Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 224 Unbelievable

As Hong Haoan and Puhuang, they couldn't meet the imperial envoys, and Lu Yuan also intentionally kept them from participating too much, so it would be safer.

Pu Huang really wanted to know what would happen to the Xia family and Aunt Guan's mother and daughter, so she went to the county government office early. When she was surprised, there were many people crowded there, all of them were filled with righteous indignation, and their faces were full of anger. effort.

Hong Haoan found a corner for Puhuang and carefully protected her, while the Hong family uncle and Guan family stood not far in front of them.

The imperial envoy sat in the first place, with a beard, no specific age, and a deadpan expression. He looked more intimidating than Lu Yuan, "Bring all the suspects up."

The arresting yamen servant who got the order took several principals of the Qin family and Aunt Guan of the Xia family with him. This was a serious crime of colluding with the rebels. A group of people knelt on the ground and lowered their heads.And the second master Qin, before the imperial envoy could speak, he kept begging for mercy: "My lord, please forgive me, we were all deceived and framed by these sluts, and it is true that we have not colluded with the traitors. !"

The imperial envoy patted the gavel, "Quiet, I will ask you before answering. Those ships carrying the children are marked with the Qin family's logo, are they all from the Qin family?"

"My lord, my wife and son-in-law followed Captain Lin to investigate quickly. Among all the boats, five were not from the Qin family, but the original ones disappeared." Compared with the shrinking of the second master Qin, Master Qin was much calmer. up.

These imperial envoys already knew about it, but that's not what he wanted to know, "The stewards in charge of those ships are members of your Qin family, and now you don't see anyone alive or dead, so how can you prove the Qin family's innocence? "

Master Qin Er moved a little, he pointed at the Xia family and Aunt Guan's mother and daughter beside him with trembling fingers, and screamed: "My lord, my lord are all these sluts, they colluded with outsiders and framed the Qin family, we really Unjust!"

"Master, you can't wrong me like this. I'm just a vulgar village woman. I don't know a single word. I can understand everything. It's all done by that maid, that maid, she did it." Xia's voice trembled, her clothes It was tattered, covered with all kinds of bruises and scars underneath. That lunatic almost killed herself. After a few days, she was about to collapse, and she couldn't think of anything else.

"You bastard still doesn't admit it. The Major put the blame on your servant girl. It was you who leaked the news about the Qin family's water transportation. I'm so infatuated that I actually believe what you say!" Qin Er The master was very embarrassed, moved two steps on the ground, and stretched out his hand to beat Xia.

"What I said is true, my lord. I was arranged by Luo Yan from the Suyan Building to be next to Master Qin Er. She also gave me that maid. I am only responsible for passing on the news to her. I don't care about anything she does." I don't know." Xia cried and kowtowed a few times, tears and snot coming together, she regrets so much now, why did she agree to do this in the first place, and ended up in this situation.

"Mrs. Qin, where is the maid she mentioned?"

Madam Qin at the side was stunned for a moment, and she said a few words to the trusted person next to her, "My lord, please wait a moment, I will send someone back to bring him here."

Next, the imperial envoy asked the men of the Qin family one by one, but found no useful clues, and the missing person was one of the distant relatives of the Qin family. Therefore, the sacrifice and the siege of Chuncheng For one thing, the Qin family is not the main messenger, but they have become collaborators unconsciously.However, because there is a concubine in the Qin family's main family, they will not be sentenced to any punishment. At most, they will be fined some money and locked up for a few more days.

Soon, Mrs. Qin got the news that the maid had disappeared for a long time, and she was not bought by Mrs. Qin, but was bought in Yuntong Prefecture at the beginning. Now, the useful clues are broken again, and it can be confirmed That maid has a way of contacting the traitor.

After asking here, it was the turn of Aunt Guan, mother and daughter, because they were arrested mainly because they gave medicine to the newly captured children and drew pictures. even closer.

Compared with Xia's panic, Aunt Guan was much calmer, and she even straightened her clothes and hair, "Your Excellency, I have noticed that the woman brought her two daughters to Chuncheng to visit distant relatives. It is Mrs. Qin, we We have always been good and law-abiding, so how could we collude with that traitor. We are not willing to feed those children medicine and draw pictures. They arrested us and said that if we don’t do it, they will kill us. The same goes for our mother and daughter. Have no idea!"

After some words, Aunt Guan spoke with sincerity, showing that everything was not voluntary, but forced. This is much better than Xia's acknowledgment of revealing the news, and she took her mother and daughter out of this matter.

"My lord, she is a liar. I heard her daughter tell her with my own ears that Master Liu sent them here and gave them a large sum of money, and promised to give them another sum after the task is completed." Xia Shi Gritting her teeth, she hated Aunt Guan to death. In the prison, when she was tortured by that crazy woman, not only did she not help, she even made trouble, and she even admitted that she had done something. Drag into the water together.

After Lu Yuan found out all these things, he handed over a few pieces of paper and said a few words in a low voice, but he didn't say everything, such as the matter of him controlling Wang Er and Mr. Liu, although the above Whether the imperial envoys sent here are trustworthy or not, no one can say for sure, after all, Chuncheng is a sensitive place now.

Therefore, he would not trust the imperial envoy without getting the information from the cronies above.

"My lord, this woman is talking nonsense. These days, she keeps saying inexplicable things. She must be going crazy. Please lock her up." Mental patients and the like will be locked up in a special place, which is a terrifying place.

Xia Shi was so angry that she trembled all over, she rushed towards Aunt Guan, pinned her to the ground, and slapped her hard several times, "Bitch, I still want to quibble, in Bihu County, who doesn't know that my father-in-law and mother-in-law Mr. Liu and my sister-in-law's death are all related to Mr. Liu, so you are not a good person. You were sent by him, and you are not a good guy. I just let others know about the Qin family's news. You are even more powerful, directly involved If you go in, who is worse, don’t you know?”

Pu Huang glanced at the people around her, and found that several young people were very angry. She had a bad feeling in her heart, and then looked ahead, Guan Shi was tightly grasped by the Hong family uncle, and her mouth was also covered. It seemed that he was leaning on the old man of the Hong family, but he was actually afraid that Guan Shi would rush out suddenly and cause something extra.

"Master, let's leave here because someone is going to cause trouble." Puhuang pulled Hong Hao'an's hand and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

When Hong Haoan heard this, he didn't ask any more questions. He hurriedly protected Puhuang and went out to watch the excitement, but when it came to safety issues, he left decisively without any discussion.Sure enough, not long after they left, a group of angry people rushed in, beat and kicked Master Qin and Aunt Guan, and the scene was completely out of time and space.

After the scene was brought under control, it was discovered that a few suppressed were cut, Qiao Xiaofen was stabbed in the abdomen, and Aunt Guan and Qiao Xiaoxue were injured. Among them, they were the most seriously injured.

What happened specifically? Those who did not have time to escape were arrested and questioned, but the answers they got were not very good. The rest of the people were the parents of their children who were arrested. No one had a murder weapon, but after careful questioning Lu Yuan had a suspicion that a traitor had sneaked in, but he didn't know whether the target was himself or Aunt Guan and the others.

Regarding this, Hong Haoan was afraid for a while. If she hadn't left decisively, Puhuang would be injured inside. He couldn't imagine the consequences. After returning home with Puhuang, Mrs. Xu was already waiting at the door, walking back and forth anxiously.Seeing the two of them coming back, she touched and asked, and she was relieved after confirming that there was no problem.

"I don't agree with you going to the court. There are so many people watching, especially this is not a simple case. When I heard about the riots in the court just now, I almost died of fright. No, I have to cook some sweet soup for you. Shock." Xu frowned, and asked Puhuang several times what was wrong.

"My lady, I'm glad that we didn't get involved too much. This matter is not simple at all." Hong Hao'an was also afraid after thinking about it for a while, hugging Puhuang, feeling the body temperature, and felt a lot more stable in his heart.

"It's definitely not easy. I estimate that there will be several fewer children in the yard." The question is not over yet, but if you want to continue, the danger may be unavoidable.

Being detained by Mrs. Xu at home for two or three days, Puhuang was too idle. Feng Xiaodie came over several times and had a good chat with Mrs. Xu.In the past two days, Hong Haoan went out and came back very early. That night, Puhuang felt that Hong Haoan had been tossing and turning, and felt strange in his heart. He was about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly heard the window being knocked long and short Three times, repeat three times.

Hong Hao'an sat up from the bed at once and was about to get off the ground, but Pu Huang grabbed him and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

"Miss, you haven't slept yet?" Hong Hao'an was taken aback, "Are you woken up by me?"

"Who is it?" Pu Huang asked without answering.

Hong Haoan patted Puhuang's hand, signaling her not to worry, then he pushed open the window, climbed in alone, lit a candle, and found that it was Lu Yuan in night clothes, Puhuang felt strange, why did he make such a mess? so mysterious?

"Runzhi, what's going on?" Hong Hao'an didn't go to the county office for the past two days, but when he went to the store today, he got the news from Lu Yuan sent to him, so he couldn't sleep at night because of tossing and turning.

"I was under surveillance. It took me a lot of effort to come out this time." Lu Yuan said in a low voice, and reached out to take out a piece of paper to Hong Haoan, "After reading it and burning it, the imperial envoy won't believe it. Today I got the paper from above." In addition, this imperial envoy asked me to send all the children away, divide them into several groups, and leave from different directions, and I suspect that they want to kill these children.”
