Xu Qinghuan opened the curtain and saw the immortal Zhang Zhenren. Next to Zhang Zhenren was the pale Xu Qingshu.
Feng Chu said softly: "Whose bun is this guy going to steal again?"
From then on, Zhang Zhenren was regarded as a gangster who snatched buns in Feng Chu's heart. Although his identity was slightly different from Zhang Zhenren's identity as a liar, it was not much different.
Zhang Zhenren's appearance at this moment proves that he is here for this case.
When Xu Qinghuan thought of this, he immediately opened the curtain a little more and looked around.
Thinking of the figure she glanced at in the crowd last time, she always felt that that person was also nearby.
If the teahouse was just suspicious last time, now that she saw Master Zhang and Mr. Xu Er together, she was already sure that that man had intervened in Fengxiang's case.
Is he the one who is hiding behind the scenes and manipulating everything secretly?
Xu Qinghuan felt a little more alert.
This man was treacherous, cunning, vicious, and extremely meticulous in his actions. Although even the Queen Mother hated him deeply, she could only give in to him.
When she was held hostage in the capital, she secretly dealt with him several times and almost couldn't escape.
I didn't expect to meet him so early.
Now that Zhang Zhenren is allowed to enter the Xu family, what is he going to do next? After all, that person is younger than Li Xu. It must not be him who secretly hid the money with the rebels more than ten years ago, but it cannot be
Excluding the fact that there are no remnants of the rebels around him now.
Inferring from this, did he come to Fengxiang also for the tax money?
"Little girl," Zhang Zhenren's voice suddenly sounded, "Pindao is only helping people who are destined to be in trouble. You should not have any evil thoughts towards Pindao."
Xu Qinghuan said: "The Taoist Priest must be careful."
Zhang Zhenren couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is this?"
Xu Qinghuan lowered the curtain and the carriage drove forward slowly.
"I believe Taoist Master is not in good luck, and there will be disaster in the future."
A word came faintly from the carriage.
Master Zhang shrank his neck and raised his head to look at the sky, as if there was a lump of bird droppings sitting on top of his head.
Bad luck.
His words were supposed to be full of mystery, but she got the better of him.
This female doll.
Master Zhang smacked his lips. He had a bad feeling, as if he would fall into her hands in this life.
…
The atmosphere in the Xu family is not much better than that in the Cao family.
One of the two Cao family members died and the other went to jail. Mr. Xu San was also taken away for interrogation. When Mrs. Xu heard the news, she fainted there.
Although Mrs. Xu Er made mistakes before, now that she is gone, everything can no longer be pursued.
After Mr. Xu Er informed the elders of the clan, he began to arrange the funeral.
The husband and wife have been together for many years. Although Mr. Xu Er tried his best to hide it, a sad look could still be seen on his face, as if he would collapse at any time.
"If I had known earlier, I should have taken her home."
"Who would have thought that my own sister would commit such a murderous act."
Mr. Xu Er stood in the main room and personally greeted the guests. By the end, he was faltering as if he had no strength at all.
Meng Lingyun reported this to Xu Qinghuan: "It doesn't seem to be anything special. Master Zhang is just doing things outside."
Xu Qing'an also couldn't guess: "Maybe the guy named Li Xu is just talking nonsense, and the tax money has nothing to do with this case." The same goes for that bastard, he just cheated some money.
Just when he went out, he was yelled at by the old Taoist. He almost stopped and asked the old Taoist to tell his fortune.
That old man was so mean that as long as he had two pieces of shortbread, he could end a life-long matter for him.
It made him feel itchy, as if if he didn't take advantage today, he would have no chance tomorrow.
"I still want to go to Shitou's house." Xu Qinghuan stood up and told Feng Chu to get ready. She wanted to confirm that her guess was correct.
As soon as he walked out of the house, Xu Qinghuan saw Cao Ruzhen.
"Can you take me with you?" Cao Ruzhen tried to smile, "I haven't met my brother yet."
Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Okay."
…
In the small courtyard where Shitou lives.
Xu Qinghuan looked at several rooms again. The officials had taken away most of the things, and the room seemed a little empty.
Just thinking about this man who brutally killed Cao Ruwan with a sharp knife, Xu Qingan gripped the hilt of the sword tighter. No matter who it was, as long as it was detrimental to his sister, he had to get through him first.
His sister now likes to go to such dark places, so he has to find ways to learn boxing and kicking to protect her.
Xu Qing'an looked at Xu Qinghuan suspiciously. Could it be that his sister wanted to use this method to urge him to make progress?
That was really well-intentioned, and Xu Qingan couldn't help but be moved in his heart.
Xu Qinghuan walked into the woodshed again, where the woman was hanged. Just like what she had seen before, there was nothing unusual here.
The chopped firewood was placed in piles, looking very neat.
"Brother, what kind of person do you think killed Ruwan?"
Xu Qing'an said: "He is a ruthless murderer."
Cao Ruzhen bravely walked into the house and lowered her head silently when she heard these words.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "What do people who know Shitou say about him?"
Xu Qing'an looked at Cao Ruzhen, pursed his lips and said: "He is taller than ordinary people. His voice is bad and he can't speak. He always hesitates at others. He looks a little fierce. He is young but kills livestock.
He is a good hand, he has only opened a butcher shop for two years, and he has become quite famous around here."
Xu Qinghuan said: "Sister Ruzhen is also taller than us."
Cao Ruzhen's lips trembled, not knowing what to say.
Xu Qinghuan said: "How did the people around me talk when they heard that someone died here?"
Meng Lingyun knew about this, but because Cao Ruzhen was beside him, he hesitated for a long time before speaking: "They say it was the stone that killed him. The stone is usually not easy to mess with."
Xu Qinghuan said calmly: "In this way, Shitou is a cruel, unkind, irritable and irritable person. It is not surprising that such a person has evil intentions and commits crimes."
Cao Ruzhen's tears fell.
"However, don't you find something strange?" Xu Qinghuan pointed to the door, "This firewood shed has just been repaired. It looks simple but very strong. There is a short firewood pile here. Look at the traces left by the firewood.
It can be seen that this short firewood pile has been placed like this all year round.
Why would he do this?"
Xu Qingan shook his head.
Xu Qinghuan stretched out his hand, and his arm happened to directly touch the short stack of firewood: "The woman who was hanged is not much taller than me. If she stood here, it would be easy to get the firewood.
When Mrs. Chang and Wu Zuo performed the autopsy together, they examined the woman's palms. Although the palms were a little rough, they did not have too many calluses. This proved that the woman had not done too much heavy work in recent years.
The firewood, the fields in the backyard, and the daily slaughtering and tidying up of livestock should all be made of stone.
Not only did he do these tasks, he also knew how to think about women, which shows that he is not only attentive but also good at taking care of people."
Cao Ruzhen opened her mouth in surprise.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Don't you think it's strange why such two completely opposite inferences appear on the same person?
Many people like to follow what others say, and they will exaggerate when they hear some news. Even the officials handling the case will often be deceived by superficial things.
Not all murderers look tall and fierce, and those who can kill livestock may not necessarily dare to kill people. I believe Shitou did not kill Ruwan."
"What did you say?" Cao Ruzhen said tremblingly.
"I said," Xu Qinghuan's voice was clear, "your brother did not kill Cao Ruwan, he was wrongly accused."
In addition to these, there is another reason, that is, it was Cao Ruzhen who died in the previous life, and Shitou would not kill his biological sister.
