"The servants found dozens of letters in the dark layer of the suitcase in the steward's house."

"One refined iron crossbow and three bottles of poison."

The person who answered turned to the servant woman who was carrying a wooden tray behind her. There was a stack of thick letters in the tray. Next to the letters was a rough bow and crossbow. A small porcelain vase with celadon and white glaze was placed in the corner.

Du Chunxing took the leather glove from the maid, picked up a letter and read it at a glance, then threw the letter on the tray, and said with a sneer, "Du Hai washed himself clean."

"Ling'er, Jinnian, come and take a look."

Song Ling responded, and also put on his gloves and picked up a letter to examine. He read four or five letters in a row, frowning.

Most of the letters were questions and answers between the steward and the person named Yin. At the beginning, they were simple topographical maps of Beijing, and the words of the two were also quite cryptic.

When it comes to the names of places and people, code names are often used to refer to them, which makes people confused.

But according to the date of the letter, the last one was a month ago.

In the above words, the master, the poison.

Keep your wife and children safe for life.

According to the death of Mr. Du, it is not difficult to infer a fact that the steward colluded with foreign thieves and killed the young owner.In the end, seeing that Luo's family had found out the truth, he was afraid that the matter would be revealed and poisoned Mr. Du before committing suicide.

Although Di Rong was not directly mentioned in the letter, Di Rong's standard bow and crossbow and Di Rong's unique poison all hinted at the identity of a foreign thief.

But if this matter is really what the steward did, why did he keep the deadly letter?

It shouldn't be so negligent.

Du Chunxing obviously also noticed this, pointed at the letter and sneered, "Does Ling'er think it's credible?"

Before Song Ling could reply, she grabbed a handful of letters and threw them on the ground, sternly saying, "It's all lies!"

Song Ling silently bowed and picked up the letter.

Du Chunxing first ordered people to send the small porcelain bottle back to Luo's house for Bai's inspection, and then carefully sealed the bow and crossbow.

After doing all these things, he ordered: "Go to the steward's family, if you are born, you must see the person, and if you die, you must see the corpse!"

I can't find it, Song Ling silently added in his heart, no matter whether it is sinking in the mud, or flying far away, he will definitely not be able to find it now.

He looked at the wax seal on the letter and carefully recounted what happened in Qingyuzhuang in his mind.

According to his previous speculation, Du Chunxing staged such a big scene to expose the collusion between the Du family and Di Rong, and she had actually obtained substantive evidence of the Du family's and Di Rong's filth.It is even possible that Di Rong's stronghold in Shangjing has already been figured out, but she can't do it by herself.

In the current world, paternal power is the sky, even if Master Du committed a heinous crime, she, a daughter, cannot expose it.

If Du Chunxing ends up in person, there will only be a dead end.

But Du Chunxing is now the second wife of the general's mansion, and her status is respected, so how can she be willing to bear all this.

Therefore, there is only one way to guide them all the way, to guide them to discover the pus hidden under the skin of the Du family, and finally let the dark hands hidden in Qingyuzhuang come up with evidence to make a final decision.

The evidence may be Di Rong's stronghold in Shangjing, or it may be witnesses or physical evidence who know about Mr. Du's contacts with Di Rong.

Master Du played around and put everything on the manager's head. Du Chunxing naturally didn't want to see this.

If what he expected is correct, then Du Chunxing will do everything possible to remove the suspicion for the steward.

But he didn't want to be led by the nose, he had to take the initiative in everything, and the Chengnan Armory was an unexpected change for Du Chunxing.

He was the only one who experienced the sword wound!

When the servants put away the searched things, Du Chunxing suddenly said: "Ling'er, Jinnian, follow me."

coming.

Song Ling's heart moved, and he responded calmly, followed by Luo Jinnian who had been silent from the beginning to the end.

After passing through a corridor, they arrived at a desolate small courtyard. Song Ling raised his head and looked at the entrance of the small courtyard.The plaque hangs in the middle, the corners are damaged, it hangs crookedly, and it is covered with cobwebs, and the words Lve Yingxuan can be vaguely seen.

Du Chunxing raised his hand to caress the crumbling door, and remained silent for a long time.

The wind knocked on the door, interrupting her thoughts, she sighed, and said quietly: "This is where my mother lived before she died."

She looked nostalgic, and recalled: "Mother has a generous temper, and treats that lowly servant girl like a half-daughter, and never treats her harshly."

"But who would have expected that it was this generosity that killed her in the end. Her mother didn't die at the end of her life, she died at the hands of a poisonous woman whom she regarded as a half-woman, and at the hands of Du Hai, who couldn't tell right from wrong." Voice The resentment in the heart overflowed.

That's it, Song Ling sighed secretly, he had noticed that Du Chunxing's hatred for the Du family was inexplicable before, even if Master Du took another concubine after his wife died and gave birth to a concubine, Du Chunxing shouldn't have such deep hatred, insisted on It caused the Du family to die.

This makes sense, Du Chunxing and the Du family are separated by the feud of killing their mother.

In her eyes, everyone in the Du family is not a relative, but a murderer.

The concubine is the culprit, Master Du is the accomplice, and Du Shaoshang is the evil son who stepped on her mother's bones.

Blood debts must be paid in blood!

"Let's go first, I'll stay here for a while to accompany my mother."

Du Chunxing always turned her back to Song Ling and the two of them, making it difficult to see her expression clearly. She could only hear her hatred, hurt, and thoughts from her breathing surrounded by sorrow.

Song Ling and two people saluted silently, and walked away one after another.

While walking on the corridor, light snow suddenly fell in the sky.

Tiny snowflakes fell on the white silk that can be seen everywhere in Qingyuzhuang, and for a moment it was impossible to tell who was whiter and who was more clear.

Qingyu Village is like a seemingly innocent snowflake that has melted and the ground is full of dirt.

As Song Ling walked, his fingertips suddenly felt warm. He stopped and looked behind him.

Luo Jinnian, who remained silent from the beginning to the end, gently hooked his fingertips, and stood there with stubborn eyes.

The voice was trembling that I didn't even notice,

"Duyu, I want to take you and my aunt home together. When I come out, there must be no one left behind."

He's not a fool, he just doesn't want to think about it, doesn't want to see the filth in the world, behind him is the most powerful power in the world.It is enough for him to live with his will and make him worry-free all his life.

But people can't be innocent forever, outside of Luofu's wings, he faced people's hearts and the mud for the first time.

Luo Jinnian didn't notice Du Chunxing's strangeness at the beginning. He always felt that the Dirong people were behind the Guqiubale incident, but why did Song Ling always hide things from Du Chunxing, and why did Du Chunxing care so much about Qingyuzhuang, who had severed relations with him early? .

All in all, how can people not feel suspicious.

Song Ling held Luo Jinnian's palm tightly.

He said softly, "Jinnian, don't be afraid."

"I will take my second aunt home with me."

The snowflakes were carried by the mischievous wind, touched Song Ling's eye feathers, and turned into transparent water droplets. The eye feathers trembled slightly, and the water droplets were thrown into the air and fell.

Luo Jinnian saw himself in the reflection of the water droplets, so powerless and broken.

He loves beauties, Song Ling is the most beautiful person he has ever seen, fragile and alienated.

But he thought he was wrong, the real vulnerable person was Luo Jinnian.

He supports the skin with teeth and claws, but the inside is vulnerable.
