The living standards of the people in Qinghe County belong to the middle and lower class in this society, the prosperity is not as good as the nearby Yanggu County, and the population is not as prosperous as the neighboring Zhangyin County, so as soon as the night approaches, the streets are empty early, and those shops are closed early.

When Wu Da returned home exhausted, he found that the light in his lobby was on, and his heart suddenly felt warm.

Cheng Jinlian had already prepared dinner, and she didn't eat it politely first, leaving him a meal, although her cooking skills couldn't catch up with Wuda, it was not very difficult to eat.

"How is it, Brother Wu, are you tired?" Cheng Jinlian reached out and handed over a pair of chopsticks to Wu Dalang, who had already washed, and his eyes were not as cold as last night.

Wu Da thanked him honestly, in fact, when he went out for a day today, he occasionally thought of this woman in his own house. It is really far-fetched to match such a woman according to his conditions, he understands her thoughts very well, he is not good-looking and his family is poor, and he can't give her the life she wants, so he won't let her go as soon as possible.

It's no wonder that Wu Da thought like this, he went out for a day today, and he heard a lot of gossip, saying that his beautiful daughter-in-law was charming, and he couldn't discipline him at all, and said that sooner or later one day he would cuckold him, although Wu Da had a cowardly personality, but he still had his own self-esteem, hearing this, and thinking of what the woman said, since she didn't have the heart to talk to him, why did he force her to stay by his side, otherwise, something would happen sooner or later, thinking of these, when he came home, he heard Cheng Jinlian call him a big brother, he felt that this was more real than calling himself an official。

With this, his attitude also became calm, eating the food made by Cheng Jinlian, although it was not delicious, but he had not enjoyed such treatment for a long time, he felt warm in his heart, in fact, it was not bad to recognize this girl, at least she was more sincere than her being his wife.

The two chatted very harmoniously for a while, and then Wu Da said that business is not good now, and the cooking cakes made by themselves are generally sold today, but they don't make a lot of money after removing the cost.

Cheng Jinlian understood his hard work, so after he had eaten, he took the initiative to take the obligation of washing the dishes, returned to the kitchen, and after cleaning up, thinking about the attitude of Wuda today, Cheng Jinlian also let down her previous guard, this honest and honest Wuda seems to have a lot of things in common, in this case, I have to do something to repay him.

The two went back to their rooms to rest, Cheng Jinlian sat on the bed, and began to raise the true qi for cultivation again, although eating is not a problem now, but the people living at the bottom in this era have no human rights at all, those who have the right want to kill someone is as simple as pinching an ant to death, not to mention that in a few years, this era will be chaotic, without a little life-saving ability, it will not work, although he has the true qi to protect the body, but he lacks a lot in attack and combat, and if he has the opportunity to practice martial arts another day, he must find a good master to practice martial arts, and if he really encounters danger in the future, he can increase his chances of winning。

I don't know how long it took, she opened her eyes, heard Wuda's snoring in her ears, and her heart was a lot calmer.

When did she become so timid, Cheng Jinlian's charming face fell into a shadow, in modern times, since the death of her mother, she has been wandering alone on the edge of that society, lonely, lonely, and empty She has not tried anything, but she can still persevere, support herself, there will always be hope in her heart, and she has been working hard for her goals.

Since coming here, she has been desperate and even thought about giving up, if it weren't for what her mother said, she may have lost hope in life, although she can regain confidence and face the future of life, but she always feels that she is missing a lot of work, and she can't find a sense of direction, maybe she is the saddest at this time.

She stood up, gently fiddled with the wick of the candle, only to hear a crackling and a few bursts of light, and then fell into a dead silence, looking out the window into the deep night, she was a little confused.

There were a few dog barks on the side of the street, and suddenly, a terrible voice woke up Cheng Jinlian, she was stunned for a moment, and finally decided to go out and have a look.

Quickly dressed neatly, Cheng Jinlian did not wake up Wuda, pushed the door alone and walked out, a gust of cold wind blew, which made her somewhat confused brain suddenly sober up a lot.

Today is seventeen, the dark night, there is no light, even the stars have disappeared, Cheng Jinlian followed the voice through the night, in the silent almost dead air, there was a faint smell of blood, Cheng Jinlian couldn't help but look dark, and pay more attention to the surrounding breath.

"Ah, help, kill!" finally a woman's cry broke the dead silence and woke up the nearby residents.

When Cheng Jinlian arrived, she found a tragic scene in front of her, under the light of the dim lanterns, the bright red all over the ground, the rich blood stimulated people's sense of smell, a man in a white silk dress was lying on the ground, there was no sound, and a woman next to her was trembling there, obviously frightened by the scene in front of her.

Cheng Jinlian couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw that woman, wasn't that the Li family? How could she be here? And she was still disheveled.

"Murder, murder," Li's hair was very messy, she had lost her arrogance during the day, her eyes were dilated, and her lips were even more frightened, and she kept repeating those three words until someone came.

"Madam, madam, how are you?" A little maid obviously just learned the news and ran over, and Cheng Jinlian found out that this was actually the back door of the Li Mansion, and the maids and servants of the Li family all rushed up.

"Ah, isn't this the young master? Quick, quick, hurry up and inform the old lady that the young master has been killed," a person who looked like a steward said with a sad face, and the little guy in the back sighed and ran into the Li Mansion to inform him of this matter.

Cheng Jinlian was also a little stunned, how could this man die, thinking of his behavior during the day, it was indeed quite hateful, but she still didn't agree with taking someone's life so easily.

Seeing that more and more people had gathered, and even destroyed the scene, Cheng Jinlian quietly took a few steps back. It wasn't that she was afraid, but she felt a hint of familiarity, and although it quickly disappeared, she could still sense the strangeness of the person. Thinking of those deep and cold eyes, Cheng Jinlian felt a chill, if she really matched him, she really didn't know how sure she was.

She looked around and made sure that the person had left this place, although she was hesitant in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it, and a few ordinary people next to her were talking about the cause of Li Dafu's death, listening to their tone, there was some schadenfreude.

A quarter of an hour later, several yamen officers also came, and they quickly evacuated the crowd and let them leave, and then surveyed the surrounding environment again to assist the Li family in moving Li Dafu's body back.

Hearing the bursts of crying from the Li Mansion behind the door, Cheng Jinlian couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, it was close to dawn at this time, and many people who came to see the excitement found that there was actually a peerless beauty standing beside them, and most of their attention was sucked away, and they came over to ask Cheng Jinlian's identity.

Cheng Jinlian finally got rid of the entanglement of those people, returned to the martial family, and saw that Wu Dalang had already gotten up and started to make cooking cakes, when he saw Cheng Jinlian's figure, he was surprised for a moment, "Pan Niangzi, why did you come back from outside, what did you do in the morning?"

Cheng Jinlian didn't want to hide it, anyway, he would know about it sooner or later, rather than making him suspicious, it was better to tell him about it earlier, thinking of this, he told him about Li Dafu's murder, and he went over to see it because he heard the voice, but he didn't expect to see such a tragic scene.

Wu Da was taken aback when he heard this, this Li Dafu, as a celebrity in Qinghe County, he naturally had heard of it, but he didn't expect that this person would be killed, hey, it's really unpredictable!
