Quick Wear: Let go of the desire to help others and respect the burial of the insane.

Even if a butcher bought a small official position with his own ability.

Officially became a member of the official team.

But the butcher label on people can never be removed.

A fierce look flashed in Marquis An Ning's eyes.

The butcher didn't know where he heard the news.

He specifically stated the name of the woman he would marry, Yang Shunyi, a girl from the Marquis's Mansion, and would not marry any other girl from the remote mountains and countryside.

Marquis An Ning was about to get angry.

The butcher spoke frankly.

At that time, the butcher's father, the old butcher, made an agreement with the Marquis of An Ning.

The old butcher saved Marquis An Ning's life.

Marquis An Ning agreed to marry a girl named Yang to the butcher, and promised that she would be a daughter who was raised in a pampered manner.

Currently, only Yang Shunyi meets these two requirements.

When Yang Shunyi heard that the butcher came to propose marriage with a token of trust, he was shocked and hid in the arms of the marquis' wife and cried heartfeltly.

She had already agreed to it.

The young general from the west city family has a secret crush on her, which is exactly what she wants. She hopes that if she marries him, she will enjoy wealth and glory.

If I marry a butcher, not only can I not maintain a life of luxury, I'm afraid I'll have to get up early every day, follow the butcher wherever he goes, and accompany the butcher to pick up pig manure!

I also heard that the butcher was violent and had a bad temper.

A woman has been beaten to death.

If she married him, wouldn't that be like jumping into a fire pit? She'd probably die in a few years.

"Mother! I don't want to get married. Don't I have an older sister? Can I let her marry him?"

The people in the Marquis' Mansion knew about the existence of willow catkins three or four years ago.

Watching willow catkins competing with wild dogs for food.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion felt that bringing Liu Xu home was a disgrace to the family.

So they all tacitly agreed not to mention Liu Xu's name, as if this daughter of a marquis did not exist in the world.

Only when the people in the Marquis' Mansion need to sacrifice the interests of others will they remember that there is a daughter who has been left behind.

The Marquis's wife shook her head.

"That butcher specifically asked to marry you and has caused a stir in the capital. If your father refuses, he will be breaking his promise."

This made the already precarious reputation of the Marquisate even worse, although there was not much left to begin with.

But there was another reason that Madam Hou did not tell Yang Shunyi.

That is, they simply couldn't find the willow catkins.

I think the willow catkins are drifting around, probably wandering in the mountains somewhere.

"Mom..." Yang Shunyi bit his handkerchief, wishing he could get rid of the butcher and Liu Xu as soon as possible.

Why would a noble lady like her marry a stinking butcher?

If I have to marry, it would be Liu Catkins who will suffer!

"Don't be afraid, Shunyi. I have my own solution."

The butcher had traveled thousands of miles from another province to come to the capital.

He was a country boy who had never tasted good food, but soon he was addicted to the prosperous Ten Miles Spring Breeze.

Marquis An Ning, the future father-in-law, did not show up, but instead invited his servants to entertain the husband of the marquis.

The butcher also felt that he had turned over a new leaf. Taking advantage of the favorable conditions of the Marquis' Mansion, he went from being a servant to being the master.

I was addicted to Zui Xiang Lou and didn't want to leave.

Five days later.

The butcher's body was found on a shallow beach.

His body was swollen all over and he died suddenly. When he was found, his body had already rotted and smelled bad, with eagles pecking at his eyes and wild dogs gnawing at his internal organs.

Marquis An Ning hypocritically reported the matter to the authorities, vowing to seek justice for his future son-in-law.

In no mood.

The butcher did not drown after being drunk.

Instead, he was stabbed to death again and again, and then soaked in water. When his clothes were opened, they showed scars all over his body.

Marquis An Ning shed a few hypocritical tears.

"My dear son-in-law, why are you leaving so early?"

After the Dali Temple people found a jade pendant with the word "An Ning" engraved on it in the butcher's throat, Marquis An Ning became uneasy again.

"How can finding a jade pendant in the throat prove that this matter is related to my An Ning Marquis Mansion?"

Subsequently.

A suicide note written in the butcher's own blood was found on a tree.

As expected, the An Ning Marquisate was immediately caught up in a huge public opinion storm.

Regardless of whether the man was Marquis An Ning or not, he killed him because he looked down on the butcher's identity.

Regardless of whether it was because Marquis An Ning doted on his children and did not want Yang Shunyi to marry, he resorted to such despicable means.

The butcher’s death must be related to the Marquis’ Mansion.

The Marquis was in a high position and had great power. If a butcher with no background died, he could just use a scapegoat to take the blame without damaging his foundation.

therefore.

The old servant who had accompanied the butcher at the beginning finally confessed under various tortures.

The old servant revealed the truth.

He had served Miss Yang Shunyi for many years and was in love with her. He saw the butcher using the favor of saving his life to force Yang Shunyi to marry him.

He was jealous of the butcher and hated him at the same time, and when the butcher was drunk, he had evil intentions.

He stabbed the butcher to death and then pushed him into the water to destroy the body. Who would have thought that the butcher still had breath left to write a suicide note.

The old servant is over sixty years old.

He has long been unable to walk.

When he was imprisoned in the imperial prison, he looked calm and thought to himself.

"I was wronged."

"Master will definitely find a way to rescue me!"

Afterwards, he was "beaten" with sticks.

He became dying before the medicine was sent from Yang Mansion, and died soon after.

Madam Hou sighed as she tasted the expensive Longjing tea.

"This old dog is still loyal. I heard his hometown is in some mountainous county. Send his ashes and three taels of silver to his family."

"Yeah yeah."

The old servant was named Ge Laogou and had served the Yang family for many years.

In his previous life, he was the most loyal dog to his master, humbly to himself and barking at others, and he claimed that the relationship between master and servant was deep and affectionate.

He withheld Liu Xu's food and charcoal, leaving her to suffer from hunger and cold while sick.

He once said to Liu Xu bluntly, "Masters are all stars in the sky, and you, a lowly person, are worthy of wanting to be a star!"

The criminal law of the Great Chu was harsh.

But only for people without background.

The stars in the sky are using Ge Laogou as a scapegoat, and beating him to death with sticks is only worthy of a few taels of silver.

As for the truth.

Marquis An Ning did not know the full picture.

I'm afraid only Ning Jun knows the answer.

After Ge Laogou pushed the drunk butcher who was sleeping like a corpse into the river.

Ning Jun pulled the butcher ashore, tied him up with iron chains, and sliced ​​his flesh piece by piece.

The butcher woke up in pain, and after seeing Ning Jun's appearance clearly, he was about to insult him.

The next moment his tongue was cut off.

The butcher's tongue was thrown away to feed the dogs. His legs trembled and his crotch was covered with yellow fluid. He didn't understand how he had offended the master.

"You don't have to blame me."

"If you want to blame someone, blame the An Ning Marquisate."

Ning Jun sat down and began to sharpen his bone-cutting knife in front of a low stool.

The shinier the bone-cutting knife became, the more panicked the butcher became.

"If Marquis An Ning hadn't wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have had that chance—"

"Don't you agree? Zhao Erdan?"

Zhao Erdan is the old butcher's son.

However, Marquis An Ning chose the simplest way, which was to kill the son of his savior to eliminate the trouble once and for all.

So what if he is the benefactor’s son? So what if he is the benefactor?

The oath he mentioned was just to show his noble character, not to let the peasants come and climb the high branches!

"Write it, stain it with blood, and write your suicide note, saying that it was the An Ning Marquisate who harmed you."
