Chapter 247 I Want to Be a Villain 37
Question: How did Li Dashan get into trouble with the Qian family so quickly?
Tao Ran really didn't do this.
According to Tao Ran's assumption, Li Dashan would not come to the house until the news of the fire reached the countryside at least. The specific time could only be in the afternoon, tomorrow or even later.
In fact, the ultimate reason why Li Dashan reacted so quickly was the Taoist priest.
It turns out that although the Taoist priest sent a female corpse last night, he didn't think much about it. After all, after dawn, he and Jin Gui would start a new round of deception to get the last sum of money.
So the Taoist priest listened to Tao Ran's scare words about the female corpse, and never thought that Jin Gui would cause any big trouble until he heard that there was a fire in Qian's house. There's a fire!
He was startled and quickly looked around.
When he looked through the telescope, he felt something was not good.
He quickly went down the mountain towards the fire.
As soon as he arrived near Qian's house, he knew that things were really bad. He had walked to the Qian family too many times, and it became clear to him that the place where the fire was burning was in the Jingui Courtyard, and the intensity of the fire was clearly man-made.
Who did it and what the purpose was, others don’t know but he doesn’t know?
This is someone trying to hide the truth and want the golden cicada to escape from its shell!
Although the Taoist priest didn't know whether Jin Gui could successfully escape or whether she had any other accomplices, he knew that he had somehow become an accomplice again. Not only was he an accomplice in deception, he was also an accomplice in setting fires and helping Li Jingui escape from the Qian family!
Damn it! Is he wronged? !
As soon as this incident came out, it was obvious that he was telling the Qian family that his recent religious services were all nonsense. The Qian family must have decided that he was a liar and wanted to settle the score with him. If Li Jingui is exposed or is captured because of a loophole, I'm afraid he will still be exposed as a liar and the cooperation between the two of them.
Therefore, he is already in bad luck!
At the worst, the money and silver stolen from the family must be returned in full. More seriously, he will not be able to escape jail. If he is unable to practice this business again in the future, he will have to compensate the Qian family for their losses.
Li Jingui was a peasant girl. When the time came, she spread her hands and passed away without anything. But what should he do?
What should he do with so many disciples?
The Taoist priest was filled with hatred and scolded Li Jingui for being vicious.
He immediately ran back to his little Taoist temple, took his little Taoist priest and all his gold and silver and other things, and prepared to run away overnight.
Uncertain of whether he would be exposed, he left another note on the door.
The Taoist priest spent the night looking for a place to place his disciples first, and after changing into ordinary people's clothes, he hurried to the countryside as quickly as possible.
It was his parents' home in the countryside of Jingui that he went to.
He wants to find Li Jingui to settle this account! Let’s see what to do and what to say! No matter what, she has to compensate for her losses!
The Taoist priest didn't know that Jin Gui had committed theft after escaping from the Qian family. He just thought that once a peasant girl was freed, she would definitely go home as soon as possible.
So the Taoist priest was glad that he still remembered the Li family along the way, and thought of many ways to deal with Li Jingui.
However, when I finally arrived in the middle of the night, I found that there wasn't even a candle in that house.
As he got closer, he didn't hear any words in the room.
Is it possible that Li Jingui didn't come home?
The Taoist priest knew that there were many men in the Li family, so he was afraid that he would suffer a loss or scare the snake, so he simply waited until dawn.
He didn't wait for Li Jingui, but saw Li Dashan open the door and come out to stretch.
Li Dashan's idle and lazy behavior really didn't look like Li Jingui's reaction when he came back, and the Taoist priest felt that it was not good.
He went up to test it and mentioned Jin Gui.
Li Dashan grinned happily, saying that his family Jin Gui was very successful, and now he was married to a high-ranking family in the city. The pride on his face didn't seem to be concealed at all.
The Taoist priest gritted his teeth and simply told the story about the Qian family's fire last night and the rumors that the Qian family's new aunt had died.
The steamed bun in Li Dashan's hand fell to the ground at that time.
He remembered his daughter's repeated warnings to him, saying that the Qian family wanted to kill her to make way for her cousin...
Be good!
Something really happened?
Really happened?
The Qian family is so cruel!
Li Dashan: "Where did the fire start in the Qian family?"
"Northeast corner."
"Oops!" Li Dashan vaguely remembered that Jin Gui said that she had recently changed her residence and moved to a yard in the northeast corner of Qian's house. These damn gangs finally took action.
Naturally, Li Dashan had to hurry up and confirm. If it was true, he would never be able to let his daughter down, and he would have to settle this account with the Qian family!
The Li family became busy. Li Dashan directly asked someone to pull a cart to take him into the city as quickly as possible, while his two sons hurriedly found helpers to prepare for the arrival in the city.
The Taoist priest took the opportunity to take a closer look at Li's house and further confirmed that Li Jingui had not returned home in the middle of the night. He also sighed deeply. It's over, it's over. It seems that he can only escape and avoid the limelight for a while...
On the other side, the old lady found it hard not to panic when she heard that Li Dashan came to make trouble.
"Send it away! Go and send it away quickly!"
The old lady just didn't want people to know that there was a fire last night and someone died in the house, so she didn't report it to the official. We can't let a country bumpkin mess up now.
"Then Li Dashan is blind to money. Just take fifty taels and tell him to shut up!"
"yes!"
Aunt Cai took the silver and ran out.
"Wait a minute!" the old lady stopped again. "You quietly invite Li Dashan aside, comfort him and tell him that the government wants to buy Jin Gui, and is willing to pay fifty taels for him to sign a deed of sale."
In this way, the identity of Jin Gui who died in Qian's house, and the subsequent aftermath and explanation are completely different. As long as Jin Gui is from the Qian family, everything will be easier to handle. "How did Jin Gui die?" The Qian family has the final say.
Aunt Cai understood. The old lady wanted Li Dashan to sign a deed of betrayal before she could tell him that Jin Gui was gone...
Aunt Cai was quite confident about blocking Li Dashan's mouth.
Not difficult!
How many decent maids can I buy with fifty taels of silver?
A rural daughter-in-law like Li Jingui who knows nothing and cannot read is even more worthless.
But the Qian family spent almost two hundred taels of silver on Li Jingui one after another. Dozens of country bumpkins didn't have that much money! Li Dashan should have woken up from his dream with a smile, and his ancestral graves should have been smoking. Naturally, he had to accept the banknote, stamp it with his fingerprints, and get out.
But Aunt Cai really didn't expect that Li Dashan would sneer after hearing that the Qian family planned to spend fifty taels on Jin Gui.
"Am I the one selling my daughter?"
"……"do not you? Haven't you been since the beginning? Aunt Cai was puzzled. Are you looking down on fifty taels?
It really is!
Li Dashan had received "guidance" from his daughter before. His daughter repeatedly warned him not to sign a deed of betrayal, but he didn't expect that the Qian family would actually do this. It can be seen that what the daughter expected was true.
With this in mind, Li Dashan became even more determined to follow his daughter's wishes.
My daughter said that according to the financial resources of the Qian family, they would have to ask for three to five hundred taels of silver.
But now this group of people only took out fifty taels and wanted to send him away. They looked down on him too much.
"I just want to see my daughter. I don't want to sell my daughter! Where is my daughter? Call her out. As a father, I just want to say a few words to her!"
