Hang Shuheng was ashamed. If he let this aunt say a few more words, would there still be any privacy in this family?

"Um, Auntie, are you not busy today?"

Aunt Sun slapped her thigh and said, "Oh, look at me, I haven't fed the pigs at home yet!" As she said that, she hurried back.

When Chai Hunter saw her leaving, he said goodbye to Hang Shuheng in a hurry, and then caught up with her, "Sister-in-law, wait a minute."

Aunt Sun kept walking and asked, "Brother, what else do you want?"

Hunter Chai counted out two copper coins and handed them to her. "Thank you so much, sister-in-law. Otherwise, I would have to go to the county town to sell the game."

"Oh, that's not possible." Aunt Sun quickly refused.

"Yes, yes, just accept it. Otherwise, I have to go to the county town and I will have to spend money to take a bullock cart."

The two of them started arguing over two copper coins on the village path. Someone who was working in the fields saw them and couldn't help asking, "Sister Guilian, what are you doing?"

Early in the morning, she was caught arguing with a strange man on the village road. If she didn't explain the matter on the spot, it would spread throughout the village in no time.

"Hey, this brother is a hunter. He shot two pheasants. He lives close to our village and came to ask if anyone wants to buy them. I took him to Shuheng's house to ask, and Shuheng bought the pheasants. To thank me, this brother had to give me two copper coins."

Aunt Sun spread out the two copper coins on her palm and showed them to others. "I said no, but he insisted on forcing them on me. Look at this..."

"Sister-in-law, please don't be polite. In order to help me lead the way, you haven't even fed the pigs at home!"

When the others understood the whole story, they also advised Aunt Sun to accept the copper coins. "Sister Guilian, the hunter wants to thank you, so you should just accept the two copper coins. Without your help, he might have to go to the city to sell the pheasants, which would not only take time, but also take a long way back."

"That's the truth."

Aunt Sun couldn't resist and finally accepted the two copper coins.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Sun, Hunter Chai left with those who were going to work in the fields, saying that his family would also go in that direction.

During this time, he chatted with the villagers in a casual manner, asking them questions subtly, and by the time they arrived at the end of the field, he knew everything they needed to know.

The child's grandmother, who the villagers called Song Xiucai's wife, also returned with Song Xiucai when he went abroad to study more than 20 years ago. No one knew her origins, but they knew that her appearance was completely ruined and she always covered her face with a veil.

This scholar's wife and Scholar Song had a daughter, who looked like Scholar Song. However, the child born to the daughter after she got married looked like his grandmother.

Assuming that the scholar's wife was the queen who fell off the cliff that year, then everything would make sense. The child's appearance and the appearance of the white jade in this place would also have a reasonable explanation.

After sorting out these things, Chai the Hunter couldn't calm down for a long time. He was thinking about what to do with his family next.

The assassination mission was impossible to complete. He was already deeply sinful, and it was impossible for him to add more sins after hiding for more than 20 years.

Perhaps, after returning this time, their family would have to move to another place and continue to live in hiding, but before that, he still needed to do one thing.

At night, Chai the hunter entered the city before the city gates closed at midnight. The streets were sparsely populated late at night, and ordinary people had already fallen asleep at this time. On the street, he occasionally met a few passers-by, either people who were returning home from a night of drinking and partying, or gamblers who returned home after a day of gambling in the casino.

Chai the hunter took advantage of the night and sneaked into the small courtyard where he had come to trade before.

Mr. Wan felt resentful the whole day about having his money taken away by someone, and even dreamed at night of cutting that person and the man named Hang into pieces.

While he was drowsy, he felt as if he was being spied on. When Mr. Wan opened his eyes, he saw a dark shadow covering the head of the bed. Alarm bells suddenly rang in his mind and he woke up instantly.

"who……"

Early in the morning, when Butler Wan came with breakfast and knocked on the door, there was no response from inside.

He knocked again, "Master, it's time for breakfast."

However, there was still no response from inside, as if there was no one in the room. Butler Wan was very puzzled. Where could the master go so early in the morning?

He pushed the door tentatively, and unexpectedly it opened with just a slight push. The scene in the room shocked him.

Butler Wan knocked the tray in his hand to the ground, and he immediately fell to his knees, shouting in grief: "Master, Master..."

Others heard the noise and rushed over, and were also frightened to their knees by the scene in the room. They saw Master Wan in a white nightgown, hanging from the beams of the room by a white silk. His pale face showed that he had been dead for a long time.

After a long time, someone reacted and said, "Quick, go to the county magistrate's residence to report the death..."

"Master, why can't you let it go..." Among all those people kneeling on the ground and crying, perhaps only Butler Wan was truly sad.

He looked at Master Wan hanging from the beam, and suddenly thought that the reason Master Wan hanged himself was probably because he couldn't stand the humiliation of being deceived, and he was so depressed that he...

Thinking of this, Butler Wan was even more grief-stricken. It was all his fault. He was the one who brought that man here. He could not escape the blame. It was he who killed the master!

After Master Wan's body was put down, Butler Wan lay on Master Wan's cold body and cried bitterly. After a moment, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes firm, and said quietly: "Master, please walk slowly, wait for me, I will go down and serve you."

He took one last deep look at Master Wan's body, and before anyone could react to what he was about to do, he rushed out and slammed his head hard against the doorpost. Blood splattered everywhere, and he died on the spot.

"Butler Wan, Butler Wan..."

No one expected Butler Wan to do this. The scene was in chaos. Everyone rushed to check his injuries, but it was too late. Butler Wan's forehead was bleeding and he was already dead.

When County Magistrate Peng Desheng and his wife rushed to the scene after hearing the news, they were shocked to see this scene.

"Dad, why did you leave like this..." Peng Desheng's wife, Mr. Wan's biological daughter, was filled with grief when she saw her father die.

Peng Desheng was shocked by the loyalty of Wan Guanjia. He didn't expect that Master Wan, who was not a good man, was so lucky to have such a loyal servant by his side. But in Peng Desheng's view, it was just blind loyalty. It was really stupid to sacrifice his life for the sake of the master-servant relationship.
