When the thief was brought to the flower hall, the sound of bangs outside was already slow and fast, and the night breeze of the third watch blew people's necks cold.

Lige wrapped his new coat tightly and stood up, looking carefully at the woman kneeling on the ground.

According to what Zhuying said, by asking the maid in the back kitchen, she found that before the fire in the Begonia Garden, only this Chen woman did not stay in the room, and asked her whereabouts, but she refused to say for a long time.

In a fit of rage, he tied her up first, so that Lige could identify whether it was the assassin outside the window tonight.

Li Ge approached Lady Chen, who was burying her head at the moment, unable to see the expression on her face. I saw that she was obese, her skin was dark, and her dark blue coarse cloth shirt had been washed and turned white. Looking upward, there was only a white silk flower pinned to the woman's yellow and gray hair.

Lige's heart tightened, he looked directly at the woman and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you have bad intentions towards Miss Ben? ”

It was almost certain that Lady Chen was the one who appeared outside her door with a knife tonight. Not to mention that her body was similar to that of the thief, and the smell on her body was the same, but the shape of the white silk flower was almost exactly the same as the one reflected in the window.

Li Yu was still sitting on the side, his eyes cold, and his slender white fingers were tapping on the table again and again.

He really wanted to know if there was any other person in Nan Chu who wanted to beat his sister, he thought that over the years, those people had learned to be well-behaved, but he didn't expect it.

In addition to the Liyu brothers and sisters, there are also Xiaoqiu in the flower hall, chasing shadows and chasing the wind, at this moment, the five of them are all looking at Mrs. Chen with the same look.

The temperature in the hall plummeted, and a pin drop could be heard.

After a while, Lady Chen raised her head tremblingly, she only stared at Lige, and there was anger and hatred in her eyes that could not be hidden.

Seeing Lady Chen's face, Lige frowned, this person seemed to have seen it somewhere.

And Xiaoqiu's shoulders on the side also trembled, her eyes widened suddenly, she was holding the handkerchief in her hand, and cold sweat was already crawling on her forehead.

This is a man she has only seen before.

Half loud, I left the song and remembered who the woman in front of me was.

A few years ago, she once led someone to teach an unscrupulous scholar, and this woman was the scholar's mother.

"Are you Aunt Li? Li Huai's mother? Lige asked.

When the woman Chen, who had been kneeling quietly, heard this, she suddenly laughed, her laughter was sharp and cold, and with a knife in her eyes, she stabbed straight at Lige.

Li Ge was so frightened that she took a few steps back, she held her chest and looked at Lady Chen in horror. At this moment, Li Yu had already gotten up, protected her tightly behind her, and stared coldly at the woman who was stunned underground.

Woman Chen laughed for a long time, almost out of breath, and it took a long time to recover, and her fire-breathing eyes stared at Lige: "You vicious, you don't deserve to call my son's name!" ”

Lige stood behind and observed Woman Chen's words and deeds, and had doubts.

The grievance between her and Li Xiucai has already passed for a few months, if the Li family wants to seek revenge, they will not wait until today, or let a woman like Mrs. Chen come.

Looking at the white silk flower on Lady Chen's head again, Li Ge was afraid that he had an answer in his heart, but he didn't want to believe it. She walked out from behind Liyu: "Li Gouzi, what's wrong with him?" ”

The woman Chen, who was still laughing a moment ago, suddenly burst into tears when she heard this, tears as big as beans, one after another.

She sat on the ground, not screaming in tears, just tugging at her chest in pain, followed by a few more punches. Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she viciously threw herself at Lige.

Before he touched the corner of Lige's clothes, he was kicked away by Liyu, who was protecting his head, and rolled around.

The woman Chen, who had been kicked, finally calmed down, with tears on her face, tears in her eyes, and her voice was sad: "My Huai'er, you are so ruthless, how can you bear to leave your mother and go alone." ”

After wailing a few times, he glared at Lige again, gritted his back molars, and said, "It's all your fault!" You ruthless woman! If you hadn't broken my son's hand, he wouldn't have been depressed all day, and he wouldn't have thought about it. Hand is the lifeblood of a scholar, and my son still wants to take a pen to gain fame. On weekdays, we are reluctant to let him light the oil lamp by himself, you are good! Without saying a word, he broke my son's hand! You, a woman, rely on the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, do whatever you want, disregard human life, and lose your conscience so much, today's old woman and I just want to do the right thing for heaven! Except for you, a witch! ”

Woman Chen was screaming hysterically, crying and laughing, as if she was enchanted.

After listening to Lady Chen's words, Lige's expression changed suddenly, and her already pale face became more and more bloodless, she subconsciously bit her lip, her hands in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

Xu is because she has no father and mother since she was a child, and she is especially envious of the people whose parents are still alive, and similarly, she especially hates the unfilial son who does not know how to cherish and is not filial to her father and mother, and Li Huai happens to be this kind of person.

Although he reads the books of sages, his bones are no different from ordinary market hooligans, his behavior is not good, and his character is even worse to the end, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all kinds of bumps.

There are many unscrupulous people in Jinling City, but he is the only one who abuses his father and mother in front of Lige and does something to his father.

Lige couldn't see it, and found someone to teach him a lesson for his father, especially breaking his hand that shook the dice.

But Lige clearly instructed him not to really break his tendons and let him ache for half a month. She can see injustices and simply teach bad and unrighteous people, but she has no right to cut off the lives of others, and if so, what is the difference between her and those people.

However, how could what she thought to be a righteous act become like this? How could Li Huai be depressed because of a hand injury, or even find a way to die?

She remembered that she had seen him on the day of the Duanyang Festival. He set up a shop, hung calligraphy and paintings, combed his hair neatly, dressed in a white shirt, and discussed his paintings with his guests with great energy. At that time, he was standing and talking to people, without a pen on paper, and he couldn't tell if his hand was still hurt, but just by looking at his expression, he couldn't see the trend of decadence at all.

It's just that Mrs. Chen's reaction doesn't seem to be fake, she dotes on her son so much, she definitely won't risk her with his life. The Li gouzi, who likes to call her away from the tiger, is afraid that something has really happened.

Woman Chen was still crying, and Lige's heart was so sour that she pinched her palms to hold back her tears.

She was about to ask Mrs. Chen if Li Huai had left any letters when she died, but she really couldn't believe that the people who called her name heartily on Suzaku Street would die of depression because of her.

She had barely taken a step when Lady Chen began to smile at her again. The laughter was sharper than the previous one, and the sound was like the tip of a fingernail sliding through a leather wooden door, which was creepy.

Lige hesitated for a moment, then bit his lower lip and stood still.

Li Yu took another big stride, walked in front of her and blocked her body, gritted his teeth, and stared at the woman who was going crazy at the moment.

And Xiaoqiu behind her, seeing that Lady Chen swept towards the place where the porcelain bowl was placed on the table, her temples jumped suddenly, her heart beat faster, and she almost messed up the beat. She covered her heart, with a white face, and silently recited a few Buddhist scriptures.

The sharp laughter stopped, and the Chen woman sneered again, her eyes were empty, and said: "God has mercy on my wife and her blood and revenge, and I have been assigned a living Bodhisattva, finally, I can look at it today." You can go to see my Huai'er early, oh, and my wife, he left a few days early, I don't know if I saw Huai'er, I don't know if they are waiting for me. ”

Lady Chen's muttering made a room full of people panic, she obviously didn't succeed today, how can she take revenge for revenge, you can turn a blind eye.

Chasing Shadow and Chasing Wind vigilantly observed the movement outside, Li Yu stepped forward, gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you do?" Say it, your true appearance can give you a decent way to die! ”

Who knows, Mrs. Chen's heart is already dead, she reached out to her lips without care, made a silent movement, and said nervously: "Don't worry, I'll know soon." ”

Xiaoqiu wrinkled her eyebrows and pondered, and the bad premonition in her heart became clearer and clearer. She raised her feet and walked towards Liyu with difficulty, her lips were completely colorless, and her voice and body were trembling: "Xiangye, Miss Fresh's soothing tea just now, yes, she boiled it, in the tea, I'm afraid of it, I'm afraid of it." ”

The voice was stalking, and Xiaoqiu's words were intermittent.

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Chen laughed again, holding her abdomen with one hand and hammering the ground with the other, opening her mouth wide, almost laughing out of breath.

Xu is heart is strange, Lige was originally in no abnormality, but after hearing that he had been poisoned, he suddenly noticed that something was stirring in his stomach.

One by one, it was as if thousands of worms were wriggling around her internal organs.

Lige wanted to continue to feel the direction of the foreign body in his body, but suddenly the back of his neck hurt, and his eyes went dark.

"The subordinates have sealed the acupuncture points of the young lady to avoid the spread of toxicity." Shadow catches the fallen Lige and explains to Liyu.

And Xiaoqiu, who happened to sit next to Lige, although he didn't cry out of a voice, when the tears on his face didn't stop, he took Lige's hand and looked at Liyu with teary eyes.

"Antidote." Liyu's consciousness was a little sluggish, his bloodless lips moved, and as soon as Lige fell, he seemed to be choked by the throat, and the pain was so painful that he was about to suffocate to death.

It's just that he can't fall down yet, and he is still lying down from the song, and he must not fall.

"If you don't pay it, tomorrow, the prime minister will order someone to dig up your son's grave, whip the corpse to show the public, and crush the bones and scatter ashes."

Li Yu said word by word, the voice was not loud, but it was enough to give Lady Chen a fatal blow, and she was completely frightened at this moment.

She crawled to Liyu, grabbed his shoes and kowtowed: "There is no antidote!" That man didn't give me an antidote! The sin was made by the old woman, Xiangye took the old woman's bones and scattered ashes, please raise your noble hand and let my son go, my son has suffered enough sins in this life, let him go in peace, I beg you, I beg you. ”

In just a few strokes, Woman Chen's forehead burst with blood.

"If you want Benxiang to let your son go, you can, decide it yourself." Liyu pulled out the knife chasing the wind and threw it down.

As soon as the words fell, Woman Chen thanked her, and without hesitation, she stabbed her chest with a knife, and for a while, the smell of blood blew in the air.

Xiaoqiu covered her mouth, turned her face to the side, and retched.

"Chase, help me." Li Yu's eyes were blank and frightened, his hands and feet were shaking so badly that he couldn't do anything. "Help me carry Xiao Wan back to the house."

Chaying answered, picked up the song and left quickly.

"Chasing the wind, go to His Royal Highness King Chen, Lu Feng is his person."

Chasing the wind responded with a fist and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

"Xiaoqiu, come and help me."
