Xiao Letian never imagined that while he was meeting in the front yard, such a tragedy would be staged in the backyard, and that there would be a poisoning case in the jealousy. Xiao Letian was so angry that he turned around three times. He really wanted to drive away all these women. They were not meant for him to enjoy. They were the ones who wanted to kill him.
"Where's the girl? Give me a torture and interrogation now. I will know how sorry I am for her. She wants to harm my woman like this..."
Without Xiao Letian's words, Wang Huaiyuan had already pushed aside the girls who were tied up in the yard. Several veterans who were good at torture did not even use torture. The girls, who were like wooden figures, were already crying loudly. This woman was no longer alive. Save, complete mental breakdown.
"Don't hit me, I told you, I'll tell you everything..." The incoherent girl kept talking about things from her youth until she met Jiao Si'er and entered the Xiao family mansion, including Jiao Si'er. She confessed everything about the poison bag that was given to her and the beating and forcing by the men in black in the morning.
Sure enough, as the ancients said, there is no greater sorrow than death. Duo girl has already decided to die, because every big shot who appears in front of her is unfriendly to her, and they all want to fight and kill her. She will never be able to do it again. I don't want to suffer this anymore.
"I don't want to live anymore. Just let me die. Please let my man and children live. They don't know anything at all. Don't involve them..."
Xiao Letian's eyebrows knitted together as he listened to the woman's pleading. He waved his hand to take the woman down, but when he saw Wang Huaiyuan's men desperately dragging her to the outer house, he suddenly exploded.
"Trash, did I say kill her? What's the point of dragging her to the outer house! Lock her in the stable... So and so, go ahead and tie up this woman's son and man, and lock her in the stable together... …”
Several bald guards were so frightened that they stuck out their tongues and turned their heads and escorted the woman into the back house. At the same time, the doctor invited had also arrived. They were dumbfounded when they saw Amber's situation.
Four of the best doctors in Tanggu City and a British doctor named Barker, after studying for a long time, could only guess 90% of the ingredients in the poison, and the last 10% could not be guessed at all.
"Sir... sir!" The old doctor with gray braids wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously, "This girl is obviously poisoned..."
Xiao Letian didn't wait for him to finish, and almost smashed the table with a bang, "Aren't you talking nonsense! I didn't know it was poisoning? I've caught the poisoners, how can I still not know it's poisoning? What do you mean? Is the key point okay..."
The old man trembled with fright and quickly said, "Yes, yes, I am confused, confused... This girl's life is not affected, but this poison is very harmful to women... Maybe, this girl will not be able to give birth to a child." Already..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room wailed, and all the girls cried. Not being able to have children was even more terrifying than killing them. Looking at Amber, her eyes darkened and she fell into a coma.
"Is there nothing you can do?" Xiao Letian asked nervously.
"There is no good way. We can only use warm medicine to maintain it carefully. Maybe after ten or eight years, some miracles will happen..." The doctor told the truth. With the medical level during the Tongzhi period, even Western doctors could There is nothing that can be done about this kind of poisoning.
Xiao Letian subconsciously looked at Dr. Buck, but all he got in return was a regretful shake of the head. There was nothing that could be done now. Xiren cried and took the prescription from the old Chinese doctor and hurriedly found someone to get the medicine. The doctors left the Xiao family with a look of shame on their faces.
Xiao Letian looked at the room full of mourning women and said in a low voice, "I, Xiao Letian, have taken care of Amber's illness. As long as I, Xiao Letian, do not fall, I will take care of her for the rest of her life. No matter how expensive the medicine is, I, Xiao Letian, will cure it." ...However, what happened today shows that I am not strict in running the family. I will only give you one chance, one chance to surrender..."
"If you surrender your secrets to me this month, I can forgive you. But if I find out that you are doing this behind my back, then don't blame me for being ruthless... That's all. Come on, leave now!"
At this moment, Master Long opened the door and came in and handed Xiao Letian a secret letter: "Sir, this is sent by a secret agent sent by Zhou Mingkui." After Xiao Letian read the contents of the letter, he laughed angrily.
"Hahaha, I can't believe it. There are so many monsters and monsters. As soon as I wanted to pretend to be a grandson, someone immediately jumped out and tried to pretend to be a grandpa. Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" After saying that, he slammed the table. "Where's Sima Yun? Didn't I ask him to arrest Jiao Si'er? Why hasn't he come back yet..."
Just over ten minutes after Xiao Letian finished scolding, Sima Yun rushed in sweating profusely and puffing out white smoke. "Sir, that old bastard Jiao Si'er ran away, but not a single one of his thugs ran away. They were all caught." …”
At this time, a group of losers from Sijiu City knelt down in the yard. When they saw Xiao Letian coming out, they all knelt down and kowtowed desperately.
"Master, what are you doing? We didn't make any mistakes. We haven't seen that old dog Jiao Si'er since yesterday..."
"Xiao Letian, you can't be like this, hit or scold whenever you want? Isn't it okay if I don't serve you anymore? Let's go back to Beijing..."
"That's right, if you don't give us any money, why don't we just leave? Why are you still arresting and beating people? Is there any royal law..."
Xiao Letian looked at a group of mangy-looking house slaves and suddenly yelled, "Shut up, everyone... Don't you want to find out my details, Master Tan? I'll let you see what I know today. Come here... I'll lock them all up." In the dungeon, if anyone dares to talk nonsense, I will pour water on them and freeze them to death..."
At this time, Xiao Letian really looked like Long Yan was furious, and the aura he exuded made everyone shudder. And these house slaves seemed like they couldn't believe their ears.
"What the hell? A dungeon... Oh my god, Xiao Letian, you actually have a dungeon..." Before he could finish his words, the guard next to him came up with a big mouth.
"You stupid thing, if you dare to talk nonsense and sell you overseas as a real slave, a bunch of idiots really think that adults are vegetarians. If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you think you are a sick cat?"
A group of domestic slaves were escorted down, and Xiao Letian's chest kept rising and falling with anger. At this time, Mr. Long said, "Sir, do you need me to go out and give chase? Jiao Si'er can't run far..."
"No need, now his children and grandchildren are in my hands. He doesn't dare to talk nonsense. Just turn around and let Chun Shisanniang keep an eye on it. Now we have to face another enemy. This guy is a bit difficult to deal with." …”
Just when Xiao Letian was making plans, Fourth Master Jiao was already sitting on the canal boat heading west, trembling with fear. The old man was really afraid of Xiao Letian. He was also afraid of Sun Sanhu. This morning he sneaked near Duo's house and saw Sun Sanhu walking out of the house.
Jiao Si'er didn't even need to go in to verify. He already knew what happened. How could he expect Duo Niangniang to keep the secret from Sun Sanhu? It is estimated that the sun will rise from the west.
Jiao Si'er turned around and left without saying anything. He didn't go back to his home in Tanggu, and he didn't give up his free money. He took a canal boat and went straight to the capital. He made up his mind to pretend to be sick when he got back. He couldn't afford to offend these men. , then we can only hide.
Fourth Master Jiao chose to escape, while Sun Sanhu wanted to fight Xiao Letian to the end. During this day, he began to summon all his subordinates for a secret meeting. In the evening, these subordinates of his had already secretly sneaked into Tongzhi Yamen. He even went to Xietai Camp that night to secretly communicate with some low-level officers of the Green Camp.
Sun Sanhu's plan was not complicated. He asked Zhou Mingkui to entertain Xiao Letian tomorrow night, while his own masters dressed up as servants and ambush him. When they heard that Sun Sanhu threw a cup at the banquet, these masters quickly took action and killed Xiao Letian. He was hacked to death at a banquet.
What kind of trial? What evidence do you want? As long as it is fabricated, it is enough. Anyway, after Xiao Letian's death, the evidence of the crime can be compiled at will.
Time passed by, and Tanggu City was enveloped in a strange atmosphere. Maybe ordinary people were still eating and drinking, but some respectable businessmen felt something was wrong. There are always some very mysterious and sneaky shadows appearing around the warehouses of these merchants.
The merchants in ancient times were originally a very sensitive group, with a natural intuition for danger. They could smell even a hint of conspiracy floating in the air.
Many merchants went to Fan Jian's place, hoping to get some gossip from him, but none of them could have imagined that Fan Jian was already entangled with his brother.
"Brother, don't make a mistake. How long can Xiao Letian live? He has offended so many people in the Qing Dynasty and still thinks about it? Wake up quickly, don't go all the way to the dark side..."
Under the candlelight, Fan Ru was persuading his brother with earnest words. He was still the same as before, just to let his brother return to the family and continue to be the family's money-making machine.
Fan Yan has long been tired of hearing this, but as an ancient, there is no way to avoid the righteousness of filial piety. Even if the family is separated, sometimes you can't completely tear your face apart, not to mention that he and his eldest brother are both in their sixties or seventies, right? I am really dependent on my relatives.
"Brother, what are you talking about? Why do I feel like there is something wrong in my words today? Then why can't Xiao Letian live long..." Fan Yan quickly asked. But what I got in return was the elder brother's sneer: "Don't ask too many questions, I won't tell you, I will only tell you one thing, hurry up and tighten the lifeblood of Lotte Bank. In the future, we will still have this foreign bank to make money." !”
"Brother, brother, if you choose to return to the family now, maybe I can count you as a hero in a few days, but if you have no choice but to return to the family in a few days, you won't have so many benefits..."
Fan Jian is such a smart person. He understood immediately after hearing it. "Brother, what do you mean, even if I don't agree now, someone will force me to agree in the future?"
Seeing his eldest brother nodding his head, Fan Yan felt a bitter taste in his heart. At this time, he had no choice but to talk to his eldest brother as much as possible.
After Fan Ru left in the evening, the old shopkeeper hurriedly went to find Xiao Letian, but when he arrived at the secret warehouse, he was so frightened that the old man shrank back.
