Shopkeeper Shang muttered for a long time, then clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Mom, this is really a good idea. Don't worry, I will find some scapegoats in a few days."
Mrs. Shang breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on her face.
The first wife didn't know that her sister had been hooking up with Mr. Shang for a long time.
She kept hypocritically saying that she would take good care of her son in the future, but in fact, she had been planning in her heart from the beginning how she would let her son inherit the family business.
Now her goal is about to be achieved.
Although the merchant does not have the same status in the capital as before, the money accumulated by the old man is probably enough for all of them to squander for several lifetimes.
As long as they find a way to get the key before the old man dies.
With this idea in mind, Mrs. Shang devoted herself to serving the old man every day. ?.?????.???
I just didn't expect that the old man would mention what happened back then.
The two mother and son got together and started looking for a scapegoat.
There are really not many bandits who are willing to be used as scapegoats.
They all seek wealth and dare not risk their lives.
This search lasted more than ten days.
Shopkeeper Shang finally found two desperadoes. One had a seriously ill mother at home, and the other had a child who was crying for food.
They are all short of money and will do anything for money.
Shopkeeper Shang proposed to provide for their old mother until she died, and to raise their children for them, but the requirement was that they admit that they had harmed the boss of the business.
The two men thought for a long time before agreeing.
In fact, although they are poor, they have never done anything harmful to nature in their lives.
What I am doing now is just to keep my family alive.
Mrs. Shang pulled Shopkeeper Shang into the back room and asked in a low voice: "Are you really going to support their seriously ill mother? Will you raise their children? In this case, there will be endless troubles."
Shopkeeper Shang showed a sinister smile, "Mom, how can you be so whimsical? How could I think of such a kind-hearted person? Naturally, it depends on whether there are any old people to support. When they die, push the old woman to the foot of the mountain and return it. What do we need to support, and those two children, we can just find a brothel and sell them, and someone will help us take care of them."
Mrs. Shang smiled and nodded.
"You are still smart."
After they agreed in this way, they brought the two people to Mr. Shang the next day.
Mr. Shang always dreams about his son and grandson recently, so he feels a little uneasy and loses a lot of weight.
He trembled, stood up slowly, walked up to the two people, and asked in a cold voice: "You killed my son's family, right?"
The two men followed shopkeeper Shang's words and lowered their heads and replied: "Yes, we killed the shopkeeper. Who told them to hold on to the money and not let go, otherwise I would not kill them."
Mr. Shang was not a fool. He walked around them and looked at them carefully, "You two are talking like this when you are about to die. You really have no remorse for killing someone."
Those two people had never killed anyone before, so how could they show any remorse? Naturally, they still followed Shopkeeper Shang's words and said: "I regret it. Of course I regret it. Old Master, please spare us. We were also seeking money at the time and did not want to kill anyone." them!"
The more these two people feared death, the more Mr. Shang believed it was true.
Shopkeeper Shang came over and said, "Dad, now that we have found the enemy who killed eldest brother back then, we can finally comfort eldest brother's spirit in heaven."
Mr. Shang bent down, touched his beard, and sighed, "Although the enemy has caught him, my son will never come back!"
Shopkeeper Shang supported Mr. Shang and comforted him and said, "Dad, a big brother like you won't feel at ease under Jiuquan, but just let go of everything and live a good life in the future."
Mr. Shang patted the back of his hand gently, "You are right. If I keep doing this, your eldest brother will not feel at ease. He has always been the most filial, and I can't go on like this."
He turned around and ordered the attendant behind him: "Go, chop off the heads of these two people, and take them to the eldest master's tomb."
The incident occurred on a cliff, so the bodies of the business owner and his second daughter have not yet been found.
Only the bodies of the eldest mistress, her two sons, and a group of servants were found.
Even so, Mrs. Shang still took the clothes of the business boss and made a tomb.
"Yes, sir." Everyone agreed loudly and prepared to take the two people down.
Just when Shopkeeper Shang thought the matter was settled, with a smile on his brow, someone outside the door called: "Master, Second Young Master."
Shopkeeper Shang turned around impatiently and said, "Why are these people so reckless?"
The boy replied: "Master, second young master, a girl is here. She claims to be the eldest young master's daughter."
Shopkeeper Shang and Mrs. Shang were both shocked.
Mr. Shang suddenly turned around and asked in a trembling voice: "Whose daughter do you think it is?"
The boy paused for a moment and replied again: "She is the eldest young master's daughter!"
