Master of Rebirth

Chapter 35 Murder

On the way back, Wang Qi kept thinking about Jia Fugui.

It seems that Jia Fugui is indeed involved in such shady places as Yihongyuan and Xiaoyaoguan, and what else he did was caught by Wang Long.If Wang Long threatened Jia Fugui with these excuses in his name, in order to save his life, Jia Fugui would definitely take the risk and kill him to silence him.

Wang Qi couldn't help but secretly sighed: "Wang Long's trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is really vicious, but I don't know when Jia Fugui did it. If he really did it, how would he protect himself?"

Returning to Wang's house with a lot of worries, Wang Sheng immediately greeted him, "Master, Mrs. Jia has returned to Jia's house again."

"How long have you been there?" Wang Qi asked quickly.

Wang Sheng said: "It will take half an hour."

Wang Qi calculated the time, and it should be that Jia Fugui sent someone to invite Jia Miner immediately after Jia Fugui was beaten.I just don't know what the brothers and sisters will discuss when they get together.

"Sister, Wang Qi is really driving me to a dead end." Jia Fugui said with a bitter face, "Who would have thought that he would be able to see clearly what I did, and he would force me to go to the yamen at the latest the day after tomorrow?" Turn yourself in, or go to the Yamen and report me."

"What good thing did you do to be caught by Wang Qi?" Jia Min'er asked hastily.

"This..." Jia Fugui hesitated to speak.

Jia Min'er was in a hurry: "It's this time, what's the use of hiding it. If you don't tell me, are you going to wait for Wang Qi to report to the Yamen and let the Yamen announce it to the world?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Jia Fugui said: "It's just abducting a few children and handing them over to Mama Huang for some money."

"Who is Mama Huang?" Jia Min'er asked with a serious face.

"Isn't it the madam of Yihong Courtyard?" Jia Fugui said with a guilty conscience.

Knowing that things would not be that simple, Jia Min'er asked coldly: "She is a procuress, what do you want these children for?"

"You don't understand." Jia Fugui smiled dryly: "Isn't it true that people have different hobbies? Some people like girls, some people like husbands, and some people like..."

"You like children, don't you?" Jia Min'er's voice had changed shape, and the sharpness almost pierced people's eardrums: "How can you do such a thing?"

Covering his ears, Jia Fugui hurriedly defended himself: "There is another restaurant under the Yihong Courtyard, called Xiaoyaoguan, which specializes in providing some chicks/prostitutes. I also heard from Huang's mother that there was a shortage of new products recently and the prices were high. At that time I lost a bet in the casino, and when I went out, I saw a few children playing there. I saw no one around, so I was fascinated and deceived those children, pretending that they were brought from other places. As a result, the children’s house was very noisy, and they were still there. The yamen was alarmed to help find it. Mother Huang became suspicious, and as soon as she got scared, she returned the child to me."

"Since it is refunded to you, it will be fine if you let the child go." Jia Min'er said.

Jia Fugui said angrily: "It's so easy, those children have been used by Huang's mother. They are shrewd, they covered the children's heads and didn't see their faces. My face can be seen clearly by those children Chu. I’m afraid that if some children confess me, they will fill the well with their brains.”

"So, you were the one who did those drowned children found in the well at the west end of the county a while ago?" Jia Min'er said with a sullen face.

Jia Fugui hurriedly said: "No one doubts it."

"No one suspects, how did Wang Qi know?" Jia Min'er said sharply: "How many lives are there? If this matter gets out, will you survive?"

"That's why Wang Qi must not be allowed to live." Jia Fugui's face flashed a trace of ferocity, he looked at Jia Min'er and begged, "Sister, I only have you as my own sister, you can't just watch your elder brother die."

"Then what are you going to do?" Jia Miner asked.

Jia Fugui looked at her, gritted his teeth, and said viciously, "Keep Wang Qi dead."

"Are you crazy?" Jia Min'er was startled: "If you kill someone, you will pay with your life."

"Anyway, I already have human life on my hands. If Wang Qi stabs me to the government, I will die." Jia Fugui said: "As long as I do it cleanly, no one will suspect me."

Jia Min'er walked a few steps inside the house with a sullen face before saying: "There is a chance right now. Most of the guards and servants in the mansion were taken away by the old lady and the second master, and the rest stayed in Nanyuan and Xiyuan. There are only a few servants in Dongyuan, and two of them belong to the second master."

Jia Fugui's eyes lit up: "As long as you can guarantee that those nursing homes will not go to Dongyuan, the rest of them will be easy to deal with. Can they stay awake at night? I sneaked in in the middle of the night and covered the king without anyone noticing. Qi will leave. Besides, isn’t the theft case in the county still unsolved, the big deal is to grab something and pretend to be theft. As long as Wang Qi is solved, there is nothing to worry about.”

"But..." Jia Min'er still hesitated: "The incident with the child has already been deemed an accident. Wang Qi may not have evidence. Even if you sue the government, if you deny it, you may not be convicted."

But Jia Fugui said: "Have I ever thought about it? It's a pity that I was too flustered at that time, and I don't know if there is any evidence left. I don't want to take this risk. Besides, now is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation , after passing this village, there will be no such shop. In short, if you find a way to keep the nursing home away from Wang Qi’s Dongyuan, you don’t have to worry about the rest.”

"You should think about it again, one can't be fixed..." Jia Min'er said worriedly.

Jia Fugui waved his hand and said, "I'm not a fool, I can play by ear when the time comes. Besides, I won't leave the body there in a big way. As long as I don't see the body, I can spread rumors that Wang Qi is missing or going out." The relationship between the second master and Wang Qi is so bad, naturally Wang Qi is so happy that she disappears by herself, and she will not go to the yamen to report the case."

Thinking of the bad relationship between Wang Qi and Wang Long, Jia Min'er finally felt a little relieved.But she was still afraid that something might go wrong, so she hurriedly said, "Since you want to pretend to be a thief, you'd better pretend like it."

Jia Fugui said: "Do you still remember those servants who were kicked out by Wang Qi before? I found a few reliable ones, they are very familiar with Dongyuan, and there will be no mistakes if they lead the way. Don't worry, we will turn around in the middle of the night. Go over the wall."

"It's better not to let too many people know about it." Jia Min'er disapproved, "Are they reliable?"

Jia Fugui said: "Don't worry, when the time comes, they and I will be like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If you can't run away, you won't be able to jump him."

"Think about it carefully, you must be careful about this matter." Jia Min'er warned.

Feeling that Jia Miner was too worried, Jia Fugui said indifferently: "It's okay, I know."

Seeing that Jia Fugui had made up his mind, Jia Min'er had no choice but to get up and go back.

Because the timing of Jia Fugui's attack was uncertain, Wang Qi still didn't dare to stay at Wang's house that night.In the early morning of the second day, as soon as Wang Qi stepped into the gate of the mansion, he met Xue Cai's group head-on.

"Young Master, you're back. I heard from people in Dongyuan that you didn't return home last night." Xue Cai said with a smile.

It seems that this Xue Caiguo is really paying attention to his movements all the time.Wang Qi said with a smile: "Oh, I met a friend at Mr. Dong's place yesterday, and we chatted a little late, so we stayed. Where are you going?"

"You guys go out to do some business. Although the second master is not here, we dare not be lazy." Xue Cai said.

Looking at his eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, it was clear that he didn't take himself seriously at all.Wang Qi understood it, and didn't care about it, she said casually: "You have worked hard these few days, when will the second brother come back?"

"I should be back tomorrow." Xue Cai said.

Heartbroken, Wang Qi said calmly, "I thought the second brother would stay for a few more days."

"There are still so many things at home, our master can't stay too long." Xue Cai said with a smile.

Not wanting to continue chatting with them, Wang Qi said: "Okay, you guys hurry up and get busy."

Xue Cai obviously didn't want to chat with Wang Qi, so he bowed his hands and left.

After seeing them leave, Wang Sheng said: "Eldest young master, do you want me to go out and stare at them?"

"Is Wang Long really coming back tomorrow?" Wang Qi asked.

Wang Sheng said: "It's about staying for three or four days, counting the days, it's time to come back."

"No need." Wang Qi raised her eyebrows and thought, "If there is no accident, Jia Fugui will definitely do something tonight."

After a gust of wind, the dark clouds in the sky gradually covered the sun, and it seemed that there was going to be rain at night.

Xu Baichuan and Huang Xing stood at the gate of the yamen. After a while, Master Zhu came out of the yamen in a hurry, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xu, you are here. I thought I heard it wrong when the yamen servant came to inform me just now. It's really you."

Looking at the cheerful Master Zhu, Xu Baichuan smiled back and said, "I've heard that my brother is working here, and I've always wanted to come to visit. I happened to pass by today, so I came to see you. Are you all right, brother?"

"Brother Xu came at the right time." Master Zhu hurriedly let Xu Baichuan into the yamen, "Recently, there was a theft case in the county. The thief has not been found yet, and the whereabouts of the stolen items are still unknown. For this It's a matter, our grandfather has not had a good life for many years. If we don't catch the thief again, we will not live in peace, brother Xu, you have to help brother."

Huang Xing naturally knew the inside story of the theft, so he couldn't help but look at Xu Baichuan, wanting to see what he had to say.

Xu Baichuan smiled and said, "What's going on, brother can talk slowly."

Master Zhu didn't hide anything, and gave a brief overview of the matter, "The Li family is Grandfather's in-laws, and they lost a lot of property, but they didn't have a clue. So, I can't blame Grandpa for being in a bad mood."

"You said that thief would send a note every time before stealing?" Xu Baichuan asked in pretended surprise.

Master Zhu nodded: "That's right, we clearly wrote down the time and place of the murder. The first time we thought it was a prank, and we didn't care. Who knew something really happened. The second time we were prepared, We were ready to fight, but unfortunately we didn't catch the shadow of the thief."

"Brother, I think you may be going in the wrong direction."

"Ah, what does Brother Xu mean?" Master Zhu asked quickly.

"When you saw the note, you thought it was a thief deliberately provoking. But have you ever thought about it, there is no reason for a thief to call for a thief. Is it possible that the note was not given to you by a thief, but someone who knew the inside story? I am secretly reminding you that someone wants to steal." Xu Baichuan said very seriously.

"Brother, just speak up if you have anything to say." Master Zhu asked humbly.

Xu Baichuan paused, and then said: "Since the thief stole so much property when he visited the Li family for the first time, it means that his purpose is to make money. If he only wants to make money, he can't take the initiative to provoke the yamen, he will find it for himself. It's awkward. Looking at it from below, the thief may not know that his actions have been secretly reported to the Yamen. It's a pity that you didn't pay attention to it, and the Li family didn't take any precautions. The thief didn't have any worries, so he took a lot of things. At the time of the attack, you were prepared and the momentum was great, and the thief saw that there were officers and soldiers present, so he naturally withdrew."

"Oh, brother understands." Master Zhu suddenly realized: "What brother means is that we stunned the snake by hitting grass."

"I think it's probably true." Xu Baichuan nodded seriously.

"Oh, my brother has taught me a lot today." Master Zhu admired Xu Baichuan even more, and bowed his hands again and again.

"Where is it, old brother is too modest."

Master Zhu was not ashamed to ask: "But brother, I still can't figure it out. If this person wanted to expose the thief, why didn't he come to the yamen openly, instead of sneaking around?"

"This..." After thinking for a while, Xu Baichuan thought of an excuse, "I think the person who sent the letter may not be sure whether the thief will act. If the thief didn't act after telling the Yamen, wouldn't it be fooling the government? What’s more, if you come to the Yamen to expose the thief in a fair manner, there will always be some rumors. Since the person who sent the letter knows so well, he must be familiar with the thief. He is afraid of being retaliated, so naturally he dare not show his face.”

"Well, it makes sense." Master Zhu pondered.

Seeing Xu Baichuan, the chief culprit of the mail theft, spout nonsense seriously, coaxing Master Zhu around, Huang Xing had a hard time holding back his laughter.

Just as he was about to remind Xu Baichuan of his serious business today, a yamen servant suddenly ran from outside and said in a panic, "Master Zhu, it's not good, my grandfather just received a letter from that thief again."

"What?" Huang Xing was startled, and immediately looked at Xu Baichuan, but he also had a look of disbelief.

"What's written on it?" Master Zhu immediately stood up from the bench and asked hastily.

"At midnight tonight, the Wang family was stolen."
