Mrs. Yuan walked back and forth at the door of the house, holding her hands tightly together.
"What are you doing?"
Old Mrs. Fang's voice came from the front of the hall.
Mrs. Yuan was so frightened that she hurriedly walked over cautiously.
"No, it's nothing." She stammered.
The Fang family only has two aunts, so I didn't expect that the murderer who most murdered the Fang family's children would be the Su family.
Honest Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su who never has any desires or demands.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it.
If I had to say it was one of the two aunts.
"Then the murderer should be me." Yuan thought and sighed.
Old Mrs. Fang glared at her.
"You? Stop being so sentimental. You are a person who only wants to live a good life for yourself. Even if you are a bad guy, no one will trust you. When the time comes, there is no need to use coercion or inducement. You will seek profit first and forget your own good." She said.
Yuanshi sneered.
"Old lady, are you praising me or mocking me?" she said with an apologetic smile.
Old Mrs. Fang ignored her and continued to read the letter in her hand, with a somewhat worried look in her eyes.
This was the first time he looked worried since he solved the Su family.
This is certainly not about feeling sad and disappointed because someone close to you has betrayed you.
When it comes to being betrayed by someone close to her, Mrs. Fang experienced it more than ten years ago.
"Is this really okay?" Mrs. Fang murmured, "won't all our efforts be wasted?"
Yuan immediately came forward with a worried look on his face.
"Yes, yes, can Madam go alone? Besides, we just caught the man, why don't we let the young master hide for another two days and come back after the house is cleaned up," she said.
Old Mrs. Fang snorted.
"You think well," she said. "Sure enough, we should bring them back so that all those monsters and monsters can pop out and clean them up in one go. Are you happy?"
Although it is now said that Su is the mastermind, the number of accomplices has not yet been fully investigated.
He has always been close to the Su family, and although he has not been arrested now, he might still be the number one suspect in the hearts of the old lady and the eldest lady.
Mrs. Yuan was embarrassed again, not daring to speak anymore. She looked at Old Mrs. Fang shaking the letter in her hand and throwing it into the incense burner.
I don’t know what I’m reading and who wrote it. It seems like the old lady arranged the actions according to the letter?
While Yuan was thinking wildly, a nurse came in quickly from outside the door.
Mrs. Yuan hurriedly took a few steps back and watched the nurse whisper a few words in Old Mrs. Fang's ear. Old Mrs. Fang smiled sneer and stood up.
"Let's go." She said and walked out quickly.
……………………………………………………
When I saw the house in front of me, it was already dark, and Mrs. Fang's carriage and horses were guarding the yard with torches lit up.
"Madam, we're here." The nurse whispered.
Mrs. Fang raised the car curtain and looked around.
"I'm not going in, just take it out and leave." She whispered.
The guards responded, and the carriage stopped in front of the house, knocking on the door three times, accompanied by three cuckoo calls. After a while, the door of the small house opened, and two lanterns floated in the darkness, illuminating a stretcher.
Another man with a slender figure and his whole body wrapped in a cloak followed closely.
The group of people quickly got into the car and drove away in the dark night.
The only sound on the quiet and remote mountain road was the sound of horse hooves, and the increasingly intense darkness made a few torches appear dimmer.
A little light suddenly lit up in front, like stars falling to the ground, or like dry grass being set on fire.
The guard walking in the front reined in his horse and raised his hand behind him. The carriage and horses stopped, and the guards looked around cautiously.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Fang leaned out of the car and asked in a low voice.
"Madam, there seems to be someone." The guard whispered.
Mrs. Fang tightened her hands, and the sound of horse hooves sounded in front of her.
"Da Lang's wife." Accompanied by an old voice.
Mrs. Fang sat in front of the car and stopped the guards from stopping her.
A group of more than a dozen people appeared in the night, and the bright torches in their hands illuminated the place like daylight.
"Uncle Song." She shouted, looking at the old man walking in front of her at night, a little surprised and a little nervous, "Why are you here?"
The guards around the carriage were also inexplicably nervous, looking at these people with wary expressions.
Shopkeeper Song didn't smile at all while riding on his horse.
"I know everything about the family," he said, looking at Mrs. Fang's carriage, "Is Chengyu okay?"
Of course she would tell him about family matters, and the old lady Fang must have entrusted him with such a big matter.
Mrs. Fang nodded.
"It's okay," she said.
Shopkeeper Song did not come forward to see Chengyu.
"Don't go home yet. Let's stay at the house for a few days and then talk about it." He said.
Mrs. Fang nodded.
"That's exactly what it's like, the house is ready," she said.
Shopkeeper Song nodded.
"Okay, let's go over there quickly, get Chengyu settled first, and then talk about other things when we get back," he said.
Mrs. Fang Da responded and sat back in the car, urging the horse forward first. Shopkeeper Song Da led people to spread out to escort them left and right.
Because there were more people and torches, the car was also illuminated brightly. It illuminated Mrs. Fang's face, which flickered in and out. She had a complicated expression, as if she wanted to cry but also seemed to be resentful. Soon the car and horses stopped again.
"Madam is here," the guard outside the door said.
Mrs. Fang concealed her expression, raised the curtain and got out of the car.
This is a small house located at the outermost edge of the village. In the quiet night, the arrival of their group caused dogs in the village to bark one after another.
Mrs. Fang got out of the car and watched the guards unlock the door, which was covered with a thick layer of dust.
"To keep things confidential, they are all temporarily rented houses." She explained in a low voice to shopkeeper Song who came over.
Shopkeeper Song nodded and said nothing.
Mrs. Fang watched the carriage and horses being moved, and hurriedly stepped forward to follow them into the yard.
"Go and clean up the house and light the lamps." Mrs. Fang said to the guards, then looked at the guards standing in front of the car, "Be careful."
These guards were going to carry Fang Chengyu out of the car, and the woman wrapped in a cloak had already gotten off first.
The crowd in front of the carriage was a bit chaotic.
Mrs. Fang thought of something and looked out the door.
Shopkeeper Song was still standing outside the door.
"Second uncle, come in quickly." Mrs. Fang said, casually asking, "Does mother have any other instructions?"
Shopkeeper Song nodded.
"Sister-in-law said..." he said, raising his hand and waving, "Go to hell."
What?
Mrs. Fang was stunned when she saw Shopkeeper Song's guards standing outside the door suddenly taking out their bows and arrows and lighting the arrows on the torches.
"Be careful, madam." the guards shouted, blocking Mrs. Fang and retreating.
The sound of sharp arrows was heard in the yard.
However, these arrows were not aimed at Mrs. Fang, but were all shot at the carriage.
The people beside the carriage had already fled away, and only the carriage was set on fire with a roar.
There was also Fang Chengyu in the carriage.
But there was no sound of Mrs. Fang’s painful cries in the yard.
Pushing aside the guard who was covering her, Mrs. Fang looked at Shopkeeper Song outside the door with an angry look on her face.
"Second uncle!" she shouted, with tears in her voice, "what do you want to do?"
Shopkeeper Song's expression was as solemn as ever.
"What do I want to do? Then what do you want to do? Lead me here and hack me to death?" he said, "Am I already an old fool in your eyes?"
After saying this, he raised his hand again.
Accompanied by his voice, stars appeared again in the dark night, and more guards seemed to emerge from the ground, swarming in with bows and arrows aimed at the small courtyard.
"Will this trick of catching a turtle in an urn work for me?" Shopkeeper Song stood among them, looking angry and sarcastic, "I'm not a fool."
Accompanied by his shout, countless flaming arrows once again rushed toward the house like meteors.
Mrs. Fang let out a scream and was protected by the guards again. Fortunately, this time the rocket was still not aimed at her.
The simple house was set on fire by rockets, and more than a dozen guards hiding inside jumped out, equipped with swords, guns, clubs and shields, and tightly protected Mrs. Fang.
