Chapter 401: Putting things to rest and settling the storm

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi, two cousins, fought over each other for favor. In the end, both of them died. The servants were furious when they saw this.

"It's killing, it's dead!"

"My mother!"

"Blood……"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the servants tried to break away and escape.

As soon as the principal saw the servants, he was about to scatter. He immediately shouted and asked the soldiers to stop them all.

The soldiers struck quickly, stabbing him with spears like a forest. The servants had nowhere to escape and had no choice but to be captured.

The soldiers quickly subdued the servants and prepared to take him back to the government office for interrogation.

The principal turned around and said to the other servants: "Don't even think about escaping. This matter has something to do with you. Go back and interrogate them one by one, and don't let anyone go!"

They were killed in a street fight, a life-threatening lawsuit was filed, and one of them was stabbed to death by his own men. How could they be allowed to break up like this?

The servants lowered their heads one after another, fearful and uneasy in their hearts.

They knew that this incident had attracted the attention of the government, and they could not escape their involvement.

"Hold your head and squat down!"

"How dare you run!" The wolf-like soldiers stepped forward and kicked the servants who were trying to escape, knocking them off their feet and making them all scream in agony.

"Listen carefully, you have all seen what happened just now with your own eyes. Cui Qi was holding a sharp knife. He first assassinated his cousin Cui Guanshi, and then tried to assassinate the soldiers patrolling the street. We had no choice but to take action. Everything

All actions were in self-defense. Thugs like Cui Qi are stubborn and vicious. Killing him is to eliminate harm to the people, right?"

"Yes!" Someone among the servants took the lead and shouted.

As soon as he shouted, the rest of the servants also followed suit, while Cui Qi's direct descendants bowed their heads and remained silent.

Soon, Cui Guanshi's subordinates came forward: "Your Excellency, you have to make the decision for our Cui Guanshi! He, he, and he are all subordinates of the murderer Cui Qi, and they have nothing to do with this matter."

The principal was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered his men to capture Cui Qi's men and tie them up tightly. No matter how much they begged for mercy, it was of no avail.

In Lou Mansion, Lou Langjun's concubine is carefully massaging her master's round belly.

Lou Langjun leaned lazily on the bed, eyes slightly closed, enjoying this quiet and comfortable time.

Cui Qi asked to see him just now, which disturbed his clear dream, which made him a little angry.

I wanted to hug my concubine and be gentle with her, but I felt my waist was sore and my legs were weak, so I had no choice but to give up.

Suddenly, there were bursts of shouts of death coming from outside the house, breaking the quiet night.

Lou Langjun frowned and suddenly opened his eyes, showing a horrified look.

"Go and see, what happened?" he ordered.

The concubine got up in a hurry and asked her servants to run out to investigate.

Lou Langjun changed his clothes with the help of his concubine with a worried look on his face.

Soon, the servant ran back in a panic and reported breathlessly: "Young Master, something big happened! Manager Cui and Cui Qi had a fight and both died."

Lou Langjun's expression changed and he looked at the servant in shock. He tried to stay calm, but his heart was in turmoil: "Is this serious?"

"It's absolutely true!"

"You go down!"

As soon as the servant left, Lou Langjun was so anxious that he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find the secret letter written by his wife. The concubine knew that no mistakes could be made at the critical moment, so she hurriedly helped him find it.

They searched every corner of the room and finally found the letter on a bookshelf.

The concubine couldn't wait to reach out and open the envelope first, but was slapped by Lou Langjun.

She was stunned and looked at her master in disbelief.

Lou Langjun yelled a little rudely: "Why are you tampering with this! This letter is a key piece of evidence and cannot be tampered with!"

The concubine covered her cheek in grievance and stepped aside.

Lou Langjun opened the secret letter carefully, but what he saw in front of him shocked him.

The originally dense writing turned into a blank piece of paper!

His eyes widened in horror, holding the letter in his hand, at a loss.

At this time, there was a noise outside the house, and it was the principal leading the soldiers into the Lou Mansion.

Lou Langjun saw that something was not going well and quickly got up to greet him.

He forced a smile on his face, but his tone was a little trembling: "I wonder what you are doing here late at night?"

He is pretending to be confused while concealing his understanding.

The little schoolmaster saw Li with his hands crossed, and said with a smile: "I really don't dare to bother Mr. Lou late at night, but I have to trouble Mr. Lou."

Immediately, I will tell you the story of how Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi both died in a fight.

Lou Langjun pretended to be shocked and said that he didn't know about it at all and that even the fight between the two people had nothing to do with him.

The principal laughed but did not answer. Lou Langjun knew full well that this was a way to catch him.

He was so anxious that he continued to speak bravely: "Although Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi are blood cousins, they have always been at odds with each other. All the family members in the house can testify to this. I wonder why the two of them had something to do with each other.

They quarreled so much that sharp weapons were used.”

He winked, and the concubine beside him understood and immediately turned around and left.

After a while, twenty copper coins were brought on a tray. They were all covered with red cloth and weighed a lot. The concubine was so tired that her forehead was dripping with sweat.

Lou Langjun stepped forward to take the tray, placed it on the table, and said in a low voice: "Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi are my servants after all. I have troubled you and all the brothers with this matter. It is not respectful."

The principal's eyes narrowed and he smiled. The Lou family's strength was beyond the reach of a small person like him. He came here just to sell a favor and get some money. When he saw that his goal was achieved, he immediately intervened.

"How did this happen? We also patrolled the streets late at night and happened to find it. Fortunately, Cui Qi was killed by my men in time, so that it would not cause a bigger disaster and save Lou Langjun a headache in the future.

no?"

"Brothers, you protect the country and the people, and eliminate harm for the people, so that we can have this peaceful day. Cui Qiping has been leading a bunch of thugs everywhere, using my name to bully men and women. This time it is over.

It’s a good thing.”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the primary school led people away.

After all, Cui Qi and Cui Guanshi died abnormally, and they were brought back to the Yamen as usual.

Due to Lou Langjun's face and the 20 guan favor fee, the onlookers did not need to arrest all the servants for questioning, only a few leaders were selected.

As soon as the door closed, Lou Langjun sat down, feeling as if he was exhausted. The concubine hurriedly stepped forward and beat his shoulders to help him relieve his fatigue.

When Lou Langjun thought about this incident, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

Just as Cui Qi expressed his sincerity to him, he was killed by his cousin on the back. What a coincidence.

Seeing that Mr. Lou was deep in thought, the concubine left him and went to serve tea. After a while, she came back with money.

"Mr. Lang, this is the newly acquired tea. Please try it." The corners of the concubine's mouth slightly curled up and she gently placed the teacup on the desk.

Lou Langjun sweated a lot, he was indeed thirsty. He picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then frowned.

"This letter...how did it become a blank piece of paper?"

The piece of paper Cui Qi brought with Madam's affectionate writing on it was now a blank piece of paper.

The concubine said: "It must be Cui Qi who is playing tricks on you."

Lou Langjun said nonchalantly: "No, Cui Qiyi is attached to me and would never dare to do such a thing. There must be someone behind the scenes."
