Chapter 218

"Shut up!" Pei Shu shouted, and couldn't help but taunting, "Those villains committed evil, and you two who helped collect the bodies, how good can you be? Didn't you throw the bodies of the mother and daughter down?"

Pei Yuqing had no intention of going in. He just stood outside the door, staring inside. When he heard these words, his eyelashes trembled and his lowered eyes became unusually cold.

This one look frightened the two servants so much that they fell to their knees.

"My noble man, please spare my life!"

They knew that everyone else on the merchant ship that day had sunk into the lake, and only the two of them were saved by this nobleman with a mysterious background. Now their lives and property depended on his will. They kept begging for mercy, saying, "We are also following orders. If we don't listen to the steward's orders, we will be the next to be thrown into the lake."

It is very normal to die in the lake when making a living on a boat. No matter what the reason is, it can be said that he fell into the water by accident.

Once back on shore, the owner of the house who still has a conscience may pay a little money to settle the matter, but most of them will pretend that nothing happened and not panic when the deceased's family comes to make trouble, because the government has already paid the tribute.

With collusion between officials and businessmen, it is impossible for the officials to stand up for the poor.

This is just one of the millions of injustices suffered by the lower-class people.

Whether they are aiding and abetting the evil or being accomplices to the evil, they just want to survive.

Perhaps he was forced into a desperate situation, having done too many evil things and feeling that his death was imminent, a servant collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.

"I am not a lunatic, but I am also a bit cruel."

"The mother and daughter were naked. I couldn't bear to see them being humiliated as ghosts after death, so I wanted to put some clothes on them. But their bodies were already stiff, so I didn't take away the quilt wrapped around them. At least I didn't let them go down naked."

"I lost a quilt, and the manager deducted half a month's salary from me. This is the greatest kindness I can do," he cried bitterly. "If they want to kill me, they can kill those evil people. They deserve to die."

The two helpers of the Li merchant ship were crying and talking non-stop, as if they would not see the sun tomorrow. They were panicked and scared, and they collapsed and shouted. Pei Shu was about to step forward to interrupt them, but Pei Yuqing raised his hand to stop them.

He interrogated the police countless times about the details of that night, and each time he concluded that Wanwan had indeed jumped into the lake.

The mother and daughter who died, separated by a wall, were also mentioned repeatedly.

What? Because of the call from their accomplice, the men who were venting their lust left in a hurry, leaving them naked...

Something flashed through his mind, and Pei Yuqing suddenly took a step forward, walked quickly to the two slaves who were lying on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "You just said that the mother and daughter were wrapped in blankets?"

His face was as gloomy as water, his voice was tense, and his aura was extremely intimidating.

The two servants nodded and confirmed: "It is wrapped in a blanket."

Pei Yuqing squatted down, staring at the two with burning eyes, "Has anyone else gone in before you?"

"This..." The two servants looked at each other with hesitation.

"Just tell the truth." Pei Yuqing took a deep breath and tried his best to remain calm. "I only want to hear the truth. After you finish speaking, you two can leave."

Hearing this, a servant said in embarrassment, "We were ordered to come up after daybreak by the steward, but there were many guests on board that day, and the events that night were very tragic. We don't know if there will be guests who like to watch the excitement and come in first."

Thank you for the tips, there have been a lot of comments and tips these days, I can only say that the reputation is polarized, those who like it should like it very much, and those who don’t like it very much... It has the flavor of "Sealed Heart, Locked Love" when it was serialized, but "Sealed Heart, Locked Love" was not as popular as this book at that time, and there were not so many people scolding it. The author is about to break these two days...

It's really about to break...
