Chapter 144: How did those people in the stockade die?

After breakfast, the carriage rushed to the nearest county seat, and along the way happened to meet a group of people who came to check the situation in the cottage.

The one who took the lead was the father and son of the Yao family who Mu Xi saved yesterday.

Xu Zizhen caught a glimpse of the pedestrian at first sight, and hurriedly asked Qingsong to stop, and the person opposite also stopped the line.

"Daddy!"

Xu Zizhen ran to a familiar carriage excitedly, Xu Xianling was stunned for a moment, and then opened the curtain in surprise.

"Zizhen, it's really you!"

After his son disappeared, the bandit village sent a letter asking him to prepare silver, and his hair was about to bald.

How could he not be excited to see his son intact at this time.

"It's me, Daddy!"

Xu Zizhen was as happy as a second fool, the father and son had a touching and tearful encounter, and Xu Zizhen remembered the wooden Xi in the carriage.

"Dad, it was Miss Mu who saved me, and she also saved the people who were arrested in the whole village."

As soon as these words ended, Mu Xi and Jun Tong also got out of the carriage, and Yao Zheng's father and son hurriedly spoke.

"My lord, this is the girl we saw yesterday."

"Wood girl."

Yao Gongzi's eyes were full of joy, he didn't expect to see this girl again, his heart was full of gratitude.

Only Xu Xian Ling glanced at Mu Xi suspiciously, and couldn't believe that she was the one who made them all spurn and helpless!

Xu Zizhen knew his father very well, and when he saw his eyes, he was a little unhappy.

"Dad, what kind of eyes are you looking at? Don't believe me? I ...... with my own eyes."

"Xu County Order, it is estimated that there are still many things to deal with in the village, you should deal with them quickly."

Jun Tong interrupted Xu Zizhen's words, although his tough tone made Xu Xian Ling a little unhappy, he still didn't bother with Jun Tong in the end.

"What this son said is, Zizhen, since it is this girl who eliminates the harm for the people, then the county order should thank her on behalf of the people.

You take them back to the house first, and I'll come to you after I've dealt with the things in the village." ”

"Okay, Dad!"

Xu Zi was so happy to do this, the father and son of the Yao family politely thanked Mu Xi, and then took Xu County to order them to go straight to the village.

Xu Zizhen took Mu Xi and they went directly to Xu's house, and Mrs. Xu immediately cried when she saw Xu Zizhen, who had been missing for many days.

"Zizhen, you're finally back, my mother wants to kill you, woo woo woo ......"

Mrs. Xu's eyes were about to swell into peaches, and it seemed that she was crying a lot, Xu Zizhen smiled at Mu Xi and them embarrassedly.

"Mother, haven't I only been away for two days?"

"Is this an easy two-day day? You haven't heard from you for two days, and your father and I are dying! ”

Mrs. Xu didn't know where Xu Zi really came back from, otherwise she was afraid that she would be scared to death.

Xu Zizhen remembered that his father had explained this and had not yet told his mother, so he could only tell his mother about his life-saving benefactor.

As for the specifics, let his father explain.

Knowing that Mu Xi was Xu Zizhen's life-saving benefactor, Mrs. Xu was very enthusiastic about Mu Xi, "Miss Mu, come in quickly, I will have someone prepare breakfast for you immediately." ”

"Don't be busy, we've already had breakfast."

Mu Xi waved his hand, but Mrs. Xu didn't listen, and took Mu Xi's hand and spoke enthusiastically.

Mu Xi: ......

It's really helpless to meet such an enthusiastic lady.

The male guest was handed over to Xu Zizhen to entertain, and Mu Xi finally sent Mrs. Xu away and went back to the house to rest for a while.

As a result, Mrs. Yao came to visit her.

"Benefactor, thank you for your rescue last night."

Mrs. Yao learned that Mu Xi had come to the county magistrate's mansion, so she hurriedly rushed over with her daughter.

Mu Xi was a little helpless, "I really don't have to be so polite." ”

"Yes, yes, Miss Mu is the lifesaver of our Yao family."

Miss Yao is beautiful, she has regained her true face after dressing up, and she is a beautiful woman.

"This is a thank you gift we have prepared, and I hope Miss Mu will not dislike it."

Mrs. Yao asked the maid to bring a bunch of gold and silver jewelry, which almost brightened Qiongzhi's eyes.

"I don't dislike it."

Mu Xi was very satisfied, the Yao family was really good, she gave Qiong Zhi a look, and Qiong Zhi sent the people with gold and silver jewelry into Mu Xi's room.

The Yao family is sensible, Mu Xi took out the Five Emperor Money in his hand, took one and flicked it lightly.

"Mrs. Yao, your distress this time is not an accident, you have to be careful of the villains around you."

"Someone is trying to harm us?"

Mrs. Yao stood up abruptly, and after realizing that she had lost her temper, she hurriedly confessed to Mu Xi.

"I'm sorry Miss Mu, I just didn't expect our Yao family to be so eye-catching now."

They are just rich people in the East Side, and it seems that someone wants a piece of her family's pie.

"Not an outsider."

Mu Xi shook his head, "Mrs. Yao is generous, I will give you a hexagram for free, be careful of those close to you." ”

"Thank you, Miss Mu."

Mrs. Yao's face was pensive, and she soon showed a look of sudden realization, "Miss Mu, I still have important things to deal with, so I will be out of company first." ”

"Okay, go slowly."

Mu Xi sent everyone from the Yao family away with a smile, returned to the house and took a satisfied look at the gold and silver jewelry, and then all turned into the space.

"Girl, Xu Xianling is back."

Qiong Zhi trotted in, Mu Xi put away the joy on her face, waited patiently, and sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Xu came to invite her in person.

"Miss Mu, my husband has something I want to know from you."

Her eyes were red again, probably because she knew where Xu Zizhen had been in the past two days, and her whole person was in a trance.

Mu Xi raised his feet and went to the hall of Xufu, Mu Li and Jun Tong were there, but the father and son of the Yao family had already gone home.

"Wood girl."

Seeing Mu Xi, Xu Xian Ling showed respect, not as suspicious as at the beginning, but a little more respectful.

"Xu still has some doubts, and I hope that Miss Mu can solve them."

"Just ask."

Mu Xi had long expected that he would have a lot of doubts, so she calmly picked a place to sit down without panicking at all.

Xu Xian Ling glanced at his son who was full of admiration for Mu Xi, and his expression was a little helpless.

"How did those people in the stockade die?"

When they arrived, the village was full of corpses, and the strange thing was that the corpses could not find the wounds, and they had been examined, and they were not poisoned.

If this girl did it alone, it would be really shocking.

"Xu County Commander should know that the mountain bandits in Tiger Ridge are doing evil things."

Mu Xi played with the copper coin in his hand, and Xu Xianling agreed, "Yes, the mountain bandits in Tiger Ridge are indeed a headache."

They have done a lot of evil, and our government has tried to suppress bandits many times, but because the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they have not succeeded for many years. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Xianling was full of resentment, "He even quietly kidnapped my son, just to let me cooperate with him and bribe me and his people." ”

"Dad, did you agree?"

Xu Zizhen hurriedly spoke eagerly, and a bad premonition emerged in his heart.

Xu Xianling glanced at him faintly, "If you agree, will Miss Mu still see you when she goes?" ”

Xu Zizhen: ......

It's a bit heart-wrenching, but it seems quite understandable.
