The merchant family is now living in Quxian Town.

It only took them a few years to become wealthy local merchants and start a tea business.

It is located in a remote area, and it will take at least a month for the people sent by Zhou Ruiyuan to arrive.

Although Du Bangchun was not in a hurry, he had already done it before Zhou Ruiyuan's people came.

The old lady of the merchant had a total of three sons, the eldest son had an accident when the old emperor died, and now the second son is in charge, and the third son is also seriously ill all the year round.

This time it was the second son who joined forces with the Nanyi people, the current business shopkeeper.

Mrs. Shang just wants to take her children and grandchildren to avoid court disputes and live honestly.

I don't know the good things my second son has done.

He lay in a rocking chair and had a dream in which he saw his eldest son crying and saying that he had died unjustly.

Woke up the old lady suddenly.

While wiping his cold sweat, he called out to his wife: "Xiang'er, Xiang'er." "

This lady is a step-family, the sister-in-law of the original wife, and the biological mother of the second son.

Mrs. Shang hurriedly walked over, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. Shang's face was pale, her eyes were blank, she looked ahead and said to herself: "I saw the boss, I saw him, he told me that he died unjustly, but didn't he stumble on the road and meet a mountain bandit and die? Why did he come to tell me again that he died unjustly."

Mrs. Shang's face changed, her eyes turned, she returned to normal, and comforted him: "Master, the eldest young master is really wronged when he encounters mountain bandits, so it is better for us to burn paper money for him when we are empty."

Old lady Shang shook his head, "No, he was covered in blood at the time, and the grievances all over his body were definitely not because of the mountain bandits!"

he sat up abruptly.

Mrs. Shang was startled, this time she became even more uncomfortable, and her eyebrows were filled with emptiness.

Old lady Shang put on her clothes and strode out, "No, I can't just let my eldest son die like this, I'll check to see what happened to my son." Mrs

. Shang caught up with him and said: "Master, it has been several years since the incident, and it is not so easy to investigate, why don't I hand over this matter to

the second child and let him investigate, how about it?" Mrs. Shang calmed down and exhorted, her eyes gradually regained her look, "That's right, there is also the second child, let him go and check, and see what happened on the way out of the capital, if it is really the mountain bandits, then arrest the mountain bandits, and I will deal with it personally."

Mrs. Shang was slightly relieved, bowed her head and replied, "Yes, master."

Mrs. Shang put her arms around her waist, turned back to the rattan chair, and sat down slowly.

Mrs. Shang served him tea, pressed his body again, and waited for him to fall asleep again before leaving.

After leaving Mrs. Shang's room, she immediately went to her son's room.

Shopkeeper Shang got up and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

Mrs. Shang hurriedly closed the door, "Just now your father dreamed of your eldest brother and said that your eldest brother died unjustly. The

shopkeeper Shang was still rejoicing at the burning of the Zhou family's rice warehouse, and when he heard this, his face changed instantly.

"He dreamed of his eldest brother?!" Mrs

. Shang nodded, "That's right, he also said that your eldest brother cried and complained to him."

The shopkeeper Shang's face gradually turned blue, and his hands trembled slightly, "Could it be that my father knows something?"

Mrs. Shang shook her head and said, "No, your father shouldn't know anything now, he still thought that it was the mountain bandit who killed your eldest brother, and he hated the mountain bandit in his heart."

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief slightly, held the back of the chair on the side with his hand, looked at the front and pondered for a long time, then turned around and said: "Mother, don't worry, that incident has passed for many years, and now my father is old, even if he finds out, he can't help us."

Mrs. Shang hurriedly said, "No, you forgot, your father hasn't given you the key to the merchant's warehouse yet." "

The merchant has followed the old emperor for so many years, and naturally earned a lot of silver in his hands, when they fled from the capital, the old lady Shang had already hidden all the silver in one place.

Now, although the family business has been handed over to the old second-hand people, he has not given anyone the key to this warehouse.

The shopkeeper fell silent again.

Mrs. Shang continued: "I just coaxed him and told him that you should go and investigate this matter, and then just find a random mountain bandit to be a substitute for the dead ghost." "

For the dead ghost...," the merchant shopkeeper muttered quietly.

At that time, the boss of the merchant left the capital with his family, and on the way to Qu County, he encountered a group of gangsters.

The mountain bandits not only robbed the property, but also killed all five members of their family.

Among them were Shang Boss and his wife, as well as three children, the youngest of whom was only a month old.

However, those gangsters are not mountain bandits at all, they are business shopkeepers and a group of people with strong martial arts.

It was the shopkeeper who killed his brother and sister-in-law, as well as the children.

In order to obtain the family business, he did not hesitate to mutilate his blood relatives.

Mrs. Shang even aided in the abuse, and planned all this with the shopkeeper of Shang.

At the beginning, Mrs. Shang's original wife was because she had a deep sisterhood with her, so she introduced her to Mrs. Shang before she became seriously ill.

Wait until she dies of illness, so that she can be her own steproom.

Who knew that she not only did not know gratitude, but also killed her son's family with her own son.
