Chapter 240 The real culprit behind the drug that kills off children
Mr. Xia went to Liangguan County on the pretext of doing business. He was worried that the people around him might be bribed, so he went to Huaman Pavilion secretly to buy information under the pretext of discussing with his partners and with their help, he avoided the people he brought with him.
Mr. Xia bought a total of three pieces of information in Huaman Pavilion: one was the real culprit and purpose of poisoning them father and son, two was the person behind the collapse of the stage and his purpose, and three was the list of all the unfaithful people in the Xia Mansion.
Three pieces of news, a total of fifty thousand taels.
This amount of money was almost the annual net income of the Xia family. Mr. Xia agreed without blinking an eye and paid a deposit of five thousand taels on the spot.
Compared with a year's income, his own life and the life of his family are more important. He is not the kind of person who is short-sighted, otherwise he would have no life to spend the money!
The partners were old friends, and the things they wanted to discuss were quickly settled. Mr. Xia rushed back to Gaohuai County the next day. The round trip took only more than 20 days, which was almost half the time than the previous leisurely ride in a horse carriage.
The informant from Hua Mange who was in charge of the investigation packed his bags and set off for Gaohuai County that day after receiving the business. Coincidentally, he met Hua Bei and got two pieces of information about the mission, leaving only the last and most time-consuming one.
The last task was worth 20,000 taels, so on the night when Mr. Xia returned to the Xia Mansion, the informant sneaked into the Xia Mansion and settled the first two tasks with Mr. Xia in the study. Mr. Xia was also straightforward and immediately paid off 30,000 taels, and the remaining 15,000 taels would be settled after getting accurate information.
At this time, Master Xia was the only one in the study. Looking at the news in his hand, his face became increasingly gloomy.
Master Xia never expected that the person behind the collapse of the stage was actually the eldest daughter of the Ruan family, an unmarried girl, and it was for such a trivial reason!
At this moment, he wished he could rush to Ruan's house and throw the man into jail. Just because of such a low-brow reason, several innocent people had to die in vain. This was simply an unforgivable crime!
The head of the Ruan family is not a good person either. It is reasonable for him to raise a daughter like this, but such a person deserves to be put to death!
But, the Xia family can’t fight against the Ruan family at all!
Although the Ruan family gradually declined, they were still the richest family in Gaohuai County. In addition to their rich family background, the most important thing was that the sister of the head of the Ruan family was the wife of the prefect of Qi'an County!
Miss Ruan's husband's family is a branch of a minister in the capital. He doesn't know what that gentleman is like, but he knows that unless the gentleman is an upright and honest official, he will never allow someone from his family, especially someone who can provide a lot of money, to be bullied.
There are less than five days left until Miss Ruan gets married. Unless this marriage is ruined, otherwise...
By the way, Hua Man Ge seems to be able to buy lives!
But... the price is not something that ordinary people can afford. He... doesn't seem to have enough family background. Moreover, it is not worth it to spend all his money just to buy Miss Ruan's life.
This... let him think about it carefully.
Master Xia continued to read the news, and found out that the people who poisoned him were actually them - his good cousin and his former concubine Wei!
At that time, the family had not yet been divided, and several branches lived together. It was not until my grandfather passed away and my father inherited the position of head of the family that the family was divided.
At that time, he was already twenty years old and Feng'er was already three years old. In addition, his father had other sons and daughters, making it a large family, so it was inevitable to divide the family.
At that time, Wei had been married for a year, but her belly was still not moving. Zhao and Liu, who came into the house two months later than her, became pregnant one after another and both gave birth to sons.
Wei was pretty, and once Mr. Xia's interest in her wore off, he seldom visited her. Wei's chances of getting pregnant were even smaller, and Zhao and Liu, who already had sons, always liked to show off in front of Wei or to suppress her.
Mrs. Xia would never care about the fights among her concubines and would rather watch them fight each other. At that time, Wei was very depressed and even wanted to commit suicide.
Once he accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family who was passing by. This was how the two of them came into contact with each other.
At that time, Mr. Xia's father was already working on the division of the family. The eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family wanted to keep an eye on the first branch, so he set his sights on Wei.
The illegitimate eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family caused an accident and the two of them got together.
After the first time, Wei no longer resisted the second time, and it became a natural thing after that. Even if the second house was separated, it could not stop the two of them.
The eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family has lived in the Xia Mansion for many years. In order to enjoy such incestuous excitement with Wei, he is willing to go through a dog hole for this. As long as Wei finds an opportunity, she will go out and hang out with him.
The two of them had been fooling around for more than half a year, and no one knew about it except their confidants.
Then, Wei finally succeeded in getting pregnant.
After she became pregnant, Wei arranged for Mr. Xia to come to her yard and stay overnight. After that, she became pregnant openly and gave birth to the child.
The child born to Wei was the fourth boy in the eldest branch of the Xia family. Wei had instilled in him the idea that Mr. Xia had forced him to marry her in order to target his biological father, so Mr. Xia was an enemy.
After having this child, Wei suggested that Mr. Xia should never have any more children, so that all the family property would belong to their son.
Although the eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family was shocked by Wei's cruelty, he had to say that he was very satisfied. At the same time, he came up with a better idea, which was to make sure that the new bride brought into the house after Master Xia would give birth to the slaves' children!
Of course, this "slave" was just what he told Wei. In reality, those were all his children. In the future, no matter whether it was the children born to Wei who obtained the assets of the first house or other children, they would all be his in the end. It was not safe to have only one child born to Wei.
In order to successfully have a child, he secretly dug a secret passage. It can be said that except for Madam Xia, he had sex with all of Mr. Xia's concubines.
Perhaps it was because he indulged himself too much. In less than ten years, he was no longer good in that aspect. As Mr. Xia grew older and his family business grew bigger, he became less interested in sex. Therefore, he thought it was normal that no more children were born in the backyard.
In order to prevent Mr. Xia's children from inheriting the family business, he gave all of Mr. Xia's children the same poison that would make them extinct, even the girl was no exception.
The eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family made it impossible for Mr. Xia's daughters to have children, and made them be tortured by their in-laws!
I believe that when Mr. Xia learned that his child was unable to have children, and that the children he thought were his grandchildren were all lively, cute, and smart, and when he was told this news before he died, his face must have been very interesting.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. The eldest son of the second branch of the Xia family became seriously ill due to excessive indulgence. He died of a cold a few years ago.
Obviously, the scourge that had lasted for thousands of years did not come to him.
