No one knew that Wu Shian had a crush on that outwardly dignified and refined, but inwardly flirtatious and flirtatious older cousin.
A slutty cousin who was a few years older than him.
When he had insisted on taking the Wu brothers' mother as a concubine despite his family's opposition, it wasn't because he had a crush on her.
It was because she looked somewhat similar to his older cousin, the Imperial Concubine, whom he had a crush on since he was a child.
Every time he tormented Old Third Wu's mother, he would imagine that she was his older cousin, the Imperial Concubine. So he doted on her in every possible way.
Otherwise, how could he dote on a lowly village woman so much when Boss Wu was only a few years younger than him?
He had originally thought that he could only bury his crush in the bottom of his heart. He didn't think that three years ago, when the Imperial Concubine returned home to visit her relatives, she would make a detour to visit his younger cousin. This made him feel extremely flattered.
But he never would have thought that his older cousin, who was like a goddess in his heart, would use candlelight as an excuse to have him stay in her room. He didn't know if it was because she was lonely deep in the palace, but she used the excuse of having a candlelight conversation with him to make him stay the night. She even made the current Emperor wear a huge green hat.
Although Wu Shian was very clear that this was a crime punishable by death, the secret love that had been buried deep in his heart for many years burst out. Especially the strange excitement that the noble identity of the Imperial Concubine brought him, he didn't even think about the consequences of getting what he wanted. Instead, he became complacent.
What a joke, have you played with the Emperor's woman before? I have played with her.
If he didn't think about the consequences, Wu Shian would have used a loudspeaker to tell the whole world that he had once spent a night with the Imperial Concubine.
Unfortunately, he was afraid of death, and even more afraid of having his nine clans killed. This kind of secret pleasure was the same as his first crush. He could only bury it deep in his heart and wait for the next time they met.
Counting the days, the Imperial Concubine should be returning home to visit her relatives. But this time, would she still make a detour to visit him? She should. Last time, he worked very hard and she was very satisfied.
While Wu Shian was tormenting his new concubine, he was daydreaming about the future.
Thinking of Guifei Niangniangniang's well-maintained body that was as white as mutton fat jade and her slender waist that was as soft as a water snake, the new concubine that he had originally found pleasing to the eye suddenly became uninteresting to him. Amidst the concubine's fake cries of satisfaction, he dispiritedly climbed up.
He was too lazy to explain to his concubine, who had a face full of confusion. He put on his clothes with a gloomy face and turned to leave.
The new concubine was dumbfounded. She thought to herself, 'What's going on? Could it be that I'm not good enough in bed? Is Master not satisfied?'
Just as she was about to ask, there was an urgent knock on the door.
Wu Shian was annoyed. He hadn't even put on his clothes when he shouted angrily, "Who is it? Why can't we talk about it tomorrow? "
"Old … Old Master, it's me, Wu Gui. Something bad has happened, something … something big has happened. Consecrator Chen and Consecrator Liu have been … killed."
Chief Steward Wu Gui's trembling voice came from outside the door. His voice was filled with endless fear.
Wu Shian's expression changed dramatically. He didn't have time to tidy up his half-dressed clothes and hurried to open the door barefooted. He asked with an ugly expression, "What did you say? Consecrator Chen and Consecrator Liu have been killed? How is this possible? "
"I don't know the details. This is news from Xiaoliuzi, so I came to inform Master as soon as possible."
Wu Gui said while trembling.
"News from Xiaoliuzi? Let's go to the gatehouse and have a look. "
Wu Shian's heart sank and his expression became even more unsightly.
Xiaoliuzi was Wu Gui's son and also the son of the Wu Family. He was now in charge of guarding the gatehouse, so there was no reason for him to lie.
This meant that Consecrator Chen and Consecrator Liu were definitely dead. It was just that he didn't know who killed them.
How could there be such an expert in the county?
Up until now, he still hadn't connected the death of Consecrator Chen and Consecrator Liu with the madman Zhang Ping had mentioned. He thought that they had encountered some other expert and killed them.
Wu Gui carried a lantern and quickly led the way to the gatehouse.
At the gatehouse, Wu Shian's face turned deathly pale when he saw the two heads in front of the Wu Family.
It was not because he was frightened by the sight of the dead, but because of the strength of the killer. These were the two most powerful consecrators of the Wu Family. How could they die just like that? He couldn't accept this reality.
Xiaoliuzi, Zhang Ping, and the other guards all had a serious expression on their faces. They felt chills running down their spines.
Especially Wu Gui, his body was trembling and his face was full of fear.
As the chief steward of the Wu Family, he could get whatever he wanted in Zeyang County. Even the county magistrate had to be polite to him when he saw him.
This was also why he was a servant in the Wu Estate, but once he left the Wu Estate, he was a master. Not only did he buy land and property outside, but he also took in a few concubines. His life was as comfortable as it could be.
Of course, in the process, there were many cases of extortion and disregard of human life. But with the name of the Wu Family, who dared to sue him? Even if they did, the fat county magistrate, who knew what was good for him, would deal with those unruly people directly.
This made Wu Gui lose his sense of measure. He regarded himself as the second master of the Wu Family and was even more domineering in Zeyang County. Everyone was angry but dared not say anything.
As the saying goes, a thief has a guilty conscience. When he was domineering and oppressing the villagers, he had no scruples because he had the backing of the Wu Family.
But now, even in this warm season, he couldn't help but shiver. His heart was cold and he couldn't feel any warmth. He was afraid that his retribution had come.
Because he had a premonition that the Wu Family was about to collapse. They had provoked a strong enemy that they couldn't afford to provoke. Otherwise, the enemy wouldn't put the heads of the two consecrators in front of the Wu Family to provoke them.
As the chief housekeeper, he knew how strong Consecrator Chen and Consecrator Liu were. He knew it even better than his master.
But these two powerful consecrators died so inexplicably and their heads were quietly placed in front of the Wu Family's gate. This was a provocation, a naked provocation.
How bold did the enemy have to be to provoke the Wu Family? Wasn't he afraid of the Imperial Concubine's revenge?
This made Wu Gui afraid because he was slick and had always been on good terms with the two consecrators. The two consecrators were involved in many of the dirty things he had done.
He didn't know anything about the madman. At that time, he was taking advantage of his master's absence to have an affair with his wife who had been living alone for many years.
Therefore, when he saw the two consecrators dead, he subconsciously thought that he had been exposed and was being retaliated against by the two consecrators.
If that was the case, he, the main culprit, would be the first to be dealt with by his master before the enemy came for revenge.
After all, Wu Shian was the head of the family. Although he was panicking, he quickly calmed down when he saw the frightened expressions of the servants in the Wu Family's mansion. He said in a low voice, "Wu Gui!"
"Plop!"
Wu Gui was lost in his thoughts when he suddenly heard his master call him. He thought that he had been exposed and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.
Wu Shian frowned. After Wu Gui was promoted to the chief housekeeper, he didn't need to kneel down. Why did he kneel down now? But he didn't think much about it. He just thought that Wu Gui's legs were weak because of the two bloody heads. He waved his hand impatiently and shouted, "What are you afraid of? The sky hasn't collapsed yet."
Wu Gui came to his senses. It turned out that his master didn't suspect him. This made him secretly relieved. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and stood up in a hurry with an embarrassed smile.
"Take my invitation card and invite County Magistrate Zhang and Constable Meng here."
Wu Shian arranged everything in an orderly manner. After Wu Gui nodded in agreement, Wu Shian seemed to have thought of something and ordered, "When you invite them over, tell them to bring the bailiffs and bailiffs from the county government. Tell them I said that the safety of the Wu Estate is under serious threat. I need them to send people to protect the Wu Estate."
"Yes, master. I'll go now."
Wu Gui immediately cheered up and showed the manner of the chief housekeeper of the Wu Family. He ordered his son, Xiaoliuzi, "Xiaoliuzi, arrange a carriage. I'll leave as soon as I get the invitation card from my master."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now."
From the moment Little Six saw the head, his face turned pale with fright. Only now did he regain his composure and hurriedly responded.
"Zhang Ping, you guys come with me to the reception hall and wait for County Magistrate Zhang."
Wu Shian casually ordered them and took the lead to the reception hall.
Zhang Ping and the others followed behind him silently. They had just been punished and were still limping.
Although they did not say anything, they knew that Wu Shian was afraid. He called them to boost his courage and also to let them protect him.
This filled their hearts with bitterness. Even the heads of the two consecrators were cut off. Even if all of them were to band together, they would not be a match for him.
Moreover, although Wu Shian did not associate the murderer with that lunatic, they knew that this was definitely the work of that lunatic.
The lunatic they were talking about felt very innocent at this moment. If Ding Ning wanted to kill someone, he would have barged into the Wu Family aboveboard. Why would he beat around the bush?
In a dark corner not far from the Wu Family's residence, Ding Ning looked at the cold and frosty Mei Niang, who was completely different from the innocent and lively Mei Niang. He said speechlessly, "If you want to take revenge, just kill that Imperial Concubine. Why do you have to hurt the innocent?"
"Innocent? That's because you don't know how tyrannical and domineering the Wu family members are in Zeyang District. Otherwise, why would the people of Li family village swallow their anger in silence when they are bullied by the Wu brothers? "
The Mei Niang returned to her original coldness. However, it was obvious that she had not completely awakened the memory of her previous life. She was deeply affected by the experience of this life. Hatred had obviously become her obsession.
"Then we might as well just destroy the Wu Family. Why do we have to make them panic and let them live in fear?" Ding Ning sighed helplessly.
Ever since the Mei Niang's body was transformed and she possessed great power, she had always been cold. Her character had also become extremely tyrannical and unyielding. She did not allow anyone to disobey her. It was already considered polite for her to acknowledge him. Coincidentally, the two consecrators came to her door. After seeing the Mei Niang's beauty, they even flirted with her. The result could be imagined.
Although he felt that killing someone was just a small matter and there was no need to create panic, he had no other choice. Now that the Mei Niang had become an expert at the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm, he could not beat her nor could he win in words. He could only tactfully persuade her. The Mei Niang's cold face did not have any extra expression.
There was not even a hint of hatred. She said indifferently, "Since she is my mother in this life, I have the obligation to avenge her. The Wu Family is related to the woman who killed her, so they deserve to die. Killing them directly would be too easy on them. Everyone who is related to the Wu Family will jump out. I will deal with them one by one. I want to see if that Imperial Concubine Xian will stand up for the Wu Family. If she does, that would be the best. It would save me from having to travel thousands of miles to the Imperial City to seek revenge."
