The next day, at dawn, Mr. Xiao, like a ghost, plundered all the cash from all the stores under his name, regardless of the future fate of these stores. Then, he disappeared without a trace...
People in the world are like this. They flock to the excitement like a duck, and after a few days, they seem to forget about it until it is replaced by another excitement, and then forget about it, and so on.
Lanling has returned to its former peace, which seems to be brewing the final storm...
Seiran Academy.
"Master, my subordinates found out that Mr. Xiao was hiding with the woman named Jiang whom he raised outside."
He Hong was not idle during this period. Xiao Wenjun found him a cheap master and practiced martial arts with Wang Jiuyuan every day. His martial arts became increasingly sophisticated, and his ability to climb over walls was also very good.
"Well! How is the news outside now?" Xiao Wenjun frowned slightly, why do you like to climb over the wall so much?
"Shopkeeper Chen of Yuxing Pawnshop is looking for Third Master now, and has issued a reward in the city. Anyone who can provide information about Third Master Xiao will be rewarded fifty taels of silver. If he can help catch the person, he will be rewarded with an additional ten thousand taels!"
"Shopkeeper Chen is really stingy. After all, Mr. Xiao mortgaged four million taels and only offered a reward of 10,000 taels." Xiao Wenjun curled his lips disdainfully.
"The owner of Yuxing Pawn Shop is the eldest prince. The eldest prince takes money very seriously. It is not easy for shopkeeper Chen to come up with ten thousand taels." He Hong touched his nose and thought to himself, who can compare with a rich woman like you?
"Look for an opportunity to let Jiang know about the reward." Xiao Wenjun said calmly.
"yes!"
"What's going on with the shops owned by Sanfang?"
"The shops under the name of Third Master and Mr. Li have all been closed, and shopkeeper Chen's people are watching the shops around them every day."
"Well, it's time to take it back. You go down first!"
…
When Mrs. Jiang returned to the yard she had entered from the second time, carrying a basket of meat and vegetables, she was startled by Mr. Xiao who was hiding behind the door.
"Ouch!" Jiang said, holding his chest, "Master, what are you doing?"
Mr. Xiao had a sullen face, ignored him, and went back to the room alone.
During lunch, Mrs. Jiang prepared a table of good wine and food, set out the bowls and chopsticks, and went to invite Mr. Xiao in person.
"Master, you haven't been here for a long time, do you think these meals are to your taste?" Jiang smiled and poured a glass of wine for Mr. Xiao, and continued: "This wine was saved by you last time."
Mr. Jiang said a lot of nonsense, but Mr. Xiao didn't say anything, he just hummed a few times.
Thinking of the news she heard when she went out today, Mrs. Jiang couldn't hold back her anger. She threw her chopsticks on the table and said loudly: "Master, you haven't been here for many days. I know that you are busy with things, so why don't you come to me?"
Dare to blame."
"But you didn't say hello when you came, and you didn't say anything to me. After all, you also took thousands of taels from me. Is the business profitable or losing? You have to give me an explanation? Why are you silent?
What do you mean?"
Mr. Xiao was already suffocating in his heart, and he was frightened and angry because he was hiding from debt collectors. He urgently needed to find an outlet. Jiang's aggressive attitude just hit Mr. Xiao's gun.
"It's money all day long, money! You eat my things, wear my things, use my things, and yet you have the nerve to ask for money from me! Now I'm telling you, it's gone, it's all gone! You can't even think of getting a penny from it.
I’ll get it from here!”
Mr. Xiao's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were fierce. He lifted the table violently and all the cups and dishes on the table fell to the ground and broke into pieces!
Jiang's face turned pale in fright at Mr. Xiao's sudden madness, which further confirmed the suspicion in her heart. She rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "Why do you have to be so angry, sir? I just spoke in a hurry."
"You and I are one, how could I ask you for money?" Mrs. Jiang poured a glass of wine herself, served it in front of Mr. Xiao, and continued to say with a smile: "Master, drink this glass of wine to calm down your anger."
When Mr. Xiao saw Jiang being so well-behaved, he felt that he was in the wrong, but he couldn't keep his face down, so he drank the wine poured by Jiang and prepared to go back to his room and lie down.
When the third master was splashed with cold water and woke up, he found that he was tied up by Wuhua Da. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mr. Jiang holding a basin of cold water and wanted to pour another basin.
"You shrew, what do you want to do?" Mr. Xiao was soaked to the skin and shivering from the cold. Suddenly he remembered that rainy night and he had nothing!
"I didn't want to be like this originally, it's all because of you, Master!" Jiang laughed softly, squatted down, looked directly at Mr. Xiao and continued.
"I hide in my shabby little courtyard every day, don't you know what's going on outside? Just tell them that you are here with me, what do you think will happen to you?"
"You just want money, right? I'll give you back those few thousand taels of your money. Why tie up your husband?" Mr. Xiao heard the meaning of Jiang's words and said softly.
"Master, be more confident! Your life is worth more than a few thousand taels right now!" Jiang's eyes flashed with disgust, but his voice was so gentle that it could make water drop.
Mr. Xiao felt a chill, and it seemed that he could no longer be kind, so he said: "How much money do you want? There are ten thousand taels of silver notes under the bed board in my room, take all of them, and the rest...
"
"How about the rest?" Jiang's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly.
"You let me go first. You and I are one husband and wife. As long as we live a good life, isn't my money yours?" Mr. Xiao said with a flattering smile, "Madam, please untie me quickly."
Jiang is only in her twenties this year. Although she is a girl from a good family, she is not valued by her family. She also relies on her beauty and thinks that just like what is written in the story book, she can fly on a branch and become a phoenix. At worst, she can become a phoenix.
A concubine from a wealthy family.
Now that Mr. Xiao has given in, Jiang's greed has emerged again. He will first get Mr. Xiao's money, and then sell the news. With this money, he will be secure for the rest of his life.
With money, you can marry into a good family.
Therefore, Jiang did not completely untie Master Xiao, but only tied his hands.
When Mr. Jiang lowered his head to look for some money, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. Then his vision went dark and he passed out.
It turned out that Mr. Xiao secretly untied half of the rope in his hand while talking to Mr. Jiang, but Mr. Jiang only thought about winning money and ignored it.
Mr. Xiao checked Jiang's breathing and found that she was still breathing. When he was about to help her up, he found a dagger hidden in her sleeve!
Mr. Xiao's eyes turned even redder instantly. He grabbed the dagger and stabbed Jiang. He only heard Jiang scream and began to struggle crazily.
But Mr. Xiao was already furious at this moment. He grabbed a piece of rag and stuffed it into Jiang's mouth, stabbed him more than ten times, and blood spattered Mr. Xiao's face!
Licking the blood from the corner of his mouth, Mr. Xiao's expression was twisted, his eyes were horrifying, and he growled like a devil: "You ungrateful bitch..."
It wasn't until Jiang's family completely stopped moving that Mr. Xiao suddenly came back to his senses. The drug in his brain hit him again and he fell asleep again.
At this time, Xiao Wenjun, who was standing on the roof, saw everything, and immediately ordered He Hong behind him: "Take all the money in the Qianjiang family's yard, don't leave a penny behind!"
