Mr. Cao Er cried like a child, and his robe was still stained with the filth he had just scratched his throat and spit out. He searched among those things over and over again, trying to find what the man forced him to swallow, but found nothing.
"I'm going to die." Mr. Cao Er didn't want to die.
But even if it's life or death, the Cao family can't care about him now. It should be said that no one can care about anyone.
Mrs. Cao kept her eyes on the bloody ear, and her hands kept shaking: "Whose is this? Whose is it?"
Mrs. Cao San's face was pale and she kept shaking her head: "Someone brought it in just now. I don't know. I just thought it was the jewelry that the master told me to buy outside. I touched the box and it was a little wet, so I took a look." She rubbed it desperately.
He pointed at his finger and saw that the wet thing was blood.
"We are all fine, but the master is outside. Could it be that he..." Mrs. Cao stared at Mr. Cao, "Where is your eldest brother? I didn't agree with you using tricks on Er Niang at that time. Now the thieves are all
After being led to the door, your elder brother doesn’t know what’s going on.”
"This is not necessarily my eldest brother's. What are you anxious about, sister-in-law? I... I am the one who is going to die now..." Mr. Cao Er's eyes widened and he looked at everyone angrily, "You don't care whether I live or die?
?Mother... there's no use leaving that money alone, why not... use part of it to buy your life."
He crawled to the feet of Mrs. Cao and put his face against the instep of Mrs. Cao: "Please save your son quickly. Your son cannot die, and he will die for you."
"Shut up, when you and the boss were planning this, why didn't you think of asking me for an idea?" Old Mrs. Cao looked at her second son with calm eyes. When faced with life or death, no matter how glamorous a person is,
They would all be in an unsightly state of embarrassment, not as good as Zhao Shan. Zhao Shan didn't say a word when he died. It was indeed a great event.
When she met Zhao Shan, she saw that he was tall and strong, so she knew that he had the ability to support her two mothers. Unfortunately, he accidentally joined the rebel army and was afraid that he would have to hide for the rest of his life, so she persuaded Zhao Shan to stay.
, to fight for his wife and children, how could her daughter live in darkness forever, so Zhao Shan agreed.
It's a pity that God failed to fulfill his wishes later.
Mr. Cao Er was wilted there, his face was ashen.
Old Mrs. Cao said: "The government has not found anything. Now there are just a few more people coming to the door. You are all so frightened. The prestige of our Cao family in Fengxiang is so high that we will not collapse just because of a few gossips."
Down."
These words shocked the Cao family.
Mr. Cao San stepped forward and helped Mrs. Cao up from the chair.
Old Mrs. Cao raised her head slightly, looking at the Cao family mansion with a pair of eyes without chaos, just like she had turned the tide more than ten years ago, and was about to speak.
The steward came again to report: "Old lady, Mrs. Su is here."
Mrs. Cao's eyes changed slightly.
More than ten years ago, when Su Huai was the magistrate of Fengxiang County, he often visited the Cao family. Although Mr. Cao had never been an official, he had learned a lot from his studies since he was a child. Su Huai would always come to ask for advice when he encountered difficulties, so the rebels attacked Fengxiang. The two of them
Defending the city regardless of life.
Su Huai survived and returned to Fengxiang to work. He also took good care of everyone in the Cao family. He once thought about promoting Mr. Cao, but it was a pity that the two people had different political views, so Su Huai gave up on this idea. Mr. Cao saw that Su Huai could not succeed, so he spent a lot of money.
He tried his best to get ahold of Uncle Guo and wanted to follow the path of the Zhang family.
When Su Huai was imprisoned, Mr. Cao was lucky that he didn't get too close to the Su family.
Now things have changed and Mrs. Su has come to visit. It goes without saying that it is related to the tax money.
Just like Mrs. Cao said, the Cao family is very prestigious in Fengxiang. Some minor disturbances cannot bring down the Cao family, but it would be different if the Su family came forward. Su Huai almost died defending the city, and then rebuilt it for Fengxiang.
After trying their best, the people knelt down and begged for mercy when he was thrown into prison. Even now, they still believe that Su Huai was wronged.
If the Su family is involved in this case, the Cao family will have met their natural enemy, because the Cao family is nothing compared to Mr. Su's prestige.
"Old lady," Mrs. Su said directly without saying much, "I just learned that our husband was imprisoned because of the tax money that was lost more than ten years ago. The court suspected that he had collaborated with the enemy and hid that money. What happened that year?"
What's going on? Just tell me."
Mrs. Cao frowned.
Mrs. Su had obviously come prepared. There were several people following her. One of them had a tall figure and a handsome face, especially his eyes, which were as clear as spring water. Standing there, it was difficult to ignore. Mrs. Cao had seen her before.
There are many grandchildren, but no one can compare to the one in front of me.
Mrs. Cao said: "Mr. Su was investigated by the court for corruption. How could it be related to the tax payment more than ten years ago? Even if we want to investigate what happened more than ten years ago, Madam should not come to our Cao family. Mr. Su was
We have not left Fengxiang even an inch, and if anyone knows who knows the situation best, it is Mr. Su."
Mrs. Su shook her head: "Back then, I dug three feet in Fengxiang and found no tax money. The only one who was not searched was the Cao family. Because the Cao family set up a ghost for Mr. Cao, the people in the yamen did not want to come and disturb them, but they did not expect that the Cao family
Already colluded with the rebels.
If my husband made a mistake, it was his mistake in trusting the Cao family. Now we will not make this mistake. If we cannot find out this matter, we will not leave the Cao family."
Mrs. Su had a determined look on her face.
The steward came in and reported: "Old lady, those who came with the memorial tablets have all sat down in the yard."
Mrs. Su's haggard face raised slightly: "If the old lady has made up her mind, just go to the yard and call me."
Mrs. Su walked out of the house and looked at Li Xu behind her in the hall: "Is this possible? What if they refuse to say it all the time?"
A calm and steady expression flashed across Li Xu's eyebrows: "The Cao family has already made mistakes in this matter. Now that they find they are being targeted, they will be even more panicked and try their best to make up for the mistakes they made before. The more mistakes they make, the more mistakes they make."
The more people there are, the old Mrs. Cao could suppress the entire Cao family by herself in the past. Now everyone in the Cao family is in danger and will have their own plans. As long as they act independently, more flaws will be exposed."
Mrs. Su's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thank you. In fact, my master has no favors to you, but you help me like this."
"Teacher, what you said is serious," Li Xu bowed and bowed, "Back then, my teacher recommended me to go to the military for training, which gave me a lot of experience. Now that the teacher is in trouble, students will naturally do their best."
Mrs. Su nodded repeatedly: "You are also smart, otherwise who would have thought of that matter."
"It's not a student," Li Xu said in a clear voice, "it was Miss Anyi Houfu who first found out the clues to the case. The student only came up with it after being reminded by her."
Mrs. Su was a little surprised.
Li Xu continued: "I just hope that the truth of this case will be revealed and the teacher can come back safe and sound."
Several people walked to the yard, and Mrs. Su also sat on the ground with everyone. Li Xu and Zhou Yue slowly moved away from the crowd, waiting for any movement from the Cao family.
Mrs. Cao came out of the old lady's house and immediately ordered her servants: "Go to Xu's house quickly to find Mr. Xu Er, and tell him that I want to discuss the matter with him and ask him to come over."
…
In a teahouse on the street next to Cao's house, Xu Qinghuan drank tea slowly.
Feng Chu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and the bird standing on the table let out a dissatisfied "yeah" and fluttered its feathers on Feng Chu's face.
Feng Chu wiped off the dust on her face and continued eating. She had already seen several groups of people going to the Cao family. The Cao family must be very lively now: "The eldest lady is right, it is better to be a good person and be able to watch others being treated."
It’s painful. Being a ghost can only make you suffer.”
"Will the Cao family be in chaos?" Xu Qing'an also leaned over.
"Yes." Xu Qinghuan took a sip of tea. As long as Li Xu took action, he would get things done.
Xu Qingan lowered his voice: "Then do you know who the murderer is?"
"Absolutely." Xu Qinghuan answered simply.
"Why is it always the same?"
In fact, she had deduced the entire case clearly, but that person... didn't know what role he played in it.
So she said, almost.
"Miss," Meng Lingyun rushed upstairs and almost stumbled in excitement, "I found out that the Taoist priest has a place to stay in Beicheng."
Xu Qinghuan put down the cup in his hand: "No one noticed?"
"No," Meng Lingyun swallowed a few mouthfuls, "I'm very careful."
Xu Qinghuan stood up and walked downstairs, but she stopped again.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qing'an looked at his sister in confusion.
"Let me think about it again." Xu Qinghuan simply squatted down and sat on the stairs.
For the first time, Xu Qingan saw from his sister's face that she looked like she was facing a formidable enemy.
…
Zhenren Zhang walked into a small courtyard.
He liked this courtyard because it was relatively remote, so it would be easier for the young master to come and go and he wouldn't be easily spotted.
With the young master's current status and situation, they had to be careful.
The house also looked very simple, he just bought some simple things.
A small bed and a book. Seeing Zhenren Zhang coming, he raised his bloodshot eyes and said calmly: "Wait a while before talking."
After saying that, he raised his head slightly and closed his eyes.
Master Zhang did not dare to make a sound, his eyes fell on the long sword on the table. The bloody smell on the sword seemed to have not faded away.
The young master looked like he had obviously not rested for several days.
