What a sin! The most handsome lazy man in the village married a crazy woman.

Chapter 261: Patriarch Qiao found Gao Hang

Governor Li and his men searched the forest again, found all the bodies and carried them to an open space for cremation. They then dismantled the traps in the forest, found all the money in Baihu Village and Yimen, and discovered the empty treasury.

"Boss Huang said that there was originally gold in here, a whole warehouse full of gold, but for some reason, the gold disappeared overnight. It was said that it was stolen by Guard Li." General Zhao said with a frown.

Li Zhifu said, "It can't be Guard Li. There were only two of them at the time. How could two people steal so much gold? I think it must be Boss Huang who is lying. Maybe he hid the gold. And Mr. Qiao, we have to interrogate him thoroughly when we get back."

Magistrate Li and his entourage searched the forest carefully several times and spent nearly three days searching everywhere, but they couldn't find any trace of gold.

Prefect Li reported the matter to Xiao Jingxuan.

Xiao Jingxuan waved his hand: "If you can't find it, then forget it. Since the bandits have been wiped out, I should also prepare to return to the capital."

Hearing this, Magistrate Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as this old man was finally leaving.

He begged Xiao Jingxuan to say a few good words for him in front of the emperor.

On the day Ye Tang and Xiao Jingxuan returned to Beijing, a team also set out from Shuicheng, escorting sixteen poor women to Tianan Prefecture to start a new life.

At the same time, in the capital, the head of the Qiao family found Gao Hang. He was extremely angry when he saw that Gao Hang, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, lived in such a small house, had no servants to serve him, and had the worst food and clothing.

"Gao Yi, you are doing very well, you are really doing very well!" The head of the Qiao family beat his chest in grief. He never thought that Gao Yi would treat his son like this.

"Old man, who are you?" Gao Hang held a hard steamed bun in his hand and looked at the head of the Qiao family in front of him in confusion: "I don't know" you.

"I'm your uncle, don't you even recognize me?" The Qiao family head walked over in disbelief and grabbed his shoulders: "I'm your mother's brother, I watched you grow up! Hang'er, you thought you could still recognize people even though you were sick, why don't you even recognize me now?"

Gao Yi frowned: "My uncle?"

"Yes, I am your uncle."

The Qiao family head's tone was excited.

Gao Hang frowned, and no one knew what he was thinking about. Suddenly, he held his head and cried out.

"My head hurts so much, I can't remember!"

"Hang'er, what's wrong with you? Hang'er! Come on, follow your uncle into the house and have some rest..." The head of the Qiao family helped Gao Hang into the house, wanting him to rest and drink some water. The moment he opened the door, he saw a stinking corpse.

"Ah! What's going on? Why is there a dead person here? Who is he?"

Gao Hang held his head with a painful look on his face. "He was a rickshaw driver, and was killed by thieves. My father asked him to take care of me, but he beat me every day and said that my father didn't want me anymore. Woohoo, my father killed my mother and didn't want me either. You said you are my uncle, can you save me?"

Patriarch Qiao was shocked: "You said your mother was killed by your father?"

Gao Hang's face was filled with pain. "Yes, I saw it. I saw with my own eyes my father killing my mother. Woohoo, my father threw me here to silence me. Woohoo, no one wants me anymore. No one wants me anymore!"

The Qiao family leader was stunned for a long time: "No, impossible, no..."

Gao Hang continued to hold his head, acting crazy, and told the truth about his mother's death word by word.

Those words, like needles, pierced the head of the Qiao family hard, and he was so angry that he was shaking all over.

It turned out to be true. His sister was really killed by Gao Yi, and she did not die of illness.

Gao Yi deceived him and deceived everyone!

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Patriarch Qiao grabbed Gao Hang and yelled, "Why are you telling me the truth now?"

Gao Hang covered his head, his expression becoming more and more painful: "My head hurts so much, Mom, please don't die, Dad, don't kill my mom! It hurts so much!"

He couldn't bear it any longer, pushed the head of the Qiao family away, and slammed his head against the wall.

"Hang'er!"

Gao Hang's head was bleeding and he lay limp on the ground.

The head of the Qiao family burst into tears and hurriedly asked someone to carry Gao Hang onto the carriage and return to the Qiao Mansion.

Thanks to the timely treatment of the court doctor, Gao Hang saved his life. He woke up from his coma, his eyes no longer confused. He looked at the head of the Qiao family and shouted clearly: "Uncle, I am alive."

At this moment, the head of the Qiao family discovered that Gao Hang seemed to have become a different person.

Prime Minister's House.

Gao Yi had just returned from the palace when he heard the red-masked man come to report: "Master Qiao has taken the eldest young master away."

Gao Yi paused, then closed his eyes and sighed softly, "They finally found out."

He raised his eyes and looked at the red-masked man: "Ghost Face, I am almost dying. If you want to leave, then leave quickly, otherwise you won't be able to leave in a few days."

He has received news that Shao Huan has been arrested, Yimen has been completely exposed, and the evidence of the Qiao family's collusion with foreign enemies has fallen into the hands of the emperor.

Gao, Yu and the Qiao family are grasshoppers on the same string. If something happens to the Qiao family, something will happen to the Gao family as well.

The man in the red mask looked at Gao Yi. Gao Yi had recently developed a strange disease. Many doctors had consulted him but none of them could cure him. There was no cure.

Perhaps because he was about to die, Gao Yi seemed to see through many things and regretted some of the wrong things he had done.

"I won't leave. As long as you are alive, I will protect you and do anything for you."

This was his promise to Gao Yi. Only after Gao Yi's death could he regain his true freedom.

Gao Yi smiled bitterly: "After years of planning, it was all in vain in the end. I got nothing."

Not only did he get nothing, he also destroyed a lot of things with his own hands.

Gao Yi came to the study, took out the portrait of Princess Zhaoyang, and looked at it for a long time. Only when the servant came to report that the head of the Qiao family had arrived did Gao Yi leave the study.

As soon as they met, the head of the Qiao family punched Gao Yi in the face: "Beast!"

"Your teacher told me how my sister died?" The head of the Qiao family asked Gao Yi: "Did you kill her?"

"Why? Tell me!"

Facing these questions, Gao Yi sneered: "You heard some ridiculous rumors from outside and came here to question the truth, Master Qiao, can't you use your brain?"

"How dare you mock me at this time!" The head of the Qiao family grabbed his collar and punched him again.

Gao Yi was beaten so hard that he vomited blood.

The servants wanted to stop them, but Gao Yi raised his hand to stop them.

Gao Yi pushed Patriarch Qiao away and looked at him solemnly: "Have you had enough fighting? If so, sit down and talk to me slowly."

Patriarch Qiao said angrily: "I just want to know the truth."

Gao Yi said: "The treasury of Shuicheng is gone."

Qiao Jiazhuang's expression paused.

Gao Yi added: "The Qiao family will be confiscated and exterminated in the near future."

The face of the Qiao family head turned even paler.
