Chapter Twenty-Eight: Crimes Under the Moon

When Zong Jiyuan saw it, he immediately poured her a cup of hot tea and comforted her.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens to you, or what happens, I hope Miss Xiaoyun believes in Lord He and believes that our county government will definitely protect you."

"Okay, thank you, thank you, master......"

I don't know why, while nodding in agreement, Ji Xiaoyun seemed to involuntarily glance at Wang Yu beside him, and said,

"Master, you're still looking for the other girls who were robbed into the Hu Mansion, right?"

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan nodded and said,

"In the eyes of their families, they have disappeared inexplicably, and their relatives have been looking forward to finding their children for so long."

"But they won't come back!"

Hearing her words, Ji Xiaoyun suddenly collapsed and said loudly.

In this way, even Zong Jiyuan was taken aback, and hurriedly asked,

"Miss Xiaoyun, where did you start with this, what is going on, can you tell me in detail?"

"I really can't take it anymore......"

Tears kept flowing down Ji Xiaoyun's face,

"What Madame Hu said about sending them away is not as simple as you think, in fact, what she really means by 'sending them away' is to kill them......

"What?!"

Although he had already thought that the fate of the rest of the girls was likely to be bad, he didn't expect it to be like this, Zong Jiyuan couldn't hold his breath anymore,

"So, Miss Xiaoyun, how did you know about this? Did you see it with your own eyes? ”

"yes, I saw it with my own eyes......"

Ji Xiaoyun cried so much that he couldn't stop crying, and after a while, he calmed down a little, and recalled,

"I was plundered into the Hu Mansion the summer before last, and a few days before me, there was a girl who was robbed there, like a girl with the surname Feng, who looked younger than me."

"Is your surname Feng?"

In order to relieve her tension and pressure, Zong Jiyuan deliberately talked to Ji Xiaoyun in order to relax.

"Yes, there is indeed a little girl surnamed Feng among the missing girls, who was only sixteen years old when she reported the crime."

"That must be her,"

Ji Xiaoyun nodded again and again, and said,

"That Miss Feng was probably because she was young, and she cried all day after she was robbed. On the second day after I was taken away, I heard what Mr. Hu said, 'I'm tired of crying', so I asked Mrs. Hu to send her away. But that night, because I was so scared, I couldn't sleep well, so in the middle of the night I heard something moving in the courtyard, and in curiosity, I quietly looked out of the crack in the window, but I saw and saw ......"

"It's okay, don't be afraid, settle down and speak slowly."

Knowing that she was about to talk about the most frightening place, Zong Jiyuan comforted softly again.

Sure enough, just as Ji Yuan expected, the scene that Ji Xiaoyun saw that night really made her tremble all the time from then on, like an invisible demon that occupied her psyche......

Originally, when he was first robbed into Hu's house, he still fantasized about having a chance to escape, so he kept sleeping and eating restlessly until there was a sound of "rustling" from the courtyard, mixed with some strange sound of struggle.

The moonlight was not very bright that night, so I could only tell that it was a few people, as if they were carrying something out. But as they walked, the thing that was being carried writhed violently, and those people should have been defenseless, so that the carrying in their hands fell to the ground at once.

To Ji Xiaoyun's surprise, it was a quilt, and the person rolling in it was actually a person.

After falling to the ground, the man scrambled to his feet and fled like crazy, while one of the men next to him shouted,

"What are you looking at?! Get this little slut back for me! ”

It's Mrs. Hu –

Ji Xiaoyun clearly remembered her voice, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

The man who tried to escape did not run a few steps before he was pinned to the ground by the evil slaves who pounced on him from behind. At that moment, her desperate screams let Ji Xiaoyun know who this miserable girl really was.

Then came deathly silence, and after a long time a wicked slave ran back and whispered,

"Master, that little girl, she is dead......

Under the dim moonlight, Mrs. Hu seemed to be slightly stunned when she heard the reply, and then scolded,

"Really, it's another loss-making deal...... Okay, don't be stunned, get it in the back garden and bury it in the lotus pond. ”

"Yes."

The slaves agreed, and dragged the girl away in the dark......

Fate is really cruel, it is so that such a girl from an ordinary people's family has witnessed such a terrifying scene, no wonder Ji Xiaoyun's expression has always been so melancholy, I really can't imagine how she has endured these and survived alone for more than a year.

While thinking, Zong Jiyuan comforted,

"Miss Xiaoyun, I thank you for those girls who have sunk unjustly at the bottom of the sea, in addition, please don't be afraid, everything is over, and our county government will definitely protect you."

"Thank you, Master......"

Probably able to spit out the pain buried in his heart, Ji Xiaoyun seemed to be completely calm, and nodded his head again and again.

After appeasing the poor girl, Zong Jiyuan stood up and walked out, and Wang Yu, who had always been with him, saw it and asked busily,

"Grandmaster, are you going to Hu Mansion?"

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan glanced back at him and said,

"I'll go say hello to the adults and go over, please stay here with Miss Xiaoyun."

"Huh? I think I'd better go with you,"

Wang Yu came to her in a few steps,

"After all, I'm still familiar with the situation in the Hu Mansion, so it's good to show you the way or something."

"Oh? Well,"

After a little contemplation, Zong Jiyuan nodded,

"You wait for me for a while, I'll go and see the adults and leave."

As he spoke, he walked quickly to the second hall and briefly explained the situation he had just learned, and he was also surprised when he heard it, and instructed her to bring a few people over first, and then he would send a servant to go.

After confessing, Zong Jiyuan and Wang Yu came directly to the Hu Mansion together. Seeing them coming from afar, Diao Saburo and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised, so they greeted them, still joking on their lips,

"What's the matter, master, could it be that you're inviting us to lunch again?"

"Third Brother Diao, I'm not in a hurry to eat lunch first, but I have found a new clue."

Soyoshi Yuan said as he jumped off his horse.
