Ji Yu

Sneaking into Liu Neng's bedroom with the housekeeper in hand, he searched for a long time and finally found the so-called secret compartment. It should be dawn in an hour and a half.If I can't find it anymore, I plan to wake up Liu Neng and interrogate him.But that would make the matter worse, and even if it was pushed to the butler, it might make him suspicious.

There are 5 taels of silver bills in the dark box. I saw Qiyu's eyes lit up, and I shook my head secretly.The 5 taels is definitely not Liu Neng's entire net worth. After all, there is no real money insurance for the bank notes, so even if he takes them, it will not hurt the Liu family.There is also an account book, I didn't have time to look at it carefully, so I put it in my arms.Sprinkled some powder on Liu Neng's pillow, and hurriedly jumped out of Liu's mansion with the housekeeper and Qi Yu, and returned home.

I took the butler to the cellar where the vegetables and wine were stored, and asked Qiyu to call Mrs. Chen and his wife.Unlocked the butler's dumb point and asked them to confront each other. I didn't want to mistake the person.As soon as Mrs. Chen saw him, she tore up and fought with hatred all over her face. The butler just begged for mercy, but didn't make any excuses. It seemed that he did something right.

"Third Master, please give us the life of this old thing. From now on, the lives of our husband and wife will be handed over to Third Master."

"I'll give it to you, but I don't want your lives. The second master and I are about to leave Lecheng, but we have to keep this matter from the uncle. If you help cover it up for two days, it will be considered repayment."

"It's all according to the young master's orders." Mrs. Chen kowtowed to me, got up and ran away, and ran back after a while, holding the long knife used to kill pigs during the Chinese New Year in her hand.

Qiyu was standing beside me in confusion, but when she saw this, she took a step back in shock, pulled my sleeve and asked, "Sister-in-law Chen... what is she doing?"

"Kill for revenge."

"What? Murder?... How can it be done... that will be beheaded..."

"If you are afraid, don't read it, go back to your room," I said lightly.

"Ji Yu, aren't you afraid? It's one thing to take money, but killing people is no joke...Ji Yu, don't get confused just to vent your anger on me."

I shook my head, "It's not for you, but for Mrs. Chen. After her sister was ruined by this old thing, she hanged herself. I have killed such scum before."

I remembered that when I was bitten by a snake in the southwest, I had no relatives, no reason, and didn't buy a good house, and was rescued by an old Miao people.Later, I bought a house, opened a private school, and taught his grandson by the way.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed suddenly, and his granddaughter was actually taken by a small official and snatched away.Her granddaughter is only 11 years old.The body was thrown out that night.I really know what it means to be inferior to a beast.Some officials there do not regard the mountain people as human beings at all.

After my body recovered, I killed that person, and the body was destroyed without anyone noticing it.

"You...you also killed someone? When? Why didn't I know?"

"During those two years when I was traveling outside. You go back to the house first, and I will go to you after these things are dealt with." I was a little impatient.

Aunt Chen waited for Qiyu to finish speaking because she cared about me, and veins burst out in the hand holding the knife patiently.He's still rambling on and on.

He doesn't understand the feeling of facing an enemy who hates to the bone, but I do.

"...No, if you don't leave, I won't leave either," Qi Yu said with her head down after a moment of silence.

I nodded, and then nodded to Mrs. Chen.

Mrs. Chen stabbed him in the lower abdomen with a knife, so powerful that she pierced through it all at once, "This knife is for my sister", and then handed the knife to Lao Chen, "There are two more knife, for my father Mother, your father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Lao Chen didn't say a word, took the knife and cut it twice, one on the right chest, and the other cut off his lower body.The housekeeper was doomed, but he didn't get stabbed in the heart or neck or other quick fatal places.They want him to die slowly.

The butler was still twitching on the ground, not completely dead, staring fiercely at everyone in the cellar.I am not afraid of such gazes.

When I killed someone for the first time, I was not afraid, nor did I have any nightmares afterwards.I feel like I can be hard-hearted when I'm doing the right thing.

Enmity must be revenged, isn't that the case.

Qiyu had already started to vomit, so I sat down on the chair Mrs. Chen brought, and asked Lao Chen to bring a stove, and ordered: "Pull off everything on his body, burn everything that can be burned, and burn everything that can't be burned." Set aside the burnt ones."

Lao Chen nodded, then squatted down and started to do it.

I first burned the mask, the coat and boots I was wearing.Qiyu sat down next to me with a pale face, and quickly undressed and burned things in a trembling manner.

After everything that could be handled was burned, Lao Chen handed over those jade pendants, rings, etc. to me. I smashed the gold into thin slices and gave it to Lao Chen. With martial arts and strength, it is convenient to do these things, "What do you plan to do with this corpse?"

"The little woman chopped him up, threw him into a dung truck, and was sent out of the city by the husband. He will never cause trouble for the third master."

"No, the meat is boiled, and the bones are picked off. I'll smash it for you and throw it into the dung truck." I thought about it and said, "You have to wash the blood on the ground with strong wine." In fact, strangulation is the cleanest, but it's a pity that revenge like that won't make the revenger feel refreshed.

"Yes, third master."

I took Qiyu who was holding me tightly and went back to the room.I knew in my heart that letting Qiyu see it was actually giving him a blow.All along, I asked him very little, and he was very indulgent.Let him think that I am a gentle scholar, and he can make me forget my unhappiness with a few words of coaxing, and continue to accompany him without complaint or regret.

I know I'm not such a meek person.For a person who must repay all grievances, how can love and hatred not be strong.Tolerance does not mean weakness, this is something I want him to understand.

If he understands me, maybe we can still have a day together.If you don't understand, maybe you will leave me because of fear and jealousy.That's easy too.

"Go back and catch up on sleep. We'll discuss other matters after you sleep well."

"I...I'm scared. Ji Yu, let me sleep here?"

I looked back at him, and sure enough, my face was disastrous, and my head was covered with cold sweat. I nodded and started to look through the ledger.The more you look at it, the more exciting it becomes. If this account book is in the hands of the government, the new magistrate can use it to swallow Liu's house.It is difficult for everyone in the Liu family to survive.Although the Liu family is not authentic, I don't mean to kill them all.There is no need to cheapen that corrupt official.

If it was in Gu Shao's hands, he would surely be able to take Liu Neng into his pocket and add another God of Wealth to King Qin.But who knows if Liu Neng was originally Gu Shao's person?Moreover, if he knows that I have the ability to obtain this ledger, Qiyu and I will never have peace.

When Qiyu heard that I agreed, her expression gradually calmed down, but instead of going to bed to sleep, she sat beside me, leaning on me tightly.If he has this ledger, he can solve the current problem and blackmail Liu Neng a lot.But without my assistance, he would not be able to play that old fox Liu Neng, and he would die in the hands of that narrow-minded old guy sooner or later.

I can help him get out of a temporary crisis, but I don't want to spend my whole life busy for his ambition or vanity.

After pondering for a while, I turned my head and said, "This account book is Liu Neng's handle. With it, you can threaten Liu Neng, solve the current troubles, and expand your business. Do you want to keep it?"

His eyes lit up, "What about you?"

"Whatever you choose, I'm leaving tonight before the city gates close."

He gritted his teeth, "I'll go with you."

"Okay", casually threw the account book into the stove and burned it

"Ah", he watched the ledger turned into ashes, "You just burned it? Maybe you will need it in the future if you keep it?"

"It's troublesome to keep it." I shook my head, "And there's no need to kill the Liu family. Liu Neng didn't really do anything to you."

"That's right, for the 5 taels of silver, he must be very distressed."

I'm sure that when Liu Neng wakes up, he will only get angry about that account book.Maybe he will completely forget about the banknote.

"We're not thieves, and we're not short of money. We took this bank note to teach Liu Neng a lesson. I don't want this money. If you want it, I can give it to you."

"What's mine isn't yours?"

I shook my head, "From now on, what's yours is yours, and what's mine is mine." I still have more than 100 taels of silver. After returning the contract to Mrs. Chen and the others tomorrow, I don't need to give them any more silver. With two salaries, I may have more property than me now.

Although 100 taels can be used for a long time, I have to raise horses, buy new books, and open private schools quickly to support myself.

"Why is it so clear?"

"After leaving Lecheng, you take your silver and I take my book, let's go our separate ways."

"What are you doing?" He yelled at me angrily, "Didn't we agree to go together?"

"You and I have different aspirations and different ways."

"What's wrong with me thinking I'm having a good time?"

"Using stolen goods? It's not that you can't eat. You have 5000 taels of silver, and most people in this world will never see so much silver in their lifetime. Are you still not satisfied?"

"But if I have the 5 taels, I can start a big business. I don't want to just be a small businessman that people look down upon."

"I don't know who you want to think highly of. It's not wrong for you to have your pursuit. But that's not what I want." I don't seek to make progress, it's of no use, and Qi Yu is too self-motivated and competitive.Indeed, not all the way.

"You..." He glared at me angrily, remained silent for a long time, then turned his head and looked at the ground and whispered, "Then I don't want it anymore. Anyway, I want to follow you."

"Have you figured it out?" I looked at him carefully.

He nodded.

I smiled slightly, at least I was more important to him than 5 taels of silver.

"Then what are you going to do with this banknote? Don't you burn it too?" Qiyu asked me with a pouted mouth.

I was crazy to burn it.If you can use it to do good deeds, you can count it as helping Liu Neng to accumulate virtue.
