Su Huaihai seems to have really died
Tiedan, a small henchman under his command, whispered in his ear, "This is Master Qi's order. We are just following his orders and taking the money. Boss, don't worry too much."
He was the one who initiated this deal. He had a relative who was from the same hometown as the steward of the Qi Mansion.
"Su Huaihai, you're such a corrupt official! The people who bought your head want you dead. We've taken the money and signed the agreement, so we can only send you to heaven to see the Buddha. There, you can sit down and sincerely repent for your crimes of corruption!"
The leading gangster took drastic measures. It seemed that only by mentioning that Su Huaihai exploited the people and squeezed their fat and blood did he have sufficient reason to kill.
Well, I'll just act like a hero and get rid of the evil for the people!
He swung the stick in his hand and smashed it hard on Su Huaihai's head. Fresh blood oozed out from a corner of the sack, and a faint smell of blood spread in the air.
After a while, the sack that had been squirming just now was no longer moving. "Boss, it seems Su Huaihai has really died."
"Open it and take a look." The leading gangster frowned with a serious expression.
Tiedan did as he was told, untied the knot at the bag's mouth, and probed Su Huaihai's breath with his knuckles. He said cheerfully, "Boss, we've done it. Su Huaihai has died."
"Find a place to bury him. Don't let his body lie exposed in the wilderness and be taken away by wild wolves and dogs."
This was the first time for the gang leader to deal in human lives. Before this, his hands had never been stained with blood, and he owed a debt of life. This time, he was instigated by his brothers, and he also had to support a group of people in Changfeng Village.
Working under him, he has the obligation to find a livelihood and a way to make a living for everyone in Changfeng Village.
"Boss, this is what Su Huaihai deserves. Don't take it personally. You've done your best to give him a complete burial. If someone else had taken over this business, his body would have been thrown into some remote mountain, with no trace left."
Tiedan didn't think much of it. To him, Su Huaihai's disappearance was like an ant accidentally stepped on to death on the roadside.
"Stop talking nonsense and bury the man quickly!" The leading gangster was restless and uneasy after killing someone. He stopped Tiedan's inappropriate flattery in a deep voice.
Tiedan shut up and led a few people to dig a hole, buried Su Huaihai, and covered him with a pile of burnt leaves.
After the matter was settled, the black boss took Tiedan to find Qi Jinqian to report at the agreed time and place.
But the person who came was the steward of the Qi family. The black boss had never seen Qi Jinqian from beginning to end. The steward paid the full amount other than the deposit.
"Uncle Jin, keep in touch. The boss and I are leaving. Next time you have any good job, please inform me in time. All of us in Qingfeng Village are willing to serve." Tiedan had a bright smile on his face.
The bounty offered by the Qi Mansion was generous, and Tiedan and Hei Lao Da were both very satisfied, especially Tiedan. Killing Su Huaihai could be exchanged for a large sum of money, and he was very happy.
The housekeeper looked calm and composed, his words and manners sophisticated. "Tiedan, as long as Changfeng Village does everything perfectly, Sixth Master will send me to find you next time."
"Our boss has always done things cleanly and efficiently, and has never been caught by the government. You can rest assured about this, Uncle Jin." Tiedan patted his chest and vowed that they did a lot of sneaky things in the daily life, but had never been caught by the government.
Su Huaihai had not returned to the Su residence for several days, and Mrs. Su and Su Zhaoming were anxiously looking for him everywhere.
"Zhao Ming, where did your father go? He hasn't returned to the Su residence for three days!" Mrs. Su went out to look for him day and night. Su Huaihai had never been away from home for so long as today.
Even if he came home late, he would knock on the door of Su's house in the middle of the night.
However, the servants in the mansion had not received any knocks on the door for Su Huaihai's return home in the past few days, nor had they seen any trace of Su Huaihai.
Su Zhaoming, with dark circles under his eyes, knocked on the door of the Qi residence early in the morning and asked, "Excuse me, is my father here?"
The doorman of the Qi Mansion opened the door and shook his head, "Master Su is not in the Qi Mansion."
Su Zhaoming saw the doorman standing at the door, showing no intention of moving aside. "I have something to ask my sister, please let me go."
The doorman said, "The Sixth Madam has not been in the mansion recently. The Sixth Young Master has taken her out."
Hearing this, Su Zhaoming had another thought, "Did my father go with him?"
"I don't know the answer to this question. When you two return home, you will know everything." The doorman still shook his head.
Su Zhaoming suspected that Su Huaihai had also followed his sister and brother-in-law, otherwise it would be impossible for them to disappear at the same time. Feeling a little relieved, he went back to Donghu Academy to study.
However, Su Qingli, who was away from home, did not know that her father Su Huai had been in trouble. Qi Jinqian avoided meeting the mother and son of the Su family on the pretext of taking her out to relax.
"Sixth Master, now that Madam Six has returned home, this news will reach her ears sooner or later. What are your plans?"
Yinhan looked worried. Once Su Huaihai's death was reported to the police, it might be possible to solve the case by investigating. Those people in the yamen were not pushovers.
Qi Jinqian had his own strategy to prevent Su Qingli from reporting Su Huaihai to the authorities. He pursed his lips confidently and said with a wicked smile, "I have a way to frame someone and clear myself. I don't have to worry about Ah Li discovering Su Huaihai's death."
"I'm glad you can find a solution, Sixth Master. I'm afraid you and Sixth Madam will have a falling out. Given Sixth Madam's personality, if she knew you were the one who killed Master Su, she would probably hate you for the rest of her life and would rather die than leave the Qi Mansion."
Yinhan broke out in a cold sweat for Qi Jinqian. He didn't understand what his Sixth Master was planning and why he would take such a risk and secretly hire someone to kill Su Huaihai.
It is hateful that Su Huaihai always comes back to ask for money, but his Sixth Master can put the blame on the master like he did last time, saying that the money is under the control of the master. Su Huaihai has no choice but to leave in disgrace.
"Yinhan, go tell A'li that we should go back to the Qi Mansion, and I'll accompany her to visit." Having made up his mind, Qi Jinqian waited for Yinhan to invite Su Qingli over.
Yin Han bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I will do it right away."
Soon, Su Qingli came to the carriage, and Qi Jinqian was waiting outside the carriage for Su Qingli to arrive.
Three days of playtime passed by in a flash. Su Qingli came over with her skirt fluttering. "Jinqian, thank you for accompanying me out for a relaxing tour."
"I hereby request two more days of rest from Your Majesty, so that we can travel around the capital and enjoy the natural beauty of this vast world."
Qi Jinqian took Su Qingli out for a trip, but he found out that Tan Xi was most likely Fu Xuechen in disguise, so he didn't dare to meet him.
He had long suspected that this person had some connection with Fu Xuechen.
Until he learned about Liu Meishuang from Su Qingli some time ago, he had a secret affair with Liu Meishuang, confirming that Tan Xi was Fu Xuechen!
