Chapter three hundred and seventy seventh collect the corpse
Mrs. Yan quickly glanced at the corpse on the shore, her brows furrowed and her face full of worry.
"Madam," Cui Hao immediately stepped forward, "You said this is not the fourth lady, right?"
Mrs. Yan looked at Cui Hao, clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and thought for a long time before saying: "Probably not."
When he didn't get a positive answer, Cui Hao's eyes flashed with disappointment: "Does the eldest lady know where the fourth lady is at this moment?"
Cui Hao was too worried and panicked for a long time. He did not think carefully about what Mrs. Yan just said. He just wanted to know the whereabouts of Miss Yan.
Mrs. Yan was a little hesitant.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Now that the eldest lady is here, what else can't you say?"
Mrs. Yan's hands were trembling a little. She looked at Xu Qinghuan and seemed to have made a lot of determination before saying: "The boat was arranged by me and the fourth girl in advance. After the fourth girl left home, the Yan family will definitely search everywhere.
When they find this place, they will think that the four girls are leaving by boat and that this is a way to attack the east and the west.
In fact, the fourth girl did not board the ship, but went to hide in a bought house. When everything stabilizes, she will go to Northern Xinjiang, so that the Yan family will not embarrass Cui Hao."
Cui Hao's eyes turned red even more when he heard this.
Mrs. Yan sighed: "Cui Hao, my fourth girl really cares about you. No matter what happens to the Yan family, she is also a serious daughter, but she is willing to do this... Did you know that as long as she walks out of the house, she will be completely gone?
As for the retreat, I also advised her that if you regret it, her fate will be worse than that of a concubine, but she did not hesitate...I am now..."
Mrs. Yan choked up slightly when she said this and could hardly continue. She took a deep breath to calm down: "I regret it too. Did I do something wrong?"
"What's going on?" Cui Hao asked eagerly, "Madam, please tell me. As long as the fourth lady is safe and sound, we will do our best to repay you in the future."
Mrs. Yan finally couldn't help but shed tears: "Cui Hao, I am more anxious than you. If something goes wrong with the fourth girl, I don't want to live anymore."
Xu Qinghuan looked at the messy Mrs. Yan: "Madam, the fourth lady can't be found?"
Mrs. Yan nodded: "I sent people to look for the fourth girl at the appointed place, but found that the fourth girl was not there at all." Then she went to look at the body again, "but I know she must not have boarded the ship, she...
...Where did he go...Did he avoid me intentionally, or did something really go wrong."
"So," Xu Qinghuan said, "the eldest lady doesn't know why there is a female corpse here?"
Mrs. Yan shook her head: "I came here after hearing the news." She then glanced at the body and asked, "Can I go over and have a look?"
Mrs. Yan said with a nervous expression on her face, as if she was afraid that the female corpse was Miss Yan Si.
Xu Qinghuan nodded, and Mrs. Yan was helped to walk over. After a while, she came back with a pale face.
Xu Qinghuan said: "Can the eldest lady identify the woman?"
Mrs. Yan shook her head: "Why did those people want to destroy her face? Poor this child..." At this point, Mrs. Yan lowered her head and shed tears.
"right here."
There was a burst of noise from far away, and a group of people carrying the coffin came towards us. The leader was Mr. Yan.
Seeing Mr. Yan, Mrs. Yan shivered and almost collapsed to the ground.
"Why are you here?" Mr. Yan looked at Mrs. Yan with an angry face.
Mrs. Yan's voice trembled: "Master, I heard that something happened by the river, so..."
Mr. Yan sneered and gave Mrs. Yan a warning look: "Take the people back immediately."
Mrs. Yan subconsciously lowered her head and agreed, and was about to leave with the others.
Mr. Yan ordered his servants: "What are you still doing? Collect the body of Miss Fourth."
Mrs. Yan immediately stopped and looked at Mr. Yan in surprise: "Master... that... that's not..."
"It's not what?" Mr. Yan's eyes looked fierce, "You have no role to interrupt here. Why are the fourth girls here? The elders of the Yan family will naturally ask you. If you violate the family rules, don't blame me for refusing to protect you."
After saying this, Master Yan waved his hand, and two servants immediately came to help Mrs. Yan.
After finally clearing away the troublesome person in front of him, Mr. Yan is about to take action.
"Wait a minute."
A crisp voice came.
Mr. Yan turned his head and saw the eldest lady of the Anyi Hou Mansion.
"If someone is killed, you must report it to the Yamen first," Xu Qinghuan met Mr. Yan's eyes, "The Yan family is also a famous family, don't you know this truth?"
Mr. Yan suppressed the anger in his heart, so his expression became a little distorted. Due to the relationship between the Xu family and the Song family, he did not dare to confront Miss Xu, but he would not be stopped by a mere woman.
Mr. Yan said coldly: "What Miss Xu said is that this case must be reported to the official, and our family has already written a petition." At this point, he pointed to Cui Hao, "He was the one who kidnapped my family."
Fourth girl, now that fourth girl died tragically, we suspect that he is the murderer, and our Yan family will go to court with this beast.
But before that, we need to bury the bodies of my female family members first, otherwise my Yan family will lose face. Please forgive me, Miss Xu."
After speaking, Mr. Yan immediately said: "What are you waiting for? Go carry the body."
The Yan family members swarmed forward, as if they wanted to take the body away no matter what happened.
"Mr. Yan, does he know that casually destroying evidence violates the laws of the Zhou Dynasty? You can touch this body, but when someone from the Yamen comes and asks, we will report the truth."
Mr. Yan didn't expect to meet Xu Qinghuan here, and he didn't expect that this woman would be so sharp-toothed. If this was a woman from the Yan family, he would have taken action long ago.
Xu Qinghuan took a few steps forward and raised his head slightly: "What? Mr. Yan doesn't believe it?"
Mr. Yan clenched his fists. Next to Ms. Xu stood the servants of the Xu family. They were obviously not easy to get along with. The most important thing was that Song Chengxuan's appearance appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in his heart. He
If Miss Xu is really touched, Master Song will definitely not give up.
He couldn't lose his life for a woman.
Mr. Yan couldn't help but take a step back and turned to look for Cui Hao: "Miss Xu, must you have made a mistake? The murderer is there, why are you trying to embarrass us..."
At this point, he realized that Cui Hao had disappeared.
"Look, the murderer has already run away...He...hurry up and let someone chase him."
…
Mrs. Yan returned to Yan's house in a carriage. As soon as she got out of the carriage, a stone jumped on the ground and rolled to her feet. She raised her head and saw Cui Hao in the corner.
Mrs. Yan walked into Yan's house pretending to be nonchalant, and finally got rid of Mr. Yan's spy and had people guard her at the back door.
Cui Hao came over as expected: "Madam, are you not finished saying something? What is going on? Why did Mr. Yan go to collect the body? Why did he say it was Miss Fourth?"
"Something happened to the fourth girl," Mrs. Yan said with tears in her eyelashes. "There were so many people there just now that I didn't dare to say anything. If anyone finds out... the fourth girl's life will be in danger."
At this point, Mrs. Yan took out a hosta from her sleeve and handed it to Cui Hao: "Do you recognize this?"
Cui Hao's hands couldn't help but tremble. He naturally recognized this hairpin because he carved it himself and gave it to Miss Yan Si.
Cui Hao stroked the hairpin: "Madam, tell me, where is the fourth lady? No matter where she is, I will rescue her."
Mrs. Yan pursed her pale lips: "After the fourth girl left the Yan family, she did not go to the house we agreed to hide in. That's because she was kidnapped halfway. The person who kidnapped her gave her this hairpin and
Letter, let our Yan family bring things to redeem people, otherwise we will kill the fourth girl."
"What do they want?" Cui Hao opened his eyes wide, and blood seemed to ooze from the corners of his eyes. "No matter what they want, I will get it for them."
"It's not that simple," Mrs. Yan took a breath, "What they want is something equally important in the hands of the Yan family, and it is impossible for the Yan family to give it to them."
