In the early morning, in a low and old courtyard near the south gate of Changshan County, a woman with disheveled hair and only a moon-white tunic was pouring water in the yard with her bare feet.
She lowered her head to admire her exposed white jade bare feet while humming a tune. Obviously, she was in a good mood this early in the morning.
A hand covered her mouth from behind her without warning. She was startled, and when she was about to scream, she suddenly heard a familiar man's voice: "It's me, don't scream!"
The woman breathed a sigh of relief and angrily shook off the man's hand: "Damn you, you scared me! I thought you had forgotten me a long time ago!"
When the man let go, he took the opportunity to touch her body, and then said: "No one will forget you if they forget you! Isn't this coming?"
"Oh!" The woman pretended to be shy: "Well, why are you doing anything? Come on, how many days do you plan to stay this time?"
The man said: "Let's talk about it after we go back to the house!"
As he said this, he grabbed the woman and walked into the house.
After a while, a woman's scolding voice sounded in the room: "You damn ghost, slow down..."
"Lao Wu, hurry up! It's getting late now!" A man's cold voice rang, interrupting the sound in the room.
"Yes, third brother!" After a while, the man walked out of the house angrily.
"This is where you said you lived?" Wu San, the scarred tiger, looked at this old, gaudy-decorated courtyard with a look of disgust.
"Well, third brother, although this place is close to the south gate, it's in a remote place and ordinary people can't find it! It's convenient for us to enter the city and convenient for walking!" The man said with a flattering look on his face.
"Just live with it! Find me a room and I'll lie down for a while! Let's get down to business in the evening!" Wu San, the scarred tiger, ran around all night and planned to take a rest.
"Third brother, do you want me to ask my good friend to find you a girl to play with you for a while? The women here are so tough!" The man whom Scar and Tiger called Lao Wu looked flattering.
"Not interested!" Scared Tiger replied, and warned him: "Tell that woman to keep her mouth shut, or I will burn this place down!"
"That's natural! Mei'er is on the road!" Lao Wu nodded.
Then he called the woman in the room: "Mei'er, come quickly, come see the third brother!"
The woman twisted her waist and walked out of the house. At this moment, she was wearing a thin red gauze skirt outside her middle coat. When she saw Wu San, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then smiled sweetly: "Hello, third brother."
!I’ve heard Master Wu mention you a long time ago!”
Wu San, the scarred tiger, nodded to her lightly and said to Lao Wu: "Ask her to find me a room!"
Obviously, he has always looked down upon this kind of woman.
Lao Wu quickly said to Mei'er: "Mei'er, move a room out of the room for the third brother! The third brother needs to have a good rest, and remember not to let anyone disturb him!"
Mei'er nodded: "Yes, I'll go right away!" She twisted her waist and swung her hips as she said that. Before leaving, she didn't forget to give Lao Wu a look.
After Zhuqing finished his breakfast, he followed Li Zheng on the mule cart heading to the county seat.
Because they were worried about Scar Tiger and the others taking action against the people in the village, Li Zheng drove the mule cart very fast along the way.
"Qingya, when you see the catcher later, don't be afraid, just tell the truth about what happened yesterday!" Li Zheng was afraid that Zhuqing would be timid when she saw the catcher, so he kept giving her psychological construction along the way.
"Yeah, I'm not afraid!" Zhu Qing nodded.
It seems that the Wu family came here because they were caught and had a grudge, so they came here to take revenge on their family.
It was just that the eldest son of the Zhou family handed over the petition. How could the Wu family know so quickly that the witness was her father, Sun Fucheng?
Is it possible that the Wu family also has acquaintances in the Yamen?
Yes, someone should have reported it to them!
Zhuqing couldn't help but become nervous when he thought about this. If the Wu family had eyes and ears in the Yamen, then if they went to the Yamen like this, would it be considered a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?
"Grandpa Li Zheng, do you think the Wu family will see Mr. Zhou's letter?" Zhu Qing asked.
"This, if it was a public event, they would naturally know about it. But yesterday there was a surprise operation in the county, so they would definitely not be informed in advance!" Li Zheng replied.
After he answered, he came to his senses: "Yes, the murderer kept asking for your father. How did he know that your father had testified? They haven't gone to court yet!"
"Oh, we're afraid we won't be able to go to this Yamen!" Li Zheng also thought that there might be someone in the Wu family's Yamen.
"Then, we must let the people in the county government know the traces of the scarred tiger, otherwise it will be nothing if they harm anyone in our village!" Li Zheng couldn't help but look worried.
"Grandpa Lizheng, why don't we go find the Zhou family? Can't Master Zhou directly see the county master? If he tells him directly, it will definitely be better than ours!" Zhu Qing thought and gave him some advice.
"Well, this is a way! But the eldest master of the Zhou family, I'm afraid we can't just meet him! Qingya, you were there last time, otherwise you go and find someone from their family!" Li Zheng
Thinking that Zhuqing had always had a close relationship with the Zhou family, he said to her.
"Let me try this!" Zhu Qing was not sure about finding Mr. Zhou. But after all, she had been to Zhou's house once, so she thought she would be fine if she went again, right?
After entering the county town, they found the Zhou family easily. Their mule cart stopped at the corner gate of the Zhou family.
Zhuqing got out of the car and found a friendly-looking boy at the door: "Brother, I'm looking for your eldest young master's coachman, Uncle Ding!"
She had thought about it, if she, a country girl, went directly to find his eldest son, Zhou Zhengnan, she would be regarded as a madman, and she would be driven away as soon as possible.
It would be safest to find Lao Ding. After all, Lao Ding is just a coachman, and it should be reasonable to have a relative in the countryside.
Hearing that Zhu Qing was looking for Lao Ding, the boy looked her up and down and asked, "Who are you, Lao Ding? What do you want to see him for? He is not here now. The young master has something to do and goes out!"
Hearing that Lao Ding was not here, Zhuqing couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Is that so? Then, could you please send me a message, saying that someone in Cuizhu Village has something to do with him?"
When Zhuqing asked him to report the news, the boy was quite reluctant: "They will be back after dinner, so you can come back in the afternoon!"
Zhuqing was stunned. This matter could not wait. The two murderers were near Cuizhu Village. Who knew when they would hurt someone again?
So he hurriedly asked: "Then where is your eldest young master? I'll go find him! I'm really in a hurry!"
The boy looked impatient: "Yanyu Pavilion Poetry Club! You can't get in even if you go!"
