Chapter 494 - 0494: Evil Begets Evil 1_1
As soon as the Discipline Inspection Commission officials arrived for the investigation, Liao Gousheng, the husband of Little Taohong, immediately started spilling the beans, venting all his grievances.
"Zhao, the political commissar, is having an affair with the old water seller’s daughter-in-law!" Liao Gousheng, not wanting to accept being made a cuckold and subsequently being treated like a rat crossing the street, immediately tried to drag others down with him, "I heard from under the window Little Taohong talking with Political Commissar Zhao. Little Taohong was even jealous because the plump little boy that the water seller’s daughter-in-law gave birth to is Zhao’s seed. Zhao would give ten dollars to the old water seller’s daughter-in-law every month!"
What a mess of things this is!
The faces of the officers from the Discipline Inspection Committee immediately turned as black as ink. Upon return, they convened a meeting, deciding to intensify the investigation. Before long they had dug up everything about Zhao Yide, including his past of killing his original wife with his licentious ways before the liberation.
After the death of Zhao Yide’s parents, the child born of his first wife severed ties with him, moving far to the barren wastelands, all because of his actions.
In the later stages of the investigation, Chen Xueniang almost got implicated.
Fortunately, when Zhao Yide caused his original wife’s death, he was staying in a brothel and had no relation to Chen Xueniang. At the time, she was being kept by a powerful warlord, exclusively for him, without any other clients, and certainly not someone of Zhao Yide’s humble standing. It was only when the powerful warlord was defeated and the person Zhao Yide had aligned himself with rose to power, that he had a chance to be in her good graces. However, after the liberation, Chen Xueniang had no further dealings with Zhao Yide.
