Although some things were rescued, the casualties were even more severe.
Moreover, this man-made disaster caused heavy losses to Tianfeng Trading Company!
When Li Qingluo heard the news that night, he apparently left in a hurry, but in order to catch Zong Zheng Wuheng and make him reveal his true identity, he really did not come back in person immediately.
Only let Nanny Zheng enter the city to stabilize the situation.
Zong Zheng Wuheng is dead now, but the anger in Li Qingluo's heart not only did not dissipate, but it became more and more intense.
"This bastard!"
"It's really a cheap death for him!"
Property is fine, but in his eyes, these living lives are not even as valuable as grass and ants.
Li Qingluo, who had just returned to Huaxie Restaurant from Wangzhen Tower, was flipping through a booklet when he slammed his palm on the table in anger.
The table was wobbling and almost collapsing.
Madam Zheng quickly came up to support her: "Don't be angry, young lady."
"He has done so many evil things, he will go to hell when he goes to the underworld."
"You're not even worthy of being reduced to an animal!"
Li Qingluo felt better when he recalled the underworld he had visited before.
The account cannot be settled.
"Where are the people?"
"Have the injured and the families of the deceased been comforted?"
"Madam, you must tell them in person that no matter what the consequences, we at Wangzhenlou will never shirk responsibility."
"If the compensation due is more than the law requires, then ten times the annual amount shall be paid."
"As long as the doctor doesn't give up, we will treat those who need treatment, no matter how much it costs."
"Even if they recover from their injuries, we will keep them if they can come back. For those who can't come back to work, we will give them enough money to settle down for the rest of their lives."
"Tell them not to worry about the medical fees and just focus on treating the injuries."
"Someone died in the family... Madam, you must give more and comfort them."
Just as Li Qingluo was speaking, there was a noise coming from downstairs.
Que'er came in from outside: "Girl, it's that dead Chun'er... His family is here to make trouble again."
Li Qingluo was very surprised: "Noisy?"
"Again?"
"What's the commotion?"
"Is this Chun'er the girl who usually serves tea and water to the second shopkeeper?"
Madam Zheng quickly explained: "Yes, young lady, it's Chun'er."
"When Chun'er died yesterday, his family was already in a commotion."
"The whole family, young and old, were all rolling around at the door in plain clothes!"
"They were talking about how our Wangzhenlou killed her eldest daughter. We raised her for sixteen or seventeen years and finally found a good time for her marriage. She might have become the wife of the top scholar, but now she was burned to death, bringing disaster to both families."
"You hadn't returned yet, and you hadn't given any instructions, but I had already paid them a lot of money."
"If you calculate it, it's not far from the number you mentioned, young lady. It's already a huge fortune for their family."
"This is more than Chun'er's lifetime wages. Even if they marry Chun'er off, they won't get even one-tenth of the bride price."
"Now they're targeting us and causing trouble. Even though it would be a shame if someone died, it doesn't look like this family is truly sad for Chun'er."
"Look, old servant, they are just greedy. They treat their own daughter as a leech, and now they want to get rich off our Wangzhenlou!"
Que'er agreed with Madam Zheng's words: "Miss, we can't just let them hold us captive. We should just give them whatever they want."
"Then if the families of the other deceased colleagues follow suit, will our Wangzhenlou ever be in trouble?"
Li Qingluo's expression darkened. "What's worse, when they see their family getting more money, they become jealous and kill their family members who could have survived—"
Li Qingluo didn't finish his words.
But Que'er and Aunt Deng both turned pale when they heard this.
"This...isn't this too cruel?"
Que'er just felt unbelievable.
"Is there really such a family in this world?"
Aunt Deng was used to it. "In this world, the least valuable thing is human life."
"If a family finally manages to turn their lives around and live a worry-free life, and someone dies who might become a burden to the family... who wouldn't choose the greater good?"
"Even worse, what if some foolish person chooses to commit suicide in order to make life better for their family?"
The birds didn't dare to speak.
I just feel that the evil and stupidity of human nature have been fully revealed by this incident.
Li Qingluo: "It seems I was wrong."
"Desire is insatiable. I can't feed their appetite too much."
"Ten times the compensation is a touchstone of humanity for them."
"What should be more valuable is human life."
Li Qingluo, having thought it through, quickly stood up and said, "Let's go. Let me see for myself this family that feeds on the flesh of the living dead."
Wangzhen Tower was burned down, so Li Qingluo is now dealing with this matter in Huaxie Restaurant.
Naturally, Chun'er's family was also causing trouble outside the Huaxie Restaurant.
On the way downstairs, Li Qingluo asked some more questions about Chun'er.
What I am most curious about is how Chun'er became the wife of the top scholar?
Madam Deng said, "I have checked everything. Chun'er was engaged when she was young. The man she was supposed to marry was her cousin who she grew up with."
"This cousin has been studying since he was young. At the age of fourteen, he actually passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He is definitely a good student."
"But perhaps it's because of arrogance that all these years have passed, and he's still just a scholar."
"I'm already nineteen, and I'm not even a Juren. I don't know how far I'm from becoming a scholar."
