Chapter Seventy-Five: Tragedy
The two hurried two steps to the door.
There were several officers and soldiers holding torches standing in the courtyard, and Yang Che saw the prefect Yang An standing in the middle.
"What's going on? Yang An wants to arrest me, and he won't come over with officers and soldiers in the middle of the night. Yang Che wondered.
"Go in and have a look." Lu Zhaoling said decisively.
Yang Che nodded, and the two entered the gate.
When the people in the courtyard saw the two people coming in, they turned around one after another.
Yang An, who was standing in the middle, saw Yang Che at a glance, and his face was full of panic: "Che'er ......"
"What's going on? What about my mother? Yang Che felt irritable in his heart, and took two steps forward through the crowd.
In the courtyard surrounded by officers and soldiers, a blonde-haired beauty from the Western Regions lay quietly.
There was a large patch of blood on his chest.
Yang Che was stunned: "...... Mother? ”
He rushed over, knelt on the ground, stretched out his hand and trembled to pick up the man on the ground.
The body in his arms has long since lost its temperature.
Yang Che lowered his head and looked at the person in his arms, his fingers lightly touched her face, and it was cold.
His eyes grew red.
He turned his head sharply and glared at the man in the courtyard: "Yang An!" ”
Yang An took a step back in panic and said in a trembling voice: "Che'er, it's not me, you listen to me-"
Yang Che got up suddenly, like an angry lion, and bounced towards Yang An in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding officers and soldiers didn't have time to react at all, only heard a "boom" impact, Yang An was already sitting on the ground, and it was Lu Zhaoling who helped him block this punch in front of him.
"Lu, Lu Daxia......" Yang An said tremblingly.
Lu Zhaoling has gone to the government to receive rewards in the past two years, and he is also acquainted with the prefect Yang An.
"What, are you going to be a lackey of this scumbag?" Yang Che gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Zhaoling.
"He doesn't have to kill people." Lu Zhaoling took Yang Che's punch full of anger, his arms were a little numb, and he bared his teeth.
"Who else could there be?! My mother has always been kind, and no one will harm her, except for this dog thing!! Yang Che was out of anger and roared.
"Let's not talk about why he wants to kill your mother, even if he wants to, he won't bring so many officers and soldiers to come over!" Lu Zhaoling knew that Yang Che couldn't listen to good words at this time, so he had to shout loudly, "You calm down first!" If you have wronged him, your mother will know and will not turn a blind eye! ”
Yang Che clenched his fists, panting, glared at Lu Zhaoling, and did not speak for a while.
Yang An had been helped to stand up at this time, and nodded hurriedly: "Lu Daxia is right, how could I harm your mother?" It was the government that received a report, and I heard that the location was your mother's place, so I quickly brought someone over to check, and I saw her lying here......"
Yang An said, looking at the body of Yang Che's mother, his expression was also very sour.
"I don't believe you." Yang Che glared at Yang An coldly.
"Che'er, I know you've been misunderstanding me all along. I admit that I want to send you to the army this time, because I have selfish intentions, but you are also my own flesh and blood, if you really don't want to, I won't force it, let alone this kind of trivial matter, no matter what, it won't kill your mother. Don't worry, I am the prefect of Jinzhou, I will find out your mother's affairs as soon as possible. Yang An said to Yang Che.
Yang Che didn't reply.
Seeing that although Yang Che was still angry, he calmed down a little, Lu Zhaoling breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she thought for a while and felt something strange: "Lord Yang, you said that someone went to the government to report the case, are you familiar with that person?" ”
Yang An thought for a while and said, "It's just an ordinary civilian, I shouldn't have seen it before." ”
"The civilian walking outside in the middle of the night is already suspicious, even if he is going home and passing by here to find clues, normally it should be a nearby resident." Lu Zhaoling said his speculation, "You often come here, and the nearby residents should be familiar with it." ”
"Well, you have some truth in what you said, think about it carefully, the man disappeared after reporting the crime, and I was in a hurry to bring someone out, and I didn't pay attention to when he left."
"Generally, after reporting the crime, civilians will return to the scene of the crime with the officers and soldiers." The more Lu Zhaoling thought about it, the more he felt that the person who reported the case was very suspicious.
"You mean, the person who reported the crime was the murderer, and after committing the crime, he deliberately disguised himself as a civilian to report the crime to the government, but why is this?" Yang An wondered.
If things are the same as Lu Zhaoling speculated, the murderer seems to have deliberately lured Yang An, but the purpose of doing so is difficult to explain, unless...... He knew that Yang Che would come tonight, and he wanted Yang Che to bump into him and cause a misunderstanding, so it was best to kill Yang An on impulse.
When Lu Zhaoling thought about it, he felt a little chill in his back, like a pair of invisible eyes staring at them in the dark.
"You two," Lu Zhaoling glanced at Yang Che and Yang An respectively, "Do you have any enemies with deep grudges?" ”
"Nope." Yang Che said coldly.
"Well...... There are always a few enemies in the office. Yang An glanced at Yang Che with some apprehension, "But most of them are in government affairs, and this has nothing to do with Che'er's mother and son." ”
"I suspect that the murderer is coming at the two of you, and someone wants Yang Che to kill you." Lu Zhaoling said to Yang An.
It is also a mystery why the murderer knew Yang Che's whereabouts, and it is more likely that he came to Yang Che.
Lu Zhaoling thought in his heart.
"I know, I'll send someone to investigate as soon as possible." Yang An nodded to Lu Zhaoling, and then glanced at Yang Che, "Che'er, you ...... tonight Come home with me first? He asked tentatively.
Yang Che did not answer.
He was already disgusted with Yang An, and now it was impossible to go back with him, but Lu Zhaoling was not worried that he would be alone.
"You'd better go back with me." Lu Zhaoling said.
Yang Che's eyes moved, and he whispered, "Where is my mother?" ”
"Leave your mother to me, and I will bury her in the Yang family." Yang An said sincerely.
Yang Che slowly turned around, returned to his mother, picked her up with a gentle movement, and came to Yang An: "Although I know that you are not a good thing, ...... Buried in the Yang family, this is my mother's wish. I gave her to you because she liked you. But you failed her, and I will never forgive you. ”
Yang An looked at the lifeless woman in Yang Che's arms, and his heart was not happy, he sighed and took this body from Yang Che's hands: "It's me who owes her." She won't be let down by anyone again in the future. ”
Yang Che finally gave Yang An a deep look, turned his head and left.
Lu Zhaoling hurriedly followed.
"Are you going back to Shen Mansion?" She asked behind Yang Che.
Yang Che let out a sullen "um".
During the day, the two were still talking and laughing, who would have expected such a tragedy to happen at night.
Lu Zhaoling also sighed a little sadly in his heart.
At the beginning, she knew that her father and mother had died, and although she had been separated from her father and mother for many years, the tearing pain in her heart can still be clearly recalled.
And Yang Che's mother, who was still getting along day and night a few days ago, suddenly died today, and he saw the tragic state of the corpse with his own eyes.
What a curse it must be.
