Chapter 497: Cutting the Grass and Eradicating the Roots (2)

Fu Ran was upset and irritable, went to the calligraphy and painting shop on the street, bought three calligraphy and paintings, and went home when his mood improved.

Seeing Xin'er in the front yard, Fu Ran frowned and said, "Why are you here, who will take care of Brother Ye?" ”

Xin'er smiled and said, "What about sleeping in the house?" Ever since you went out and slept until now, this kid has never slept that long. ”

Fu Ran couldn't help but think of what Qi Lao Er said, and hurriedly went to her bedroom. When she walked to the bedside, she saw a clear finger print on Ye Ge'er's neck.

The hand reached over to test whether the child was still breathing, but accidentally touched Ye Ge'er's skin. This skin is cold and cold.

As soon as his legs were weak, Fu Ran sat on the edge of the bed.

Xin'er said in disbelief: "I was fine when I put him in bed, how could this be?" ”

Fu Ran hugged Ye Ge'er's corpse, and said with red eyes: "He is just a child who doesn't understand anything, how can he be so poisonous." ”

Xin'er thought that Fu Ran was talking about her, and cried and said, "Sir, it's not me." ”

"I know it's not you, but we need to find the killer."

has been by her side for many years, and she knows very well that Xin'er is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, even if she doesn't like Ye Ge'er, she will never poison him.

Aunt Chang hurriedly ran over when she heard the crying, and when she heard that Ye Ge'er was strangled to death, she was stunned and said, "Sir, no outsiders have come to the house today." ”

No outsiders came in, and the one who strangled Ye Ge'er must be someone from the family.

There are only two masters in the Fu house, Fu Ran and Fu Jingze, and in addition to the few servants who serve closely, there are only four mothers-in-law and a porter. The porter was not allowed to enter the backyard, and two of the four mothers-in-law worked in the kitchen, and the other two were responsible for sprinkling and sweeping.

called all the servants in the house in, only to find that the Xi Pozi who was sweeping the floor was gone.

Fu Ran couldn't understand how Mrs. Xi, who usually looked at her honest duties, could be so vicious and poison a child who was a few months old.

"Go to the official, go to the official immediately."

No matter what reason Mrs. Xi killed Ye Ge'er, killing someone will pay for her life.

An hour later, the official messenger found her body at the house of Mrs. Xi's son, and Mrs. Xi hanged herself.

In the evening, Qi Lao Er came over, sighed when he heard this, and said to Fu Ran: "Sir, you don't have to be sad, the children left in the third room of the Luo family are all the unclean things they ate last night." ”

Fu Ran's whole body was cold: "Why? Luo Yongliang and Luo Yongkang deserve to die, but these children are innocent, why do they do such a poisonous act? ”

Qi Lao Er said: "The person behind this scene should have a blood feud with the Luo family, so he wants to kill all the people of the Luo family." ”

Fu Ran trembled and said, "What do you mean, those who are exiled will not be able to live." ”

Qi Lao Er nodded.

"Then, that Jingshu won't be able to live."

Qi Lao Er was silent and said, "Sir, I guess that Miss Jing Shu may have fallen into the hands of the enemy. ”

At this time, Xin'er said outside: "Sir, Master Chang is back. ”

After Master Chang came in, he handed a thick letter to Fu Ran: "Sir, this is what the girl brought to you." ”

After reading the letter, Fu Ran's tears couldn't help but fall.

Xin'er felt Fu Ran's situation, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what did the girl say in the letter?" ”

Fu Ran wiped her tears and said, "Qingshu said in the letter that let's go to Mrs. Zhu, and said that Mrs. Zhu can save Luo Jingshu." If I had received this letter a few days earlier, I would have been able to save Miss Jing, but now, it's too late. ”

This is also Luo Jingshu's life.

Aunt Chang couldn't help but ask her husband: "Boss, didn't you go to the capital that day and told you to come back within half a month, why was it so late?" ”

Master Chang said with a heavy heart: "As soon as I arrived in the capital, I fell ill, I had a fever and couldn't hurry, and it took five days to recover. ”

"Maybe it's fate!"

Xin'er saw Fu Ran's uncomfortable appearance and said, "Sir, why don't we go and ask the old lady Zhu and ask her to help find Miss Jingshu." I wish the old lady is the governor's wife, as long as she agrees to help Miss Jingshu, she will definitely be able to find it back. ”

Fu Ran shook his head and said, "Do you think that person will still leave Jingshu in Jinling?" No, he must have taken Jingshu somewhere else. ”

It's okay to take it away, at least there is still life, I'm afraid that Jingshu's child has been tortured to death by the other party.

After half a month, Qi Lao Er came to the door to inform Fu Ran that the few people exiled in the third room of the Luo family were bandits on the road: "They are all dead, and none of them survived." ”

After hearing this, Fu Ran muttered to himself: "What is the difference between their current behavior and the people of the Luo family?" ”

Qi Lao Er shook his head and said, "Sir, these people's behavior is excessive. What can be sown is what cause and what effect, this is the retribution of the Luo family for many evils. ”

By all indications, this is not like seeking revenge, but like destroying the mouth. Therefore, Qi Lao Er suspected that the people behind this scene were likely to be accomplices of the Luo family, and they wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. It's just that he didn't dare to tell Fu Ran about this, so as not to cause unnecessary twists and turns.

Fu Ran said: "If Qingshu knows, how sad is it not to know? ”

Qi Lao Er said: "Miss Lin is a bodhisattva. It's just that she can't be blamed for this, she has done her best. ”

The icing on the cake is that there are many people, but there are very few people who send charcoal in the snow. Everyone in the affairs of the Luo family was afraid of being implicated and avoided, and Miss Lin was willing to help, which was very righteous.

It was also this night that Qingshu had a nightmare, and he kept shouting in his mouth not to, don't.

Shen'er was awakened, she lit the tung oil lamp and walked to the side of the bed to shake Qingshu awake: "Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Qingshu was still stunned after waking up, and said after a while: "I just dreamed that Sister Jingshu was killed. ”

Shen'er said: "Girl, I wish the old lady is the governor of Jiangnan, and since they promised to help, the Jingshu girl will definitely be fine." ”

"But there has been no news for so long, and I'm worried that something will happen." Qingshu regretted a little: "I knew that I would go back to Jinling by myself." ”

Shen'er was relieved: "Girl, don't worry, I think there should be news in two days." ”

"I'm afraid it's bad news."

Shen'er smiled and said, "Girl, you are too underestimated by the ability of the Zhu family." A dignified governor's palace, how can it not even be a little girl! ”

In fact, she knew in her heart that Qingshu was not underestimating the Zhu family, but caring about it.

"I originally thought that the Luo family was just doing business with inferior means, but I didn't expect them to collude with the bandits. I knew that I should have persuaded Sister Jingshu to come to the capital back then. ”

Luo Jingshu has a lot of room to operate in the capital, not as passive as she is now.

Shen'er shook her head and said, "Girl, who would have thought that the Luo family would be so bold and lawless. ”

Qingshu suddenly asked, "Sister Shen'er, do you say that King Xin knows about this?" ”

Shen'er was taken aback: "How could they let King Xin know about this kind of thing?" ”

Qingshu hummed and said, "You are right, I am cranky." ”
