Chapter 285 I Want to Be a Villain 75

Everyone in the second room screamed and ran out, which attracted a large number of people from the Qian Mansion to stop and chase them.

The old lady’s main courtyard is no exception.

Without Qian Dingbao, Aunt Cai was in charge of almost everything in the backyard.

When she heard the yelling, she quickly led people to chase after him.

Due to this accident, there were only two little maids left in the main courtyard.

Tao Ran dealt with the two of them easily and then entered the old lady's room.

The old lady Qian was still asleep. After Tao Ran walked around the room, he took something from the dressing table and wiped it on, then stepped forward and pushed the old lady.

Mrs. Qian slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw in a daze was a pale face with two streaks of red...

"Ghost!" - Mrs. Qian's pupils trembled for a while. She couldn't scream, but she was screaming fiercely in her heart.

Just to scare her, Tao Ran slowly came closer and said, "Give me back my life."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Mrs. Qian suddenly felt that the voice sounded familiar.

No matter how you feel, this voice sounds like... Li Jingui?

Then Li Jingui...is he asking for his life?

Tao Ran's fingers were warm, so in order to scare the old witch, he deliberately dug the tips of his nails into her neck.

It was no surprise that the old witch rolled her eyelids and fainted again before even exerting any force on her nails.

"It's really useless!" When Tao Ran pretended to be a doctor, the concierge said that the old lady's illness has been deteriorating rapidly recently, and many local doctors have been invited. The explanation is the same: it is difficult to fully recover, and even if No more stimulation. If I get frightened again, I'm afraid I will have to lie down and have to be cared for by others...

In this case, Tao Ran naturally had to do something.

Didn't Jin Gui once live a life like a walking dead? It’s time for this old woman to have a good taste. This old woman was vicious, and she was the culprit of Jin Gui's tragedy. Even after Jin Gui's death, she was unwilling to let him go. She actually hired a Taoist priest to make the poor girl's soul go to pieces.

This old woman, it is not a pity to die, she should suffer well!

For the head of a big family, an old witch who has been sitting at the top, holding great power and controlling life and death in the backyard, there is no torture like lying there, unable to do anything, unable to say anything, unable to control, and can only watch helplessly. It’s painful…

Tao Ran didn't give up and gave Mrs. Qian another small cut.

Blood spilled out.

She dipped the blood and wrote the words "Give me back my life" directly on the top of the curtain.

She also deliberately made the words twisted and terrifying to ensure that Mrs. Qian would be stimulated again when she woke up. Conveniently, she used blood to draw a grimace on the old lady's face.

After doing this, she put down the curtain, pretending that the old lady was still sleeping, and took the incense burner to smoke the bed board...

The Qian family was in chaos. The people from the second house went to the stable to set up a carriage, and there they had a conflict with the Qian family. Tao Ran took advantage of the chaos and left the Qian family easily.

She is still busy. This time she quickly left the city and returned to her sect.

She found the Taoist priest.

"Let's talk?"

Taoist priests have become more and more obedient recently.

After he discovered that what this so-called sect was doing, cheating and abduction, was actually not much different from his old business, it seemed that it was not so difficult to accept it.

In particular, he discovered that they had indeed helped many people. Under their leadership, a large number of refugees, including old, weak, women and children, had been supported and relied on, and lived a peaceful and stable life.

He is a Taoist and believes in the Taoist God and the people. He is not afraid of ghosts and gods, but he is afraid of karma. So he thought that after making enough money, he could do some good deeds to make up for the sins he had committed.

Now it seems that we can have both worlds here?

So after Tao Ran made the request, although the Taoist priest cursed him, he actually agreed...

At this time, Qian Dingbao was already at the provincial government office.

On behalf of the Qian family, he expressed his dissatisfaction with the previous judgment and requested a re-investigation of the incident in the provincial capital.

He guaranteed with his personality that there was someone behind the incident.

He listed a number of doubts in one breath and placed the suspect on the "kidnapper".

The magistrate smiled and asked, "Where are the kidnappers?"

"Isn't this what you need to investigate?"

The magistrate accepted Qian Dingbao's doubtful piece of paper and asked him to go back and wait for news...

But Qian Dingbao was also an official himself. He knew that the magistrate was trying to shirk the case, so he said bluntly: "It's okay, sir, if you don't want to retrial, but the amount of compensation must be renegotiated."

The magistrate sneered a few times.

Of course, there can't be a retrial. If there is a retrial, with so many doubts raised by the Qian family now, wouldn't it reflect the sloppiness of his previous trial? Where does he have the dignity of a local official?

"It's up to you. But whether Zuiyuelou agrees or not, I can't control it."

Soon, the Madam of Zuiyue Tower was also called.

Qian Dingbao: "Twenty thousand taels is absolutely impossible. But since my other hospital has been plotted by others, it is indeed responsible for the failure to protect it, so the most we can offer is two thousand taels of silver to settle the matter."

"Two thousand taels?" The madam refused, sneering.

"Then let's retry it!" Qian Dingbao once again asked the magistrate to investigate all the doubtful points on the piece of paper he gave.

It was almost noon, and Qian Dingbao said that he would wait for news in the afternoon...

The madam left angrily.

But she didn't go back to Zuiyue Tower.

Can it be an ordinary person who can open a flower house in one place and make it bigger?

Tao Ran took this point in mind and designed such a play.

Behind Zuiyue Lou, there is certainly the strong support of powerful people.

At this time, the madam naturally had to ask for help.

The logic is simple: if the Qian family did it, they can claim 20,000 taels, but if it is determined that it was done by someone else or a kidnapper, it will be a big deal.

Twenty thousand taels is not a small amount, even among the rich and powerful, it is a lot of money, so this must be done by the Qian family.

So the boss behind Zuiyue Tower found the magistrate.

In fact, the magistrate didn't want this matter to be complicated. It would be best if the Qian family took the blame. Otherwise, where would he find the kidnapper? If such a big case cannot be solved, won't it still affect his official reputation?

"There must be some way to start with Qian's family? Either the money can't be traced by Dingbao, or it can't be traced."

The big guys were at a loss, and someone came to their door!

First, an official came to report that a large group of villagers came to the provincial capital in the name of attacking the Qian family. Now they were on their way to the Yamen, followed by thousands of people watching the excitement.

"Sir, I just heard that these villagers are here to sue the Qian family and Qian Dingbao. They say that the Qian family accused the villagers of being kidnappers in order to shirk the crime of murder and arson. They are here to seek justice!"

The big guys’ eyes lit up a bit.

"In other words, these people can prove that Qian Dingbao and the Qian family lied, and there was no kidnapper from beginning to end. The kidnapper theory was made up by them in order to escape guilt, right?"

"That's what it means."

The magistrate made a show of smashing the teacup and slamming the table, "How dare you Qian family! You actually lied in front of me in order to get away with the crime. I must make good decisions for those poor people. The bold money guarantee is clearly a nuisance to the court and contempt for me. Official, you ignore the law! As an official of the imperial court, if you know the law and break it, your crime will be increased by one degree!"

The big bosses clasped their fists: "Your Majesty is upright, enforces the law impartially, and is not afraid of power, which is admirable. We and the people in the provincial capital express our gratitude to you for your great contributions!"
