinner, the most talked about is, of course, the rich families in the city, because only the lives of those rich people can ignite their hearts and yearn for a better life. Although sometimes they exaggerate and distort the truth due to hatred or jealousy, there is more or less some basis for it.

Therefore, when you are bored in your leisure time, the rumors and rumors circulating in the streets and alleys are like surging rivers, endless. Among these many romantic figures, the city lord Li Tengfei is the first and the only one who can withstand the loss of time and stand tall.

It is said that when Li Tengfei was a teenager, he was no different from other children, and his family invited him to teach a teacher, so that he could learn the classics of the ancient sages and a hundred schools, which can be regarded as a reading material. Moreover, his hobbies are also extremely extensive, in addition to liking poetry, he also likes acrobatics, games, singing and dancing, and magic...... Wait a minute.

When he grew up, especially after inheriting the ancestral industry, he was named the city lord of Guanping City by the lord of the southern country, and gradually revealed some grandeur.

When Li Tengfei first became the lord of the city, he had not yet married a wife. But this does not prevent him from having a group of concubines around him.

Among these concubines, there are two women who are deeply favored by Li Tengfei, one is called Lin Dan, and the other is called Zhou Jie'er. The two are not only charming and picturesque, but also good at speaking, singing and dancing.

Li Tengfei often regarded these two people as pearls, became happy, and rewarded them with some gold, silver and jewelry. Moreover, he made a promise that as long as the two of them continue to behave well, one day, they will be named the wife of the city lord of Guanping City.

But under the clan law, it is taboo to marry each other, that is to say, a family does not allow two masters, and even if a city is a city in a remote mountainous area, it cannot exist at the same time, and two city lords and wives.

Li Tengfei, as the lord of the city, is familiar with history books since he was a child, so he may not even know this. However, to him, these two women are comparable in stature, appearance, eloquence, and talent. Between them, the trade-off was too difficult for him.

So, he pushed the boat down the river and made such a promise that there would be no shadow.

It can't be completely said to be a joke, Li Tengfei's idea is probably survival of the fittest, observe for a while before making a decision.

During that time, the two women vied with each other to serve him, making his life even happier than that of a fairy. It seems that it is the promise that is similar to the mirror flower of the water and the moon, which makes the two young women remember it in their hearts.

Just when they dreamed day and night that they would come to fruition and enjoy the position of the city lord's wife, things actually changed.

Once, Li Tengfei occasionally felt cold and had a serious illness. Zhou Jie'er, who was in the concubine, did not untie her clothes every day, day and night, serving soup and medicine, and accompanying him by his side.

After he recovered from his illness, the plump and round beauty of the past lost a full circle. When he saw it, he was very moved, and since then, his impression of this Zhou Jie'er has also changed greatly, and he has become emotionally invested and began to lean towards her.

As the saying goes, women in this world are more sensitive in terms of feelings.

Li Tengfei, as the husband and master of a group of women, is also their master, and is the provider of their glory and wealth. His joys, sorrows, and sorrows affect the hearts of a group of women all the time.

Moreover, the subtle changes in his feelings, how could the other concubines not notice it.

Later, one day, the sun was shining and the weather was comfortable, Li Tengfei was in the backyard, laughing and playing with Zhou Jie'er, and the two of them pushed around, and they were very happy. In the end, the interest came, and the two of them were in the pavilion in the backyard, wanting to do something else.

Unfortunately, just as he was speaking, Lin Dan took a short knife with a cold light, saying that he was here to show Li Tengfei.

When Zhou Jie'er saw it, she was frightened, and slandered Lin Dan, saying that she was holding a weapon and wanted to murder her husband.

As the city lord, Ji Shi actually carried a sword in his hand to commit murder, could it be that he was tired of being alive! Li Tengfei immediately ordered his subordinates to drag Lin Dan out and interrogate him strictly.

This woman was delicate and weak, but she couldn't be tortured, so she had to confess, saying that this knife was given to her by another concubine, Wu Jing, who had just seen Li Tengfei in love with Zhou Jie'er, and the two were together again, so they couldn't help but be jealous, so they wanted to use this knife to put Zhou Jie'er to death.

She died when she died, and she also involved the innocent Wu Jing, in the final analysis, this Lin Dan woman doesn't seem to be a good person.

The guards of the City Lord's Mansion, according to Lin Dan's confession, pulled Wu Jing out of the back room again. However, no matter how coercive and tempting she was, Wu Jing just refused to admit it.

She said that on the same day, the short knife was given to her by Zhou Jie'er, and it was Li Tengfei's most cherished famous knife. I didn't know why I disappeared before, but I just found it this time, so I asked her to give it to Lin Dan, saying that as long as Li Tengfei saw it, she would definitely like it.

When Zhou Jie'er heard where she was willing to admit it, she immediately instigated Li Tengfei, and finally ordered someone to take out an iron needle and stab her hands and body, penetrating deep into her flesh and bones, and hitting the blood with the needle.

This Wu Jing was in pain because she was dead and alive, and she couldn't be tortured, so she shed tears of grievance and admitted that she had conspired with Lin Dan.

Well, since the party has confessed, then the crime of murdering his husband is confirmed.

In this way, in order to get the effect of killing a hundred people, Li Tengfei gathered all the concubines together, pulled out the sword under his crotch, and killed Lin Dan with the sword.

He looked at the corpse lying in a pool of blood, and was still angry, and handed the sword to Zhou Jie'er and asked her to assassinate Wu Jing.

In an instant, two fresh lives left the world they loved and became two cold corpses.

Seeing that the two main competitors died unjustly, Zhou Jie'er showed an imperceptible smile on her face. She also didn't forget to remind Li Tengfei that if outsiders knew about this, she was afraid that others would gossip, so it would be better to kill people and eliminate future troubles, so that she could sit back and relax.

When Li Tengfei heard this, he even said that it was reasonable, and ordered his guards to strangle the two maids who had been serving Lin Dan and Wu.

The concubines who were watching were so frightened that they trembled and were silent.

Before leaving, Li Tengfei also let out cruel words: "Who wants to spread this matter... Hmph..."

The concubines were all frightened, who dared to disobey at this point, they also knew what the snort meant. and nodded again and again, Li Tengfei gave up, and let them go.

I usually don't do bad things, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Within a few days, Li Tengfei's concubine Zhou Jie'er had a serious illness. When she lingered on the sickbed, she faintly saw several bloody figures, lingering around her, and when she looked closely, she found that it was Lin Dan and others.

Moreover, those people were very miserable, one by one blood and tears, and wept endlessly. said that he died unjustly, if he hadn't been bewitched by Zhou Jie'er, he wouldn't have been confused for a while and lost his life. They also threatened to take revenge and demand her life.

Seeing this, Zhou Jie'er was very frightened, and she was full of excitement and woke up from her dream. She immediately ordered to serve her little girl, quickly invited Li Tengfei over, and threw herself into his arms, frightened, crying about what she saw and heard in her dream.

When Li Tengfei heard this, he was furious, and said through gritted teeth: "God-damned, if you die, you will come back to scare me and wait!

At that moment, he ordered someone to dig up the bodies of Lin Dan and several people from the grave, and crush the bones and scatter ashes.

Pity these women, who mistakenly entered the city lord's mansion, originally thought that they would have a lifelong dependence and enjoy glory and wealth, but they ended up in a miserable end, not to mention, even if they died, they couldn't live in peace.

Since then, Li Tengfei and Zhou Jie'er have never had any nightmares, the two of them are affectionate and sweet, and they are fellow believers who are good at conspiracy. This Li Tengfei looked at Zhou Jie'er, how good he looked, it just so happened that he couldn't choose the city lord's wife, so he simply gave this honor to Zhou Jie'er.

In this way, the concubine Zhou Jie'er became the dignified Guanping City, the first lady.

Of course, in addition to Zhou Jie'er, Li Tengfei also has other concubines around him.

Among them, there is a wife and concubine, named Pan Yuhuan, because she is well-behaved and intelligent, in the treasury of the city lord's mansion, in charge of accounts, and has won the trust of Li Tengfei and other relatives in the mansion.

Although Zhou Jieer is good at calculating others, her mind is not flexible enough, and her control over accounts cannot be comprehensive. But she has always refused to admit defeat, unwilling to fall behind others, and wants to monopolize the financial power of the treasury.

So, she regarded this Pan Yuhuan as a nail in her eyes and a thorn in her flesh. often said bad things about Pan Yuhuan in front of Li Tengfei.

But Li Tengfei is not stupid, he is such a smart person, he can't see through her thoughts, and he said to her bluntly: "No matter how you slander Yuhuan, you can't reduce my love for her!"

However, he is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, hates his own woman the most, and cuckolds himself. In the end, he didn't forget to warn Zhou Jie'er, saying: "No matter how you make trouble, don't go too far." And if someone does something wrong behind her back, that's a different story, see how I clean her up!"

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, Zhou Jie'er is a smart woman, and she inadvertently grasped Li Tengfei's life, and she was excited.

Since then, her slander of Pan Yuhuan has begun to unfold her own plans around this central point.

Later, when the two of them were tired of being together, Zhou Jie'er seized the opportunity to blow the wind in her husband's ear, saying that Pan Yuhuan often scratched her head and posed, bare-chested and bare-backed, often hiding behind the window, peeping into the city lord's mansion, those young and handsome guards, I am afraid they have ulterior motives.

When Li Tengfei heard this, he really went to his heart, he had nothing to do, and often used words to beat Pan Yuhuan.

And Pan Yuhuan was still in the dark, and he didn't know what was going on.

Zhou Jie'er saw that her small actions had achieved initial results, so she simply struck while the iron was hot, slandered Pan Yuhuan and a guard in the mansion, hooked up with each other, and said that she had a nose and eyes, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.

Li Tengfei heard that Pan Yuhuan, who was favored, privately deducted a big green hat for himself, and immediately became angry, led a group of wives and concubines, and rushed to Pan Yuhuan's residence angrily and questioned him face to face.

Of course, Pan Yuhuan refuses to admit it, and it is difficult to argue whether it is true or false. was so angry that Li Tengfei was a smoker, so he decided that she was secretly crossing Chen Cang with others, and ignored her silent explanation.

He asked his subordinates on the spot, stripped Pan Yuhuan of his clothes, and with a "whoop", he rushed forward and punched and kicked Pan Yuhuan. Knowing that he was tired, he asked his wives and concubines, holding a red-hot soldering iron, to press Pan Yuhuan's delicate and white body.

"Sneer......"

The flying green smoke, the smell of burnt flesh, and the heart-rending screams of women give people the illusion that this is hell, not the world!

Pan Yuhuan's body struggled and twisted under the red-hot soldering iron. Suddenly, she pushed down the men and women who stood in her way, rushed out of the door, and trotted all the way into the back garden. In the frenzied blow, she threw despair at the crowd chasing behind her, and after a resentful glance, she threw herself into the well in the garden without hesitation.

By the time she was salvaged, the poor woman had long since lost her breath......

In short, as long as it is the woman Li Tengfei likes, it will be impossible to escape death. The people who were killed by Zhou Jie'er before and after, as many as ten people, were buried in the mass grave in the west of the city.

So much so that later, when the other concubines of the City Lord's Mansion saw their wife Zhou Jie'er, they all stood in two streams, trembling all over, and their faces were colorless. No one dares to go against Zhou Jie'er's wishes and get close to Li Tengfei.
