The words were spoken as if they were meeting on the street and exchanging pleasantries.
The words were spoken in Xu Qing'an's usual informal tone, which made Mr. Xu feel horrified and angry at the same time. He closed his eyes and tightened his jaw to prevent his teeth from chattering. He could not be embarrassed in front of such a person.
Especially he can't let people he looks down upon read his jokes.
"What are you doing here?" Mr. Xu Er clenched his fists and turned around.
His deliberately raised voice alarmed the people in the yard, and only a few figures were seen running out of the yard.
Xu Qing'an laughed: "I am an expert at escaping."
Zhou Yue, who had been ambushing the back door for a long time, immediately appeared and stopped several people.
Xu Qing'an jumped up, stretched out his hand and used strength to climb up the wall, and without any pause he kicked the person who was trying to escape over the wall.
The man screamed and fell into the yard.
"No one is allowed to run away," Xu Qing'an raised his eyebrows. He had not been in trouble for a long time and felt uncomfortable all over. He just took this opportunity to relax his muscles and bones. Thinking of this, he turned to Master Xu Er and smiled brightly, "Thank you.
Second uncle."
Mr. Xu Er felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Come on, let me sweat." Xu Qing'an tore open the collar buttons and jumped into the yard.
Sun Chong walked to Master Xu: "Second Master, weren't you in Fengxiang to mourn my wife? How did you get here in such a hurry?"
Mr. Xu Er said calmly: "My wife's dowry is in Zhuangzi nearby. Now that she is gone, I will go to Zhuangzi to take stock of it, so that it can be handed over to my son to take care of in the future. I don't want to seem to see it on the street."
My uncle followed me all the way."
Zhou Yue and the Yamen finished dealing with the people at the back door, panting, and came to Mr. Xu Er, looking at him carefully: "I really didn't expect that the real culprit turned out to be you."
Mr. Xu Er sneered: "What are you talking about? I will not let you make baseless accusations."
"If the Cao family doesn't plead guilty, Mr. Xu Er will be safe and sound," Li Xu said. "Then if the Cao family's affairs cannot be covered up, this case will have to be cleared up from the beginning. Can Mr. Xu Er still escape? These people arrested today
, Even if you can keep it secret, will Mr. Cao let you go?"
After Li Xu finished speaking, he walked towards the yard.
There were many people lying around in the yard, and Xu Qingan looked refreshed.
On the ground not far away, Mr. Cao was lying there, his collar stained red with blood, his eyes widened, motionless like a corpse.
"Are you late?" Zhou Yue stretched out her hand to feel the breath of Mr. Cao, but Mr. Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist firmly.
Zhou Yue was startled and barely managed to calm down.
Mr. Cao had already shouted: "He... they... want to kill me..."
Before anyone else could speak, Mr. Xu Er spoke first: "Who wants to kill you?"
Mr. Cao's eyes fell on Mr. Xu Er, his lips trembled, and he slowly came back to his senses. The yamen in the yard gave him a shiver. If he told the truth, I'm afraid the Cao family's secrets would not be hidden.
, at the critical moment, he forced himself to calm down and pointed at the tied up gangster: "They tied me here... He must... must have been ordered by someone, it is... He, was born to my second sister.
That child, he resents our Cao family and has come to take revenge on us."
"Are you talking about Zhao Shan's child?" Li Xu's words shocked Mr. Cao.
Li Xu said calmly: "Master Cao must have felt that the child took advantage of Mrs. Xu's opportunity to frame Prince Anyi to take revenge on the Cao family, so he killed Cao Ruwan. This guess seems very reasonable, but Master Cao forgot
A little bit.
First, the child must know Mrs. Xu Er's plan before he can take action. Second, he must have enough money to buy off the thugs hired by Mrs. Xu Er.
If he can do this, why bother to kill Cao Ruwan? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just pay for the murder and kidnap Mr. Cao?"
Mr. Cao wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
Li Xu said: "Master Cao, are you trying to say that that kid can do anything for revenge? Killing Cao Ruwan may be just to vent his anger.
Mr. Cao must remember how you harmed that child. You strangled him to death and buried him. Unexpectedly, he survived by chance, but the harm you caused him has always remained on his body. Not only can he not speak
, his mind is also different from ordinary people. We found bamboo dragonflies, spinning tops, and shuttlecocks in his residence. Only children like these things. He can only slaughter livestock and do menial work, and take care of his mother-in-law on his insoles.
Sewing beautiful paper kites is also to cater to his child-like temperament.
How can such a person make such meticulous arrangements?"
When Mr. Cao heard this, he turned to look at Mr. Xu.
Zhou Yue sighed: "You have already harmed this person, why are you still unwilling to let him go?"
"Because of greed," Li Xu said, "Mr. Xu Er has been coveting the title of Marquis of Anyi for a long time, and finally he found an opportunity to attack his nephew. If the whole thing goes smoothly, Xu Qing'an will go to jail, and Mrs. Xu San will die of her biological daughter.
If he doesn't let it go, it will definitely bring up the old incident of the Cao family. Master Xu Er will lure out Mrs. Xu San's son again, causing the Cao family to be completely in chaos. He will find an opportunity to blackmail the Cao family to get the money, which can be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Mr. Xu Er is very smart. Even if things start to go wrong, he will make up for it in time. If no one notices this, he will quietly take the money."
Mr. Xu Er's face began to look ugly.
Li Xu walked to Mr. Cao: "When you were forced to come here by those gangsters, you had already thought clearly that everything was arranged by Mr. Xu Er. You dare not tell the truth because this case will also ruin the case.
Now that you can no longer justify yourself, do you want to continue to cover up for Mr. Xu Er?"
"It's him...it's all his arrangement..." Mr. Cao said sternly, "I trust him in vain, but he came to harm us like this. Since we can't survive, he can't escape."
Seeing this situation, the gangsters who were pinned to the ground by the government officials also said: "The second master asked us to do this, it has nothing to do with us."
"Second uncle," Xu Qing'an said with a smile on his face, "you have caused big trouble this time."
Mr. Xu Er had a ferocious look on his face: "There's no place for a bastard like you to talk..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a strong force pressing towards his abdomen, and then his entire internal organs seemed to be squeezed together. Pain and nausea followed, and he couldn't help but bend down and groan.
"As the head of the Xu family, he did such a thing," Xu Qing'an moved his fingers, wishing to punch Mr. Xu again, "I wonder who is the scum of the Xu family."
"Sir," the officer who went to the north room to check came forward to report, "those boxes have been dug out, but... only one box contains money, and the rest are... all porcelain and ornaments."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Cao froze, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Mr. Xu Er was also stunned there, and couldn't help but murmured: "How is it possible?"
Looking at the wooden boxes in front of him, Sun Chong couldn't figure it out: "Where did the silver... go? Why isn't it silver?" Speaking of this, he looked around, "Where is Miss Xu? Where did she go?"
"Our eldest lady said it," Meng Lingyun said, "these two gentlemen are just... just..." He suddenly couldn't remember the eldest lady's original words.
In front of everyone, Meng Lingyun frowned and thought. After a while, Feng Chu's proud expression appeared in front of him. In Feng Chu's words: "These two gentlemen are like maggots in the sauce vat and rat shit in the rice vat. They are not only disgusting, but also disgusting."
It's not a big dish, and it's not worthy of our eldest lady coming over to see it."
After the words went smoothly, Meng Lingyun breathed a long sigh of relief: "The two of them are also chess pieces in the hands of others. Our eldest lady is going to catch the chess player."
…
The official road from Fengxiang to Beijing.
"You guys, let's have a cup of tea!" the waiter greeted with a smile on the side of the road.
Seeing the word "tea" written on the flag fluttering in the wind, Song Chengxuan suddenly reined in his horse and turned around.
"Sir," Yong Ye, who was accompanying him, couldn't help but say, "What are you..."
"Where is Zhenren Zhang? Find him immediately." Song Chengxuan said.
