The real daughter died tragically and was reborn, and the whole family cried and begged for forgiven
Chapter 585: This Family Who Eats the Flesh of the Living Dead
Although some things were rescued, the casualties were even more severe.
Moreover, this man-made disaster caused heavy losses to Tianfeng Trading Company!
When Li Qingluo heard the news that night, he apparently left in a hurry, but in order to catch Zong Zheng Wuheng and make him reveal his true identity, he really did not come back in person immediately.
Only let Nanny Zheng enter the city to stabilize the situation.
Zong Zheng Wuheng is dead now, but the anger in Li Qingluo's heart not only did not dissipate, but it became more and more intense.
"This bastard!"
"It's really a cheap death for him!"
Property is fine, but in his eyes, these living lives are not even as valuable as grass and ants.
Li Qingluo, who had just returned to Huaxie Restaurant from Wangzhen Tower, was flipping through a booklet when he slammed his palm on the table in anger.
The table was wobbling and almost collapsing.
Madam Zheng quickly came up to support her: "Don't be angry, young lady."
"He has done so many evil things, he will go to hell when he goes to the underworld."
"You're not even worthy of being reduced to an animal!"
Li Qingluo felt better when he recalled the underworld he had visited before.
The account cannot be settled.
"What about people?"
"Have the injured and the families of the deceased been comforted?"
"Madam, you must tell them in person that no matter what the consequences, we at Wangzhenlou will never shirk responsibility."
"If the compensation due is more than the law requires, then ten times the annual amount shall be paid."
"As long as the doctor doesn't give up, we will treat those who need treatment, no matter how much it costs."
"Even if they recover from their injuries, we will keep them if they can come back. For those who can't come back to work, we will give them enough money to settle down for the rest of their lives."
"Tell them not to worry about the medical fees and just focus on treating the injuries."
"Someone died in the family... Madam, you must give more and comfort them."
Just as Li Qingluo was speaking, there was a noise coming from downstairs.
Que'er came in from outside: "Girl, it's that dead Chun'er... His family is here to make trouble again."
Li Qingluo was very surprised: "Noisy?"
"Again?"
"What's the commotion?"
"Is this Chun'er the girl who usually serves tea and water to the second shopkeeper?"
Madam Zheng quickly explained: "Yes, young lady, it's Chun'er."
"When Chun'er died yesterday, his family was already in a commotion."
"The whole family, young and old, were all rolling around at the door in plain clothes!"
"They were talking about how our Wangzhenlou killed her eldest daughter. We raised her for sixteen or seventeen years and finally found a good time for her marriage. She might have become the wife of the top scholar, but now she was burned to death, bringing disaster to both families."
"You hadn't returned yet, and you hadn't given any instructions, but I had already paid them a lot of money."
"If you calculate it, it's not far from the number you mentioned, young lady. It's already a huge fortune for their family."
"This is more than Chun'er's lifetime wages. Even if they marry Chun'er off, they won't get even one-tenth of the bride price."
"Now they're targeting us and causing trouble. Even though it would be a shame if someone died, it doesn't look like this family is truly sad for Chun'er."
"Look, old servant, they are just greedy. They treat their own daughter as a leech, and now they want to get rich off our Wangzhenlou!"
Que'er agreed with Madam Zheng's words: "Miss, we can't just let them hold us captive. We should just give them whatever they want."
"Then if the families of the other deceased colleagues follow suit, will our Wangzhenlou ever be in trouble?"
Li Qingluo's expression darkened. "Even worse, when they see their families getting more money, they become jealous and kill their family members who could have survived—"
Li Qingluo didn't finish his words.
But Que'er and Aunt Deng both turned pale when they heard this.
"This...isn't this too cruel?"
Que'er just felt unbelievable.
"Is there really such a family in this world?"
Aunt Deng was used to it. "In this world, the least valuable thing is human life."
"If a family finally manages to turn their lives around and live a worry-free life, and someone dies who might become a burden to the family... who wouldn't choose the greater good?"
"Even worse, what if some foolish person chooses to commit suicide in order to make life better for their family?"
The birds didn't dare to speak.
I just feel that the evil and stupidity of human nature have been fully revealed by this incident.
Li Qingluo: "It seems I was wrong."
"Desire is insatiable. I can't feed their appetite too much."
"Ten times the compensation is a touchstone of humanity for them."
"What should be more valuable is human life."
Li Qingluo, having thought it through, quickly stood up and said, "Let's go. Let me see for myself this family that feeds on the flesh of the living dead."
Wangzhen Tower was burned down, so Li Qingluo is now dealing with this matter in Huaxie Restaurant.
Naturally, Chun'er's family was also causing trouble outside the Huaxie Restaurant.
On the way downstairs, Li Qingluo asked some more questions about Chun'er.
What I am most curious about is how Chun'er became the wife of the top scholar?
Madam Deng said, "I have checked everything. Chun'er was engaged when she was young. The man she was supposed to marry was her cousin who she grew up with."
"This cousin has been studying since he was young. At the age of fourteen, he actually passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He is definitely a good student."
"But perhaps it's because of arrogance that all these years have passed, and he's still just a scholar."
"I'm already nineteen, and I'm not even a Juren. I don't know how far I'm from becoming a scholar."
"It's not that I look down on him. I heard that this cousin spends all day drinking and having fun, making friends through literature, and never puts the heart into studying. Not only that, the marriage between the two families should have been finalized long ago, but it seems that the man's family has long looked down on Chun'er, so Chun'er is almost seventeen and still hasn't gotten married."
"Chun'er's family was so smug they thought they had found a good match, and they were spreading the news everywhere, causing the man's family to come to Wangzhen Tower and humiliate Chun'er several times, both openly and covertly."
"Poor Chun'er started working at the age of twelve. Even though he was despised by his cousin and felt he couldn't show his face, he still dared to go home and complain to his parents. I heard that he never got a penny of the wages he earned. He gave it all to his family for food and drink."
"Now that I'm dead, they're still using my name to make a big fuss in this world."
The more Li Qingluo listened, the colder his expression became.
Soon, she saw Chun'er and her family at the door of Huaxie Restaurant.
What a big family.
Chun'er's grandparents, parents, one elder sister, three younger sisters, and two younger brothers all came.
The youngest brother is only four or five years old.
I was held beside my parents in a daze, listening to the adults crying and wailing.
"I was a good girl, working in your house, but I was burned to death—"
"She's not even seventeen yet. In a few months, she'll marry the cousin she's admired since childhood."
"My future son-in-law is a scholar, and he might even become the top scholar in the future. My Chun'er should have enjoyed endless happiness, but now he has nothing—"
"I want my daughter, I want my Chun'er—"
"You guys stay with Chun'er, my real girl!!"
Chun'er's mother sat on the ground, slapping her legs and crying these words over and over again to all the onlookers.
Li Qingluo glanced at Shaqi and Shaba, who had followed him out today, on both sides of the door.
They immediately went down the stairs and came to Chun'er's family, pressing on Chun'er's grandparents.
"W-What are you going to do?"
"Just because you have money, you can bully others?"
"No matter how great you are, you are just a merchant, and you have a merchant's dog!"
"You have a status lower than that of ordinary people like us, and you still want to kill people in broad daylight in front of everyone?"
The old man was trembling and shouting with fear on his face, saying words that were irresponsible of his own life.
Li Qingluo sneered, "I just asked my guards to help you two old men up."
"How did it become murder?"
"And the elderly, they are people, not dogs."
"If you want to be a beast, no one can stop you, but if you want to talk nonsense, we merchants and lowly people cannot tolerate it."
After saying this, she waved her hand and said, "Bring them some stools and let them sit down. We will judge the case in front of the entire city."
"If anything bad happens to these two old people again, our Wangzhenlou will be completely blamed by this family."
Li Qingluo was very polite and military as soon as he came in, which really scared Chun'er and her family.
But Chun'er's mother soon reacted.
"You, are you cursing the lives of my parents-in-law?"
"Well, look everyone—it's not enough that the people from Wangzhenlou and Huaxie Restaurant have harmed my daughter, now they're cursing my parents-in-law to death."
"They are so vicious-hearted—"
Que'er couldn't help but utter a low sigh: "Enough!"
"Shut up!"
"This is our boss, you have no right to shout here!"
"Otherwise we won't be polite."
Chun'er's father also raised his head with his neck stiffened: "Why are you so rude? Are you going to kill our whole family?"
"Come on, come on."
"Anyway, our whole family is here now. Just kill us all in front of the whole city."
"In this way, no one will bother you!"
Li Qingluo: "Rogue."
Chun'er's father and mother looked at each other, "Scoundrel? She actually called us scoundrels?"
"Is there any justice in the world? We just wanted to seek justice for our daughter who died tragically, but we were threatened with our lives and insulted as scoundrels."
"In this world, is it true that anyone with money can rule the country and treat other people's lives as worthless?"
"Just because you're rich, you think you're great. Does that mean you can shut up those of us who just want justice for our daughter?"
Li Qingluo: "If I don't have money!"
"Could you give us fifty taels of silver as compensation yesterday to help Chun'er get buried?"
She raised her voice, and the murderous aura that was revealed in her body seemed to have turned into a chill at this moment, pressing down on Chun'er's family invisibly.
The pressure was so severe that Chun'er's parents couldn't breathe and couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
When everyone around heard this, there was an uproar.
"what?"
"Fifty taels?"
"so much?"
"Such a large sum of money, why are they still making trouble?"
"Impossible? Whose family would give such a huge amount of compensation when a worker dies?"
"What kind of precious body is that girl? Why is she so valuable?"
When Chun'er's family heard this, they jumped up nervously and excitedly to explain.
"How can it be!"
"It's only thirty taels, don't listen to their nonsense!"
"I definitely don't have fifty taels of silver!"
After hearing this, Li Qingluo couldn't help laughing.
"So thirty taels is such a small sum for you."
Chun'er and her family only then realized that they had been tricked by her!
