Ever since her sister was born, she had never felt at ease. She thought that after Fengxiang was in chaos, she would be completely free of this scourge, but she didn't expect that things would take a turn for the worse when Xu Laosan came to ask for his sister's hand in marriage.
Both she and her brothers felt that her sister should not leave the Cao family and must live under their eyes. However, her mother was still reluctant to let her sister die alone, so she persuaded her to help her sister. The Xu family was not just a sideline, it was always under her control.
Being within the range can be regarded as giving my sister a way to survive.
But she felt that there must be something fishy in this. A person who wanted to die suddenly thought of it and was willing to remarry Xu Laosan, who had a broken leg. This was obviously a stopgap measure. But her mother had made a decision, and she could only abide by it. She
Eyeliners and hands were deployed in Xu San's yard, watching her sister's every move. Perhaps it was because her sister had not been able to leave the nunnery all these years and had only half a breath left to live that she relaxed her vigilance.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, her sister seized the opportunity and stabbed her severely.
Mrs. Xu Er gritted her teeth: "Your grandmother was so indulgent that she raised such a shameless thing. If it hadn't been for her, where would the trouble have come from? I kindly took her in and sheltered her from the wind."
Yu, instead of being grateful, she came to harm me, so she was not afraid of retribution. If I had known what happened, I would have watched her die back then..."
Xu Qingshu heard the connotation of the words: "What does mother mean by this?"
"It's none of your business," said Mrs. Xu Er, trembling all over. "Get me a car. I want to go back to see your grandmother and ask them why they did this to me."
"They are already here," Xu Qing wrote, "Grandma, uncle, and aunt are all here."
Mrs. Xu Er's heart felt cold. Wouldn't it embarrass her if they came to the door at this time? Since she couldn't escape, she knew she would go on: "Okay... I'll go see them."
…
"This doesn't give anyone a way to survive. The Yamen will come to the door every three days to find out when it will be over."
"The ones who died were women from high-ranking families. If it were us... how could the Yamen be so attentive?"
"Don't talk about it. The beautiful young lady died miserably. You can smell the blood even from a distance. The Yamen mobilized all their hands this time and surrounded the area around Cao's house. Normally,
Those idle people are helping the government officials to get information from everywhere."
"Don't talk about the status of the Cao family. The new magistrate is coming soon. Everyone in the yamen is still scrambling to express their merits. Whoever catches the murderer will have a great achievement, and the person who provides the information will also get a reward."
"I don't know when the murderer will be caught."
"Maybe there is no murderer at all. People say that Mr. Cao became a evil spirit because of his excessive resentment. This is just the beginning... The Cao family will never have a good life from now on."
"What nonsense are you talking about... Mr. Cao is our great benefactor to Fengxiang."
"No more, no more, it's none of our business."
The lights went out, and a dark figure came out of the corner. He raised his head and looked at the sky above his head. The dark clouds and closed moon tonight can hide his figure better. It is the best time to leave here, as long as he puts on his bodyguard.
Poor clothes will not arouse suspicion when walking in the streets and alleys. Of course, you cannot meet real government officials, otherwise you will be seen. Fortunately, the court got the news and went to investigate Cao's Zhuangzi and transferred nearby people.
He can escape if he is more careful.
He walked easily on this road, and the surroundings were silent. Occasionally, there was only a barking dog or a meowing cat. After a muffled thunder, raindrops began to fall, and the yamen who patrolled the city would slack off when it rained.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and all of them were taken advantage of.
Some people hurried out of the house to collect their clothes, and some complained about the weather, but no one noticed them.
A smile couldn't help but appear on his face.
But he didn't notice that there were several figures in the corner, ready to go.
Finally, the rain started to fall more rapidly, and just as he was about to speed up his pace, those people rushed toward him.
The sword was unsheathed, and without giving him any more time to prepare, the chase and confrontation had officially begun.
In the courtyard facing this street, Feng Chu slowly opened the door until she saw the government torches were on and the government officials took the upper hand. Feng Chu felt satisfied and thought of reporting the news to her own lady, so
He hurriedly walked to Xu Qinghuan and said, "Miss, the fight is about to begin."
Xu Qing'an couldn't help but shake his head. He was about to get cold when Feng Chu reported the news: "We can hear it."
"Your Majesty, your eyesight is not good."
Unintentionally quarreling with Feng Chu, Xu Qing'an nervously guarded his sister, staring at the door, fearing that the murderer would rush over and harm his sister.
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "It's okay, he doesn't know we are here."
Xu Qing'an still can't believe it: "How do you know he hasn't left Fengxiang yet?" His sister is so smart that she followed her mother.
Xu Qinghuan said: "If everything develops according to their plan, all the government officials will go out of the city to hunt for their brother, so they did not prepare to escape after committing the crime, but they did not expect that something went wrong in the middle. The brother was quickly freed from the crime, and the government closed the city gates to look for another person.
The murderer has police officers watching him in the streets and alleys, so he naturally cannot escape."
The reason why he didn't save his brother in his previous life was because their plan was carried out too smoothly and everything was under control. Naturally, it would be difficult to reveal the truth. If Li Xu hadn't been implicated in his father's crime and helped, I'm afraid Mr. Xu Er wouldn't have known how to do it.
Tell the truth.
It's different now. Although her intervention didn't make the murderer stop, it did make everything go astray. As long as you start from this deviation, you can gain something.
While she asked Mrs. Xu San to go to the Cao family to reveal the truth, she also asked people to go to the Yamen to find Sun Chong and tell them that there was progress in the case.
Sun Chong, the promoter, is a selfless person, and his thoughts are entirely focused on tracking down the murderer. Even if the evidence is insufficient, he is willing to mobilize manpower to give it a try.
The assailant was still struggling, but his arm had already been grabbed by the government officials. He roared and swung it hard, and one of the government officials happened to open the door and fell into the yard.
However, the situation is finally over.
Aiming the crossbow in the direction of the murderer, Sun Chong pushed aside the crowd and walked out.
Under the firelight, the murderer's eyes flashed with panic, but in an instant he turned into a calm man. With a life on his hands, the result would be the same if he was caught. He turned his palm to reveal the sharp blade in his palm, preparing to give himself a good blow.
.
"Hold him."
Sun Chong gave an order, and almost at the same time stretched out his hand to hold the murderer's wrist, and hit him on the jaw.
The sharp knife in the murderer's hand fell to the ground, and a rope tied him tightly.
Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head and looked at the figures in front of the open door. One of them was petite, and she was the eldest lady of the Anyi Hou family.
Li Xu had explained to him beforehand, and he also knew that this eldest lady would definitely do something.
Sending messages, giving ideas, and arranging such a situation were not enough. She appeared here again with her people. I am afraid that even Li Xu did not expect that Miss Xu would act so boldly.
"Master Sun, it's not over yet!" Xu Qinghuan promptly reminded, "There are still people waiting for you to catch."
Sun Chong swallowed and nodded. Why did he have to meet all the smart people in this world? One of them didn't hurt him enough, and now another one came, making him feel like he had become nothing more than a meal.
After this incident, it is better to stay away from them.
"Let's go," Sun Chong shouted, "go to Mr. Tan's house."
If this evil slave is captured, it will be difficult for Master Xu Er and his family to escape.
…
Xu family.
The main hall was right in front of her, and Mrs. Xu Er ordered her servants: "You go there first."
She could relax better by avoiding everyone. She was about to take a long breath, but a hand stretched out from behind her and covered his mouth firmly.
The fear of death suddenly spread throughout her body.
"You can't escape." A cold voice sounded from behind her.
