It was afternoon, and the atmosphere in the Su family's mansion was complicated and tense. The yard where Uncle Su lived seemed a little quiet, but people were gathering inside and outside. Occasionally, the door would open, and someone would bring hot water or go in.
Bring out some blood.
In the living room next to it, the old lady Su Yu sat silently leaning on his crutches. Next to him were several old men from the side branch, Su Zhongkan and Su Yunfang in the yard outside the door.
Su Tan'er was sitting a little closer to the door with her mother, two aunts, and Ning Yi. Her mother and two aunts were crying quietly, and Myolie, Juan'er, and Chan'er behind her were also wiping their tears.
However, except for the fact that Su Tan'er had been crying at the beginning of the incident, she wiped it off at this time and did not cry again. Her sitting posture seemed to be no different from usual, but her hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the chair, and her fingertips were
With white eyes and red eyes, he looked coldly, waiting for the next news, whether it was his father's or the captured murderer.
When she just came back here, her hands were full of blood and her body was splashed with spots. If Ning Yi hadn't ordered Chan'er to get water and wash her hands, her hands would still be blood red at this time.
However, the blood-stained clothes on her body have not been changed, and her hair is a little messy. She is still calm and sober. There is not much that Ning Yi can do. At this time, he can only wait and see what happens.
The people in the yard are all relatives who are close to the third room of the Su family. If they leave the yard, those waiting for Tao Xi are probably whispering, discussing the possible outcome of the matter, the future development, and the third room of the Su family.
Pattern, etc.
The man who stabbed the well was caught on the spot, but he was not at the Su family at this time. Instead, he was taken to the Yamen by the policemen who followed." At this time, the Su family could only listen to the preliminary news from the Yamen.
Just pass it on.
Waiting in silence, no good news came from the people coming in and out of the bedroom. It was probably because the uncle was too seriously injured and was still being treated. Occasionally, someone came in from the yard and asked about the situation in a low voice. At a certain moment, at the door of the living room
There were people coming over there, talking in low voices, and several people looked into the hall. One of them was Su Wengui, who had just arrived. He turned his eyes, gritted his teeth, and walked through the door.
"Ning Yi, you were there at that time, but you couldn't take care of your uncle?"
A few days ago, everyone visited a brothel together, but now they have fallen out. The voice was low and short, filled with anger. Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, and Su Wengui suddenly walked over and grabbed Ning Yi's clothes angrily.
Pull him up." The next moment, Ning Yi grabbed his wrist and twisted it, pressing him against the pillar behind him with one hand.
"Let me go, you useless thing...,..." Su Wengui also knew not to make loud noises at this time and drank in a low voice. Ning Yi just tilted his head slightly and looked at him indifferently. In front of the living room "Bang"
"There was a sound." That was the sound of the cane hitting the ground. Old Mrs. Su stood up from there. His beard and hair were now white, but he still looked strong. He, who was usually kind, was obviously holding back his anger at this time.
The boy who was following him quickly tried to help him, but he pushed him away smoothly and came over slowly but steadily.
Seeing the old man approaching gradually, a hint of trickery flashed through Su Wengui's eyes: "Let me go... Third Grandpa, Third Grandpa, look at him..." He struggled a few times, and Ning Yi looked at it for a moment.
He sighed in his heart, let go of his hand, and ignored him. There were whispers outside, all watching this scene. Su Wengui staggered a few steps: "Ha, Third Grandpa, look at him." Then he turned around and looked
Seeing Su Yu staring at him, the old man looked angry and suddenly waved the crutch in his hand. Before Su Wengui finished speaking, with a pop, his face was bloody, and the crutch was waved mercilessly.
on his head.
"It's about time..." Ning Yi turned around, lowered his head and walked over to where he was sitting. He murmured something in his mouth. Su Wengui was beaten so hard that he almost staggered out of the hall from behind.
His feet stumbled on the threshold and fell to the ground. When he struggled to turn around, the skin on the left side of his face was already torn, and blood and half a tooth came out of his mouth. The old lady's crutches hit the ground and he came over step by step.
"It's about time..." The old man shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Put away your cleverness!"
In the situation like that just now, if Su Wengui came in and made a fuss, no matter whether it was justified or not, everyone would probably say something about the son-in-law being present at that time. But such a thing would not matter in the eyes of Ning Yi or Old Madam Su.
I don’t understand. In the competition between the three houses of the Su family, the old man wants stability. What he never wants to see is the quarrel between the brothers. The matter this time has not been finalized yet, but judging from the results, these two swords
It can directly bring down the entire big house. Who knows if the other two houses may be involved.
The matter is still undecided. The most urgent thing in the old man's mind at the moment is to prevent any form of internal strife in the Su family. Su Wengui is actually playing such a little trick here. This kind-hearted old man who has been for many years finally broke out. He slowly
He walked out of the threshold, glanced at the people whispering outside, and then sighed.
"It's irrelevant. It's okay. Don't crowd around in the yard. "...Go out and wait."
Su Yunfang in the crowd nodded and waved around. Many people in the yard began to go out one after another. The old man said again: "Carry Wen Gui out too." Then a boy came to help Su Wen Gui.
For Su Wengui's extreme stupidity, Ning Yi only thought it was ridiculous from the beginning. He was somewhat smart. He was even called a smart star by several peers. He didn't know where to use it at this time. He stood there and watched.
After two glances, he turned around and sat down. When he put his hand on the armrest, the other hand also covered him. Su Tan'er was still sitting there with her mouth pursed, but she just put her hand on the back of his hand and held it tightly.
Her fingertips trembled slightly, and she turned her head to look at him. Ning Yi nodded, put her hand under his palm, and patted it gently.
Someone came out of the bedroom over there again. At this time, Su Yunfang was supporting the old lady in the corridor. The person came over to report a few words, which was probably similar to the previous one. In fact, Ning Yi probably knew that this kind of injury was certain for several days in a row.
If you can't survive the danger of life, if there is any definite news now, it will probably be the worst news, but for the time being, you can only wait here.
The old man turned around and walked back with the support of Su Yunfang. When he passed by Yu Yi and Su Tan'er, he paused for a moment. He reached out and patted the hands of Ning Yi and Su Tan'er several times. His expression was complicated, and he finally just nodded and said.
He said: "You two, be nice." He turned around and walked over to his seat. After all, it wasn't time to explain anything yet...
After a while, one of the Su family stewards who went to the Yamen came back and reported the situation.
"...The criminal who injured the uncle is named Chen Er. It is said that he was originally from Jiayu, Ezhou. According to what he said, three years ago, my Su family opened a shop in Ezhou to acquire land, and hired local ruffians to drive his family out of their original address.
At that time, his mother died because of this, so he and his family moved to a low-lying area. It was also flooded this year. Because the ground was too low, his family had no time to escape. His wife and children all died because of the flood. So he went to Jiangning this time.
, when I saw the Su family, I suddenly had the intention to kill. This person...the talisman is clear, the lead is clear, and the Fang family speaks with an Ezhou accent..."
After the steward said this, he lowered his head and paused slightly: "But when we communicated with a few acquaintances in the government office, the joints could not be opened. Butler Chen said that the official mission went a bit fast at that time. At this time, we can't do anything.
Without access to Chen Er... I am afraid that someone has taken care of everything before us. Once the trial is officially opened in a few days, even if Chen Er is sentenced to death, I am afraid..."
Su Tan'er listened quietly here, her eyes unchanged, but her hands became harder and harder. There was a bang, and the old lady's crutch hit the ground. She spoke every word and gritted her teeth: "This matter is not just for
Boyong. Someone... wants to touch my Su family..."..."
Businessmen attach great importance to reputation, and reasons such as this that force people to lose their lives will be a heavy blow to the entire Su family once it is tried and passed on by someone who is interested.
This man not only stabbed someone and caused the situation in the third room of the Su family to tilt, but also took a bite out of the entire Su family. Su Yunfang had a gloomy face over there: "Xue family?"
Su Zhongkan shook his head: "It's hard to say."
The old man was silent for a moment: "Let's check again. Use all available connections to check Chen Er's background. In the city, outside the city, all the way to Ezhou, let the shopkeeper in charge of Ezhou find out whether this happened three years ago.
, the government also continued to fight back... He chose to attack after the city gate was closed, kill people, and bite back... This person's vicious methods and deep scheming are obvious. The life of our Su family is at stake now, and you must stabilize the situation. I
...I also need to prepare to visit some people..."
After saying this, the old man got up and went out on crutches: "If Boyong's injury is stable, send someone to tell me." Then he also comforted Su Tan'er's mother and two aunts. When he walked out of the threshold, he looked
After looking at the blood stains under the corridor for a long time, he tapped with his stick: "Don't indulge in such stupid things anymore."
After saying that, the old man went out with the help of the servant and the maid.
No matter how serious the injury is, it is impossible to continue resuscitating him. The treatment will eventually come to an end. Towards the evening, the doctor finally did his best.
"My uncle is still in a coma. He is afraid of danger these days. I don't know if he can get over this hurdle, but there is still hope. But... Madam, Miss, I still have to be mentally prepared, mainly for the knife in the back.
Injury to the back, even if the uncle can survive, I am afraid that his legs will be paralyzed from now on... If it is just the legs, I am afraid that is the best situation..."
After saying this, Su Tan'er's mother suddenly shook, and then fainted.
The setting sun burned magnificent clouds on the horizon, and the entire Su Mansion was already in motion. As for some people in the courtyard here were surprised, some were crying, and some were fainting. At this time, in this big and busy house,
It’s nothing more than a small thing…
More, more complex, and more dangerous things may be waiting in the night ahead...
