Wei State Mansion, Beijing.

"Your mother's behavior is really weird." Xu San glared at Xia Yu. "She forces you to go out and make money, so you don't go home if you don't make money. At the time, I thought it didn't make sense. It's not something a normal person would do. Now it seems that she deliberately kicked you out of the house, fearing that you would be involved in her future crimes. ”

Xia Yu's eyes were red. In recent years, my mother's temper has grown for her younger brother's illness. He often yelled at him, and after scolding, he often cried bitterly.

Bai Tang looked at him with pity and said, "I went to the medicine hall where she frequented and asked. Before she drove you out, she had already cut off your brother's medicine for five or six days. ”

Xia Yu was shocked: "What? "My brother is my mother's lifeline. Mother actually cut off his medicine?

"Your brother's illness is all dependent on those expensive medicines." Bai Tang sighed, "She drove you away." He gave up your brother's life and moved without you. If I'm not mistaken, she's in—"

Xu San snapped his fingers: "Abandon the horse to protect the handsome." ”

Xia Yu was shocked and dazed: "You ...... What to say? My mother...... To protect me? ”

"Something very dangerous must have happened, so that your mother had to give up her youngest son's life for you, and killed Cai Baihu with her own life!"

Xia Yu covered her face: "My mother hasn't revealed any news to me......"

Yuan Qu came to report: "Third master, Shen Zhutou asks to see." ”

Xu San sighed: "Lord Zhong is interesting enough." You also sent Shen Zhutou to report to us? ”

Shen Zhutou didn't simply inform them of Lord Zhong's findings.

"The lord said that throwing the corpse in the mulberry garden is to marry the son. So, please think about it, after you arrived in Beijing, did you offend anyone from the military department? ”

Bai Tang smiled bitterly: "I really haven't offended anyone." ”

Shen Zhutou smiled: "Then, my lord asked me to bring you a message." Cai Baihu's two pro-soldiers may be the murderers. The old man who guards the door in his house knows something inside. After that, he took his leave.

Xu San was surprised: "What is this?" Lord Zhong is not good at interrogating those two personal soldiers, doesn't even an old man guarding the house have nowhere to start? ”

Bai Tang groaned: "I'm worried that the people of Shuntianfu will be watched by the military department, and they will kill the old man." ”

Xu San's heart moved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "There is a way!" ”

After a quiet half a month, Bai Tang got the news. Cai Baihu's relatives have rushed to the capital to deal with his funeral. Prepare to transport him back to his hometown for burial.

As for the old servant, he was a lonely old man in the local area, and he had no way to work, so he had to go back to his cold house to live a difficult life.

That morning, the old man opened the door, and when he was about to go out, one of the legs that he had stepped out of suddenly retracted.

On the bluestone slab at the door, there is a thick layer of ice.

Did you splash it on the slate last night when you poured water for washing your feet?

He boiled hot water and poured it on the ice, and when the ice melted, he quickly dragged the water off the slate.

When he got up early the next day, he deliberately checked the stone slab in front of the door first—there was no ice.

However, why do you feel that the surface of the slate is a little blurry and white?

He touched the slate, and it turned out to be a slippery piece of wax!

It turned out to be wax! His back was cold.

Yesterday morning's ice can still comfort yourself is the water for washing your feet. But today's layer of wax, how could it be that they dripped on their own, right?!

What a wicked man! If you can't use ice, you can use wax to harm him!

He was terrified!

The door slammed shut, a heavy gasp.

If you step on it just now, you will be seriously injured if you don't die!

He hurriedly took a shovel and shoveled away the wax layer. While thinking angrily: Who is going to harm him? Who the hell is trying to kill him?!

He thought of Cai Baihu, who died tragically, and thought of Zhen, who was drowned in a basin of cold water, and folded his hands together in horror and inexplicably: "There is a debtor who is wronged." I did not kill you. Don't come to me. ”

That evening, he tossed and turned with his eyes open and couldn't sleep. I didn't fall asleep until the rooster crowed. When I woke up, I first opened the door to check the bluestone slab.

The slate is clean and free of any foreign objects.

He let out a long sigh of relief and went to the well to fetch water.

Suddenly, his legs were fixed on the ground, and his eyes looked hesitantly at the pool of water by the well.

Who has drawn water from a well and sprinkled it outside?

And it's not long, otherwise it would have froze early.

He cautiously walked to the well and crouched down to check the water stains. Immediately you notice that something is wrong: it's not water, it's oil!

The old man wanted to cry without tears. If he didn't step on the oil carelessly, he would fall directly into the well if he was unstable!

No one found out when they died!

He's not stupid, he's shrewd. Someone was trying to harm him, there was no doubt about it.

Although he is only a widow and a lonely, he doesn't want to die yet!

The person who wants to harm him doesn't need to think about it to know who it is! I was lucky before, thinking that they would let me go, but I didn't expect it to be in hot pursuit!

What to do? Looking for Lord Yin to report the crime?

No, there is no evidence and it startles the snake.

Under the domination of the strong desire to survive, the old man's mind turned quickly. I remember that Zhen's eldest son ran an errand in the Wei State Mansion. Xu Qiu'an Xu Sanye is the grandson of the King of Zhongshan, and when he entered the city, he gave Cai Baihu a dismount! Cai Baihu scolded him for a few days and didn't dare to trouble him! It can be seen that Xu Qiu'an is a powerful one! I heard that he has a chivalrous heart and loves to fight unevenly, maybe he can cover himself?

Thinking like this, his cold body finally got some heat. Turned out the silver money that had been saved for many years, covered the door, and rushed to the Wei State Mansion!

Xu Sanyang said to Bai Tang proudly: "What is strategizing, what is Zhizhu in hand!" Just look at the master! ”

Bai Tang smiled. praised him and said: "The third master is both wise and brave!" Bai Tang admired! ”

Xu San's extremely fast interface: "Isn't it admiration?" A wise and brave talent like me, why don't you hurry up and accept it? ”

Bai Tang widened his eyes and said puzzledly: "Aren't you already in my palm?" "How else do you want him to collect it?

What's in the palm of your hand? Xu San stayed for a while before he understood what he meant. The pretty face slowly flushed: "You, how can you-" How can you say such a thing so unscrupulously and unscrupulously?

Bai Tang held his chin and admired Xu San's peach blossom powder face, smiling ambiguously and evilly!

Xu San admitted defeat and fled: "I'll go and listen to what they talked about first!" ”

Bai Tang's smile slowly retracted. His expression was slightly condensed: Xu San knows it! In the past, he would not be defeated so easily, and he would definitely fight to the end with all kinds of yellow jokes with him! I really can't fight, I can do it!

He touched his flat chest and smiled suddenly: Okay, you can pretend. See how long you can hold back!

In Xia Yu's house, the old servant was holding hot tea in his hand, and his calves were still shaking.

"Young Master Xia, I originally planned to hide this matter in my stomach and bury it in a coffin. But, Xia Gongzi, let me tell you this secret, can you ask Xu Sanye to help me leave Beijing safely and find a place to die? ”

Xia Yu was excited and indifferent.

"I'm just a minion!"

"This matter has something to do with the Lian Gongzi of Mulberry Garden!" The old man hurriedly said, "Isn't Xu Sanye a good friend of Lian Gongzi?" Surely he wouldn't watch Lian Gongzi fall into danger, right? ”
