The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 15 Ruan Lang Returns (14)

This is what the mayor asked me before. I didn’t tell him. Now he sees Mr. Wu’s family asking questions, and he looks at me with Ruan Lang. I really don't want to say it."

The mayor said with concern: "Do you have any difficulties, sir?"

I said: "I don't have any difficulties, it's just that I don't want to say it myself." After a pause, I said: "It's ashamed to say that it was only determined by accident, not that I have any ability to find out who the murderer is. In the past, I thought I was smart, not only did I not help others, but also caused a lot of chaos, I am really ashamed."

The mayor hurriedly said: "Mr., please don't say that. It is your power to solve this matter."

I smiled apologetically at Master Wu's family, and said: "I really don't want to say it, please forgive me, Master Wu's family."

Master Wu's family said strangely: "Everything has come to light, what else can we not say?"

I said, "It's not that I can't say it, but I don't want to say it."

Master Wu's family said helplessly: "Okay then, I dare not force you sir. Mayor, can I go?"

The mayor hurriedly said: "Okay, this time the murderer is really confirmed, just send Luo Xiaoshan to the county alone, you and Ruan shopkeeper don't have to go again, alas, it's because you are confused, it's not your own doing But admit it, if there is no husband, wouldn't it be an unjust death?"

Master Wu forced a smile, and didn't answer his words, just said: "Then I'll go back first. Sir, I'll go first."

I was about to say yes, suddenly Ruan Lang stood up, clenched his fists, stared at Master Wu's house, and said sharply: "Did you kill my father?"

Master Wu's family glanced at him, and said indifferently: "No."

Ruan Lang said again: "You are lying! Mrs. Luo and Luo Xiaoshan both said that my father died in the town."

Master Wu's family said unexpectedly: "They all said that your father died in the town?"

In fact, although Luo Xiaoshan and Mrs. Luo said that Ruan Lang's father died unexpectedly, they didn't say that he died in Luolian Town.Hearing Ruan Lang's words, Master Wu's family immediately changed their expressions and tone, and said, "That's right, your father did indeed die in Luolian Town, but it wasn't an accidental death, but his own death."

When I heard him say that again suddenly, I felt wrong. Before, he didn’t admit that Ruan Lang’s father died in Luolian Town. Now, after hearing Ruan Lang say that Mrs. Luo and Luo Xiaoshan had said that, he changed his mind again. There is obviously a problem with his tone, and it is obviously related to Ruan Lang's father's death.Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Ruan Lang became more and more convinced that he was the murderer who killed his father, and said bitterly: "You can't argue, I will definitely avenge my father."

Master Wu's family sarcastically said: "You will definitely avenge your father? You think you are smart!" Then he turned and left.

I heard him say the words "pretending to be smart" again. Although he didn't mean me, his face still had a fever, and he hurriedly said to Ruan Lang: "Don't be foolish, your father has been dead for more than ten years, and there is no proof Yes, we don't know who the murderer is."

Ruan Lang seemed to have decided that Mr. Wu's family was the murderer, and said stubbornly: "There is no one else but him, sir, you listen to his tone, you obviously know how my father died, but he didn't tell the truth, if it wasn't the murderer, he How would you know?"

This is true, Master Wu's family mentioned Ruan Lang's father twice, once insisting that Ruan Lang's father just passed by Luolian Town and left not long after, but this time they admitted that he died in Luolian Town , it seems that he really knows the cause of his death.I had to warn Ruan Lang: "No matter what, you can't do anything without evidence."

The mayor also said: "Listen to Mr., don't mess around, do you want to enter the county with Luo Xiaoshan?"

Ruan Lang pursed his lips tightly and remained silent. We couldn't talk anymore. Seeing that the night was getting late, I thought that Luo Xiaoshan was being locked up in the town hall because of Ruan Lang. It seemed inappropriate to let him go back to the Luo family mansion. , and asked him: "It's late at night, but you want to spend the night in the town hall?"

Ruan Lang nodded immediately. He followed him just now, and he probably didn't want to be in Luo's house anymore.I said to the mayor: "Just let him squeeze with me, the mayor thinks it's okay?"

The mayor said: "What's the matter, just go."

After tossing around in the middle of the night, we were all a little sleepy, so we went back to our rooms.I put the books on the bed into the package, and said to him: "Sleep, it won't be long before dawn." He nodded and didn't talk to me, so he lay down with his clothes on, I blew out the lamp, and he himself After going to bed, the two of them were relatively speechless, and they didn't know if he had fallen asleep. He felt tired for a while, and then he stumbled and fell into the dreamland.

I woke up when he woke up the next day. Seeing that I was awake, Ruan Lang said to me: "Sir, my things are still in Luo's mansion, can you accompany me to fetch them?"

I said: "Okay, I see, you have taken the things, you can leave with me, anyway, there is nothing to do here, and the mayor does not need you to enter the county together."

Ruan Lang hesitated and said: "Go and get the things first, then we can talk about it." I sighed secretly, he still wanted to stay in the town to avenge his father.

I washed up and went out with him.When we came to the Luo family mansion, the voice of Master Wu came from the main room early in the morning. We heard it intermittently, but the tone was very intense: "...for more than ten years, you have been walking in his habit , speak according to his habits, even eat according to his habits! Others don’t know, but I have seen you become more and more like him with my own eyes! More than ten years have passed, and I even suspect that he is not dead at all, when he died You are the one, and he survived with your face! Just because he died, you have lived like a man and a woman all these years, and now you still want to avenge him! I will never allow it Yes! Don't even think about it!"

We were all surprised that Mrs. Wu's family would come to Mrs. Luo so early, but his words made us all understand one thing. It turns out that Mrs. Luo has been living in the daily habits of Ruan Lang's father for more than ten years. No wonder Ruan Lang kept talking about Mrs. Luo being like his father.His mother must have been telling him about his father's living habits since he was a child. Ruan Lang heard about his father's living habits since he was a child, so he naturally has a sense of familiarity with his father. It is not surprising that he would feel familiar with Mrs. Luo.

And Mrs. Luo's love for his father is really deep enough, because she misses his father, and since his death, she has been deliberately living in his way. Others don't know, but Master Wu's family has always been watching.

Before we knocked on the door, the door suddenly opened. Master Wu's family came out angrily. When he saw us at the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and then said to Ruan Lang with raised eyebrows: "You came just in time. I warn you, don't mention any revenge to her, otherwise..."

Not to be outdone, Ruan Lang sneered and said, "Otherwise, what? I just want to mention it, what? But don't worry, I won't let her avenge me, I will come by myself, just wait."

Master Wu's family glared at him angrily. Mrs. Luo heard them talking inside and came out and said to us: "Don't pay attention to him, you come in."

When we walked into the main room, Mrs. Wu took a look at Mrs. Luo, obviously wanting to stay, but Mrs. Luo glared at him, and he left.Mrs. Luo closed the door and said to Ruan Lang, "You came just in time, I was going to find you."

Ruan Lang said unexpectedly, "Oh, why do you want me?"

Mrs. Luo said: "About your father. I know you have always wanted to avenge your father. You are a good boy. It is right to avenge your father. I shouldn't stop you."

Ruan Lang was overjoyed and said: "Are you going to tell me who killed him? In fact, I don't need you to tell me. It's Master Wu's house, right?"

Mrs. Luo smiled slightly and said: "You are a smart child, but I still can't tell you anything now, but I can guarantee that you will know in a day or two, and there will be satisfactory results. So, one or two days God, you don't do anything, can you promise me?"

Ruan Lang asked strangely: "Why did you have to wait a day or two? Isn't it possible to talk now?"

Mrs. Luo said: "You want to avenge your father, so do I. I'm not afraid that you will be offended, I even want to avenge your father more than you, so I have to make some preparations in a day or two. If—if it is me To avenge your father, will you blame me for not letting you do it?"

Ruan Lang and I were taken aback, and Ruan Lang hurriedly said, "How can I let you do it? I'll do it..."

Mrs. Luo shook her head, and said softly: "Let's not talk about it now, we'll see when the time comes. Anyway, you promise me that you won't do anything for a day or two, okay?"

Ruan Lang said: "Okay, wait a day or two, it's nothing."

Mrs. Luo nodded in relief, and said to me: "Sir, I have something to trouble you."

I hurriedly said, "Ma'am, please tell me."

Mrs. Luo picked up a letter from the table and said, "There is a letter that I would like to trouble sir to deliver."

I said: "Madam wants to take care of my business. It's exactly what I wish for. There's no trouble at all." As I spoke, I went to take the letter, but it was folded, and I couldn't see the address written on the envelope. She wanted to open the envelope to see where it was going to be sent, but Mrs. Luo stopped her voice and said, "The letter is folded, please don't look at the address for now, sir—you can check the address when you leave Luolian Town." , sir, can you promise me?"

I was a little surprised to hear her make such a strange request, but since the customer made such a request, I naturally had to do it, so I agreed immediately and put the letter in my pocket.Mrs. Luo saw that I had received the letter, smiled slightly, and said: "It's nothing, it's still early, so I won't keep you guys for dinner. Your things are all in the backyard, I'll get them for you."

It was an order to evict guests, so Ruan Lang and I had no choice but to stand up, wait in the main room for her to come out with Ruan Lang's things, and then we left.This meeting was uneventful, but it seemed very strange. Luo Xiaoshan had just been confirmed as the murderer the night before, but Mrs. Luo had always seemed calm and spoke softly. From a mother's point of view, it was unavoidable. Surprised.

Ruan Lang and I went back to the town office, and the mayor told us that it had been settled and that Luo Xiaoshan would be escorted into the county tomorrow. Did not come to see him.Judging from Luo Xiaoshan's deliberate efforts to harm Master Wu's family, his feelings for Mrs. Luo are actually extremely deep. After Mrs. Luo understands this, how can she be so indifferent to him?
The mayor asked me: "Sir, will you go out with me tomorrow?"

I thought about it, and said, "Is it convenient to borrow a day or two at the town hall?"

The mayor said: "It's nothing inconvenient. There are still people in the town hall. Just let me know when you leave." He glanced at Ruan Lang and said, "Don't make your husband worry anymore." I can see that I stayed here for Ruan Lang, and I don't want him to do anything wrong.

Ruan Lang didn't say a word, and the mayor and I chatted again, but I was thinking about what Mrs. Luo said before. She has to make some preparations, and then personally avenge Ruan Lang's father. Is she going to harm Master Wu's family?If this is the case, there is no need to prepare, Master Wu's family can even bear the crime of murder for her, what else can't bear it?However, listening to the tone of Master Wu's family, it seems that he is a little unwilling. It's no wonder that Ruan Lang's father is his great hatred for stealing his love. How could he be willing to pay for his life?So what is Mrs. Luo going to do to prepare?She is a woman, how dare she kill Master Wu's family?
