Chapter 026: Killing
"Damn, I didn't think of it!"
While hurrying towards home, Lu Qing blamed himself.
Where did he still not understand at this time?
He was indeed targeted, but although he was targeted, the target of the other party was Han Xiuniang!
The reason why he was arranged by Li Dart to go to the bodyguard this time was to transfer himself away!
Yes, Lu Qing could guess with his toes that it was Ji Zongjie who had a conflict with him before who was planning everything behind his back this time.
And his purpose is to get Han Xiuniang.
As for the so-called happy event, it was obviously the result of him using the power of the Ji family to suppress him, Lu Qing didn't believe that Han Xiuniang and Uncle Han, who loved his daughter so much, would be willing to marry Han Xiuniang to a bully like Ji Zongjie.
"But fortunately, I came back in time, if it is tomorrow, it will be too late."
learned from Zou Feiyu that the wedding of Han Xiuniang and Ji Zongjie is tomorrow.
When he returned home, he saw that although there were red happy words and couplets pasted on the door of Han's house, there were no relatives in front of the door, and it was even more deserted than usual.
Seeing this situation, Lu Qing became more and more sure that the marriage between Han Xiuniang and Ji Zongjie must have been forced.
He took a deep breath, didn't care about going home to rest, and came directly to the door of Han's house.
Looking into the courtyard through the simple firewood door, Lu Qing saw that the originally neat yard was full of clutter at the moment, and it was obvious that it had not been taken care of for a few days.
Faintly, Lu Qing could still hear sobbing in the house.
Hearing that it was Han Xiuniang's voice, Lu Qing couldn't help it anymore, and directly pushed open the chai door and entered the courtyard: "Uncle Han, Aunt Han, Xiuniang!" ”
Before he could finish speaking, he saw a petite figure burst out of the door.
It was Han Xiuniang.
After seeing Lu Qing standing at the door, she immediately cried and threw herself into Lu Qing's arms: "Brother Lu, you are finally back, Xiuniang thought that she would never see you again!" ”
At this time, Han Tieshan and his wife also came out of the house, and after seeing Lu Qing, they both showed a surprised smile on their faces, but then they didn't know what to think of, and they became gloomy again.
"Okay, Xiuniang, hurry up, aren't I coming back?"
was watched by Han Tieshan and his wife, Lu Qing was not hugging Han Xiuniang, nor was he hugging him.
Han Xiuniang also came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly came out of Lu Qing's arms in a panic, and hid to the side with a red face.
Seeing their daughter's first love, Han Tieshan and his wife glanced at each other, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.
Lu Qing asked: "Uncle Han, what the hell is going on, why did Xiuniang suddenly get engaged to Ji Zongjie?" ”
Hearing this, Han Tieshan's face became more and more bitter, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little.
"Alas, it's also to blame you Uncle Han for being greedy."
Han's mother sighed and said, "Come, Lu Qing, let's go into the house and talk." ”
Entering the house, Han's mother brought Lu Qing a cup of tea, and then talked about what happened.
Han Tieshan is a tinkerer, and he lives by repairing pots and repairing pots on weekdays.
On the day Lu Qing took out the dart, Han Tieshan went out as usual.
Soon after arriving at the store, a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes entered.
Then, he took out a porcelain bowl with a delicate shape, but unfortunately, this porcelain bowl was broken, and the other party wanted to ask Han Tieshan to help put it on it.
Originally, when he saw this exquisite porcelain bowl, Han Tieshan didn't want to take this job, because although he occasionally took on the work of curium bowls, those bowls were ordinary people's ceramic bowls, even if they were broken, it didn't matter, he could afford to pay for them.
But the bowl in the middle-aged man's hand, he just looked at it and felt that it was extremely exquisite, for fear that he would break it accidentally.
Just when he was about to refuse, the middle-aged man directly took out ten taels of silver and put it in front of Han Tieshan, telling him that this was a deposit, and if he could make this bowl well, there would be ten taels.
You must know that twenty taels of silver is an astronomical amount for Han Tieshan, enough for him to earn ten years without eating or drinking.
Thinking that if he could make this bowl well, he would be able to make his wife and daughter live a good life in the future, so he immediately forgot about the risks and agreed to come down.
Then, unsurprisingly, there was an accident.
Han Tieshan just got started, and he made this porcelain bowl even more broken, and he couldn't make up for it if he wanted to.
It was at this time that the middle-aged man completely revealed his true colors, and bluntly said that this porcelain bowl was worth one hundred taels of silver, even if it was broken now, it was worth fifty taels, and Han Tieshan must compensate according to the price.
Han Tieshan has been honest all his life, where has he seen this kind of battle, and immediately begged the other party for forgiveness for a while.
It was at this time that Ji Zong was on the scene.
When the middle-aged man saw Ji Zongjie, he was like a mouse meeting a cat, and Ji Zongjie also showed a very sense of justice, and directly said that he paid fifty taels for Han Tieshan, and then threw fifty taels of silver to the other party and told the other party to get out.
Originally, Han Tieshan was still a little grateful to Ji Zongjie for his righteousness, but then Ji Zongjie's words made him fall into an ice cave.
Ji Zongjie said that his fifty taels of silver were not in vain, and Han Tieshan would either return it within three days, or he would sue the official directly and wait for imprisonment.
It was only at this time that Han Tieshan finally understood that this Ji Zongjie was clearly in the same group as the middle-aged man just now.
And the porcelain bowl just now may not be worth much money, it may even be just a good-looking ordinary porcelain bowl, but with Ji Zongjie's mixing, the price of fifty taels is locked, and even if Han Tieshan wants to sue the official, he has nowhere to reason.
Seeing that Han Tieshan saw through everything, Ji Zongjie was also very single, and directly said that he had a crush on Han Xiuniang, as long as Han Tieshan agreed to marry Han Xiuniang to him, then not only would the fifty taels of silver be written off, but he would also give his family a rich dowry.
Han Tieshan naturally disagreed, didn't he let him sell his daughter?
However, Ji Zongjie directly threatened, it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree, when he really sues the official, Han Tieshan is in prison, and the Han family loses their financial resources, he can handle Han Xiuniang's mother and daughter as much as he wants at that time.
Thinking of the Ji family's power in Qingping Town, Han Tieshan had no choice but to agree to Ji Zongjie's request.
"Alas, Lu Qing, it's all my uncle's desire for profit, I want to earn those twenty taels of silver, but I don't want to have a pie in the sky in this world?"
Han Tieshan's eyes were full of tears, and he blamed himself.
"Boss, don't be sad, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? In the final analysis, this matter is Ji Zongjie's ghost behind his back, even if you avoid this time, there will be a next time. ”
Han's mother wept and comforted her.
"Brother Lu, do you have a way?"
Han Xiuniang looked at Lu Qing with a pair of dark eyes and asked expectantly.
She still remembers the picture that day at the temple fair, when Ji Zongjie had nothing to do with Lu Qing.
Han Tieshan and his wife also looked at Lu Qing.
"I'll go back and ask my friend, he's still talkative in town, maybe things will turn around."
Lu Qing smiled in response.
"Really? That's great! ”
Hearing Lu Qing say this, Han Xiuniang's family of three was all excited.
Then, after staying at the Han family for a while, Lu Qing said goodbye.
When he returned to his home, Lu Qing's eyes were full of murderous intent.
"Ji Zongjie!"
