Rebirth of the Phoenix

507 The Death of the Young Master

"You bitch, when you entered my house, didn't you get many rewards from the imperial concubine? Now I want you to take out a few pieces of jewelry to use, but you are so stingy, or I will beat you to death!"

Early in the morning, Liu Shuquan's roar could be heard in the Liu Mansion.

Then came Qingyan's scream: "You took all my jewelry and gave it to the women outside. What's left..."

"Humph, don't think that I don't know how many good things you got! Those things originally belong to me, I just use my things! Let me tell you, if you don't take out the jewelry today, I will make you look good!"

"I really don't have any more..."

"You are still quibbling! You guys, search me and don't let me miss an inch!"

At Liu Shuquan's order, several servants searched around Qing Yan's room, leaving a perfectly good room in a mess as if it had been swept by a tornado.

"Master, we found it!" Sure enough, the servants found a small box from a corner, which contained some of Qingyan's favorite pieces of jewelry.

Liu Shuquan picked up the pieces of jewelry, looked at them, and sneered: "You are indeed a bitch. None of what he said is true. If you act like a bitch again, I will sell you into a cellar and let you end up like Qingmei."

!”

Then, he threw a shoe into Qing Yan's face and asked his servants to push him out.

The room calmed down, and Qingyan sat down in the mess, stroking her red and swollen face, her eyes filled with anger and resentment.

Ever since she married Young Master Liu, she has never had a good day.

She really can't live this damn life anymore!

If Liu Shuquan is unkind, then she is unjust. Let’s see who is more ruthless!

After sitting for a long time, she sat up, straightened her appearance and began to tidy up the room.

After tidying up for a long time, the room was finally restored to order. Then, she walked out of the room and walked to the woodshed.

It was cold and snowing, and Liu Shuquan used her jewelry to please the women in the brothel again. The Liu residence was quiet, and no one wanted to go out in such cold weather.

In the woodshed, a young and strong man was working hard to chop wood.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the amount of firewood used has increased, so he has to chop more firewood.

Qingyan pushed the door open, closed it, leaned against the wall, and looked at the man longingly.

When the man saw her coming in, he quickly put down the hatchet in his hand, walked over, and asked with concern: "Madam, what's wrong with you..."

Qingyan suddenly threw herself into his arms, sobbing and saying, "I want you to take me away! Take me away right away!"

The man said: "But now there is chaos and chaos outside..."

Qing Yan said: "No matter how chaotic it is outside, it's better than this damn place! Liu Shuquan beat me again today. If I don't leave, I will be sold by him sooner or later! Do you want to see me sold?"

Liu Shuquan is already disabled and has a bad temper. How can she live a good life?

In her loneliness and desolation, she fell in love with this young, strong, and good-looking woodcutter, and secretly took more care of him. Over time, the two of them became close.

To her, this woodcutter was much better than Liu Shuquan. If she could live with him, her life would not be in vain.

The man's eyes turned cold: "Of course I don't want to! But if we leave like this, where can we settle down..."

"I know where Liu Shuquan's money is! I have tolerated him for so long just to find out where he keeps his money!"

Qingyan leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Tonight, he will definitely come back very late. I will take advantage of his sleep to secretly take his keys and take away his money. I only ask you

, are you willing to take me away? We can’t go out to the west and north, but we can go to Jiangnan. The money will be enough for us to live for a lifetime..."

The man's heart moved, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Of course I am willing to take you away, but I have nothing and am an orphan. You are used to a good life, are you really willing to fly away with me?"

He doesn't have much ambition, but he doesn't want to live a life of looking at people's faces and living in poverty. Now there is an opportunity to make a fortune, and there is a young and beautiful woman willing to follow him. How can he not be moved?

Qingyan threw herself into his arms and hugged his waist: "As long as you treat me well, I'm willing to go anywhere!"

The dream of wealth that I once had has been shattered long ago.

The image of the perfect emperor has been diluted by reality. Now, she just wants a decent man to live with. It doesn't matter if he is not so rich, as long as he has enough food and clothing.

The man also hugged her: "Okay, then let's go together and leave together tonight!"

It was windy and snowy outside, but inside the house it was as hot as midsummer, and the two of them were as passionate as fire.

After making the decision, Qingyan calmed down a lot.

After making out with her lover, she returned to her room and started packing her luggage.

When she married into the Liu family, she had several boxes of dowry, but most of it was spent by Liu Shuquan. Liu Shuquan liked beauty and often visited brothels, but because of his disabled legs, he was not liked by the girls in the brothels, so

, he would often use her clothes and jewelry to please those women, but he was reluctant to use his own savings.

After more than half a year, there was not much left of her dowry.

Thinking of the long journey, she didn't pack much, only a few winter coats.

Then, she placed the two large bundles under the bed, and after eating and drinking, she went to bed to recharge her batteries for tonight's action.

In the evening, Liu Shuquan, who had been playing in the brothel all day, smelled of alcohol, was pushed into the room by the servant.

Qingyan endured her impatience and helped him sleep.

It was cold outside but warm inside. Liu Shuquan played for another day and drank a lot of wine. He fell asleep as soon as he lay down, snoring and feeling as heavy as a dead pig.

When it was approaching midnight, Qingyan got up, pushed Liu Shuquan repeatedly, and called him many times, but he didn't respond. He was obviously very asleep.

There was a large charcoal fire burning in the room. With the dim light from the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin, she could barely see without lighting a lamp.

She sneered twice, took out the key from him, got out of bed, opened the secret room, and then opened the treasure chest.

A box of gold, silver, jewelry and silver notes made her look greedy.

As expected of the imperial concubine’s natal family and a ruthless family, how much are these properties worth?

Because there was too much money, she couldn't take it all away, so she only picked out gold, silver notes and easy-to-handle jewelry, packed a full bag, and filled all the places on her body that could be put, and then reluctantly let go of that one person.

Treasure chest, lock it and leave.

After putting the key back on Liu Shuquan, she was so excited that she even forgot to take the two bundles under the bed. She blew out the candles and prepared to leave.

Liu Shuquan hired dozens of Jianghu people to live in the mansion to protect his family. However, the capital has been under curfew for a long time. When it gets dark, patrolling soldiers and officials are everywhere outside. Liu's mansion is an aristocratic residential area in the capital, so patrols are especially popular.

Frequent and strict, it can be said that the night is much safer than the day, so in this cold and freezing night, everyone huddles in the room and sleeps, and never goes out unless there is something important.

For tonight's operation, she lay down in her clothes when she fell asleep. Now she put on her fox fur cloak and was able to go out.

When she reached the door, she stopped when she heard Liu Shuquan's snoring.

For more than half a year, the images of how this rough and shameless young master tortured her came to her mind like a violent storm, causing hatred and anger to burst into her eyes.

She had served Liu Meiyan for so many years, and she ended up like this!

The elder sister was not kind to her, the younger brother did not treat her as a human being, and even the other people in the Liu family treated her as if she did not exist. She had never enjoyed the grace and majesty of the so-called "eldest mistress". Could she just leave like this?

Already?

No, she can't swallow this breath!

Her best years of youth have been ruined by this family, she has to give herself a break!

Thinking of all these things, she started to be evil. She hugged the baggage and returned to the bedside. She stared at the sleeping man. After laughing ferociously for a moment, she suddenly grabbed the inkstone on the table and hit Liu Shuquan's head hard.

Hit it several times.

After a few thrilling muffled sounds, Liu Shuquan groaned a few times, twitched his body a few more times, and made no more noise.

The blood splattered on his body and on the pillow and sheets, but because the light was very weak, Qingyan did not see how horrific the scene was, so she was able to strike one after another. After confirming that Liu Shuquan was dead, she put down the inkstone and turned around to go out.

Outside, the man was huddled in the corner of the corridor, waiting for her for a long time.

As soon as he saw her coming out, the man ran over and whispered: "How is it?"

Qingyan smiled, feeling the pleasure of revenge: "It's done, look, this is the young master's treasure, enough for us to eat for a lifetime."

The man was overjoyed and kissed her: "You are awesome! Are we leaving now?"

Qingyan nodded and stuffed the baggage into his arms: "This baggage is heavy, take it and let's go quickly."

There is a night light in Liu Mansion, but the light is weak, and the few night guards are huddled in sheltered places, drowsy.

They avoided these guards, returned to the woodshed, and began to prepare for their escape.

The night was so quiet that no one in the Liu Mansion knew what a terrible thing happened that night.

At six o'clock, the back door of Liu's Mansion opened, and the man chopping wood went out pushing a cart with two wooden barrels on it.

He often works with other servants to transport the garbage and filth from the house in the morning. Last night, he let his companions rest and took over the transportation work himself. Now he is transporting these two wooden barrels. It is very normal.

.

It was already morning, and people who got up early were already going out to do their work. The curfew in the city was no longer so strict. The patrolling soldiers asked him casually, without checking the barrel, and let him pass.

In the two wooden barrels, one hid Qing Yan and the other hid their luggage.

The trolley has gone away.

Liu Mansion was getting farther and farther away from them, and finally it was out of sight.

After a long time, the sky finally got bright, the whole Liyang woke up, and a new day began in Liu Mansion.

But it wasn't until around noon that a servant dared to knock on the eldest young master's door. While knocking, he was worried, for fear of waking up the eldest young master's sweet dream and being punished by the eldest young master.

Who in the house doesn't know that the young master goes out to eat, drink and have fun every day, always comes back very late, and then sleeps until noon the next day. In addition, the weather is cold now, and the young master prefers to sleep in, so they don't dare to wake him up on time.

Master.

After knocking for a long time, there was no response from the room. Even if the eldest young master didn't respond, why didn't even the eldest young mistress show any sign of harmony?

The servant tried to push the door, but unexpectedly, the door opened with a little force.

Behind the screen, there was no movement.

The servant felt something was wrong and walked in quietly. As soon as he turned around the screen, he was frightened by the scene in front of him. He fell to the ground and screamed: "The young master has been killed - the young master has been killed - come on."

People, come quickly—"
