The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 60 The fish is dead and the net is broken

Gu Deyin said nothing, his eyes still staring at the words "Death for a month."

She knew how many treasures the Xu family had, so this time Mrs. Xu was really bleeding profusely.

Well, the problem is coming.

Why would the Xu family redeem this large collection of treasures a month later?

You must know that a lot of this is the accumulation of the ancestors of the Xu family. If the Xu family knows about the good things Xu has done, then Xu Xiaoli, the Marquis, may not be able to save the Xu family.

Therefore, Xu will definitely redeem the pawned things in the later period. After all, during the holidays, some things have to be displayed for others to see.

In just one month, where could Xu raise such a large sum of money?

She tapped her hand lightly on the table. She couldn't figure it out here.

Hua Shu didn't dare to ask anymore and looked at Hua Chao. The two of them finally understood what was wrong and frowned.

However, they didn't have any good ideas for a while.

Finally, Gu Deyin said, "Tell Shopkeeper Li to continue collecting the Xu family's belongings and don't stop. Then send someone to secretly keep an eye on the Xu family's every move outside."

She was afraid that she might have missed something, so she frowned and ordered again.

"We also need to let them move the nails we have hidden inside the Marquis' Mansion to see if they find anything strange. If you report them as soon as possible, you will be rewarded heavily."

Hua Shu and Hua Chao both nodded in response to "yes".

Since he couldn't figure it out, Gu Deyin put the matter aside for the time being.

At this time, she squinted at the late spring scenery outside the window, and it was time for the second wave of lawsuits to begin.

While Xu was actively raising funds, Xu Xiaoli said in court that he would settle the payment within two days, and then he suppressed the merchants who had jointly sued him.

When Zhong Shiming saw that the group of co-branded merchants had withdrawn the lawsuit, he was not embarrassed and agreed directly. However, those who deserved the punishment had to be punished. After all, lawsuits were not fought casually.

For businessmen, money is the most important thing, nothing else matters, let alone physical and mental suffering.

Xu Xiaoli touched his beard and was quite satisfied with Zhong Shiming.

Just when he was satisfied and ready to leave, someone was beating drums outside to complain.

The spectators originally wanted to leave, but when they heard the sound of drums, they stopped leaving. They didn’t know what good show there would be to watch next.

Zhong Shiming, who had not yet withdrawn from the court, heard his master's secret report. He first looked at Xu Xiaoli in surprise. The Xu family was really having a bad time.

He was quite gloating in his heart and quickly called to Xu Xiaoli who was about to leave.

"Master Hou, stay."

Xu Xiaoli looked at Zhong Shiming with puzzled eyes, "Master Zhong, do you have any other advice?"

Zhong Shi said with a serious smile, "Master Hou, the lawsuit just now has been settled, but a new lawsuit has arisen, and you are still the defendant."

Xu Xiaoli pointed at himself in disbelief, "Did Mr. Zhong make a mistake?"

How many outrageous things has he done? Why are you all here for him?

Zhong Shiming sneered, "Master Hou, how could I get the lawsuit wrong?"

Then, without waiting for Xu Xiaoli to react, he loudly asked people to take the accuser to court.

The people who came in this time were all ordinary people, all of whom were not dressed decently.

Xu Xiaoli frowned. When had he, a noble prince, interacted with these ordinary people?

"Are you going to sue me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was immediately spat on by an old woman.

"What? It's only been a few years and you don't recognize us anymore? My poor daughter was killed by you and your vicious mother-in-law. My son, you died so miserably..." She opened her mouth, and immediately someone came up and spat and cursed at Xu Xiaoli.

"My sister entered the Xuanning Hou Mansion and was still fine. The next year, she turned into a corpse and was carried out. I was suspicious at the time, but your Xuan Ning Hou Mansion is so powerful that it suppressed us ruthlessly. I am miserable. Girl..."

Xu Xiaoli was spat on his face several times, and he was immediately angry and angry. After receiving the handkerchief handed over by his attendant and wiping away the spit, he finally recognized this group of people.

He is the most beautiful woman in his life. As long as he is good-looking and not of high birth, he will find a way to get her into the house.

And Mr. Xu was jealous and could not tolerate the beauties in his backyard. In those years, if he favored any woman more, that woman would suffer revenge from Mr. Xu, and it was common for her to lose her life.

In short, these concubines from poor backgrounds will die as long as they give her family more money.

These people were paid back then, but now they come to complain. Isn't it too late?

Wanting to understand the cause and effect, he immediately glared, "That's nonsense. Back then, I took pity on you and gave you money to live comfortably..."

"Pooh!"

The old woman who scolded him first was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and said, "You used your power to suppress others, how dare we disobey? My good daughter died in your house for no reason. This is an indisputable fact."

"Yes, now we have evidence."

Another person also stood up and looked at Xu Xiaoli with contempt and hatred. His daughter did not want to become a concubine in the first place, but he forced her to do so.

Now when I think of my daughter, I still burst into tears.

The crusade came one after another.

Zhong Shiming, who had given the group of people enough time to vent their anger, took the photo of the gavel and said, "Quiet!"

Xu Xiaoli still stared with resentment on his face. At this time, he turned to look at Zhong Shiming, "Master Zhong, this is a false accusation."

"Whether it is a false accusation or not, I will find out on my own."

Zhong Shiming dismissed him without dignity.

Xu Xiaoli waved his sleeves angrily and sat back in the chair. He had already scolded Mr. Xu until his head was boiling.

As soon as the onlookers heard about the case, they immediately excitedly started discussing it secretly.

It wasn't until Zhong Shiming took pictures of the gavel and began to interrogate the case that the surrounding area became quiet.

This time, the people who told Zhong Shiming and Xu that they tortured and killed their concubine really came up with evidence.

Some people even said that they could open the coffin and perform an autopsy to prove that his sister was poisoned to death.

Xu Xiaoli felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. He had always secretly supported Xu's actions. After all, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come.

When Zhong Shiming saw Xu Xiaoli like this, he had already made a judgment in his heart.

So, he issued an order to arrest Xu to come and respond.

When the Yamen arrived at the Xuanning Hou Mansion, the frail Xu was still counting the items for sale. She was shocked when she received the report from her servants.

After figuring out the connection, she rushed to the second room angrily.

Mrs. Qiao was drinking tea with high spirits. When she saw Mrs. Xu arriving with a gloomy face, she didn't get up to greet him, she just smiled and said.

"Hey, sister-in-law, have you figured it out?"

She couldn't help but feel happy when she thought that her long-cherished wish was about to come true.

Xu was so angry that she forgot about her illness. She stepped forward and grabbed Qiao's collar.

"Second younger brother and sister, are you really planning to fight to the death?"
