Chapter 99: When people’s hearts are corrupted, evil thoughts will arise (45)

Liu Gao wreaked havoc in Qingfeng Village and seized several thousand dan of grain, which he stored in his own granary.

Don’t you think that my neighbor stores grain and I store guns, so my neighbor is my granary.

The whole Qingzhou is in chaos now, with bandits everywhere on the dangerous hilltops. Liu Gao has no soldiers and no strength. He has so much money and food but can't spend it. I don't know what he is trying to do.
This is probably what Zhao Dehan is thinking!
The walls, the bed, and the refrigerator were filled with cash RMB. He embezzled more than 200 million RMB. One of the lines he cried bitterly was: I didn’t dare to spend a penny. My family has been farmers for generations... I’m afraid of poverty...

The desires of the human heart really have no end.

Liu Gao looked at the mountain of money and grain he had looted in just a few days. He was a little excited at first, but when he really succeeded, the excitement disappeared.

My spirit is weakened and I feel listless in doing anything.

"I really want to eat bacon again!"

Liu Gao couldn't help licking his lips: "I haven't tasted the hangover soup yet! Oh! How can I taste such a delicious food?"

He felt restless all day, as if ants were crawling all over his body.

At night, Liu Gao sat alone in the study, and his maid Ying'er fanned him.

Liu Gao was so anxious that his breathing became heavier. He pointed at a bowl of leftover Tremella soup and said impatiently, "Drink that soup!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The little maid took a sip and felt the taste was strange, so she was about to put down the bowl.

Liu Gao narrowed his eyes and scolded: "What? You don't want to drink the reward given by the master?"

"no……"

"Why don't you drink it soon?"

"Yes."

The little maid had no doubts and swallowed the medicine while enduring a strange taste. Soon, the medicine took effect.

With a "thump", he fell softly to the ground.

Liu Gao laughed, revealing a cruel smile, like a ghost. He quietly carried the maid into the cellar, muttering:

"Everyone's heart is wrapped in hot blood. Pour cold water on it to disperse the hot blood. When you take out the heart and liver, they become crispy... and delicious."

…………

“It’s really delicious!”

"I want to share this delicious food with my wife!"

Just as "Golden-Haired Tiger" Yan Shun said that day, "Once you eat our meat, you will fall in love with the taste and there is no going back."

After Liu Gao ate the bacon, evil seeds were planted in his heart. Once he gained power, evil thoughts suddenly arose.

As for his wife, she was also a sinister person. She ate a bowl of "hangover soup" in a daze, and called it a delicacy.

By the time it was discovered, it was already too late.

I fell in love with the taste too.

However, within just three or five days, the meat became inedible due to the weather.

The death of a maid could cover it up.

But if someone kills again, it will be difficult to deal with.

Moreover, Liu Gao also discovered that the taste of this ordinary meat was completely different from the bacon from the mountains.

"Madam, the bacon on Qingfeng Mountain is the real delicacy! It's a pity that Jinmaohu was killed by Wu Song... I heard that another one escaped that day, named Short-legged Tiger, and now he has gathered a group of heroes on Qingfeng Mountain. I know Short-legged Tiger, but I have no chance to get close to him... Oh! I'm so greedy."

"My lord... is it really that delicious?"

The beautiful young woman snuggled in Liu Gao's arms, her slender fingers drawing circles on his chest ribs.

"How could I lie to you?"

"My mother's birthday will be in a few days..."

The young woman's voice was soft and sticky: "It's been exactly five years since my mother passed away. I will go to her grave and burn paper. If the Qingfeng Mountain bandits kidnap me, I will be able to see the short-legged hero."

"Madam, aren't you afraid?" "Since you want to do great things, what's wrong with me taking a risk for you?"

"Ma'am, you are so kind!"

"I am also doing this for your future!"

…………

The head of the village, Lady Liu Wang, rode her donkey and went to Qingfeng Mountain on her own initiative, where she was naturally captured by the patrolling soldiers.

"Brother, a young woman came down the mountain and insisted on seeing the short-legged tiger Wang Ying. Don't you think it's strange?"

After Pei Xuan personally interrogated him, he knocked on the door of Cao Jieqingxiu's retreat.

"You want to see Wang Ying? Wang Ying is extremely lustful. How can a young woman dare to see him? This is like sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!"

"I was also curious. After some questioning, I found out that the young woman was the wife of the new village leader Liu Gao. She said she had something important to discuss with the short-legged tiger."

"Oh!"

Cao Jie nodded slightly: "This Liu Gao is really desperate! He wants to join forces with Qingfeng Mountain to fight against Hua Rong."

Pei Xuan was a clerk in the Six Cases, so it was easy for him to interrogate a woman: "Brother, this is only one aspect. That woman is also stupid. I lied to you, but why did you think she went up the mountain to see Wang Ying? It turned out to be to get the recipe for pickled bacon."

"..."

Cao Jie was stunned and said, "Eating people? I'll go see her. She's possessed by a demon."

There is a poem in the original book as evidence:

Without makeup, her figure is naturally charming;
She is too lazy to wear makeup, and she is naturally beautiful.

Her hair was half-tied up, and she was so beautiful that she could captivate all creatures.

Her eyes are filled with sorrow, and she is so beautiful that the moon and flowers would be ashamed of themselves.

It is just like Chang'e leaving the Moon Palace, or like the Weaver Girl descending to the Yaochi Lake.

She is so beautiful as to make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and she is as beautiful as the moon and the flowers. She is also called Chang'e and Zhinu. The author does not hesitate to use these nouns to describe her. You can imagine how beautiful she is!

However, no matter how smooth she is, it is difficult to conceal her vicious and cruel face.

In the original novel, Song Jiang was considered a good man at the beginning. Not only did he bury Yan Poxi's father, he also couldn't protect himself when he arrived at Qingfeng Mountain, and he also stopped Wang Aihu from raping her.

The woman escaped and returned safely to Qingfeng Village.

What happened? Instead of being grateful, she turned evil into evil and put Song Jiang in jail.

Naturally, Song Jiang refused to admit it at first, but she demanded severe torture, and Song Jiang could not bear it, so he confessed.

Later, if Hua Rong had not risked his future to save him, Song Jiang would have been taken to the state for trial and beheaded.

Unable to swallow this anger, Song Jiang teamed up with the three wastes from Qingfeng Mountain to kill Liu Zhizhai's entire family.

It can be seen that this woman is not only vicious, but also stupid.

Cao Jie sat down in front of her and asked with a gloomy face, "You want to eat human flesh?"

The charming woman was shocked and asked in astonishment: "You...you are Wu Song's brother...why are you in Qingfeng Mountain?"

"Why am I in Qingfeng Mountain? Then why did you come to Qingfeng Mountain?"

"I was kidnapped by you."

"Hehehe, I didn't expect that Liu Gao was also possessed by a demon. You two are really a very good couple!"

Cao Jie stood up, shook his head and sighed, "When people's hearts are corrupted, evil thoughts will arise naturally. Cao Zheng, you have never solved the problem of a woman before!"

"Let me go, let me go. Don't kill me... I... I am willing to serve you..."

"I can't afford it!"

Cao Jie waved his sleeves in disdain, looked in the distance at the direction of Qingfeng Village, and said, "That's great. Let Wu Song arrest him and punish him for colluding with bandits. When Wu Yong buys an official position, Brother Hua Rong can become the head of the village."
