The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad
Chapter 120 Portrait
When Tang Zhongbai led his men to Xigang Village, Xu Da and Yin Yusheng asked Zhao Daniu over and over again in the side room.
Let him recall over and over again the appearance and features of the masked man in black.
Yin Yusheng modified the portrait in his hand over and over again.
The portrait was finally completed amid Zhao Daniu's exclamations.
"Are you sure?"
The person on the drawing paper in Xu Da's hand was wearing a black nightgown, a black cloth wrapped around his head, and a black scarf covering his face. He was of medium build, and except for a pair of piercing eyes, his other features were not clearly visible.
Wei Dong, who was standing next to him, took a glance and snatched it away. He stared at the portrait carefully and felt that he had seen these eyes before.
Xu Da asked him, "What's wrong? Do you know him?"
Wei Dong stretched out his hand to stop him, "Don't talk."
He muttered to himself, "With his southern accent and those mean eyes, I know who he is!"
Wei Dong slammed the portrait onto the table with a look of shock and disbelief.
"Who?" Xu Da and Yin Yusheng asked in unison.
Wei Dong gritted his teeth and said word by word: "The Wei family's chief steward, Lin Xiao."
It’s the Wei family again.
"Are you sure? Didn't you say that the stewards of the Wei family are all elders who have followed the Wei family for generations? How could he...?"
Xu Da often went to the Wei family, but as far as he could remember, he had never seen this person.
"He was brought here from the south by the eldest brother eight years ago. I remember what he told the old man that this man was a business genius and with his help, the Wei family would soar to success. At that time, the Wei family had just taken over the ferry not long ago, and the Wei family's shipping was only getting better day by day after Lin Xiao moved to the Wei family." Wei Dong frowned.
He sneered and said, "But this person is very mysterious. He doesn't live in the Wei family, and he is rarely seen in the Wei family."
Now that I think about it, the fact that he acted so mysteriously, combined with the fact that he killed all fifteen members of the Lin family.
He also has the surname Lin. Could it be that he has a grudge against the Lin family in Suanzao County? He took advantage of the conflict between the Lin and Zhang families to kill someone first and then frame them.
What a vicious plot.
"There are two possibilities. First, he is a member of the Lin family, and for some unknown reason, he hates the Lin family. Second, having the same surname is just a coincidence. For something we don't know about, the Lin family wanted more benefits, and he disagreed. A conflict arose between the two parties, and he silenced them." Xu Da's analysis was very logical.
Yin Yusheng interrupted him and said, "This has nothing to do with us. The most urgent thing is to find this person. The right thing to do is to rescue Mu Xia."
The room fell silent again. Where could one find such an elusive person?
"Leave it to me, I'll find a way. Tang San is in the prison, and Miss Jiang can't stand being wronged." After Wei Dong finished speaking, he left the tavern and went to find someone to inquire about Lin Xiao's whereabouts.
"I'm worried that he will leave Suanzao County after doing everything. That will be troublesome. Wuchao is so vast that it will be difficult to find him." Yin Yusheng sighed, with deep worry on his face.
"As long as he is still alive, we will be able to find him." Xu Da paced back and forth in the room with a burning gaze. His mind was filled with thousands of thoughts. He sorted them out one by one, unraveling them, looking for the clues he needed.
Yin Yusheng stood up and said goodbye, "Master Xu, I have to go back to see if Tang Jue Cao is going smoothly. Goodbye."
In a small courtyard outside the western suburbs of the city, Wei Dong hurried into the main room. He sat in front of the stove, waiting for an important person.
In the north of the city, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy dressed as a servant was walking casually towards the west of the city.
Passing by a street stall, he bought some fruits and vegetables, and then went to the butcher's shop to buy two pounds of pork.
"Zhu Zi, hurry home to cook for your mother again!"
"Yes, Uncle Zhang." The servant said with a yawn.
"You are such a hard-working kid, running back and forth every day. Your mother is so lucky to have such a filial son like you!"
Zhuzi smiled and thanked him, then left the meat stall and walked towards the west of the city.
After leaving the city gate, he loosened his pace and ran forward.
In the small courtyard in the west of the city, Zhulu knocked on the door of the main hall.
"Master, what do you want from me?" Zhuzi rubbed his hands and turned around to close the door.
Wei Dong sat by the fire in the house, looking up at the pillar. "You follow the boss every day, have you ever seen where Lin Xiao lives? Is Lin Xiao still in the county?"
Zhuzi looked up at him and quickly avoided his gaze. "Go back to the master. He lives in the north of the city, in a separate courtyard owned by the Mei family."
Wei Dong suddenly raised his hand, frowned and said to himself: "The Mei family, could it be...? Impossible, maybe it was arranged by the lady?"
"Is he still there?"
"Yes, I just came back from there."
"Okay." Wei Dong saw the meat and vegetables in his hand and said gently, "Go back and cook for your mother?"
Zhuzi lowered his head and replied, "Yes, Patriarch."
Wei Dong stood up and put the snack box on the table into his hands, and said softly: "Kid, why are you so nervous every time you see me? I don't eat people. Take the snacks home and give them to your sister."
Zhuzi still bowed his head, with a respectful look on his face, "Thank you, Patriarch. I am not nervous, nor am I afraid, I am respectful. My mother said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring. The Patriarch has treated Zhuzi with great kindness, and Zhuzi cannot blaspheme you."
Wei Dong was helpless and told him, "For your safety, I will not look for you again. Remember, safety is the most important thing. If an accident happens, save your life first. Even if you betray me, it's ok."
Zhuzi raised his head and said firmly, "Zhuzi will never betray the master even if he dies. The master's words are an insult to Zhuzi."
"You should go home soon and follow the boss with peace of mind from now on."
Not long after Zhuzi left, Weidong appeared in the tavern again.
"The person has been found. He is in the Plum Blossom Courtyard, the branch of the Mei family in the north of the city. I have sent people to guard it. We will go in and arrest him when it gets dark."
Xu Da ordered, "Fuzi, go to the wine shop and ask the master to reunite with Wei Lan. Tell them to cheer up, because there will be a fierce battle tonight."
He also told Wei Dong: "It is inconvenient for you to participate in this matter. Go back first and be careful of your elder brother."
At Qingfeng Villa in Xigang Village, Li Jiyi was driving an ox cart with two camphorwood boxes on it, which were Lu Chaoyun's dowry when she got married. On the boxes were four or five bundles of different sizes.
This is all the belongings that Jiang Yuzhou can take away from the Jiang family.
Jiang Yuzhou walked at the end of the crowd with a lost look on his face. Lu Chaoyun's former spirit and energy had long since disappeared.
Li Jiyi couldn't bear it and wanted to tell her the truth, "Aunt, don't worry, Mu Xia is fine..."
He wanted to say that all this was just a show, but Yin Yusheng interrupted him halfway through.
Lu Chaoyun's personality was unpredictable. Now things were not settled yet. If something went wrong with her, all the work would be in vain.
He shook his head at Li Jiyi and continued, "Aunt, Mu Xia is sensible and will not harm anyone. With Tang Juecao here, we will definitely be able to find out the real murderer and give her justice."
Lu Chaoyun seemed tired and sat on the shaft of the cart without saying a word.
After putting away the belongings, Li Jiyi took Jiang Yuzhou and his wife to the county. Lu Chaoyun was so anxious that he urged Jiang Yuzhou to hurry to the county.
The oxcart was heading towards the ferry. Lu Chaoyun stopped the car, jumped off, and said to Jiang Yuzhou, "I won't go to the restaurant. I'll go home and pack up and go to the county first. You should sell the house quickly."
She was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Jiang Yuzhou.
"Get in the car and go back to the restaurant. I'll tell you when we get there."
"What do you mean? You don't want to take care of your daughter anymore! Mr. Jiang, I'm telling you, even if I divorce you, I will still save my daughter." Lu Chaoyun got angry when she saw his nonchalant look, and pointed at her nose and scolded her.
Jiang Yuzhou had no choice but to ask Li Jiyi for help.
"Or, tell the truth!"
