Chapter 563 Your Circle is Really Chaotic
Soon, only a few people were left in the inn lobby.
Lin Mo gave Qi Zhenghuan a thumbs up and said, "Okay, this method is quite cruel."
Expelling someone from the family tree is not a big deal, but crippling their hands and feet is like pushing them to death. Isn't that?
Even with this kind of punishment, there are still people who dare to betray. I'm afraid the promise made by the other party must be very big to make them betray.
Qi Zhenghuan remained calm and said, "The Qi family is large and prosperous, with countless branches.
If you don't have enough means, your subordinates will easily betray you.
Even though they are just servants, I tell you, the relationships behind them are deeply intertwined.”
Having said that, Qi Zhenghuan let out a breath and continued:
"Do you know why the main branch of the Qi family has so few members?
It is because these people were bribed that the children of the main branch kept encountering unexpected accidents.
Later, the Qi family came up with such a harsh punishment method, the purpose of which was to prevent these people from betraying easily."
Because his betrayal would directly affect his family, no one dared to betray easily.
Lin Mo grinned, "Your circle is really messy. Looking at your Qi family's melons, I'm afraid I can eat an extra bowl of rice."
Qi Zhenghuan raised his eyebrows, "Do you want someone to cook you another meal?"
"If it's convenient, I don't mind." Lin Mo smiled.
To be honest, she was a little hungry.
Qi Zhenghuan didn't expect that she was serious. His eyes fell on the empty plate on the table and he curled his lips. She really can eat.
He turned his head and looked at his confidant beside him, "Ask Lao Bai to make some food for Madam Xu and send it over."
After everyone left, Qi Zhenghuan shook his head at Lin Mo:
"Be careful not to eat too late, or you'll be full at night and unable to sleep."
"Absolutely not!" Lin Moyan said sternly.
She didn't even plan to sleep tonight, so why was she staying up all night?
She also wanted to eat enough so that she wouldn't be hungry and have to look for food when she did something bad at night.
Therefore, it is impossible to be so full that you can’t fall asleep.
The Song family has dug such a big hole for themselves. If she doesn't go and take a look, she will be unworthy of the handle that has been handed to her.
Qi Zhenghuan looked at Lin Mo with suspicion.
How could her expression give him the illusion that she was going to do something bad?
And at this moment, Qi Zhengfei came back.
He drank two cups of hot tea to warm up his body before speaking.
“Remember the big house I passed by when I entered town?
That was the house of Song Qiaoshan, a distant relative of the Song family, and all the sick people were in a thatched hut behind his house."
Speaking of this, Qi Zhengfei looked puzzled:
"The group just now weren't the worst hit. The worst hit were already boneless, but still hanging on, wanting to die but unable to. It was so creepy to watch, it was like hell on earth."
Qi Zhengfei has killed many people, but this is the first time.
He felt a little sorry for them and wanted to kill them immediately so that they wouldn't have to suffer any more.
Watching myself slowly turn into a pile of bones, it would be strange if I didn’t collapse.
Lin Mo lost her appetite instantly, her face gloomy:
"What about Songqiao Mountain? Have you tried going in there?"
"I went in, but the security inside was tight, with people constantly patrolling. I didn't dare to continue exploring because I was afraid of alerting them." Qi Zhengfei said seriously:
“However, in the southeast corner of the house, there is a separate house, and there is a guard every ten feet. Not even a fly can fly in.
I suspect the secret of this town is hidden in there. It's just a pity that I can't find a way in."
Lin Mo nodded and let him rest first.
Qi Zhenghuan, who was standing aside, had a sullen expression on his face. "The Song family is truly evil. I don't know what they're up to. They give me a very bad impression.
Madam Xu, we are outnumbered now and are not suitable to fight against them.
So as soon as tomorrow morning comes, we will leave here immediately.
As for the affairs of this town..."
Qi Zhenghuan paused and said, "I will then send an anonymous letter to an upright official in the court.
As for whether the court will send someone to investigate, that is not our business.
The Song family is the dominant force in this area, and the Qi family currently has no chance of winning against the Song family."
Lin Mo did not blame Qi Zhenghuan for wanting to stay out of the matter.
This is what normal people think.
After all, the Song family has been entrenched here for many years, and their power is intertwined and complex. Any move they make will affect the overall situation. Under the overall situation, the Qi family is indeed no match for them.
She nodded and said, "I'll listen to you. We'll leave at dawn tomorrow."
Qi Zhenghuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He was afraid that Madam Xu would confront the other party. Once her information was leaked, he might not be able to protect her with such a small number of people.
Seeing him relieved, Lin Mo chuckled:
"Master Qi, you are very nervous."
Qi Zhenghuan smiled bitterly, "Of course, if anything happens to you, I won't be able to explain to Yuancheng, and we might even end up in a fight to the death.
Your man is not easy to mess with. There is no need to, I don't want to confront him."
There weren't many people he didn't want to confront, but Xu Wuyan was on that list.
Lin Mo chuckled and shook his head in disapproval:
"What's so scary about him? He's just like you, with a pair of eyes, a nose, a mouth, and a pair of ears.
Master Qi, please calm down. He is just like us, an ordinary person."
Qi Zhenghuan glanced at her hesitantly and shook his head:
"It seems you really don't understand your man."
Seeing Lin Mo's bewilderment, Qi Zhenghuan said seriously:
"The Prince of Anping's palace will be confiscated and exiled. Besides the fact that his achievements are so great that they threaten the emperor, the most important thing is that both father and son are people of extraordinary wisdom and strategy.
He may not have told you about the methods he used when he went to war with Prince Anping. He killed his enemies so hard that they trembled with fear, and he never showed mercy.
Therefore, the emperor was very uneasy, fearing that they would seize his throne. Because if they really had this idea, I am afraid that everyone would respond to it."
How could he afford to offend such a ruthless person who combines wisdom, courage and cruelty?
Lin Mo raised her eyebrows. Old Xu has such a scary side?
But thinking about my previous life, it seemed like that.
And in this life, well, it was all because she was too proactive and took on too much responsibility, leaving him no chance to show himself.
Just as the two were discussing who Xu Wuyan was, Qi Zhenghuan's confidant dragged Qi Ming back covered in blood.
"Master, Qi Ming has confessed."
After saying that, he threw Qi Ming to the ground and stepped aside.
"Speak." Qi Zhenghuan cast cold eyes on Qi Ming.
"Yes, Eighth Master." Qi Ming's voice was a little slow. After he exhaled, he slowly told everything.
It's just a bloody story anyway.
Seeing that Qi Zhenghuan has been gentler recently, the eighth master of the Qi family has become more ambitious.
He bribed Qi Ming with a large sum of money and threats, and deliberately asked Qi Ming to conceal the affairs of Anhe Town. Then he wanted to use this matter of Anhe Town to destroy Qi Zhenghuan.
Once Qi Zhenghuan contracts this disease, the position of head of the Qi family will definitely fall to someone else.
The internal strife in the Qi family is so fierce that it always seems like they are climbing up by stepping on the corpses of their brothers and uncles.
The main branch of the Qi family is not very prosperous now. Apart from Qi Zhenghuan who is very strong-willed, the others are either children or people who cannot afford to pay.
Mr. Qi Ba has a clear plan. He is the most powerful member of the Qi family except Qi Zhenghuan.
As long as Qi Zhenghuan is eliminated, the entire Qi family will fall into his hands.
After Qi Ming finished speaking, he looked at Qi Zhenghuan with red eyes:
"Master, I know I was wrong. Please let my parents go. They didn't do anything to offend you. All the mistakes are my fault. Please give them a chance to live."
Qi Zhenghuan said indifferently, "Qi Ming, please let me let your parents go.
Have you ever thought about this: after something happens to me, who will let those children from the main branch of the Qi family go?
I have set up family rules long ago. We must do what we should do and will never tolerate anything.
Drag it down."
Qi Zhenghuan's confidant immediately stepped forward and dragged Qi Ming away, and his wailing was directly blocked by a piece of rags.
None of Qi Zhenghuan's men sympathized with him.
The patriarch gave them a very high monthly salary, yet he actually betrayed the patriarch. This outcome was entirely his own fault.
"I'm sorry to embarrass you." Qi Zhenghuan looked at Lin Mo with a serious face.
Lin Mo shook his head, "No.
Okay, the show is over, go to bed early."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the second floor.
"The food isn't ready yet. Are you sure you don't want to eat?"
"I must eat it. Please have it delivered to my room when it's ready. Thank you." Lin Mo said lazily.
Qi Zhenghuan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He really was good at ordering people around.
…
late at night.
Everything was quiet and everyone slept soundly in the cold snowy night.
After Lin Mo got up from the bed, he entered the space and then quietly left the guest room where he was staying.
During the entire process, she did not make any noise and was as quiet as could be.
There was no way, Qinglian and Qi Zhengfei lived next to his guest room, one on the left and one on the right, like two door gods.
If there was any noise, these two people would probably rush out immediately.
Originally, Qinglian had no plans to sleep and wanted to stay in the house to guard herself because she was afraid that someone would attack her in the middle of the night.
Are you kidding? How can I get out if she is guarding me?
After much persuasion, I finally managed to get her to sleep in the next room.
So, no more problems can occur at this time.
When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the innkeeper and the waiter, who were beaten black and blue, were thrown into a corner, while the three people from the Qi family who were on guard were sitting around a brazier, warming themselves by the fire and talking in low voices.
Lin Mo left through the back door.
After leaving the inn, she immediately used the space to head straight to Song Qiaoshan's house outside the town.
She went to the back of the house first.
The scene that came into his eyes made Lin Mo's eyes turn bloodshot.
Qi Zhengfei didn't finish describing the evil here.
In such cold weather, there is only a simple thatched hut, and the only way to keep warm is with a few fires, without even a decent blanket.
Let’s not talk about their physical condition for now. Even normal people would find it difficult to endure this kind of weather, let alone those who are seriously ill.
They made these people neither human nor ghost, and neither allowed them to die nor provided them with a better living environment.
So, what is the Song family planning to do?
Lin Mo's face was terribly gloomy. She suspected that the Song family was planning a big conspiracy.
All the answers are probably hidden in this house.
If I don’t go in and explore, I’d feel really sorry for this trip.
Lin Mo turned around and drove the space to quickly move towards the house next door.
