In the hall of the Zhong family, Second Master Zhong ordered someone to serve tea to Yao Yu.

Yao Yu took the teacup and thanked him, and asked the maid to present a bloodstained jade pendant to Zhong Erye.

"Second master, please see, this is Jia Dashanren's personal belongings, which I secretly hid when I checked his corpse."

Second Master Zhong's face changed suddenly, "Yao Yu! What did you say? ”

He recognized the jade pendant, which he bought for more than a thousand taels of silver when Jia Shan recognized him as his godfather.

Yao Yu looked at Second Master Zhong's expression, thinking in his heart that the information that Dou Yiming brought back should be true.

"Jia Dashan couldn't bear the torture in prison, and when Yan Yingzhou interrogated him severely, he couldn't survive...... And so it went. ”

Zhong Erye was like being struck by lightning, and he sat in the chair, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Yao Yu said: "The deceased is gone, and the second master mourns." It's just that the official is useless, he doesn't have time to save people, so he can only bring out a piece and return the relics to the second master. ”

After Jia Shan was arrested, Zhong Erye took over the Jia family's property, thinking that the yamen would lock him up for a few more days and let him back.

He originally thought that he would take the opportunity to hone his god's heart, and later release the father and son to be more united.

But I didn't expect that Yan Yingzhou would torture Jia Shan to death?

Yao Yu sneered in his heart, "The second master and Jia Dashao have a deep father-son relationship, Jia Dashan died unexplained, and he still relies on the second master to make decisions for him." ”

Second Master Zhong's eyes were like knives, he glared at him suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "If he kills me alone, I will slaughter the Yan family." ”

"Second master, slow down," Yao Yu said slowly, "You and I both want to put Yan Yingzhou to death, and there is a God-given opportunity right now." ”

He told Second Master Zhong that Yan Yingzhou had stolen the Zhong family's secret letter and went to Linquan County overnight to complain.

Second Master Zhong's face was pale, and he couldn't wait to eat Yan Yingzhou's flesh and blood.

"Okay, he wants the old man's life, and the old man will kill his family first."

"Cutting grass needs to be rooted."

Yao Yu held the teacup and unhurriedly floated the tea soup with the tea lid.

"Yan Yingzhou should have arrived in Linquan County, Rao is second master killed more than a dozen members of the Yan family, and Jiang County will not let go of the second master when he comes."

Second Master Zhong gritted his teeth, the green tendons on his neck burst out, and he sneered: "What should I do for today's plan?" ”

Yao Yu smiled calmly, the corners of his slender eyes were slightly swaying, and he was calm and calm.

"Yan Yingzhou colluded with the bandits, his whereabouts were revealed, and his murderous intent arose, intending to intercept and kill the court officials halfway, in order to blame the local loyal people."

Zhong Erye's eyes narrowed, and he stroked the teacup and said, "Go on." ”

"The Yamen sent people to support, but it was too late, Yan Yingzhou and Jiang Junshou both died in the melee, and Xun County ordered the court to ask for an order to suppress the bandits."

"In this way," he said gently, "kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of two henchmen for the second master." ”

Second Master Zhong was still immersed in the shocked suspicion of Jia Shan's death.

He only wanted to cut Yan Yingzhou with a thousand knives, where did he still have the heart to think about what was wrong with Yao Yu's plan?

"How do you want me to help you?"

Yao Yu smiled and said: "My brother-in-law has repaired a book, stamped it with an official seal and sealed it, and the letter shows that Yan Yingzhou has different intentions, and collusion with bandits has become a climate. ”

Second Master Zhong's eyes flashed with cruel light, and the corners of his lips pursed slightly and nodded.

"I also asked Second Master Zhong to send someone to escort the Yamen messenger, and hurry up to present it to Jiang Junshou, so that Yan Yingzhou can suffer the enemy on his back."

Yao Yu saw that Second Master Zhong was sometimes gloomy, sometimes angry, and sometimes full of suspicion, knowing that he still didn't believe that Jia Shan was dead.

When a person has something in mind, it is difficult to notice anything else.

"Yan Yingzhou has asked the Jiang County Guard to lead the troops to come, and based on their footsteps, they should rush to the outskirts of Qinghe County in the near future."

Yao Yu struck while the iron was hot and said with a smile: "When the time comes, please also ask the second master to send hundreds of dead soldiers, disguised as bandits, and fight with the officers and soldiers to kill people and kill people." ”

When Second Master Zhong heard him mention the dead soldiers he raised, he suddenly woke up and asked, "What about Lord Yao?" Sit back and enjoy it? ”

Yao Yu stood up, saluted and said, "The lower official personally led the officials of Chiliu County to ambush in the dark, and the people who covered the second master evacuated safely. ”

"Then," he smiled, "I waited for the court to issue an order to suppress the bandits, and the official cleared the traitors, and the bandits were meritorious......"

Second Master Zhong stared at him, his expression changed a few times, and he spit out a few words from his mouth, "The old man believes in you once." ”

Yao Yu was tall and tall, with a calm bearing, and said with a smile: "The second master can only believe me now, isn't it?" ”

He waved at Second Master Zhong again, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said with a smile: "However, Second Master, don't forget my conditions." ”

Second Master Zhong looked depressed, sighed and said, "Lord Yao is really a person who doesn't suffer at all. ”

"Yes," he said word by word, "I want Ruan Si." ”

Ruan Si did not return all night.

Feng Shaoyu and Yinhua'er and others went out to look for her, although they knew that there was little hope, but they also hoped that she could escape from the den of thieves smoothly.

He blamed himself in his heart, and still refused to go back after looking for most of the day.

"Girl, if only you climbed over this mountain and bypassed any stone, you could find the big boss by the stream like you did when you looked for Dou Yiming."

Yinhua'er was worried about Ruan Si and blamed Feng Shaoyu for not stopping her, but she couldn't bear to be angry with him.

After all, her own young lady's temperament has changed a lot, and she is unpredictable.

"I don't know how Miss is doing now......

Yinhua'er ordered a few subordinates to look for it in another direction, turned his head and said to Feng Shaoyu: "You go back first, your mother is still waiting for you at home." ”

The day before yesterday, Aunt Feng also said that she bought her own vegetables and cooked, and asked them to go over for dinner.

Feng Shaoyu stubbornly shook his head.

Silver Bottle smiled reluctantly: "Miss is very smart, and Jiren has his own natural appearance." It's your mother, don't let her wait in a hurry, she should come out to look for you again. ”

When she said this, Feng Shaoyu couldn't help but feel relieved.

His mother's illness gradually improved, and she coughed less in the past few days, but her foundation was still weak and she couldn't stand the wind and sun.

"Okay, I'll go home, settle my wife, and I'll come out to find the big boss again."

Feng Shaoyu was not ambiguous, and hurried home.

His dilapidated house was like an old man in his old age, as if he would fall down at the slightest hint of wind, standing weakly in the middle of an equally dilapidated house.

Dozens of steps away, he could smell the aroma of steamed rice.

His mother was rarely willing to eat rice today, Feng Shaoyu quickened his pace and ran towards the half-hidden old wooden door.

The aroma of the rice is faintly mixed with the mushy smell of the bottom of the pot.

"Really, I told her not to be busy."

Feng Shaoyu complained, and when he ran to the door, he glanced back at the firewood piled on the ground.

The firewood he picked up last time he went into the mountains was almost exhausted, and after these few days, he chopped a few more piles of firewood and burned them for his mother.

"Mother, I'm back."

Feng Shaoyu pushed the door in, and the smell of rice and paste in the room became stronger.

He walked around to the cramped kitchen, where his mother was not there, and the iron pot on the stove was burning red, and the wood was burning fiercely.

Feng Shaoyu hurriedly put down the steamer, whistling and blowing his hot hands, and turned around to see half-cut pork belly on the cutting board.

There are a few green onions soaked in the copper basin next to it, as well as radish greens.

He was amazed in his heart and said loudly: "Mother? Mother? I'm back, where are you? ”

A strong sense of uneasiness welled up in my heart.

He jerked open the blackened tattered curtains, and walked into his mother's bedroom, where he saw his mother lying on the bunk face inside.

"Mother, are you feeling unwell?"

Feng Shaoyu frowned anxiously and reached out to wrench his mother's shoulder.

His mother turned over in response, her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and she had a dagger in her chest, apparently out of breath.

"Mother!"
