Chapter 250 I Want to Be a Villain 40

Just like that, when the old lady hurried to the front door of her house after hearing the news, what she faced was not Li Dashan or more than a hundred villagers, but almost everyone in the past, pointing at the Qian family, asking Qian to Everyone quickly corrected their attitude, took action, gave an explanation, and revealed Li Jingui's body.

The old lady was very angry.

When has the reputation of the Qian family been questioned as much as it is today?

She had just distributed porridge and rice a few days ago. Are these people ungrateful for taking advantage of it? They are all so cruel! The same goes for Li Dashan. He was clearly a prostitute before. He had already said that Li Jingui would "let the Qian family handle it", but now he is clearly regretting it! Humph, in vain of his kindness, he even ordered the woman to be raised as his aunt, and planned to give her an identity and bury her in the Qian family, giving her a burial place. Now it seems that it is really unworthy!

The fact that so many people came here was clearly organized and premeditated!

It’s clear that I want money.

One thousand taels?

They dared to speak.

The old lady is really powerful. Her face darkened, her aura opened, and the feeling of oppression emerged.

"Well, Li Dashan! Your daughter set fire to my Qian's house, causing damage to my house. I haven't asked your Li family to take responsibility, but you dare to come and cause trouble? Your daughter is indeed dead, but it was her own fault. She was playing with fire in the middle of the night and burned herself on fire. Our Qian family was kind and prepared a coffin for her. Since you have come here, her body will naturally be returned to you. But do we have to account for the losses she caused? ?”

The old lady used retreat to advance and immediately took the initiative. At least that's what she thought.

And if it was the usual Li Dashan, he would really feel guilty when he heard these words.

But because of Tao Ran's advance plan, Li Dashan was convinced that the Qian family had killed his daughter. Now the old lady's words are clearly a rake after murder and arson, so how can Li Dashan obey?

Not only did he reject the old lady's suggestion that he go into the house to fetch someone, he became furious. He took off his belt and threatened to hang himself in front of Qian's house.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. What's so scary? The richer you are, the more afraid you are of losing your reputation and face! Just like what his daughter told him that day, as long as he messes around in front of the Qian family, that's what the Qian family fears the most! He couldn't let his daughter down.

"You rich people have no heart! You killed my daughter by committing murder and arson, and now you are unjustly accusing her of arson. You are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night! Your Qian family should hand over my daughter's body quickly!"

Li Dashan has his own plan. Only with her daughter's body can she make further claims. He has to play it slow.

Li Dashan wants to hang himself.

Zhang howled miserably.

The Li family's son jumped up and down.

The villagers shouted harshly.

The masses also began to demand the Qian family to return the body to others.

The old lady was absolutely furious. While he was angry at Li Dashan for slandering the Qian family, he was also angry at the rampage of these unruly people.

Who committed the murder and set fire? Pure nonsense!

Who refuses to give up the corpse? It’s just inconvenient to give it openly!

But no one listened to their explanation.

The Qian family sent people out to drive away Li Dashan, but those country bumpkins not only refused to retreat, but also pushed forward, surrounding Li Dashan.

Mrs. Qian could only threaten the newspaper official.

Li Dashan was not afraid.

"I also want to report it to the government. I also want the government people to investigate how my daughter died! Report it, report it quickly."

The scholar met the soldier, and the old lady realized how difficult Li Dashan was.

In order to settle the matter quickly, the old lady could only appease her and asked the Li family to wait for Jin Gui's body at the back door. She immediately had someone send it there.

But Li Dashan still refused, and just lay down in front of Qian's house, asking the Qian family to take out his daughter's body.

The old lady also said that someone would send Jin Gui's body to the Li family.

Li Dashan still refused.

He lay upright, as motionless as a corpse, and asked his two sons to find a place for him to hang himself.

In response to the commotion made by Zhang and others, more and more people came to watch the excitement near the Qian family, and the Qian family was unable to evacuate the crowd at all.

Everyone knows about the fire last night. Not only did people die, but the Qian family is also suspected of murder and arson. For such a big thing, even if you don't have breakfast, you have to come here to eat melon!

In this way, the road in front of Qian's house was packed to the brim.

The Qian family made a last-ditch effort. The housekeeper and several nuns went to several people in the Li family to convey the old lady's message: If you have anything to say, we can discuss the money, but don't make trouble yet...

Not making trouble? Li Dashan felt happy. If he doesn't make trouble, how can he maximize the value of his daughter?

Li Dashan was so exhausted that he only wanted to see his body before he died, and we would talk about other things later. Otherwise he would immediately prepare to hang himself.

Naturally, the old lady would not follow him and send Jin Gui's body out.

As a result of bad luck, there are corpses placed in front of the gate. How can they be worthy of the ancestors above them? Secondly, she heard that the charred body with almost only a skeleton left was scary, and she didn't want the Qian family to become a talking point for the people. Thirdly, the reputation of the Qian family must not be ruined. Therefore, we cannot see the corpse in front of the door, and we cannot let Li Dashan continue to hang himself.

The old lady here is still thinking about recruiting, but she doesn’t expect that the government will actually come...

It wasn't the officials from the Qian family or the Li family, but the road was congested, the police officers patrolling the streets and the government officials came by themselves.

They were about to clear the crowd, but Li Dashan reacted quickly and rushed out, kneeling on the ground with a plop.

"Please let me, the official, make the decision!"

He complained a lot. It's just that his daughter was burned to death in a fire at Qian's house, and now he refuses to give her the body.

Now that there were hundreds of people watching, a few officials naturally had to act impartially and went directly to ask about Qian's family.

Just as the old lady asked for a moment to speak, Mrs. Zhang jumped up again.

"What are you going to do? Why are you talking privately? What is so shameful? Someone in the Qian family is an official, but you want officials to protect each other?"

After being shouted at by Mrs. Zhang, the police officers stopped and did not move forward. If this kind of thing is revealed, they will naturally want to maintain their official reputation.

And the group of villagers brought in by Li Dashan once again played a role, holding their necks high and letting the officials make the decision for the people.

Originally they just wanted to clear the road, but in the end they encountered a murder case. Several officials did not dare to be careless. They started to ask the Qian family for the body of the deceased, and at the same time sent people to invite their superiors, and by the way they also began to understand the case. .

One of the government officials said that when there was a fire last night, their on-duty workers came to Qian's house. At that time, Qian's family clearly said that the fire was under control. Why did they say that there was a fatality last night not even two hours later?

Did the Qian family lie?

Why did they cover the fire?

The Qian family did not report truthfully and were suspected of lying about the fire.

Some people in the crowd also said that they came to Qian's house in the middle of the night to help put out the fire, but were driven away by Qian's family. Now it seems that there is a problem with the Qian family...

The old lady was already under great pressure, but after Li Dashan announced his last words, "The Qian family is going to force me to death," he actually hung up the lanyard that had been prepared for a long time...

With so many people, he couldn't die anyway, so of course he had to let loose.

Damn it, naturally it’s not successful. But the public's discussion was even greater.

The Qian family couldn't afford the two lives and the persecution of officials.

They finally compromised.

The body was brought.

It was just dawn and the coffin had not yet been customized, so the body was carried out covered with a white cloth.

Li Dashan began to cry again that his daughter died without even finding a coffin, and scolded the Qian family for being evil-hearted.

After lifting the white cloth, Li Dashan was even more hysterical. He insisted that his daughter was murdered.

to be honest.

He was also frightened.

He knew that the Qian family was ruthless from the last time his daughter was injured, but he really didn't expect that they would be so ruthless. Li Dashan was also touched by the relationship between father and daughter. How could he not feel sad when his daughter's body was not even intact?

He had too many tears this time, and his cries were more real and contagious.

"Do you hate my daughter so much for blocking your way, and you won't even leave her intact body?"

"How long did it take to burn? My daughter was burned like this?"

"No wonder people say that the fire last night lasted for almost three hours. You just let her burn and didn't try to save her at all, right?"

"You are the ones who started this fire! You just want my daughter to die! You have such a vicious heart!"

"Or is it that the reason why you burned her with fire was to destroy the body and prevent others from knowing what you did to my daughter?"

"No wonder you want me to sign a deed of betrayal. If I sign it, won't I be in trouble with you and lose the qualifications to seek justice for my daughter?"

"You guys are so cruel! You are really not human!"

Li Dashan drank bitterly.

The people watching also started talking.

It's really not right.

There are many questions.

for example:

Only one person died in this fire. Was Li Jingui the only one in the yard? Only burned her? And everyone else is intact?

for example:

The Qian family is one of the most prominent families in the city. These families are full of servants. Logically speaking, when they see a fire, they will definitely react immediately and put out the fire. It is difficult to start a fire, right?

for example:

It had rained a few days ago and the weather was dry. Even if a fire broke out accidentally, how could it not be controlled? Unless someone starts a fire. Then Li Jingui couldn't burn himself to death, right? Someone deliberately set a fire? It seems that this is the only reason to explain the uncontrollable state of fire?

for example:

I heard that there were more than a hundred people in the Qian family. How could it take so long to put out a fire in such a small courtyard? Unless they didn't try their best, or they deliberately waited for the fire to burn through. Otherwise, with the combined efforts of more than a hundred people, such a small courtyard can be saved in an hour or two at most, right?

for example:

Even if the Qian family really couldn't control the fire, if they let the officers, soldiers and neighbors who came specifically to rescue them into the house, and everyone worked together, it would only take half an hour at most to control the fire, but the Qian family lied! They lied about the extent of the fire!

Everyone felt that something was wrong with the Qian family.

If they had been more active, Li Jingui would not have been burned like this. They clearly did it on purpose.

More and more people are beginning to believe that Li Dashan's accusation may be true.

These powerful people are really becoming more and more lawless! It's been difficult enough for everyone during the bad times, but do they still want to treat human life so carelessly? Is the life of the poor not life? Many people began to feel unhappy, began to complain, and began to sympathize with the weak...

More and more people began to suggest to Li Dashan that he should directly file a lawsuit against the Qian family, ask him to seek justice for his daughter, and ask him to ask the Qian family to compensate for the losses.

Some people in the crowd also said frankly that they were willing to write a pleading for him, list all the doubtful points, and help him fight the lawsuit.

Originally, Li Dashan had no intention of reporting to the official, but when he saw Mrs. Qian running over to talk to him in person, he could no longer hide his panic...

Li Dashan gritted his teeth and simply asked his son to carry his daughter's body and go to the Yamen...

Mrs. Qian went to stop him in person, but failed to stop her. As a result, she fell down heavily.

She looked at the vast group of people following Li Dashan to the Yamen, and for the first time in many years, she felt fear. There is still a lot of trouble at home! Something is wrong here again. And each one is worse than the last.

If this matter is not handled properly right now, I'm afraid the Qian family's century-old reputation will be ruined in one day!

And the eldest son.

The eldest son is an official and has a bright future.

The family's reputation will have a direct impact on his career.

Since the murder case cannot be covered up, it can only be an accident, and it cannot be man-made or arson. Otherwise, the eldest son Wusha will be lost!

No, she still had to stop it quickly.

The old lady hurriedly went back to change her clothes and asked someone to prepare a sedan to go to the Yamen.

The anger surged up, and a mouthful of phlegm came out with half a mouthful of blood, which frightened the Qian family...

At the Yamen, Li Dashan wanted to sue the Qian family for murder and arson. This was a big deal. The Yamen said they wanted to conduct an on-the-spot investigation, so after a brief court appearance, it was time to rest.

Li Dashan was invited to the side room to wait. He knew that it was uncertain whether the government would investigate, but someone from the Qian family would definitely come to talk.

In order to keep the opponent under control, he did not let the villagers go home. Instead, he asked his sons to entertain the villagers to the teahouse to have something to eat and drink and wait for news from him. He was always ready to go to Qian's house to cause trouble...

I have to say, he got it right.

The government is also worried about the fire at the moment. The fire is no different than others. The government has the obligation and responsibility to put out the fire. In a certain sense, they are also responsible for Li Jingui's death in the fire. But the Qian family... they also have to give thin noodles. This is troublesome. The common people are scolding, and if it is not handled properly, the yamen will definitely be scolded and the officials will protect each other.

So what they can do now is hope that Li Dashan will not sue and withdraw his complaint quickly.

It just so happened that the Qian family also had this intention.

So the government was happy to act as an intermediary to help both parties resolve the matter.

After Li Dashan was eating and drinking for a while, Mrs. Qian arrived.

There were no outsiders, so the old lady got straight to the point and asked him how much money he wanted. She had thought about it on the way here, and at the worst possible outcome, she would give him three to five hundred taels. He wouldn't refuse this, right?

However, Li Dashan choked the old lady again.

He didn't hide it and just took a bite: "Two thousand taels!"

"How many?"

Li Dashan raised two fingers: "Two thousand taels of silver."

"You're blackmailing me!" It was only a thousand taels just now, but now it's doubled? The old lady was so angry again.

"Why is it blackmail? Is the Qian family's reputation not worth this price? Besides, I won't buy or sell by force, so you don't have to agree!" Li Dashan crossed his legs.

Just when he was in front of the Qian family, he heard someone in the crowd discussing the Qian family's financial resources. After hearing about the Qian family's property, real estate and antique collection in the city, Li Dashan felt that his previous bidding was conservative.

Seeing that the old lady came so quickly and wanted to talk to her so urgently, he decided to be bolder and doubled the previous price.
