Chapter 40: Confession

"What a coincidence."

It was as if they were meeting each other on the street and greeting each other.

Speaking in the kind of indecent tone that Xu Qing'an was used to, it made Second Master Xu feel angry in horror, he closed his eyes and tightened his jaw to avoid his teeth chattering, he couldn't be embarrassed in front of this kind of person.

Especially the people who can't let him look down on him see his jokes.

"What are you doing here?" Second Master Xu clenched his fists and turned around.

His deliberately raised voice alarmed the people in the courtyard, and they saw several figures rushing out of the courtyard.

Xu Qingan laughed: "Running away is such a thing, the master is the expert." ”

Zhou Yue, who had been ambushed at the back door for a long time, immediately appeared and stopped several people.

Xu Qingan jumped up, stretched out his hand and grabbed the wall, and kicked the person who wanted to escape over the wall without a pause.

The man screamed and fell into the courtyard.

"None of them are allowed to run away," Xu Qing'an's eyebrows were flying, he hadn't caused trouble for a long time, he was uncomfortable, he just took this opportunity to relax his muscles, thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Xu Er's master and smiled brightly, "Thank you, second uncle." ”

Second Master Xu's heart tingled.

"Come on, let the master sweat." Xu Qingan tore off the buckle of the collar and jumped into the yard.

Sun Chong walked up to Second Master Xu: "Second Master, aren't you mourning for your wife in Fengxiang?" How to get here. ”

The second master Xu said without hesitation: "My wife's dowry Zhuangzi is here nearby, and now that she is gone, I will go to Zhuangzi to take stock of it, and I will leave it to my son to take care of it in the future, I don't want to see my uncle on the street, so I followed all the way." ”

Zhou Yue and Yacha solved the people at the back door, came to Xu Er Master out of breath, and looked at him carefully: "I really didn't expect that the real murderer turned out to be you." ”

Second Master Xu sneered: "What are you talking about, I won't let you be framed without evidence." ”

"If the Cao family doesn't admit guilt, Second Master Xu will be safe and sound," Li Xu said, "Then if the Cao family's affairs can't be covered up, this case will have to be cleared up from the beginning, can Second Master Xu still get out?" These people caught today, even if they can all keep their mouths shut, will Master Cao let you go? ”

After Li Xu finished speaking, he walked towards the courtyard.

There were many people lying in the courtyard, and Xu Qing'an looked refreshed.

On the ground not far away, Master Cao lay there, blood staining his collar, his eyes wide, motionless as if he were a corpse.

"Hey, are you late?" Zhou Yue stretched out his hand to probe Master Cao's snort, but Master Cao stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist firmly.

Zhou Yue was startled, barely steady.

Master Cao had already shouted: "He...... They...... ...... you want to kill me"

Without waiting for others to speak, Second Master Xu spoke first: "Who wants to kill you?" ”

Master Cao's eyes fell on Second Master Xu, his lips trembled, and he slowly came back to his senses, the yacha in the courtyard made him shudder, if he told the truth, he was afraid that the secret of the Cao family would not be able to hide it, and at the critical moment he forced himself to stabilize his mind, and stretched out his hand to the gangsters who were tied up: "They tied me here...... He must ...... It must have been commanded, it was ...... He, the child born to my second sister, resented our Cao family and came to take revenge on us. ”

"Are you talking about Zhao Shan's child?" Li Xu's words shocked Master Cao.

Li Xu said lightly: "Master Cao must have felt that the child took advantage of the opportunity of Second Mrs. Xu to frame the prince of An Yi Hou and take revenge on the Cao family, so he killed Cao Ruwan, this speculation seems very reasonable, but Master Cao forgot a little."

First, the child must first know the plan of Mrs. Xu before he can do it, and second, there must be enough money to buy off the murderer hired by Mrs. Xu.

If he can do this, why kill Cao Ruwan, wouldn't it be more convenient to directly buy the murderer and kidnap Master Cao. ”

Master Cao wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Li Xu said: "Master Cao, do you want to say that the kid can do anything to take revenge, and killing Cao Ruwan may just be for him to vent his anger."

That Master Cao must remember how you killed that child, you strangled him to death, buried him, I didn't expect him to survive, but the harm you brought to him has been left in his body, not only can he not speak, his mind is also different from ordinary people, we found bamboo dragonflies, spinning tops, shuttlecocks in his residence, these things only children will like, he can only slaughter livestock to do some rough work, and the mother-in-law who takes care of him sews beautiful paper kites on his insole, but also to cater to his childlike nature.

How can such a person make such a meticulous arrangement? ”

When Master Cao heard this, he turned his head to look at Second Master Xu.

Zhou Yue sighed: "You have already harmed people like this, why do you still refuse to let him go." ”

"Because of greed," Li Xu said, "Second Master Xu has coveted the title of Marquis of Anyi for a long time, and finally let him find an opportunity to attack his nephew, if the whole thing goes well, Xu Qing'an will be imprisoned, and Mrs. Xu's third daughter will not give up after her death, and it will definitely remind the Cao family of that old thing, and the second master Xu will lead out the son of Mrs. Xu San, so that the Cao family will be completely messed up, and he will find an opportunity to blackmail the Cao family to get this silver, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."

Second Master Xu is very smart, even if something starts to deviate, he will remedy it in time, if no one notices this, he will quietly take the silver money. ”

Second Master Xu's face began to become ugly.

Li Xu walked to Master Cao's side: "When you were forced to come here by those gangsters, you have already figured it out, everything is arranged by Second Master Xu, you don't dare to tell the truth, because this case will also destroy the Cao family, and now you can't justify yourself, do you still want to continue to cover up for Second Master Xu?" ”

"It's him...... It's all his arrangement......" Master Cao said fiercely, "I believe him in vain, but he came to harm us like this, since we can't survive, he doesn't want to escape." ”

Seeing this situation, the gangsters who were pressed to the ground by the yacha also spoke: "The second master asked us to do this, it's none of our business." ”

"Second uncle," Xu Qingan said with a smile on his face, "You have caused a big trouble this time." ”

Second Master Xu's face was hideous: "How can there be a place for you to speak......

As soon as the words fell, he felt a strong force pressing towards his abdomen, and then the entire internal organs seemed to be crowded together, pain and nausea followed, and he couldn't help but bend down and moan.

"As the patriarch of the Xu family, he did such a thing," Xu Qingan moved his fingers, eager to make up for another punch on the second master Xu, "I don't know who is the scum of the Xu family." ”

"My lord," said the yacha who had gone to check in the north room, "those boxes have been dug up, but they are just ...... Only one chest contained silver coins, and the rest were ...... It's all porcelain and ornaments. ”

Hearing this, Master Cao froze, with an unbelievable look on his face.

Second Master Xu was also stunned, and couldn't help muttering, "How is it possible." ”

Looking at the wooden box in front of him, Sun Chong couldn't figure it out: "Silver...... Where did it go? Why not silver," he said as he looked around, "What about Miss Xu?" Where did she go? ”

"The eldest lady of our family said," Meng Lingyun said, "These two masters are just ...... It's just ......" He suddenly couldn't remember the eldest lady's original words.

In front of everyone's eyes, Meng Lingyun frowned and pondered, and after a while, a smug expression appeared in front of his eyes, and in Feng Yan's words: "These two masters are maggots in the sauce jar, rat feces in the rice jar, not only disgusting, but also not a big dish, not worthy of our eldest lady to come and see." ”

After saying that, Meng Lingyun breathed a long sigh of relief: "The two of them are also chess pieces in the hands of others, and our eldest lady is going to catch the person who plays chess." ”

……

On the official road from Fengxiang to the capital.

"Let's have a bowl of tea!" The guy greeted him with a smile on the side of the road.

Looking at the word "tea" written on the flag waving in the wind, Song Chengxuan suddenly reined in his horse and turned around.

"Childe," said the accompanying Eternal Night, "you are ......"

"Where is Zhang Zhenren? Find him now. Song Chengxuan said.
