Seeing Xu Qing's leaving figure, Xu Sima couldn't help but tighten his hands under his sleeves. This was the first time he felt so powerless when facing a boy who was only seventeen years old.
At this moment, Xu Sima couldn't help but regret. If he had never agreed to the marriage of his stupid son from beginning to end, or let him get married as soon as possible and let his family worry about him, I am afraid that what happened today would not have happened.
The son-in-law who was picked out by the Su family from a bunch of undercover agents was forced to this point.
But then, Xu Sima shook his head again and rejected the idea. Without the Su family, it would still be the Li family and the Wang family... I know my son's character. Once he sees a beautiful woman, he can't move. Even if he rejects the Su family
His own son will soon be attracted by other women's attention, and he will also be particularly concerned about the Su family...
If he had known that today...he...he should have strictly disciplined his incompetent son from a young age, taught him to study well, taught him the way to be virtuous, and should not have been so arrogant to him...
But now that I think about it...it's too late! It's too late!
Sixty thousand taels, nearly all the Xu family’s belongings!
Of course, there is another way, kill Xu Qing! Yes! The beginning of everything that made the Xu family feel powerless and troublesome was the appearance of Xu Qing! It was because of this man's familiarity with the law that the Xu family only took action twice.
It can hit cotton... Now that the prince is in Yongzhou, if a court official dies, it will definitely cause the prince and the state government to go to war, but if it is just an insignificant businessman with a background of being a police officer, he dies...
The status of businessmen is low. Who would ask about the life and death of a businessman?
Now as long as this person is gone, the Su family will have no basis for evidence!
This time the move must be quick! It must be clean!
Even if Xu Qing knew someone in the palace, he was just a manager at most. With his status, he shouldn't have too much contact. As long as he acted quickly enough and didn't leave any traces, there shouldn't be any problems.
Originally, Xu Sima didn't want to do this, because killing someone is always risky, and the risk is extremely high. At this time, the adults gave orders not to make any small moves when Prince Shen was around. Seeing bloodshed was a step that could not be taken without taking it.
But today, I am afraid this step must be taken!
Returns and risks are always proportional! As long as you succeed, everything will be worth it!
This time not only to save 60,000 taels of silver, but also to avenge Shen'er!
state prison prison
All the felons imprisoned here are felons, and some of them are robbers who committed murder and arson. Some of them were even the bandit leaders captured when the village was annihilated. Since they did not catch up with the last batch of people to be executed this autumn, they can only
Save it for next year.
Da Chu could only behead death row prisoners in the late Autumn Period, and it required the emperor's personal approval. Local officials did not have the right to use the death penalty selfishly.
No matter how serious the crime the person committed, documents from the court are required before the death penalty can be carried out. Generally, this process takes a long time.
Some death row inmates even have to stay in jail for several years without necessarily waiting for their sentence, which is quite pitiful. Who can endure waiting in line for three years without being able to get their turn?
Three years is enough time for someone to break off the engagement, but a document can’t be approved?!
Of course, according to the observation of the cell boss, these extremely irritable death row inmates are still very calm when they are in prison. When it comes to issuing documents, even if others cut in the queue, no one of them complains. It can be said that they are quite knowledgeable.
Humility and courtesy...
You said that if you were so humble and polite outside, how could you come in?
It's a pity that I learned everything when I came in...but it was too late.
…
At this time, an old man stood outside a cell. After the old man gave a silver coin to the guard guarding the cell, he immediately left wisely.
There was a middle-aged man imprisoned in that cell. The man had a long scar on his face, his face was unshaven, and his dirty hair was inhabited by countless lice.
The middle-aged man looked at a lunch box handed over by the old man, rushed towards it, and after opening it, he clearly saw a whole chicken.
The man didn't care about anything else. He first pulled off a chicken leg, put it in his mouth and took a few bites. Then he looked at the old man: "What do you want to do?"
The old man said: "Second Master, this old slave came to negotiate a deal with the Second Master on behalf of my master. My master will help the Second Master escape, but the Second Master will help my master kill someone. After the deal is completed, ten thousand yuan will be paid."
two."
The second master's eyes suddenly glowed with light. What if he could escape from this dark prison and risk his life?
So the second master hurriedly asked: "Is this true?!"
The old man nodded and said, "Of course I take it seriously."
…
Evening of the second day
Although it was said that it was evening, due to the short days and long nights, the sky was already twilight and the setting sun had long disappeared.
When Xu Qing came out of the shop, snowflakes were already falling, but fortunately they were not very big.
Just when Xu Qing was about to return to the house to get an umbrella, a beautiful figure dressed in white appeared at the door. It was Su Qian.
Su Qian held two umbrellas in her hands, one covering her head and the other in her hand. When she saw Xu Qing, she handed one over to her.
Xu Qing was surprised and said: "Why is the lady here?"
Under normal circumstances, Su Qian would only ask Su Mansion's carriage to take her home when there was heavy wind and snow. Like this kind of light snow, which was like catkins flying, just hold an umbrella and walk, and no one would be needed to pick her up.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Considering that your husband might not have brought an umbrella, I came over to give one to you."
Xu Qing smiled and said: "Thank you madam, there happens to be no umbrella in the shop."
At this time, even if you open an umbrella shop or umbrella workshop, you still have no umbrella. Is it just an umbrella that your wife sent you? It is a heart that misses you. The single guy in front of the screen knows nothing...
…
Xu Qing and Su Qian held umbrellas and walked in the snow, heading home.
Since there were no street lights in this era, Xu Qing had to carry a lantern for lighting, but the brightness was really impressive... and the area illuminated by the lantern was also extremely limited.
On the way, the two of them chatted while walking, so that the road would not be too boring.
At this moment, Xu Qing suddenly felt like he was being watched. Just when Xu Qing felt like he was being watched, Su Qian pulled Xu Qing over and Xu Qing stumbled into Su Qing's body.
The shallow front is soft...
Xu Qing's position was already occupied by a man in black who jumped down from the sycamore tree nearby and struck the ground with a knife.
If Xu Qing had been standing there just now, he might have been split in half.
Su Qian stepped in front of Xu Qing, blocked him behind her, put away her umbrella as a weapon, and looked at the man in black with a wary expression.
