It was not the Cao family or the Xu family who died, but a strange woman.

They followed the right person, found such a place, and found a corpse, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with the Cao family's case.

Xu Qinghuan stood at the door of the firewood room and watched for a long time, and Meng Lingyun finally couldn't help but ask, "Was it killed by someone...... Then he hung it up. ”

Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "It looks like he hanged himself." ”

This firewood room is very simple, but there are not many miscellaneous items, so you can see the inside clearly at a glance.

Hanging from the woman's neck was an ordinary piece of twine.

There were many miscellaneous items scattered in the courtyard, and ropes could be found everywhere, but this rope looked very clean, which showed that the woman had chosen it a long time ago.

She took the rope and went into the woodroom, reached out and closed the door, looked up and found a wooden beam from which to hang the rope, lifted her skirt and climbed up the stack, fastened the rope buckle, put her neck in it, and then resolutely kicked away from the stack.

By the time she was found again, her body was cold.

"Why," Master Xu San's emotions still hadn't calmed down, and he muttered blankly, "Why is this happening." ”

The yamen came to dispose of the bodies, and everyone was asked to stay in the courtyard.

A handkerchief was handed over, and Master Xu San took it and wiped the moist corners of his eyes.

"Uncle San knows her."

The girl's gaze is gentle, but she can see everything through, in front of such a person, it seems useless to argue, I don't know when Qing Huan became so powerful, Xu San pursed his lips and didn't want to speak.

Xu Qinghuan said: "There is a pair of insoles made of soft cloth in the room, and the stitches are densely sewn, which can be seen to be worn by very important people. ”

Master Xu San hurriedly spoke: "No...... I ......"

"Naturally, it's not for the third uncle," Xu Qinghuan stretched out his hand and compared, "That person's feet are much bigger than yours, although he is very young, his height has long surpassed yours, otherwise how can he do the work of a butcher."

There should be a mother and son living here, at least on the surface, mother and son, these things wait until dawn, and if you ask around, you should know if I am right. ”

Master Xu San's throat tightened and he swallowed unconsciously.

Xu Qinghuan continued: "We don't need to explore the things that can be inquired about, what we should really know are secrets that others don't know."

Let's talk about this woman first, we just went into this woman's quarters, and I found a medicine bowl on the table, a sick old woman, who no one seemed to care about whether she lived or died, but why did she die? ”

Master Xu San shook his head gently: "I...... How will you know. ”

"The third uncle knows," Xu Qinghuan said, "you let her die." ”

Master Xu San raised his head in shock: "Qinghuan, don't talk nonsense, how could I do such a thing, I'll ...... with her I don't know, how can I harm her. ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "The third uncle raised a murderer here, and now the murderer wants to kill, and the people around him will naturally die." ”

Zhou Yue couldn't help but say, "Why?" Didn't you say that the woman seemed to have hanged herself? ”

Li Xu walked out of the firewood room: "The murderer is ready to kill, he will leave Fengxiang after killing someone, but she is old and frail, and she will inevitably become a drag on him, so she has only one way to go, and only once she dies, can he no longer have worries."

So although she hanged herself, she was also killed. ”

Master Xu San kept shaking his head: "No...... No...... No, you're all guessing. ”

"Third uncle," Xu Qinghuan suddenly raised his voice, "Who will die next?" Mrs. Cao, Master Cao or Second Master Cao...... Or you don't care about their life and death, but the murderer will also die, and Mrs. Xu San will not be spared. ”

"What are you talking about?" When Master Xu San heard this, it was even more difficult to hide his panic, and he even raised his voice and shouted.

"Third child, what do you know?"

Second Master Xu's voice came, and he was followed by Xu Qingshu and the people in the yamen.

"Father, this is really dead again," Xu Qingshu raised his head proudly, "I said that my mother was wronged, and now that the murderer has committed the crime again, we can finally clear my mother's grievances." ”

After Xu Qingshu finished speaking, he walked to Master Xu San's side, with a look of surprise and sadness: "Third uncle, how could it be you...... On weekdays, the Xu family treats you well......"

"Third child," Second Master Xu said, "What are you still hiding from now?" This...... Is it really related to the Cao family's case? Do you know that Master Cao is gone, and I am afraid that Second Master Cao's arm will not be able to be saved. ”

Listening to the persecution words in his ear, Master Xu San couldn't help but shrink into a ball.

Finally, a voice said, "Third Uncle, didn't you expect him to kill someone?" ”

Like a falling morning light, Master Xu San finally raised his head: "It is impossible for him to kill...... Stone is a very well-behaved child, he ...... He can't kill anyone, the stone is a child I picked up in a mass grave, and I later gave it up for adoption, and I just come to see him from time to time, and tonight too...... I didn't expect this to happen. ”

Sun Chong interrupted Master Xu San's words: "There are stoves for quenching sharp weapons in the house, and the person who killed Miss Cao is skilled and neat with a knife, so it would not be surprising if he was a butcher." ”

The last trace of strength of Master Xu San seemed to be taken away: "He has promised me that he will not take revenge, why do you want to do this, I have raised him for many years, I just want him to live well, she still told him those hatreds, I should not have let them meet mother and son if I knew this." ”

Sun Chong immediately asked, "Who are you talking about?" ”

Master Xu San's lips trembled, and he couldn't speak.

"It's the third aunt, the stone you said is the son of the third aunt, right?"

Master Xu San turned his head and met Xu Qinghuan's eyes, there was still a final struggle in his eyes, and he wanted to deny it, but he also understood that these things could not be concealed.

Xu Qingshu heard these words, as if in a dream, although he didn't figure out the trick, but he wanted to handle this case in front of everyone, so that Lord Wang Yun could treat him differently, he cleared his throat: "Since that's the case...... will ......"

Before he finished speaking, his body was pushed away heavily, Xu Qingshu was about to bare his teeth, but when he met Wang Yun's deep gaze, the whole person immediately softened, and a spring breeze smile appeared on his lips.

Wang Yun said majestically: "The yamen is a key place to handle the case, and the cadres will be cleared out." ”

Yacha answered, and immediately stretched out his hand to take Second Master Xu and Xu Qingshu.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

As Xu Qingshu's noise went away, Wang Yun looked at the corpse placed on the ground and sighed, turned his head and instructed Sun Chong: "It's a matter of a few lives, don't be careless, immediately hunt down the portrait of the murderer." ”

Master Xu San suddenly said: "It was all the sins created by the Cao family first, and their mother and son would be so unwilling...... She clearly promised me that she would leave here with the child, but she didn't expect it...... Still is...... Or ......"

Wang Yun's eyes darkened: "What else is going on here, you have to explain it all," he paused, "For yourself, but also for them...... Hopefully, there is room for redemption. ”

Master Xu San said in a trembling voice for a long time: "This has to start from more than ten years ago......

……

Cao family.

Mrs. Xu San blew out the lamp in front of her, and a wisp of green smoke spread out in the room.

Xu's second wife, Cao Shi, was lying on her back on the bed, blood soaking through her clothes, and her eyes had turned dead gray.

Mrs. Xu San held scissors in one hand and stroked her sideburns with the other, stood up and walked forward.

She stretched out her blood-stained hand and pushed the door open, and the morning sun immediately fell on her face, making her eyes squint slightly.

The people in the courtyard heard the voice and turned their heads to look at Mrs. Xu San.

Seeing Mrs. Xu San's appearance, she couldn't help screaming: "Someone, someone!" The voice echoed throughout the Cao family's mansion.

Mrs. Xu San stretched the corners of her eyebrows: "One life for one life." As she spoke, she suddenly bent down and laughed.
