Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 34: Identity exposed, robbery and murder (Please collect and read)
Just as Su Ran was hugging He Meier to comfort her, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.

He Meier heard the sound and immediately pushed Su Ran away.

She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hands. Perhaps she was afraid of being seen by others, so she subconsciously hid behind Su Ran.

The next moment, Xiang Ling was seen walking in from outside carrying wine and food.

The person who opened the door for her was a thin, middle-aged woman, who should be Fan Ma as He Meier said.

After Xiangling entered, Fan's mother wisely closed the door and left. She didn't say a word from beginning to end, and she seemed to be a very responsible servant.

After Xiang Ling arranged the food and wine on the table, she came to Su Ran's side obediently and said with a smile: "Master, hurry up and eat. You're already starving."

Seeing this, Su Ran looked at her and smiled: "You guys should eat some with me, otherwise I won't be able to eat so much by myself."

"But I've already eaten, how can I still eat?" Xiang Ling said a little embarrassed, "Besides, I'm just a servant, how can I eat with you?"

He Mei'er, on the other hand, did not refuse, but walked to Xiang Ling, took her hand and said: "Let's sit with me for a while and eat something. You can't bear to see me eating boringly alone, right?" ?" After saying that, she sat down generously and began to pour wine for Su Ran.

Seeing this, Xiang Ling had no choice but to timidly sit half of her butt on the stool.

Obviously, she had been wandering outside before, and she was used to living a poor life, and she still didn't adapt to such a life.

Drinking alone is definitely not as comfortable as being accompanied by a beautiful woman. At Su Ran's suggestion, Xiang Ling and He Meier also drank a little.

This afternoon, surrounded by beauties and filled with jade and fine wine, was undoubtedly a wonderful time.

Su Ran, who has lived in the desolate and cold land of northern Xinjiang for a long time, can no longer remember when he had such leisurely and contented enjoyment.

After eating and drinking, Su Ran took He Meier and Xiang Ling, packed some things and left.

According to his idea, he should cross the Yangtze River before dark and then head all the way to the capital.

However, as soon as Su Ran and the two girls arrived at the riverside, they were intercepted by a group of people dressed in black.

After a cursory glance, there were about two hundred people in this group, all of them holding weapons in their hands and looking fierce.

However, what surprised Su Ran was that the leader was actually a middle-aged woman.

And this middle-aged woman was actually Fan’s mother who had just cooked for herself.

Seeing this scene, Su Ran couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

If this woman had just poisoned the food and wine, then even if her special constitution was not a big deal, He Meier and Xiang Ling would definitely suffer.

Thinking of this, the anger in Su Ran's heart was suddenly ignited, and he slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist.

The woman at this moment no longer had the honest and frank look she had just now, but had another sinister look on her face.

"You are in such a hurry, where are you going?"

Su Ran smiled coldly, stepped forward, and protected He Meier and Xiang Ling behind her.

At this moment, He Meier understood everything.

These people cannot be sent by others, they can only be from the Zhen family.

It turned out that the Zhen family had never believed in themselves from beginning to end, and Fan Ma was the spy they placed around them.He Mei'er was extremely angry and stared at Fan's mother. She never thought that she would be treated like this in the end after having done so much for the Zhen family.

As a woman, seeing the Zhen family doing whatever they want in the Jiangnan area these years, she had no choice but to turn a blind eye because of her status.

However, in the past two years, their behavior has gone too far and is intolerable.

Take the robbery of food and wages this time as an example. This is creating unrest for one's own selfish interests, but in the end it's not the common people who suffer?
In addition, after knowing that the Zhen family had placed spies around her from the beginning, He Meier was completely disappointed with the Zhen family at this moment.

Just as she was thinking about this, the woman spoke again.

"Don't think that I don't know anything. This person is an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court, right? I heard everything you said in the room before. Therefore, I advise you to be sensible and give up resistance. In that case, maybe I will leave you with a complete corpse."

After hearing these words, Su Ran finally understood the purpose of this group of people coming here.

They already knew the identity of their imperial envoy. If they brought He Meier back to the capital to serve as a witness, Emperor Qingyong would know everything the Zhen family did in Jiangnan.

With these clues at that time, the Zhen family will inevitably face the danger of being liquidated.

Therefore, as long as he and He Meier are eliminated, the Zhen family's affairs in Jiangnan will not be spread to the capital. They can still continue to dominate, control the officialdom in Jiangnan, prey on the local people, and even rebel Things.

In their minds, they must die, so they mobilized people to rob and kill themselves on the river bank.

Facing this group of people, Su Ran suddenly smiled: "Since everyone is at odds with each other, there is nothing more to say. Come on, let's see if you guys can keep me here? I'm not afraid to tell you, I am the imperial envoy sent by the Holy Emperor to Jiangnan. What is the crime of killing the imperial envoy? You'd better weigh it and see if the master behind you can bear this crime!"

As soon as these words came out, those guys holding weapons also hesitated a little.

However, the woman did not have such a consciousness: "Now you kill them and throw them into the river without anyone noticing. Who can know that we did it? If you don't do it now, you will die if you go back!" "

This last sentence completely touched everyone's nerves.

I don't know who shouted, "Brothers, kill them and go back to collect the reward." Then, Su Ran saw a group of people holding their weapons high and slashing at him.

Facing these rabble, Su Ran smiled slightly and raised the long knife in his hand.

Wherever the blade touched, there were only bursts of screams, the sound of bones breaking, and the sound of flesh splitting. The air by the river was quickly filled with the smell of blood.

Su Ran managed to kill more than 200 people with just a few simple moves.

When he walked up to the informant woman with a long knife in his hand, the woman was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, please spare my life, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, please spare your life, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy! I can be a witness. The Zhen family asked me to do this. It has nothing to do with me."

When Su Ran heard this, he didn't want to pay attention to her begging for mercy. He raised the knife and cut off her head directly.

Only this sentence echoed in the air.

"I hate people like you!"

The river wind became a little stronger, and a ferry boat headed towards the north bank of the Yangtze River like an arrow from the string.

A full moon rose, and before I knew it, it was February [-]th.
