Chapter 41: It's You
Feng Xiang has a big case.
This case involves the Cao family, who was praised by the imperial court.
The Cao family's mansion is guarded by officers and soldiers inside and out, as long as the tax silver is found, the case can be closed, obviously the government has a good understanding of the whereabouts of the tax silver, otherwise Lord Wang Yun would not personally come forward to sit in the Cao family.
Everyone wants to know a result, whether the Cao family collaborated with the enemy back then.
But no matter who the real culprit is, the most pitiful are those who have been hurt in the case.
The elders of the Xu family came forward and finally took Master Xu San out of the prison.
"You, you shouldn't marry the Cao family," Old Lady Xu blamed her son, "We don't care about her grievances in the Cao family, but now that she has even ruined the Xu family, since you have long known about her elopement, why do you still come to the door to ask for relatives...... After Su Niang went, why did you become so stupid. ”
Hearing the name of the original wife's room, Master Xu San's back bowed deeper, and he muttered, "It's not about Su Niang." ”
"What should I do now," Old Lady Xu was silent for a while before continuing, "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, you ...... I can't look up outside. ”
Useless Xu Laosan, the brothers in the clan laughed at him behind his back, not only raised a son for others, but was almost regarded as a murderer, since he injured his leg, Xu Laosan is dead.
Master Xu San lowered his head, and the whole person seemed to have not recovered from the great changes.
"Did the yamen make it difficult for you?" Old Mrs. Xu couldn't help but say.
Master Xu San shook his head.
Mrs. Xu breathed a sigh of relief: "Go, take a good rest, you don't have to worry about things outside, your second brother is on top, I just hope that our family will not have any more accidents, alas, it will always get better in a few days." ”
The subordinate lifted his shoulders and helped Master Xu San up.
Master Xu San remembered something, and said in a hoarse voice: "I want to go to Yizhuang......"
Before she finished speaking, Old Lady Xu frowned: "You still have to take care of that...... The woman who hanged herself? ”
"She has taken care of the stone for many years, and I should bury her well," said Master Xu San, "at least...... Give her a good coffin, I'll ...... There's only so much more that can be done. ”
Mrs. Xu felt sour in her heart: "I'll send someone to go, your body is not good, it's better to rest." ”
Master Xu San nodded and never spoke again.
When Master Xu San was carried away, Mrs. An Yihou said: "If the third uncle's leg can be cured, and he often goes out and walks around, he can't say that his mood will improve." ”
Mrs. Xu sighed: "After he was injured back then, I invited a lot of Lang Zhong to treat him, thinking that one day he would get better, who knows...... It's just not improving, and now I don't dare to ask for these extravagantly. ”
Mrs. An Yihou has some understanding of Master Xu's injured leg: "I remember that Master Hou also asked Old Imperial Doctor Chen to see Sanbo, and at that time, Old Imperial Doctor Chen said that the injury on Sanbo's leg has been healed on the surface, and now he can't walk, I'm afraid that it will hurt the meridians, so I can only slowly recuperate." ”
Mrs. Xu mentioned that her eyes were a little damp in the past: "When your second brother took us out of the city, the rebels came to the city, and the third and second daughters-in-law and the third daughter-in-law all stayed in the old house, and the third and second daughters-in-law went to Cao's house to hide together, and the third took their families to help the officers and soldiers defend the city together...... Alas, I didn't expect that in the end, two people were killed and one was injured. ”
Mrs. An Yihou pondered for a moment and said, "The daughters of the Cao family are fine, why was the third sister-in-law killed by the rebels." ”
"She is not worried about the third child, after coming out of the Cao family, she took her close mother back to Xu's house to find the third child, but met the rebels on the road," Mrs. Xu likes this daughter-in-law the most, "That child has always been gentle and temperamental, and it is good for the third child to do things fairly at home, but our hearts, with her in our old things, we are at ease, and in the end, it is the white-haired person who sends the black-haired person."
You didn't see the tragic situation of the third daughter-in-law, the shoulders and back were cut out by the knife, the clothes on the body were soaked with blood, and we couldn't see it at all, we went out to look for several days before we found her body, after this happened for a long time, the third didn't want to talk to people, either locked himself in the house all day, or let people carry him out to look around, I asked the third child, what are you looking for?
He said that he wanted to get Su Niang back. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Xu choked up and couldn't continue.
Mrs. An Yihou hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Maybe after this incident, everything will be fine." ”
Mrs. Xu nodded: "I hope that the Bodhisattva will bless our Xu family." ”
The two of them were talking, and the next person came to say: "The third master has gone to Yizhuang with incense candles and paper money." ”
Mrs. Xu wanted to stop it, but Mrs. Xu said, "Let him go, he won't feel comfortable if he doesn't go." ”
……
No one wants to go to Yizhuang.
Every day, corpses were carried in and out, and the smell of burning paper could be smelled from a long distance, and the flying paper ashes were sandwiched in a rotten smell.
People's hearts will be inexplicably sad.
"That's it." Master Xu San sent his subordinates, carried the basket himself, and limped towards Yizhuang.
Today, there are very few people in Yizhuang.
Many people went to Cao's house to see the excitement, and some of the servants in the government were in Cao's house, and some followed Sun Chong and others out of the city.
After burning the paper in his hand, Master Xu San stood up and walked to the backyard, his feet were still a little dusty, but he walked very fast, and after a while, he found a horse in the forest not far from Yizhuang.
Master Xu San turned over and got on his horse all the way out of the city and headed towards Linyou County.
The government went to Qishan County in the east early this morning, because they found out that Master Cao had left the city and went east, and they thought that the silver hidden by the Cao family was in Qishan.
When they found the courtyard quietly arranged by Master Cao, they could dig up the silver, so they were really wrong.
The Cao family bought Zhuangzi and mansions in several nearby counties, and the silver could be hidden anywhere.
Mrs. Cao is meticulous, and even Master Cao may not know where the money is.
He has already learned the cunning of the Cao family over the years, otherwise he would not have stood still for many years.
Now, he finally knows the whereabouts of the silver, and no one can stop him anymore, including the Cao family.
The secret of the Cao family was revealed, and only by letting the silver disappear could the reputation of the Cao family be preserved, so when he took the silver away, Mrs. Cao not only did not make a noise, but even thanked him.
And all this has someone to bear all the sins, Second Master Xu planned the whole case, An Yihou...... There may also be collusion with the rebels.
After today's events, no one will look for the money again.
Seeing that the silver was sent out of the city, Master Xu San breathed a sigh of relief, he turned his horse's head and was about to go back, but he saw several officials coming from the official road.
There are a few people around the yacha, and Master Xu San is very familiar with them.
Because it was the brother of Mrs. Xu San, Zhang's Su Niang.
Master Xu San said in surprise: "Uncle, uncle, why are you here." ”
Master Zhang took a step forward: "My mother and I often dream that Su Niang is cowering in the corner, looking at us in horror, yesterday someone sent me a letter saying that Su Niang's death is strange, as long as we listen to the arrangement of the yacha, we can see the culprit who killed Su Niang, I didn't expect to see you here." ”
Master Xu San shook his head: "Uncle, I don't know what you mean by this?" Let's find a place to sit down and talk about it. ”
Master Xu San said and touched his right arm with his hand, there was a delicate sleeve arrow hidden there, which could hurt the enemy within thirty steps, and he had not yet dialed the machine, but he heard a sound, and dozens of bows and crossbows around him were aimed at him in unison.
……
Xu Qinghuan was very busy.
But everything was laid out, but it made her feel happy.
The real murderer has been found, the silver has been found, and now only the person who is planning behind her back shows her true face, and she must find him.
Although Master Xu San had a reason to harm her father, she still felt that her father's death in her previous life was not just as simple as it seemed on the surface.
After Master Xu San got the silver, whoever gave the silver to was that person.
If she doesn't catch that person, she won't be able to sleep well.
If you go out of the city and walk along the official road, you will see a small road, which is also a relatively secluded place, and if you want to hand over the money, this is the best place.
She believed he would come.
