"Brother-in-law?"
Shen Qingyao saw the person rolling out of the sack and stared at it for a long time before calling out tentatively.
Hearing her voice, Cao Renjie raised his head in excitement, as if he had found a life-saving straw, and shouted, "Xiaoyao, help me quickly, I am your brother-in-law!"
He rolled and crawled over to hug Shen Qingyao's legs, shocking Shen Qingyao and taking a few steps back.
"Oh, let me go, Lao Lin, you tortured him to such an extent that I almost didn't recognize him." Shao Zilong clicked his tongue.
At this time, Cao Renjie had been tortured by "ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night" and suffered multiple mental blows. His mood had collapsed many times, he had also lost a lot of weight, and his face was even more haggard. He was not as high-spirited as before. The eldest young master of the Cao family is indeed very different.
"What you said, I didn't hit or scold you, how can you call it torture?" I don't admit it.
"Really or not, if you don't beat or scold him, how can he become like this?" Shao Zilong looked unbelieving.
Cao Renjie, on the other hand, hurriedly defended me and said, "No, no, no, it's true that he didn't beat or scold him. He treated me... he treated me very well!"
Shen Qingyao frowned, staring at Cao Renjie, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I am your brother-in-law, Xiaoyao, have you forgotten, brother-in-law...brother-in-law has always been very kind to you!" Cao Renjie shouted hurriedly.
"Then who is in the Cao family?" Shen Qingyao asked.
"That must be a lie!" Cao Renjie screamed, "It must be... there must be someone... someone... it's fake, it's all fake, I'm the real one!"
Shen Qingyao pondered for a moment and asked several questions in succession, all about the past. Cao Renjie answered them fluently.
"How is it?" Shao Zilong asked.
"They are all right." Shen Qingyao said.
Shao Zilong exclaimed, "Is that true?"
"Yes, yes, I'm real, I'm real!" Cao Renjie nodded desperately.
I asked Cao Renjie to repeat what he had done in front of Shen Qingyao and Shen Qingyao.
At first, Cao Renjie was still hesitant, but after telling one thing, he no longer had any scruples, so he just poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and revealed everything.
Shao Zilong and Shen Qingyao were more and more shocked as they listened. They probably didn't expect that Cao Renjie, who seemed to be gentle and gentle, could be so cruel in private.
"You look like a dog, how many people have you secretly killed?" Shao Zilong cursed.
"This... people who achieve big things don't stick to trivial matters. They are all... all for business. Among those big families, no one has blood under their hands. Everyone is the same." Cao Renjie also defended the things he did.
"It seems quite reasonable." Shao Zilong said sarcastically.
"Actually...it's really not a big deal. Some people just deserve to die. Moreover, I have done so many good deeds and donated a lot of money, which is...enough to compensate. If it's not enough, I can donate more..." Cao Renjie Excitedly.
Shao Zilong laughed loudly, suddenly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Don't stop me, you two. I'll twist his head off later and donate two yuan!"
Cao Renjie's face changed drastically and he shouted, "Xiaoyao, you have to save me. Think about your sister. If she knew that I... I was dead, she would not know how sad she would be!"
"Shut up!" Shen Qingyao suddenly slapped the table, "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll screw your head off first!"
Cao Renjie trembled with fright and quickly shut up.
"Xiao Yao is mighty!" Shao Zilong gave Shen Qingyao a thumbs up.
Shen Qingyao turned to look at me, "What are you going to do?"
"Aren't you two trying to screw with the dog's head? Or should we just let it go?" I asked.
Cao Renjie was so frightened that his face turned pale.
"Don't be poor!" Shen Qingyao glared at me, "If you don't have any ideas, can you confess to us?"
"How can this be possible? I have planned to tell you for a long time." I coughed and said, "Don't the Cao family go to Cao Xianguan to pray for blessings in the evening? It's quite lively."
"You want to take him to Cao Xianguan?" Shen Qingyao reacted immediately.
Shao Zilong said happily, "Old Lin, you are really damaging!"
"Why did you say that? What's the damage?" I wasn't happy about it.
"Yes, yes, you are helping others, okay?" Shao Zilong said.
Shen Qingyao turned to look at Cao Renjie, was silent for a moment, and said, "That's it."
After agreeing, we waited for dark in the hotel.
During this period, Shao Zilong and Shen Qingyao took turns questioning Cao Renjie, especially about the matters in Shimen Village. Shen Qingyao asked them very carefully.
But no matter how he asked, Cao Renjie had no clue about anything related to Shimen Village.
"Is this a fake? Why don't you know anything?" Shao Zilong cursed.
Cao Renjie was so frightened that he quickly defended, saying that he was absolutely true, and that what happened in Shimen Village had nothing to do with the Cao family.
"We're ready to go." I took a look at the sky and saw that it was almost there.
Shen Qingyao was immediately asked to disguise Cao Renjie a little, and then drove him to Qinglong Mountain.
When we arrived at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, the sky was completely dark, but there was an endless stream of pilgrims going to Qinglong Mountain, making it more lively than usual.
Shao Zilong asked a few people to inquire, and found out that many people had heard that the Cao family was coming to Caoxian Temple to pray and came to watch the fun.
"It's really boring." Shao Zilong said incomprehensibly.
However, there are advantages to having many pilgrims. Once we blend in with the crowd, we become less conspicuous.
I placed a restraint on Cao Renjie, and then Shao Zilong and I carried him up the mountain on both sides.
Not long after walking, I saw the huge Caoxian Temple standing on the top of the mountain in the distance, brightly lit.
We followed the pilgrims into the temple.
Four Taoists stood guard at the entrance of the hall, trying to stop the pilgrims who were coming. "The Cao family is praying inside. There are too many people, so just watch outside."
Although some people expressed dissatisfaction, the prestige of the Cao family in Meicheng was too great, so most people still waited outside obediently.
With Shen Qingyao leading the way, we naturally entered the hall easily.
I saw a large group of people gathered in the hall. In addition to Wei Dongting, Lao Meng and others, Master Bai Yuanqiao from the Feng Shui Association also arrived with several people.
In addition, standing with Bai Yuanqiao were several old men of similar age to him.
Shen Qingyao introduced us in a low voice. Those few people were all old people from the Feng Shui community in Meicheng. They usually didn't come out much. This time, they were probably invited out by the Cao family.
In addition to these people, many people who had participated in blessing prayers at Cao's house were also invited to watch the ceremony.
In addition, the Taoist priest from Cao Xianguan presided over the blessing ceremony here.
I looked around and didn't see Gu Zhihua. It seemed that Master Gu had not come.
In front of the Sanqing statue in the main hall, Cao Renjie and Shen Bilin, together with Cao Junwu, were burning incense and praying for blessings.
Behind them were a group of men, women and children, who should all be relatives of the Cao family.
"I heard that Boss Cao has four children, why are there only two?" I asked seemingly casually.
