Chapter 502: Cruel to His Own Family
Xie Congshan’s words had successfully gotten Xie Mangshan’s attention.
He glared at the other party with a venomous gaze, “It’s all because of you. This calamity of mine could have been resolved! It’s all because you went to collect the debt today. I’m no longer sincere in the heavens’ eyes!”
When Xie Congshan heard that, his face flushed with anger.
However, Xie Mangshan was currently worried and afraid. He did not know where his anger was directed to. The more he looked at Xie Congshan, the more he hated him.
Why was there no news that the soldiers wanted to arrest him before?!
It just so happened that at that moment, when his third brother went to collect the debt that the news immediately arrived!
Who brought this bad luck?!
The master was right. He was the villain in his life. It was caused by him!
Xie Congshan could not believe that he was being blamed just like that. Of course, he was also secretly angry.
However, he had never won against his eldest brother in the past few decades. Now that he met his eldest brother’s angry eyes, he could not refute. The pent-up anger was hidden in the bottom of his heart. He was extremely sullen.
That night, the two brothers could not sleep.
Early the next morning, Xie Mangshan went to the criminal division to look for someone.
He looked humbly at Xie Pinggang.
“Nephew…” Xie Mangshan was much older now, and he looked pitiful.
After being scared for so long, he was still alive. One could say that he had a pretty strong body.
Xie Pinggang chuckled, “Uncle? Why are you looking for me? Oh, let me guess, is it because of the crime you committed earlier?”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Xie Mangshan heard it and quickly nodded.
Xie Pinggang sneered, “What does Uncle want me to do? Do you want me to inform the officials and ask them not to arrest you, or do you want me to arrest you personally?”
Xie Mangshan’s heart raced. At that moment, his legs were weak, he almost knelt for Xie Pinggang, “Nephew! I didn’t accept many bribes! Besides, everyone else is greedy too. Please help me. I promise that I’ll be honest in the future. No matter what job I have, I won’t be greedy anymore!”
“So you’re saying that after I saved you, I have to pave the way for the rest of your life for you?” Xie Pinggang thought the person in front of him seemed to take him as a fool.
“Pinggang, I-I’ll kneel to you, alright?!” As he said that, Xie Mangshan really bent his knees.
“If you want me to lose my life, just say it,” even though he said that, Xie Pinggang calmly accepted the kneel, “You don’t have any gold under your knees. Even if you kneel to the end of time, it’s worthless to me!”
“What do you want me to do in order for you to help me?!” Xie Mangshan was a little desperate at the moment.
“Help you? Why should I do that? I even want to tell you that I was the one who exposed you. I handed the evidence to the Crown Prince the day before yesterday and then arrested a group of people. For this, the Crown Prince even specially rewarded me.” Xie Pinggang had a smug look on his face.
These were all his achievements. As he accumulated his credit, he would be promoted quickly in the future.
His ability to stab people in the back was getting better and better.
However, who could say that he was wrong?
These supervisors were getting out of line, and they dared to accept bribes!
Those people who did not offer bribes had to be tortured. As a result, quite a number of people actually died.
Since he was dishonest, he deserved what happened to him!
When Xie Mangshan heard that, his entire body trembled, “H-How could you do this?! I’m your uncle! Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the heavens?!”
How could there be such a heartless person in this world who was cruel to his own family?!
“I punished my relative out of righteousness. With such a precedent, who would dare to lay a hand on me in the future?!” Xie Pinggang looked extremely cold.
