Among his brothers, He Jintong's cultivation aptitude wasn't top-tier; it was barely even mid-level. He wasn't as intelligent as some of his brothers, but he was self-aware and had no ambition to succeed the family head.
If it is true as they say, and I am sent to a remote city to enjoy my old age, it would not be a bad idea.
However, He Weiyuan told him that the situation had changed and that he could no longer be saved. The plan to send him to a remote city also came to nothing.
In order to save his family, he must die.
What's more, the child born from that old man and that bitch should be registered under his name.
What does this old man think of himself?
We already have Ho Kwan-yin, isn’t that enough?
He Jintong did know about the affair between his father and his wife very early on, and they had a big fight over it.
However, he received a large amount of property as compensation, so he turned a blind eye to it.
Ho Kwan-yin is the child of his father and his wife, but the child was given under his name.
He had raised that bastard as his son for so many years, yet he hadn't even remembered his kindness and even slept with his woman. He had just broken that bastard's leg not long ago, and as a result, this old man and that bitch teamed up to scold him.
For the sake of his family property, he endured it.
But now the old man told him to go and die, and he became a little crazy.
Why should I die while they can all live well?
His wife Yiyi was betrothed to him and grew up with him when she was very young.
When they were eighteen years old, they held their wedding in the presence of both families.
However, one day, he found Yi Yi in disheveled clothes on his father's bed.
He really wanted Yiyi to tell him that it was the old man who forced her.
But that's not the case. Yiyi likes mature men, and she was the one who took the initiative to seduce him...
Which man can tolerate having green hair? He endured it.
But what do we get in return now?
As long as he died, the couple could continue their ugly deeds even more unscrupulously.
And what about him?
It can only be buried in the soil, rot and stink bit by bit, turn into dry bones, and eventually return to dust.
"Ah!~~"
He Jintong yelled in prison, and suddenly came to his senses, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
When he looked outside the prison door, He Weiyuan had disappeared.
He Jintong was breathing heavily, lying on the ground with his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling of the cell.
Bang!
The outer door opened again.
He Jintong struggled to get up, ran to the prison door, and tried hard to look outside.
Could it be that the old man found a way to save him?
He thought so in his mind.
But the scene that followed completely shattered his fantasy.
I saw several Suzaku jailers pushing a bed of nails in.
"He Jintong, today's project is the rolling nail bed. Do you want to lie on it yourself, or do you want us to carry you up there?"
Looking at the sharp nails on the nail bed, on which were still traces of dried dark blood, He Jintong's heart trembled.
The next moment, he uttered the strongest sound in his life: "No!~~~"
Chapter 229: A Battle of Wisdom and Courage with the Scumbag Loli
He Jintong confessed and told the whole story of the He family's plot to murder the new city lord Zhao Kangping.
The five major families did participate, but this time they only contributed money and no manpower.
In addition to these, He Jintong also exposed the fact that He Weiyuan embezzled public funds from the holy land during his tenure as city lord.
For example, during the last Gu worm crisis, many disciples from the holy land were killed or injured, and a considerable number of these disciples came from small families or independent cultivators in Chuanliu City.
The Holy Land paid a large amount of pensions to these disciples.
However, most of these things were deducted before they were distributed through the City Lord's Mansion, leaving only less than 10% of the original amount.
He Jintong also helped He Weiyuan with the tax collection issue in Chuanliu City.
They collected taxes from the small families, independent cultivators, and ordinary people in Chuanliu City that were much higher than the level required by the Holy Land.
However, the portion reported to the Holy Land was based on the standards set by the Holy Land, so a large amount of tax revenue was pocketed by the He family.
In fact, Zhao Kangping and his colleagues had already made some plans for this when they took over the accounts left by their predecessors.
There's just no conclusive evidence.
However, He Jintong said that he has a clear account book showing the whereabouts of these excess taxes.
If these evidences fall into the hands of Zhao Kangping and others, the He family will be in big trouble.
After He Jintong explained this, Dongfang Jingrou also sent people to find the account books that He Jintong had hidden away.
This interrogation was beyond their expectations.
Zhao Kangping and his team originally just hoped to find evidence that the He family was involved in his murder, but they ended up getting such a big unexpected gain.
The He family is really finished.
Outside the interrogation room, "He Weiyuan" removed the disguise on his face, revealing Zhao Kangping's true face.
"Okay, I'll leave this to you." Zhao Kangping said to Dongfang Jingrou.
Dongfang Jingrou originally thought that He Jintong would be a tough nut to crack, but she didn't expect that he would be solved so easily in Zhao Kangping's hands.
By pretending to be He Weiyuan, he broke through He Jintong's psychological defenses and made him completely disappointed in the He family.
He Jintong realized that the He family had abandoned him, so he wanted to drag a few people down with him.
In fact, He Jintong was not wrong to be so disappointed.
Because the He family really gave up on him.
The Xue family's son-in-law is indeed active in various places, but his purpose is not to save He Jintong. Instead, he wants to win over more allies to help the He family resist the impending suppression.
Although He Jin is the eldest son of He Weiyuan, his status in the He family is not very good.
First of all, He Weiyuan has five sons and more than twenty grandchildren.
He Jintong's cultivation aptitude is too ordinary. He only has four kinds of mixed spiritual roots. Even some second-rate sects look down on him with such aptitude.
In a family like the He family, he was able to reach the Golden Core stage by relying on resources.
Moreover, his potential has reached its limit and he may not be able to go any further.
When it comes to actual combat, his skills are even more exaggerated.
So He Weiyuan arranged for him to manage the family business instead of continuing to invest resources to help him practice.
Because no matter how many resources there are, it will be a waste. It is better to give them to other children with more hope.
Dongfang Jingrou saw He Jintong in the cell through the transmission crystal of the black prison.
At this time, He Jintong had been transferred to a cell that was as solid as an iron wall. It was clean, without hay or disgusting stench. Instead, it had good hygiene conditions, delicious food, and a clean and tidy bed.
This doesn't feel like a prison cell at all, it's more like some kind of asylum.
Now that He Jintong has been upgraded from a criminal to a tainted witness, his life safety needs to be guaranteed.
"Okay, there's nothing for you to do here anymore. You can go back to Chuanliu City." Dongfang Jingrou became indifferent again.
"Then I'll leave." Zhao Kangping originally thought that she would keep him and continue to do other work.
In fact, after He Jintong explained, there were still many things that needed to be dealt with.
His confession and the evidence he submitted need to be carefully organized and then presented to the Holy Lord for review.
However, Dongfang Jingrou is better at the subsequent clerical work.
"You should go back to Chuanliu City as soon as possible. Your performance this time is good and makes me look at you with new eyes." At this time, Dongfang Jingrou entered the identity of Suzaku, and she would soon be busy again.
"Can you give me a small reward?" Zhao Kangping joked.
However, the woman looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What little reward? Are you still a child?"
What a boring woman.
Zhao Kangping walked away disappointed.
After he came out of the dark prison in the holy land, he did not listen to Dongfang Jingrou and return to Chuanliu City.
Having finally arrived at the holy land, he must get his business done.
So he sneaked to the Medicine King Palace.
He went straight to Junior Sister Xun's alchemy room, which was where Junior Sister Loli often stayed.
He arrived at his destination without any obstruction.
But it's strangely quiet here.
He had been here several times before, and every time he saw a pair of cute twin girls.
Now we can no longer hear their laughter and joy.
During the turmoil caused by Fang Quan, the two girls were unfortunately killed by him.
What a sad story.
however.
"Liuli, don't run." A little girl who looked like a porcelain doll was chasing another little girl who looked almost exactly like her.
The two girls were probably only seven or eight years old and looked very young.
Just when Zhao Kangping was feeling regretful that he might not be able to meet the twins, he was slapped in the face.
He had long heard that these two girls were transformed from magical medicine.
But no one knew that this elixir could actually give birth to two little girls.
A girl was running and bumped into someone. The rebound force pushed her back and she fell to the ground with her buttocks.
"Wu ...
"You are Liuli, right?" Zhao Kangping looked at the child in front of him, trying to find familiar traces on her face.
She does bear some resemblance to the two Duanmu nieces, but they are too childish. He still prefers their appearance as girls.
Well, he had no idea about the twins, except that he didn't have a childish aesthetic.
“Woo woo woo!~~”
However, the girl sitting on the ground kept crying, as if she was frightened by him.
The other girl should be Hongyu. After seeing Zhao Kangping from a distance, she hid behind a tree.
"Oh, why are you so distant? I am your Uncle Zhao." Zhao Kangping scratched his head awkwardly.
Just then, a girl in a green dress came over from the distance.
Zhao Kangping recognized the other person as Xun Qianran at a glance.
But at this moment, Xun Qianran was no longer the twelve or thirteen-year-old that she had appeared in front of everyone before. She looked a little older, about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Xun Qianran has fair and tender skin, and some baby fat. She looks very fragile and lovable. Her pair of mischievous eyes are sparkling, and it is obvious that she is a girl who likes to make trouble.
In fact, she is not much younger than Zhao Kangping, but she likes to act young.
"Hey, what brings our Senior Brother Zhao here today?" As soon as she came up, Junior Sister Loli greeted him mischievously.
"Why don't you just pretend to be young today?" He was still a little uncomfortable with her behavior.
The result was immediately met with a sarcastic tone from the loli junior sister: "Huh? No way, no way, is Senior Brother a lolita control?"
