Hexi

Chapter 93
Su Qi swallowed his saliva and nodded heavily.

"It didn't rain during the day, and cumulus clouds appeared after it rained. I have lived in Zhuangzi for more than two years, and I have always been free and relaxed. I really don't want to go back, so I couldn't sleep for a long time at night. At this time Xi Mo heard the news from outside that someone was fishing at night by the river and caught a lot of fish, so I was very itchy and went out secretly."

"Where did you hear the news about washing ink?"

"He heard it in our house. At that time, several servants got together and chatted, so he heard it."

"Who are the chatterers?"

"I don't know." Su Qi shook his head, "Later, Nanny Bao also asked him why he heard the news and led me out, but he couldn't answer. Because he didn't know those people, and at that time The weather was not good, and he didn't really see it at all. In addition, we returned home later, and we haven't been here for a long time, so there is no way to find out."

Xi Mo is one year younger than Su Qi. Su Qi was eight years old when the accident happened, and Xi Mo was only seven years old. They didn't know each other at that time, so naturally it is impossible to recognize them again.

But the news came from the house, which is somewhat valuable.

Su Luo continued to ask: "What happened next?"

"Later, Ximo and I took a few servants to the river. Sure enough, someone caught them at night. Those fishermen treated me very kindly and let me board the boat to watch the fish. Later, when the rain came, they even asked us to go to their fishing boat. Take shelter from the rain in the hut."

"Do you know them? Have you seen them?"

"No." Su Qi shook his head, "Although I have walked around the village a lot, I haven't seen them. Maybe they are from another village."

Su Luo remained silent.

Su Qi paused, and then said: "Sister, that night by the river, I didn't know that my mother chased her out. I sent my family back to report the news, but because the water flooded the village, he couldn't walk through it. Go back and do it."

Su Wei sighed slightly: "Tell me about what happened later."

"I have been sheltering from the rain in the shed. Later, I didn't come back until Uncle Wu and the others found me and told my mother that something had happened. You will know everything after that. I know. You didn't think that mother was looking for her. I insisted on telling the story about going out, so everyone felt that she had committed suicide and didn't blame me anymore."

The more Su Qi spoke, his voice became softer, and the more he spoke, the lower his head.Because he has a guilty conscience.Although there are still many things he doesn't understand, there is at least one thing he knows. If people other than his sister and the confidants left behind by his mother knew that it was his waywardness that caused the accident to his mother, he would definitely not have any regrets. So comfortable now.

Su Wei looked at the teacup on the table, and said for a moment: "So, apart from us, no one knows that your mother went to look for you that night, and no one knows that you sneaked out that night, right?"

Su Qi thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Anyway, I didn't tell anyone. Only the people around me knew when I went out that night. Uncle Wu and Wu Sheng were also the ones who came to pick me up. The corner gate where I was taken away after listening to Madam Bao’s order was turned upside down, and no one noticed me.”

When Su Luo heard this, her expression gradually turned bad.

How could she not know these things?After the news of Mrs. Xie's death came that night, her first thought was to find Su Qi and skin him alive. As a husband, Su Shou was sorry for his mother, but Su Qi actually killed her!It was Mammy Bao and the others who held her back desperately, and told her the consequences that their siblings would face after being impulsive, so she held back, and then she has been holding back until now.

Su Qi's sense of smell is already very keen. Seeing her face change, she immediately said, "Is there anything else I want to say? What can I do?"

Su Luo glared at him: "Go back to your kennel! If you dare to say a word of the things I told you tonight, including father - as long as you say it one moment, I will drag you to the next moment." In front of mother's grave, I chopped off your dog's head!"

"I know!" Su Qi said hastily, "If this is the case, I don't need you to procrastinate, I will touch and die in front of my mother's grave to atone for my sin, okay?"

Su Luo said: "Get out!"

Su Qi rolled with his head down.

The night outside the window was dark, and Su Luo's gaze was also as dark as the night.

……

At dawn the next day, Lao Wu and Wu Sheng were waiting outside the yard.

Su Luo didn't close her eyes much all night, and Su Luo woke up early.After grooming and calling them in, Old Wu reported, "Last night, I found the long-term worker of the village chief's family. After drinking two rounds of wine, I didn't know anything about it. However, Wu Sheng seemed to get some information from the village chief. information."

Su Luo looked at Wu Sheng.Wu Shengdao: "When the younger one went, he happened to meet the head of the village who was pounding rice, so he helped out, and took the opportunity to talk about the flood from the crops. But the head of the village said this, he said: There is no such flood, Wuertun didn't stop either.

"The little one sounded strange, so he asked. The head of the village said that six months before that, someone wanted to buy the land in the village, but the head of the village didn't agree. Later, the crops in the village were inexplicably trampled on several times, and all of them appeared. At night. It feels like someone is out to get revenge."

Su Luo was puzzled: "Who wants to buy the land?"

"He said he was a foreigner. He couldn't tell where the accent was. He came once, but he didn't come again after being rejected."

Su Luo remained silent.

Fu Sang asked, "Could it be related to the people with the badges that the chief saw?"

Su Luo didn't say a word.

She can't say well.Originally, the information I got from the head of the village pointed to the fact that the murderer was an outsider, but after listening to Su Qi's explanation of the reason last night, I felt that if everything from Su Qi to the Xie family was premeditated, then the murderer should come from the Su family.

Because it is impossible for outsiders to enter the Su family's gate to spread the news, the servants in the Su family's house, except for the Su family's children, are the wives of each house who brought them from their natal families.

For so many years in the Su family, they haven't found any servants who are good enough to cooperate with outsiders to set up a situation.

Then what happened to what Wu Sheng heard from the head of the village?Also, where did those unfamiliar fishermen by the river come from?

Could it be that there was one group of people staring at the village, and another group of murderers who killed Mrs. Xie, but they just happened to bump into each other. The murderer saw the bad weather and thought there was a chance, so he took advantage of the situation and took advantage of it?
She pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to meet the head of the village. Is there any way for me to ask him, but not let him know my identity?"

Old Master Wu and Mr. Wu looked at each other and said, "If you want to keep your whereabouts secret, you must meet in the village. Or, go to the town and find a teahouse, and the girl will pretend to be from other places and talk behind a screen?"

After thinking about it, Su Wei nodded and said, "Find a room that is more secluded."
