The brothers nodded. After all, it was too mysterious to know the magic. An Shuyao was the lucky star of their An family. It would be fine for their An family to know about it themselves. Outsiders didn't need to know so much.
After discussing it, they agreed not to tell An Shuyao about this matter. When the fire broke out, they could just bring the people out safely.
An Yunzheng was finally able to go back to his room and sleep. He lay on the bed and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.
Lu Jin looked at the night: "Why haven't you seen Hu Jun recently?"
An Yunrui scratched his head and thought for a while: "After I beat him up that day, he was a little scared and said he would go back to Tianyuan City to stay for a while before coming back. However, one of his two followers was left in the house. We will find him then.
That attendant would be fine."
An Jingzhou touched his chin: "Tsk, I'm just telling you why people disappeared after planting the land, and we went out to seek refuge together. If the house is gone, we still have to inform him first, otherwise it will look like our behavior is too bandit.
.”
An Yue nodded: "Then it's up to you to write the letter."
After the discussion, they went back to their rooms.
As soon as it dawned, Liu Yuxue came out to boil water for everyone to wash up. She had developed this habit for so long.
The second one to get up was An Yunrui. Every time he saw Liu Yuxue, a small figure sitting behind the stove, warming herself over the fire and boiling water.
He went over to help throw firewood. Seeing this, Liu Yuxue moved a little to the side. There was a low stool on one side, and An Yunrui stretched out his long arm and pulled it under him.
The two of them didn't speak, just listened to the crackling of firewood in the stove.
After some time, the water was hot. An Yunrui scooped up water and rubbed his face before going out again.
Liu Yuxue looked at her back and quickly looked away.
City Lord Mu came after they had breakfast, and brought Wei Chiyu over early in the morning, while Mu Jincheng should still be recuperating at home.
City Lord Mu laughed loudly: "Master Lu, Mrs. Lu, I have wiped out all the bandits in Qingfeng Village. From now on, you can just go in and out with confidence. If there are some unsighted people from other mountains who offend you, just give it to me."
Mu passed the letter, and I promise to destroy that mountain with thousands of cavalry!"
An Shuyao: "..."
She smiled lightly and said, "Thank you very much, City Master Mu."
"You're welcome, Mrs. Lu."
As he said that, he took out a stack of letter paper from the cloth bag that he brought with him: "Master Lu, this is the letter hidden in the secret room by the bandits in Qingfeng Village. After checking it, I found that Qingfeng Village is not simple. No wonder it is so rampant.
, it turns out that he not only has contact with Qian Feng, but also has some slight contact with the governor of Xunyang County."
Lu Jin frowned slightly. It was not surprising that the people from Qingfeng Village and Qian Feng knew Lu Jin, but why they could still be related to the county guard of Xunyang County. After all, Xunyang County was about a day's drive from Taolin County.
City Master Mu frowned: "There are too many forces involved behind this bandit. I only dare to check Qian Feng's place. Xunyang County is not under the jurisdiction of Tianyuan City, but is under the jurisdiction of Saigon Prefecture. If this is involved, then
A lot of stuff will be pulled out, so I'm here to ask you what to do with this matter."
Seeing Lu Jin's silence, City Lord Mu rummaged through it again: "This is the financial transaction with Qian Feng. This is from Xunyang County. There are also some whose names I don't know. They are probably rich businessmen.
Hire bandits to do murder and smuggling."
As he was flipping through the pages, a piece of letter paper fell to the ground. An Shuyao bent down and picked it up. The cover was signed by Cai Runtian, and there was a word "Liu" on the exposed paper.
She opened the letter and her pupils shrank when she touched the content inside. She looked at Liu Yuxue who was still boiling water for Wei Chiyu seriously, her red lips pursed tightly, and the paper made some wrinkles on her fingertips.
Lu Jin noticed something strange about her and asked, "But what did you find wrong?"
An Shuyao glanced at the letter Lu Jin, he pondered for a moment and then said: "This is her business, you see how she handles it."
An Shuyao nodded, looked at City Lord Mu again, and asked, "Are those bandits dead?"
City Lord Mu shook his head: "No, they are all locked up in the prison of Taolin County."
An Shuyao then walked out and came to Liu Yuxue's side. She was adding firewood, looking at the water, and stirring the sweet potato jelly. After all, An Shuyao was going to open her business in a while. Since she was selling hot and sour noodles, she would definitely need it.
Lots of sweet potato vermicelli.
An Shuyao sat next to her forehead, took the bowl, and handed the letter to her: "Take a look at this."
Liu Yuxue raised her eyebrows slightly: "What is it?"
When she opened the letter and touched the content inside, her whole face turned pale. She turned over and over in disbelief, and read over and over again. She almost didn't recognize the words that were put together inside, but she couldn't read from the end.
Avert your eyes at that line of writing.
If Liu Chengyin is killed, Cai will definitely pay him a lot of money.
Liu Yuxue's hands were trembling a little. Liu Chengyin was her father's name, and Cai Runtian was her cousin's name, her aunt's son.
How could...how could this happen?
Liu Yuxue looked at it at least ten times. The letter fell from her hand to the ground, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
"So..." Her voice was slightly choked: "My father's death was not an accident, but a deliberate murder by my aunt's family. Is that true?"
An Shuyao sighed slightly and picked up the letter: "According to the content of the letter, your cousin hired people from Qingfeng Village to be killers and kidnapped your parents on their way to Taolin County.
You were lucky enough to escape, but because there are no men in your family, your aunt decided to let your cousin take care of your parents' inheritance for the time being."
"His intention is also simple. He wants to marry you and seize your family's property more legitimately. But after all, you have been away from Xunyang County for so long. What used to be yours should have changed hands under their control...
…”
Even if Liu Yuxue stayed at that time, she still could not escape the fate of being manipulated by the Cai family. She was destined to become a stepping stone for the Cai family to seek her family's property.
If she obeyed, she might end up with a better outcome. If she rebelled, she would probably die. But she was lucky and managed to escape to Rock Village. The Cai family was not that powerful to reach out here, so they were probably just waiting for Liu Yuxue to go back and throw herself into the trap.
Woolen cloth.
An Shuyao was silent for a moment, looking at Liu Yuxue who had her head lowered. At this time, water droplets fell from her feet, soaking a small area of her area.
"So what are you going to do now?"
Liu Yuxue held her forehead with her hands in pain. She always thought that her parents were just unlucky and met bandits and killed them. Unexpectedly, the mastermind behind this was actually her closest relative.
When her father was still alive, he was the best to his only sister. Even after making money, he brought his sister's family to Xunyang County to settle down.
Liu Yuxue clenched her fists tightly, her black hair covering her face, and after a moment she said in a hoarse voice: "Yao Yao, I want revenge."
