Chapter 15: The Trap
Mrs. Xu has always been disgusted with this younger sister.
Since her sister was born, she has never been comfortable, she thought that after the chaos of Fengxiang, she completely got rid of this disaster, but she didn't expect that the peak would turn around, and Xu Laosan came to the door to ask to marry her sister.
Both she and her brothers felt that her sister should not leave the Cao family, and she had to live under their noses, but her mother was still reluctant to let her sister die alone, and persuaded her to help her sister, the Xu family was not a side, it was always within her control, and it was also considered a way to live for her sister.
But she always felt that there was something strange in this, a person who was bent on seeking death, suddenly thought about it, and was willing to marry Xu Laosan who had a broken leg, but her mother made a decision, and they could only comply. She laid eyeliner and human hands in Xu San's courtyard, staring at her sister's every move, maybe her sister had not been able to leave the nunnery for all these years, and she only had half a breath left to live, so she relaxed her vigilance.
Unexpectedly, at this joint, my sister seized the opportunity and stabbed her fiercely.
Mrs. Xu Er gritted her teeth and gurgled: "Your grandmother is too indulgent of her, so she will raise such a shameless thing, if it wasn't for her, where did the disaster come from, I was kind enough to take her in, shelter her from the wind and rain, she was not only not grateful but came to harm me, I was not afraid of bad retribution, I knew today, I watched her die back then......"
Xu Qingshu heard the string sound outside the words: "What does Mother mean by this." ”
"It's none of your business," Second Mrs. Xu trembled, "prepare a car for me, I will go back to see your grandmother, and ask them why they are doing this to me." ”
"They're already here," Song Qingshu said, "Grandmother, uncle, aunt, they're all here." ”
Second Mrs. Xu's heart was cold, wouldn't they embarrass her when they came to the door at this time, since she couldn't hide, she knew to go down: "Okay...... I'll go and see them. ”
……
"It's not a way to live."
"Three days and two heads to check, when is the head."
"It was the daughter of a high-ranking family who died, and we were replaced...... Where would the yamen be so attentive. ”
"Don't say it, the young lady who is like a flower and jade, the one who died miserably, you can smell the smell of blood from far away, the yamen mobilized all the manpower this time, and the water around the Cao family was blocked, and those people who were idle on weekdays were helping the yacha to find out the news."
"Don't say that the status of the Cao family is there, the new prefect is coming, and the yamen is not competing for merit, and whoever can catch the murderer is a great achievement."
"I don't know when I'll catch that murderer."
"Maybe there are no murderers at all, people say that Mrs. Cao is too angry and has become a powerful ghost, this is just the beginning...... In the future, the Cao family will not have a good life. ”
"What nonsense...... Mrs. Cao is our great benefactor of Fengxiang. ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, it's none of our business."
The lights went out, a black shadow came out of the corner, he raised his head and looked at the sky overhead, tonight the black clouds and the moon can better hide his body is the best time to leave here, as long as he changes into the clothes of the yacha, he can shuttle through the streets and alleys, of course, he can't meet the real yacha, otherwise he will be seen.
Now that the imperial court has gotten the news to check on the Cao family's Zhuangzi and transferred the nearby manpower, he can get away with it if he is careful.
Sure enough, he walked the road with ease, and there was silence around him, except for the occasional barking of a dog or a cat's bark, and after a muffled thunderclap, raindrops began to fall.
The time, place and people are all occupied.
Someone hurried out of the house to collect clothes, someone complained a few words about the weather, and no one noticed him.
He couldn't help but smile on his face.
But I didn't notice a few figures in the corner.
At last the rain began to fall more rapidly, and he was about to quicken his pace when the men rushed towards him at a little under their feet.
The sword was unsheathed, and the chase and confrontation were officially staged on this street.
In the courtyard facing this street, Feng Xiao slowly opened the door, and saw the torches of the official mansion lit up, and the yacha had already taken the lead, Feng Xiao felt satisfied, and remembered to report to her own young lady, so she hurriedly walked to Xu Qinghuan's side: "Miss, the fight has started." ”
Xu Qingan nervously guarded his sister, his eyes firmly fixed on the door, afraid that the murderer would rush over and disadvantage his sister.
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "It's okay, he doesn't know that we are here." ”
Xu Qingan still couldn't believe it: "How do you know that he hasn't left Fengxiang yet." "This sister of his, she's so smart.
Xu Qinghuan said: "If everything is according to their plan, the yacha will go out of the city to hunt down my brother, so they are not prepared to flee after committing the crime, but I didn't expect that something went wrong in the middle, my brother quickly got rid of the crime, the government closed the city gate to look for another murderer, and there were yacha staring at the streets and alleys, and he was trapped here." ”
In his previous life, he didn't save his brother, because their plan was implemented too smoothly, everything was under control, and it was naturally difficult to show his feet, if he hadn't been implicated in his father's crime, Li Xu would have helped, I'm afraid that Second Master Xu would not have confessed the truth.
Now it's different, although she didn't let the murderer stop, but it also made everything deviate, as long as you start from this deviation, you can gain something.
She deliberately panicked Mrs. Xu, and asked Mrs. Xu to come forward to Cao's house to expose the truth, and she asked people to go to the yamen to report the news, and the case progressed.
Sun Chong, the magistrate, is a selfless person with an iron face, and his mind is all about tracking down the murderer, even if the evidence is insufficient, he is willing to mobilize people to give it a try.
The assailant was still struggling, but his arm had already been grabbed by the yacha, and he screamed and shook it so hard that one of the yacha happened to crash open the gate and fell into the courtyard.
However, after all, the trend has turned.
A crossbow arrow was aimed in the direction of the murderer, and Sun Chong pushed through the crowd and walked out.
Under the firelight, the murderer's eyes flashed in a hurry, but in an instant, he became calm, with a human life in his hand, as long as he was caught, the result would be the same, and his palm turned to reveal the sharp blade in his palm.
"Hold him."
Sun Chong commanded, and almost at the same time stretched out his hand to hold the murderer's wrist, and reached out to hit his jaw, which was a way to prevent the murderer from killing himself.
The murderer's blade landed on the ground, and a rope tied him tightly.
Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned his head, and saw several figures standing in front of the open door, one of them was petite, it was the eldest lady of the Anyi Hou family.
Li Xu explained to him in advance, and he also knew that this eldest lady would definitely make a difference.
It was not enough to send news and come up with ideas, it was not enough to arrange such a bureau, she appeared here again with someone, but I am afraid that even Li Xu did not expect that Miss Xu would be so bold and reckless.
"Master Sun, it's not over yet!" Xu Qinghuan reminded in a timely manner, "There are still people waiting for you to catch." ”
Sun Chong swallowed and nodded, why did all the smart people in this world have to be met by him, it was not enough to hurt him, and now there is another one.
"Let's go," Sun Chong shouted, "Go to the Tan family." ”
After catching this evil slave, it will be difficult for Master Xu's family to get out.
……
Xu family.
The hall was in front of her, and Mrs. Xu Er instructed her subordinates: "You go first." ”
She was about to walk out into the corridor to catch her breath, when a hand reached out from behind her and covered his mouth firmly.
The fear of death suddenly permeated her body.
"You can't escape." An icy voice rang out from behind her.
