After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

"How did Lu Xiyue know so many things about Wumingmen?"

She is different from those dignified boudoir daughters, but what is Wumingmen, people kill people with money, and human life is nothing but goods in their eyes.

Xiao Yunheng looked calm, he also wanted to know the answer to this question.

but.

"You don't have to worry about this, she won't spread the word."

Xie Zhizhou looked over in astonishment, with a complicated expression on his face: "Brother, it's not about whether she will spread it to the outside world, how could she know such a secret thing as the dignified daughter of the Duke's Mansion, it's hard to guarantee that it's not the Duke's Mansion..."

"Zhizhou." Xiao Yunheng interrupted him with a deep voice, "Don't worry too much about her, it's been so long, you should have some measure, don't always think about worrying about a little girl."

After finishing speaking, he withdrew his gaze and followed Lu Xiyue and Zhao Pinqian who were in front.

Xie Zhizhou frowned, stared at the young man's broad back, opened his mouth, and wanted to argue a few words.

How could it be that he has no measure and cares about every detail?

Little girl, is Lu Xiyue a little girl? They've all been married before. Besides, where in the world is there a little girl like her who can't walk around with a man who is taller and more upright?

He felt that his elder brother must be bewitched by Lu Xiyue's beauty, but he still didn't admit it.

After being silent for a while, Xie Zhizhou pursed his lips. He wanted to see what kind of ability Lu Xiyue had to make his elder brother defend her again and again!

About two hours later, a few people had eaten their lunch, and the guard at the door of the woodshed came to report. The man seemed to be unable to stand it anymore, and made some noises from time to time.

Several people went to check the situation together.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a strong smell of blood came over the face. There was an obvious bloodstain on the neck of the man tied to the pillar, which was still bleeding out. His eyes were wide open, his chest was flat, and there was no ups and downs.

There was a horrible pool of blood on the ground.

"What's the matter?"

Several people were shocked, and the servant beside him was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he leaned against the wall with a pale face.

"Small one, I don't know what's going on with the little one, there was still a sound just now."

Lu Xiyue felt bad, so she immediately went to another room.

Pushing open the door, the rope that originally tied people in the room was cut by a sharp weapon.Where else is there anyone.

Zhao Pinqian immediately asked his servants to look for someone in the yard.

Xie Zhizhou put the man down, checked the wound on his neck, frowned and said, "Kill him with one blow."

If nothing else happened, it should be the man imprisoned in the next room who thought of a way to escape and silenced him.

Zhao Pinqian looked at the man's body, thought for a moment and said: "It's really strange, since he thought of a way to leave, why didn't he take this man with him, but killed him instead."

Lu Xiyue stood at the door, looking at the pool of blood, her heart was cold, "He told all about Wumingmen, if we take him back together, we will die."

One is a close deputy envoy, and the other is a green card killer.

It is self-evident who the head of Wumingmen will trust.

"He might not go back now." Xiao Yunheng said blankly: "To be precise, he hasn't left Qiong County yet."

Several people looked at him suspiciously.

Facing the girl's gaze, Xiao Yunheng explained the reason for his guess word by word.

"He killed the deputy envoy simply because he didn't want people to know the secret he confessed to Wumingmen, but we are still here, standing here alive, and the mission he received was to take my life. We are both the mission target and Knowing that he is a leaker, and he still wants to return to Wumingmen, he must kill us."

Killing and silence is exactly what he, a killer, is best at.

"It's easy to handle. I'll report to the county magistrate. He's wanted in the entire county." As long as he hasn't left, he can be found by searching door to door.

"It's better not to startle the snake." Xie Zhizhou didn't quite agree with his proposal.

Lu Xiyue did not speak, she waited for Xiao Yunheng to make a decision.

Standing in front of the cold corpse, the pool of blood reflected his tall and straight figure.

After a long time, Xiao Yunheng said: "Let's report to the officials first, and send this to the county magistrate."

He kicked the corpse of the deputy envoy.

Zhao Pinqian immediately called the servant, wrapped him in a straw mat and sent him to the county government.

When the servants saw the bloodless corpse, they trembled in fright. It took a lot of effort to carry him out and wrap him in a straw mat.

"I went with them, and only said that he wanted to steal money from my house, and then he shared the spoils with another person unevenly, and that's why he lost his life." Zhao Pinqian quickly thought of an excuse.

Lu Xiyue nodded, this statement is very good, it will not reveal anything.

After Zhao Pinqian left, the three returned to the main hall.

"We'll just stay here. If there's no accident, he will do it when he sees the arrest warrant."

The longer things are pressed, the more difficult it will be.

In the county yamen, the county magistrate, who had received a report from the servants, hurried over and saw the pale, blood-covered corpse in the hall, under a straw mat, his complexion changed suddenly.

"Boss Zhao, what's going on?" He looked at the calm young man in surprise.

When Zhao Pinqian first arrived in Qiongxian County, he knew that it was easy to do things with money, so he gave 2000 taels of silver to the county magistrate, and then he got his household registration in just a few days and settled in Qiongxian County.

Therefore, he can easily go in and out of the county government office and see the county magistrate.

Zhao Pinqian recounted the speech he had prepared earlier, pointed at the corpse and said with righteous indignation: "These two people are really arrogant, and they started to divide the spoils in my mansion. The search is over."

The county magistrate's expression was not very good after hearing this.

Recently, there have been frequent thieves for four weeks. He also received news from the neighboring county a few days ago. He never thought that he would come to his jurisdiction today.

Thinking about Zhao Pinqian's net worth, he couldn't help shaking his beard, and asked deeply: "Boss Zhao lost something."

"That's too much." He waved his green bamboo fan, with anger in his eyes: "Your magistrate also knows that, as a pawn shop, I collect good things, and seven or eight valuable and rare calligraphy and paintings are lost in the warehouse. Not to mention, there is a fist-sized Dongzhu missing."

He gestured with his hands to size.

The county magistrate listened, his eyes widened.

Dongzhu with a big fist is a rare and priceless thing. I knew that Zhao Pinqian's family was rich, but I didn't expect it to be so rich.

Thinking of the silver he sent at the beginning, it was only 2000 taels, at most it could buy Dongzhu the size of a thumbnail.

He stroked his beard, restrained his emotions, and said, "That's really a lot of things. Boss Zhao, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate this thief."

"Thank you, magistrate." Zhao Pinqian bowed his hands respectfully at him, got up and said with a smile, "But my lord, this man is not an ordinary thief, he can kill his companions for stealing dirty money, I'm afraid I can't find anyone easily."

The county magistrate heard a bit of ambiguity, and asked tentatively: "Then according to Boss Zhao's intention, what should I do?"
