Chapter 405: Benefactor Must Live Long-8
Xi He couldn't help but laugh, and then he spoke: "This woman was only imprisoned in the family temple, and there was no other punishment."
"Interesting, really interesting, wiping out an entire family. That was the family of my savior, and yet the couple is actually fine."
"It's simple. The Ruan family has no descendants. They have made no contributions to the country, so no one will seek justice for them."
"Ma Qirui is so cruel, I don't believe he will truly serve the people after taking office."
"He did it that time, but he thought of a countermeasure to facilitate his future murder of the Ruan family when it was discovered." Xihe said lightly.
"That's what I was saying. How could someone like him be so kind?"
Officials are honest and upright, but they are not like Ma Qirui.
If he can plot against innocent people, he cannot be a good official.
The current time period is that Ma Qirui has just been appointed to an official position for a short time, so it would be okay if the Ruan family went to Beijing to sue him now.
The Ruan family should not go down that path. They know that the capital is Ma Qirui's base, and no one will probably uphold justice for businessmen like them.
But what can be said? Everyone has enemies. No matter how high a position one holds, there will always be people who are angry with him.
Even if Ma Qirui's Yue family is innocent, can Gao's father guarantee that all his clansmen are the same?
He didn't dare, because he knew that people are all different, and there would definitely be people who would use his power to make mistakes.
It just so happened that the Gao family had an enemy, but it wasn't a big enemy, just a difference in political views in the court.
She could kill the Gao family and Ma Qirui, but wouldn't that be too easy for them?
I will only feel relieved if I let them be cursed after their death.
It would be best if you were to be infamous for eternity and be cursed at whenever people mention you.
When Xihe thought of this, he did not take action immediately, but returned to the Ruan family.
When the Ruan couple saw Xihe suddenly appear, they immediately stepped forward and saluted respectfully, then said, "Master, have you eaten yet? If not, I will order someone to prepare it immediately."
"Okay, thank you, sorry for the trouble."
"No trouble, no trouble." Mrs. Ruan bowed to Xihe, and hurriedly instructed the servants in the house to prepare some food carefully.
Ruan Kang looked at Xi He and knew she had something to say. He quickly stood up and bowed, "Master, do you have anything else to say?"
"Yes." Xihe nodded and told Ma Qirui about his situation in the capital.
When Ruan Kang heard that he had become the son-in-law of a second-rank official, his face immediately darkened.
A second-rank official, a businessman, who would make decisions for them?
"I'm going to give you a suggestion. Do you think it's okay?"
"Master, please speak." The Ruan couple immediately looked at Xihe.
"Gather all the witnesses and evidence, and go find the Gao family's opponents. They will definitely spare no effort to bring the Gao family down, and then what Ma Qirui did will be exposed to the world."
"The Taoist priest has deep connections with high-ranking officials like them. Will he retaliate against us when the time comes?"
"That's also a problem." Xihe thought for a moment and said, "There's another way. You can buy their lives with money."
"But if this happens, the emperor will definitely have someone investigate after they die, and you'll end up in the same boat."
"How about this? Ask the troupe to spread the news about Ma Qirui's actions."
This was a good idea. The couple looked at each other, then nodded at Xihe and said, "Master, let's do it this way."
"Well, think about it and try to arrange it as soon as possible."
They still had a long life ahead of them, and it was impossible for her to always be with them. The little girl's wish was to help them through this disaster, not to accompany them for the rest of their lives.
They have to find ways to solve some problems themselves, otherwise no one will help them for their entire life.
The two men bowed solemnly to Xihe, and then Ruan Kang looked at Xihe and asked in a low voice: "Master, if I am not mistaken, you have never come to my door, right?"
"Yes." Xihe did not hide it and nodded directly.
"Then may I ask, Taoist Priest, why have you been helping our family solve problems?" This is what the Ruan family has always wanted to ask. They didn't dare to ask before, but they still wanted to understand who was involved in this?
"You want to ask me who asked me to come here, right?" Xihe asked directly.
"Yes, Taoist priest, please help me solve this problem."
"It's someone you often rescue. She asked me to come."
"What does she look like?" Madam Ruan asked anxiously. "I just want her to come into the mansion and live a better life. I have no other intentions."
"I understand, but there are some things I can't tell you now. I'll tell you later."
"Okay." The couple responded in unison.
Then they looked at Xihe again, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves.
"Don't worry, I won't be leaving anytime soon. If I do leave, something will happen. I'll definitely let you know when I really am leaving."
"Okay." The couple felt much more at ease after hearing Xihe's words.
Although they were businessmen, they were still a little timid when facing such a huge monster.
The Ruan family made preparations. Money makes things easier, and they quickly recruited a troupe of opera performers willing to perform.
The script was written by Ruan Kang himself, although it did not meet the requirements of the troupe.
But the whole story was narrated quite well. After being revised by the troupe leader, it was performed directly.
Because of Xihe's reminder, Ruan Kang also spent money to hire many people in the martial arts world, and when Ma Qirui's confidant arrived, he directly captured him.
The person that Gao Mingshu ordered to drug also fell into their trap. Looking at the two people tied up tightly, Ruan Kang breathed a sigh of relief.
With these people, it will be more convincing when the time comes.
With the money in place, the opera troupe was very active and sang as they went.
Wherever they went, everyone knew the stories in the plays they sang.
Ruan Kang also bribed some beggars to help spread the story privately, saying that the story was true.
Many people couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. It is rare for a person's heart to be so poisonous.
Ma Qirui waited in Beijing but his confidant never came back to report to him.
While he was feeling uneasy, everyone in the capital was talking about a troupe performing a play outside the city, which was about the story of an ungrateful scholar.
When Ma Qirui, who was drinking tea in a teahouse, heard this story, he felt his heart beating faster. For some reason, he always felt that this story seemed to be talking about himself.
"You don't know that this scholar not only cheated the merchant, but he also found a high-ranking official in the capital to be his father-in-law. It's quite an interesting drama!"
