Chapter 263 The True Rong of the White Dragon King
The old woman clutched the handkerchief tightly and seemed unwilling to speak no matter what.
Xu Qinghuan said: "The old lady Xie's father, Zhou Wei, was the only heir of the Zhou family. He had to take care of two families and marry two wives. One year, there was a famine in Changzhou. Their family moved to Suzhou to avoid the disaster. The Zhou family was affected by the disaster.
They were separated, and there has been no news about Zhou Wei’s wife and children in the other room since then.
The person on the tablet is Zhou Wei’s daughter-in-law from another room, the one who was abandoned by the Zhou family in the famine.”
The old woman's lips were pursed tightly, and her nose trembled uncontrollably.
Xu Qinghuan looked at the old woman: "Mother Ge who was beside Mrs.
It can end like this, don’t you think?”
The old woman is a well-known stable woman, everyone calls her Mrs. Yang. She moved to Jiangyin a few years ago. She has no relatives or children around her. She lives alone in a small yard. Unless she is called to work, she rarely goes out.
Something happened to the Xie family in the past two days. Mrs. Yang was uncharacteristically going to the street every day to watch the excitement.
Especially when Mrs. Xie was paraded through the streets, Mrs. Yang would never miss it. She would follow the crowd and hit Old Mrs. Xie with the rotten vegetable leaves in her hand.
The people who had been rescued by the government from the Japanese fortune ship gathered in front of Xie's house and asked for an explanation. Mr. Xie was too frightened to go out. Even the elders of the Xie family were afraid of being implicated, so they quickly came out to take charge of the overall situation and helped the Yamen to interrogate Xie.
Regarding the old lady's matter, she looked like she was exterminating her relatives for the sake of justice.
Mrs. Yang felt extremely happy looking at it. She also knew that she shouldn't get close to her, as this would easily expose her identity to others, but she just couldn't control it. The hatred she had felt for many years was finally relieved today, so she didn't want to see it with her own eyes.
She couldn't accept it no matter what.
And she was not only doing it for herself, but also for the dead Wuniang and Mama Ge.
Poor Mother Ge, who had to stay by the side of Mrs.
She didn't even set up a wooden sign. She didn't want to live any more anyway, so after finishing these things, she simply burned some paper while it was getting dark. It was about that time that she was targeted by the Xu family.
Mrs. Yang looked at Xu Qinghuan and said, "Mrs. Xie, when they did bad things, why didn't anyone catch them, but now they want to attack us?"
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "The grudge between you and Old Mrs.
Don’t you want what she did to be revealed to the world and let everyone know that uncovering the truth is the only way to redress the injustice of the deceased? You probably don’t know it, but even now Mrs. Xie refuses to admit that she harmed you.”
Hearing Xu Qinghuan's words, Mrs. Yang's eyes were full of resentment, and an excited look appeared on her face. Although it passed briefly, it was enough for Xu Qinghuan.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "You dare not say it, but you are afraid of being accused."
Mrs. Yang sneered: "I'm not even afraid of death, so why would I care about this."
Xu Qinghuan said: "In that case, what do you have to worry about? If you have not violated the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, the court will naturally not care about you. If not, you will be punished accordingly, which is fair."
Mrs. Yang spoke after a moment: "What exactly do you want to know?"
Xu Qinghuan said: "What happened back then, how did Zhou Wei and Mrs. Xie kill people."
"Do you really want to hear it?" Mrs. Yang suddenly smiled and stared at Xu Qinghuan closely, "You are a pampered young lady who has never suffered too much. I don't know how terrible it can be for people to be bad."
After Mrs. Yang said this, her eyes moved slightly, as if she remembered what happened back then. If those experiences hadn't been so terrible, she wouldn't still be able to remember them so freshly now.
Mrs. Yang said: "Although Zhou Wei had two houses, he had a deep conscience. In order to save one house in times of crisis, he took away all the food rations of his wife and children in the other house."
Mrs. Yang smiled slightly when she said this: "You will definitely feel that even though they took away the food, they didn't do anything. But you don't know that without food we can't move forward and we can only wait to die."
The plague is followed by famine, and people are red-eyed, and everyone wants to survive."
Xu Qinghuan said: "You also want to live."
"That's right," Mrs. Yang gritted her teeth, "Hunger will turn people into beasts. They cannot survive and can only be used as food."
When Granny Yang said this, Feng Chu couldn't help but shudder.
Xu Qinghuan thought of a few words: Yizi and food. Such things do happen during times of famine.
Mrs. Yang said: "It's just because something like this happened that they left us. Wu Niang and the others disappeared at that time. They knew they couldn't survive when they got sick, so they chose to stay and let us leave until
Now I still remember their desperate looks."
Everyone in the room fell silent.
Xu Qinghuan seemed to be able to see such a desperate scene before his eyes.
Mrs. Xie longed for wealth and glory in her heart so much that she deceived herself into thinking that Zhou Wei's wife didn't know what they had done back then.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Why did you leave Da Zhou after you escaped?"
Mrs. Yang shook her head: "We didn't want to leave, but were captured by the Japanese pirates. As soon as we came out of the tiger's den, we entered the wolf's den again. Those Japanese pirates captured the refugees and enslaved them. We finally escaped from the hands of the Japanese pirates. From then on, we drifted on the sea and lived a life of survival.
, thanks to my master’s plan, he was able to find an island to live in. Even so, he didn’t live in a stable life until my master became the White Dragon King, and everything turned around.”
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "No, the White Dragon King is not someone who can suddenly do it. The White Dragon King is someone else. You are just chess pieces in the hands of the White Dragon King."
Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered: "Why not? My master is the White Dragon King."
Xu Qinghuan said: "What the White Dragon King wants is everyone's respect and a superior status. What he seeks is definitely not a stable life, nor is he seeking revenge on a little old lady Xie, so you can't be the White Dragon King.
"
Mrs. Yang's hand trembled.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "I'm afraid you don't know who the White Dragon King is, let alone what he wants to do. You think the White Dragon King saved you." She shook her head: "No, the White Dragon King just used you. He
Even more terrifying than Old Lady Xie, he makes you willing to sacrifice your life for him."
Mrs. Yang began to shake her head: "No, no, you don't understand the White Dragon King. He saved people from fire and water, so he should be respected by others."
"Don't worry," Xu Qinghuan said, "You definitely want to see what the person you respect so much looks like. As long as you are alive, I will let you see it."
