Wang quickly walked out of the house, "What's wrong?"
The Junmei siblings also looked at their father in panic.
Wang Dayou gasped and said: "Brother Xu, Brother Xu was taken away by the government!"
The hearts of Xu Yue and others in the hospital suddenly trembled.
"Why?" Ms. Wang asked with a frown, and motioned to Xu Erniang to bring Wang Dayou a bowl of water. "You should calm down your breathing first and then tell me what happened."
Wang's calm expression gradually restored Wang Dayou's panic.
He took the water, took a big gulp, breathed again, and immediately told what happened half an hour ago.
Early this morning, he and Xu Da took a few newly recruited disciples out of the city and went to the surrounding villages to make kangs for people. Seeing that the sun was about to set, before the work was finished, a few disciples were left to clean up.
When it came to work, he and Xu Da took the first step.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the two entered the county town, several officials rushed towards them and "invited" Xu Da away.
Wang Dayou described: "Those officers looked polite, so they picked up Brother Xu, put me aside, and took Brother Xu away alone."
"At first, thinking about what Mr. Liu Cha said before, I thought that my eldest brother was going to get promoted and make a fortune. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I went to Mr. Liu's house to ask for peace of mind."
"Unexpectedly, when I knocked on the door, the Liu family's sister-in-law said with a panicked expression that Mr. Liu Cha had been taken away by people from the Prefect's Mansion at noon. I immediately felt something was wrong and hurried back to find you, sister-in-law!"
Speaking of this, Wang Dayou was already sweating and his face was slightly red. He wanted to do something but had no idea. He looked at Wang anxiously, waiting for her to make up her mind.
Wang had a bad premonition when she first heard Wang Dayou say that Xu Da was asked to leave by official duties. Now she heard that Liu Rong was taken to the prefect's mansion early. After going through all the information in her mind, she was sure
, this is definitely not a sign that he will be favored by the eunuch and will be promoted and make a fortune.
The ancients valued etiquette, especially those from aristocratic and aristocratic families, who paid even more attention to this. If they really wanted to invite someone, they would never invite the person away very suddenly in the evening, without even a greeting card.
As for Liu Rong, his family's success in settling in the county town was only possible with his guarantee. The prefect's office called him away because they must have suspected something about the Xu family.
But what could possibly make the prefect misunderstand their family?
To say that the Huokang Gang's reputation is growing day by day is indeed a bit eye-catching, but based on this alone, it is not worthy of the magistrate of the county to care about it.
What else could it be?
Just as she was confused, the corner of her clothes was pulled. Wang looked down and saw that Xu Yue was leaning beside her at some point, blinking at her with two pairs of big black eyes, her mouth slightly opened.
, silently said two words: assassination!
Wang was suddenly shocked, that's right! The real murderer behind the assassination of the prefect has not yet been brought to justice!
At this time, the arrogant face of a certain ranger who jumped over the wall suddenly flashed before Xu Erniang's eyes, and various clueless information suddenly connected together.
"It's over!" Xu Erniang stamped her foot fiercely and exclaimed: "It's him!"
Mo Xiaocheng is the assassin!
The mother and daughter looked at each other, it was true that if you were sitting at home, disaster would come from the sky.
Seeing that the Xu family's mother and daughter seemed to have their own thoughts, Wang Dayou, who was watching, looked confused and confused.
"What is he? Who is he? What are you talking about?" Wang Dayou asked anxiously.
Wang waved her hands, not wanting to talk to him more and involve him.
However, the speculations of the three of them are just speculations now. Whether they are involved in this matter still needs to be confirmed.
Mrs. Wang told the Xu Yue brothers and sisters: "You stay at home for now, while your Uncle Dayou and I will go out to inquire."
The Xu Yue brothers and sister nodded, watched the two adults leave, and paced anxiously in the courtyard.
As the sky darkened little by little, Xu Yue felt a strong sense of uneasiness.
We were no longer in the mood to make dinner, so the three brothers and the two Wang Junmei brothers heated up some leftover dumplings from lunch and finished their dinner in one go.
When Xu Yue's uneasiness became more intense, Wang and Wang Dayou, who had gone out to inquire, returned at night. As soon as they entered the house, Wang nodded heavily to the three brothers and sisters.
As expected, the matter was related to the assassination of the prefect. The brothers from the Huokang Gang saw with their own eyes that Xu Da was taken into the prefect's mansion instead of into the county government office.
"Have you made dinner?" Wang asked.
Wang Dayou kept muttering beside him, "What can we do?" Wang's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
Xu Yue shook her head, seeing that her mother-in-law wanted to have dinner, she and her sister hurriedly went to light up the stove and cooked a pot of pimple soup.
"Eat!" Mrs. Wang brought a big bowl to Wang Da, then picked up her own bowl and ate it quickly.
After taking two bites, he saw Xu Yue and others looking at him anxiously, gesturing to the children to eat together.
"Only when you are full can you have strength. Eat quickly." Wang urged in a gentle tone.
But just such a sentence made the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters feel the seriousness of the matter.
The three brothers and sisters looked at each other. Xu Dalang was indeed not full, so he filled a large bowl for himself.
Sisters Xu Erniang and Xu Yue shook their heads and turned around and entered the house.
Xu Erniang opened all the cabinets and boxes in the room, took out everything and threw them on the bed.
Xu Yue took out a piece of bed sheet and packed all the clothes and bedding into the small kitchen of the research room.
After quickly cleaning up one room, the two sisters continued to rush to the next one.
The family's important belongings have always been in Xu Yue's research room. Now the two sisters only need to pack some daily necessities, clothes and bedding, and they quickly packed the things that needed to be packed.
There were so many things squeezed into the small kitchen that they were piled up to the ceiling.
Looking at the room in front of her where her family had lived for four months and the large fire bed, Xu Yue sighed reluctantly, closed the door, and came to the yard.
At this time, the Wang family who were having dinner next to the kitchen had already finished their food. The mother and son looked at each other. The tacit understanding of having experienced hardships together allowed them to understand each other's meaning with just one look.
Mrs. Wang stood up and said to Wang Dayou: "Brother Dayou, take Junmei and Ajian home first and pack up all the important things at home. We will come to find you soon."
Wang Dayou looked at the locked house behind his mother and son, and then at Wang's calm face. He frowned hesitantly for a while, then took his two children home to pack up.
In the dark alley, Ms. Wang walked at the front holding a lantern, followed by the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters. The mother and son were walking in a hurry, as if they were going somewhere.
When they reached the entrance of the alley, Wang signaled the three of them to wait here, lowered the brim of her hat, took the bottle of pepper that Xu Yue handed over, and walked towards the back door of the closed shop in front of her.
