Chapter 544 Blood Debt Pays Off
"What?" Wang Qiang frowned and asked in a cold voice, "Old man, are you saying that Hanxue's death was not an accident, but that she was murdered by a villain?"
"Yes!" Liu Yingbin nodded.
"Who killed Hanxue? Whoever it is, I will make them pay with their blood!" Wang Qiang clenched his fists. The Wang Qiang of today was no longer the little follower who followed Wang Wenzhou around. Now he was a county magistrate, decisive and ruthless. As the saying goes, if an official doesn't kill anyone, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.
Liu Yingbin spoke up, "Young Master Wang, you also know the person who killed Hanxue; it is Wang Wenzhou."
"Who are you talking about? My young master? How could this be?" Wang Qiang couldn't believe it. Although Wang Wenzhou and he were master and servant, they had grown up together since childhood and were like brothers. Moreover, Wang Wenzhou had even helped him pursue Liu Hanxue. Wang Qiang simply couldn't understand how Wang Wenzhou could have killed his baby.
"Hmph!" Liu Yingbin snorted coldly, glared at Wang Qiang, and looked at Liu Gong, pretending to complain, "I told you, he's just Wang Wenzhou's follower. It's no use you looking for him. Don't you believe me? Let's go back to the manor."
After Liu Yingbin finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Liu Gong quickly said, "Father! Don't go!"
Wang Qiang frowned. Judging from the appearance of the father and son, could it be that Hanxue was really killed by the young master?
Wang Qiang walked up to Liu Gong and asked in a cold voice, "Brother, tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"
"Hmph!" Liu Gong sneered, mocking, "Young Master Qiang, just now you were saying that no matter who killed my sister, you would make them pay with their blood. Now that you hear it was Wang Wenzhou who killed my sister, you look incredulous. Wang Qiang, I've seen through you. Luckily, my sister didn't marry you!"
After Liu Gong finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves, turned around, and left.
Wang Qiang quickly caught up with Liu Gong, grabbed his arm, and said hastily, "Brother, please don't be angry. You have to tell me what happened. I won't hide it from you, Wang Wenzhou and I are like brothers, I really don't believe he would kill Hanxue."
"Heh!" Liu Gong sneered, "Wang Qiang, let me ask you, do you really not know what the relationship is between Han Xue and Wang Wenzhou?"
"Huh?" Wang Qiang was completely confused. He quickly asked, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Liu Gong exclaimed in surprise, "You really didn't know!"
Wang Qiang had no idea that Wang Wenzhou had slept with Liu Hanxue. If he had known, given his temper, he would have beaten Wang Wenzhou until his face was covered in blood. Although they were nominally master and servant, before Wang Wenzhou transmigrated, the silly Wang Wenzhou was often bullied by Wang Qiang. When they were children, Wang Qiang often beat Wang Wenzhou until he cried loudly.
Wang Qiang frowned and quickly asked, "Brother, what exactly happened?"
"Alas..." Liu Gong sighed, repeatedly lamenting, "What a tragedy!"
Liu Gong, with a stern voice and tears streaming down his face, recounted the whole story to Wang Qiang.
The male protagonist of the story is Wang Wenzhou, who is lustful and blinded by greed, while the female protagonist is Liu Hanxue.
In Liu Gong's story, Wang Wenzhou initially helped Wang Qiang propose marriage, and Wang Wenzhou even personally visited Liu's residence.
Wang Wenzhou's reputation as a mad dog was already well-known among the officials. Liu Yingbin knew that Wang Wenzhou was someone they couldn't afford to offend, so he made up his mind to agree to Wang Qiang and Liu Hanxue's marriage.
However, upon seeing Liu Hanxue, Wang Wenzhou was overcome with lust and changed his mind, insisting on taking her as a concubine. Liu Yingbin and his son had no choice but to agree, as they could not afford to offend this mad dog, Wang Wenzhou.
Liu Hanxue refused to comply until her death. She declared righteously that she loved Wang Qiang, the young master Wang, and would marry no one but him in this life. If she was forced to marry him again, she would commit suicide.
When Wang Qiang heard this, he burst into tears.
Wang Wenzhou, that lecherous man, seeing that he could not force her to marry him, resorted to a trick. Under the pretext of selecting palace maids, he forged an imperial edict to summon Liu Hanxue to the palace as a candidate.
Then Wang Wenzhou, that inhuman bastard, forced himself on Liu Hanxue.
When Wang Qiang heard this, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He knew that although Wang Wenzhou had never forced himself on a girl before, he had instigated the racing prodigy Sheng Liang to force himself on Li Yajing. Wang Wenzhou had a criminal record!
Because Liu Hanxue deeply loved Wang Qiang, she wanted to commit suicide after being defiled by Wang Wenzhou in order to clear her name.
That damned bastard Wang Wenzhou threatened Wang Qiang's life, saying that if Liu Hanxue committed suicide, he would skin Wang Qiang alive. For the sake of the man she loved, Liu Hanxue could only endure humiliation and suffering.
When Wang Qiang heard this, he was practically going crazy. He secretly vowed that no matter what, he would make Wang Wenzhou pay the price, even if it meant risking his own life.
Later, Liu Hanxue became pregnant, but Wang Wenzhou wanted her to abort the child. This was because Wang Wenzhou knew that Wang Qiang was going to Beijing.
Wang Qiang now commands a large army, and even Wang Wenzhou wouldn't easily offend him. To win over Wang Qiang, he planned to return Liu Hanxue to him. However, giving a pregnant girl to Wang Qiang would eventually lead to his discovery.
Upon learning of this, Liu Hanxue felt ashamed to face Wang Qiang, and knowing that Wang Qiang was no longer in danger, she committed suicide in resentment.
After listening to Liu Gong's account, Wang Qiang clenched his fists so tightly that his fingers cracked.
Wang Qiang actually believed Liu Gong's story. It's not that he was stupid; the key is that Wang Wenzhou had too many criminal records.
Wang Qiang knew Wang Wenzhou well; his young master had a particular fondness for sleeping with his brothers' babies. Whether it was Zhu Youjian or Dorgon, they all treated his young master like brothers. But his young master was too unconventional; he slept with their babies without any psychological pressure, calling them "sister-in-law" even more affectionately than the babies themselves.
And wasn't he Wang Wenzhou's brother?
With tears welling in his eyes, Wang Qiang murmured to himself, "Hanxue, I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I was so insecure back then..."
"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Wang Qiang went crazy, slapping himself repeatedly.
Liu Gong frowned deeply. Was Wang Qiang really going to let it go like this?
Wang Qiang felt very guilty. He had asked Wang Wenzhou for help in finding a wife, and Wang Wenzhou had agreed and promised to help him marry Liu Hanxue.
Later, Wang Wenzhou arranged to meet Liu Gong and his son. Liu Yingbin did not go, but Liu Gong went alone. He berated Wang Qiang and left with the words: "My Hanxue would rather marry a dog than marry a mad dog like Wang Wenzhou's lackey."
Wang Qiang felt somewhat inferior because of this, after all, he really was Wang Wenzhou's follower. So later, Wang Wenzhou forgot about the matter, and he didn't urge Wang Wenzhou anymore. Instead, he wanted to work hard himself, change his identity, and then personally go to the Liu family to propose marriage.
Now, Wang Qiang is a county magistrate with 30,000 elite troops under his command. He is no longer just Wang Wenzhou's follower, but his beloved girl is dead.
"Pat pat!" Liu Gong patted Wang Qiang on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Young Master Qiang, there's no need to blame yourself. I know that Wang Wenzhou is someone you can't afford to offend. Besides, you also come from the Xinjian Earl's Mansion and have a master-servant relationship with him. It wouldn't be right for you to seek revenge on him."
"Slap!" Wang Qiang slapped himself hard one last time, and said coldly, "Brother, don't worry, I won't let Hanxue die with her eyes open! Without Hanxue, I have no attachments in this world. Even if I lose my life, I will make Wang Wenzhou pay for his crimes in blood!"
"Okay!" Liu Gong slapped Wang Qiang hard. He was filled with emotion. "Hanxue, your brother and father are sorry. We caused you to be unable to marry the man who loves you deeply, but we had no choice. Besides, this foolish man is really too foolish. You won't have a good life if you marry him. Who knows, he might be killed one day."
