Pingzi thought it was strange, because he had seen that lady and her lame husband last night, why did the lady who had spent the night disappear? There is also a foreign lady and his party, and there seems to be one less maid.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, maybe it was that when he went to ask about the bracelet, they had already disembarked, and he didn't see it.

Although I vaguely felt that it was not like that, after all, the guests had not yet started to disembark at that time, but there was only one possibility when I thought about it. People can't just disappear out of thin air, they must have gone before they were paying attention.

Hirako sighed, closed the hatch, and quickly forgot about it.

At this time, Bai Heran had already pretended to be the maid Xiaoju, and the winter snow that came quietly on the boat last night was dressed as Zhuyun, and the two followed the silent side of the foreign lady who was pretending to be a member, and was whispering quietly.

Jun Murin had already disembarked from the ship, his face had been changed again, and his legs had been restored to good condition by the white crane. The target of both of them is the Lancheng Guard, but the white crane is dyed in the light, and Jun Murin is in the dark.

When Mrs. Waiwai and her party got off the boat, the boatmen actually looked forward to it, because she was very proud along the way, and from time to time she would reward some things, and the boatmen who brought her water and food every day would be rewarded with a few dollars of broken silver. At this time, when we arrive at the destination, if nothing happens, there will definitely be a reward when the lady gets off the ship. So people are waiting, all looking forward to it.

It's a pity that no one was rewarded, not a single copper plate was thrown, and the three people in the group all had a straight face, as if they were very angry.

The boatmen wondered in their hearts, and they were disappointed that they didn't get a reward, but they didn't dare to express their displeasure, let alone say more. After all, it's in the realm of Lancheng, and the prefect of Lancheng is the brother of the foreign lady, who dares to provoke it?

So the boatmen only wondered why she was angry. Could it be that somewhere snubbed people and upset them, right?

The three of them went up to the pier, stood on the shore and looked around, but no one came for a long time. Mo Yu was angry: "Brother, what's going on? Knowing that I am in Lancheng today, why didn't you send a car to pick me up? Hmph, shouldn't you have accepted a beautiful concubine and even ignored me as a girl, right? After speaking, he turned around and called a boatman, "You go to the Lancheng Mansion for me, go and tell my brother, and say that I have arrived, and ask him to send a car to pick him up." ”

After finishing speaking, he wanted to touch the silver to reward, and the boatman began to laugh when he saw that she had a reward, but unfortunately after waiting for a long time, he found that the wife didn't touch anything. Mo Yu sighed, "Go and call someone, if you call someone, you will naturally be rewarded, and my brother will not be stingy." ”

The boatman didn't know why, so he told the captain where he was going, and trotted into the city.

Another boatman brought a chair for her to sit on, and Mo Yu sat down unceremoniously, the anger on his face still unsubsided.

It was noticed that one of the hands of the Waiwai Lady had been shrunk into her sleeve, occasionally revealing a small section, as if it was wrapped in a white cloth, as if it had been wounded and bandaged. I couldn't help but feel worried, thinking that if they were injured on their own boat, would the prefect of Lancheng blame them? I'll be back in two days, and if something happens, it's not easy.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the shipwright who reported the news finally returned, and he came back in a horse-drawn carriage. He sat alongside the coachman outside the carriage, followed by another carriage, which was noticeably wider and more ornate than the one in front. Bai Heran heard someone whisper: "That's Lord Wei's car, I think it's Lord Wei who came to pick up his sister-in-law in person." ”

The two carriages stopped at the dock, and when the boat arrived at the dock, it quickly jumped down, ran to Mo Yu's side and replied: "Madam, the prefect has arrived in person." After saying that, he retreated, but looking at his expression, it is estimated that he didn't get a reward.

Mo Yu stood up from his chair and looked angrily at the people who got out of the carriage behind him. It can be seen from the clothes that it is Lord Prefect Wei, because the brother and sister are still somewhat similar in appearance, and it is not difficult to recognize.

Mo Yu raised a hand and wiped it on his eyes, tears flowed out instantly, and his eyes turned red.

When he spoke again, his voice was hoarse, and he shed tears as he spoke: "Brother, I thought I would never see you again, brother, you have to make the decision for me!" She hid her face with her hands, and people realized that the right hand of the lady was indeed bandaged.

Wei Jingtong, the prefect of Lancheng, stood in front of Mo Yu with a frown, staring at Mo Yu for a long time, and just when Bai Heran and the others almost thought that his disguise had not deceived him, he finally spoke: "Don't cry, get in the car first." ”

An accompanying official helped Bai Heran and his party into the carriage, and Wei Jingtong also got on with him, and the two carriages turned around and entered Lancheng, and the boatmen on the shore breathed a sigh of relief. The captain asked the boatmen, "What's the matter with the hands of the other lady?" ”

Everyone shook their heads to show that they didn't know, and the boat boss wiped a handful of sweat, and in the winter, he was scared and sweating. I don't know how injured the wife was, but it seems that the Wei Governor's Mansion has no intention of pursuing it, but I hope that if it is not investigated, they can't afford to take this responsibility.

Two carriages came, but the people who went back were crowded into one, and the other was empty.

The silence was accompanied by the white crane and the winter snow, and Wei Jingtong, the prefect of Lancheng, sat opposite. Of course, Wei Jingtong didn't know who the three people on the other side were, he just kept looking at his sister and the two maids beside her.

Mo Yu was unhappy, "Brother, what are you doing?" You didn't pick me up when I came from afar, and now you don't care if I get into your carriage, you look at my hand, one of my fingers is gone, and you don't ask what's going on? The people on the boat said that your temperament changed greatly after you accepted the beautiful concubine, I thought they were talking nonsense, and this is all true? You weren't like this before, you used to treat me well! Now what's going on? ”

Wei Jingtong looked at her hand again, although he hadn't spoken yet, his thoughts were already rolling.

The Liu family in Zhangjiazhen is rich, and he has long known that his sister married into the Liu family, and the two families have been in constant contact over the years. My sister has to go back to her mother's house in Lancheng almost every two years, and he often asks someone to bring some Lancheng specialties to Zhangjia Town.

The relationship between the two brothers and sisters has always been good, and there is still an old lady at home, so this family relationship can be said to be very deep.

But in the past few months, for some reason, he began to become estranged from his sister's family little by little, and even developed to the point that he began to worry about his brother-in-law's money, and even moved the idea of killing him for money.

Once this idea arose, it was out of control, and he began to find various reasons to ask the Liu family for money, and even deceived Liu Yuanwai's only son to Lancheng on the grounds that the old lady missed his grandson, so as to threaten the Liu family to take out more money to feed him.

This repeated request was finally rejected by Liu Yuanwai, and he secretly sent someone to kill Liu Yuanwai in a fit of rage, and threatened his sister not to make a noise, otherwise he would kill the child.

Liu Yuanwai died, and he still wanted to get the treasure house hidden outside, he remembered that his brother-in-law had mentioned the treasure house when he was drunk, and he showed off that the wealth of the Liu family was hidden there. He also knew that his brother-in-law was an iron rooster, and his favorite thing in this life was to make money and save money, and ten taels of silver were sent to the treasure house. So he concluded that there must be a lot of wealth in that treasure house, and that his brother-in-law was dead, and that he had to start with his sister if he wanted to get the treasure house.

So he ordered his sister to come to Lancheng, still using the child as a threat, the purpose was to ask where the treasure house was, and at the same time asked his sister to press the handprint and hand over all the property of his brother-in-law to him.

In fact, he didn't kill his sister originally, after all, he was his sister, and he always felt a little unbearable.

But just a few days ago, his beloved concubine told him that he had to do things thoroughly, and if he didn't cut the grass and not eradicate the roots, the consequences would be endless. He thinks that Mrs. Liu is his sister, but Mrs. Liu may not be willing to forgive her own brother, everyone knows that you sent someone to kill her husband and kidnapped her son, so it's no wonder if you don't fight hard. When Mrs. Liu instigates the old lady to make trouble with her, he will not only lose a sister, but also most likely lose his mother. Compared to the mother, the younger sister is not so important.

Only by killing all three members of the Liu family can he get all the wealth of the Liu family safely and soundly.

These are the words of the concubine, and he is convinced of it. So he sent someone to find Alain and laid down the order to kill.

Alain is his person, a secret post sent by him to protect his sister in the past, but he didn't expect a few years of protection, and in the end he got a killing order. But Alan didn't have a choice, although she went to protect Mrs. Liu, she was always Wei Jingtong's subordinate. The master ordered that she could only execute, not only to execute, but also to take Mrs. Liu's finger after the matter was completed, and use it to carry out calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, so as to smoothly transfer the Liu family's business outside.

Wei Jingtong thought about these things, and there was a moment of confusion in his mind, and he was suddenly very surprised why his temperament changed so much, and when did he start to make such a change? Why is his sister, who has been loved since childhood, now that he wants to kill him? And just for the money. He's not a money-loving person, is he? He has been the prefect of Lancheng for so many years, he has never been greedy for silver, and he has never touched a penny that he shouldn't have taken, what is going on now?

He couldn't figure it out, and his head started to hurt.

In recent months, he has often had headaches, and when he was at home, his concubine would help him press gently and softly for a while, and it would get better, but no one helped him press it at this time, so that his face was blue in pain, and his teeth were almost broken, so he passed through this pain.

After the pain, the previous sense of loss disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by suspicion of the sister in front of him.

Why are people who are already dead alive?
