293 Greed (4th Shift, Seeking Everything)

Let's come and see the Qinglou, now the Qinglou is the mainstream, not only the younger brother, but also the university professors are writing the story of the Qinglou, no matter who they plagiarize, our Qinglou must be original!

…………

The already ghostly hut was even more eerie at this time, and with Xiugu's narration, everyone's hearts were full of horror and fear, and people deeply realized that people were far more terrifying than ghosts.

On the day of the birth of Old Man Zhao's son, Hu Chi, the county magistrate, cordially met with the maid Xiugu who came to visit his father in the county government prison, and personally told her a way to exchange life for life.

That night, the devastating Xiu Gu strangled the newborn baby with her own hands, and hanged the weak Zhu family girl who had just given birth on the beam of the house, and left a curse suicide note under the body.

After telling the whole story, Xiugu breathed a sigh of relief, calmly on the ground, as if she had exhaled the last breath of her life, and her heart was dead.

Everyone was still in shock and couldn't come back to their senses, Old Man Zhao took out a piece of burnt paper from his arms, at a glance, it was a long time, and the identity and purpose of the Zhu family's daughter were written in horizontal and vertical italics, and a string of words cursing her to cut off her children and grandchildren are still clearly visible.

"Ahh ”

Then, the old man Zhao raised his head, his eyes were full of light, and his hatred was shattering, Hu Chi, who was soaked in cold sweat, hurriedly stepped forward and said in a trembling voice: "Old man Zhao, this, this woman is spewing blood, don't be gullible, this official just went to work thirty years ago, and he has never met the old man, he has no hatred or resentment, and he has gotten along well in the past thirty years, and he is a confidant of a good friend, how can this official do this!" ”

Yes, thirty years ago, two people who were innocent and hateless, there was really no reason to instruct Xiu Gu to do this. Old man Zhao's face softened a little when he heard this, and he even smiled at Hu Chi, and said softly: "Lord Hu, if the old man is not mistaken, your lord is the top three in the palace test, and the first is the Jinshi, right?" ”

Everyone was stunned, surprised by Old Man Zhao's question, as if it had nothing to do with this matter, but Liu Li Wa and Wu Liniang and other people faintly heard some extraneous voices. It's just that Hu Chi was also flustered at this time, and replied casually: "The first emperor is kind, and the lower official is appointed as the top three of that Enke, and the lower official is appointed to come here to Ningyuan County as an official. ”

Hu Chi said extremely reverently, expressing his loyalty to the royal family, and it was precisely because of his words that the handsome boy's face changed suddenly, and the smile on the old man Zhao's face became more and more brilliant, and said: "Lord Hu is really loyal to the emperor and the court. How could he be suspicious of the adult because of this evil slave's bloody words, but my lord, this evil slave personally admitted to killing the old couple, and asked the adult to handle it impartially. ”

"That's natural, killing people pays for life, it's just right, this official will order someone to put this evil slave in prison, and he must act according to my Dongning law, and give the old man a satisfactory explanation." Hu Chi said sternly.

"That's very good." Old man Zhao nodded and smiled, the anger and resentment just now seemed to have all dispersed with the wind, making everyone think that the old man had been hit too deeply and was delirious.

But the more he is like this, the more frightened people are, especially the handsome son who represents the Dongning Imperial Court and the royal family, looking at the smiling face of Old Man Zhao, he becomes more and more restless, and the corners of Wu Liniang's mouth show a strange smile, and at the same time, this smile appears as the cold star of the Holy Maiden.

Liu Li Wa is also one of the few people who heard the inside story. Looking at the maid Xiugu's heart, she definitely won't lie, and her identity is just an insignificant maid, in the Zhao family, the whole family lives on her salary and renting the Zhao family's land, the Zhao family is their heaven, there is no reason to offend the Zhao family, and she has only heard of the cruel lady abusing the maid, and she has not heard of the maid killing the master, if no one instructs her, if she is not forced to do so, she definitely does not have the guts.

Moreover, a person is about to die, and his words are also good, not to mention that Xiu Gu has been scared stupid by Miss Zhu, who has returned to her soul, and she is ashamed, she will definitely not spew blood, even if she wants to pull a cushion, why didn't she say that the other two officials, Haihe and Park Changfan, why did she insist that it was Hu Chi who instigated it?

In fact, Old Man Zhao had completely believed her words, and he could still smile at Hu Chi in order to seek a deeper truth, and Hu Chi's die-hard remarks just now completely revealed the truth.

Today, who most hopes that Old Man Zhao will be extinct, who most covets the Zhao family's rich family business, and who is most likely to take over the Zhao family's family business? Everyone knows this answer in their hearts, in combination with Hu Chi's declaration of loyalty to the former emperor Longen and the former emperor's benevolence just now, it is impossible for Old Man Zhao not to understand that his friend of the former emperor is scheming and scheming against him!

Although Liu Li Wa had guessed it a long time ago, but now that it is really confirmed, he still can't help but be a little frightened, the most terrible thing in this world is wealth and interests, even if even the emperor who is high above and rich from all over the world will be moved. As early as thirty years ago, the old emperor set his sights on this rich land, but there was no way, the social structure of this era was like this, the feudal social system dominated by the landlord class, although the emperor coveted it, but he was afraid of chilling the hearts of all landlords, so he did not dare to take it by force, so he could only secretly use some means.

And when it comes to the generation of the old man Zhao, the Zhao family has only one seedling of him, which undoubtedly ushered in the best opportunity for people who are worried about his family property......

But this old man Zhao is really cunning, and at the same time, he is also very determined, he has obviously begun to suspect the Dongning royal family, and even hates it so much that the roots of his teeth itch, but he didn't show it at all, because he knew that it would be useless if he showed it now, the first old maid Xiugu had no evidence, even if Old Man Zhao believed her, there was no evidence. Second, even if there is evidence, it was Hu Chi who instructed Xiu Gu to kill his son, and Hu Chi was an official appointed by the emperor to come to Ningyuan County, which means that the real mastermind behind the scenes is the old emperor, what can you old man Zhao do? Don't say that the old emperor is dead, even if you are alive, how can you still rebel? Third, Li Gongzi, who represents the royal family, is here, always paying attention to Old Man Zhao's reaction, if he behaves, people may immediately detain you for the big crime of spreading rumors and slandering the royal family, but instead create an opportunity for others to take it by force.
