Chapter 429: Dreaming Back at Midnight, Aren't You Afraid That They Will Come to You?
"I don't know what benefits your instructors promised you, but if you still remember the cruelty of those soldiers when they defended the city, and remember their kindness to protect you until death."
"You should touch your own conscience and ask yourself."
Su Ruan's eyebrows were slightly cold, and his words were like knives.
"They saved the lives of the whole city and saved you from fire and water, but now you have come to harm their relatives."
"Aren't you afraid that they will come to you in the middle of the night?"
Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, and she fell to the ground as soon as her legs became weak.
"No, no......"
"I didn't want to kill them, I didn't think about it...... I thought it was just a laxative, and he told me it was just a laxative......"
She shook her head in panic, and her mouth was intermittent,
"I was deceived by him too."
Qi Wenfu had not spoken before, but at this time, seeing that Mrs. Wang was broken by Su Ruan's defense, she also confided in her previous affairs, and hurriedly asked, "Who is he?" Who told you to put laxatives? ”
Mrs. Wang's face was white, "Tao Xiucai, he was found by the people of the government to teach those children, and as a result, he quarreled with others, and an old woman was angry and said that he was a poor Xiucai with no money and no power, and said that his family might be in trouble." ”
"Tao Xiucai came to me and said that those people always laughed at him secretly, so he gave me two taels of silver and asked me to teach them some laxatives to teach them a lesson."
"I ...... I was short on money, and I was confused for a moment before I agreed to him, I really didn't know it was poison, I thought it was ...... I thought it was just laxatives......"
How could she have thought that the talented man who looked at Si Swenwen would actually give her poison and almost poison someone.
Qi Wenfu said in a deep voice: "Then what did you run later?" ”
Mrs. Wang said with tears in her eyes: "I didn't dare to keep it, I thought it was a laxative at first, but I was afraid that something would really happen, so I quietly followed after the meal was delivered, but I didn't expect someone to vomit blood after taking a bite." ”
She actually doesn't have too much bad intentions, and she doesn't dare to do things like killing people and setting fires, but she feels that these people are envied by the government's good food and drink, and there are a few mothers-in-law and women in them who talk arrogantly, one by one, their sons and brothers saved the lives of Jingzhou people, and even the emperor rewarded them, and everyone in Jingzhou should owe them.
Those people didn't speak well, and Mrs. Wang had a quarrel with two of them.
She thought about the joke after she took the laxative, but she didn't expect the joke to be done, the laxative became poison, and after someone vomited blood, those people smashed the dishes and chopsticks and rushed out, and they fought with the people outside.
Mrs. Wang was shrewd, and when she saw that something was wrong, she ran away.
After she hid, she heard at night that those people actually killed people from the government and killed people.
Wang Pozi was so frightened that she didn't dare to go back, she used the past to find a troupe for helpers, hid in it to wash clothes for people, and quietly inquired about the news outside, while trying to find a way to get out of the city.
didn't expect that Jingzhou would be under martial law after that day, and she was found by someone before she could find a chance to get out.
Mrs. Wang was frightened, and explained the matter clearly, and Qi Wenfu couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
Qi Wenfu said in a deep voice: "Have you seen Tao Xiucai since that day?" ”
Mrs. Wang shook her head and said pitifully: "At that time, after those people broke out, Tao Xiucai also ran away, and then I have been hiding these days and have not seen him again." ”
Although they all knew that Tao Xiu had a problem, and if he could make such a big play with all his might, it would be impossible for people to find him easily, but they still had a glimmer of hope.
Seeing that Mrs. Wang said that she didn't know, Mo Linglan sighed: "Since that Tao Xiucai has a problem, I'm afraid he will never show up again afterwards, and he was picked up by Ye Ping from the side of the road, who knows whether his Xiucai and surname are true or false, and his identity is forged." ”
"So, the trail is broken again?"
The eldest brother of the Mo family frowned, and his face was a little worried:
"Zirong, since the incident in Jingnan, there have been many people outside staring here, and after you and Su Ruan set up the Bo family and the second prince, it has attracted a lot of people's attention."
"Before, since you went south, there have been people along the road, and when the official ship arrived on the shore, there were at least three groups of people following, and now you can't hide your whereabouts after entering the mansion."
"In the past two days, someone in Beijing has begun to inquire about the progress of the case here, even if you ask Xuan Longan not to return to this matter for the time being, but those people will also send a message back to Beijing, and if they tell the palace the news of the death of the official here, then your situation will be passive."
Qi Wenfu was originally sent by Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty to Jingnan to deal with this case, and it stands to reason that everything must be returned to Beijing, and those people in Jingnan "murdered" court officials.
If Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty trusted the Qi Wen Mansion, he would naturally wait for him to dispose of it before returning to the court.
But the key is that he doesn't trust Qi Wenfu so much now, and even experienced the last time Qi Wenfu brought Su Ruan and Jingnan to sue the emperor, put Emperor Ming Xuan on fire, and forced him to punish the Bo family and the second prince.
Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty had doubts about Qi Wenfu in his heart, and he was far less close to him than before.
If this matter was told to him by others, but there was no news from Qi Wenfu, and even deliberately concealed it, what would Emperor Ming Xuan think of Qi Wenfu?
Will he think that Qi Wenfu has lost his loyalty, and even suspects that Qi Wenfu and Jing Nan have already colluded, and turned over the old case of Jing Nan, which had been suppressed, again, and settled accounts with Qi Wenfu after the autumn?
The eyes of the eldest brother of the Mo family were full of worry,
"If we can't find those people as soon as possible, I'm afraid that things will get bigger, and there will really be no way to clean them up then."
The words of the eldest brother of the Mo family made the other people look worried.
Su Ruan pursed her lips and looked at Qi Wenfu, she knew Emperor Ming Xuan's temperament better than the others, and she also knew better how difficult Qi Wenfu's situation would be if this news really spread from other people's mouths to Emperor Ming Xuan's ears.
In the previous incident, although the Qi Wen Mansion did it won the hearts of the people, it offended many people in the court.
Under the interests of the Bo family, countless people have been implicated, and now there are still many people who are officials in the court, but they have left the relationship when they first noticed that something was wrong, or they are people whose deeds have never been discovered.
These people are afraid of the current situation, although they will not do it on weekdays, but once something goes wrong on the side of Qiwen Mansion, they will not mind falling into the ground.
