People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 370 The Eight Immortals in Shangdong finally gather together! 【five】

About two hours passed.

Alai walked out of the brothel satisfied. Although he spent a lot of money, the girls inside were really nice and good at serving people.

It makes people feel happy and reluctant to miss Shu.

If he didn't have something important to do and couldn't stay here for a long time, he might have decided to stay here for the night.

It is said that Alai left the brothel and headed north.

Just walking down the street for less than a cup of tea, suddenly a child was holding a bunch of candied haws in his hand. When he lowered his head and chewed it, he didn't look at the road and accidentally bumped into Alai.

Alai ignored this and walked past.

Unexpectedly, the child lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, and dropped the candied haws in his hand.

It was a little painful from the fall, and the child let out a cry and burst into tears.

At an unknown street corner, a woman suddenly rushed out, ran over in a hurry, picked up the child on the ground, and immediately protected him behind her, frowning and looking at Alai.

When Alai recognized her, she suddenly panicked and didn't dare to look at Alai at all.

Seeing this, Alai did not stop him.

Thinking that she still had a child, Zuo Sanglu did not dare to argue with him, so she could only say:

"At worst, I'll give you my twenty taels of silver and stop following me!"

Hearing this, Alai shook his head, stared boldly at Zuo Sanglu's delicate body, and said:

That is, the little girl from the Zuo family.

Suddenly, her expression changed and she felt a little at a loss.

Alai saw that the woman was nervous and full of bad taste in his heart. He laughed jokingly and said.

Furthermore, he might be able to use this to blackmail Zuo Sanlu and get a free advantage.

at the same time.

at that time.

The cry quickly attracted the attention of passers-by.

But Alai refused to let him have his way.

Thinking about how these few people had forced themselves to get eighty taels of silver, now that they are in Fengqiu County, they don't dare to mess around.

"I do not know you!"

"Haha, you robbed my young master of my money, and you still ask me what I want to do?"

Zuo Sanglu turned a few corners and came to an alley. She thought she could get rid of Alai, but unexpectedly, he still chased her!

"You...what do you want to do?"

"He fell down on his own, what does it have to do with me!"

Keep away from yourself.

Really why not.

"There is no such cheap deal in the world. Not only do I want money, I also want...even you!"

Thinking of this, Alai couldn't help but walk a little faster.

Zuo Sanglu never expected that she would meet the rich young man who had just forced her to do something in Fengqiu County.

This woman was just about to have a few words with Alai.

Hearing this, Zuo Sanglu didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

"You go."

Alai recognized the woman's identity, his voice suddenly sharpened, and a look of amusement appeared on his face.

It turned out that this woman was none other than the woman who had seduced him with her beauty on a remote road.

But he still followed slowly.

The words fell.

Zuo Sanglu knew that she couldn't escape, so she hugged Xiaoqin and asked with a wary look on her face.

Therefore, Alai's ruffian nature has improved and he has gained a little more confidence.

"It's you!"

Seeing everyone pointing at him, Alai looked annoyed and scolded.

"You don't know me, young master, but do I know you?"

"What are you doing, young master?"

There was nothing wrong with him, but this child bumped into him.

He knew that the woman must be afraid that he would reveal the previous robbery.

Many people looked at Alai.

He immediately picked up Xiaoqin and turned around to leave.

Alai looked fierce and sneered.

Say it.

Zuo Sanglu immediately took a mouthful of spit and cursed:

"Pooh!"

"Shameless!"

Alai wanted to laugh when he heard this, but his voice suddenly became much colder:

"Shameless? Speaking of which, I am much more shameless than you!"

"I don't have the patience to fight with you. If you don't agree, I will go and report it to the official!"

"I don't believe it, the young master. The government can't find out what you're doing!"

Zuo Sanglu was so angry that she wanted to scold Alai, but she was afraid that he would really report it to the official.

"you……!"

She knew in her heart that there was no guarantee that a noble man like Alai would not collude with the government.

So if it really pissed him off, it was very likely that he would really suffer.

Then not only her, but also her brothers will be in trouble.

While thinking about it, Zuo Sanglu felt in a dilemma.

After a few breaths of silence, Zuo Sanglu suddenly lowered her posture and begged Alai:

"Master, please do well and let the little girl go."

"Of course, you can take good care of me, so you won't care."

Alai stared at Zuo Sanlu's delicate body with fiery eyes and laughed lewdly.

Hearing this, Zuo Sanglu's heart sank, feeling extremely humiliated.

But for a while, there was really nothing she could do.

Once she resists, the whole family may be in danger because of her.

Finally, she gritted her silver teeth and forced a smile, with a tragic look on her face:

"Then it will be according to the wishes of the young master."

"That's right." After hearing this, Alai just thought he had enlightened and smiled.

After saying that, he reached out his hand and hooked her round and firm chin.

In this regard, Zuo Sanlu did not resist, she could only blush slightly and let Alai do this.

at the same time.

Xiaoqin next to her saw it and pushed Alai away:

"Bad guy!"

"Don't bully mother!"

Xiaoqin roared and opened his arms, bound to protect Zuo Sanglu.

Alai frowned and threw Xiaoqin aside impatiently:

"Little bastard, stay out of the way!"

With his push, Xiaoqin stumbled and fell to the ground. His forehead was swollen, red and even bleeding.

Seeing that Xiaoqin was injured, mother Zuo Sanglu was immediately distraught and immediately ran over to check the wound.

"Don't pay attention, let him play aside."

Alai glanced at it and saw that there was nothing wrong with Xiaoqin, so he urged Zuo Sanglu.

After a while, he narrowed his eyes and smiled again, not paying attention to Xiaoqin.

"Are we going to your home or an inn?"

Zuo Sanglu wiped Xiaoqin's wound and felt slightly relieved after hoping that there was no big problem with him.

I don't know.

At this moment, some subtle changes occurred in her heart, and a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head and whispered a few words to Xiaoqin, then turned back to Alai and said:

"Go to my house!"

Hearing this, Alai's heart felt hot, and he was a little excited for no reason:

"Then lead the way."

The words fell.

Zuo Sanglu took Xiaoqin to the front, passed this alley, and walked to the north street.

In response, Alai followed him calmly.

After walking for about half a stick of incense, Zuo Sanglu led Alai to a room in the second courtyard.

Arriving at home, Alai saw no one else. As for Zuo Sanglu, after bringing Xiaoqin in, she first let him go to the backyard to play alone.

When Alai saw Xiaoqin leaving, he immediately carried Zuo Sanlu into a room, threw her on the cloud bed, and began to take off her clothes.

During this process, Zuo Sanglu did not resist, but was very cooperative.

The moment he was thrown off the bed.

Zuo Sanglu took out the scissors from the quilt, and when Alai was not prepared, she suddenly slashed his throat hard.

"Damn it!"

Alai didn't expect that Zuo Sanglu would suddenly attack him, so he quickly ducked sideways.

But the scissors still hit Alai and poked his collar open. A line of blood appeared on his neck. Fortunately, it was very shallow and not serious.

But even so, Alai was still angry.

He suddenly snatched the scissors, and without thinking, stabbed Zuo Sanglu in the chest.

Swearing:

"You bitch, are you crazy? You dare to harm me!"

Alai thought Zuo Sanlu would dodge this blow.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Sanglu didn't even try to avoid it. She let the scissors stab her chest, and blood immediately flowed out of her body.

At the same time, Zuo Sanlu let out a scream, perhaps because of pain, and stared at Alai.

Alai looked at the red blood in front of his eyes and suddenly woke up.

He threw away the scissors in his hand and stumbled out of the house, not daring to look back.

He couldn't imagine whether Zuo Sanglu was alive or dead?

But it's clear.

If he stayed here, he would definitely lose his life.

Therefore, after he left, he fled like crazy and left Fengqiu County on horseback, not daring to stay here for a long time.

The longer you stay in Fengqiu County, the more dangerous you will be.

After all, he was responsible for a life.

In fact.

Not long after Alai left.

The magistrate of Fengqiu County received the news from the capital that he was looking for an uncle and even sent a portrait.

In response to this, the magistrate of Fengqiu County wasted no time and hurriedly sent people to search around. He also specifically interrogated the soldiers guarding the gate.

After some interrogation, I found some clues.

The person in the portrait today came to Fengqiu County!

Magistrate Fengqiu was overjoyed after hearing his subordinate's report.

Hurry up and ask someone to inquire.

Unexpectedly, within an hour, a government official came to report that a civilian woman had died at home.

Died by being stabbed in the chest with scissors.

Magistrate Fengqiu didn't care much about this case.

He randomly sent a police officer to investigate the case, and then patiently waited for news about finding Uncle Guo.

The Fengqiu County Magistrate also inquired about this uncle.

I knew he was the younger brother of Imperial Concubine Lan.

As for Concubine Lan, everyone said for a while that she has the appearance of a mother who cares about the world.

Therefore, in the opinion of Fengqiu County Magistrate, if he can be found, he will definitely be valued by the court.

Drinking tea, he waited for about half an hour, when suddenly two groups of government servants hurried to the house to report:

"Sir, it's not good!"

"That man escaped from Fengqiu County!" the officer reported.

Magistrate Fengqiu raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at the man and asked:

"What does escaping mean?"

"Sir, my subordinates have found out that the cause of death of the Zuo family woman on You'an Street was caused by this person."

"Now, he is fleeing out of Fengqiu County in fear of crime."

The yamen servant held the portrait in his hand and said seriously.

As soon as these words came out.

Magistrate Fengqiu's expression changed, and he stood up in shock, looking at this man in disbelief:

"what?!"

"Have you found out clearly?"

"This is a serious matter. If you cling here randomly, you will be punished by death!"

When he said this, his tone was solemn.

Seeing this, the yamen servant knelt down, looked up at him, and answered seriously, word for word:

"Sir, I understand."

"But the people on You'an Street did see the person in the portrait arrive at home with the Zuo family woman, and they fled in a hurry before half a stick of incense was left."

"In addition, according to Xiaoqin, the son of Zuo's civilian wife, he saw this person molesting his mother with his own eyes!"

Upon hearing this, Magistrate Fengqiu's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and then ordered:

"Go and call that little Qin."

"By the way, if the Zuo family woman has any relatives in the county, we have summoned them here!"

"Little one, let's do it now!"

The Yamen servant took the order.

After saying that, he left.

……

……

In the evening, after the Fengqiu County Magistrate's interrogation, it was finally confirmed that the uncle of the country had killed the Zuo family woman!

Why was he killed?

The Fengqiu County Magistrate still couldn't figure it out for a while.

But it is true that the uncle of the country was teasing the women of the Zuo family. Some people have seen him in person on the street.

Now that there was real evidence, Magistrate Fengqiu became more energetic. He immediately wrote down what he knew and sent it to the capital.

Simultaneously.

He also ordered that no one was allowed to discuss the matter.

Those who violate the order will be severely punished!

But paper still can't cover the fire.

In Fengqiu County, rumors have begun to circulate that the uncle-in-law of the current dynasty bullied women, resulting in the tragic death of women from good families!

As soon as the news came out, it spread from one person to another, and within a day, many people in Fengqiu County had already heard about it.

……

……

As for Mrs. Cao and Cao Jingxiu, they heard about it at noon the next day.

Mrs. Cao didn't believe it at all when she learned that Cao Jingqian failed to rape a good woman and killed her. She argued loudly:

"impossible!"

"Qian'er, you won't do such a stupid thing. This matter must be a mistake. I have to go to Fengqiu County in person to investigate clearly!"

Hearing this, Cao Jingxiu sighed first, and then said helplessly:

"Mother, you are old, how can I bother you to get out in person?"

"Now that the matter has come to this, it is better to find Brother Qian first. Otherwise, I am afraid that within three days, this matter will be known to everyone in the field. By then, Brother Qian may really be in danger of his life!"

At this moment, Mrs. Cao had no other solution.

Hearing what Cao Jingxiu said, he had no choice but to nod in agreement:

"Hey, then it's up to you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to have expected something again, and her tone couldn't help but tremble a little. She didn't dare to look at Cao Jingxiu, and just asked hesitantly:

"Jing Xiu, you...go and find your brother quickly. As long as you find him, there will be...a turn for the better, right?"

Cao Jingxiu couldn't respond, so he had to smile bitterly and replied:

"Mom, now that things have come to this, I hope Brother Qian has not done those stupid things, otherwise even if he is the uncle of the country, he will still not be able to escape the punishment of the law!"

Say it.

Mrs. Cao stood stunned on the spot and did not react for a long time.

When he came back to his senses, he wanted to discuss it with Cao Jingxiu again, but found that he had already left the house...

……

……

The Fengqiu County Magistrate's document was delivered to the capital at night the night before yesterday.

I met Cao Jingxiu, the minister of justice, this morning.

Seeing the figure in a scarlet robe, Magistrate Fengqiu walked over tremblingly and saluted:

"I will pay my respects to Lord Cao!"

"I don't know that Mr. Cao is here, but I am a bit far away from you. I hope Mr. Cao can forgive me!"

"There is no need to be polite. I am sure you already understand my purpose of coming. On the way here, I have sent a letter to each county government, asking them to fully assist me in finding Cao Jingqian!"

"It's been a day or two, Magistrate Xia, do you have any clues?"
