Liu Rong glanced at the white cloth in Xu Da's hand, and said angrily: "I want to ask you, why aren't you here in North Lane?" Do you know that the city is now searching for assassins, and a suspicious person like you would rather kill by mistake than let go! ”

Xu Da explained with a bitter face: "Master Liu, my brother's wife went this morning, he fled from the south with my family, and there are no relatives at home to help, no, my brother can't spare time, I can't help with it?" ”

When Liu Rong heard this, he reacted, "This cloth is for the deceased woman in your brother's family?" ”

Xu Dameng nodded, and asked tentatively: "With so many officials gathered in Beicheng, could it be that the assassin who assassinated Taishou is here?" ”

Liu Rong nodded silently, shook off Xu Da's irritable eyes of "You will really make trouble for me", beckoned, and motioned for Xu Da to go with him.

Under Liu Rong's escort, Xu Da safely crossed the layers of search lines and returned to Wang Dayou's home.

At this time, the officials were searching the door to door in front of Xu's house, and seeing that they were about to bang on the door, Xu, who had just arrived at Wang's house, rushed over, saying that his family was here.

A white banner was hung in front of Wang Dayou's house, and the official subconsciously thought it was a condolence banner hung for Mrs. Cui, the Taishou family, and he didn't know that someone had died in Wang Dayou's house.

They walked up, and they were immediately taken aback when they saw the two sisters and brothers of the Wang family who were kneeling in the house and burning paper money.

"What a bad luck! I don't say early that someone in my family has died!" The two officials scolded, as if hiding from snakes and scorpions, and quickly retreated outside the door.

Wang Dayou was already sad, but he still had to be strong to deal with the two officials and apologized repeatedly.

Xu Da also said good things on the side, and the faces of the two officials looked better.

Even if someone in the family died, those who should be interrogated had to be interrogated, and the official asked Xu Dayou and Wang Dayou to call out all the family members.

So, the Wang family led the three brothers and sisters of Xu Yue, plus the two sisters and brothers of the Wang family, to the gate, and lined up in a row to wait for the official to interrogate.

The young children did not let go, and this attitude was surprisingly positive.

However, the assassination of Taishou is a major event, and with the death of Mrs. Taishou, the upper authorities are furious, and the people below naturally dare not be contemptuous at such a time.

Two officials, one asks adults, and the other is in charge of Xu Yue's children.

He started with Wang Xiaolang, but what can Wang Xiaolang, who is less than two years old and has just learned to speak, say?

It's just that he was so frightened that he hid behind his sister with his mouth shut, his small body trembled, and tears were in his eyes and he was about to burst.

When the official saw it, he felt that he was bored, so he stood up again, starting with the eldest Xu Dalang.

"Did you see any strange people last night? Or did you hear some strange noise? ”

Xu Dalang glanced to the west as if unconscious, and then shook his head.

The official frowned, and asked again: "Then what were you doing last night?" ”

"Of course it's sleeping, don't you sleep at night?" Xu Erniang asked curiously with a pair of innocent eyes.

The official's face darkened, "You little girl, you don't have to talk if I didn't ask you, you understand?" ”

Xu Erniang let out an "oh", looking well-behaved, and she was so choked that the official was speechless for a while.

So much so that after asking Xu Dalang, when he should have asked Xu Erniang, he skipped her directly and asked Xu Yue first:

"Did you hear any unusual noises or see any strange people last night?"

Xu Yue replied ignorantly: "The young lady saw the fairy grandfather in a dream. ”

Official: "......"

Okay, next.

The eldest lady of the Wang family was wearing a white filial piety flower on her head, her eyes were already swollen from crying, and she was holding her young brother in her arms.

The official took a deep breath, didn't ask directly, walked up to his companion, and shook his head.

The officials who asked Xu Da and the others couldn't ask anything, they all went to bed early, or at night Wang Dayou's family suddenly came to the bad news, and they hurried over to help.

A group of people testified to each other, and someone had just died in the family, and the two officials didn't want to get involved in this bad luck anymore, so they fiercely told them to keep a low profile and not to cause trouble to the government, so they continued to the next household.

As soon as the people left, Wang Dayou looked at his wife who was still lying on the kang and was only covered with a thin layer of linen, and suddenly felt sadness coming from it, a good man, and couldn't help covering his face and hiding to the side and crying.

Xu Da knew that he was guilty of not being able to do a good job for the Tong family, but this happened so coincidentally.

There is Mrs. Taishou Cui Shi on her head in front, and the status disparity is so great, if these little people are not low-key, if Taishou is unhappy, I don't know if the Tong family can be buried properly.

Xu Da and Wang glanced at each other, and the couple sighed at the same time.

Wang motioned to Xu Dayou to comfort Wang Dayou, walked up to Xu Yue, and admonished:

"You take the eldest mother and Xiaolang to our house to rest for a while, and the two of them have to keep vigil for their mother at night, such a young child, I'm afraid it's not easy to survive."

Although the funeral can only be held in a low-key and low-key manner, this mother-son friendship must still be adhered to.

The eldest lady of the Wang family had red eyes, shook her head and said, "Auntie, I want to stay with A-Niang, let my brother go, he is here, and Daddy and I have to watch him." ”

The Wang family Xiaolang looked ignorant, and the Wang family sighed in his heart, seeing that the Wang family's aunt insisted on staying, respecting her opinion, and asking the three Xu Yue brothers and sisters to take the Wang family Xiaolang home.

The official messenger had already warned against high-profile activities, and the brothers of the Huokang Gang also left one after another, and soon the courtyard of the Wang family was deserted, leaving only Xu Da and his wife to accompany Wang Dayou's father and daughter.

And Xu Yue's side just returned home with Wang Xiaolang, and the little guy's little head drooped.

Xu Erniang carried him to the kang, covered the quilt, and the villain who had been panicked all night fell asleep.

"It's really pitiful, I didn't have a mother at such a young age, how can I bring it with only Uncle Dayou in the future?" Xu Erniang was so worried that her brows furrowed.

Xu Yue pressed the corner of the quilt for Wang Xiaolang, thinking of the eldest brother's subconscious glance when the official asked him just now, and remembering the abnormal behavior of his brother who suddenly sat up before Wang Dayou knocked on the door last night, and already had a guess in his heart.

"Brother, is the assassin really in Beicheng?" Xu Yue suddenly asked in a low voice.

Xu Dalang, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the kang and drawing a board, heard this, slowly raised his head, nodded, and pointed to the west again.

Xu Yue was silent for a moment and didn't ask again.

These ordinary people, in this ancient feudal and hierarchical ancient times, they had to be careful with every step.

She just begged that this matter would not be implicated in her own family, and as for reporting or something, it was best not to even have such thoughts.
