Shi Ren let out a long sigh and complained to Jingxue: "This Young Master Li has caused countless troubles before he gets married. He is really a little beast who brings trouble to the world!"
After asking for the name of the murdered wealthy businessman, Shi Ren decided that if Li Xianshi stayed at Lu Mansion tonight, he would kill Li Xianshi at night and exchange him for some money with the murdered wealthy businessman. This would not only help Yue Zang vent his anger. , and he also had funds to escape.
No one was wary of Tokihito, just because he acted very honest and anyone could bully him. Tokihito was never angry, but no one knew his true thoughts.
The reason why it wasn't as painful as Yuezang's was because Tokihito didn't take the nobles seriously.
Li Xianshi caused a big disaster, and both the Lu and Li families were frightened. The wealthy businessman killed by the little villain had some friendship with the feudal king Wu Jingyun. According to the procedures, a warrior must kill himself to apologize for this. Li Xianshi will definitely not pay for it with his life. Who will do it for him? Death became a matter of debate.
Jingxue and other servants were running around the villa, but Shiren took the opportunity to return to his room. In the wooden house where he lived, there was a short knife hidden in the straw. If the Lu family discovered it, Shiren would end up being miserable.
The sky was dark and night was falling. The young man took out the short knife from the straw, sprinkled some water on the whetstone, and polished the blade back and forth.
After polishing it, he hid the short knife at his waist. As soon as he left the house, the maid Jingxue, who was familiar with Shiren, ran over and said, "Shiren! The lady calls you to her boudoir."
"what is the matter… "
Seeing the Lu Mansion in chaos, everyone had panic on their faces. This scene reminded the young man of that moonlit night, when the rebellion was suppressed. Soldiers from the southwest surrounded his home. Soldiers armed to the teeth rushed into the house and opened fire with guns. The servant was subdued with a gun, and his father and mother were also arrested by them.
The leader of the team was Li Xianshi's father, and Shiren came to Lu Qu's boudoir.
"Miss."
"You... you go find Yue Zang quickly."
"That's good, but why do you want to find him? Could it be that the Lu and Li families refused to accept the verdict and invited Yue Zang to help?"
"Idiot, what are you thinking? Of course you are taking the blame for Mr. Li."
The corner of Shiren's mouth twitched. He understood what Miss Lu was thinking. The wealthy businessman's family was unwilling to give up and reported the matter to the bureau. They had to have a southwest warrior stand up and kill himself to pay for it. In Miss Lu's eyes, he died in Li Xianshi's place. The candidates have already been finalized.
"Yue Zang... He often said he would die for me. Now that the opportunity has come, just... let him get what he wants! Kill yourself instead of my fiancé."
What a vicious girl! Shiren held his hands on his waist and couldn't figure out why Yue Zang fell in love with such a person. If Yue Zang hadn't been so infatuated, Shiren would have killed his master on the spot. It was simply unreasonable.
"Okay." The young man said through gritted teeth, "I'll go find Yue Zang and come over."
"Wait a minute, you idiot! Go to the warehouse and get a few bottles of good wine for him. Say... say it's from me. Don't let the master know about it, and ask him to take the initiative and suffer in Mr. Li's place."
Crazy, completely crazy, Tokihito laughed out loud with anger, and went to the warehouse to get wine as the lady asked.
Holding an old-fashioned flashlight, the young man entered the warehouse where the Lu family's finances were stored, opened a bottle of fine wine, and took a few sips. Why are you still looking for Yue Zang? Just go and deal with Li Xianshi. His head is missing and the matter is settled. Otherwise, Yue Zang might really agree to Miss Lu's request.
While he was drinking, Tokihito caught a glimpse of the big shiny golden box in the warehouse. He used to see this box every day. There must be treasure hidden inside. Why not take the opportunity to open it and take a look.
What he didn't expect was that there was no gold or silver in the big box, but some utensils that were stored in the Lu family. After flipping through them, the young man's eyes widened.
There was an account book inside. He had seen this account book before. It was once his own. When he opened the account book, it turned out to be his father's handwriting.
"Okay..." Tokihito clenched his fists, bursting into rage for the first time in his life.
The family was massacred when Shiren was less than ten years old. It turned out that his family lent money to rich people like Southwest and had hundreds of millions in debt. It was clearly written on it that the Lu family owed a full twenty million!
