Dying in this way can be said to be a complete loss of face and dignity, and one will be scolded after death.
Of course, it is true that Liu Quezi is not a good person.
"Has the government investigated?" Ji Changying was quite curious about whether they had found out anything.
"How could we not investigate this? We did! We took Liu Quezi's body to the government office and had the coroner examine him. The result was that he was too excited and... he died."
Ji Fengshou looked a little embarrassed, as there were some things he really couldn't say to his daughter.
Ji Fengyi listened thoughtfully.
Is there really such a coincidence in this world?
He couldn't help but look at his niece, but he denied it after just one glance.
His niece is a grown-up girl, and even if she wants to deal with Liu Guizi, she can't use such means.
"I think it's retribution! Good thing he died! He was a scoundrel when he was alive, and he deserves to be scolded after he's dead!"
When Mrs. Hu heard about Liu Quezi's death, she felt very happy.
I heard that man had raped many young girls before, and now he got his comeuppance.
"I think so too. Those who do evil will eventually perish."
Ji Changying didn't ask for details when she saw the expression on her father's face.
It’s better to die anyway, so that there will be one less trouble.
——
Lin also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news of Liu Guizi's death.
It was worth it that she had been so humble and manipulative for so many days and secretly drugged him, and he finally died.
He died in that way in a brothel, and even if I suspected it, I wouldn't have guessed it was her.
Thinking of this, she felt both relieved and sad.
She was happy that she had escaped, but sad that she didn't expect that what saved her in the end was the secret tricks she had learned in the backyard.
But the thing has been done, she has to clean up the tail carefully.
Thinking that there was still a prescription left at home, Lin quickly picked out a few key ingredients, crushed them and threw them into the septic tank in the toilet.
He only kept the medicine he boiled for his abdominal pain and drank it directly.
From the moment she made up her mind to take action, she lied to others that she was not feeling well and had gotten some medicine. She scraped together enough medicine and coaxed Liu Quezi into taking it.
The only flaw...
Lin thought of Mo You who always accompanied Liu Guizi here, and her heart tightened.
——
The matter of Liu Quezi was discussed heatedly in the county for several days, but Liu Shugen never came back.
Instead, Han Dianshi found someone to hastily hide Liu Quezi in the Liu family cemetery without even holding a funeral.
Because I really have no face.
When many people who had been offended by Liu Guizi were eagerly waiting for Liu Shugen to come back to watch the show, the entire Liangzhou Prefecture, including the counties under it, received a notice.
"The busy farming season is over, and every household must send one person to the military camp for training."
When Ji Fengyi brought the news home, Ji Fengshou stood up without hesitation and patted his chest: "I'll go!"
"Of course you have to go, I'll go with you."
Ji Fengyi was pleased with his brother's initiative and understanding, and then spoke out his own plan.
When these words were spoken, the whole family was shocked.
"How can I let you go? I'm the eldest son, so it's natural for me to go. Besides, I'm not young anymore, and it's time for me to take on the responsibilities of the family."
Ji Mingxuan stepped forward with a firm tone.
"Big brother is the eldest son and has the responsibility to revitalize the family. Moreover, the county school has a heavy workload, and Big brother has always been at the top of his class. He and Xiaochuan are preparing for next year's imperial examinations. For both public and private reasons, we shouldn't delay this. I'm the most suitable person to handle this. I already know everything the private school teaches, and I'm just here to solidify my memory."
Ji Minghao calmly and rationally analyzed the pros and cons and tried to convince his father.
Mrs. Hu stood aside with a pale face.
With her husband on one side and her son on the other, she didn't know what to say. She would feel uneasy no matter who went.
Ji Changying hesitated to speak: "Can't we find someone to make some compromises? Can we just become a family?"
Ji Fengyi waved his hand: "Don't say anything, I have already decided that Fengshou and I will go."
"This is the border, not Qingzhou or Kyoto. War could break out here at any time. If every family shirks their responsibilities like we have, then when the enemy truly descends upon our city, who will fight for us? Who will defend us?"
"Besides, we're just training, not sending us to the battlefield, so there's no danger. No one in every household can escape, so don't worry. It's only three months, and we'll be back when the time is up."
Ji Fengyi looked confident, which made Mrs. Hu feel a little relieved. "Since he said so, then you two can go, uncle. You three should study hard. Next year's imperial examination is also a big deal."
Regardless of whether the Ji family can participate or not, it is always good to have a chance and hope.
After the family dispersed, Ji Changchuan still looked a little depressed.
He found Ji Changying and said, "Sister, don't you have a good relationship with Mr. Huang? Ask him to buy some more wound medicine for Dad and Uncle."
Seeing his worried look, Ji Changying couldn't help but flick his forehead. "You're so young, yet you act like an old man all day long. What are you worried about? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. You still have your parents and sister above you. It's not your turn to worry anyway."
Ji Changchuan sighed: "You don't understand."
"Then tell me, I'll understand once you tell me."
Ji Changchuan looked around and lowered his voice quietly: "I have a classmate whose father and brothers are both in the military camp. He overheard: There may be a war!"
"And all those who have been trained in previous years will go to the battlefield when war breaks out! It's not just training, these are all reserve troops! We're the only ones who don't know this because we're from outside. If you don't believe me, go around the village. Other families will definitely be arguing over who should go and who shouldn't!"
Ji Changchuan felt melancholy when he thought of Ji Fengshou who couldn't carry anything on his shoulders or hands and had to be carried by his mother on his way to exile.
He looked down at his hands.
His hands could be described as fair and tender, with nothing else except a few calluses from practicing calligraphy.
How much better is he than his father?
He was even his father's only son, and was under pressure from a group of elders. If he dared to speak up for his father, he would be severely scolded.
"Uncle, do you know?"
Ji Changying raised her eyebrows. She was not quite sure about this news, but her uncle taught at the county school, so there was no reason why Changchuan knew the news but he did not.
"He probably knew, but he didn't tell everyone just to make things easier for everyone."
Ji Changchuan saw through this and didn't reveal it in front of everyone.
"Okay, I understand."
Ji Changying nodded calmly.
She couldn't help but praise her brother: "My brother is really great. Not only did he find out the news from his classmates, but he also knew to consider the family. I am so relieved!"
Ji Changchuan couldn't help but smile: "That's right! I won't just study hard! I've made several friends and we're all having a great time."
