Chapter 112 The real daughter, she quit (58)

Looking coldly at the tearful person at her feet, Haiyao didn't have too many turmoil on her face.

Mostly because she was knocked out and thrown into the grass before, Wu Jinzhen's dress could hardly be seen from its original appearance now, and there were a few yellowed weeds inserted in the messy bun. There were two white marks on the dusty cheeks.

There was no response, and the woman's expression became more and more pitiful: "Sister in the lobby, you can't be so cruel! You must know that my father has always treated your father well!"

"I think that when my second uncle went south to become an official, my father gave him money, otherwise, how could you be where you are today?!"

This matter is purely clichéd, even though Haiyao hadn't stayed in the Wu residence for long, she had heard it no less than ten times.

At that time, Wu Xiuyuan and the Zhao family were indeed in a difficult situation. The husband and wife did not have much money, and the journey to the south was long and difficult, so they went back to their hometown in Raocheng, hoping to pay some year-end bonuses from the clan in advance, so that they could use it as a road trip. entanglement.

It never occurred to him that there are many villains in the Wu clan, who see Wu Xiuyuan losing power for a while, and will try to excuse him in every possible way.

At that time, the old lady planned to stay in her hometown in Raocheng and not go south with them, so she did not come forward to fight for the husband and wife. In the end, the boss Wu Xiu took out dozens of taels of silver like a charity, and sent them away. gone.

It was precisely because of this incident that Wu Xiuyuan was completely disappointed with the Wu clan. When he returned to Beijing in the future, he quickly separated from the two people in Raocheng. He would rather get less of the Wu family's property than to set up his own family .

However, under the oppression of filial piety, he can't ignore the old lady, and he has no reason to prevent people from Raocheng from visiting the old lady in the name of visiting the old lady.

However, both Wu Xiucai and the Song family have thick skins. Not only do they often come to eat and drink for free, but they also put on a benefactor attitude, and they talk about the dozens of taels of silver back then when they have nothing to do, which makes Zhao's heart worse Get bored.

So after hearing Wu Jinzhen's words, Haiyao just wanted to laugh, took a half step back, turned around and was about to leave here.

The kneeling woman panicked when she saw this, she hastily softened her tone, and screamed again: "Sister in the lobby, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! As long as you let me go this time, in the future I will definitely Even if you are an ox or a horse, you have to repay your great kindness today!"

Haiyao stopped in her tracks, turned her face slowly, and said in an inexplicable tone, "Oh? Then Aunt Zhen told me, where did you go wrong?"

When Wu Jinzhen heard the question, she subconsciously showed a guilty expression, but she was afraid that she would leave if she didn't agree with her words, so she could only swallow her saliva and answer lightly: "I... I shouldn't have listened to the words of the third son. Stop you and your aunt on the way."

Speaking of this, the woman began to sob softly again: "But sister, you are not married, so you won't understand that women like me can't help themselves. If you say marrying and obeying your husband, I will hold on to you for the rest of your life." In the hands of the Sima Mansion, how dare you disobey your husband?"

"Let me tell you the truth, my life in Sima's Mansion was really not good." While speaking, Wu Jinzhen twisted her body, as if she wanted to pull her hand out of the knotted rope.

It's a pity that he couldn't break free, so he raised his head: "If you don't believe me, you can take off my clothes and look at the injuries on my body!"

Struggling so much, in fact, Haiyao had already spotted traces of various colors criss-crossing on the skin through the loose collar.Those wounds were of different depths, and it should be that old wounds had not healed before new wounds were added, which was indeed a bit scary.

"Hey." Wu Jinzhen continued to squeeze out a few tears, and she didn't know whether she wanted to arouse the meager affection in the heart of the person opposite, or tried to arouse the sympathy of the other people present.

"If I'm disobedient, the third son will beat me to death! And...and I just planned to take you mother and daughter back to the tent, because I know that only the tent in Sima Mansion is the safest !"

After all the arguments, Wu Jinzhen managed to portray herself as a kind-hearted image who endured humiliation. It seemed that if Haiyao refused to save her, it would be sinister and inhumane.

Suddenly, Haiyao sighed deeply.

The woman subconsciously stopped crying, and opened her eyelids to look curiously.

"Aunt Zhen, you know exactly why you ended up like this today. It's not that I didn't give you a chance, but you are the one who covets the prosperity and wealth of the Sima Mansion, and you are the one who helped others to defraud the University Scholars' Mansion. Now Are you not afraid of being punished by God if you say such things again?"

When Haiyao said this, she paused for a moment, then lowered her eyes again, with a slight smile on her beautiful face: "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing."

She looked him up and down with eyes full of sarcasm, her red lips parted slightly, but what she said was utterly cruel: "Forgot, God has eyes, Aunt Zhen has already been condemned by God."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Jinzhen's pupils shrank slightly, and her whole body fell to the ground as if she lost her strength.

Sure enough, in the next second, Haiyao's voice rang again: "Please trouble General Lu and the two little brothers, I don't recognize this crazy woman, the appearance of cousin Wu Shizhen at home is placed in the whole capital." It's better to be first-class in the circle of noble girls, this person doesn't have the slightest resemblance to my cousin."

"Besides, my cousin is the most favored concubine of the third son of the dignified Sima mansion. Sima county magistrate has always been loyal to the emperor, so how can the aunt of the third son of his mansion be a spy? She won't appear in the hunting ground at the same time as the assassin. .”

With only a few simple words, she managed to impress Lu Chengen who was beside her.

Don't underestimate these few words, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to directly hammer Sima Mansion into the dust, and it also provides him with a good idea for tracking down the mastermind behind these barbarian assassins.

On the night of the assassination, his soldiers captured a secret agent, but the secret agent claimed that he was the concubine of the third son of Sima.

In this way, the Sima Mansion was naturally dragged into the water, so how could the Luo family who were hiding behind them be immune to it?And this Wu Jinzhen must know something, he only needs to interrogate carefully, and pick off all the gourds hanging on the vine one by one along the vine.

Should the joke be that Luo Hongxin is clever but was mistaken by cleverness?This kind of person who thinks he is a superior person on weekdays, Xu Shi has never put people like Wu Jinzhen in his eyes. It is obvious that he does not understand a simple truth.

Water can carry a boat or capsize it.

Often such inconspicuous little characters are the existence that cannot be ignored, because no one can tell when and where they have heard and seen.

"Did you hear Miss Wu's words? This woman has nothing to do with Sima's Mansion, and she is not a lady in the Master Wu's mansion. Why don't you detain her first and interrogate her later?" Lu Cheng En raised his chin and ordered in a deep voice.

The two guards took the order happily, stepped forward and dragged the man up without any explanation, and they were even less polite in their movements.

After being hurt, Wu Jinzhen finally regained her senses at this moment. She knew that her fate was sealed, and her anger broke through her reason in an instant, and she continued to shout: "Wu Haiyao! You have such a vicious heart! I know You have always hated me for robbing that Zhou Lang, but you don't even look in the mirror to see yourself!"

"Where am I worse than you? I just don't accept it! I just don't accept it! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you! Wu Haiyao, you're not good..."

The shrill and ear-piercing sound of cursing resounded throughout the night sky, but then stopped abruptly. It turned out that another guard bent down very quickly to pick up the cloth that Lu Chengen had just casually discarded on the ground. Seven 21 gagged the woman's mouth again.

Immediately afterwards, the two turned around, and they pushed Wu Jinzhen away very simply.

Lu Chengen hesitated for two seconds, but in the end he couldn't say anything, he just cupped his hands at Haiyao: "I have left four guards here, if anything happens later, they will take care of themselves Protect you and Mrs. Wu well."

"Thank you, General Lu, for your concern. I'm afraid the road ahead will not be so easy. I hope the general will take care of you." Hai Yaofu returned the salute. Both of them know that the hard nuts always come at the end. .

Lu Chengen responded, took one last deep look at her, then turned around and left with big strides.

After another two hours, the fidgeting Zhao finally brought back Wu Xiuyuan and the maid who had gone to report the news. Although Wu Xiuyuan was in a mess, fortunately his body was only scratched.

According to his own recollection, when the servant girl told him Haiyao's words in detail, she became alarmed. When she got up and was about to leave, she was entangled by an official from the prince's line. He drank too much, and he was not allowed to leave without saying anything.

While the two were arguing, a few black-clothed men suddenly descended from the sky, and all of those black-clothed men were holding large machetes, as fierce as wolves in a herd of sheep, and would chop at anyone they saw.

It was not that there were no generals in the hunting ground at that time, but unfortunately most of them had drunk a lot of wine, and their skills were not as agile and mighty as usual. It was great to be able to protect themselves in an emergency, and there was no spare energy to save other colleagues.

Because he had been prepared for a long time, at the moment when the incident happened, Wu Xiuyuan turned around and ran away with his maid without saying a word, but there was always an assassin chasing after him closely.

In order to survive, Wu Xiuyuan had no choice but to give up his inherent pride as a third-rank official of the dynasty, ran to the edge of a hill, and jumped down while rolling and crawling.

Fortunately, the weeds and bushes grew wildly below, which made it easier to hide his whereabouts, and Lu Chengen's guards arrived in time, the assassin finally gave up looking for him and chose to come back to help his companion, and he was lucky to save his life.

"Damn it, could it be that the assassin has a grudge against you? But master, you have been an official all your life, and you have never offended anyone..." Mrs. Zhao muttered angrily while helping Wu Xiuyuan to deal with the scratch.

Wu Xiuyuan here is also quite strange, his reaction like this is also the normal state of most people at this time, after all, there are only a few who can get a glimpse of the truth.

So Haiyao thought about it and said, "Speaking of which, father has offended many people unintentionally, has father forgotten?"

She dared to bet that there must be no supporters of the prince who died or were injured in the hunting grounds.

Or to say that Luo Hongxin's plan this time is really worthy of scrutiny, and that he can easily eliminate dissidents, wouldn't it be wonderful?

After being reminded by her, Wu Xiuyuan frowned first, and then his face changed drastically, apparently speculating on the possibility of quite a big rebellion.

The man got up quickly, walked quickly to the door, opened the curtain and looked left and right outside the tent.After confirming that there was no suspicious person around, he turned around and said with a serious face: "Don't mention this again!"

Haiyao nodded obediently, then simply closed her mouth, and took advantage of the opportunity to focus her gaze on the brazier placed in the center of the tent.

When the wind is turbulent, such a long night is destined to be sleepless.
