The two girls were frightened, fearing that they were sane. The doctor bowed, then shook his head and said regretfully, "The grass people's medical skills are shallow, I am afraid that they can only treat the external injuries of the two girls, but their minds are difficult to recover." ”

"And what about the other one?" Xu Chu hurriedly asked when he heard this.

Although the other girl woke up, she seemed to be frightened and refused to let anyone come near at the moment. The girl was wounded in the heart and lungs, so the grass people didn't dare to force their way to avoid the wound from breaking open again......"

It was getting late, and it was almost time to eat, but Xu Chu was still in the frightened girl's house and couldn't come out.

Xiao Qinglang sat in front of the bookcase, looking at the news he asked Wei Yan to collect from Tianxianglou, but his face was gloomy and ugly, his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, and after reading the things in his hand, he immediately raised his hand and slapped it on the bookcase.

He has always been moody and angry, and he is especially known as the jade-faced Yama in the capital, except for the iron-faced selflessness of judging cases fairly, because he rarely shows anger. That kind of heart, only in front of Xu Chu, will be softer.

The tea cup on the table shook a few millimeters from the sudden knock on the table under his anger, and even the tea soup inside splashed ripples, and it was uneven for a long time.

Xiao Qinglang squinted and closed the spy in his hand, placed it in his sleeve, and then got up and walked out of Yishan Hall.

In the past 20 years, those people have really become more and more bold. From a petty fight of robbing homes and houses, to bribing officials, it finally developed into a blatant abduction of good people's women, forcing good people to become prostitutes, and luring officials to corruption.

In recent years, most of the villages near the junction of Yunzhou and Jinzhou have been abandoned, leaving behind mostly lonely and widowed. The so-called people are not living well, and it is probably about the same.

Before he knew it, he paced to the side courtyard, and when he reached the end of the corridor, he found that Mingzhu was still waiting anxiously back and forth.

"Third uncle, are you here to find Sister Xu?" Xiao Mingzhu saw that his third uncle's eyes were dark, his expression was full of anger, and he asked with some anxiety in his heart.

Xiao Qinglang frowned, reached out and rubbed his forehead, but did not answer her words, only whispered: "There is no movement inside?" ”

"No, just now Sister Xu asked Rui Niang to send some warm wine and noodle soup in. The house doctor also prescribed medicine powder to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and Sister Xu also took it in. ”

Xiao Qinglang nodded, looked at the closed door, and then said as if unintentionally: "There is news from the capital, saying that Hua Xiangye has the heart to find a family affair for Hua Wuxi, and now there are already candidates, and the eldest daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family can be regarded as a famous lady, a model of a lady, and a good match with the Hua family." ”

As soon as Xiao Mingzhu heard this, he stomped his feet and subconsciously shouted: "Then how can it be done, he ......"

But as soon as she saw her third uncle's clear eyes, her momentum weakened inexplicably, and she muttered a few words, and then said indignantly: "That flower peacock is going to marry someone else, I'm afraid it will also harm others." ”

"But since ancient times, the parents ordered the matchmaker to say that since the Hua family has released the rumors, I am afraid that the Zhang family, the head of the household, also has the intention of getting married." Xiao Qinglang straightened his long sleeves, smiled and glanced at Xiao Mingzhu, who was becoming more and more out of shape, until Xiao Mingzhu's face was white for a while and red for a while and he gritted his teeth and ran away, he looked at the carved wooden door again.

In fact, what he said just now was not groundless. Hua Xiang and Zhang Shangshu have always had a personal relationship, and both families have the intention of getting married, and they know something about Hua Wuxi, so for so many years, he would rather be a plaything and curl up in the small Yunzhou City than go back to Beijing to find an official position.

In the early years, the emperor intended to marry Princess Chaoyang and Hua Wuxi, but Hua Wuzhi refused on the grounds of frailty. Then, Hua Wuzhi went to see Xiao Mingzhu, who didn't know anything yet, and there was no news from him for many years after that.

He had never cared about the love of his juniors, and the so-called family pair was not completely unreasonable. But now, somehow, he thinks that maybe it's more important to be happy......

is even more exposed, but Xiao Qinglang is still standing under the corridor in front of the door, but the deep night can't hide his unique beauty.

The moon and stars are scarce, the twilight is four, and there is finally movement in the house, first the candle is lit, and then a heroic walking figure that does not show the grace of a woman at all appears.

All the depression in my heart is no longer important at this time. And that figure attracted all his attention.

Xu Chu got up and opened the window a little to ventilate, but he vaguely saw a tall figure standing in the gap. Under the moon, the man was as silent as a green lotus. Xu Chu silently withdrew his distracted gaze, but in his mind, he still had the person's pleasing and heart-warming appearance.

When I reached the edge of the bed again, I saw the frightened woman in the corner of the bed pounce on, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and said with difficulty: "Girl...... I know you saved me...... At that time, I saw you......"

She said intermittently, but it did not prevent Xu Chu from listening to it. I think it was when she was given medicine and dressing, and she was conscious.

Xu Chu patted her hand and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, this is the government of the Yunzhou prefect, those thieves have escaped, and now the adults have issued a sea fishing document to arrest them." ”

The woman was slightly relieved when she heard this, but she was still sobbing and trembling, looking so pitiful.

"I'm also investigating the case of the Hibiscus Inn now, can you tell me what happened to you?" Xu Chu asked tentatively.

She knew in her heart that the abducted woman was afraid that she was forced to do many unacceptable things, and then experienced the massacre, and her heart would inevitably be left with trauma. However, she is not a professional psychiatrist, and even if she enlightens her, it is only temporary, unless the thief is caught and the Fa-rectification is carried out, the woman in front of her is afraid that sooner or later she will be swallowed up by the fear and darkness in her heart.

The woman bit her lip and sobbed: "My name is Dongmei, I am from Zhaojia Village, when I fled from that village with my parents a few years ago, I suddenly met a few bandits on horseback and masked, and those people avoided Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhao in the village and forcibly kidnapped me......"

"Then I was taken to a mass grave...... A lot of our sisters live down there. Dongmei recalled what happened at that time, and she was frightened like a frightened bird, and her face was colorless. However, feeling the warmth of Xu Chu holding her hands, she still gritted her teeth and continued with tears, "The days at that time were really terrifying, and I don't know if there will be demons and monsters to ask for your life every day......

"The demons did not come, but the captive sisters became fewer and fewer, until I was dragged to a gorgeous-looking courtyard...... Being fiddled with like a plaything...... she seemed to be devastated, her hands on her head and shivering.

Seeing this, Xu Chu knew that he was afraid that the experience would be too painful. Seeing her trembling again, she hurriedly said softly, "It's okay, it's okay...... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid anymore. If you don't want to say it, don't say it again, let's take our time with the rest. ”

Which Dongmei is also a upright character, she laughed miserably, shook her head and said: "My father and mother died tragically at the hands of that group of wicked people, if I can't take revenge, it's not interesting for me to live." ”

"A lot of sisters have been killed, all kinds of tragic situations, so many officials and nobles seem to look like dogs, but they actually have unsightly habits, and many people have died from those perverted habits." Dongmei looked at Xu Chu, and then pulled down her lower body clothes and pants, but saw that her legs, which were not white, were full of scars from the beating, "I'm lucky." ”

"You say that the wicked people are persecuting the villagers to do evil, but how many of them are there?" Xu Chu frowned.

"There are only about a dozen people, but each of them has a knife, and as long as they don't die, they will be crippled. And I heard some older sisters say that the person in the head had also scraped people alive......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help but shudder. "When I was in the other courtyard, I also heard a wicked person say that Furong is really a beauty, but it's a pity that it's the people above, they can't move ......"

When Xu Chu heard the name of Furong at first glance, the alarm bell sounded in his heart, and Furong, who was once thought to be turned into white bones, suddenly appeared. And who is the pregnant bone in the urn?

She secretly speculated in her heart, thinking that the news that Xiao Qinglang had sent someone to Tianxianglou to investigate had not yet come back, she couldn't help suppressing the doubts in her heart first.

"That'...... Can there be innocent officials being taken away? ”

Dongmei bit her lip and shook her head, suddenly seemed to think of something, and said: "Before, Master Liu, the Tongzhi of Jinzhou City, went to the other courtyard, but he just asked me to sing a few tunes, and asked some things about the other courtyard, but he didn't do anything. She muttered, "Later, a few adults came, and because they were all pleasant, many sisters were looking forward to being ransomed by them." ”

It's just that most men are unkind people, who is willing to bother to work for a few of them?

When Xu Chu heard the key place, his eyes couldn't help but narrow, and his eyes looked at Dongmei a little more scrutiny.

"Have you seen the countenances of the wicked? Or what characteristics can you name? ”

"They mostly cover their faces or cover them, but once a man forcibly ...... in a mass grave" Dongmei grabbed Xu Chu's arm and grabbed her in pain without knowing it, as if she could resist the fear in her heart, "At that time, the black cloth on the man's face was grabbed by me, and I saw that he had a scar on his face, and a sharp-eared monkey with a big black mole on the side of his mouth....."

Xu Chu is not unforgettable, but he still has some memories of the portrait of the fugitive who was arrested in Liulin Village before. If she remembered correctly, two of the bandits who had already been subdued had this trait.

By the time the two finished speaking, it was already midnight. Dongmei suffered a heavy blow before, and then spent her experience telling the past, her heart was frightened and sad, and now she has no energy.
