The boss is coming, the scumbag is going to be in trouble

Chapter 406: Benefactor Must Live Long-9

Just as Ma Qirui was thinking about whether he should go and take a look, the conversation between two people caught his attention.

"Yes, I went to see it yesterday, but some little beggars were whispering that it was a real thing."

"They say there's no smoke without fire, and I'm afraid that's true."

"So, do you think this man is really an official in the capital?"

"Probably so."

"Then I think I know who it is..." The two of them were talking in a low voice, without noticing Ma Qirui behind them.

"Who are you talking about?" the man asked in a low voice.

"Have you forgotten that someone's family got a rich son-in-law from that list?"

"Is it him?" The man was surprised and said, "But it doesn't look like him!"

"Don't judge a person by appearance. Besides, people's hearts are hidden. Can you tell whether he has a black heart or a red heart?"

"Right."

"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear us. If they hear us, we won't be able to explain ourselves."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped."

"If it really is that family, it will be lively."

"Who says it's not? It's good to have some fun. It's been a long time since I last saw something fun."

"Me too, me too, I'm really looking forward to someone coming to me..."

……

Ma Qirui couldn't bear to listen any longer. He quickly stood up, threw a piece of silver on the counter, turned around and left the teahouse.

Yes, this capital is full of smart people.

With just a quick guess, you can tell what it is and even find the person by matching the name.

No, he had to get rid of these people quickly, otherwise he would be in trouble if the matter came to light.

"Since you are looking for death, then I will help you."

Ma Qirui beckoned to his confidant beside him and whispered, "Go prepare the poison and go down into their water at night."

"Yes, master." The confidant responded, turned around and disappeared immediately.

He ordered people to poison the people who were performing opera outside the city.

What he didn't know was that back in the mansion, Gao Mingshu was also asking her personal nanny, "Mammy, is he back?"

"Miss, there is no news." The nanny replied with her eyes lowered.

Gao Mingshu nodded without saying anything, because she knew that this place was a long way from the Ruan family, and it was normal to be delayed for some time.

"Mammy, is there anything strange happening outside?"

The nanny looked at her young lady, then thought about the noise outside, and whispered, "Young lady, everyone outside is talking about someone performing outside the capital."

"It's not uncommon to sing opera!"

"It's not uncommon to sing operas, but their stories are a little bit unpleasant." The nanny spoke carefully.

"Why is it not good? Tell me about it..."

"The play on the stage seems very similar to what happened during this period..."

"Oh." Gao Mingshu immediately became alert.

"The story in the play is about a scholar who is ungrateful..." The nanny didn't continue with the rest of the words and stopped there.

Gao Mingshu must have understood what was meant. She was afraid that someone had made up all the stories between the Ruan family and them into a drama and was performing it outside!

No, I’m afraid it’s not just sung outside the city!

They dared to sing without restraint outside the city, so this play must have been sung all the way there.

Thinking of this, she could no longer sit still and got up to find her father.

When they were hundreds of miles away, she could still send people to do it. But now that they are right in front of them, if these people suddenly die, the high-ranking officials in the capital will definitely notice it, and it will be very troublesome to find out.

Gao's father, who was sitting in the study, frowned immediately after hearing his daughter's words.

"Are you going to divorce him?"

"No, I don't want to divorce him. Besides, divorce won't do any good for our family. I just want those people to disappear."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry about this. I'll arrange for someone to take care of it."

Between his daughter and those innocent people, Gao's father chose his daughter and chose to maintain the reputation of his family.

He didn't want his colleagues to say that he had been an official for half a year and couldn't even see through a scholar. After all, he also had to save face.

Seeing that her father had agreed, Gao Mingshu stood up and left the study. With her father's involvement, everything would be safe. Then she happily returned to her own courtyard.

At night, everyone on the stage rested, except for the people in one tent who were staring outside.

Soon there was a rustling sound, and everyone immediately perked up.

Two men in black jumped in, searching for the spot where they had left the bucket.

Just as one of the men in black took out a paper bag and poured it into the bucket, he was pinned to the ground by a gangster who suddenly appeared.

The criminal was caught red-handed. Ruan Kang walked up to him without saying a word, snatched the paper from his hand, and took the bucket of water away.

The gangsters took money to do the job, so they just started punching and kicking the man in black.

He was not a death warrior, but someone who knew some martial arts. He soon admitted that he was sent by Ma Qirui to poison everyone in the troupe.

They caught people here and there. Gao's father was more ruthless. He not only sent people to drug the people, but also sent people to burn down the entire troupe.

Everyone in the troupe was frightened out of their wits. Ruan Kang took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and put it in the hand of the troupe leader.

"I'm sorry to have frightened you."

Looking at the banknote in his hand, the band owner hurriedly put it in his arms and said tremblingly: "We take the money to do the job, and we will do it well."

After all, the troupe's life is not easy, and with this money, they can live a better life.

Although there are risks, Grandpa Ruan also hired people to protect them.

"Okay, thank you, boss. The matter is settled. I will reward you handsomely in the future."

"Thank you, Master Ruan. We will definitely do what you asked us to do."

In fact, there is nothing much for them to deal with. They just have to perform opera every day, and it doesn’t matter where they perform.

Singing here may have a little risk, but the rewards are high!

"Master, now that we have those two people, can we sue Ma Qirui?" Ruan Kang now regards Xihe as his backer, and he always comes to ask before doing anything to feel at ease.

"Okay, the evidence is all here, now is the time."

"Thank you, Taoist Master."

On the second day, Ruan Kang brought his men, escorting the two men in black and some evidence to the intersection pointed out by Xihe, and met Lord Tang who was returning home from court.

When Ruan Kang saw Lord Tang’s sedan chair, he knelt on the ground and shouted loudly to protest his innocence.

Hearing someone coming to cry out for justice, Lord Tang, who was originally drowsy, immediately woke up.

He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the attendant beside him: "Go and see what's going on."

"Yes, my lord."
