Chapter 33: Approach
Li Xu and Xu Qinghuan looked at each other: "If that person had already calculated to frame the Marquis of Anyi's mansion, if you appeared here, you must all be in his calculations, and the person who has nothing to do with this matter is me, I came to redress the grievances of the Su Governor's Mansion, and now I am a cloth cloth, without any official position, and not from Fengxiang, when Fengxiang broke the city, our Li family was far away in the north, no matter how it is calculated, it is impossible to get involved, if you really want to inquire about Mrs. Xu San, I am more suitable than you." ”
Li Xu doesn't often speak in this gentle voice, he has been by his side for a long time in his previous life, he knows that he is a cold person, and after being in a high position, most of his weekdays are business-like, stiff and concise, and there is no room for change.
In fact, he didn't have to tell her this, he could just do it, and now this explanation is to make her feel more at ease.
"I don't know if I've done anything in the past that made Miss Xu misunderstand me," Li Xu said, "but I think that at least at this time, I and the Anyi Marquis Mansion are beneficial and harmless, and the eldest lady can trust me." ”
Li Xu also walked into her heart like this back then, she had never trusted a strange man so much, and later decided that he was her lover.
Without the beginning of this time, there would be no later ear and sideburn grinding, and there would be no foam for each other.
He would tell her the secrets of his heart, and she admired him unreservedly.
Every time she thought of their love, she couldn't help but heat her cheeks and her heart beat faster.
She always thought that they were so close that they would never fail each other at any time.
At an important juncture, I realized that people's hearts could not stand the test.
Now he stood in front of her again, so heroic, that she felt that the past seemed to be a dream, her husband threw beside her, his arms were still warm, his shoulders were still solid, so that she could lean on.
Trust is always easy to open people's hearts.
What's more, such an outstanding man, he will be even more respected in the future, and he will be supported by many people.
People yearn for the most beautiful things, maybe Li Xu's graceful demeanor will also make her blush, but her heart is still beating calmly, and there is no wave.
Xu Qinghuan smiled slightly: "What Li Gongzi said is right, everyone can do their best to get what they need in the future, but what I want to do, you may not be able to do it well." ”
After Xu Qinghuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked forward, without giving Li Xu any chance to speak.
The moment she was silent and smiled, the waves in her eyes appeared, and for some reason he felt like he had a sense of vicissitudes, as if he had spent half his life.
Then it was as calm as water, just as it had been when I first met her.
After leaving Shi's house, Li Xu returned to his residence.
The room was very simple, a small desk with a few books on it, he turned on the light, picked up a book and read it.
The whole room seemed to be tainted with a bit of bookish air because of him.
But today Li Xu is a little absent-minded.
Isn't it good to take what you need? He intervened in the case of the Cao family, originally with such thoughts, why did he have to come out tonight to say those words to Miss Xu, Pingshui was just a meeting, what did he want to explore from Miss Xu?
……
In the gloomy cell, there were bursts of singing.
It's like a mother coaxing her infant child to close his eyes and fall asleep early.
"She's been singing since she came in," the jailer told Sun Chong, "beating and scolding, she didn't seem to hear it, is this one crazy?" ”
How can a person who killed his own sister not be a madman, and without such a madman, he can't raise such a cruel murderer.
"The murderer doesn't know when he will be caught," the jailer sighed, "It's been a long time since we've had people in Fengxiang County feel so panicked." ”
Walking in front of Mrs. Xu's cell, the jailer handed the key in his hand to Sun Chong.
Sun Chong nodded.
The jailer looked at the short and thin yacha beside Sun Chong, and couldn't help but look suspicious, he had never seen such a person around Sun Chong before, Sun Daren had a calm face, he didn't dare to ask, so he had to leave quickly.
Sun Chong opened the cell door and walked in.
Mrs. Xu's singing stopped abruptly, and she raised her head to look at the people around Sun Chong: "I knew you would come." ”
The man raised his head, revealing a girl's pretty face, Xu Qinghuan took a step forward and slowly sat down next to Mrs. Xu San.
"Third aunt," Xu Qinghuan said, "the stone is gone, you should have known it a long time ago, right?" ”
Mrs. Xu San tried her best to restrain herself, but she still couldn't help her hands tremble.
"Before Cao Ruwan died, the stone was no longer in that courtyard, and you were monitored by the Cao family and the Xu family and couldn't go out all the time, so it was too late for you to notice."
Mrs. Xu San bit her lip tightly.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "The stone is honest, hard-working, smart and careful, it is really your blessing to have such a pair of children, the safety of the two of them is more important than your life, so someone uses a stone to threaten you, so that you admit that you killed your own sister in revenge on the Cao family, as a mother, you really have no choice."
It's just that you're so stupid that you think they'll put the stone back by doing so? The yamen has posted notices everywhere, offering a reward for the arrest of the stone, and the master behind it will definitely not let the court know, everything is his conspiracy, and the stone will never be released alive. ”
Mrs. Xu San's voice was hoarse: "Shut up, you are not allowed to curse my son." ”
Xu Qinghuan shook his head: "No wonder your family has fallen to this point today, you are so stupid and stupid." ”
Mrs. Xu San was about to retort with a sneer, but Xu Qinghuan had already continued: "Shi's father is the remnant of a traitor arrested by the imperial court, right?" ”
Mrs. Xusan's eyes were full of shock: "You ......"
Xu Qinghuan said: "Do you want to ask me how I know?" Quite simply, Stone was very tall and powerful, and although he did not go out often, he only slaughtered livestock at home, but everyone around him knew about him, which showed how remarkable his figure and appearance were.
Even Ruzhen, who is a woman, is tall, and you have no strengths in this regard compared to others, so it can be seen that the two brothers and sisters should follow his father.
Master Xu San once said that the stone was almost killed by the Cao family, why did the Cao family leave Sister Zhen to kill the stone, the two children were still young back then, and there was no threat to them, but they did it decisively because they were afraid that the stone would retaliate when they grew up, and this fear made them lose all their humanity and did not hesitate to attack a child.
I think part of this fear comes from Father Stone, who must have been a powerful man from the outside.
Such a person died quietly, leaving no trace, no one to look for, no one to inquire, as if it had never existed.
I think about it, unless he himself covered his tracks before that, who would do that?
Do the math again, the third aunt, you are from the battle of Fengxiang after 'staying at home', the two things are linked, and the thing that can make the Cao family feel like a great enemy is that the daughter has an affair with the rebels, and this incident will bury the reputation of the Cao family. ”
Xu Qinghuan stood up after speaking: "I am now beginning to understand Mrs. Cao, no matter who this matter is placed in, I am afraid that the same choice will be made, the rebels are inherently heinous, and they should be killed, not to mention that they also mercifully left you and chastity, you should be grateful for the kindness of the Cao family, if you don't have hatred all the time, you won't be used, this is all your own bitter fruit." ”
"Heinous?" Mrs. Xu San suddenly said, "You actually said that he was heinous. ”
Xu Qinghuan said: "Is what I said wrong?" If the rebels rebel rebels kill the people, they deserve to die, and even if he escapes that day, he will never be able to wash away the sins on his body, and he will bear this debt for the rest of his life, even if it is death...... It can't be paid off, and his children are the same, but they are remnants, even if the stone does not die, they will be allocated, and Ruzhen will be guilty.
The blue sky and the white sun are clear, this is justice and the way of heaven. ”
"Say it again," Mrs. Xu San suddenly screamed like crazy, and pinched Xu Qinghuan with her thin hands, "I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you." ”
