Chapter 40: A Lonely Shadow
Chu He accompanied Governor Li and dealt with the Wang family's bad debts.
After all, this hole is the two of them together...... Well, it's mainly the Chu River that poked it out.
Divide up the land, sell the house, sell the firm, or settle the account......
Old Man Lin was not there, and Chu He felt that he had endured the greatest torture in the world.
But who let it, the Wang family is two generations of emperors.
People are dead, but the prestige of the royal family cannot be desecrated.
In this matter, Chu He did not make his own decisions, and used the post station to transmit a message to the capital, and soon received the holy teachings.
Two generations of emperors, people can die, and property must be carefully reckoned.
All accounts must be kept tightly closed.
Every firm's deposits, inventories, debts, and foreign debts must be sorted out clearly.
In the words of the Holy One, there is no room for error.
There are still 3,000 nails in the rotten ship, even if the Wang family is ruined, the assets left behind, a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, add up to a huge number.
Even if Governor Li mobilized the master and the account office of the government office below to help, the Wang family itself made up this number of account rooms, which was still a huge project.
Governor Li didn't understand why the Holy Lord paid so much attention to these small things, but since it was the Holy Lord's order, it had to be strictly implemented.
After all, although the Holy Lord has been in charge of the government for decades, it has become more and more unfathomable.
……
Wang Shoucai walked down the street in despair.
He stumbled along, his hips aching.
There is no money to buy medicine, and the beaten skin and fleshy buttocks have long been inflamed.
Maybe in two or three days, he will die a miserable death on the street.
At this time, Wang Shoucai missed his life in the Wang family very much.
There are people who eat and drink, people who serve, and people who sleep with them to warm the bed.
What if it's a puppet?
What about the wild seeds left by the Wang family outside?
What if it is taken to the top cylinder by the Wang family?
People only know to cherish when they lose.
The Wang family divides up the industry, and there is no share of him.
Not a penny.
In desperation, he walked into the pawnshop and exchanged the beaten half-tattered satin clothes on his body for ninety cents.
Wang Shoucai clearly remembered that when he ordered this dress, he spent more than 30 taels of silver.
Then, Wang Shoucai, who was wearing a middle coat, bought some gold sore medicine under the strange eyes of the pharmacy guys, gritted his teeth and applied it to himself.
What can we do next?
Wang Shoucai moved to the corner of the street step by step and slowly lay down.
Yes, ask for food.
In addition to dying, he can also ask for food.
The former young master of the Wang family began to learn new skills in humiliation.
However, his dress obviously looks much more miserable, but the harvest is very little less than the little beggar next to him.
Wang Shoucai is not a stupid person, if he can understand that the old lady Wang is using him as a puppet, he is not a stupid person.
After careful observation, Wang Shoucai confirmed one thing.
To beg, first of all, he needs a tool.
A broken bowl.
It's just that his current body and physical strength are not enough to support him to make another broken bowl and come back.
For the first time, Wang Shoucai felt regret.
originally thought that he would either win or die, so he was very single, and he didn't even prepare a bowl for himself.
This is the wonder of the things of the world.
The things you want will always fly away, and even if you are ready to die, you don't think that there will be the possibility of being evicted from the house.
Therefore, a wonderful thing happened, and a bowl fell in front of the king Shoucai.
"Thank you, thank you......" Wang Shoucai shuddered when he looked up.
It's the little beggar.
He asked the butcher to hunt down the little beggar.
The little beggar squatted on the ground and asked Wang Shoucai seriously: "How does it feel to be a beggar?" ”
Wang Shoucai's face turned red, but not because of shame, but because of inflammation and fever: "People...... Always live. ”
Yes, as long as you can live, what if you are humiliated?
The little beggar nodded with satisfaction: "The way you look now, it's much more pleasing to the eye." ”
Wang Shoucai laughed at himself, thinking that the old lady who died early secretly gave herself a name for keeping money according to the ranking of the Wang family, who knew that it would be the life of a beggar?
The little beggar then said: "Since you have become a beggar, are you interested...... Do it a little more advanced? ”
"Advanced...... A little? Wang Shoucai didn't understand the meaning of the little beggar.
The little beggar pouted: "I just asked you if you are interested in being the leader of the beggar gang." This is also considered to be out of the ground among our beggars. ”
Anyway, Wang Shoucai was also the former heir of the Wang family, and the nature of a businessman attacked, and he immediately asked: "Am I the leader of the beggar gang?" Is there any benefit. ”
Nothing good can be done, no matter how tempting it looks.
The little beggar grinned, revealing two rows of shiny teeth: "If you become the leader of the beggar gang, you are willing to take care of them for me......"
The little beggar pointed to the little beggar who was probing his brain nearby: "As long as you help me take care of them, don't let the beggars scatter and let them be bullied, I will help you cure your ass!" ”
After speaking, the little beggar patted Wang Shoucai's buttocks.
The sharp pain in the buttocks made Wang Shoucai ecstatic, this is not a dream.
"Good! I'll be the leader of this beggar gang. Don't worry, although I am a waste now, I have also been the young master of the Wang family, I know a lot of things, and I know a lot of people...... It won't make everyone suffer. ”
The little beggar whistled, and dozens of teenagers immediately rushed over, quietly looking at Wang Shoucai.
Obviously, the little beggar has already settled down for "work" and "handover", and these ragged teenagers all know that Wang Shoucai is their new helper.
"In the future, don't bully him, don't look at him as a waste now, raise it well, it's different." The little beggar spoke earnestly to his subordinates.
Then, he handed over two and a half pieces of mutton fat white jade and a top of silver to Wang Shouyi, and said seriously: "When I come back, the beggars can't disperse." ”
"Helper, don't worry!" Wang Shoucai clung to the mutton fat, white jade and silver ingots.
This is the capital of his fortune, so he will not continue to be a beggar, how much money can he have for food?
However, the little beggar's eyes also made him numb, and these little beggars can't be offended......
The little beggar left. On the streets of Jiuyuan Mansion, there is one less beggar, but there is one more "helper" who does not participate in begging......
……
Chu He returned to the inn exhausted, and saw Song Nian leisurely fiddling with a pile of glassware, and immediately regretted it.
I should have caught this guy in the government and dealt with those strange numbers together.
He walked up to Song Nian and grabbed a handful of almonds and threw them into his mouth.
I'm so hungry...... Burst.
Chu He spit out almonds and said angrily: "How is it bitter!" ”
Song Nian rolled his eyelids: "Where do you get the bitter almonds that refine the poison, of course they are bitter." ”
"What are you doing refining this?" Chu He frowned and dropped the almonds casually. Ever since he knew that this thing was highly poisonous, Chu He had always subconsciously rejected it in his heart.
Song Nian glanced at Chu He and pointed to the powder next to him: "This is the bitter amygdalin I refined." ”
Chu He walked to the table, looked at it carefully, and frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”
Song Nian smiled and said lightly: "Verify the time of death......
Chu He was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
Song Nian sighed: "I thought about it carefully, the last time when Old Lady Wang's medicine bottle was replaced by Wang Shoucai...... It is far from enough for him to support the investigation of the case in the Wang family's secret room. ”
The old lady of the Wang family first took the "fake medicine", and then Wang Shouyi replaced the medicine bottle, and tossed all the way with Song Nian, and finally died of poison when he arrived in the secret room.
However, the cyanide refined by Wang Shouyi only needs half a cup of tea to kill people.
"In the past few days, I asked the government to find death row prisoners for experiments, and they were basically killed immediately after half a cup of tea."
"In other words......" Chu He frowned.
Song Nian sighed: "That is to say, maybe...... The murderer is not Wang Shouyi, but someone else. ”
Chu He frowned: "Who the hell is it?" ”
Song Nian sighed: "Being able to control the time of death so accurately, I guess...... Either it is an old servant of the Wang family, who is poisoned closely. Either...... It's the old lady Wang herself. ”
An old servant of the Wang family? Old lady Wang herself?
The wealth of the Wang family disappeared, and the old lady Wang may have committed suicide, and once he died, no one knew the whereabouts of the money......
Chu He suddenly turned around and walked out.
The next moment, the officials came out quickly and began to hunt down the old servants of the Wang family.
……
Outside the city, on top of the high hill, the royal cemetery.
The old servant of the Wang family looked at a loess lonely tomb in front of him, knelt on the ground and wept.
The man in white walked out of the grave gently, came to this lonely grave without a monument, and sprinkled a bowl of wine.
"Old lady, you can go with peace of mind, Wang family...... In the future, it will definitely be even more prosperous. The man in white said slowly, and then placed the wine bowl in front of the tomb.
The bowl is a normal bowl. Liquor is ordinary liquor.
The old servant kowtowed a few times, then stood up, touched the package on his body, and said to the man in white who bent over: "The Wang family, worthy of heaven and earth!" ”
The man in white nodded silently.
The old servant of the Wang family turned around, walked through the cemetery, and walked into the distance.
The white-haired figure is unusually lonely.
But he was burdened with ...... The genealogy of the Wang family.
The secrets of this series of cases in Jiuyuan Mansion are all written in the family tree.
However, these are not destined to be reborn.
Unless...... The Wang family reappeared in Jianghu.
The man in white silently watched the old man go away.
Lonely, yet heavy.
The man in black quietly appeared behind the man in white: "Holy Lord, the city is scouting everywhere and starting to search, let's also set off." ”
The man in white nodded slightly, turned around and glanced at Jiuyuan City under the hill, and sighed: "One will be a success, and I only wish them peace and joy......"
Peace and Joy...... Peace and Joy......
Just when the man in white said this, in the Jiuyuan Mansion, in the dungeon, the old shopkeeper who was detained here waiting for Song Nian and Chu He to ask further questions, Wang Zhutou, man, Lao Langzhong...... They all seemed to feel something, and chanted in unison: "Peace and joy...... Peace and Joy ......"
After a cup of tea, the jailer's exclamation was heard in the prison.
Several criminals, who didn't seem to be that critical, died almost at the same time.
Purple lips and bright red ears......
