Chapter 1755 Old Li 2 is Dead
Shang Xi said, "Li Lao Er is dead!"
"Which Li Lao Er? Is he from a village with the surname Li?"
Shang Xi said, "Fourth Sister's husband is Li Lao Er."
"How could Li Lao Er die?" Yu Hua's shout attracted half of the people watching the show.
Shang Xi also wanted to know if the matter was true or false. "I don't know? Such a big thing needs to be investigated by sending someone to check it out."
At this moment, several people gathered around, including Cheng Feng, who asked, "What's going on!"
Shang Xi had no choice but to tell everyone what Cheng Youning had said.
Cheng Feng said, "Send someone to take a look."
The big-eyed man next to him turned to go to the security agency, but Cheng Feng grabbed his collar and said, "It's not appropriate for a kid like you to go. Let someone else go."
Big Eyes usually hangs around Cheng Feng, and his favorite thing is to run errands for Cheng Feng. He is always the first to rush to do errands.
Shi Hongshang sighed, "When Li Lao Er was a bandit on the mountain, he even collected protection money from us. He had several hundred men under his command. How did he die!"
Cheng Feng analyzed, "I think the reason for the violent death is that the镖师 (bodyguard/escort) died so young. It's likely that the goods he was escorting were valuable and that someone was targeting him."
Everyone thought it made sense and was about to agree when Cang Man, who had gone on a long trip, suddenly appeared. Even Boss Qian was surprised, "Why did you come back in such a hurry?"
Cang Man picked up a cup of tea, which was what Cheng Youning had just finished drinking. He drank it all in one gulp before speaking, his voice hoarse as he opened it, "What a disheartening story. On the border of Lingyuan, we encountered the Yato people, and Li Lao Er even lost his life!"
No one understood what he meant, including Boss Qian. "Li Lao Er was escorting goods for someone else, while you were escorting goods belonging to our Qian Company. Did your two groups of escorts collide? Li Lao Er's death has nothing to do with you, right?"
? ”
Boss Qian didn't want Cang Man to get involved in a murder case, and if he got involved with Li Lao Er, it would be a real problem.
Then Cang Man said, "It definitely has nothing to do with me. His death wasn't because of me, it was because of Ge Dongqing."
Everyone panicked even more upon hearing this. Boss Qian pressed, "Explain yourself clearly. How is Ge Dongqing involved here? None of you leave here on the same day. How could you possibly run into him?"
Cang Man said, "It's a long story. Ge Dongqing was on a mission to Lingyuan, and on his way back, he encountered a group of Yato people on the border of Lingyuan. In order to cover his escape on horseback, all the minor officials with him were killed. The Yato horses were as fast as lightning, and Ge Dongqing was sure to die. Coincidentally, a merchant caravan came up ahead, and the escort was Li Lao Er from Baoxiang Escort Agency. Li Lao Er was a righteous man. When he saw that it was a beggar, and that it was an acquaintance named Ge Dongqing, he drew his sword to help. The Yato people were fierce and brutal, and each of them was strong and powerful. Moreover, there were many of them. Li Lao Er was limited in strength and was obviously no match for them. By the time I met them and helped, Li Lao Er had already struck them with his sword."
Upon hearing this, Yu Hua became anxious: "Why didn't you call a doctor for him?"
"Do you think that's our camp? That place is a complete mess. Where are we going to find a doctor? Even if there is one, he's just a quack. Besides, with such a severe sword wound, this man is definitely going to die. We've suffered heavy losses. Most of Li Lao Er's men are dead, and twelve of our Qianzihao men are dead too." Cang Man punched his palm angrily and said, "The Yato people are really despicable. We've suffered heavy losses this time. We need to quickly comfort the families of the dead and give them compensation."
Upon hearing that his own men had also suffered losses, Boss Qian did not delay any longer. "There is no time to lose. Let's go back to Qian's shop to talk. Today is a joyous occasion at the Prince's Mansion, so it is not appropriate for us to talk here."
After a brief farewell to Cheng Feng and Shang Xi, the Qian family members all left.
Cheng Feng looked at everyone and said, "It seems this matter is true. Those who want to watch the show, please stay. If anyone wants to go to Baoxiang Escort Agency, I'll go with everyone."
A large group of people, all men, left in a flash.
When Lu Si Niang returned to the escort agency, there was a row of coffins in the courtyard, exactly twenty-one. She knew that the one at the front was Li Lao Er's coffin. In order to confirm that the corpse inside was Li Lao Er, Lu Si Niang ordered people to open the coffin. The body was sealed with wax and was very intact. It was definitely Li Lao Er.
Lu Si Niang asked the bodyguard who returned alive, "How did the person die?"
Everyone pointed behind Lu Siniang at the same time, "It's all because of him! The head镖师 and the other brothers lost their lives trying to save him!"
When Lu Si Niang looked up, she saw that Ge Dongqing was standing right behind her.
Ge Dongqing was too ashamed to face Lu Siniang again. He knelt on the ground and confessed, "Li Lao Er died because of me. Whether you kill him or not is entirely up to you."
Lu Si Niang shook her head: "You are truly my nemesis, because so many people have died because of you."
One of the bodyguards said, "Madam, the dead are not just these people. Lord Ge fled alone on horseback to save his life, and the other officials died while covering his escape. Later, Cang Man from the Qian family encountered them and went to help, but many people died as well."
Lu Si Niang asked, "How many people from the Qian family business died because of this?"
"There were twelve people in total, and all of them died because of Ge Dongqing! In total, forty-seven people died because of him."
Lu Si Niang looked at Ge Dongqing kneeling on the ground, her heart filled with resentment. "You really are a jinx. Forty-seven people died to save you. Is your life worth forty-seven people sacrificing their lives?"
Ge Dongqing felt guilty for his unsuccessful start and the resulting harm to so many people. "It's not worth it. Fourth Sister, please do whatever you want to kill me. I won't complain at all."
Lu Si Niang wanted to kill this cowardly man with her knife several times, but finally gritted her teeth and gave up. This was a worthless life that a bunch of people had protected. "Since so many people have exchanged your life for it, then you might as well live well!"
Lu Si Niang said to one of the waiters, "Show the guest out!"
Ge Dongqing knelt on the ground and refused to get up. Two employees from the escort agency dragged him out of the agency.
Lu Si Niang then instructed a bodyguard, "Twelve people from the Qian family have died because of this. Take these silver notes and go to the Qian residence to offer condolences to the families of the deceased."
When Cheng Feng and his group arrived, the courtyard of the escort agency had been transformed into a mourning hall, with twenty-one coffins neatly arranged, shocking the group of men who had come to pay their respects.
Despite her large pregnant belly, the strong-willed Lu Si Niang did not shed a single tear.
Ge Dongqing was still pleading at the entrance of the escort agency. At this moment, no one could forgive him, because of him, many people had died. Fourth Sister understood that even if Ya Tuo had been chasing someone else, Li Lao Er would have come to their rescue. Today's death was both his fate and his karma; after all, Li Lao Er had committed far too many murders and robberies throughout his life.
After the banquet at the Prince's mansion ended, Yu Hua and Shang Xi chatted idly, "How did Lu Si Niang get entangled with Lord Ge? She kicked him out, and Lu Si Niang tolerated it, but then she caused his husband's death. Lu Si Niang is so pregnant, about to give birth, but her child will be fatherless. How pitiful!"
Shang Xi said, "Lu Si Niang is strong. Didn't you hear what Da Yan said? Lu Si Niang is sad, but she didn't shed a tear. She has been enduring it all."
