Chapter 29: Madness

Master Xu San said the past very simply, but it was very clear.

When the rebels captured Fengxiang, he lost a leg and lost his wife, and after more than a year, his injuries were healed and he was able to support himself to get up from the bed, but it was also at that time that he felt more and more sad, sitting in an empty house, he closed his eyes and could always think of his dead wife.

So he often took the old slave to worship his wife, and once when he passed by the back mountain, he saw that the second master Cao seemed to be burying something, he was a little curious and ordered the old slave to see, who knew that it was a child.

The child also had a big fate, and he came back to life when he saw the wind, he didn't know what the Cao family meant by this move, so he didn't dare to raise the child outside.

Master Xu San sighed when he said this: "This child has a big life, so I named it Stone."

Although the stone survived, he was strangled by his throat and could no longer speak, so I asked him about his family...... The child was already small, and when he was frightened, he just cried non-stop.

Later, I heard that Cao Si had a posthumous son who was found outside, Xu and Cao were in-laws, and they often moved, and I also heard some news, and found that Cao Si's posthumous belly was the same age as the stone.

Cao Si can't have such a small posthumous child, Mrs. Cao stared at the voice of doubt and raised the child by her side, I am afraid that the child has some relationship with the Cao family, so I showed the portrait of the Cao family to the stone, and the stone was very happy when he saw the second lady of the Cao family, and his mouth kept opening and closing to shout.

I knew that I had found the right person, and this happened to the second lady of the Cao family. ”

Master Xu San said: "Later, I managed to meet the second miss of the Cao family, and she was ...... at that time Sitting there, she couldn't cry, she couldn't laugh, she wouldn't speak, everyone said that she was frightened back then, her illness had not been good, and she was already stupid. I didn't quite believe it, and tried to ask her about the stones, and she was like...... Suddenly sober up and grabbed my arm, at that time I guessed some inside information, she must have had a relationship with someone, gave birth to two children, the Cao family was afraid of humiliating the court, and kept her locked up and refused to let her see anyone.

I couldn't bear to see her go on like this, so I came up with a way to ask the Cao family for marriage, if I could rescue her, at least I could reunite their mother and son, who knew that she would not see the stone, and told me that the stone father died in the hands of the Cao family, and she would have to take revenge on the Cao family one day sooner or later.

After so many years, her situation has gradually improved, a few days ago she said that she was going to leave Fengxiang with Shi and Sister Zhen'er, and asked me to help them get up and down, hire a few carriages, and exchange some broken silver to send them out of the city, so I will come to find Shi tonight. ”

Master Xu San had already finished talking about all the grievances he knew.

Zhou Yue couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Xu, the Cao family didn't mention tax silver at all in this past, maybe they guessed wrong.

"How did the third aunt die?" Xu Qinghuan opened his mouth and said, "When the second aunt went back to her parents' house to avoid trouble, didn't the third aunt go to Cao's house with her?" ”

Master Xu San nodded: "Yes, I just didn't expect to get separated." ”

"It's not far from the Xu family to the Cao family," Xu Qinghuan looked at the third master Xu, "I'm afraid it's not that I'm separated, but that I've been left behind, hasn't the third uncle asked the Cao family?" There is no resentment towards the Cao family in his heart. ”

Master Xu San's face was a gray color: "I asked, and I hated, but I didn't protect her, what qualifications do I have to blame others, if I say hate, I have to hate myself first, at the beginning I also wanted the Cao family to pay the price, and wanted to tell the second miss of the Cao family, so that the Cao family lost its reputation, but I saw that their mother and son couldn't bear it after all."

I may be such a coward, after going through so much, I would rather choose to live in peace and stability, hatred is really too hard. ”

When Master Xu San said this, the surroundings fell into silence.

"This official doesn't like to judge such a case the most," Wang Yun said, "Back then, their mother and son had grievances, but now they have become murderers, how innocent Miss Cao is, how helpless this old woman is." ”

Master Xu San suddenly bowed to the ground: "Please find out the facts of the case, I ...... I...... I always feel ...... Stones don't kill...... He's a good boy......"

The yacha helped Master Xu San up, and Wang Yun said: "This official will handle it impartially." ”

While speaking, the yacha came in and said: "My lord, something happened to the Cao family, and Mrs. Xu killed Mrs. Xu." ”

Xu Qingshu was angry about the "idle people and others", why was he and his father kicked out, but Xu Qingan and Xu Qinghuan were standing inside, he had already stepped into the official career with one foot, he was not as good as these two people, at this time, he vaguely heard that his family came to report the funeral, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Who do you say is dead?" Xu Qingshu's eyes widened.

"Second wife," said the family, "the second wife is gone." ”

Xu Qingshu screamed miserably, and pulled his subordinates to help him get on the horse: "Hurry up...... I'm going to see my mother...... Hurry up ......"

All the hopes of Master Xu San in the courtyard were dashed: "Why did she do this, she harmed herself and her two children." ”

"My lord," Sun Chong bowed to Wang Yun, "so it seems that everything is clear, the Cao family has had accidents one after another, that is, Mrs. Xu's mother and son are taking revenge on the Cao family." ”

Wang Yun looked at Li Xu and Xu Qinghuan: "Although there are still some places that are not clear, presumably this is generally the case," he paused when he said this, "Put Master Xu San in prison, let's go to Cao's house first." ”

Xu Qinghuan nodded: "Chang Niangzi can help with the autopsy." ”

Chang Niangzi, who was wearing a cyan dress and carrying a cloth bag behind her, stepped forward to salute Wang Yun.

Wang Yun walked forward with the people, and Chang Niangzi said softly: "That old woman only has a strangulation mark on her neck. ”

So Xu Qinghuan's guess should be correct.

Zhou Yue was very curious about the origin of Chang Niangzi, and only then did she see her checking the old woman's body, her movements were neat and no worse than the old man's work, how could such a person work for Miss Xu.

He stepped forward and said, "Mrs. Chang has worked hard. ”

Chang Niangzi raised her eyes and looked at Zhou Yue seriously: "It's just an inconspicuous woman, it's rare for the son to remember, if the son is in need in the future," she said and patted the package on her shoulder, "The woman will definitely entertain her well." ”

Zhou Yue hurriedly gave a salute, and when Chang Niangzi walked away, he looked at Li Xu next to him: "Jiulang, what do you say Chang Niangzi is carrying on her shoulder?" For some reason, after saying hello to Chang Niangzi, he always felt uncomfortable.

Li Xu smiled: "The equipment used for the autopsy." ”

Zhou Yue's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Li Xu's eyes fell on Xu Qinghuan, the case has reached the current situation, he really wants to hear Miss Xu's opinion, but she looks like she is rejecting people thousands of miles away, I am afraid she will not talk to him alone.

However, there will always be opportunities.

……

The Cao family died two female dependents in just a few days, and as soon as the news spread, the door was full of people.

Mrs. Xu San was tied hand and foot, sat on a chair, and looked at everyone in the room coldly, as if if she was given a chance, she would kill all the Cao family.

"Isn't it enough for you to kill the eldest mother? Put the eldest master back," Mrs. Cao's face was haggard, "he is your brother after all!" ”

The people in the yamen searched everywhere, but they didn't find Master Cao, and now when they saw the tragic death of Mrs. Xu, they were even more panicked.

Mrs. Cao couldn't wait to tear Mrs. Xu San apart, but she was afraid that she would never see her husband again, so she knelt down: "Please, you killed Ruwan and came to harm your eldest brother again, and our family will make you so resentful?" That's your own big brother, so you spare him. ”

"Yes," Second Master Cao let people help him enter the door, and when he saw Mrs. Xu San, he also shouted in a panic, "We are brothers and sisters in the end, we grew up together since childhood, and you are married...... I'm still carrying you out......" Speaking of this, he felt that it was wrong, if Zhao Shan hadn't died, his sister would not have married Xu San.

Second Master Cao was ruthless in his heart, and slapped him in the face: "Sister, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, I can't keep this arm, I have already paid the price...... Don't let people kill me again, okay? I've had enough, you know, I can't talk in this house. ”

"What do you mean by Second Uncle," Mrs. Cao said sharply, "You don't ask her to let your eldest brother go, but you only want to protect yourself, if you don't just care about running for your own life, how can someone kidnap your eldest brother." ”

After saying this, Mrs. Cao went to see Mrs. Xu San again: "Second sister, you listen to your sister-in-law, just let your eldest brother back, in the future, he will have to provide for his mother to the end, our Cao family can't live without him!" ”

"Giggles," Mrs. Xu San suddenly laughed, "I and a pair of children can't do without Zhao Shan, when we begged you back then, what did you do?" Have you ever thought about sparing him? I wish you all died. The eldest brother killed Zhao Shan, and you are all helping, the eldest sister strangled my Brother Ye, and the second brother took Brother Ye out to bury him, I know all this, and I will remember it for you, and none of you can escape. ”

"Why do you bother," Mrs. Cao cried to the ground, "you don't have to think about killing so many people." ”

"I should have died a long time ago," Mrs. Xu San said, "I should have died here more than ten years ago." ”

The second master Cao suddenly remembered that the tax money, if the second sister confessed it all, they would be in trouble: "I'll tell you ......"

Mrs. Xu San said sarcastically: "Are you afraid? ”

Second Master Cao looked at the scissors on the table, and evil thoughts suddenly appeared in his heart.

"That's enough," Mrs. Cao scolded everyone, "don't add any more injustices. ”

"Mother, you still protect her." Second Master Cao looked incredulous.

Old Lady Cao stretched out her trembling hand: "If the court really finds out, it will be a crime that we should repay." ”

As soon as Mrs. Cao's words fell, the steward came in and said, "Someone has come to the yamen." ”

Old Lady Cao closed her eyes: "Leave it all to the yamen!" ”

The door of Cao's hall opened, and then Sun Chong took the yacha into the door and took Mrs. Xu San away.

……

"I killed it."

Without waiting for Wang Yun to ask, Mrs. Xu San had already smiled and said, "I wanted to kill her a long time ago." ”

The murderer has already confessed, and many people have witnessed it, and it doesn't seem that there is much inside information.

Mrs. Xu San was about to be taken away, and Xu Qinghuan stepped forward: "Has the third aunt ever thought about what Ruzhen should do?" ”

Mrs. Xu San trembled.

Xu Qinghuan continued: "Is this really the result you want?" ”

"What do you want to say?" Mrs. Xu San looked at Xu Qinghuan coldly, and for some reason she suddenly came up and lowered her voice, "You'd better leave this matter alone, otherwise...... I won't care so much, and you Anyi Marquis Mansion will also come in to accompany me. ”
