Chapter 38: Confusion

Yi Yuan fell into a panic early in the morning.

Last night, Zhang Er went to the kitchen and heard Li De's words and knew that he was going back to the room, so he went upstairs later and helped Li De and his son to take leave. Who knew that he went to the door of Li De's room this morning, but saw that the door was not closed, and when he looked inside, he saw Li De and the woman lying in a pool of blood, and the blood had already dried up and turned black and brown. He hurriedly stumbled up to the second floor and slammed Li Yi's door loudly.

"Dead? Zhang Er, early in the morning, knocked so hard? Li Yi opened the door angrily and scolded.

"II...... Butler, you ...... Know? Zhang Er's lips trembled and asked.

"Know what?" Li Yi couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Dead ...... Dead. ”

"Who died?"

"Virtue ...... Morality...... Dego Dead ...... He's dead. ”

"What?" Li Yi grabbed Zhang Er's collar, couldn't believe his ears, and shouted, "Who did you say died?" ”

"Brother De...... He's dead. Zhang Er shrank his head and looked at Li Yi timidly.

Li Yi pushed Zhang Er away and stumbled towards the building.

The door next to the main hall on the second floor creaked open, and a woman's head stretched out, it was Chun'er! Zhang Er couldn't help but be stunned, wasn't Miss Juan inside? I saw her beckoning to Zhang Er, and Zhang Er hurriedly ran over.

"Childe asked you to come in, I have something to ask you."

Zhang Er hurriedly lowered his head and entered the house. Childe's voice came from inside: "Zhang Er, what did you just say to the second housekeeper?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, Brother De is dead."

"What?" I only heard a rush inside, and after a while, Li Xunzhou walked out of it and asked, "When is it?" ”

"When I went to call him in the morning, it was already like that."

"How so?" Li Xun stayed for a moment and looked at Chun'er.

Chun'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, I came back from the middle courtyard yesterday, and I have been with you all the time." Not our people. ”

"Who could that be?" Li Xunzhou said: "Let's go, let's take a look." ”

The three of them came to Li De's room, and Li Yi just stood there looking at Li De's corpse with tears on his face.

"Zhang Er, call a few people in your yard to send Li De to the side of Dongshanyin's house to be buried. This woman was rolled up in a mat and sent to a mass grave at the foot of the East Mountain to be buried. asked Maocai to send Miss Juan from Yi Xiangliao back, and the other woman, who gave one hundred taels of silver to the liao, said that we bought it. "The subordinates died and were buried next to the ancestral tomb of the Li Mansion, which is an honor for the descendants of the Li Mansion.

"Gongzi Xie." Li Yi saluted his son.

"Let's go up to the second floor and talk."

Zhang Er went to call someone, and Li Yi followed Li Xunzhou and Chun'er up to the main hall on the second floor.

"Who could have done this?" Li Xun turned his head and asked Li Yi: "Have you heard Dezi say that there are any enemies?" ”

"Enemies? In addition to having enmity with that stinky boy Niu Ba, who else will there be? ”

"It doesn't make sense, huh?"

"Childe, there is only one enemy, Niu Ba, who else can there be besides him."

"Niu Ba? What can that stinky boy do? ”

"I heard Dezi say that when he went to Haizhou before, he and Lao Wei tortured Niu Ba, saying that he was beaten half to death. Later, Lao Wei died, and some time ago, for the sake of Mu'er, Dezi suffered a loss. I heard that yesterday morning, he beat the old money in his yard again. ”

"Yesterday, he not only beat the old money in his yard, but also sold Xiaocui to the little leper."

"Huh?" Li Yi was stunned, why didn't the two sons discuss it with themselves: "Son, why don't you say something to the little one?" ”

"This was set by the mother before, and I only got the opportunity yesterday."

Hearing that it was decided by the mother, Li Yi was silent, and there was a pair of ears next to the mother.

"Won't leave any trouble, will it?"

"No, Qiu'er invited it, and Qiu'er was killed by me." Chun'er said expressionlessly.

"What...... What the? Li Xun was stunned and yelled at Chun'er: "You killed Qiu'er? ”

"What? Childe is distressed? Chun'er glanced at Li Xun coldly and said, "You still have few women?" ”

Li Xunzhou didn't say anything, but just glanced at Chun'er with hatred.

"But Niu Ba is just a kid, how can he ......," Li Yi muttered.

"He's got a master of hidden weapons by his side." Chun'er saw Li Xunzhou's sullen face, and knew that he couldn't press him too much, if he recklessly told Gengniang about his affair with him, then he would only die. , then turned his head to Li Xunzhou and smiled: "Isn't it just Qiu'er?" It's a big deal to let Miss Juan come a few more times in the future. ”

When Li Xun heard this, he couldn't help but smile on his face. Suddenly remembered that Li De was dead, and Li Yi was still beside him, so it was not good to laugh like this, and he was busy with his face. said to Li Yi: "We interviewed before, and there was a master around Niu Ba to protect him, I don't know if he sent that master over." ”

"Childe, we have to get rid of this cow as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Li Yi said viciously, since you kid is looking for death, let you die early!

"The guy we went there last time came back and said that the nerd next to him had brute strength and knew some tricks."

"I know that idiot, his name is Hanzi, and he is the son of Lao Qian. Whatever moves he can make, they are all fought in the fields. Li Yi said.

"Fighting in the fields?"

"In the fields and estates, those tenants will fight every year for water."

"That kid is not so easy to get, he has a master guard next to him, and that brute nerd is always by his side. The most infuriating thing was that the old witch was still protecting him. ”

Chun'er said: "I always wanted him to have an accident before, but now I don't need to, when the mother brings a few more people back, we will lure that kid out of the house and kill him outside." ”

When Li Yi heard this, he was stunned. Who the hell is this mother? How can there be a master to bring? Could it be that her hometown has a lot of power, so why is she willing to be a nurse in our Li Mansion?

Xiao Cui finally woke up and found that she was still in the cloth bag, and the smell of rancid scratching was disgusting. There was a sound of wooden wheels turning in his ears, and the bag seemed to be moving, but it was not like it, Xiao Cui gently touched the bottom of the bag with her elbow, and found that the bag was placed on the wooden board. This is in a carriage?

What about Qiu'er? Who put me in the bag? Where are you taking me? Xiao Cui didn't dare to make a sound, just thought silently, with a splitting headache and grogginess, she fell asleep again.

I don't know how long it took, but she woke up and turned around. I found myself tied hand and foot, lying in a pile of grass. I couldn't hear anything in my ears either. She opened her eyes and struggled to sit up against the wall.

It's a ruined temple with cobwebs all over the place. I can't see which way the gods are offered, and there is a thick layer of dust on the offering table that shows that the temple has been dilapidated for a long time. The place where I sat was really the back wall of this temple, and there were a lot of red offerings hanging down in front of me. There are many holes in the roof, and the sunlight leaking in is shining on the red cloth, and the red cloth is already red and white. The hem of the red offering cloth, because of the rain, rotted into strips of white hair, fluttering with the breeze.

The pile of grass sitting on it was not sharp but ravaged into a fluffy black one. You can also see some moldy steamed bun residue on this pampas grass.
