When Ao Shiyan heard what the old beggar said, he couldn't help coughing slightly, and looked a little embarrassed, but Ao Shichu didn't change his expression. Marquis Rong'an just liked to raise foreign wives, and others were older and more disrespectful than him.

, there are so many sanctimonious old men, why should we make a fuss? Ao Shiyan is still too young.

The old beggar also wanted to tell the brother and sister in detail how many wives Marquis Rongan had, where they lived, whether they had any children, and which one was favored by Marquis Rongan more...

Ao Shiyan quickly stopped him. He was not interested in Marquis Rongan's affair and wanted to know other things.

The old beggar had no choice but to say regretfully: "What about other things? Then the second son of Marquis Rongan robbed a commoner's daughter and killed the entire family, and Marquis Rongan helped clean up the mess..."

Ao Shiyan asked eagerly: "Then has he been caught?"

The old beggar sneered, looked at him with cloudy eyes sarcastically, and said: "Arrested? Boy, why are you so naive? The family of the peasant girl who was robbed are just ordinary people with no power, so just kill them.

Who will seek justice for them? Even if there are really kind-hearted people who are sure that their family is responsible, they will die in a 'sudden accident' before that kind-hearted person can come to court to testify... Who dares to say a word now?

?"

Ao Shiyan was immediately so angry that he couldn't express his anger, because he felt that his family had died in vain.

Ao Shichu suddenly asked him: "You said no one dared to stand up for their family, so how did you know about this?"

"Right?" Ao Shiyan also looked at the old beggar in confusion.

"Humph, it's just the officials above who don't know about this matter. There are many common people who know about it privately. The daughter's family is gone, but aren't there still relatives and neighbors? Everyone is afraid of the power of the Rong'an Marquis Mansion. How dare they

I dare not say anything when I am angry, but why not curse a few words in private?" the old beggar said with a cold snort.

"Don't you want to use this matter to bring down the Rong'an Hou Mansion? I'm telling you, it's useless. Their officials protect each other. You were killed before you could complain to the top. Even if you are lucky,

If a lawsuit is really brought before a good and upright official, they can also introduce a slave as the scapegoat, saying that they don't know anything and that they are just servants who made their own decisions, and then they can easily get rid of the crime, and they can even beat him and counter-sued.

You falsely accused him..." The old beggar narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically.

Ao Shiyan fell silent immediately. Until now, he would not still naively think that Rong'anhou Mansion was a good place.

Ao Shichu only looked indignant and said, "Are we ordinary people just going to watch the people in Rong'an Hou's mansion live in glory and be arrogant and comfortable all our lives?"

"No." The old beggar shook his head and said, "What flourishes must decline. After they cooked the oil, the current Marquis Rong'an was gone, and his sons were incompetent people. At that time, Marquis Rong'an

The government begins to go downhill, and slowly the things they did will be exposed."

When Ao Shichu heard what he said, he was a little surprised and said: "Old man, you must be a learned person to say this, right?"

"Huh, what's the use of being knowledgeable? I'm reduced to being a beggar!" The old beggar sneered again.

Ao Shichu immediately shut up.

Ao Shiyan finally digested the bad news about Rong'anhou's house, and finally asked the old beggar with a faint hope: "Old man, what you just said are all the bad things done by Ronganhou and his first and second sons.

,Then what is the character of his fourth son?"

Cui Xiulin, the fourth son of Marquis Rongan, is the cousin of the brothers and sisters' mother, and the husband of their cousin Li Xiuer who they want to seek refuge in Beijing this time.

Maybe this cousin is different from his father and brother? Ao Shiyan thought with a glimmer of hope.

But the old beggar unceremoniously broke his last fantasy: "That fourth master is also a talented person. Unlike his father and brother who like beauty and sex, he only likes money and is very good at making money. How does he make money?

What about issuing loan sharks to others? This is a hugely profitable business. He likes people who don’t have enough money to pay. He can sell off his whole family and still earn money, but he still has to break his muscles and bones to finish it.

That's the end of the family property... Also, if he sees which shop has good business, he will insist on buying that shop; if there is a secret recipe for food, he will force others to sell the secret recipe to him at a low price... There is no way to make money.

Even if we don’t go to extreme lengths and use all kinds of means, it can be regarded as opening people’s eyes..."

Ao Shiyan:......

Ao Shichu was not surprised at all. In the original world plot, the fourth master's family lived a luxurious and extravagant life, and they were the richest house in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion.

The brother and sister Ao Shiyan listened to the old beggar talking about all the bad things done by the Ronganhou Mansion for most of the day. When they finally left, Ao Shiyan had no good impression of the Ronganhou Mansion, only disgust.

"Brother, the Marquis of Rong'an Mansion harbors filth and evil, and has caused countless families to be destroyed. There is not a single good person in it. Do we still want to seek refuge with relatives like that? Aren't we afraid that the bad things they did will be exposed in the future and we will be implicated?"

If we enjoy their protection, we will definitely have to pay a huge price for it in the future. This will obviously lead to endless troubles. Also, brother, you are going to take the imperial examination, and your reputation is very important.

What a injustice, your future will be ruined! Even if we are poorer now, we are still innocent. As long as we wait until my brother passes the imperial examination, the hard days will be over. There is no need for us to seek refuge.

Rong'an Hou's Mansion, right?" Ao Shichu analyzed it in a logical manner, and wanted to completely dispel Ao Shiyan's idea of ​​defecting to Rong'an Hou's Mansion.

When Ao Shiyan heard what she said, he naturally knew what she was worried about, so he touched her head and said, "Don't worry, your brother I'm not confused. Since Rong'an Hou's house is in such a bad state, of course I can't take him with him."

You go and throw yourself into a trap. Now, when they are not at the end of their lives, they are indeed very powerful and can give us a lot of convenience; but hearing so much information from the old beggar is enough to know that their character is very bad, even if we

If we go to seek refuge with our cousin, we will probably be looked down upon by them. In this case, how can we humiliate ourselves? So just forget about going to seek refuge with your cousin."

Ao Shichu breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely: "Then I'll be relieved."

As long as they have nothing to do with the Rong'an Hou Mansion, then the life of the two brothers and sisters will definitely be safe and smooth. Anyway, their cousin has long forgotten that they have such a poor relative.

In the plot of the original world, Ao Shiyan took his sister to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, saying that he was a relative of the fourth lady's mother's family and wanted to come to live with her relatives. He also reported their mother's name. However, they waited for a long time and did not receive the call.
