Chapter 142 Revenge
Chapter 142 Revenge
He drank the tea in one gulp and looked straight at Old Liu, "You are the Uncle Liu that Ying'er trusts the most besides her parents."
Old Liu didn't dare to breathe. He didn't sleep all night and had nightmares.
The dream was still the same scene. Liu Ying heard him knocking on the door, and opened the door for him with a smile.
It was obvious that Liu Ying saw the rejection in Wang Shike's eyes, but when he thought of the one hundred taels of silver, he hardened his heart and made an excuse to go to the toilet first.
Just ran away...
In his dreams, he saw Li Ying transformed into a ghost and seeking revenge on him.
He was so frightened that he dared not close his eyes again.
But that one hundred taels of silver, he had worked hard for most of his life, and he had never seen so much silver...
"My sister-in-law's tea-making skills have improved a lot."
Old Liu finally came back to his senses from the nightmare and hurried forward, saying with a smile, "If you don't mind, I'll ask her to make another pot later."
As he spoke, he leaned forward and poured him another cup of tea.
As soon as I held the teapot in my hand, I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen.
Then his mouth was covered tightly by Lao Li's big hand.
Then he felt as if a knife was inserted into his abdomen, and the knife was still going in, and then the knife was stirring back and forth inside.
His eyes were wide open, and he kept asking Lao Li for help. Finally, his pupils dilated until he stopped struggling...
Only then did Old Liu pull out the knife.
He carefully wiped the blood stains off his clothes.
He put the man on the ground, picked up the teapot that Old Liu had dropped when he struggled, and put it back in its place.
He hid the dagger in his chest and walked out of Lao Liu's house.
He did not stop and went directly to the prince's palace in the county.
He did not rush in like this. The reason why the government officials judged that Ying'er committed suicide by jumping into the river was naturally because Wang Yuanwai and his family bribed the government.
Wang Shike might not be at home either. He might have gone somewhere to hide.
There were still two hours before dark, so he had to be fully prepared this time.
Old Li first went to a tailor shop to buy a nightgown, and then went to a teahouse, which was the best-informed place in the entire county.
And any movement of the son of this richest man will be the talk of the town.
He first went to find a table with many people, ordered a pot of the best Longjing tea, and ordered a lot of snacks and dry goods.
He asked everyone to come together, saying that he had just arrived and was wondering if there were any good jobs to do in the county.
"You've asked the right person. I just finished a job for Mr. Wang's family a few days ago. They're renovating the back garden of the mansion. They say the family's son doesn't like it anymore and wants to redo it. It's a big deal!"
"We're short of people. I plan to rest for a day before going over."
Old Li's face was full of doubts, "Mr. Wang? He is..."
Many people at the table started talking when they heard this, "How come you don't know Mr. Wang? He's the richest man in our county."
"The rich are tight!"
"It is said that the business has even reached the capital!"
"It's also related to the Imperial Merchants."
"Our Wang Yuanwai has six concubines, but he has few children. He only has one son, and the rest are all girls."
The man lowered his voice as he spoke, "It is said that Mr. Wang is not very good in that aspect. Hahahaha, otherwise why would he only give birth to a son!"
"It seems that having too many women is not good for a man. It will tire the oxen plowing the fields to death!"
Old Li took a sip of tea and brought the subject back to the topic, "Then his only son must be extremely favored, right?"
The topic immediately turned to Wang Yuanwai's youngest son. "That's not right."
"No one in this county dares to mess with him. It is said that he has connections in the imperial court."
"You have to take a detour when you see him."
The man who just said that he worked in the palace couldn't hold back this time, "You don't know, Mr. Wang's son is called Wang Shike, and he hasn't appeared in the palace in the past two days."
"They said something happened, and they arranged for him to go out and hide for a while."
“I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”
"What do you think he has done wrong?"
"I don't think it will be small anymore."
Everyone was speculating one after another.
At this moment, a voice came over, "Bullshit! I saw him hugging women left and right at Yingchun Tower last night!"
"A man like him wouldn't be able to survive if he didn't have affairs for a day."
"Let me tell you, with all those romantic affairs he had, I don't think even a picture book would dare to write about them."
"Not only do he have three wives and four concubines at home, but he's also a distinguished guest at Yingchun Tower!"
"It is said that he has a private room on Yingchun Road."
"Whenever there's a new person at Yingchun Tower, he's always the first one to try them out!"
"What you mean by hiding from the limelight is probably staying in Yingchun Tower temporarily, right? Hahahaha."
"Is this what you call hiding from the limelight?"
Old Li picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp. "I'm quite curious. His wing room must be the best room in Yingchun Tower, right?"
"I actually asked the old woman there about this out of curiosity. It's in the rightmost wing on the third floor. It's best not to know, since we're not lucky enough to go in and take a look."
At this point, Lao Li understood. He placed a lot of silver on the tea table and said, "Brothers, if you want anything to eat or drink, please order it yourself. I have to find work to do, so I won't accompany you any more."
"See you soon."
Old Li stood up and walked out after saying this.
He went to the tailor shop again and bought some expensive clothes that he had never dared to dream of owning in his life.
It's even better than the outfit he wore when he married the old woman.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, he silently said in his heart, "Ying'er, Daddy will go and avenge you now."
"Don't be afraid, Daddy and Mommy will be here to accompany you soon."
After paying the money, seeing that it was getting dark, he went straight to Yingchun Tower.
Just as he expected, the madam was very enthusiastic when she saw his outfit.
He called many people to serve him, took out the silver, and chose a position with the best view, so that he could see clearly everyone going up and down the stairs.
He ordered a pot of the best wine he had ever tasted in his life. After two glasses of wine, he saw the person he most wanted to see tonight.
Wang Shike was walking upstairs with two prostitutes in his arms.
I don't know where he got the wine from, but he looks drunk. Tonight is the perfect time.
As expected, the three of them entered the rightmost room on the third floor.
He made the excuse that he wanted to go for a stroll upstairs, but was stopped by someone who said that there were only VIPs upstairs and he couldn't get close at all.
The confidentiality measures at Yingchunlou are quite effective, and they probably employ quite a few thugs on a long-term basis.
It is impossible to go upstairs directly, so we can only start from other places.
After leaving Yingchun Tower, he found a place to change into his night clothes and carefully walked around Yingchun Tower several times before he found a breakthrough.
He saw that one of the windows at the back of the wing that Wang Shike had locked was open.
He had learned some martial arts in his early years, but later he concentrated on being a carpenter and basically abandoned them, but he still had the basic skills.
When he successfully climbed to the window, he first listened to the noise inside.
When that voice sounded and he knew that Wang Shike's attention was not elsewhere, he turned over and entered.
His Ying'er had just been raped and killed by this beast, and the beast then moved into Yingchun Tower and made friends with other women.
He will definitely die today!
He had been hiding in the dark, waiting for the opportunity. After Wang Shike finished his job, he cursed at the two brothel girls and told them to get out.
They quickly put on their clothes and left.
Only then did Old Li walk out quietly, took out the dagger and rushed towards Wang Shike.
When he was not paying attention, he stabbed him in the stomach several times.
Until there was a knock on the door, "Prince Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing this, Old Li, who was about to continue stabbing him with the dagger, had to give up.
Then he stabbed again, pulled out the knife, and ran towards the window.
