Chapter 10: The Truth

Seeing this scene, if Xie Mulin couldn't guess what the relationship between Cao and this strange man was, it would have been in vain for more than 20 years of her life that had been poisoned by various bloody film and television dramas, novels and news gossip.

Cao's actually had an extramarital affair!

That's it, anyway, Xie Pu is not a good man with single-minded feelings. Although he was not very interested in Cao's forced sales to the door at the time, he also married people home and gave birth to children, in addition to Cao's and Wen's, he also accepted three other concubines and also had children. If Cao is not angry and wants to pursue true love in another way, it is also her freedom.

The question is, now Xie Puzheng is unlucky, she has a secret meeting with her lover in private, what is her idea?

But don't see that Xie Pu's situation is not good, so you just kick him away and find another spring, right?

Without the help of the Cao family, would Xie Pu not be able to escape the fate of robbing his family and going to prison? Xie Mulin's little heart couldn't help but feel cold.

Cao Shi and the man were excited for a while, and after getting close to each other for a while, the latter asked, "Shuqing, are you okay?" I've wronged you. I am only a lieutenant general now, and I have not been able to subdue everyone under me except for a few personal soldiers and three or five colleagues who have been together on weekdays. The commander of the Praetorian Guard is also the emperor's confidant, and I have to be careful in everything under his nose, so as not to let him seize the handle. Although I was the leader in the matter of raiding the house, most of the people who accompanied me were the people who led the way. It is not easy for me to do any more, except to put you in the upper room, so that you will not suffer too much, and any more will arouse suspicion. ”

Cao Shi choked up and said, "What kind of grievance is this?" Since the Chinese New Year, I met you in a hurry in Bofu, and it has been more than a month. I think about it day and night, and I look forward to when I can see you again. Now that my wish has been fulfilled, what does it matter if I suffer some sin? ”

The man sighed, "But I can't see you suffering." It's still February, and the night is very cold and windy. Although this upper room is good, but no one is burning a fire day and night to keep warm, what good can it be with the two bags of silver frost charcoal you prepared in advance? If you stay here for a day and a half, it will drag on for three or four days, and the iron beaten people will not be able to stay up, so what if you get sick? Doesn't it make me feel distressed to death? ”

Cao Shi lowered his head and wiped his tears with a handkerchief: "I'm fine, I don't lack food and clothing, and the people around me serve me wholeheartedly, you don't have to worry about me." It's just that the two children are weak, and they don't know the truth, they are frightened by the officers and soldiers, and they are always worried about their father, which seems to be a little bad. I hope that I can take them back to Bofu as soon as possible and ask a doctor to recuperate. Brother Wenshan, when will you finish your business? Haven't you found the letter yet? ”

The man was solemn: "It is precisely because we have not found the letter for a long time that we have delayed it for a long time. Shuqing, if you think about it carefully, do you remember the wrong place? Otherwise, I'd already searched the study three times, and I searched everywhere, how could I not find the letter?! If you delay any longer, I'm afraid that others will hit you in the upper room. At that time, even if I have the heart to protect your mother and son, I will have to do some superficial work to move you out. At that time, let alone two children, I'm afraid that even you won't be able to stand it. ”

Cao Shi bit the corner of his handkerchief: "Earlier, I asked Mother Qian to deliver a message to you, saying that one of my concubines was suspicious, and Hui'er said that she went to the study when she was feasting." Have you searched her house? Mother Qian should have told you the location, right? ”

The man nodded: "I have searched it, I have searched it twice inside and out, and I have even checked the locked cages in those places, but I have not found the letter." Shuqing, are you sure that the letter was really stolen by that maid? ”

Cao Shi was not sure: "She refused to confess what she took from the study, and I am not sure to say it clearly, and I am even more worried that Xianzhi will be suspicious." Now I can only suspect that the letter is on her, or that she has hidden it somewhere in the upper room, and that it is being quietly searched. ”

The man sighed: "I can't care about this much now, it's important to find out the letter quickly!" The Wang family had already handed over the pleadings to Dali Temple, and if they wanted to convict Xie Pu, they would send that letter as ironclad evidence. Without the letter, there is no way to connect the large sum of money that disappeared from the river workers with Xie Pu. The rest of the so-called incriminating evidence is just chasing after the wind. Dali Siqing is a person who admits death, and will never sentence Xie Pu to death because of these true and false evidence. His guilt cannot be punished, the unlucky one is the Wang family, if the Cao family and the Cheng family are implicated, your brother will be in trouble! And you and I have been cherishing for many years, and it is difficult to get it fulfilled one day. This matter is related to you and me for life, and it should not be neglected. Even if you suspect something, he's just a child, and you can just coax him afterwards. After all, he is your own child, can he still go against your will? ”

Cao Shi pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "If it is not a last resort, I really don't want Xianzhi to know the truth." This kid loves more seriously, I'm afraid he won't be able to think about it......"

The man interrupted her: "Shuqing! We're running out of time, the big picture matters! What's more, if this matter is undecided, you will also be trapped in this mansion and unable to get out. Don't you worry about the health of your two children? ”

Cao's face changed, and he grabbed his collar: "You are right......"

However, she always felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Wenshan, are you sure that the letter is not somewhere else?" What if I can't find anything from the three girls? Can you fake another one? Since you can make the first letter, the second letter must be fine, right? ”

The man shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's too late!" In order to forge the letter that day, the Wang family spent a lot of effort. I heard that in order to prevent the news from leaking, they also killed the people who made the faith. Now that the arrow is on the bow, where can I find such a capable person? The most important thing is that although the letter is fake, the private seal above it is true. But now the private seal has long been copied, and it is not in my hands, so it is impossible to borrow it. You don't have to think about it, just search for letters. I led people to search the house several times, and as long as the letter was not destroyed, there would always be a day when it was found. ”

Cao Shi sighed, nodded silently, and hesitated again: "Brother Wenshan, if Xie Pu's crime is confirmed, is it ...... Can't escape the death penalty? Can't you spare his life? Somehow...... He is also the biological father of my two children. Back then, it was my brother who took a fancy to his family's money, so he had to marry me into the Xie family. In the past ten years, I don't know how much silver I have taken from the Xie family, and he has turned one eye open and one eye closed. Now that it is to exonerate my in-laws, I have calculated on his head, and I am really uneasy. We just need his fortune, don't want his life, right? ”

The man raised his eyes and looked at her seriously: "Shuqing, could it be that you have been a husband and wife with him for more than ten years, and you have a true love for him?" If he doesn't die, how can you and I stay together? How can this Xie family's millions of furniture fall into the hands of your brothers and sisters? If he does not die...... I'm afraid that if the truth is involved, it will kill all of us! Shuqing, have you forgotten your brother's big plan, and you really want to be emotional? ”

Cao's face turned pale again.

The man looked at the sky: "In the name of supper, I took away the officers and soldiers who were originally guarding the upper room, so that I could win this quarter of an hour to meet you." Now that the hour is almost up, if you don't leave, you will only be suspicious. Don't be cranky, just follow the plan. As for Xie Pu's life and death, it is decided by the emperor, and after the conviction, you can find a way to save people. ”

He kissed Cao's hand and turned to leave. Cao wanted to stop him, but he was afraid that the sound would be heard, so he had to slowly close the window again and bolt it.

Xie Mulin gritted her teeth secretly in the dark, thinking that she finally knew what Xie Yingrong had stolen.
