It is perfectly normal for bandits to become squires.

Du Zongwang was nicknamed the "Eight-Armed King Kong" and roamed Sichuan. Later, he was recruited by the government and became a regiment leader.

After retiring from the position of regimental leader, he became a country squire.

Such people are everywhere not only in Sichuan but also in China.

Du Zongwang looked to be almost eighty years old.

I'm in good shape and in good spirits.

As soon as he came in, he asked who was Meng Shaoyuan, Chief Meng...

Meng Shaoyuan looked at him: "Why are you here too?"

"I know the entire delivery plan."

Du Zongwang did not hide anything: "My sister asked me to escort her, and she also told me her plan to send Lao Guan to deliver the jade civet cat secretly. Otherwise, how could Lao Guan be safe at his age?

Arriving in Chongqing?

When he went to Chongqing and entered Qiu's house, I was worried and went to visit him personally. Only then did I know that he and shopkeeper Qiu had come to Juntong."

He glanced at Lao Guan's body on the ground and sighed: "Lao Guan has been loyal throughout his life. This ending is a happy ending."

Complete?

Meng Shaoyuan immediately guessed that there was most likely a relationship between Lao Guan and the old lady.

But, since everyone is dead, it’s better not to talk about these things.

"Since the Emerald Civet Cat is protected by the Qiu family and the military commander, I'm not worried at all." Du Zongwang suddenly changed the subject: "Director Meng, this beast must have been done by that beast He Kaiyi!"

Sure enough, it was the same as Meng Shaoyuan's judgment.

Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Shaoyuan.

Meng Shaoyuan asked calmly: "Why do you say that?"

"That beast has been staring at this emerald civet cat for a long time." Even though Du Zongwang is older, his anger has not diminished at all: "Since he took charge of the He family, my sister has handed over everything to him, except her own.

Dowry and the Emerald Tanuki.

But He Kaiyi was so greedy that he longed for this emerald civet cat. I also advised my sister that her son would be his sooner or later, so just give it to him, but she just refused.

He Kaiyi was a playboy when he was young, and he was not the most profitable person at all. The He family has been defeated by him over the years, and he and I have started to use the idea of ​​the jade civet cat again.

Some time ago, he went to my sister's house and knelt down in front of her. My sister was still unmoved. She was probably heartbroken by this treacherous son. He never expected that this beast would do such a cruel thing.

Hands!"

When Meng Shaoyuan heard this, he suddenly asked: "The He family has suffered disasters before, right? And it was a major disaster?"

Du Zongwang was startled, then nodded: "Yes, my brother-in-law was also involved in the Shanghai rubber stock market crash that year. Not only did he lose all his money, he also owed a large sum of money. He was detained in Shanghai and could not come back.

My sister tried many ways to save her husband by selling off her family's property, and then my brother-in-law learned from the experience and started over. With my sister's help, he made a comeback, and the He family was in the same situation as before."

Meng Shaoyuan sighed softly: "Second brother, we are brothers who want to be the boss, why do you need to hide it from me?"

Qiu Shenghe was surprised: "Shao Yuan, what does this mean?"

"Just now, you and Lao Guan have actually exposed their flaws." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "You said, 'In the tattered bag you brought, you actually still carry this priceless treasure.'

Lao Guan clearly gave you the jade civet cat on the order of his mistress. He went through all the trouble to get to Chongqing, but instead of giving it to you right away, he came to the army with you first? And he still said those words in front of me?

?

You are doing this because you want me to help you get revenge. Secondly, this jade civet cat is now involved with the Qiu family, the military commander, and me, Meng Shaoyuan. Does anyone dare to take advantage of it?

Since no one dares to do this, no one will know the authenticity of the jade civet cat. Then you can resell it, and from then on, the jade civet cat will be lost.

I have long been suspicious. Just now Du Zongwang said that the old lady gave all her family property to her son, but she could not let go of this jade civet cat. It was not that she was reluctant to part with it, but she knew it was a lie.

Really, I'm afraid that she had already sold it quietly when she rescued her man? She never said anything, so that when she made a comeback later, others would be happy to lend the money to the He family if they knew she still had the emerald civet cat.

There seems to be someone wrong here. Since the jade civet cat is fake, she can tell her son clearly, but why didn't she tell her? She would rather die than take this secret away? "

Meng Shaoyuan stared at Qiu Shenghe:

"Second brother, back then, He Song Lanhua sold this emerald civet cat to your Qiu family, right?"

"I told the old man before that I couldn't hide this from you." At this point, Qiu Shenghe also said calmly: "Yes, something happened to the He family back then, and He Song Lanhua found me and wanted to sell the jade civet cat to me.

Our Qiu family.

It’s just that she begged us not to tell anything, especially not to be known to her husband. I really don’t know the reason, but the old man has sworn to keep this secret forever.”

Du Zongwang murmured: "I know, but everyone is dead. Director Meng, please don't pursue the case any further."

If you don't tell me, do you think I can't guess it?

Meng Shaoyuan glanced at Lao Guan's body on the ground with some pity.

Very simple.

Why did He Songlanhua's husband leave his business in Sichuan and go to Shanghai to speculate in stocks?

He is avoiding his wife.

There must have been some relationship between He Song Lanhua and Laoguan.

When her husband found out, he was humiliated. However, He Song Lanhua and Du Zongwang, the bandit leader at that time, were close brothers. Her husband dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

He simply arrived in Shanghai, out of sight and out of mind.

But he was unlucky. He encountered the rubber stock market crash, lost everything, and was even detained.

He Song Lanhua knew her husband's personality. If he knew about it, he was saved in exchange for the treasures given by women as dowries, and he would never return to Chongqing.

Therefore, He Song Lanhua had been deceiving him and sold the He family's property to rescue him, which made her man feel better.

This is a matter of men's dignity.

As for why He Kaiyi has been so slow?

The lie has been told for so many years and there is no way to correct it.

Moreover, He Song Lanhua was worried that if he told the truth, He Kaiyi would make a fuss about it, saying that the Qiu family was in trouble.

He Song Lanhua simply died and took this secret to the coffin forever.

The same is true for Laoguan.

He had been with He Song Lanhua for so many years, so he must have known clearly, so he also chose to die.

"The old lady quietly negotiated with us to sell us all her houses in Guang'an and then provide relief to Henan." Qiu Shenghe said slowly:
Chapter completed!
