Chapter 206: Revenge
Wu Zhi didn't pay much attention to the affairs of the Qiao family, only knew that Qiao Zhixian was the son of Qiao Guanying's brother who died early, and he had been mixed with Qiao Guanying since he was a child, saying that he was an uncle and nephew, more like a brother.
And after Mrs. Qiao married into the Qiao family, she only had one daughter under her knees.
These things were not enough to piece together a reason to look forward to Qiao Zhixian's death, so Wu Zhi said with some puzzlement: "Why? β
Her tears were still fluttering down just now, but half a tear was gone under her eyes, but her eyes were red, as if she was enduring something.
Little Madam Qiao glanced at Wu Zhi again, her eyes were red as if she was oozing blood, and she said in a low voice: "Qiao Zhixian is really like Qiao Guanying, the maids in the house have been plagued all over again, and they are always outside with flowers and grass, and every time they are leveled with silver, if there is still a person who does not forgive, it will be accepted into a concubine's room." β
Although it is a fact that Qiao Zhixian and Qiao Guanying's character is corrupt, the family style of the Qiao family is also a major reason.
If the two of them have bad deeds at the beginning of their youth, they can be severely reprimanded or even scolded by the elders of the family, and maybe, they can also be called correcting one or two, and always exonerating them from the aftermath, which can only fuel arrogance.
Mrs. Qiao continued: "Once, when he was drunk, he bullied a blind girl, although the girl was a commoner, but her family was a big family. There are many uncles and brothers in the clan, and there are especially few girls in the grandchildren, and I pity this girl for being blind, and I pity her even more. When the parents of the family learned about this, they immediately reported to the clan, and the elders of the clan heard about it, and swore with everyone that they would take the life of the gangster and never die. β
"How do they know that Qiao Zhixian did it?" Hearing this kind of bullying of the weak again, Wu Zhi couldn't help frowning.
"They didn't know it at first, but a young man once bumped into Qiao Zhixian's fleeing back, saw him suspicious, and heard someone crying for help, knowing that this was a villain, so they followed him all the way and saw him enter Qiao's house."
After Qiao Zhixian got the news, he was so frightened that he hid at home and didn't dare to go out. The girl's eyes couldn't see it, but she felt that there was a silk belt inlaid with square white jade on Qiao Zhixian's waist, and the white jade was carved with the two immortals of Fulu. In addition, the young man remembered Qiao Zhixian's clothing style, and dictated it, and drew it. β
When Mrs. Qiao said this, she took a deep breath, as if she wanted to muster up her courage and jump into the abyss.
The girl's family took turns to ambush outside Qiao's house, and the official family was afraid of public anger, so they didn't dare to take care of it. One day, my brother," Madame Qiao choked, "my brother walked out of Qiao's house, I don't know why, at that time I didn't know why he was wearing the clothes that Qiao Zhixian wore on the day of the murder, and the belt, I only knew that when I saw him again, he was already unrecognizable." β
Wu Zhi looked at Mrs. Qiao in silence, she held back her crying, and continued: "The law does not blame the public, and everyone from the officials to the people feels that they are innocent, so they can't do it. Qiao's family hid it from me and lied to me that my brother was kidnapped and killed, and they thought I didn't know, but I knew. β
"I scattered every penny I had, and finally bought a little news. It turned out that Qiao Zhixian, the rat generation, was greedy for life and afraid of death, coaxing my younger brother to put on his clothes and suffer for him, who in this house didn't know that he had committed something, how could he dare to accept his gratuitous kindness. β
"Only my brother doesn't know, how can he know? He came to see me from his mother's house, he was new to the city, he didn't know, he just wanted to come and see me. β
Little Madam Qiao was already wrapped in memories and hatred, and her tears could no longer hold back, converging into a bitter river on her face, different from Fang Cai's deliberate whimpering, she bit her lower lip to prevent herself from crying cowardly.
Suddenly, Mrs. Qiao's expression changed, she was still sad, but she deliberately hid her anger.
Wu Zhi turned his head slightly, and caught a glimpse of Wu Yongan walking towards this room, it should be really sad to see Mrs. Qiao crying, thinking that Wu Zhi was mean, worried that he would make this matter worse and worse, so he came to the round.
"Auntie?" Wu Yongan glanced at Wu Xuan, and couldn't see anything from his ice face, so he had to turn to Mrs. Qiao.
Little Madam Qiao wiped her tears, glanced at Wu Xuan, and said, "If you don't help, just don't help, what are you doing with these unpleasant words?" β
Wu Zhi was speechless for a while, so he had to cooperate with her acting, snorted coldly and turned around and left.
He thought of the little snow rabbit in his yard who also had superb acting skills, and said in his heart, 'Isn't this woman's acting skills innate?' How can everyone be so powerful? β
Then Wu Yongan seemed to say some words of relief, Wu punished his long legs and walked quickly, and only heard a few words.
There are many sufferings in this world, a good young man, happily went to visit his sister who had not been seen for a long time, and he was wearing a new dress and planned to go to the school, but he didn't expect this dress to become his life-threatening talisman.
Mrs. Qiao knew the cause of her brother's death very clearly, but she still had to pretend to be cowardly and ignorant in front of others, and she was busy working for the murderer, which was another humiliating torture.
The Qiao family regarded her as a miserable joke up and down, and deceived her so hard.
She was isolated, she had no choice but to take this opportunity to ask Wu for help and a person who also hated the Qiao family.
Although Wu Zhi has little intersection with Mrs. Qiao, let alone a good feeling, he does pity her.
After returning home at night, he rested in the inner room, Zheng Lingyi finished bathing, and leaned softly beside him with incense.
After Wu Zhi told Zheng Lingyi about this, she was silent for a long time.
"And what are you going to do?" Zheng Lingyi snuggled into his arms and said softly.
Wu Zhi did not speak, and was silent for a long time.
Zheng Lingyi knew that he was entangled in his heart, got up and looked at him and said lightly: "Actually, you can also ignore it, after all, this matter is investigated by my father-in-law." β
Wu Zhi raised his eyes to look at Zheng Lingyi, and said with open lips: "I went back to Dali Temple to check the file in private, and the case of Mrs. Qiao's brother is indeed strange, she shouldn't be lying." Besides, I know where Hengtong Casino is. β
Zheng Lingyi raised his eyebrows slightly, not very surprised.
In fact, my father guessed correctly, and committed the kidnapping in the name of owing gambling money. When I used to gamble in the dark alleys, I knew that there was such a group of people who specialized in this matter. The so-called Hengtong Casino is just a faΓ§ade. β
Although Wu Zhi knew, he didn't want to tell it directly.
He is not a good person, Qiao Zhixian behaved badly when he was young in the Wu family, and he was very bad with Wu Punishment, and now he is being taken captive, and he is also to blame.
Moreover, if Wu Zhi said what he knew, General Wu would inevitably ask a lot of questions, Wu Zhi would have a headache when he thought of it, why bother to find this trouble for himself, he just casually said to Zhen Xin, whether he would take Wu Zhixian's words seriously, it depends on Qiao Zhixian's creation.
Wu Zhi was a little wavering, and Little Madam Qiao dug up the wound in his previous life, letting him see the pain in his heart, which was nothing more than hoping that Wu Zhi could help her slash the enemy.
But Wu Zhi knew that he was not a chivalrous and righteous knight, even if Mrs. Qiao really didn't look like a fake, but this matter had not been confirmed by Wu Zhi himself, he was suspicious in nature, and there was always a trace of hesitation in his heart.
But it seems that it is difficult to really turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.
"Why don't I go to my father-in-law's to find out first?" If he already has eyebrows, it will be difficult for Wu to interfere.
Wu Zhi grabbed Zheng Lingyi's cheek and admonished: "Don't look at him as if he is very good at talking in front of your daughters-in-law, if our thoughts make him aware and disagree, this old man will turn his face faster than a thunderstorm on a summer afternoon." β
Zheng Lingyi never felt that General Wu was a weak and kind person, just look at his experience.
Under the command of the former emperor, he made outstanding achievements, and for a time faintly had the limelight of the master, but he was able to retreat bravely, handed over the power and left a personal soldier, and protected himself and his subordinates.
General Wu's strategies are all yang schemes on the table, which may be why he was blinded by the conspiracy in the back house in the past.
But this is also the situation in the past, General Wu suffered such a big loss, and also saw through Qiao's virtue, even if she told the truth in the future, General Wu would listen to it as a lie first.
"I know it all." Zheng Lingyi rubbed his face against Wu Zhi's palm, and said lightly: "You are actually very similar to him, but your father-in-law is old, so he wraps the edge inside with softness, while you, on the contrary, cover it up with coldness and sharpness." β
Wu Zhi was speechless for a while, but he never refuted, only dragged Zheng Lingyi into his arms again, and said, "Little conscienceless, how could I have been cold to you?" β
Zheng Lingyi smirked on his chest and said, "Naturally, you have to confess to me, otherwise you will be beaten." β
"Beaten? Such? Wu Zhi took Zheng Lingyi's little paw and patted it twice on his face.
Wu Zhu didn't restrain his strength much, the first time was a little heavy, and the second time he felt Zheng Lingyi's hand push and refuse, and then the palm of his hand gently covered his face, rubbing gently.
There was no word between them, and they fell silent for a moment, just looking at each other.
Tonight, Lai Pi took his nest from the outside to the inner room under the tea table, and poked her head out of the nest a little strangely, and saw that the masters were fine, but they didn't speak for some reason, so they buried their heads back again, and their little tails shook quickly.
There was a soft 'whoosh' sound, and the room suddenly fell into darkness, and the delicate tail stopped wagging and stood up nervously, and it found that its master was gone, and the curtain had fallen.
Delicate. I moved my nose and sniffed, and found that the smell of the two masters was still there, and for some reason, the smell of both of them was getting stronger and stronger.
Jiaojiao tilted her head in confusion, and muttered again, thinking of the similar situation before, she barked all the time, but her head was hit by the male master's double pain, and it struggled to suppress her curiosity, and decided not to find out the situation.
Anyway, both masters are there, and there's nothing to worry about.
Jiaojiao thought to herself, and lay back into the nest, wrapped in the smell of the two masters, and her tail wagged happily again.
