Chapter 164(1/2)
"What?!"
Ping'an County, in a house somewhere in the city.
Cao Yan stood up from his chair in shock, looking at the person in front of him with a look of shock and fear: "What did you say... a dead person?!"
At this time, there was a young man standing in front of Cao Yan.
The young man was about the same age as Cao Yan, and his face was full of worry and fear.
This person is Cao Yan's cousin, Cao Wei.
"Yes, yes! Cousin, you have to think of a way..."
"Oh shit……"
Cao Yan couldn't help but swore: "What did you do? I asked you to restrain yourself and not kill anyone. You just refused to listen... It's okay now, now you're going to kill someone, right?"
Cao Wei's face was filled with grievances: "Cousin, I didn't want to either... It was you who ordered me to keep an eye on Li's pharmacy. Anyone who dares to buy medicine from Li will be caught and given a lesson...
…”
"But who knew that the guy's mother was barely alive? His mother was dead now, and the guy didn't want to live either. He ran to the Yamen to complain. Fortunately, I got the news and sent someone early.
The Yamen stopped him..."
Cao Wei also looked aggrieved.
He did exactly what his cousin told him to do.
His cousin asked him to keep an eye on the drugstore named Li and not allow anyone to approach it.
Even if someone goes in to buy medicine, he must be caught, whipped and given a warning.
Originally everything was in order and there were no mistakes.
But who would have known that that guy's mother got seriously ill and died immediately?
Even if he died, that guy couldn't bear to think that he still wanted to go to the Yamen to cause trouble?
Although the death of that guy's mother has nothing to do with them, if they let that guy make a big deal, it won't end well.
Cao Yan's face looked a little ugly.
After learning that a human life had occurred, he had to worry about the consequences.
Cao Yan is not the kind of brainless young master, otherwise, he would not have been able to do so many things under his father's nose.
Being able to monopolize the business of all the drug stores near Ping'an County without his father noticing, I have to say that Cao Yan is indeed quite capable.
These pharmacies seem to have nothing to do with him, but in fact he has the final say behind them.
Therefore, if there is any trouble in these drug stores, Cao Yan cannot be careless.
After all, this is about his pocketbook and whether he can spend his days and nights doing whatever he wants.
Because of this, Cao Yan was even more cautious.
Once the matter gets bigger, if these pharmacies are involved and something is found out, it will be bad news for Cao Yan.
Just like what's happening right now.
The guy who bought medicine from Li Beifeng's drug store originally just wanted to teach him a lesson, but he didn't expect his mother to die.
In anger, the guy ran to the Yamen to file a complaint.
This must not be allowed to happen to him!
It is no secret that Ping'an County drug stores have a monopoly on the medicinal materials business and sell medicinal materials at high prices.
However, these things have never been stated openly. Although ordinary people have complaints, they dare not express their anger and dare not speak out. Secondly, they have not stood out.
Once this precedent is set, the consequences will be disastrous.
Therefore, Cao Yancai had to be cautious.
"Cousin, please think of a way quickly!"
Cao Wei said anxiously.
He is the youngest son of Uncle Cao Yan. He has been idle and doing nothing since he was a child.
When he grew up, he became more serious. Just because he had some brains, he fawned over Cao Yan, followed Cao Yan, and secretly helped Cao Yan manage some shady business.
"Don't worry, let me think about it!"
Cao Yan frowned.
Right now, this matter must be resolved.
Otherwise, if his father finds out about this, no one will be able to live with it.
"Cousin, I don't think it's better..."
At this time, Cao Wei seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
Cao Yan glanced at him and asked, "What should I say?"
"We might as well go directly..."
As he spoke, Cao Wei made a motion of cutting his neck, his tone was gloomy.
Cao Yan frowned slightly and said angrily: "Are you crazy? Do you still want to kill someone?"
"Cousin, listen to me first. Now that a life has been caused, the matter can no longer be solved!"
Cao Wei explained: "If you really let that guy go to the uncle, you and I will not be able to escape...so we must not let him show up again."
"The best way to shut him up is to make him disappear completely... As long as we do it quietly and seamlessly, no one will know about it... There will no longer be any secrets about us.
threaten……"
If the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who raised the problem.
This is the best way to solve problems since ancient times.
Cao Yan frowned, seemed to be a little moved, and hesitated a little: "If someone discovers it, you and I will be dead by then... If someone is killed, my father will never spare me!"
Cao Yan was very worried.
His father is different from others. As the beloved magistrate of Ping'an County, his father has always enforced the law impartially.
If he dares to kill someone, even if Cao Yan is his father's biological son, his father will definitely kill him out of justice.
Therefore, no matter how unbridled and reckless he was in these years, Cao Yan always adhered to the bottom line and would never kill anyone easily.
At this time, when he heard that his cousin actually wanted to kill people and silence him, he still hesitated.
"Don't worry, a guy from a small village, as long as we do it clean enough, no one will know."
There was a hint of coldness on Cao Wei's face: "Who cares about the life and death of an inconspicuous little person? We just need to make it look like he died unexpectedly, and then let the people from the Yamen investigate and close the case... At that time, we will
No one knows anymore.”
At this time, Cao Yan's face seemed to be filled with excitement.
He pondered for a moment and hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, you..."
“It’s not good!!”
Just when Cao Yanzheng opened his mouth and nodded, a panicked voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Quan, the dog next to Cao Yan, ran in and panted: "Master, no, it's not good... Something big happened..."
Seeing Zhang Quan's appearance, Cao Yan had an ominous premonition in his heart: "What's going on? What happened?"
"The Yamen... something big happened in the Yamen..."
Zhang Quan gasped and said: "Then, that guy ran to the Yamen again, and..."
After listening to Zhang Quan's intermittent description, Cao Yan's face turned completely ugly.
…
Ping'an County.
yamen.
The originally quiet Yamen became lively today.
A large number of people gathered at the entrance of the Yamen.
The Yamen's policemen kept trying to drive away the crowd watching the excitement, but the crowd never dispersed. The Yamen's policemen were short of manpower and could not stop the many Yamen who were watching the excitement.
Through the gaps in the crowd, you can vaguely see some people washing the ground on the flat ground in front of the Yamen gate. There is still red liquid on the ground, which looks shocking.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
someone in the crowd asked.
"I heard that someone came to report the crime last night?"
"No, do you still remember the incident where you came to report the crime two days ago? The mother who came to report the crime was dead. He wanted to sue the drugstore owner in Ping'an County, but he was beaten up..."
To be continued...
