The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

The head constable ordered the scene to be sealed off, and then arranged for another constable to return to the yamen to report to the magistrate.

The coroner, on the other hand, records the facts of the case truthfully.

Since the perpetrator had died on the spot and the events were clear, no further interrogation was necessary, and the head constable breathed a sigh of relief.

He spoke with the village head, comforted the villagers, and then let them handle their own affairs.

He then led the others away from the scene.

On their way back, they unexpectedly ran into the old steward of the Lu family. The yamen runners were a little surprised and asked them what they were doing here.

The old butler chuckled and said:

"I am going to the home of a family named Li Fusheng in Xinghua Village. My master and his daughter are quite close."

The constable looked startled upon hearing this, and then continued:

"Old steward, is it too late for you to go now?"

The old butler's smiling face immediately tightened upon hearing this, and he quickly asked:

"What's wrong, Officer Mo?"

"Has something happened to his family?"

"Hmm, has something happened, or something serious?"

"Li Fusheng's family was attacked today, and two people were injured. Fortunately, no one died, but I think the others are in bad shape too."

"What?"

"You said someone in Li Fusheng's family was injured. Was there a little girl named Li Xing'er among them?"

The old housekeeper never expected such a big thing to happen in just one night.

Officer Mo shook his head and said:

"I heard that the girl wasn't home, so she was lucky and escaped a disaster."

When the old housekeeper heard that the little girl was alright, the heavy weight in his heart was lifted again.

At the same time, I feel fortunate for the little girl; lucky people really don't encounter any disasters.

He knew that his master valued Miss Xing'er very much, so he quickly bid farewell to the constable and immediately ordered someone to prepare the best wound medicine, and then went to fetch a doctor to examine the injury as quickly as possible.

Two hours later.

The old steward brought the doctor to Xinghua Village, and at the same time instructed that the necessary wound medicine had been purchased, as well as some bowls, chopsticks, iron pots and such.

As soon as he reached the village entrance, he heard a deafening chorus of cries.

original.

After Li Mantun went mad, he fell off a cliff in the middle of the night and died.

Li Laojiu was so devastated that he was bedridden and unable to get up.

The villagers had no choice but to run back and forth.

One group of people were busy here, and another group went to the other side.

Li Fusheng took his two sons back to clean up the mess, and at the same time discovered that his wife was also injured. It turned out that she had cut both of her arms while trying to save Taohua.

Zhu Dadan gave all the wound medicine in his house to Taohua, leaving none for Yu Niang. Seeing her arm bleeding profusely, he could only bandage it with a rag for the time being.

The doctor waited for a long time, but no one came.

Li Fusheng was getting impatient waiting at Zhu Dadan's house.

Outside the tent.

Li Laosan said that someone had come from outside, saying that Xing'er's friend had bought medicine for wound healing and had also brought a doctor to help treat her.

The old steward looked at the dilapidated huts and the newly built mud-walled houses, and felt puzzled.

Such a poor place could produce such wonderful people.

Not easy.

As he was sighing, Old Lady Li hurriedly came out from outside the old house. She was startled to see the richly dressed man before her and, her lips trembling, asked:

"Who...who are you?"

"What...what are you doing here?"

This was the first time she had ever seen wealthy people dressed in fine silks and satins come to this poor, remote place. She didn't know what they were there for, but she was afraid that Wang Xiuxiu's family had come to interrogate her.

The old butler chuckled and stroked his beard, saying:

"Miss Xing'er is a distinguished guest of my master. I heard from the yamen runners that something happened to Miss Xing'er's family, so I specially brought a doctor and medicine to help."

"Are you... telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. I originally came to find Miss Xing'er, but she wasn't here, and then this happened at home. I thought I'd help if I could."

At least it can help Miss Xing'er solve some problems.

When Old Lady Li saw him, it was as if she had seen a savior. She never expected that Xing'er would actually meet such an important person in the city.

My daughter-in-law's arm is still injured, it's so good that a doctor has come now.

My daughter-in-law is saved!

The old butler nodded and said:

"Let's go, let's take the doctor to see the injured first."

The doctor, who was following behind, was also anxious. He urged:

"Hurry up, don't keep the injured person waiting."

"Alright, alright, thank you for your help. My daughter-in-law is seriously injured, and I'm so worried about her."

"I'll take you there right away."

While wiping away her tears, Old Lady Li led the doctor and the nobleman to Zhu Dadan's house.

Here.

Xing'er's eyelids kept twitching, and she felt increasingly uneasy. After paying the room fee early in the morning, she took Gou'er and the others to find the oxcart to go back.

Seeing that she had been frowning, the dog asked, puzzled:

"Sister Xing'er, what's wrong? You didn't sleep all night."

Xing'er shook her head:

"I don't know either, I just feel uncomfortable. Let's go back and talk about it."

"good!"

Tiger Head comforted him:

"Xing'er, don't worry. Uncle Mugen and his men have sold wild boar meat before, so it'll definitely be fine."

Xing'er wasn't in the mood to talk, and simply hummed in response.

On the way back.

She unexpectedly encountered Mrs. Sun and a group of women, young and old, dressed in blue cloth clothes and carrying baskets, walking on the road.

Some carried a basket of eggs, some carried a basket of vegetables, and a few old women carried a basket of tofu; they were all clearly on their way home after finishing their market visit.

One of the old women, with her big mouth, kept talking:

"Did you know?"

"Something terrible has happened in Xinghua Village! The government officials came last night, it was terrifying!"

Sun pretended to know nothing and asked:

"Auntie, what's wrong? What happened?"

The old woman patted her chest and whispered:

"The Wang family in Xinghua Village committed murder. I heard they killed a family called Li Fusheng's, and they killed everyone."

"The entire Li family has been wiped out."

"What? That's terrifying! What deep-seated grudge do these two families have?"

"It seems that it was because a girl named Li Xing'er from Li Fusheng's family went to the forbidden mountain to hunt wild boar, and Wang's son also secretly went with her, but ended up being eaten by a tiger."

"So, is that why Wang killed Li Fusheng's child?"

"That's right, that's right, the murderer, Wang, also died last night."

For some reason, Madam Sun suddenly glanced back, only to find herself facing an unexpected obstacle: Li Xing'er sitting on the oxcart with a grim expression. She simply shouted, "..."

"Auntie, let me hear how tragically Li Fu died."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I heard their heads were chopped off, and all that's left on their necks is skin and bones. Anyone who saw that would be terrified."

"Hehe, this isn't scary at all."

"Oh dear, you didn't see it with your own eyes. If you had, you'd be scared to death, Aunt Sun. I heard that Li Fusheng's family used to be related to you by marriage, right?"

"Kiss my foot! The engagement was called off a long time ago. Thank goodness it was called off, otherwise my family would still be dragged down by her family!"

"His daughter was no good. Maybe God couldn't stand it anymore, and this is her retribution. It's good that she died!"

Sun raised her voice and deliberately started scolding Li Xing'er.
