Chapter 22: The Unwelcome Old Lady Xue



Three witnesses were brought to the lobby. All three of them were Qian Jia's former colleagues. However, at this moment, they all became the providers of evidence of Qian Jia's guilt.

Witness 1: "Sir, once when I was gambling with Qian Jia, I heard him complain that the master was playing with women in the house, and he could only guard the door for the master in the cold wind at night."

Witness 2: "Sir, I've heard this too. Qian Jia not only often complained to the master in private, but once even tried to get ahead of the old man and enjoy the concubine he had brought into the mansion. She refused to obey and died by hitting her head against the bedpost. Fearing the master's reprimand, Qian Jia lied and said the woman was too aggressive and committed suicide, and he got away with it."

The three witnesses talked about all the crimes Qian Jia had committed in the past, in order to prove that Qian Jia had long been resentful of the master and had committed unforgivable mistakes. He was afraid of being discovered by the master, so he killed him.

Qian Dazhi was furious when he heard this. He caught a glimpse of the sword slung over Guan Yue's waist from the corner of his eye. Furious, he drew out the sword and stabbed Qian Jia.

Bu!

The sound of a sword piercing a human body.

Qian Jia groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the sword that had not penetrated his chest, slowly raised his head, opened his mouth to say something, but a large amount of blood gushed out.

His head went limp and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"Ah!" This scene was really beyond everyone's expectation. The three witnesses who were speaking excitedly were so scared that they quickly crawled away.

The others also looked shocked.

Qian Dazhi came to his senses, suddenly loosened his grip, took a few steps back, fell into a chair, and stared in a daze at Qian Jia lying in a pool of blood.

At that moment, his reason was suppressed by anger, and he impulsively killed Qian Jia with a sword. However, he felt relieved at that time, but what should he do now?

He was not troubled by killing people. It was not like he had never killed people, in fact, he had killed quite a few people. It was just that he had always done it in private. Now he had killed someone in public. How was he going to explain it?

Qian Dazhi subconsciously looked at his brother-in-law, the county magistrate Cai Kuo, who was sitting at the top.

Cai Kuo glared at him unhappily. This brother-in-law only caused trouble for him!

"Why are you still standing there? Take the criminal Qian Jia away for treatment." In just a few words, he made a conclusion on the matter.

1. Qian Jia is a criminal.

2. Qian Jia is not dead yet, he is just seriously injured, so he needs treatment.

Everyone present was not blind and could clearly see that Qian Jia had died of suffocation, but Cai Kuo continued to lie with his eyes open and no one dared to refute him.

Immediately, two yamen runners came out and carried Qian Jia away.

I believe that soon there will be rumors that Qian Jia committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

As for the real murderer Qian Dazhi, he is naturally fine.

Guan Yue lowered his eyes, hiding the emotions in them.

How could the death of one lackey who assisted the tiger be enough? Sooner or later, he would send Qian Dazhi and Cai Kuo, the corrupt official, to meet the King of Hell.

Qian Dazhi was a celebrity in the surrounding area, although it was a bad reputation. Although Cai Kuo had issued a gag order on what happened in the county government, it still spread quickly and there were different versions of the story.

However, most people's attention was focused on the fact that "Qian Dazhi's offspring were destroyed."

No one dared to say anything openly, but they applauded in private, thinking that he deserved it.

"Now that the Qian guy has become a eunuch, even if he wanted to ruin the daughters of good families, he is powerless." Many families with daughters secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, they were relieved too early.

Even without that harmful thing, Qian Dazhi still has many ways to mess with people.

Or perhaps it was precisely because he became a eunuch that Qian Dazhi became even more cruel and crazy.

In the Qian family mansion, for several consecutive days, the bodies of women who had been mutilated beyond recognition were secretly carried out and thrown into a mass grave.

Before long, Qian Dazhi felt that his backyard was too empty and there were few people playing there.

At this time, he thought of Xue's mother again. He was chased out by the big black dog of the Xue family that day and made a big fool of himself. He had not yet caused trouble to the Xue family, but now was the perfect time to make up for it.

However, his brother-in-law told him to keep a low profile recently. After all, the incident with Qian Jia had just passed, so Qian Dazhi couldn't send anyone to openly snatch Xue's mother away.

By the way, it’s not just that Xue Yang, her eldest daughter is even prettier than her mother. We should snatch both mother and daughter away and enjoy them together!

The more Qian Dazhi thought about it, the more excited he became. It seemed that the parts of his body that had been disabled had started to respond.

But how do we get people here?

The housekeeper offered him advice: "Master, have you forgotten that greedy old lady from the Xue family? I think it would be better to hand this matter over to her. If anything goes wrong, we can put the blame on her."

Qian Dazhi rubbed his chin and said, "Well, send someone to call that old man over."

Old Mrs. Xue was cursing and throwing things at home, her resentment almost turning into reality. Why? Wasn't it because all the money and belongings in the house were stolen?

During this period, the Xue family was in a gloomy and depressed atmosphere, and countless quarrels broke out during this period.

The first and third wives had always been at odds with each other, and now they couldn't even maintain superficial peace.

And the old lady Xue, who used to be high and mighty and domineering, can no longer hold her head up.

Before, she had a lot of money in her hands, and the people in the first and third wives needed to please her, hoping to get money from her so that their own families could live better.

With this purpose in mind, no matter how dissatisfied the people in the two rooms were with her, they would not show it. But now, she has no money, so who would have the patience to serve her?

Old Mrs. Xue's status in the family plummeted.

She went to her two sons and cried to them, but the eldest and third sons acted like filial sons in front of her, but turned a deaf ear to her words.

Old Mrs. Xue was filled with hatred!

But what she hated was not her two spoiled sons, but her two daughters-in-law. She thought it was them who led her two good sons astray, and she kept complaining about them in the house.

However, no matter how much you curse, you still have to eat.

But the food now is much worse than before. In the past, the first and third wives would give her some food from time to time, including meat, but what about now?

She has been eating porridge and pickles for three days!

It would be fine if they just ate porridge and pickles, but the first and third wives hid in their rooms and secretly ate delicious food. Don't think that she didn't know because she closed the door tightly, the smell could be smelled!

The more Mrs. Xue thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't drink the porridge in her hand no matter what. She walked out of the room and went to the east room where she lived in the main house, and slammed the door.

After a while, the eldest daughter-in-law Chen's voice came from inside: "Mom, what's wrong? I've already gone to bed. Let's talk about it tomorrow."

After saying this, he stopped responding.

No matter how hard Old Lady Xue knocked on the door, the people inside looked as if they were dead.

Old Mrs. Xue stood outside the door with a gloomy face, "Boss, come out, I have something to tell you."
