Second Master Cao cried like a child, and his robe was still stained with the filth that he had just spit out by picking his throat, and he searched among those things over and over again, trying to find what the man forced him to swallow, but found nothing.

"I'm going to die." Second Master Cao didn't want to die.

But even if it is life and death, the Cao family can't take care of him now, and it should be said that no one can take care of anyone.

Mrs. Cao's gaze was always on the bloody ear, and her hands kept trembling: "Whose is this?" Who is it for? ”

Mrs. Cao San's face was pale and she kept shaking her head: "Someone just sent it in, and I don't know, but I just thought it was the jewelry that the master explained outside, I felt that the bottom of the box was a little wet, so I looked at it." She rubbed her fingers desperately, and it was blood.

"We are all good, only the master is outside, will it be the master......" Mrs. Cao stared at the second master Cao, "Where is your eldest brother?" At that time, I didn't agree with your use of Erniang's tricks, and now the thieves have been led to the door, and your eldest brother doesn't know what happened. ”

"This doesn't have to be my eldest brother's, what is my sister-in-law anxious about? I...... The one who is going to die now is my ......" Second Master Cao's eyes widened and looked at everyone angrily, "Don't you all care if I live or die?" Mother...... It's useless for us to keep that silver, so it's better to ...... Let's take some of it and buy your life. ”

He climbed to the feet of Mrs. Cao and pressed his face against Mrs. Cao's instep: "Save your son, your son can't die, and your son will die for you." ”

"Shut up, why didn't you think of asking me an idea when you and the boss were planning this?" Mrs. Cao looked at her second son with calm eyes, when it came to facing life and death, no matter how glamorous a person was, he would be embarrassed, not as good as Zhao Shan, Zhao Shan did not say a word when he died, and it was worthy of a major event.

When she saw Zhao Shan, seeing that he was tall and powerful, she knew that he had the ability to support Erniang, but unfortunately he accidentally joined the rebel army back then, and he was afraid that he would have to hide for a lifetime, so she persuaded Zhao Shan to stay and fight for his wife and children, where can her daughter live forever in the dark, Zhao Shan agreed.

It's a pity that the sky behind it is not fulfilled.

Second Master Cao withered there, his face was the color of dead ash.

Old Mrs. Cao said: "The government has not found anything, now there are just a few more people coming to the door, you are all scared like this, in Fengxiang, where is the prestige of our Cao family, it will not fall because of a few gossips." ”

These words shocked the Cao family's spirits.

Master Cao San stepped forward and helped Mrs. Cao up from the chair.

Mrs. Cao raised her head slightly, looking at the Cao family's mansion with a pair of eyes without chaos, just like she looked like she had turned the tide more than ten years ago, and was about to speak.

The steward came again to say, "Old lady, Mrs. Su is here." ”

Old Lady Cao's eyes changed slightly.

More than ten years ago, Su Huai often came to Cao's house as a guest when he was the magistrate of Fengxiang, although the old lady Cao had never entered the office, but he was full of wealth since he was a child, Su Huai would always come to the door to ask for advice when he encountered difficulties, so there were rebels attacking Fengxiang later, and the two of them defended the city regardless of their lives.

Su Huai survived and returned to Fengxiang to take office, and he also took care of the Cao family, and thought about promoting Master Cao, but unfortunately the two people disagreed, and Su Huai gave up this thought.

When Su Huai was imprisoned, Master Cao was glad that he didn't get too close to the Su family.

Now that things have changed, Mrs. Su has come to the door, and she doesn't have to think about it because it is related to those taxes and silver.

Just like Mrs. Cao said, the Cao family is very prestigious in Fengxiang, and some small turmoil can't overthrow the Cao family, but if the Su family comes forward, it will be different, Su Huai almost sacrificed his life to defend the city, and then did his best to rebuild Fengxiang, and when he was put in prison, the people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, until now they also believe that Su Huai was wronged.

If the Su family is involved in this case, the Cao family will be equivalent to meeting a natural enemy, because the Cao family is really nothing compared to the prestige of Master Su.

"Old lady," Mrs. Su didn't say much, and said directly, "I just learned that our lord was imprisoned because of the lost tax silver more than ten years ago, and the court suspected that the lord had collaborated with the enemy to hide those silver, what happened back then?" Just say it. ”

Old Lady Cao frowned.

Mrs. Su obviously came prepared, she was followed by a few people, one of them was tall, with a handsome face, especially those eyes, clear as spring water, standing there It was hard to ignore, Mrs. Cao had seen many grandchildren, but no one could match the one in front of her.

Mrs. Cao said: "Master Su was investigated by the imperial court because of his greed for ink, how could it be related to the tax and silver more than ten years ago?" Even if you want to investigate the incident more than ten years ago, Mrs. should not come to our Cao family, Lord Su did not leave Fengxiang an inch back then, if you want to say who knows the situation most back then, it must be Lord Su. ”

Mrs. Su shook her head: "Back then, I didn't find any tax money when I dug three feet into the ground in Fengxiang, and the only one who didn't search was the Cao family, because the Cao family set up a spirit for the old lady Cao, and the people in the yamen didn't want to come to disturb them, but I didn't expect that the Cao family had already colluded with the rebels."

If you want to say that my lord is at fault, it is a mistake to believe in the Cao family, now we will not make this mistake, and if we can't find out this matter, we will not leave the Cao family. ”

Mrs. Su had a resolute look on her face.

The steward came in and said, "Old lady, all those who came with tablets have sat down in the courtyard. ”

Mrs. Su's haggard face raised slightly: "If the old lady thinks about it, go to the courtyard and call me." ”

Mrs. Su walked out of the room, and when she came to the hall, she looked at Li Xu behind her: "Can this work?" What if they keep refusing to speak? ”

Li Xu's eyebrows flashed with a calm and steady look: "The Cao family has made a mistake in this matter, and now that they find out that they are targeted, they will be even more panicked, and try their best to make up for their previous mistakes, the more they can do, the more mistakes they make, in the past, Mrs. Cao alone could suppress the entire Cao family, but now the Cao family is in danger, and they will plan for themselves, as long as they act separately, they will show more flaws." ”

Mrs. Su's eyes were full of gratitude: "Thanks to you, in fact, my lord has no favor for you, but you help like this." ”

"Master's words are serious," Li Xu bowed, "It was the teacher who recommended me to go to the army for training, which made me gain a lot of knowledge, and now the teacher is in difficulty, and the students naturally do their best." ”

Mrs. Su nodded again and again: "It's also that you are smart, otherwise who would have thought of that incident." ”

"It's not a student," Li Xu's voice was clear, "The first person to find out the clues of the case was the eldest lady of the Marquis of Anyi's mansion, and the student could only think of it when she reminded her." ”

Mrs. Su was a little surprised.

Li Xu continued: "I only hope that the truth of this case will be revealed and the teacher can return safe and sound." ”

A few people walked into the courtyard, Mrs. Su also sat on the ground with everyone, and Li Xu took Zhou Yue to slowly move away from the crowd, waiting for the Cao family's movement.

Mrs. Cao came out of the old lady's room and immediately ordered her subordinates: "Go to Xu's house to find Second Master Xu, and tell him that I want to discuss the matter of the eldest master with him, and let him come over." ”

……

In the teahouse on the street adjacent to the Cao family, Xu Qinghuan drank tea slowly.

Feng Xiao grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and the bird standing on the table let out a dissatisfied "ah", and shook its feathers on Feng Xiao's face with its teeth and claws.

Feng Xiao wiped the ashes off her face and continued to eat, she had already seen several groups of people go to the Cao family, and the Cao family must be very lively now: "The eldest lady is right, it's better to be a man, being a man can watch being suffered, and being a ghost can only suffer by himself." ”

"Will the Cao family be in chaos?" Xu Qingan also leaned over.

"Yes." Xu Qinghuan took a sip of tea, as long as Li Xu did it, he would get things done.

Xu Qingan lowered his voice: "Then do you know who the murderer is?" ”

"Almost." Xu Qinghuan replied very simply.

"Why is it almost?"

In fact, she has already deduced the whole case, but it is just that person...... But I don't know what role it is.

So she was going to say, almost.

"Miss," Meng Lingyun ran upstairs with a smoke, and almost fell in excitement, "I found that the Taoist priest has a foothold in Beicheng." ”

Xu Qinghuan put down the cup in his hand: "No one found out?" ”

"No," Meng Lingyun swallowed a few bites, "I'm careful. ”

Xu Qinghuan stood up and walked downstairs, but she stopped again.

"What's wrong?" Xu Qingan looked at his sister puzzled.

"Let me think again." Xu Qinghuan simply squatted down and sat on the stairs.

For the first time, Xu Qingan saw from his sister's face the appearance of facing a great enemy.

……

Zhang Zhenren walked into a small courtyard.

He likes this courtyard because it is relatively remote, so it is more convenient for the son to come and go, and he will not be easily targeted.

With Childe's current status and situation, they have to be careful.

The house looked very simple, and he had simply bought a few things.

A small bed, a table of eight immortals, a chair, and that's it.

At this moment there was a man half-lying in the chair, his legs resting on another chair, his boots untied, his robe half off, and his armor still tied.

He was looking at the paperwork in his hand by the light, and when he saw Zhang Zhenren coming, he raised his bloodshot eyes and ordered lightly: "Wait a while before talking." ”

After speaking, he tilted his head slightly and closed his eyes.

Zhang Zhenren didn't dare to make a sound, his eyes fell on the long sword on the table, and the bloody aura on the sword seemed to have not faded.

Childe's appearance is obviously not resting for several days.
