Su Muer hurriedly stretched out her arms, held Qing'er in her arms, and comforted her softly,
"Qing'er, be strong, you and I, and Doudou. Although the second brother is in a trance, he is still our relative. Now, the third sister will go to the city to investigate some things. Later, we will take the second brother with us and leave here."
"What is the third sister going to check?"
Su Muer's eyes were empty, and she looked at her and said softly:
"I can't let dad and the others die inexplicably like this. I want to find out why they died suddenly and why my second brother went crazy?"
Hearing what she said, Qing'er nodded in agreement,
"Third sister, go ahead. Doudou and I are waiting for you here to avoid going with you and causing trouble."
Su Mu'er comforted Qing'er and Doudou, took advantage of the darkness, put on night clothes, and went out.
At the gate of the city, when she was about to climb over the wall, someone patted her behind. She turned around in surprise, and the person behind took off the scarf from her face. Only then did she realize that it was Ye Shihan who was following her.
"What are you here for?"
She had doubts on her face. She was going to investigate the cause of her father's death today, and no one could stop her. Therefore, her voice became much colder when she spoke to him. She felt that he must be here to stop her.
Ye Shihan looked at her with worry in his eyes,
"I go with you."
"You know what I'm going to do?"
"Of course, your father and the others died inexplicably. Why didn't you investigate? In fact, I also investigated, but I couldn't find out the reason. The result of my investigation is that they died of fatigue, and your second brother died of injuries.
Exciting and crazy, nothing else. For this reason, I also punished the local officials."
"What do you mean? Do you think I shouldn't check again?"
"No." Ye Shihan hurriedly shook his head, "You should go check it out. I just want to tell you that no matter what the result is, you have to accept it. This is generally the case in Northern Xinjiang. There are many people who died inexplicably. Even if nothing is found out,
There is no other way. The people who come here are slaves because of their mistakes, and no one cares about their life or death."
Su Muer knew that although his words sounded unpleasant, they made sense.
How could anyone care about the life and death of people who could be sent to northern Xinjiang? Some people died, and their families didn't even know about it, and they were thrown into mass graves.
After pondering for a long time, Su Muer looked at him firmly,
"Even so, I still want to know why everyone in my Su family died of fatigue?"
After saying that, she turned around and flew up the city wall. Seeing this, Ye Shihan put the black cloth around his face again and followed her up the wall.
After crossing the city wall, the two walked quickly in the city. Ye Shihan took her hand and whispered to her:
"I will take you to the Yamen. Only the Yamen Zhang Shun knows about this."
Su Muer did not refuse his pull, but followed him forward.
After a while, they stood at the back door of the government office. Ye Shihan said softly:
"This Zhang Shun is a cunning man. It's hard to pry his mouth open. Even when I asked him, he didn't tell the truth. And after so many years, it's hard to say whether he would be perfunctory, so we have to use some unusual means."
OK."
After hearing what he said, Su Muer pondered for a while and whispered a few words in his ear. Ye Shihan nodded solemnly, and then the two of them climbed over the wall and entered the government office together.
Zhang Shun is the largest official here in northern Xinjiang. If the Horqin people had not invaded repeatedly in recent years and Ye Shihan led troops to station, he, as an official, would have become the local emperor here, and no one would dare to mess with him.
At this time, Zhang Shunzheng was lingering on the bed with his newly married concubine in his arms, and the ambiguous voice filled the whole room, making people blush and heartbeat.
The two people lying outside the door were stunned for a moment, and then Su Muer turned her head and glared at Ye Shihan, who was staring at her.
He also realized that he had lost his mind because of the sound, so he quickly changed his thoughts and made a gesture to her. Su Mu'er then nodded, and the two of them split up.
The two people on the bed were extremely entangled at this time. The yamen was heavily guarded, and they were completely unaware that danger was approaching.
"Sir, you promised me that if I take good care of you, I will ask my father to come to the house as an errand. You must not forget it."
"No, little beauty, don't you know my status in Northern Xinjiang? Tomorrow I will ask your father to come into the house. There is a shortage of prison guards in the sky jail. That is a job for the underprivileged, so let him do it."
"Sir, you are so kind to me..."
After saying that, the candlelight in the room suddenly went out, Zhang Shun frowned, but the woman on him acted coquettishly,
"Look, sir, we are so embarrassed by the candlelight that we don't dare to look at it."
Zhang Shun didn't think so, but his expression was a little nervous. He pushed the woman on him away, pulled off a piece of clothing to cover his body, and then got down to the ground alertly.
The woman on the bed looked confused, but she didn't dare to speak. She hurriedly pulled the quilt to wrap herself up, and looked at him timidly.
At this time, the door opened and closed suddenly. There was no wind outside, and the flickering door was really scary.
Zhang Shun has a temperament that is not afraid of everything. How can such a small thing scare him? He looked around with alert eyes and walked slowly to the door. Just as he was about to raise his hand to close the door, a strange white mask appeared in front of him.
,
"Zhang Shun, you have made me suffer so much."
He took two steps back in astonishment, pointing at the non-human and non-ghost person in front of him.
"You...who are you? Come..."
Before he could say the words "Who's here?" the man forced him to take a few steps back. He walked in and flicked his sleeves, and the door was firmly closed.
He moved forward step by step and approached Zhang Shun. Zhang Shun retreated step by step as he pushed forward. At this time, he felt that he had bumped into someone. He hurriedly exclaimed,
"Go back to bed quickly and don't come down."
He thought that the person behind him was his concubine, but he didn't expect that at this time, his concubine had been knocked unconscious on the bed, and the person standing behind him was a green-faced man with stern teeth.
The moment he turned his head and looked into the eyes of that person, his eyes widened in horror, and he hurriedly wanted to run to the side, but his collar was grabbed by the person in front of him.
"Zhang Shun, you still want to run away? You have done many evil things, and today is the day you die."
"Let me go. I don't care if you are humans or ghosts. Don't use such methods to scare me. I am not afraid of you pretending to be gods."
"Hahaha."
Ye Shihan suddenly laughed wildly in a cold and terrifying voice. Even Zhang Shun, who was as bold as the sky, felt chills when he heard the voice.
Especially when he deliberately lowered his voice, the sound coming from his throat was like a roar that resounded throughout the sky.
"Zhang Shun, we received reports from many people in the underworld that you caused their unexplained deaths. Today you and I will go back to the underworld to be interrogated by the King of Hell."
"No."
Zhang Shun was suddenly afraid. He took a few steps back in panic and retreated directly to the base of the wall.
"No, anyone who comes here to die in Northern Xinjiang deserves to die. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, I am also following orders. They died because someone wanted them to die, not because I sincerely wanted to harm them."
"You still dare to talk nonsense? Someone asked them to die? Then Su Dening is in charge of the book of life and death in the underworld now. You killed the Su family. Do you think he should let you go to trial?"
"It's unjust."
Zhang Shun suddenly knelt down, "It's not that I wanted to harm the Su family. Originally, I wanted His Highness the Seventh Prince to save his face and let the Su family do some light work. Who would have thought that the daughter of the Su family was restless and not only became a bandit?
To contend with the imperial court, and to join forces with the people of the fixed country to raise troops to rebel, this is an order from the emperor, and it has nothing to do with... me."
Hearing this, Ye Shihan was a little surprised, and Su Muer's face was also filled with an ashen color.
She couldn't help but speak,
"The emperor ordered you to let them do manual labor. He didn't want them to die. How dare you say you didn't know about it?"
"It's unjust."
Zhang Shun cried and cried for injustice again.
"On the surface, the Emperor issued an imperial edict to punish the Su family, but in fact, he secretly issued a secret edict to me. No one in the Su family could survive. This made me feel compassionate. Seeing that the second son of the Su family, Su Yuanming, was crazy, let him go.
He got it."
After hearing this, Su Muer felt that her mind went blank.
Your Majesty, he is so cruel.
Seeing that Su Muer's expression had changed slightly, Ye Shihan suddenly raised his hand and slapped Zhang Shun's neck hard, causing him to fall limply to the ground.
He picked up Su Mu'er, who was still in a trance, and quickly walked out of the gate of the government office.
Walking on this cold street, Su Muer's heart ached very much. She didn't expect that her grandfather, father and eldest brother suffered such a disaster because of her. How could her heart not hurt?
She was forced to become a bandit. If it weren't for the repeated attacks from the imperial court, why would she be like this?
She got acquainted with people from Guning Kingdom because of Liu Jin and Xiaoqian. She had never thought of confronting the imperial court, but this stupid emperor actually framed her for rebellion.
Her heart suddenly hurt, and she was very scared. If her father and the others knew the news before they died, would they be very sad? Will they understand her?
The revenge for killing my father must be avenged.
Thinking of this, she suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Shihan with stiff eyes,
"The reason why I am today is because I escaped from the capital that time, so I tell you today that I, Su Mu'er, really want to become an enemy of the imperial court as that dog emperor said. You go back and tell him so that he can have the ability to kill him.
Kill all my Su family members, otherwise, I will avenge my father, my grandfather, my eldest brother and my second brother."
Looking at her sharp eyes, Ye Shihan suddenly looked at her worriedly,
"Mu'er, what are you going to do? You can't do whatever you want."
A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of Su Mu'er's mouth,
"Speaking of which, you and your mother-in-law are both my enemies. If it hadn't been for your mother-in-law's frame-up, why would I have fled? If I hadn't fled, I wouldn't have gone to Jitou Mountain. If I hadn't gone to Jitou Mountain, I wouldn't have done what I did.
He killed the bandits, so none of you can get away with it."
Her voice was so cold that it made him tremble in his heart. Looking at her face, which was familiar but yet so unfamiliar to him, he felt an indescribable mixed feeling in his heart.
