Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy
Chapter 75: Evil people have their own trials and tribulations
Xue Zhong was extremely anxious as there had been no progress in the case for several days. Despite his illness and white hair, he went to urge Lord Song and Lord Su.
They felt sympathy for him, but murder requires evidence to be convicted, and words alone are useless. This made Xue Zhong feel dissatisfied, but it was of no avail.
The person Xue Fan sent to investigate Jiang Zongwei returned with a report: "Master, the third young lady had a miscarriage over twenty days ago and kicked Jiang out of her room. He's been sleeping in the side room ever since. Later, he frequently went to underground casinos, lost a lot of money, and borrowed money from the loan shark Brother Bin."
"Have you paid back the money?"
"Of course I paid it back, otherwise Brother Bin would have come to collect the debt long ago."
Xue Fan muttered quietly: "Where did he get the money to pay it back? Could it be the money from my father's treasury?"
"Continue to monitor Jiang Zongwei's every move. Send someone to find Brother Bin and ask him if the money has been repaid. Also, monitor the Jiang family and report any movement immediately."
"Yes."
Xue Fan quickly found Xue Zhong and said, "Dad, Jiang Zongwei took most of the money in your treasury. As for where he hid it, we don't know."
"How to say?"
"The people I sent to investigate Jiang Zongwei came back and reported that he lost a lot of money in an underground casino some time ago and borrowed money from a loan shark named Brother Bin. He has now paid it back. Where did he get the money to pay it back? He must have used the money from your treasury. I just don't know where he hid the gold and silver."
"Should we arrest him and torture him?"
"Send someone to keep a close eye on him and everyone in the Jiang family. I think he's still hiding the money in the capital. We need to catch him while he's trying to move. Otherwise, even if he refuses to admit it, there's nothing we can do. That money can't be seen in public. If the emperor finds out, it would be a serious crime for a killer."
Xue Fan asked in horror: "Dad, is that silver from the national treasury?"
"Don't worry about it. We must do this in secret and never tell anyone."
"Dad, I understand."
Shen Rou had been following Xue Haoyu's case for a while. At this moment, Brother Bin came over and said, "Miss Shen, Master Xue sent someone to ask me to borrow money from Jiang Zongwei."
"What did you say?"
"I said I paid it back."
"Thank you, Brother Bing."
"Miss Shen, don't be polite to me."
Shen Rou sat there muttering quietly, "It seems that Xue Zhong discovered that the warehouse was robbed and suspected that it was Jiang Zongwei who stole it. Someone must be monitoring Jiang Zongwei. It's time to start the next plan. Otherwise, if he finds out about the seal and guesses that someone is deliberately targeting him, he will soon find out that it was me who did it. Now is not the time to reveal my identity."
"Liu Qi, send someone to trick Xue Fan into seeing Jiang Zongwei trying to escape, and then create a misunderstanding between Huo Xi and him, leading to an argument on the street."
"Yes."
Xue Mansion
Since suffering a double blow, Xue Zhong's health has deteriorated significantly. He has a head full of white hair and looks much older. He is also a little dazed and often filled with anxiety and uneasiness.
Mrs. Xue has been ill since her son's death. She lies in bed, her face haggard and her eyes hollow, as if she has lost her soul.
The entire Xue Mansion was shrouded in sadness. The servants in the mansion did not even dare to speak loudly, for fear that the master would hear them and scold them at best, or even beat them at worst.
Xue Zhong's aunt hid in her room and dared not see him. If she said anything wrong, she would be punished.
Fourth Miss Xue Yao was also not liked by Xue Zhong. She and her aunt hid in the room to seek peace and quiet, so as not to run into her father and make him unhappy.
Xue Haoyu was killed and Mrs. Xue fell ill. The whole mansion was filled with sadness, and only Xue Ying's room was cheerful.
She and her daughter had always been treated harshly by Mrs. Xue, who forced her to marry Jiang Zongwei, a man with no power and no influence who already had a wife and children, which made her bear a grudge.
Xue Ying's mood improved and her body recovered. She took Qiu Shuang, Qiu Ju, and two servants from the mansion and quietly left through the back door to avoid being found out and blamed by her father.
Only Old Lady Jiang and Zhang were at the Jiang family today. The moment Zhang opened the door, she was frightened by Xue Ying's aggressive approach.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Revenge for my unborn child."
Zhang was suddenly panicked and walked quickly into the room.
Xue Ying looked at Zhang viciously and ordered, "Xiaoshun, Achang, beat her hard until she kneels down and begs for mercy."
The two servants immediately started punching and kicking Zhang. How could a woman be a match for two servants? Soon Zhang's head was bleeding and she kept wailing. Even so, Xue Ying had no intention of letting her go.
Zhang shouted, "Mother, save me! They are going to beat me to death."
Old Mrs. Jiang came out and saw her second daughter-in-law being beaten. She quickly tried to stop him, saying, "Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you doing? We're a family and we can talk it out. Why do you have to embarrass us?"
Xue Ying sneered, "We're a family, are you worthy? Why don't you look in the mirror and see what a disgusting face you have. She killed my child, and this is what she deserves. If you dare to stop me, I won't show any mercy."
"You've gone too far. Your child is gone. Our whole family is very sad. Tell them to stop immediately. If someone dies, it will be a tough situation for you."
"You Jiang family are a bunch of ants who all rely on my Xue family for survival. You still want to turn the tables and become equals to my Xue family. You are really asking for your own death."
"Your words are so harsh! My son married you, not sold you to your Xue family. He is your husband and also my son. We paid for his high school education, so it is only natural for him to support us. How can you call us ants? We are ants, but what are you?"
"Don't you know? Jiang Zongwei is just a dog of my Xue family. He bites wherever the master points. Don't think of yourself as a human being. You are not worthy."
In the eyes of Mrs. Jiang, the eldest son is the pride of her family, but Xue Ying actually belittled her precious son as worthless.
She immediately became furious and yelled at Xue Ying: "You are an uneducated child born by an aunt, how dare you belittle my son like this! He is the pride of our family, the pillar of our family, and your man. Why did you marry him if you looked down on him a long time ago?"
"He's a treasure in your eyes, but he's just a servant in our family. If my father hadn't agreed, do you think I would marry a useless man like him?"
After hearing what Xue Ying said, Old Lady Zhang became even angrier and felt sorry for her son. It turned out that he had been living such a wronged and humble life in the Xue family.
Pointing at Xue Ying's nose, she angrily cursed, "How dare you, you bitch, speak ill of my son in front of me! Today I'm going to teach you how to be a daughter-in-law."
She had forgotten that Xue Ying was the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, and she quickly ran to Xue Ying and raised her hand to hit her.
Xue Ying didn't care that she was her mother-in-law and directly ordered: "Qiushuang Qiuju, teach her a lesson. She dared to hit me, teach her a lesson."
"Yes."
The two maids attacked Old Lady Jiang directly. Old Lady Jiang was no match for the two maids due to her age and was quickly knocked to the ground. The screams of ghosts and wolves resounded through the sky.
Her miserable voice attracted many onlookers. Some people pointed and talked, but no one dared to step forward to stop her. After all, ordinary people did not want to offend the Shangshu Mansion.
In the crowd, Shen Rou happily watched Old Mrs. Jiang being beaten. She had used her mother-in-law's attitude to deal with her mother in the past, and now she was being beaten by her daughter-in-law and screaming in pain. It was really gratifying.
"Su Xin, send someone to call the filial son Jiang Zongwei over, otherwise his mother will be beaten to death by his wife."
"Yes."
