Yuan Ziyi looked at Yan Pei, Pei Yan glanced at the young man who had just gotten up, sneered, walked to Qiao You's side, and rested his chin on Qiao You's shoulder in a very intimate manner.

Yawning, he narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm so sleepy, when are we going back." ”

Saying that, it was just his gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, that glanced at Yuan Ziyi opposite, and the smile raised at the corner of his mouth was quite proud just by looking at it.

The hostility in his eyes was obvious, and Yuan Ziyi could naturally detect it.

But what he didn't expect was that Qiao You not only didn't feel dissatisfied with the young man's approach, but just said a few words, "Why didn't I see you sleepy, okay, if you are sleepy, go to sleep in the carriage for a while." ”

Hearing this, where could Pei Yan agree, how could he give Qiao You and Yuan Ziyi time to be alone.

This disheveled brain, who came out in obscene clothes in the middle of the night, looked ill-intentioned, and he couldn't put his daughter-in-law in danger.

However, someone seems to have forgotten that in the middle of the night, the reason why Yuan Ziyi came out like this was not because he kicked open the door and people didn't have time to get dressed.

Several people entered the house, and Pei Yan also followed Qiao You's side all the time, and once the two of them took a few steps closer, he immediately pulled Qiao You two steps closer to his side.

When Qiao You told them what they knew, Yuan Ziyi didn't suspect anything, but if Xie Mingxiu and Xia Yusheng were arrested.

This Xie Mingxiu may not end well, but this Xia Yuansheng is different.

He knew that although his mother had severed the relationship with the Xia family, she still cared about that trace of blood and relatives in her heart.

But fortunately, Xia Yusheng only hooked up with Xie Mingxiu recently, so it shouldn't be a big crime.

Thinking of this, Yuan Ziyi directly sent someone to inform the county magistrate who lived not far from their Yuan family.

A noisy night.

Pei Yan left after sending Qiao You and Xia Ziyan back, and didn't stay long, while Qiao Ying was probably stunned, and the big movement in the night didn't wake her up, and she slept very deeply.

The next morning, Qiao Ying was awakened.

In the dream, the boy she liked crawled out of a dry well covered in blood, his face was full of filth and maggots, and he smiled grimly at him, saying that she deserved it.

She sat up from the bed suddenly, her forehead was covered with sweat, her hands were clenched tightly at the corners of the cup, and her beautiful little face was full of panic.

Seeing that Qiao Ying woke up, Qiao Youfu put a bowl of soup next to the table, and said worriedly: "Xiaoying, you can be regarded as awake, last night, you were really scared to death by my father." ”

Qiao Ying didn't listen to a word, her mind was full of the amazing and terrifying scene in Fang Cai's dream.

Seeing Qiao Ying's sluggish expression, Qiao Youfu stretched out his hand and shook it twice on her face, and then took a water-soaked handkerchief to wipe her face: "In the future, you must listen to your sister, you know, otherwise, if the situation of last night happens again, what will you do with your father?" ”

Last night!

Hearing these four words, Qiao Ying raised his head violently, his eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly began to tremble.

Yes, last night, she remembered that she went to find Brother Ming Xiu?

Xie Mingxiu?

Thinking of this name, Qiao Ying became even more frightened, biting her lip tightly, and muttered two words in her mouth, a little vague, but she couldn't hear what it was.

What my sister said is really good, then Xie Mingxiu is really a beast with different appearances.

Last night, she went to the west of the city, which is said to be Xie Mingxiu's courtyard.

At first, everything was normal, the two of them walked in the yard, looking at the moon in the sky and the stars in the night.

But later, she wanted to go to the thatched house, and the maid took her there.

When she was well, she was about to leave the thatched house, but she saw a ragged woman being dragged into the wing room not far away by several small servants, and the name shouted by the woman was Xie Mingxiu's.

A few little guys also scolded and scolded in their mouths, saying that if they made any more trouble, they would let their sons throw people into mass graves.

Hearing this, she began to panic, and remembered what her sister had said, and realized it later.

After some struggle, she chose to believe Xie Mingxiu, she came out of the thatched house, and the maid took people back, Qiao Ying wanted to ask Xie Mingxiu, the woman's matter, perhaps, it was just what those little guys did, afraid of being poked out and splashed dirty water on Xie Mingxiu's body.

As soon as she opened her mouth to ask, Xie Mingxiu's face changed, but it was very messy, and he gave a reasonable explanation, saying that those subordinates were all sent by their Xie Mansion to spy on him.

Because he is a concubine, his words and deeds must be controlled by others, and the people in the house will not allow him to do anything that is unfavorable to their concubine outside.

At first, Qiao Ying also believed him, but what she didn't expect was that the woman suddenly ran out again, naming him Xie Mingxiu to trick him here, not only stunned her, but also did something like that to her.

The woman spoke a little crazy, but she looked very beautiful, and warned her to stay away from Xie Mingxiu, saying that Xie Mingxiu was a devil.

Several subordinates ran over and tied people back, and they were respectful to Xie Mingxiu.

In an instant, Qiao Ying instantly sensed danger.

Xie Mingxiu ignored everything else, and directly asked people to tie her up and send her to a side room.

She didn't know what was going on behind the woman who told her to stay away from Xie Mingxiu, but she only vaguely saw that the crazy woman was put into a sack.

After that, she was locked up.

It didn't take long for Xie Mingxiu to come back, and she asked Xie Mingxiu why.

Only Xie Mingxiu's grim smile answered him, Qiao Ying was angry in her heart, but she was afraid, afraid of what Xie Mingxiu would do to her.

When night fell, Xie Mingxiu poured her some wine, and then she fainted in a daze.

Thinking back to everything that happened last night, Qiao Ying only felt extremely regretful.

She knew that Xie Mingxiu hadn't done anything to herself, she could feel it. But even so, the experience of last night was enough to make her scared and frightened.

The girl who has just started to love love, her first love is to give such a person a beast heart, a devil who is different from the outside, how can she not be afraid.

Some mist gathered in her eyes, buried her head in the quilt, and cried in a low voice.

Seeing this, Qiao Youfu felt very distressed, and comforted him for a few words, and thought that the little girl must be scared at this time, so he didn't say anything more, and let her be quiet in the room alone.

When I went out, I saw Qiao You standing at the door, and Qiao You prepared some exquisite and delicious meals for Qiao Youfu to send to Qiao Ying.

It's noon now, Qiao Ying is probably hungry, she didn't go in person, although she was fueling this incident and scared this little girl, but in the final analysis, it was this little girl who didn't listen to her advice and made this decision.

When I returned to the backyard of the restaurant, I saw Xia Ziyan running over with great interest.

"I just came back from the Yamen, guess what, the people from the Yamen copied Xie Mingxiu's courtyard, what happened?"

Qiao You didn't have much interest in knowing, she just needed to know what happened to Xie Mingxiu and Xia Yusheng in the end.

Xia Ziyan ran in front of her again, not caring that she was not interested, and told Qiao You what she heard in the yamen word by word.

For a whole stick of incense, Xia Ziyan whispered in Qiao You's ear for a long time, and Qiao You just didn't want to listen to it.

This Xie Mingxiu is really a human-faced beast-hearted thing, even more disgusting than Qiao You imagined.

Those subordinates confessed, this Xie Mingxiu had been doing this shady deed since he was fourteen years old two years ago.

With his appearance and temperament, he will hook up with those girls who have not been out of the cabinet in various places, some of them have a good family background, he changed his name, and pretended to pay his heart to those girls' families.

At the beginning, he was just doing this superficial work, and there was nothing to cross the distance, and as time went by, he perfectly inherited the heart of his father Xie Er and the scheming and dark mind of her mother-in-law Liu.

Selling some of his money and possessions, he bought a mansion in the west of the city, and specially asked people to dig a secret room in it, and hired people from the rivers and lakes to protect the mansion, so that he could coax those women to come over and do whatever he wanted after bringing them here.

In the past two years, at least eighteen women, most of them from poor families, have been deceived, and few of them live in the city.

After bringing people back and imprisoning them, he sent people to create the illusion that the girls' families had died, some of them lost the embroidered shoes of the girls' families by the river, creating the fact that they had fallen into the water and died, and some of them left two hairpins, clothes and blood stains between the deep mountains and old forests, pretending to have been devoured by fierce beasts, and of course there were some other methods.

It can be said that even if those girls' homes are gone, those people understand something when they see these things.

In Xie Mingxiu's house, in those wings, there were nine girls, eight of whom were completely delirious, and there were still traces of torture and beating, which should have been beaten out when they were struggling, and one of them still had a trace of sanity, and had been coaxed here in recent months.

Xie Mingxiu's affairs, no one in the Xie family will take care of it, and they can't take care of it.

How can they manage such a cruel and outrageous thing, besides, there are human and material evidence, and they can't deny it.

Second Master Xie originally felt sorry for the child, but this truth was in front of him, and even if he was distressed, he became palpitations.

As for raising such a rebellious son, that Aunt Liu is also to blame, not only the elders of the Xie family can't tolerate them, but the second master Xie's main house will not let go of this opportunity to drive Aunt Liu out.

In the face of so many people, Second Master Xie was naturally helpless, so he moved the family law and beat Aunt Liu for thirty boards, and Aunt Liu, who had fine skin and tender meat, was crippled and sent to the countryside to eat.

As for whether to live or die in the end, it depends on creation.

"Where's your father?" She suddenly asked Xia Ziyan.

When he was arrested last night, Xia Yuansheng was in Xie Mingxiu's courtyard, he naturally couldn't escape, unless Mrs. Yuan could intervene, otherwise, this Xia Yuansheng would spend the rest of his life in prison.
