Xu Qinghuan didn't want to say anything else, the woman's expression said everything.
Suddenly the sound of children crying came from the yard, and the woman looked even more panicked.
"Uncle Lei."
Xu Qinghuan shouted, and the woman felt a pain in her wrist, and then her whole body was pressed to the ground unable to move. When she opened her eyes again, the gentle and polite girl who was standing at the door had already walked in with someone, and her yard
The door was also closed and bolted again.
"Who?"
Hearing the noise outside, two burly men came out almost immediately. The two men were also pushed to the ground by Uncle Lei. Xu Qing'an picked up the rope and tied several of them tightly.
"There are two more in the kitchen."
Almost without making any sound, two young women were also brought over.
The woman and her family were wondering what happened when they heard the girl's clear voice.
“It’s easy to start work if the whole family is here together.”
The voice sounded nice, but the words it said were frightening. The woman began to think that this girl was probably the perpetrator of the suffering, and found her through Lin Sanniang. If anyone got hold of her, their whole family would be imprisoned, but she could
The girl who came down did not act like a serious person.
There was no reasoning with her, no verification, but just tying them all up.
The woman thought of what happened to Lin Sanniang, and had a bad feeling in her heart. These people in front of her were probably the murderers of Lin Sanniang's family. Thinking of this, the woman began to tremble, and a huge fear overwhelmed her whole body.
Xu Qinghuan took out a delicate dagger and placed it on the table. His eyes passed over several people on the ground and finally returned to the woman: "You have been widowed for many years. Those are your two sons and daughter-in-law, right? What should I call you? Or?
Let’s call you Aunt Wu!”
Cold sweat dripped down Aunt Wu's forehead. She wanted to say something, but her mouth was blocked by a piece of cloth, so she could only make a sound of "wuwu".
"Don't waste your efforts, no one will hear you," Xu Qinghuan said calmly, "Your family lives in a remote place, there are no other people around, and your two sons usually have a fierce look. No one wants to interact with your family.
If you don’t make a sound, even if you shout, no one will pay attention.”
At this point, the woman's two sons really tried their best to break free. Their faces turned red, and the veins on their necks and foreheads popped out, but the ropes tied to them did not move at all.
Uncle Lei sat leisurely aside, wiping a wooden stick in his hand with a cloth, turning a deaf ear to all this. He let Wu Da and Wu Er toss him without even looking at it.
Finally, Wu Da and Wu Er no longer had the strength, and this time the two fierce men also had panic expressions on their faces.
"Okay," Xu Qinghuan said, "Now let's get down to business. If you tell the truth, I will let you go. If you don't tell the truth, I will kill you. Isn't this fair?"
Now Aunt Wu can be sure that the person in front of her is the murderer of Lin Sanniang. They tortured Lin Sanniang to no avail. Now they have found her head. If she doesn't tell, she will end up with the same fate as Lin Sanniang.
If the government catches her doing something like this, she will be punished as a traitor. According to Dazhou law, it is a capital crime. If she does such a thing, she will not be able to admit it even if she is caught and dies.
But the person in front of her was the murderer, not the boss of the government office. The murderer would not tell her about the laws and rules. If she didn't tell her, the whole family would not survive. Not only that, I heard that Lin Sanniang was beaten to pieces, and just thinking about it
This made Aunt Wu even more panicked.
"Then let's try."
As soon as Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, Uncle Lei stepped forward and took out the strip of cloth from Lin Sanniang's mouth.
Lin Sanniang rolled her eyes and was about to shout loudly, but her mouth was immediately blocked again.
"You don't follow the rules."
Xu Qinghuan immediately looked at the young woman in the corner. Feng Chu stepped forward and picked up the woman. The woman was so frightened that she let Feng Chu drag her out of the door.
Aunt Wu saw the girl who had spoken before and followed her out. Then there was a "thud" sound outside, as if something had fallen.
Then the girl came back again. The dagger in her hand was full of blood, her dress was also spattered with blood stains, and there were even blood drops on her fair neck and cheeks, but the girl ignored it and remained as usual.
He looked at Aunt Wu without changing his expression: "Do you want to continue trying?"
Aunt Wu shook her head and kept shaking her head, and her whole body collapsed on the ground.
"Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know what you do. You, like Lin Sanniang, make a living by stealing people. You sell abducted children and women. There should be no one in those shady businesses in the market.
I know better than you."
The strip of cloth was taken out of Aunt Wu's mouth. This time she did not shout but hurriedly said: "Lin Sanniang went out to abduct people and came back, and then found buyers to sell them. All the good ones were given away by Lin Sanniang."
Go out and only throw to me what no one wants for the time being. Lin Sanniang said that this is all a human business. The women she sells are slaves that wealthy families don’t want. No one will hold them accountable. I...I am also obsessed with this.
Follow her and do this kind of thing."
Xu Qinghuan said nothing.
Aunt Wu was afraid that she would offend the people in front of her if she said too little, so she continued: "Lin Sanniang has been away from home for the past few years and no longer brings people to me. I tried to ask her, but she refused to do anything at first.
She said she told me once when she was drunk that she had been helping an employer to find people for the past few years. She had traveled all over Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang and Changzhou, but unfortunately she had found nothing so far. The employer was generous and I could help if I was willing.
She is looking for someone together, but there is only one thing: she is not allowed to mention this matter to anyone."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Do you know who she is looking for?"
Aunt Wu shook her head hurriedly: "I don't know... I really don't know. She only said that she was once a young lady from a wealthy family, but was kidnapped later. She spoke Mandarin, was good at poetry and songs, and had a red mole on the corner of her left eye.
, has been missing for many years, and should be around thirty years old now.
A young lady from a wealthy family who could speak Mandarin and was good at poetry and songs. Who would dare to abduct such a person? When I heard this, I just felt that Lin Sanniang was not telling the truth. I wanted to ask again, but Lin Sanniang refused to tell the truth.
"
After Aunt Wu said this, she remembered another thing: "Lin Sanniang said that it is not necessary to find this person, as long as the employer can get information about her, he will pay a large sum of money, even if the person is dead now."
Xu Qinghuan asked: "Did Sanniang Lin say when that person was abducted?"
Aunt Wu nodded: "It should have been more than ten years."
More than 30 years old, more than ten years ago.
Xu Qinghuan remembered one thing. Before the death of the eldest princess Huayang in her previous life, she killed several people in the eldest princess's mansion. Later, she heard that they were all human teeth.
The eldest princess has always been childless. I don’t know which alchemist gave her a folk prescription and asked her to eat children every month. Those people abducted and bought children for the eldest princess.
Although the prince-in-law tried his best to suppress such rumors, it had the opposite effect, and the eldest princess Huayang eventually became a ghost in the hearts of everyone.
So who is the employer looking for women?
She felt less and less like Wang Er. If Wang Er wanted to find out his life experience, he would never pay Lin Sanniang, who abducted him, a lot of money and let her run around. Moreover, Wang Er's biological mother was not a young lady from a wealthy family.
These are no match for Wang Er.
That man killed Lin Sanniang not to cover up Wang Er's life experience, but because he didn't want people to know who he was looking for.
On the contrary, the prince-in-law had been engaged to someone before Princess Shang, but unfortunately the woman who was engaged fell ill and died before the engagement, so the marriage between the prince-son-in-law and the eldest princess was completed.
