Movie: Get Alpha Dog at the start

Chapter 1133 You Don’t Know You’re Wrong, You’re Just Afraid of Death

Wang Yingxue covered her face and looked at Wang Xingyi in disbelief: "Daddy, you hit me?"

"Do you even hate your daughter?"

Seeing his daughter's tears, Wang Xingyi couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

Seeing this, Wang Yingxue felt like she had grabbed the last straw and rushed forward to hug Wang Xingyi's thighs.

"mother."

At this time, Dou Ming, who had found out the news, rushed over despite the servant's obstruction and pounced on Wang Yingxue.

"Grandpa, what happened? Why did you treat mother like this..."

Wang Xingyi was too embarrassed to speak up, and threw his sleeves fiercely: "Ask her yourself!"

Wang Yingxue suddenly laughed crazily: "Ming'er, you see, this is your grandfather, this is your fifth uncle, your father. Just because Dou Zhao climbed up the high branch of His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, they are forcing mother to be buried with Zhao Guqiu."

Dou Zhao was about to retort, but Dou Shiying rushed to Wang Yingxue and said, "Bitch, shut up. You are obviously obsessed with profit and you are willing to do anything to achieve your goal. Now you are trying to corrupt my daughter. I am so glad that I didn't give Ming'er to you to raise."

"Dou Shiying, you shameless bastard, if you hadn't coveted my beauty, how could I have taken advantage of you? I was just pretending to have asthma, and you ordered your servants to knock down all the magnolias. You killed Zhao Guqiu with your own hands, and in the end you put all the blame on me."

Wang Yingxue sneered at Dou Zhao: "Dou Zhao, you are just lucky to be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, otherwise it is still unknown who will win."

"You hypocrites who are so righteous on weekdays, are sacrificing me just to climb the ladder. I won't accept it even if I die!"

For a moment, the room was silent.

"I'm afraid that Lord Wang is still kept in the dark about some things, right?"

Qin Hao's words made Wang Xingyi's hand, which he wanted to support his daughter, freeze in mid-air.

"His Royal Highness King Qin..."

Qin Hao clapped his hands, and two palace guards walked in carrying two stacks of account books.

"These account books are from the Cangbei Gang in the past two years, and most of them are about the financial transactions between you and your daughter."

"Tsk tsk, I have to admit that your daughter is indeed a business genius. She actually thought of using the black money collected by the Cangbei Gang to lend money at high interest rates. It is simply a huge profit without any investment. Even I admire her very much."

Wang Yingxue's face suddenly changed: "Daddy, no, listen to me..."

"Get out of my way!" Wang Xingyi was struck by lightning. After he came to his senses, he kicked his daughter away, snatched an account book and opened it. However, after turning a few pages, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Dou Zhao on the side was also a little surprised. Usury is actually loan sharking. Although it is not illegal on the surface, it is extremely damaging to one's moral character because the interest rate is so high. Ordinary people who borrow money at usury can basically only sell their land, or even their children, and their families will be broken up.

Officials value their reputation the most. If anyone lends money at high interest, he or she will be ostracized by his or her colleagues and reported to the emperor by the censors.

"Are you crazy? Who gave you the courage to lend money at high interest?"

Wang Xingyi threw the account book fiercely in Wang Yingxue's face.

"Of course it was Elder Wang who gave her the courage. When she lends out the money, the Cangbei Gang will collect it for her, but it is inevitable that she will accidentally hurt someone, or even beat or force someone to death. At this time, she needs someone in the official position to rescue them. Over the years, with your face, Elder Wang, I believe she has rescued many people from prison, right?"

Qin Hao didn't believe that Wang Xingyi was unaware of this. To put it bluntly, he turned a blind eye just to compensate Wang Yingxue for the suffering she had endured for the Wang family. However, he didn't expect Wang Yingxue to be so bold as to lend money at high interest rates, and even forced people to death more than once.

"You evil beast, what you did was to kill our whole family?" Wang Xingyi couldn't save face and slapped Wang Yingxue hard again. With hatred in his heart, he beat Wang Yingxue so hard that she saw stars.

"Mom, you are so confused. How could you do such a thing?"

Dou Ming sobbed and hugged Wang Yingxue.

Wang Yingxue gritted her teeth and said in hatred, "If I don't do this, what will the people in the Dou Mansion eat and drink? How do you think you have been able to live a life of luxury since you were a child? Is it just relying on your father's insignificant salary?"

"It's all Dou Zhao's fault. When Zhao Guqiu married into the Dou Mansion, her dowry should have been under my control. It was you who were biased. Not only did you let her take Zhao Guqiu's dowry, you also gave her more money to run her business..."

Dou Zhao slammed the table fiercely: "That's enough, you plotted to kill my mother, and you wanted to use her dowry for your own squandering."

"When my mother was alive, although our family was not well-off, we had enough to eat and wear. It was you who was obsessed with competing with others and enjoying extravagance, which led to the deficit. Now you are turning the tables and blaming me. You are so shameless!"

Qin Hao was too lazy to talk any more, so he turned to Wang Xingyi and said, "Lord Wang, Wang Yingxue is the daughter of the Wang family after all. Tell me what we should do. Should we solve this matter behind closed doors, or should we hand it over to Shuntian Prefecture for questioning?"

Wang Xingyi was in a dilemma for a moment, and Dou Shishu quickly advised: "Lord Wang, let's solve this matter ourselves. If it gets to Shuntian Prefecture and those imperial censors get wind of it, they will surely attack us together, and our two families will no longer have a place to stand in the court."

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, if you close the door and solve the problem yourself, what will happen to my daughter?"

Qin Hao said sternly, "I'm afraid Lord Wang asked the wrong person. Since Wang Yingxue has married into the Dou family, she should naturally be dealt with by the Dou family."

Wang Yingxue was horrified when she heard this, and she hugged Wang Xingyi's thigh and cried, "Daddy, you can't ignore your daughter. They will definitely kill me to avenge Zhao Guqiu."

"Dad, I don't want to die yet. I've worked so hard for so many years and just started to live a good life. I haven't even seen Ming Er get married yet..."

"You don't want to die, but what about my mother? If it weren't for you instigating and causing my mother to become disheartened, she should have lived well and watched me get married!" Dou Zhao said hatefully.

Wang Xingyi subconsciously looked at Qin Hao, but saw a pair of cold eyes.

"Forget it, forget it. A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. You, the Dou family, should decide how to deal with her."

After saying that, Wang Xingyi flicked his sleeves and left with big strides.

Seeing that her only life-saving straw was about to leave, Wang Yingxue tried desperately to rush over, but was tripped by Dou Zhao's outstretched leg and fell flat on her face. When she looked up again, Wang Xingyi had already walked out of the room.

"Daddy, you have such a cruel heart!"

Dou Zhao knelt down in front of Dou Shishu and Dou Shiying and said, "Wang Yingxue's crimes are extremely serious. Dou Zhao begs Uncle Wu and Daddy to execute this evil woman on the spot."

Dou Shishu looked calm. To him, Wang Yingxue was just a tool for him to curry favor with Wang Xingyi. Now his ambition was no longer something that a mere cabinet minister could help him with, so Wang Yingxue had lost her value.

Dou Shiying was a little embarrassed. After all, one night of marriage meant a hundred nights of love, and after all, Wang Yingxue gave him a daughter.

"Sister Zhao, I beg you to give my mother a chance to live. Send her to a farm in the countryside, or to a nunnery for asceticism. I only beg you to spare her life."

Dou Ming knelt in front of Dou Zhao and kowtowed continuously.

For a moment, Dou Zhao was a little hesitant, and at this time a hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Look at her eyes. She has not shown any remorse from beginning to end. People like her will not give up easily. If there is even the slightest slackness, she will come out and harm others."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yingxue quickly retracted her gaze and pretended to look pitiful.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. I know I was wrong. I am willing to go to the country village to repent..."

"You don't know you're wrong, but you know that if you don't admit it, you'll die. Uncle Wu, you should know the principle of eradicating all evil better than I do, right?"

Upon hearing this, Dou Shishu waved his hand, and two strong women came forward, stuffed Wang Yingxue's mouth, and dragged her away.

"Mom..." Dou Ming fell to the ground, crying bitterly, and Dou Shiying could only comfort her softly.

Qin Hao and Dou Zhao looked at each other and went to the backyard tacitly.

Under the magnolia tree, Dou Zhao clasped her hands together and said, "Mother, I have finally avenged you."

"Is this the end?"

Dou Zhao's face was full of questions: "It's over, what else?"

"Mother-in-law, my son-in-law will soon ask to marry your daughter. You know her bad temper. You have to make the decision for me when the time comes."

"Who has a bad temper? Say it again."

"Look, my dear mother-in-law, she is like this in front of you. If she goes back, she will be..."

"I told you to stop talking nonsense, don't run away..."

That night, Dou Zhao brought Su Xin and Su Lan to the room where Wang Yingxue was imprisoned.

"You... don't come over here, I'm not afraid of you..."

Dou Zhao said nothing, but Su Xin had already placed a bottle of wine and a three-foot white silk on the table. Wang Yingxue was so scared that she shrank onto the bed, shouting for help.

"Don't waste your energy. No one will come to save you."

"Little bitch, I should have killed you at the beginning!"

"Unfortunately, you no longer have a chance."

After Dou Zhao finished speaking, he stood up and left. Su Xin and Su Lan understood what he meant. One of them passed the white silk through the beam, and the other picked up Wang Yingxue.

"Pick one."

"I don't choose, don't touch me, bitch!"

After saying that, he threw the poisoned wine on the ground and spilled it all over the floor.

Su Xin and Su Lan looked at each other and decided that there was no need to choose, so they started working.

The white silk pierced through Wang Yingxue's neck, which she took good care of, and hung her up. Wang Yingxue struggled desperately, but it was in vain.

The next day, news of Wang Yingxue's death came from the Dou Mansion. Wang Xingyi did not show up, but sent his son to go through the motions. As long as both parties had no objection to such matters, the government office would naturally not interfere. What's more, one was the current cabinet minister and the other was a future royal relative. They couldn't afford to offend both sides, so naturally whatever was reported would be published.

The only obstacle was that Wang Yingxue was Dou Zhao's stepmother after all, and according to the rules she had to observe mourning for three months, so Qin Hao's marriage to her had to be put on hold.

At the same time, disaster relief in Futing was imminent. Zhu Jianshen ordered the crown prince to go and preside over the disaster relief, and the King of Qin was responsible for guarding.

As soon as the news came out, the capital was shocked.

Although it was a routine operation for the Crown Prince to provide disaster relief on behalf of the other princes, the intention was obvious as soon as Prince Qing was enfeoffed as a fiefdom and then the Crown Prince was given such a good job that could easily boost his reputation.

For a time, the morale of the prince's party headed by Wu Shoufu was greatly boosted, while Prince Qing's party was terrified.

Of course, those ministers who were attached to Qin Hao were also a little anxious and angry. After all, what they wanted was the merit of following the dragon. The favor of Prince Xiaoyao was not proportional to the risks they took.

Qin Hao ignored the instigation of his men. Who knows how many of them were planted by Zhu Jianshen and how many were Prince Qing's men.

So, along the way, Qin Hao "performed his duty diligently" and repelled several assassins who were trying to kill the prince, which greatly changed the prince's impression of Qin Hao.

"When did you learn this superb martial art, Ninth Brother?"

"Of course it was when the prince was writing in Wenhua Palace every day."

The prince was disappointed and lost interest in chatting with Qin Hao.

When the group approached Futing, they saw a scene of ruins and displaced people.

"This place is thirty miles away from Futing, and the disaster is so severe. I wonder what the situation in Futing is like now." The prince said worriedly.

Qin Hao said calmly: "Although the hurricane is severe, the affected area is slightly better than the flood. As long as the local granaries are not swept away, when His Royal Highness arrives, we can open the granaries and release the grain. It should be enough to last until the first batch of disaster relief grain arrives."

"Well, what Ninth Brother said makes sense."

However, when Qin Hao and the prince arrived in Futing, they found that there was almost no one in the surrounding villages except for some old, weak and sick people. At first, the prince thought that they were swept away by the hurricane. Later, after asking around, he found out that a porridge restaurant was opened in Futing County, and almost everyone who could walk nearby went there.

"We haven't arrived yet, and there is no imperial decree. Who is so bold as to open the warehouse and release the grain?"

Even the usually gentle prince was now filled with anger.

When we arrived at Futing County, we saw that there were indeed porridge stalls set up at the city gate, and soldiers in black armor were maintaining order.

It was not until the magistrate of Futing County came to pay a visit to the prince that everyone realized that it was Duke Dingguo Jiang Meisun who ordered the granaries to be opened to release grain, and that the porridge shop in the county had been open for several days.

"Where is Jiang Meisun? Why doesn't he come to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Qin Hao shouted coldly. In front of the ministers, he and the prince both represented the face of the royal family, so he naturally could not watch Jiang Meisun ride on the prince's head.

"Reporting to the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, Duke Dingguo is leading the Dingguo Army to rescue people in Liujiazhuang, 20 miles away, and is not in Futing now." The Futing County Magistrate was so frightened that his legs went limp.

The prince frowned: "Then..."

"Then send someone to tell them. In any case, the king and the prince must meet with Duke Dingguo tonight to report the disaster in Futing!" Qin Hao saw that the prince was about to be confused again, and could not help but shout first.

"Yes, I will send a fast horse to deliver it right away."

On the way to the government office, the prince saw many Dingguo Army soldiers helping the people clean up their houses, and he couldn't help but feel a good impression of the Dingguo Army.

"Ninth brother, I'm afraid that Duke Dingguo has a reason for this..."

"Anyway, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the chief disaster relief officer. I am only responsible for your safety. How I write the report to the Emperor will naturally depend on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's opinion."

"However, I still want to remind His Royal Highness that this time His Royal Highness is inspecting the disaster area on behalf of my father. Duke Dingguo opened the warehouses and released grain in advance without even saying hello. It's a small matter if he doesn't take His Royal Highness seriously, but if he doesn't take my father seriously..."

The prince's face changed suddenly when he heard this. He could ignore Duke Dingguo's rudeness, but he represented the emperor. Duke Dingguo's action clearly showed that he did not take the royal family seriously.
