Chapter 64: The Ugliness of the Family
Liuzhou Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Yuanwai came to the side courtyard tremblingly.
This side courtyard is a place where people live, and under normal circumstances, Zhao Yuanwai rarely comes to these side courtyards.
But now, he had to come.
Because the Zhao Mansion is in trouble.
"Master, dead, two more dead. The four people who buried the body with Lao Li Tou have all died in the past few days......"
In front of Zhao Yuanwai, there was a corpse.
The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and it did not show a hideous and terrifying appearance.
But Zhao Yuanwai could already imagine the terrifying appearance under the white cloth.
His voice trembled, "Damn, haven't you found the murderer yet? By the way, what about the mage?"
"Master, the mage is also dead......"
The servant pointed to the room and said.
Soon, another corpse was brought out of the house.
Judging from the way this corpse is dressed, it is a wandering magician, a mage specially invited by Zhao Yuanwai to exorcise evil spirits.
It's a pity that this mage is also dead in the Zhao Mansion now.
"Master, too many people have died in the past few days, Lao Litou's family, as well as the family of four subordinates, and even the mage, a total of more than a dozen people have died. I'm afraid there are really dirty things in the Zhao Mansion......"
The butler said tremblingly.
This incident is so terrifying that it has even caused a huge panic.
If it weren't for Zhao Yuanwai in order to cover up the "family ugliness", I am afraid that he would have reported to the official a long time ago.
It's just that this matter is too evil, and it is related to Zhao Yuanwai's "family ugliness", so it has dragged on until now.
But looking at this situation, if it continues to drag on, more people will die.
Zhao Yuanwai knew it.
Who have died in the past few days?
Maybe others don't know, but can he not know?
From the beginning, it was Lao Litou's family who died.
Lao Li Tou, Lao Li Tou's wife and children all died tragically in their homes in the side courtyard.
Zhao Yuanwai was furious and prepared to let the people of Zhao Mansion check themselves.
After all, Lao Li Tou is his servant.
In fact, a major homicide case like this should be reported to the police.
But Zhao Yuanwai insisted that he did not report to the official, but checked it himself.
It was because he vaguely felt that Lao Litou's death was related to the "family ugliness" of Zhao's mansion.
If Zhao Yuanwai is to report to the official, won't the ugliness be known all over the city?
Anyway, it's just some dead servants.
When the time comes, he will give some money, and the government will naturally be able to suppress it.
It's just that after a few days of self-examination, there were no clues, but people died one after another.
In addition to Lao Li Tou's family, there are four remaining subordinates one after another, and even the families of the four subordinates are all dead.
These four subordinates, Zhao Yuanwai knows it well.
It was the person who buried the body with Lao Li Tou at the beginning.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanwai felt as if there was a cold air rushing to his mind.
"Take that rebel to the living room. ”
Zhao Yuanwai gritted his teeth and ordered to the subordinate beside him.
"Yes, sir. ”
So, the servant left.
Zhao Yuanwai also came to the living room.
Soon, the servant came with a handsome young man, but pale, blind-eyed, and frail and decadent.
He is Zhao Yuanwai's son, Zhao Xiucai.
"Rebel, do you know you're wrong these days?"
Zhao Yuanwai gritted his teeth and stared at his son.
If it weren't for the fact that he only had such a son in front of him, Zhao Xiucai had done such a rebellious and ugly thing that corrupted human morality, he would have beaten Zhao Xiucai to death with a stick.
But he couldn't.
If he really killed his son, the Zhao family would be doomed.
"Wrong?"
Zhao Xiucai raised his head, his eyes seemed to exude a trace of cold light, and a trace of mockery appeared between the corners of his mouth: "Hahaha, they all say that fathers are kind and filial piety, but what about you? ”
"Even so, Yun Niang and I also abide by the etiquette. But what about you, old thing, you can't do it yourself, but you have to torture Yun Niang every day to satisfy your sick desires. Yun Niang was bruised all over her body, she came to ask me for help, if I didn't save her, she would be tortured to death by you. What was wrong with me, old thing, and it was you who was at fault!"
Zhao Xiucai seems to have completely let go.
Even the tone was extremely cold.
There is no greater mourning than death.
Living in Zhao Mansion and becoming Zhao Yuanwai's son may be the greatest sorrow of his life.
"Young master, don't talk about it......"
"Rebel, you rebel son is still unrepentant, isn't you just a woman? A lowly maid, I bought it for a few dozen taels of silver, even if she is killed, it is nothing. And what about you? The dignified son of Zhao Mansion, or a talented man, is expected to be famous in the future, but for the sake of a maid and a woman, he turned against me, and even did such a humiliating ugly thing, and now he still does not repent. I really want to beat you to death and send you to meet that lowly woman. ”
Zhao Yuanwai was very angry.
His son, for the sake of a woman and a maid, turned against him.
Even now, Zhao Xiucai has not repented.
This made Zhao Yuanwai very angry.
"Hehe, okay, you sent me down just to meet Yun Niang, I miss Yun Niang......"
Zhao Xiucai muttered in a low voice.
"Master, let's report to the official. This matter is too weird, it's not something we can handle, too many people have died, even you and the young master are ......"
Finally, the butler couldn't help but speak.
At this time, it was even related to the life and death of the Zhao family, and he, the old man of the Zhao Mansion, had to open his mouth to persuade him.
"Report to the police? Yes, report to the officer, we must find out the murderer. Even if it's really that, the government can let that die again......"
Zhao Yuanwai's eyes were red, and his expression was a little hideous.
Now he can't care about the ugliness of his family.
The affairs of the Zhao Mansion can no longer be covered!
The corners of Zhao Xiucai's mouth showed a strange smile: "Yun Niang, are you back?" Yes, you must be back, okay, you killed them well, kill all these people, and finally I can meet you......"
"Rebel, rebel! Someone, pull this rebel down and lock him up, you must not let him out without my order!"
Zhao Yuanwai clutched his chest, obviously angry.
His only son, now that he has become like this, he is also angry, but more of a heartache.
Zhao Xiucai was pulled down.
It's just that his laughter echoes throughout the living room, as if it is extremely eerie and terrifying, making people palpitate.
"Report to the official, go to the official now! By the way, take some more silver and go to the yamen to make some money. I remember that the prefect once mentioned that there was a special yamen in the prefect's yamen, called the Inhuman Division, which specialized in dealing with these strange cases. Even if that comes back, I can let her die again!"
Zhao Yuanwai's eyes were red, and his expression became distorted because of anger, which was very hideous and terrifying.
The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took the silver and hurried to the prefect's yamen.
