The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 31
The weather became cloudy and sunny, then sunny and cloudy again, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

In the afternoon of that day, Lin Zhiyu received a reply from Xiao Xuan. There were only a few numbers on the letter. It was a sign of peace, but it made Lin Zhiyu's mood sink to the bottom.

Lan Sheng came in with soothing tea and saw Lin Zhiyu sitting in a daze with a frown on his face. He asked, "Miss? What's wrong with you?"

She saw the letter on the table and smiled: "Is this from Mr. Xiao? Mr. Xiao must have arranged it properly, right?"

Lin Zhiyu said a soft 'hmm', picked up the calming tea, and drank it absentmindedly.

Lan Sheng was a little unsure of Lin Zhiyu's thoughts. Mr. Xiao received a letter. This was a good thing. Why was he still so depressed?

Not just today, Lan Sheng couldn't understand that Lin Zhiyu's situation had been going on for a while.

She stopped delving into the reason behind it and said to Lin Zhiyu with a smile: "Miss, I just heard about a happy event!"

Lin Zhiyu raised his head and asked, "What happy event?"

She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

"Miss! You must have not heard that the bandit den in Qiji Mountain was taken away by some hero and martyr last night!"

Seeing that Lin Zhiyu didn't respond, Lan Sheng reminded loudly: "They are the gangsters who blindly kidnapped you and Young Master Xiao!"

Lin Zhiyu felt helpless at Lan Sheng's rashness from time to time, "I know, please elaborate."

Lan Sheng nodded his head and said excitedly: "They died miserably! All their heads were chopped off. Excluding the old, weak, women and children, there were 160 people in total. The bloody heads were stacked in rows and hung all over the village gate. Three The headless corpse of a bandit leader was even sent to the government!"

"Miss, you don't know that the three bandit leaders were thrown over naked. Their bodies were criss-crossed with whip marks and their flesh was rotten. They are whipped corpses! Miss, tell me, how much hatred must there be!"

"The government soldiers rushed to Qiji Mountain bravely all night. It was cold last night. I heard that when they arrived, their heads were frozen, and the blood froze into ice. The stone steps were covered with frozen blood. When the cold wind blew, , it’s also scary enough.”

"But evil will be punished. Whoever allowed them to be domineering, bully men and women and do all kinds of bad things can be regarded as giving you and Young Master Xiao a breath of bad breath!"

"I don't know who is going to kill the people. The imperial court has issued a list of heroes and posted notices to find those heroes. Before, I thought that this job of suppressing bandits would most likely fall on our master and young master. Who knows? That’s it!”

Lan Sheng put his hands on his hips and laughed, and Lin Zhiyu also curled his lips.

When Lin Zhiyu received Xiao Xuan's letter, he knew that the bandits were defeated, but he didn't expect that his entire family would be massacred.

As Lan Sheng said, these reckless bandits have done all the bad things and deserve retribution. However, who else but Xiao Xuan could use such ruthless and cruel methods.

Lin Zhiyu was disappointed with this result, but not surprised.

If Xiao Xuan was eliminated so easily, he would no longer be Xiao Xuan.

Fortunately, she lowered her attitude enough beforehand. Although the process was a bit frustrating, it was able to clear her of suspicion and prevent Xiao Xuan from linking the assassination to her.

"Miss, why don't we invite a doctor to come and take a look? Why can't I sleep at night? Look at you, you are so distracted talking."

Seeing Lin Zhiyu's lack of energy, Lan Sheng was extremely worried.

Lin Zhiyu waved his hand, "Eat less at night and you will naturally fall asleep. You should restrain your skills these two days and make less snacks. Don't covet me."

"Miss! Just listen to me. If you don't want me, please go find the madam."

"Shut up! Do you dare to tell grandma about this? If my notebook is found, you will have to copy it all back to me even if you don't sleep!"

"Miss!" Lin Zhiyu's ears were finally clear until Lan Sheng was carried out by Run Shu.

She took Xiao Xuan's letter and walked to the stove. As the flames rose, the letter turned into a pile of ashes.

This is the third letter Lin Zhiyu has burned in recent days.

Lin Zhiyu felt that it was a pity that her money was wasted this time, but when she thought of someone who was more disappointed and frightened than her, she felt better again.

Although this attack was a defeat, it was not a loss.

On the other side, Erfang also received the news that the Qiji Mountain bandits were massacred.

When Xie Yiwan heard that all the bandits were dead, she was enjoying paintings and drinking tea with her friends in a teahouse. After hearing the news, the blood drained from her face. She immediately found an excuse to say goodbye to her friends and returned home to find the Song family.

Compared to Xie Yiwan's anxiety, Mrs. Song was much calmer.

Mrs. Song was pruning the flowers and plants with scissors, "When the bandits die, they die. Only dead people will not leak secrets."

Xie Yiwan does not deny this, but there is something more terrifying than this.

"I heard that the man surnamed Xiao is still alive, mother! Do you think it was him who did this? He had the ability to kill everyone in one night without anyone noticing. Qiji Mountain The bandits are a headache even for His Majesty!"

Mrs. Song ignored Xie Yiwan's shouting.

Xie Yiwan walked around behind Mrs. Song, "Mom, have we found out the details of this person named Xiao?"

Mrs. Song said calmly: "It's just like what he said."

Xie Yiwan frowned, stared at Mr. Song for a long time, and said in disbelief: "You are really too poor to open the pot? There is a half-dead sister at home? How can such a person compete with us?"

Mrs. Song: "So you don't have to be so panicked."

Xiao Xuan survived, but he was also seriously injured and almost lost his life. Maybe he was just lucky enough to escape with one breath.

"Mom, there are not only capable killers in Qiji Mountain. Those gangsters are powerful, but there are people outside. Why don't we find someone else to kill Xiao Xiao while he's still breathing?" he!"

"If he is innocent, we will pray that he will be reborn in a rich and good family in the next life. If he gets involved in this matter... Huh! Mother, I would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!"

As soon as she heard that Xiao Xuan was a pariah without a backer, Xie Yiwan's murderous intention arose again. She still resented Xiao Xuan for rescuing Lin Zhiyu. If he hadn't interfered with it, how could she and Pei Shizhi have ended up like this? Tough situation!
Mrs. Song refused: "This matter is not urgent."

After finding out the details about Xiao Xuan, the Song family's fear of him was reduced a lot.

After a new year, the money of the second house was already tight, so they bribed the gangsters from Qiji Mountain twice. Those people wanted tens of thousands of taels of silver with their mouths open. If they continued to squander like this, they would soon be hard-pressed. almost there.

Irrelevant people should no longer take up resources.

"What's going on with Lin Zhiyu?"

Xie Yiwan did not give up her thoughts on getting rid of Xiao Xuan. After hearing this, her thoughts paused and she said truthfully: "I asked Runshu to add something to her dinner. She hasn't slept well for several nights in a row and has been listless all day. I think I won’t have the strength to show off in front of my son anymore.”

Mrs. Song nodded, "Just give me a lesson, don't go too far. Your great-grandmother's birthday party is coming soon, so don't cause trouble."

Xie Yiwan snorted and nodded, "I'll stop torturing her for a few more days."
