Chapter 138 Mr. Zhuang is dead

Because Mr. Zhuang had some reputation among scholars, his death aroused the memory of some people. Someone deliberately erected a stone monument on the steep mountain road.

Zhuang Yi, who was far away in the capital, learned of his father's death, and was not too sad because Luo Jingce had a lot of things to do in time for the year-end sacrifices, and Zhuang Yi had no time to rest, let alone go back to deal with this matter. However, he only let the old servants at home handle the funeral affairs.

The old servant came and left quickly. Before leaving, he went to the place where the accident happened and took away some of Mr. Zhuang's clothes.

Jiang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking back on the scene that day, it was really dangerous.

After Jiang Hu was taken to the county government, one night a man in black broke into the cell with the intention of killing Jiang Hu. Luo Tingye suddenly appeared to stop him.

But Jiang Hu was still injured by the man in black.

Afterwards, the man in black thought he had used the smoke to escape.

He thought he could escape, but he never thought that Luo Tingye had been prepared. He had prepared fluorescent powder in advance. Following the traces of the fluorescent powder, they found where Mr. Zhuang lived.

At first, Mr. Zhuang was still pretending to be stupid. It wasn't until he saw the fluorescent powder in Jiang Qian's hand that he understood what was going on.

He smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands."

Jiang Qian was disappointed and asked: "Why do you do this, sir?"

Mr. Zhuang raised his chest and raised his head with an expression of no regrets, "Until they die, the Jiang family will not recover."

"Just because of this?"

Mr. Zhuang tried to persuade Jiang Qian, "Now that the older generation of the Jiang family is dead, most of the remaining younger generations don't understand anything. As long as they are taught well, the Jiang family will definitely become a big family. Isn't this right?" Okay?"

No, although Jiang Qian didn't agree with some of the practices of his uncles and uncles, from their point of view, it might not be wrong.

He doesn't agree, but understands.

Mr. Zhuang added: "Without their obstruction, you can take Mrs. Jiang to a higher position. It will be good for you too. A real man doesn't stick to trivial matters. If you want to move up, you have to make sacrifices."

"If you can't hold Mrs. Jiang in your hands, Mrs. Jiang will definitely become a burden to you in the future. But if you can hold Mrs. Jiang in your hands, Mrs. Jiang will become your helper. Isn't that good?"

"Mr. Zhuang's words are so good. People who don't know think you are so selfless. In the end, you just want to hold the entire Jiang family in your hands to pave the way for your son. It seems that you are doing it for Jiang. Qianhao is the same.

Luo Tingye exposed his lies mercilessly, with cold eyes and a sinister voice.

Mr. Zhuang's expression remained unchanged, "Master Luo is joking, what virtue do I have to hold Mrs. Jiang in my hand?"

"As long as Jiang Qian is promising, plus your status in the Jiang family, it will be easy to control the Jiang family."

Luo Tingye continued: "The reason why you chose Jiang Qian is because your former students were either implicated to death by you or parted ways with you, leaving Jiang Qian as the only one who is still relatively capable."

Mr. Zhuang's expression finally changed, "How did you know?"

"I not only know the purpose of your coming to Hewan Village, but I also know what you have done. It is not that you were ostracized as outsiders say. You were dismissed from office because someone discovered you were forming a clique for personal gain."

Mr. Zhuang trembled, "What else do you know?"

"After you were dismissed, you still refused to give up and wanted to return to the imperial court. You used your students to return to the capital in an attempt to return to the imperial court. However, you failed again. Not only did your students, but also your relatives and friends who were close to you suffer, My only son was harmed by you and saved his life by drawing a clear line with you, and now you want to repeat your old tricks and take advantage of Jiang Qian."

Mr. Zhuang’s pupils were shaking, “How do you know this?”

Jiang Qian interrupted him, "Is Mr. Zhuang's power so important to you?"

A sinister smile appeared on Mr. Zhuang's lips, "Of course power is important. Aren't you studying to get ahead and gain power?"

"That's not what you taught me back then. You said that studying is for the sake of understanding, that being an official is for the people, and that ministers should be loyal to the emperor and patriotic. Have you forgotten all of these?" Mr. Zhuang looked like an idiot, "No. To think that I actually handed over an elm head."

"He's not a fool, you are." Luo Tingye said

Mr. Zhuang's voice was hoarse, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that I killed you."

Luo Tingye drew his sword.

Mr. Zhuang frowned and said unwillingly: "Not many people know about me. Your surname is Luo. Could it be that you are a descendant of the royal family? But there is no one like you among the royal family. Who are you?"

"Guess it."

Luo Tingye didn't give Mr. Zhuang any time to think, and stabbed him hard.

The next second, Mr. Zhuang's entourage appeared, protecting him behind him and blocking Luo Tingye's sword.

Luo Tingye recognized him as the man in black and sneered, "It turns out it's you. A deserter on the battlefield dares to act wild in front of Gu."

The man in black's eyes suddenly trembled.

"let me."

Hu Shaohua appeared out of nowhere and started fighting with his entourage.

Mr. Zhuang wanted to run, but all ways out were blocked.

The long sword in Luo Tingye's hand was placed on Mr. Zhuang's neck.

In the flash of lightning, Mr. Zhuang figured it out, "You are too..."

Luo Tingye pulled back hard, and a stream of blood spurted out.

Mr. Zhuang covered his neck and fell to the ground in disbelief. Before he died, he stared in the direction of Luo Tingye.

"Tai...zi."

Luo Tingye smiled evilly, "I guessed it right, but it's a pity that there is no prize."

On the other side, Hu Shaohua was still entangled with the man in black. Luo Tingye said sarcastically: "Hurry up, are you not full?"

Hu Shaohua was so angry that he almost ran away, "Who are you dealing with and who am I dealing with? How can it be that easy?"

He said this, but the speed of his hand was not slow at all. When the follower was not paying attention, a sword pierced his chest.

Jiang Qian's face turned ugly. He closed Mr. Zhuang's eyes and said with a grimace, "Now I know that I have never really known him."

Hu Shaohua wiped off the blood on his sword, "There are many people in this world that you look down upon. It's nothing special. Don't cry. It's so ugly."

Jiang Qian held back his tears and asked, "Mr. Zhuang also has a servant who has been with him for many years."

"Don't worry, it's been solved a long time ago. Why do you think I came so late?"

Luo Tingye said: "Their bodies will be left to you to handle. Remember to do it well and not to make people suspicious."

Hu Shaohua patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, aren't you still worried about me doing things?"
