Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 595
After leaving Linghua Pavilion, Zhou Qian told his subordinate Liao Fan: "Show her to me closely, and don't let her escape."

"Yes." Liao Fan responded respectfully, and followed behind Zhou Qian, "Master, what should I do with Aunt Shen's family? Her mother, Niu, is very crazy outside.
"How crazy?" Zhou Qian frowned.

"Everywhere it is said that her daughter is going to be the prime minister's wife soon, and that after giving birth to a son, she will be appointed by imperial edict.'
Zhou Qian's face was extremely ugly, and Shen Lingling relied on the fact that he was pretending to be 'Prime Minister Zhou' to force him to have these two kinds of glory and wealth.

If these words reached the ears of his two 'sons', Zhou Mingzhong and Zhou Mingcheng, they would cause a lot of trouble.

But right now, he really doesn't want to deal with Shen Lingling's natal family. Shen Lingling's death is easy to find an excuse, and the disappearance of the whole family can't be suspicious?
But this family is greedy and ostentatious, if Shen Lingling has revealed anything to them, it may be a big trouble if it is not dealt with.

Seeing Zhou Qian's gloomy face, Liao Fan hurriedly offered advice as if to please him. "My lord, I have a plan here."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Zhou Qianyin smiled.

Liao Fan leaned into Zhou Qian's ear and told his plan.

South of the city.

Mrs. Wang's family lived fairly peacefully. Mrs. Wang set up a stall at the entrance of the alley to earn a little money, her youngest son Shen Yunlai bought a carriage to solicit customers outside, and Yufen and Daohua found a place in the restaurant. With the job of washing dishes and the fact that there are two shopkeepers who collect rent, life is much better than that in the countryside.

When it comes to their family, I have to talk about Mrs. Wang's eldest son, the gambling ghost Shen Zuorong.

Shen Zuorong was chained in the house for several months. A month ago, his family thought he had reformed, so they released him.

His family didn't trust him as a gambler, and his belongings were well hidden. Shen Zuorong couldn't find any money in the house, so he got into the bad habit of stealing, and when he got money, he went to the casino to squander it.

Mrs. Wang and Yufen knew more or less, but he didn't bother to take care of it because he didn't use the family's money to gamble.

On this day, Shen Zuorong got the gambling money from somewhere, and entered the casino.

There were no two hands, and I lost all, and I was upset, a gambler named Ah Si pulled him aside.

"Hey, Shen Zuorong, are you short of money?"

"Lack~" Shen Zuorong brushed his oily hair with his hands, how can there be a gambler who is not short of money?
Ah Si lowered his voice and said, "I'm missing it too, why don't we~~ let's do it together?"

Shen Zuorong immediately became interested, "How to do it?"

"Come on, come out and let's have a good discussion." Ah Si immediately dragged Shen Zuorong out of the casino, to a place where there was no one around, and plotted for a long time before breaking up.

At the stall where Mrs. Niu and Mrs. Wang set up a stall, a customer who bought needles and thread felt that Mrs. Niu was selling too much, so she was called by Mrs. Wang to make the deal. Too scolded.

While cursing, Shen Zuorong came back.

After asking about the situation, he taunted: "Aunt Niu, do you care about these two small coins? It seems that Shen Lingling probably didn't give you any money, and she sang about her daughter going to be the prime minister's wife all day, so she's not afraid of others' jokes.'
When Niu heard this, he said angrily: "Who said my daughter didn't give me the money?" He stopped in a hurry, and glanced at Shen Zuorong with his eyes.

It is said that Shen Lingling gave them 10 taels of silver bills a month ago. Such a huge sum of money is too hot to handle. I am afraid that people will know that they will be missed. If it is not for the purpose of deceiving others, why bother to set up such a mess?
This subtle expression did not escape Shen Zuorong's eyes, and he walked into the alley humming a little tune.

The next day, Niu's dog in the yard was suddenly beaten to death. Niu was so angry that he scolded Mrs. Wang all morning. Who else?
A few days after the dog's death, two black shadows suddenly appeared outside Niu's house in the middle of the night.

It was Shen Zuorong who turned into the courtyard. Shen Zuorong was wearing night clothes, covering his face, holding a dagger in his hand for self-defense, and tiptoed into the courtyard.

Under the moonlight, he opened the door of the wing room and walked in.

There was no one in the room, the quilt was still warm, and it was unknown where the person had gone.

Shen Zuorong secretly sighed and said "God help me", and began to turn around.

After rummaging through it, I only found a few taels of silver. After cursing "unlucky", I left the wing room and came to the main house.

After taking some effort to open the door of the main house, Shen Zuorong touched it excitedly.

The inside of the house was pitch black, and there was no light in my hand, so I couldn't see the situation clearly. I just felt that the floor was very sticky and slippery. When I touched it, my hand was full of sticky things.

In the past two days, he had a cold and his nose was stuffy and he couldn't smell the smell. He faintly felt that something was wrong, but when he thought of Ah Si saying that Niu had 10 taels of silver in his hand, he couldn't help but greedily groped inside.

The moonlight slanted in from the window, vaguely shining on the bed as if someone was there, Shen Zuorong quickly bent down.

He walked two steps forward and suddenly tripped over something. Shen Zuorong hurriedly touched it with his hand, huh? It looked like a person fell on the ground.

How could a good person be lying on the ground? Shen Zuorong suddenly felt bad, and quickly touched the person's face, and poked under his nose.

God, there is no breath, dead!
Subconsciously, Shen Zuorong wanted to escape, but when he thought that everyone had arrived, everyone was dead, and the 10 taels of silver hadn't been handed yet, he braved up unwillingly, took out a flint and lit the lamp.

After the lights came on, Shen Zuorong was almost scared out of his wits by the scene in front of him, only to see that Shen Lingling's family members were all killed in the main room.

And he himself was groping and rolling in the dark, covered with blood all over his body.

"Everyone is dead, and I just happened to be looking for money." Shen Zuorong was full of the 10 taels of money, anyway, he didn't kill people, he was afraid of shit.

It was also lucky that the money box was turned out without turning twice. Shen Zuorong was ecstatic, and rushed out of the house holding the money box.

He wanted to escape, but the officers and soldiers got the news somehow and surrounded him with torches.

In the prime minister's mansion, Liao Fan came to report to Zhou Qian early in the morning.

"Master, the family of Aunt Shen in the south of the city was killed by a gambler who broke into the house."

"Aunt Shen's family was killed? This is too tragic." Zhou Qian pretended to be sympathetic, "Have the gangsters been caught?"

"Caught it, but." Liao Fan hesitated to speak.

"You all go down." Zhou Qian narrowed his eyes and sent all the servants out.

"But what? There will be no mistakes in such a small matter, right?"

"The person sent came back and said that one escaped."

Zhou Qian was so angry that he slapped his hand on the table, "One escaped? How do you do things? Can't even deal with this kind of bastard?"

Liao Fan hurriedly knelt down, "It's an eleven or twelve-year-old child who got out of the dog hole. This subordinate will lead someone to search."

"Secretly look for it, don't make it known to everyone." Zhou Qian's face was extremely ugly.
