Chapter 416
"Slaves are always cautious in their words and deeds, so they won't make the Marquis angry." Jin Xin thought that Cao was afraid that Xu Xiaozu would continue to go crazy, so she blamed her.

"No, that's not what I mean. This matter is too secretive. Except for a few indispensable characters, the rest...I'm afraid that your life will be in danger. If you have a good way out, you can go on your own way. , and there is no need to go back to the Western Capital. I will send reliable people to serve your wife." Seeing her strange expression, Cao quickly reminded, "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the empress in the palace. Your wife can't do such a thing, and your Lord Marquis hasn't developed such courage yet."

Jin Xin shivered for a while: "But the servant... the servant only knows this, and dare not say it."

"Only the dead are the most reliable, people who can even give up their own flesh and blood, there is nothing they can't do. I'm tired, you make arrangements, if you want to go, make up your mind earlier." Cao sighed.

The Cao family is a woman in the house, and has some connections outside, but if it comes to competing with Queen Wu, it is absolutely impossible.She can only remind everything that should be reminded, and the rest depends on the fate of the individual.

Mr. Xu came in, looked at Cao Shi with a pensive face, and asked, "Is it because Xiaozu doesn't like this child? I guess it must be because he thinks it's a daughter and doesn't like it. How did I give birth to such a thing? It's all..."

Mr. Xu wanted to say that it was all caused by Li's side, but he didn't say it after thinking about it. Cao's expression was very unusual.

Cao looked at him, and said after a while: "Sir, sit down, since I already know about this, I can't hide it from you, I just hope you can share it with me..."

Mrs. Cao showed Du's letter and the swaddling baby to Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu walked on the ground worriedly, and became dizzy when he stopped.

"If you are a little careless, your head will fall to the ground, and the whole family will suffer..." Mr. Xu said.

"Master, do you still remember what you wanted to do most at that time? Govern the country and secure the country. If you can't do it, you hope your children and grandchildren can do it." Cao looked at him with a smile on his face. It was as if they had returned to when they were young, "That's right, maybe a head fell to the ground and the whole family was affected, but in case, maybe it's a person who is a minister, rich and honorable... There is nothing that can be achieved without taking risks. This The child will not be wrong in the future, even if she thinks wrong, the man in the palace will not really let her go."

"But..." Mr. Xu always thought it was weird.

"Being kind is not as good as raising Enda. She was brought up by us, and she is a descendant of our Xu family. What's more, the man in the palace will never recognize her in public in this life. She will always be a descendant of the Xu family." What's more, the blood of Xiaozu and my daughter-in-law are still in the palace, one day..." Cao didn't continue.

"Take chestnuts out of the fire." Old Master Xu said only these four words with his hale eyes.

"That's right, my concubine is a person from the old palace, and my master's family was once a distinguished family from the previous dynasty. In such a troubled world, they are all unwilling to let these two children complete everything that has not been completed for us. " Cao said with a smile.

The two snuggled together, watching the afterglow of the setting sun through the window.Mrs. Cao came out of the former court and did not ascend to a high position, but her good sister has become the most noble palace of Phoenix Palace in Datong today.Mr. Xu was even more responsible for the rejuvenation of the Xu clan, but he failed to realize it. Perhaps this would be a solution.

Jin Xin set off to return to Xidu the next day, thinking about Cao Shi's words, why didn't she want to leave.But in the mansion there is still a Du Shi who has been serving since childhood, she is worried, she wants to go together anyway, but if she can't, she can persuade Du Shi to come back to the ancestral house in Kunshan.

Jin Xin, the coachman, and two servants rushed back all the way, but they didn't even live in the inn, and they were going back after building the city day and night.Traveling to the mountains at night, the carriage ran for a while on a flat plank road, and suddenly stopped.

"Why stop?" Jin Xin said loudly, and the two servants beside her also became nervous.

There was no sound outside the carriage, but the servant woman who was close to the outside stretched out her hand and knocked on the curtain, but her hand was wet and sticky. The lamp was lit in the carriage, and the servant woman took a closer look, and immediately screamed, "Blood, blood..."

The maid just yelled twice, and a short blade pierced her chest. The servant next to her was about to yell, but the cry was still stuck in her throat, so she wiped her neck and sealed her throat with a knife.

Jin Xin was spattered with blood all over her face, she cried out "Ah", he was dragged out by someone outside, she fell to the ground, and finally saw the man in black licking blood with a long knife under Yuexia. , standing in front of her.

The men in black flipped through their bags a few times, took most of the silver taels inside, but spilled some on the ground on purpose.

"Girl, you said that someone will find you tomorrow, will you think that you have been robbed?" The man in black said lightly, as if he didn't kill anyone at all, but just crushed two ants to death.

"Who are you? You can have as much money as you want, as long as you let me go back to Xidu, my wife will give it to you." Jin Xin was reminded by Cao Shi, and she already knew it, but she couldn't ask him if Queen Wu ordered him. Yes, then she will only die faster.

"Do you really think that Master is robbing houses? It's fine, you jump down from there and leave you a whole body." The man in black looked at her, and there needs to be one less body here.

"You'd better kill me." Jin Xin closed her eyes, she was dead anyway, someone could collect her body if she died here, if she jumped from here, no one would know whether she was dead or alive...

"That can't be done. If you disappear, people will think that you are conspiring with the bandits." The man in black sneered, "Are you still dancing?"

"Today's life will end here." Jin Xin smiled coldly, fortunately this man did not humiliate her, and he would be clean after death, so she jumped and jumped down.

The wind whistled in her ears, and after a while she felt great pain and rolling. The sand and stones confused her eyes, and the chaotic stones and dry weeds scratched her whole body. After an unknown amount of time, her broken body finally stopped. .

The man in black sneered on the cliff, and jumped away when there was no movement.On the second day, a passerby who passed by here found the three corpses, was too frightened to speak, and immediately reported to the police.After a search, he found out that it belonged to the Ding'an Hou Mansion, and returned to Jin Xin, who had disappeared and started to search again.

After five or six days of investigation, Du's intestines were about to break from crying, and the government naturally did not find anyone, not even a dead body.

In fact, there were not many people looking for it carefully. The hillside is also called Wild Wolf Slope, and there are often wolves and wild animals haunting it, so few people dare to really look for it.None of them knew that less than an hour after the man in black left, the bloody man at the foot of the mountain moved...
