Chapter 21: Warmth and Coldness

Now that Su Lao was killed in his hometown, and the murderer was a subordinate of the Thirteenth Prince, it is obvious that he did not stop because Su Lao was dismissed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info actually secretly sent his subordinates to follow him, and now he has even caused such three lives.

Lei Xiaotian figured out the truth of the matter, and now he felt that this matter was even more tricky, obviously, this matter was not as simple as he originally thought.

He began to regret agreeing to settle this matter for Ye Shaolong, judging from the fact that the Thirteenth Prince was so scheming to get Su Lao's only daughter. Lei Xiaotian felt that this matter was not easy to handle, and for the sake of safety, he felt that it was necessary to send someone to Beijing to find out the tone of the Thirteen Princes.

When Su Xiaocao left the Ye Mansion, he hurried back to his house alone, the gate of the dilapidated courtyard of the Su family, and at this time, there was actually a yacha guarding the door.

Su Xiaocao frowned, anxious about her father's corpse, she couldn't care so much, so she went straight inside. When the official in charge of guarding saw someone rushing over, he immediately stopped: "There is a murder case here, and idle people are not allowed to enter or leave." ”

"This is my home." Su Xiaocao looked into the courtyard at the door and saw that there were also a few officials guarding the courtyard.

The guard looked at Su Xiaocao carefully, and said uncertainly: "You are Su Xiaocao, the only daughter of Su Lao?" ”

Su Xiaocao was obviously stunned for a moment, he and his father went back to their hometown quietly, it has only been a few days, and they have never publicized it to the public, how did this official know his identity?

Although she was very confused, Su Xiaocao still nodded and admitted her identity, and at this point, she felt that there was no need to hide it anymore. Besides, she is not afraid of being targeted by the people of the Thirteen Princes now, on the contrary, as long as she takes care of her father's funeral, she will take the initiative to find the Thirteen Princes.

"Please come with me, the prefect is waiting for you inside at this moment." At this time, the yacha seemed to find out that Su Xiaocao was dressed as a woman, and although he was puzzled, he didn't interrogate too much, so he led Su Xiaocao to the courtyard.

In the hall, several yacha were scattered around watching the scene, and a fat man in official uniform stood in the center of the hall with his hands behind his back, and this person was the prefect Lei Xiaotian.

After the Ye family's father and son left, he immediately brought people to check the scene, and wanted to see Su Xiaocao himself, but Su Xiaocao was not at home.

"Your Excellency......." The yacha led Su Xiaocao and wanted to report to him.

Lei Xiaotian showed his signature smiling face, waved his hand to let the yacha go down, and then said, "You are Su Xiaocao, the only daughter of Su Lao, right?" ”

Su Xiaocao stared at the smiling Lei Xiaotian for a moment, making sure that he didn't have the slightest impression of him, but the other party was the prefect and was very friendly to him at the moment. She couldn't be rude, and replied: "It's the little girl, I don't know what the adult is ......." ”

"Sit down and talk."

Lei Xiaotian led with one hand, and after inviting Su Xiaocao into the inner room to sit down, he said: "Su Lao is an honest official, and he is a rare good official in the dynasty, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time!" Although the official and Su Lao have no chance to meet, they have admired him for a long time, but they are separated by heaven and man when they meet today! ”

Su Xiaocao looked at Lei Xiaotian coldly and sighed on the side, she has followed her father since she was a child, although she has never really mixed in the officialdom. But she doesn't understand it at all, and she is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything, and she will definitely not be really believed by the kind-hearted prefect in front of her in a few words.

Su Xiaocao's indifference made Lei Xiaotian fall into a moment of embarrassment, and from this he also knew that Su Xiaocao was not a little girl who didn't understand the world. Since he couldn't easily gain Su Xiaocao's trust, he also became more straightforward, and said again as soon as his tone changed.

"Now Su Lao has lost his life on the official's land, although Su Lao has been dismissed, but he was always an official of the imperial court when he was a monk, so this official has the responsibility to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I hope Miss Su will cooperate!"

"As the prefect, do you still don't know the reason, I'm afraid that the prefect dares to investigate but doesn't dare to handle the case, so why bother with it. If you are not careful, you may get into trouble for this, and you are not afraid that the adults will know that as long as the folk girl takes care of her father's funeral, she will go to Beijing to end the matter by herself, so please also tell the adult where the corpse of the folk daughter's father is now placed? ”

"Hahaha......"

Lei Xiaotian suddenly got up and laughed twice to hide the anger in his heart. Su Xiaocao's words could not be more direct, and they insulted Lei Xiaotian himself to a great extent.

But he was only angry in his heart, and he didn't show it, Su Xiaocao was completely weak in his current situation. But because she was entangled in the affairs of the Thirteen Princes, she became a lot of uncertainties.

Regardless of whether she is alive or dead, Lei Xiaotian does not need to participate in such a thing, and Lei Xiaotian is still quite happy when he learns that she is going to end it on her own.

At least as long as Su Xiaocao is willing to stand up and take care of the matter, the matter of the two killed subordinates of the Thirteenth Prince will naturally not need him to pay attention to it. He can be regarded as a successful completion of the promise of the Ye family's father and son, and he can even make a lot of money in this matter.

"Since Miss Su has her own fixed number, then as you said, this official will not participate. Su Lao's body is parked in the mansion, and Miss Su can come to pick it up at any time and say goodbye! ”

Lei Xiaotian got an unexpected gain, and he no longer cared about Su Xiaocao's rudeness to him just now, and left in a hurry with more than a dozen errands.

Su Xiaocao looked at the empty old house, and felt irritable for no reason, but when she saw the big pool of blood on the floor of the main hall, she became inexplicably sad again.

Think about my father's incorruptibility in the court, but in the end ended up like this, when my father was in the official position, people who had grievances and came to ask for their lives could collapse their doors every day.

But my father had a grudge against most of the people in the court for these people, and when he was dismissed, he didn't see anyone come to help. The human affection is weak and the world is cold, Su Xiaocao has really experienced it, and at this moment, she can't trust anyone in her heart.

She doesn't want to ask anyone to avenge herself and her father, she always has to rely on herself to be a man, and if she wants to avenge her father, it is safest for her to implement it herself.

Su Xiaocao cleaned up her mood, silently took out all the silver in the house, and after counting it, she found that there were only a dozen taels left. This amount of money is obviously not enough to help bury your father, but you want to go there to borrow money for a while?

Su Xiaocao bit her lower lip lightly, her face showed a hint of determination, and after looking around the old house, she took out the title deed of the old house and went to the market alone.
