The return of the son-in-law

In the middle of the night, Huo Yu carried a knife and sneaked out with Wu Xin to a certain wall in the backyard of the government office.

Hao Yun was already waiting there. When he saw Huo Yu and Wu Xin coming, he squeezed his throat and let out a meow, and quickly opened the small door to let Huo Yu and Wu Xin in.The next moment, the curfew patrol team turned around the corner and walked past the wall with a big knife and a long gun.

All three of them dared not take a breath until the sound of footsteps disappeared, before Hao Yun said, "According to your instructions, Second Young Master Huo, I have already made arrangements."

Huo Yu nodded and reconfirmed: "There is still a stick of incense before the time for the patrolling soldiers to change the guard. We will take away Shi Guogan's wife and concubine during this stick of incense time. After leaving, Hao Yun, you continue Stay here so as not to arouse suspicion, but also to finish it off for us. Master Wu Xin and I will split into two groups, and each will take one person back, so as to save the total of four people from being too big of a goal."

Wu Xin responded, and tightened the knife in his hand. He has never been a person who can speak well, and now he is so nervous that he is even more speechless.

Hao Yun boarded the thief boat supported by Huo Yu, and now he couldn't get off at all, he sighed inwardly, and led Huo Yu and Wu Xin to the entrance he had arranged in advance.

The people Huang Mingli sent to guard the courtyard were all people he believed in, but this also exposed a shortcoming, that is, he was not familiar with the structure of the government office.After controlling the large and small entrances and exits, they did not find that there were two or three entrances in the yard that were unknown to most people.

Hao Yun moved the stone away and said in a low voice, "Second Master Huo, don't worry, this is not a dog's hole. Shi Guogan ordered someone to dig it before, just to prevent such a day. I also had a meeting with someone once. Drinking, the other party told me when he was drunk."

Huo Yu looked at the hole, probably for concealment, it was only about the height of his knees, and he had to crawl in with his whole body on the ground.

But for Guo Zhan'an, he would even give up his life, and would he care about climbing a hole?

Without further ado, Huo Yu untied the back of the saber behind his back, rubbed his palms together a few times, and landed on his hands and feet, ready to get in through the hole.

Hao Yun had no choice but to follow closely behind, while Wu Xin sealed the entrance of the cave again with stones, and guarded the entrance of the cave by himself, lest someone suddenly come and ruin their plan.

Although Hao Yun has never been to this courtyard, the layout of the courtyards in the Xuzhou government office is actually very similar. He has seen the blueprints and looked at the scene in front of him with the faint moonlight, so he knows that the two of them should be at the right time. It's near the kitchen in this yard.

"Second Young Master Huo, follow me." Hao Yun whispered, "Those people from the capital said they were just guarding the door to avoid suspicion, and they were not in this courtyard. Now Shi Guogan's family members in the courtyard live in the original It is estimated that they will not dare to come out. The servants in the yard have been gathered in one place, as long as we are careful, we will not bump into others."

Huo Yu nodded, indicating that he understood: "Thank you Mr. Hao for leading the way."

The two of them groped their way to a wing room. Hao Yun put his index finger into his mouth and twirled it around, got some saliva on it, and made a cut in the paper pasting the window.He took a closer look, and saw a plain-clothed woman kneeling in front of the Buddha statue under the dim light inside, clasped her hands together, and muttered something.

Hao Yun had met Shi Guogan's wife before, but only had a vague impression.He wanted to watch again, but he heard the woman keep chanting: "Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, Zhu, a believer, would like to shorten her life for ten years, and only ask Bodhisattva to protect the child in my womb. This is my husband's only blood. May the Bodhisattva be merciful and merciful, and protect believers and children from this catastrophe."

Chu!Isn't Shi Guogan's wife the Zhu family?

Hao Yun took a closer look, and felt that this woman was very similar to the impression he had in mind.He stepped back and said to Huo Yu in a low voice: "Second Young Master Huo, we are lucky, there is Shi Guogan's wife inside."

Huo Yu nodded, he stretched out his hand to signal Hao Yun to wait outside, and he took out a black square scarf from his arms and put it on, covering half of his face, before rushing in with a knife!

Huo Yu had practiced diligently during this period, and his kung fu had improved a lot. Before Zhu Shi could react, the point of his knife had already touched Zhu Shi's back, and he deliberately said in a gloomy voice, "Are you Shi Guogan's wife?"

Zhu Shi panicked, the Buddhist beads in her hand fell to the ground, and she opened her mouth to scream.

However, Huo Yu had been prepared for a long time. Holding a knife in one hand, he covered Zhu's mouth with the other, and said fiercely: "If I want your life, I will kill you long ago! Don't worry, I'm here to save you. You You should also know that after tonight, if you enter the prison, you will die!"

With tears in Zhu's eyes, he hesitated and couldn't speak. He could only shake his head and nod for a while.

Huo Yu became more and more annoyed by her teasing her, so he simply said, "We don't have much time, so to make a long story short, if you promise to be obedient and not make any strange noises, I'll let you go, how about it?"

Mrs. Zhu nodded repeatedly, but Huo Yu didn't believe her so easily, and said, "Although I came to save you, I won't give up my life. If you want to yell and attract others, I'll kill you first." If I kill you, I will have time to escape again, do you hear me!"

Mrs. Zhu nodded first, then shook her head in a panic, apparently to ensure that she would not yell.

Huo Yu slightly loosened one of his fingers, but Zhu just took the opportunity to take a deep breath and didn't dare to make any noise.Huo Yu was still worried, and he didn't put down the knife, but just removed the hand covering Zhu Shi.

Mrs. Zhu regained her breath, turned her head to look at Huo Yu nervously, and asked timidly, "This hero, why did you save me? Did you know my master?"

Huo Yu sneered and said, "Do you know what happened to your master?"

Zhu wailed and said, "My master was killed by that little bastard Guo Zhan'an!"

Huo Yu was so angry that he almost wanted to slap Mrs. Zhu, and asked angrily, "Who told you that!"

"That's, that's Huang Mingli!" Zhu said while crying, "And those jailers who killed thousands of knives! They have been deprived of their benefits over the years? Seeing that my master has lost power, Then he was bought by Guo Zhan'an, and secretly poisoned my master. Master, you died unjustly! Master!"

Huo Yu sensed that there was something hidden in it, and hurriedly asked: "Are those jailers Shi Guogan?"

Zhu Shi was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he had slipped his tongue, so he didn't dare to speak again.

Huo Yu went on to say: "Shi Guogan is dead, but the real culprit is at large. Do you want your master to die in peace?"

Zhu asked with trembling lips: "Hero, you, you mean, it wasn't Guo Zhan'an who killed my master? Was it someone else?"

Huo Yu said coldly: "Since those jailers belong to Shi Guogan, why did they dare to obey... listen to Mr. Guo's words and poison Shi Guogan in prison?"

Zhu said: "Then Guo Zhan'an is the general judge in Xuzhou. Besides my master, he is the most powerful person in Xuzhou. These jailers saw my master in prison, so they wanted to please Guo Zhan'an quickly, so they simply killed my master!"

"Stupid woman!" Huo Yu scolded, "Since Mr. Guo is the judge of Xuzhou, he is under one person and above ten thousand in Xuzhou, so why bother to make trouble for himself! Wouldn't it be more difficult to interrogate Shi Guogan according to the regulations? Is it justifiable!"

Mrs. Zhu was reprimanded by Huo Yu, stayed for a while, and then realized: "Okay! So you are from Guo Zhan'an! Let me tell you! No wonder you are trying to excuse Guo Zhan'an, you are clearly with Guo Zhan'an of!"

Huo Yu simply slapped Mrs. Zhu, and said, "I am indeed Mr. Guo's man, but don't forget that Shi Guogan is dead now, and you are going to die too! The only way out for you now is to cooperate with me." .”

"Hahahaha," Zhu looked up to the sky and laughed, "It's ridiculous, why should I help you, my master is dead, I just want Guo Zhan'an to be buried with my master!"

Huo Yu frowned and said, "Master Guo is not the real culprit. Are you determined to kill him and let the real culprit who killed your husband go unpunished instead?"

These words reached Zhu's heart, she stopped laughing and asked: "The real culprit is really not Guo Zhan'an?"

Huo Yu nodded and said: "I know you don't believe me, but don't worry, I will take you to those high officials from the capital, tell them everything you know, and they will naturally help you find the real culprit .”

Mrs. Zhu was completely confused: "Then Huang Mingli has already said that Guo Zhan'an is the real culprit who killed my master. Isn't he also a high-ranking official from the capital? Why doesn't what he said count? Could it be because the real culprit he said was Guo Zhanan, you lied to me on purpose, right?"

Huo Yu asked back: "If the real culprit is Mr. Guo, do I need to do anything extra?"

Seeing Mrs. Zhu standing still, he continued, "I also hope Madam Shi can let go of her prejudices and tell the truth what she knows, so as to help those officials investigate the case, so as not to be plotted by others again and let the real culprit go."

Mrs. Zhu thought for a moment, finally nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, my lord is already dead, no matter what crimes are charged against him, he cannot be allowed to die again. I will trust you once and tell you everything truthfully!"

Huo Yu was overjoyed, and asked again: "Did Shi Guogan explain everything to you? Does anyone else in this courtyard know Shi Guogan's secrets?"

Mrs. Zhu seemed to have thought of something, curled her lips and said, "I am his wife, the only woman he can trust. Of course I know a lot. But that Xiangyu also knows a thing or two."

Huo Yu asked her again: "Where is this person?"

Zhu's eyes were full of hatred and pride that couldn't be concealed: "She? She was just locked up with a group of lowly women. I don't know what's going on now, hahahaha."

Huo Yu thought for a while, then said, "Change into lighter clothes, we're leaving now."

Zhu Shi was greatly surprised: "Aren't you going to save her?"

Huo Yu said: "Since you are the only woman Shi Guogan believes in, I think you know enough. We have to leave immediately without further delay."

Hao transported the three of them out of the house, and he hurried back to the room where he usually slept when he was not going home, changed his clothes and got under the covers.It's just that he was so nervous that he tossed and turned after doing such a big event, and couldn't sleep until sunrise.

On the other side, Huo Yu and Wu Xin brought Mrs. Zhu back to the Guo Mansion while the patrolling soldiers were changing shifts.

Jia Huan was already waiting aside, seeing Huo Yu and the others coming back, he hurriedly prepared hot tea himself.

Huo Yu didn't care about other things, let Wu Xin go to rest first, and then waited for Jia Huan to come over to discuss with the three of the Zhu family.

Zhu Shi is now desperate, so he can only trust Huo Yu and tell him everything he knows.

As Huo Yu said, Shi Guogan is dead, and her only motivation to survive now is to avenge Shi Guogan, and second, to be able to give birth to a child so as to leave a bloodline for Shi Guogan.

Therefore, she did not dare to lie to Huo Yu, and not only told all she knew, but also said: "My master has a confidant named Wang Jiusan, who was put into prison by Guo Zhanan's order, and now he doesn't know where he is. He knows Yes, there must be more than me, if he can be found, there will be more evidence."

Huo Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "There is no rush, as long as we find those officials tomorrow, they will naturally go to the prison to arrest people."

Zhu Shi nodded, she was pregnant, and she was frightened during this time, her body could no longer support her.Seeing this, Huo Yu ordered Jia Huan to tidy up a clean house, and called two [-] or [-]-year-old maids to wait on Mrs. Zhu for rest.

Early the next morning, Huo Yu led Zhu's family to the Xuzhou government office to beat drums and complain!
