Hang Gengyuan was a little flustered. His extreme reaction made people feel suspicious.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Xiao Qi is not from the government office, so how can he arrest you? Besides, even if it is murder, there are many kinds of murder. If your servants offend you out of ignorance, even if they are beaten to death, others will not say anything." Lin Jun expressed his opinion.
Everyone agreed.
They were born into wealth and had many servants at home.
It was inevitable that some ignorant servants would make mistakes, such as beating, selling, or killing, and no one dared to say a word. Even if the matter was really reported to the government, the crime of murder would be reduced to four levels, and at most a fine would be imposed.
You can't sacrifice the lives of these masters for the sake of their servants, right?
Hang Gengyuan forced an ugly smile. "Who says it's not true? I don't know why he would think so of me. I have a family... What could possibly be so unbearable that I would have to kill someone? It's really inexplicable!"
Hang Gengyuan's heart was beating like thunder.
He did kill someone, not a slave, but the good girl he kept at home!
Once, he was drunk and wanted to find someone to serve him, so he asked the housekeeper to bring him in. Who knew that the girl was so shameless and actually refused to serve him?!
They eat and drink his food, but are unwilling to serve him!
He was drunk and had a strong grip, so he accidentally killed someone.
He was very scared at that time. The beautiful woman turned out to be extremely ugly when she died, which really made him feel unlucky. He felt uncomfortable for a long time. Later, he found a master to perform a ritual and he felt much better.
Two months ago, he happened to see a young woman again. The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old and looked very charming. She was completely different from the plain women in his house. He was interested and brought her home.
The woman was taking care of the half-grown child at the time, and she succeeded under his threat.
But who knew that the child was so ignorant that when he saw those expensive snacks and delicacies, he kept stuffing them into his mouth!
He accidentally choked to death!
After the boy died, the woman went berserk and even pulled out her hairpin to kill him. Such a vicious person, shouldn't she be taught a lesson? Who knew she would be so determined to die, struggling so hard, and ultimately losing her life...
However, he had already compensated the woman's husband's family. Because a child's life was involved, he gave them 500 taels...
I don’t know how many women and children I can buy.
But he didn't dare to say these things out loud, as he knew it was shameful.
"I think..." Qian Jialu, who had been silent the whole time, spoke thoughtfully, "Xiao Qi... has the heart of a knight. He might have learned about Hang Er's dissolute deeds from Brother Jing Mao, so he punished the evildoer... I suggest that we should be more careful in the future and not let him know about what we did in the past..."
For example, things like oppressing innocent people and seducing young ladies.
"Why should we be afraid of her!" Hang Gengyuan said angrily, "Besides, is he some good guy?! We are all the same, how can he be more noble than us? If he is really that clean, why would he stay with us?!"
"You can't say that... We're all just idle, and not everyone is as lustful as you. Take me for example..." Zhang Bingzhi said sheepishly, "Look at Xiao Qi's habits and you'll know. He's particularly fond of cleanliness. I'm afraid he just likes to have fun and doesn't like wine, women, or girls. And having fun doesn't prevent him from hating evil, right?"
