My wife has a secret

Chapter 63 Past Events

"I was originally a poor scholar who was frustrated and unhappy. Three generations of my ancestors were copyists in Heshui County. When Brother Lu was appointed as the magistrate of Heshui County, he took a fancy to me and hired me as a legal advisor in the government office."

Dongzangshi's face suddenly became clear and he recalled the past.

"Heshui County is located in Longxi, a remote area. In the early years, there was a heavy snowfall that was rare in ten years. The snow piled up to people's knees. At that time, it happened to be the end of the year when the case was closed. Brother Lu kept Xiaohe at home, leaving only a wet nurse to take care of her."

"But who would have thought that the lover of the nanny was the murderer who was being interrogated in prison. He took advantage of the fact that Brother Lu was not at home, threw Xiao He in the ice and snow, and escaped in the dark."

Dong Zangshi said slowly, "Fortunately, the nurse did not take off the swaddling clothes. When I found Xiao He, she was still alive."

"After Xiao He was taken home, he had a high fever for three days and three nights. Although he was miraculously rescued, he was left with a chronic illness and could not get cold."

When Xu Qing heard Dong Zangshi's gentle voice, no longer as sharp as it was at the beginning, he knew that he really cared about Xiaohe.

"The Lu and Xu families are engaged. My eldest brother didn't save much wealth because of his honest style, but I know... if Xiao He wants to marry a famous family like the Xu family, she must keep a good dowry. This is her support and confidence in her husband's family in the future."

Envoy Dong Zang paused for a long time and then said, "So I helped the White Lotus Sect smuggle weapons and hid them in the clinic and the dry well in my own house. But once you cooperate with the White Lotus Sect, there is no turning back. Once there is a first time, there will be a second time, and after a second time, there will be a third time..."

The Winter Storage Envoy sighed and said faintly, "By the time I realized what was happening, I had already become the Winter Storage Envoy who held great power in the sect. This kind of power, second only to a few people but above ten thousand people, is addictive."

Xu Qing continued, "You have retained a trace of clarity and know that Lu cannot be involved in the affairs of the White Lotus Sect, otherwise her life will be in danger after the truth is revealed."

"Ah."

The Winter Storage Envoy nodded slowly.

He changed his appearance and became Doctor Ning just to distance himself from Lu Wanhe. Even when the Lu Mansion was invaded by his own people, he resisted the urge to take action.

As long as the White Lotus's plan succeeds, he will be the king of Suzhou.

At that time, he would go to every household to demand compensation for all the humiliation Xiaohe had suffered.

"Uncle Liu?"

While the two were talking, a graceful and beautiful figure appeared at the entrance of the alley.

She was breathing heavily, her hands resting on the wall beside her. She looked extremely fragile, as if she could be blown down by a gust of wind.

"Is that you, Uncle Liu?"

After figuring out the key to the matter, Lu Wanhe resolutely ran away from the scene of the fight, and even the fox fur coat that Xu Qing gave her was thrown away somewhere.

"Xiaohe..."

The Winter Envoy, who had shown no sign of wavering expression before and after being captured, had tears in his eyes for the first time and spoke silently aloud.

This is the first time the two meet in their original appearance after losing contact.

"Xu Qing, I failed to complete the mission assigned by the sect, and I am dying. I explained everything to you just now because of Xiao He's face... Take good care of her for me. If anything happens to her, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"

Xu Qing was somewhat puzzled by Dong Zangshi's hasty arrangements for his funeral arrangements. After all, he was already firmly under Mingzhu's control.

No matter how powerful the White Lotus Sect is, it's impossible for them to kill people in front of me, right?

"The world has two colors of yin and yang, and the freedom of all things is within me. The three thousand worlds are full of life, and the spirit returns to the white lotus heart."

Dong Zangshi ignored Lu Wanhe's call and instead loudly recited a passage of obscure poetry.

Xu Qing suddenly woke up. What Dong Zangshi had been talking to him about for a long time was actually only the White Lotus Sect's plan for the Suzhou territory.

He did not say a word about the other three star gods or the Holy Lady Leader of the White Lotus Sect.

Dong Zang is delaying time, waiting for his accomplices to come and kill him!

"Mingzhu, smash his mouth!" Mingzhu obeyed the order, but when she raised her fist, a mysterious smile appeared on Dongzangshi's face.

"God's messenger! Send me to heaven..."

Before Mingzhu's sandbag-sized fist could fall, Dongzangshi, who was leaning against the wall, vomited blood and his head twisted to one side.

Before he died, his eyes were fixed on Lu Wanhe.

"It's behind the wall!"

Seeing the sharp blade leaping out of Dong Zang's abdomen, Xu Qing deduced that the White Lotus killer used the same strategy as himself, secretly hiding behind the wall, and dealt Dong Zang a fatal blow.

Mingzhu started to smash the wall, but after blasting the wall open, where was the trace of the black-clad killer from the White Lotus Sect?

Mingzhu was so angry that she cursed loudly, "These scoundrels only dare to do things that are not worthy of being mentioned in public. When I find them in the future, I will definitely kill this group of people..."

Lu Wanhe managed to run to the side of Dongzangshi and caught his falling body.

She recognized Uncle Liu's familiar face and knelt on the ground in a daze.

"why is that……"

There was a gleam of light in Lu Wanhe's eyes, and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain.

When she saw Dongzangshi's appearance in the courtyard, she felt that his eyes and movements were very familiar.

It was not until Dong Zang ordered his troops to stop and retreat that Lu Wanhe vaguely guessed the other party's identity.

……

The eaves of a restaurant in Suzhou City.

Several figures fell to the ground, all of them were wrapped in black and wearing strange and bizarre facial masks.

Although the man sitting in the middle had his face covered by a black scarf and his body wrapped in a hood, one could still see his dry and rough skin from his sleeves, just like tree bark in winter.

"Spring brings life, while winter hides death."

Yaoguang Xingjun, who was wearing a white mask, saluted towards the old man and made strange sounds that were not common among ordinary people.

Their vocal cords were torn by the White Lotus Sect when they joined the sect, and it is no longer possible to tell whether they are human or ghost.

"Dong Zang was a smart man with some brains, but he was trapped by a young girl and developed a demon in his heart, which led to his failure. It's really sad..."

The voice of the Spring Envoy was hoarse and weak, but it was like a hammer hitting the hearts of the Star Gods.

"Such a colleague is not worthy of being listed among the immortals. Cross his name off the immortal list."

"Yes."

Yaoguang Xingjun didn't dare to utter a word. He bowed his head and asked in a low voice, "The girl from the Lu family was the person that Dongzangshi cherished the most when he was alive. Do we need to get rid of her as well?"

Envoy Chunsheng smiled calmly and replied calmly: "If Envoy Dongzang wanted to rebel, he would not have waited until you came. There is no need to kill everyone."

He stood up gently and floated above the eaves like a black cloud.

"What's more, the layout in the capital has been completed. The big tree of the Xu family is about to be uprooted."

"Yes, Spring Envoy."

In full view of everyone, several people disappeared into thin air.
