A knife in love

Chapter 1440

Everyone swarmed towards Motian Ridge.Steward Wang reminded all Zhuang Ding to be careful while walking, if someone sneak attack, they must work together to defend against powerful enemies.If someone dared to run away timidly, he would never think about entering Wangjiazhuang again in this life.All Zhuang Ding nodded in agreement, and some even said loudly: "We have two or three hundred people here, and each of them will drown the enemy with a mouthful of saliva. Are you afraid that someone will dare to be tyrannical?!"

Listening to the yelling and talking of the crowd, Wang Xiaoyu sneaked up to Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan, winked at them, and deliberately slowed down.Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan also slowed down when they saw her appearance like this.After a while, the three fell behind the crowd.Wang Xiaoyu saw that he was far away from everyone, so he lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Mr. Li, you know that Black and White Impermanence will not be on the top of Motian Ridge, why do you have to go for nothing? And I just wanted to Ask Uncle Wang where Yu Er is, why don't you allow me to speak?"

Li Qiufeng said: "Miss Wang, don't forget that Black and White Impermanence was scared away by Qi Jiu, and we were also rescued by Qi Jiu. Qi Jiu told us about Yu's second digging a trap on the top of Motianling. If you Suddenly asked where Yu Lao Er went, and the Japanese pirates hiding in Wangjiazhuang would know that we deliberately concealed things, and maybe they would suspect that we and Qi Jiu had known each other for a long time. In this way, whether Qi Jiuzang or not, there is no It's of no use."

When Li Qiufeng said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "You two girls, please remember that no matter who asks, we just say that we don't know what happened to make black and white impermanence disappear, so we escaped. As for the old man Second, we can only investigate the matter of digging traps secretly, and we must not openly ask the second child. Only by letting the pirates think that we know nothing, can they act recklessly and reveal more and more flaws. This matter has nothing to do with it. It's important, the two girls must be careful."

Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu looked at each other, and after a while, they nodded at the same time.

When everyone reached the top of Motian Ridge, Steward Wang ordered all Zhuang Ding to search around. He walked up to Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and Wang Xiaoyu himself, and said, "Miss, Mr. Zhu, Miss Murong, when the three of you just escaped , is this the case on the mountain?”

Wang Xiaoyu looked around deliberately, and then said: "Yes, when we escaped, those two villains were not here, I don't know where they went."

Steward Wang's face was uncertain, and after thinking for a moment, he said to Wang Xiaoyu: "Miss, I'm afraid the matter is not simple. There is one thing I didn't have time to tell you just now. Let's protect the owner and return to the village. Afterwards, I immediately asked Yu Lao Er, who was in charge of the affairs on the mountain, to ask questions. These days, the owner of the village was taking people to work on the mountain, but this morning, the owner of the village rushed to the city to meet Jiang. Master, that’s why Yu Lao Er brought people to work on the mountain. But when we reached the top of the mountain, there was no ghost here, and the situation was extremely strange.”

When Wang Xiaoyu heard this, he deliberately pretended to be awakened from a big dream.She clapped her hands together and said, "That's right! If they were all on the mountain, those two villains wouldn't dare to mess around."

Wang Guanjia said: "But we searched the whole Wangjiazhuang, but we didn't even see the shadow of Yu Laoer. Not only did he disappear, but also several of his cronies disappeared. I knew the situation was different, so I I called over a dozen folks who were working on the mountain this morning for questioning. They said that after going to Motianling today, they moved bricks and dug ditches like a few days ago. But less than one did At that time, Zhou Laogou, the servant of the owner’s house, ran up to Motianling, and whispered to Yu Laoer for a while. Then Yu Laoer asked everyone to stop what they were doing and asked them to dig a big hole. After the pit was dug, he said that he would not work today and asked Zhou Laogou to take everyone back to the village to rest."

When Steward Wang said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "After Zhou Laogou brought everyone back to Zhuangzi, he placed them in more than a dozen empty rooms on the north side of Zhuangzi, and only said to rest here first. They were not allowed to leave, and then he left in a hurry. These people have been waiting for lunch, but no one came to deliver the food in the afternoon. Yu Laoer took them outside the owner's mansion and waited quietly for the owner to ask questions."

The more Wang Xiaoyu heard it, the more surprised he became, and he said, "Could it be that my father ordered Uncle Zhou to order Yu Er to dig a trap?"

Steward Wang smiled wryly, and said, "Miss, how could such a thing happen? After the master of the village came back from the city, he discussed matters with us in the main hall. Later, there was an incident of Aunt Huang's poisoning. How can there be time for Zhou Laogou to order Yu Laogou to dig a hole? It is clear that someone and Zhou Laogou colluded with each other and asked Yu Laogou to lead people to dig traps on the mountain, intending to kill the eldest lady, Mr. Zhu and Miss Murong .”

Wang Xiaoyu said tremblingly: "Uncle Zhou has always been loyal, how could he, how could he harm me?"

Steward Wang shook his head, and said, "You know people, you know your face, but you don't know your heart. Zhou Laogou has been quiet all these years, and he seems to be a loyal and honest person. But when you think about it carefully, this person is cautious in his words and deeds. Serving by the owner's side, I'm afraid it might be a little weird."

Wang Xiaoyu said: "So, Zhou Laogou and Yu Laoer colluded to dig traps on the mountain to harm people?"

Steward Wang said: "That's the trouble. The hole was dug by Yu Er, and Yu Laogou discussed with Zhou Laogou for a long time before digging the hole. It seems that the two of them are inseparable. It cannot be said that Yu Laogou and Zhou Laogou are bad people. If someone uses the name of the owner to ask Zhou Laogou to give orders to Yu Laogou, they will be used by others. Right now, Yu Laogou and Zhou Laogou are both It's gone, and we don't know if they are the mastermind of this matter."

When Steward Wang said this, he paused for a while, and then said: "This is not the only strange thing that happened in the Zhuangzi. The two Zhuang Ding of Majiazhuang who was brought to our Zhuangzi by Mr. Li also died inexplicably... ..."

When Li Qiufeng heard Steward Wang say that Hou Laowai and Lao Chen were dead, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked, "Dead? How did they die?"

Wang Guanjia said: "It's strange here. These two people were locked in an empty house. There were five or six capable Zhuang Ding guarding inside and outside the house, which can be said to be heavily guarded. At noon, someone brought them food , it turned out that the two people rolled on the ground motionless, and then realized that they were dead. The surnamed Hou had a stab wound on his lower abdomen. I heard from Mr. Li that he was stabbed before he entered the village. There were no fatal injuries. The one surnamed Chen was even more strange. There was no wound on his whole body, so he died inexplicably. I asked the five or six Zhuang Ding who guarded the two separately for questioning. When they answered, there was nothing wrong. The flaw left me at a loss. Now Yu Laoer, several of his cronies, and Zhou Laogou have disappeared, and I don’t know who planned to dig the trap here. The two of Majiazhuang A Zhuang Ding died in our Zhuangzi again. The owner of the Zhuangzi said that since he was killed, he had to wait for Master Jiang to come back and deal with it.”
