Bang, the door on the left side of the public hall was vigorously pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man walked in Yingguang. The people in the house heard the movement at the door and looked up at the door. Seeing the visitor, Murong Ye and Master Liu had really such expressions, while Xia Chan was shocked. She never thought that Uncle Xu, who was always silent and honest, would be related to this murder.

"Murong Ye, this ......... How can it be? Xia Chan looked at Murong Ye in disbelief

Murong Ye glanced at Xia Chan, looked at Uncle Xu who was walking quickly, and a weird smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "Don't say it's you, it's me, I never thought that Uncle Xu would be involved in this case." After speaking, he looked back at Xia Chan, "Do you remember the time when the two of us went to Yizhuang together?" That time we fell into a trap for no reason, but it wasn't for us at all, we just stepped into it by mistake. Otherwise, the two of us would have died at that time. In fact, I was also surprised at the time, why someone went to great lengths to dig this trap, but when we fell into it, there was no action. I didn't understand until today. That trap was actually prepared by Uncle Xu for another person, but unfortunately that person didn't appear in the end. ”

Xia Chan's face darkened a little, and he turned his head to look at Uncle Xu and then at Lianxiang

"What is the relationship between Lianxiang and Uncle Xu? Why did Uncle Xu save him? The anxiety and worry on Uncle Xu's face when he came in just now was seen in Xia Chan's eyes. Intuition told her that the relationship between these two people was not ordinary. However, one is the maid of the county government, and the other is the catcher of the county government. The age difference between the two people is more than 20 years, and it is impossible to be a couple. So what would it be?

Murong Ye followed Xia Chan's line of sight and looked at Uncle Xu, "Let's ask Uncle Xu to answer this question for us in person." Actually, I'm as curious as you are, two people who don't seem to have anything to do with each other. Why is it here at the same time? And we didn't even notice it before, it seems that the personnel of this yamen are going to be cleaned up. ”

After Murong Ye finished speaking, he nodded at Master Liu, Master Liu took the file on the side, looked at Uncle Xu and Lianxiang and asked

"Uncle Xu, since you are already here, it is up to you to take the matter. Why did you kill Mo Qiye, what is your relationship with Lianxiang. And how did you join forces? The evidence is now conclusive. It's better for you to come here one by one, and for the sake of us working together for so long, I can also ask the adults to intercede for you. ”

Over here. Master Liu has worked with Uncle Xu the longest, although Uncle Xu usually doesn't like to talk very much, and he doesn't participate in everyone's gatherings much, but they have been together for a long time. There will be feelings for everything. Seeing them like this, there is still something unpleasant in my heart.

Uncle Xu is still dressed in coarse linen. Carrying it on his back, he walked a little more easily than usual. Walked up to Lianxiang, knelt on the ground next to Lianxiang, and faced Lianxiang. said with a guilty face

"Miss, the old slave has wronged you. You can rest assured, no matter what happens. The old slave will definitely protect you. ”

Miss? Xia Chan looked up at Lianxiang suddenly, and her gaze shifted from her to Uncle Xu. I sighed in my heart. I'm afraid it's another grievance. It seems that there are still many similarities between ancient and modern times, and grievances and grievances are indispensable wherever you go.

Lian Xiang looked up at Uncle Xu crying, shook her head, and bit her lip, "Uncle Xu, Xiang'er has grown up." If it weren't for Xiang'er who has been burdening you for so many years, you wouldn't be like this. Uncle Xu, let Xiang'er bear this matter. Now that the revenge has been avenged, in this world, Xiang'er has nothing to be nostalgic for. Xiang'er also misses her father. Would like to see them sooner. ”

"No, miss. You didn't bother the old slave, the old slave was willing for so many years. On the contrary, it is an old slave, and you have suffered a lot with me over the years. Now it has caused you to be wronged. It's all the old slave's fault. Don't worry, when everything is over, the old slave will beg the adult to return your freedom, so that you can go wherever you want in the future. Never be tired of being because of identity again. ”

After Uncle Xu finished speaking, without waiting for Lianxiang to speak, he knelt and moved a few steps forward, kowtowed a few times to Murong Ye, straightened up, and looked up at the front, but his eyes drifted into the distance and fell into contemplation

"My lord, I still remember the case of the Mo family in Jiangnan eighteen years ago. At that time, in order to close the case as soon as possible, the government did not hesitate to take people's lives, not only let Cao Kou Qin Jiu take the blame, but also washed the entire cottage in blood. Back then, I was a scholar who failed the exam, and because I offended the powerful, I was chased and killed to Daliang Mountain, and was rescued by the second master of the mountain inspection. Because I admire the pride and righteousness of the second master. I planned to go up the mountain for a while. Because my father opened a medical center, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and I know a little about medical science. Although Daliang Mountain is very large, there is no doctor who can see a doctor. When I went up the mountain, I became the only doctor in the village who could see a doctor. Everyone respects me and everyone is very welcoming. Over time, I was moved by this enthusiasm and simple kindness. The small stay became a long stay. On the day of the accident, because there was a shortage of medicine in the hospital, I went to the mountains to collect medicine. only to get away with the massacre. Lianxiang is the daughter of the second leader of our cottage. She was just an infant at the time. Because he was protected by the second leader and his wife, he saved his life. After that day, I left the cottage with Lianxiang and went to Jiangnan. I thought that the reason why our cottage was slaughtered was because of the enemy. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Jiangnan, I found out that this qiē was just a conspiracy reads();. A conspiracy to shut everyone up. ”

Three days later, the big boss and the second boss were executed at the market entrance on the grounds of murdering the Mo family. On that day, almost all the people in the city went to the vegetable market, and I also went there with lotus incense. There I saw two people who were once high-spirited and had always smiled at people, all of them were injured, their mouths were also blocked, and in just three days, the whole person looked like they were more than ten years old. At that time, I hated it in my heart. I have been studying hard for decades, bent on gaining fame and seeking benefits for the people. But in the end, what are our officials doing. What is the imperial court doing again. A small Jiangnan county order can cover the sky with one hand, is there still a fair thing in this world? ”

"So I swear, I want revenge. I want to avenge the lives of more than 100 people in our cottage. Later, I was introduced to the government office in Jiangnan to do a job. When the young lady was older, after discussing with the young lady, she also sent the young lady to the government office as a maid. 一 qiē carried out very smoothly. Ten years later, all the officials involved in that incident were directly or indirectly executed by me. I thought that this matter was over, so I took my young lady to Qingyang County. Going incognito. Take the young lady to live a normal life. But an accident three years ago made me discover that Qin De, the youngest son of the big boss, is still alive in this world. At that time, Qin De was still an inconspicuous little guy in the county government. After 10 years, I am very excited to see the people of the cottage again. So the next day, I found a reason to go to the county government to see him. Later, he sued me, in fact, it was not the people from the government who washed the cottage in blood, but Mo Qiye. ”

"But Mo Qiye was in Jiangnan at that time. How can you be sure that he will come to Qingyang County at this time? Xia Chan asked suspiciously

Uncle Xu glanced up at Xia Chan. His face was pale, and large drops of sweat were dripping from his forehead

"At that time, we couldn't be sure when Mo Qiye would come to Qingyang County, but those things back then. A lot of people know me. I'm afraid it's impossible to go back to Jiangnan. So I discussed with Qin De, how could I let Mo Qiye come to Qingyang County. Later, I heard that the old lady of the Zhao family, the richest man in Qingyang County, was going to celebrate her 80th birthday. So I asked Qin De to buy off a maid of the Zhao family, blowing the wind in the old lady's ear, and finally the old lady agreed. What I didn't expect was. The Zhao family not only invited Mo Qiye, but also invited Bai Jianmei, who was as famous as their troupe. ”

"So you think that Bai Jianmei has ruined your big business. So you even killed Bai Jianmei? Speaking of Bai Jianmei, Xia Chan said suddenly

Uncle Xu shook his head and looked at Murong Ye with a solemn face, "No, I didn't kill the white class master." My lord. Although I am not a good person, I am not an abominable person who kills innocents indiscriminately. ”

Murong Ye nodded and raised his hand to signal him to continue. Uncle Xu lowered his eyes. Go on

"Although both troupes came, it didn't affect our plans. However, when everything was planned, Qin De temporarily retreated. Anyway, he didn't agree to do it. Also sue me, what to say when the grievances are retribution. Hehe, it's ridiculous, he was young back then, and he didn't see the bloody scene of the cottage, if he did, I am afraid that he would not say such a thing so easily today. However, although I was angry, I did not force him. I think, I'm old, and even if I really get found out, I just have the life of an old slave. Both of them are still young and should not be involved in these grievances. But unexpectedly, in the end, Qin De died because of this incident. ”

Speaking of Qin De, Uncle Xu raised his hand and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He spoke again, a little choked in his voice

"On the seventh day of Mo Qiye's arrival in Qingyang County, I found him and poisoned him in his room. You almost know the rest of the story. ”

After Uncle Xu finished speaking, he lowered his head and waited for Murong Ye's verdict. Xia Chan sat aside, a little puzzled in his heart, according to what Uncle Xu said, this matter had nothing to do with Qin De from beginning to end, so why did Qin De commit suicide in the end. And the last thing he said, be careful.... Obviously reminding Murong Ye to be careful, who should he beware? But Uncle Xu didn't mention that there were other people in it from beginning to end, unless Uncle Xu still had something to hide.

Xia Chan glanced up at Murong Ye, and Murong Ye happened to be looking at Xia Chan as well.

"Do you think there's something wrong with this, reads();." Although there was a murderer of Mo Qiye, for some reason, she always felt that Uncle Xu had not said everything.

Murong Ye also felt the same way, and turned his head to look at Uncle Xu, "Uncle Xu, Qin De was not killed by anyone, but killed himself." ”

Suicide? Uncle Xu's eyes were full of surprise, his eyes widened, and he looked straight at Murong Ye, "No, it's impossible." How could he have committed suicide. Why did he commit suicide. ”

"That's what we want to know. Uncle Xu, do you have something else to hide from us? When Qin De died at that time, he reminded Murong Ye to be careful. Is it to be careful of whom, or what. Also, Uncle Xu, when we went to Yizhuang that day, who did the trap you dig for? ”

"Nope... Nobody. Uncle Xu's eyes dodged, not daring to look at Xia Chan. Lowering his head and looking at the ground, "There are many fierce beasts in the mountains, and I dig traps to hunt." ”

"Hunting? Then Uncle Xu, your trap is really not shallow. It is estimated that an elephant can easily go around a few times when it goes in. Xia Chan's smile was unfathomable, but she also saw that Uncle Xu didn't want to say it. Xia Chan turned his head and smiled at Murong Ye, got up and walked to Lianxiang and squatted

"Lianxiang, if I guessed correctly, that day in the study, you deliberately went against me, in order to delay time for Uncle Xu." That day, Lianxiang was looking for her stubble everywhere, looking very scheming, thinking about it today, it should be to cooperate with Uncle Xu's test. The human eye does not deceive. Xia Chan saw innocence and kindness in Lianxiang's eyes. If it weren't for the trick of fate, she would have become her own child at her age and live a happy life.

Lianxiang glanced up at Xia Cicada, pursed her lips, and was silent. Uncle Xu on the side suddenly spoke at this time, kowtowed to Murong Ye a few times, and cried and begged

"Don't ask, sir. I've told you everything I know. I did it all by myself, and it has nothing to do with my young lady. Just ask the adults to punish me alone. ”

"Uncle Xu........." Lianxiang took a few steps forward and pulled Uncle Xu's sleeve, her eyes full of worry.

Xia Cicada stood up, knowing that he would ask again, but he was afraid that he would not be able to ask anything. I got up and went back to my seat. looked at Lianxiang again, and said to Murong Ye

"Now that Mo Qiye's case has been settled, just have one to take responsibility for this matter. As for the others, forget it. Everything in the world has a cause and an effect. If there were no antecedents, there would be no such result as today. ”

Murong Ye pondered for a moment with his eyebrows raised, and nodded, "Put Uncle Xu in prison, and wait for me to make a decision after I am enlightened." As for Lianxiang, I gave her a deed of sale, and I gave her back her freedom. ”

Everyone listened to Murong Ye's words, and their faces were unconsciously happy. Uncle Xu was the first to kowtow and thank you. Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief and put away the file. Only Lianxiang, with a pensive face, didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing this, Xia Chan sighed, got up and walked out of the room.

At this point, she has no other way to treat Lianxiang except sympathy. Let's not talk about this matter, the emperor has paid attention to it. It has been a saying since ancient times that murder pays for life. It is also the guarantee for us to live in a society governed by the rule of law. Although Uncle Xu is not a traitorous person, it is wrong to kill people. Although this society cannot be 100% fair, it cannot be arbitrary.

Mo Qiye's case has finally come to an end. She's been out for a few days. When I was busy, I didn't feel homesick, but now when I am free, the idea of homesickness is like a weed crazy out. Coming out of the court, Xia Chan decided to return to Liang Village early tomorrow morning.

Dabao has been following her out for a few days, although there is a review every day, but there is no gentleman by his side. It's better to go back to school earlier. In addition, after going back this time, she plans to let Forestry and the bolts of the eldest sister's family go to the school.

"When are you going to go back to Liang Village?" (To be continued.) )
