Chapter 34: Be a Man or a Ghost

Sun rushed forward and pulled Mrs. Xu San away. Xu Qinghuan stood up and brushed away the grass clippings on her body, stood a few steps away, and watched as Mrs. Xu San struggled like an enraged beast.

"He is just a rebel. When he approached you, he just wanted to survive," Xu Qinghuan said in an almost cold voice, "There is no true love in adversity in this world."

Mrs. Xu San was even more angry.

Xu Qinghuan said: "I think you have been a ghost for too long, let me teach you how to behave."

After saying this, she turned around and walked out of the cell.

Veins popped out on Mrs. Xu San's forehead, and all the hatred she had accumulated for many years rushed into her heart. She shouted at Xu Qinghuan's back, and a scene seemed to float in front of her eyes.

Zhao Shan was scolded, questioned, and beaten. The people of Fengxiang and the Cao family all rushed to bite him. He was originally tall, but he had to keep his head bent because of humiliation, shame, and fear of attracting others.

Pay attention, so that the Yamen will check.

He suffered so much torture, but he did not dare to cry out in pain. He was forbearing and desperate.

Everyone was like Xu Qinghuan, who ignored his pain and turned around and walked away so decisively. He was a sinner both as a human and as a ghost.

"Ah..." Mrs. Xu San's roar seemed to shake the entire cell.



The Cao family saved the entire city when the rebels attacked Fengxiang.

Mr. Cao was not afraid of danger and led his men to burn all the food and grass in the city.

The old people who survived the Fengxiang battle still remember that scene, with the firelight shining on their faces, and they would rather burn all the food than leave any grain for the rebels.

In the raging fire, the sound of "beep" of food gave them fighting spirit. There was no way out. Only by fighting could they survive.

He must die cleanly and heroically. Anyone who mentions Fengxiang must be in awe.

The rebels shouldn't mess with Fengxiang people like them.

This integrity and this way of life were given to them by the Cao family, so every time they saw the tall archway, they would be happy and shed tears for Mr. Cao for the dead.

But suddenly one day, they discovered that everything might be false. The Cao family had something to do with the rebels. No wonder the Cao family's female relatives survived back then. There was something hidden in this.

"This is really a big disaster," Mrs. Cao said, sobbing and sobbing, as her body was covered with sour water and she was doused by someone as soon as she went out. "These people came to the door again before the master came back."

, I have long said that she is a disaster. If all these things had been dealt with back then, there would be no chance of what we are experiencing today."

Mrs. Cao lowered her eyes and turned the beads in her hand a little faster than usual.

What the Cao family was worried about still happened, but it was more than ten years late.

Before Old Mrs. Cao could speak, she heard a loud noise, and then the Cao family's steward stumbled in: "Old Mrs., it's bad, those people broke in with the memorial tablet."

Those were all those who died in the Battle of Fengxiang.

The memorial tablets were placed one by one in the Cao family's yard, like ghosts standing silently, waiting for a satisfactory answer from the Cao family.

You are not afraid of death, but you cannot die in a state of confusion.

If the person causing trouble is the Cao family, they can fight it out. If it is an unfounded frame-up, the Cao family can ask the government. However, the Cao family has never seen such a scene and does not want to face it.

Mr. Cao Er hurried to the yard. Seeing such a scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster and his legs felt weak. He was afraid of being caught by those people and asked: "Why did your Cao family survive back then, but our relatives did not?"

Can live."

This is obviously his own home, but now he is like a thief, trying to sneak away, but when he turns around, he is held down by someone, and then his clothes are pulled open with a "stab".

Two strangers stood before him.

One of them said with a ferocious smile: "Second Master, let us see your injuries!"

Mr. Cao Er could not refuse, because the two men then covered his mouth, tore off his clothes, and exposed his injured arm in front of them.

The wound has scabbed over and is not as serious as it looks.

"The injury is very minor," one of them sneered, stretched out his hand and grabbed the wound hard, and immediately opened the blood scab, and strings of blood beads emerged from the pink tender flesh, and then he

He pressed it with his rough fingers and rubbed it helplessly.

Mr. Cao Er's eyes widened in extreme pain, and he broke out in cold sweat.

"Are you comfortable? Tell us where the money is? Blood-stained money is hard to spend. How did the brothers handle it for you?"

Mr. Cao Er wanted to shout, but something was stuffed into his mouth. He wanted to spit it out, but someone grabbed the back of his neck, and the thing slipped into his throat with a grunt.

The man said coldly: "You just took the poison from our village. If you don't have an antidote within three days, you will definitely die. You should think carefully about whether life or money is more important. When we come next time, if the money is not ready,

All we can do is take your head back and hand it over."

"No, no, I can't let you die too comfortably. I have to disembowel you. Then your life will be attributed to the murderer."

The cold blade passed through Mr. Cao Er's chest.

Mr. Cao Er knew that they were talking about the people who killed Ruwan. They died in the same manner, so the Yamen would naturally treat it as a case. These people had already thought of a way out, so they would act so unscrupulously.

The two of them let go of their hands, and Mr. Cao fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

"Bah!" A mouthful of thick phlegm was spat on Mr. Cao Er's face.

"You still think the Cao family is some kind of good guy, but it turns out they are evil-hearted."

It took a long time for Mr. Cao Er to make a sound and wanted someone to rescue him. Unfortunately, the Cao family was in chaos and no one heard his cry for help.

Mr. Cao San broke into Mrs. Cao's room: "Didn't my mother say that she would not mention Zhao Shan, let alone admit that Zhao Shan was a rebel? Because in this case, Sister Zhen would be charged more."

Mrs. Cao said in a deep voice: "She dare not say."

Mr. Cao San said excitedly: "Who said that? Who told the story about the rebels? Now they all accuse us of collaborating with the enemy."

"How could they do this," Mrs. Cao San said in surprise, "our Cao family saved them, how could they be so ungrateful?"

Master Cao San looked angry: "They actually asked us why we could avoid the rebels' search and find the secret passage where we were hiding. I took them to see the secret passage. They also asked why since the secret passage was so safe.

We have to escape again. There were rebels stationed in Cao's house back then. How could we get out from under the rebels' noses? How could we avoid the rebel patrols and reach the city gate after we walked out."

The reason why he escaped the rebel search was because of Zhao Shan.

The secret passage had been discovered, and Zhao Shan killed the rebels who found them and rescued them.

Zhao Shan knew the movements of the rebels, so he helped them avoid rebel patrols.

Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan are all him, but Zhao Shan cannot be mentioned.

Mr. Cao San suddenly remembered the hands that Zhao Shan held him. If Zhao Shan had not been brave, he would not have killed all the rebels after they discovered the secret passage. However, when they tied Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan did not struggle at all.

If Zhao Shan was really the one who hid the money, why didn't he run away instead of telling them the past over and over again? There was nothing in Zhao Shan's words that could make people suspicious.

Zhao Shan was wrongly accused. This thought flashed through his mind. He wanted to argue for Zhao Shan, but in the situation at that time, he was afraid that the people around him would also point the finger at him, so he backed down.

"It's all your fault," Master Cao San pointed at the people in the room, "If you had believed Zhao Shan and reported this matter to the Yamen, with Su Huai's character, you would have found out the truth, and we would have been fine.

Now that Zhao Shan is dead, we can’t tell you how many mouths we have grown..."

"Uncle Third, it's wrong to say that," Mrs. Cao sneered, "What happened back then was decided by everyone together, but now you are putting all the blame on us. If you die, everyone will have to die together, and you can't escape."

"You are the cruelest," Master Cao San said ferociously, "you still want to kill those two children."

"It's the eldest sister who pinched Brother Ye," Mrs. Cao said contemptuously. "I thought she was kind-hearted and made so many clothes for Brother Ye. At that juncture, she stretched out her hand without saying a word.

Later, she pretended to be afraid and asked me to burn Brother Ye's things. After she gave birth to Qingshu, I kindly made a pair of tiger-head shoes for Qingshu, but she said that those shoes were made for Brother Ye.

, I was deliberately scaring her.

All of you have lived comfortably these years, but Sister Zhen was left in my room. Looking at Sister Zhen every day, I can remember what happened that night. Now that you are blaming me, you deserve it."

"Don't mention Sister Zhen," Mrs. Cao Er interrupted Mrs. Cao, "Don't you know what kind of life Sister Zhen is living? I am the only one in this family who treats Sister Zhen as my own daughter.

There is also the matter of Sister Wan. After thinking about it, I finally understand why the murderer was able to enter the Cao family so smoothly. It was a joint effort between you and the eldest sister. They wanted to kidnap Sister Zhen and put the blame on Xu Qingan and An Yihou.

If something goes wrong in the house, you will be able to make a contribution in front of Uncle Guo, and Ruwan will be able to successfully marry into the Zhang family, but she did not expect to harm her own daughter."

"You are talking nonsense." Mrs. Cao was about to step forward to catch Mrs. Cao.

At this moment, Mrs. Cao San suddenly exclaimed, and the brocade box in her hand fell to the ground. A bloody thing rolled out of the brocade box, which was an ear.

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in surprise. Before they could recover, Mr. Cao Er walked in the door with his arms covered and his face pale.

"Mother," Mr. Cao Er's voice trembled, "please prepare some money. If they don't see the money, they will kill me."
