Mr. Zhou stared at the two people, his body started to tremble again, and he quickly turned to look at Shopkeeper Shang and Mrs. Shang who hurriedly came from the door.
Before they could speak, Mr. Shang looked at the two men on the ground with a serious look on his face, "Please tell me honestly, are you the bandits at that time?"
The two of them lowered their heads and said tremblingly: "Old man, we are, we really are."
Mr. Shang was a man who had seen the world. His face became serious and he said in an extremely fierce tone: "Listen carefully. If you are really the ones who killed my son, I will not only behead you, I will I will also check on your family members, and I want them to bury my son with him!"
The two people were shocked. They promised Shopkeeper Shang to do this for the sake of their family. If Mr. Shang really wanted to kill their family members, then all their actions would be in vain.
They began to hesitate. ?.?????.???
Seeing something wrong, Mr. Shang raised his voice and continued: "Tell me, is it you who did it?!"
The two of them jumped for a moment. One of them, who had children at home, really couldn't bear to have his child die with him at such a young age. In desperation, he kowtowed and said: "Master, I say, I say."
Mr. Shang's hands were trembling, but he stopped and said, "Okay, you say it."
The man buried his head low and said in a trembling voice: "I... am just a farmer. I am... Shopkeeper Shang, the second young master. He said he would raise me for me. I have several young children, so I would come to my house and pretend to be a bandit."
Old Mrs. Shang frowned, his face turned livid, and he slowly turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Shang.
Shopkeeper Shang's legs stopped and he suddenly fell to his knees.
"Dad...I..."
Before he could say anything, Mrs. Shang knelt down in front of them and said, "Master, it's me. I did this. You haven't been able to sleep well or eat well these days because of the young master's affairs. I'm worried." Your body, that’s why I came up with this idea.”
"The bandits who killed the eldest young master have escaped long ago. In order to relieve your anger, we found two people to pretend to be bandits."
What she said makes sense.
But Mr. Shang didn't believe her. He had already begun to doubt her. He had been doubting her since the boss' accident.
But he couldn't believe it, couldn't believe that his son would kill a blood relative.
Over the years, he has been guarding against them at all times and refused to give them the key because he was afraid that they would even kill him.
A few days ago, his second son proposed to burn down the Zhou family's granary, so as to force the Zhou family to use all the money in the family to buy rice and grain. They would take this opportunity to reopen their cloth farm out of the capital and move it to the capital. The Zhou family was forced into bankruptcy.
He immediately objected. The Zhou family's granary was no longer just the Zhou family's granary, but the Xuanyue Kingdom's granary.
What he did to harm was not the Zhou family, but the people of Xuanyue Kingdom.
His repeated admonitions were blocked, and from then on, he discovered that his second son had no conscience for a long time.
At this time, Mr. Shang was not angry or resentful, but more disappointed.
He slowly turned his head, waved his hands and said, "That's all, please step back and let these two people go. I want to have a good time catching up with the old girl."
Mrs. Shang and Shopkeeper Shang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had escaped disaster, "Yes, sir."
Mr. Shang came with his second girl to the yard they prepared for her.
He looked towards the yard and said seriously: "I'm afraid I can't stay in this place any longer."
The second girl was shocked. They had reunited after a long separation and were about to be separated again?
Mr. Shang raised his head slightly and said slowly: "Did you already know that the person who killed your father was your second uncle?"
The second girl was shocked, "Grandpa, you..."
Mr. Shang stroked his beard, sighed and said, "You haven't dared to look at him since you walked in. Don't worry. When you come back, I will protect you and no one will dare to hurt you."
At this moment, the second girl couldn't hold it any longer and threw herself into the arms of Mr. Shang and cried bitterly.
After the two of them stayed in the yard for a while, they both pretended that nothing had happened.
Early in the morning three days later, Shopkeeper Shang got up happily and prepared to watch the Zhou family's show.
He came to the yard and was about to call the boy, but no one responded after calling for a long time.
At this time, Mrs. Shang hurried over and said, "Second brother, have you seen your father?"
Shopkeeper Shang shook his head, "No, what happened to my father?"
Mrs. Shang's face turned pale, she sat down on the ground and said, "Just this morning, all the maids and servants in the mansion disappeared, and all the money at home was gone."
"The second girl and the third child are also missing."
"Second brother, do you think your father abandoned us?"
Shopkeeper Shang was shocked and asked quickly: "Where is the shop? Where is our tea shop?"
Mrs. Shang's eyes were red, and she was about to burst into tears. "The tea gardens and shops have also been sold, and there is nothing left. We have nothing now!"
"No, no, our house is not still here." Shopkeeper Shang said and quickly looked up and around.
Only then did he realize that the calligraphy, painting and antiques he had collected in his house had long disappeared, leaving only an empty house.
Not only that, not even the bedding was left behind.
He was startled and rushed out in a panic, running to various courtyards to check.
