Chapter 158 Counterattack

Although the manager Peng was not completely right, he might not know where Miss Liu was today, and he thought everyone was checking on the water truck.

Because Xie Zhiyun asked, he wanted to please the young lady again, so he said something greedy for me.

This is not a big deal. Xie Zhiyun is a little anxious now and wants to take a look at the shoes of all the women in the village as soon as possible. Therefore, she didn't think much about Manager Peng, so she stood up and said, "You have to rest."

After saying that, she led Chaoyu away.

The waterwheel is located at the foot of the mountain and is built on the bank of the stream. It relies on the trickle of stream water to drive the waterwheel and bring the water irrigating the rice fields into the canal.

This water truck that saves manpower was studied by Xie Yuan when he read ancient books. He did not hide his own personal information and directly gave the drawings to Wei Cang. In the past two years, it has been promoted throughout the eight prefectures.

The families of aristocratic families who own large fertile fields all used such water trucks. Wei Cang also tried hard to leave a little silver in the military rations. He also helped the people build water trucks in areas where the fertile fields were large and suitable for building water trucks.

Therefore, the increase in grain output in the past two years is due to proper hydraulic irrigation.

Xie Zhiyun knew what the water truck looked like, and she could draw drawings, so she said to Xiao Zhong directly: "Xiao Zhong, go to the water truck and take a look. If the butler is there, let him go to the vegetable field. If he is not there, let him go to the vegetable field."

Xiao Zhong hesitated a little: "Mrs. Young Madam, it's not very safe recently."

Xie Zhijun smiled and said, "It's okay, this is his own village, and there are so many veterans busy in the field. You can go and go back quickly."

Xiao Zhong looked at the veterans not far away and thought to himself that he was right, so he ran away quickly.

Xie Zhijun led Chaoyu to continue walking to the vegetable field.

On the way, Chaoyu also said, "Miss Ruan is really unlucky. Why are there so many things happening recently? She is afraid that it is not her zodiac year."

"It seems to be true," Xie Zhijun smiled, "She seems to be twenty-four."

Speaking of this, Xie Zhijun said: "I will still have to check the wound on her leg when I go back. I remember there is ointment at home, and I should have brought it in the carriage, so I will get her a bottle later."

Inflammation on the legs can easily cause fever and typhoid fever, but it should not be delayed for too long.

Xie Zhiyun said this, and suddenly remembered the dream she had last night.

In the dream, she only saw the pair of embroidered shoes and the legs covered with blue and purple marks.

After killing the deceased, the murderer didn't even wear clothes for her, so he let her lie in the rice fields without dignity and die silently.

Later, the scene that Xie Zhiyun saw in her dream was probably because she couldn't bear it and covered her with clothes.

Maybe she was afraid of breaking the traces of the scene, so the manager did not change the posture of the deceased, and simply changed the clothes on her.

Xie Zhijun stopped and slowly closed his eyes.

She recalled the look she saw.

The leaking corner of the clothes was wrinkled and covered with blood, but it can also be seen that the clothes were made of coarse thread and should be blue-gray.

Under the fabric, there are also a small scar on the legs that are not covered with concealment.

The scar was not bright red, and the blood on it had dried up. When Xie Zhiyun first analyzed it, he thought it was a wound cut by the rice stalk. What if it wasn't?

What if that injury had been there long ago?

Xie Zhijun suddenly opened his eyes.

Just now, on the messy bed of Mrs. Ruan, there seemed to be a blue-gray coat. Although it was impossible to tell whether it was the same, the color was at least the same.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhijun felt more and more that Miss Ruan might be the victim.

But she doesn't have those pair of embroidered shoes.

The pair of plain green embroidered shoes with only one leaf on them.

Then is it Mrs. Ruan?

Xie Zhiyun suddenly became swaying.

However, Chaoyu saw her standing in the same place in a dilemma, frowned and pondered for a while, and was a little anxious.

"Miss, it's cloudy and it may rain. Let's go and go back early, right?"

Xie Zhiyun suddenly looked up at the sky. It was clear that the sky was clear, but now it was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

I don’t know when it started, but the warm sun also hid in the dark clouds, and the world was in chaos, and there seemed to be no bright color anymore.

Xie Zhiyun's heart sank.

It will rain today, and it seems that the murderer is likely to be taking action today.

She can't hesitate anymore.

Xie Zhiyun made up her mind, and she immediately ordered Chaoyu: "Go to the vegetable field to find Lady Liu quickly and ask her to summon all the female family members to see who has a pair of plain green embroidered shoes embroidered with leaves."

Chaoyu almost didn't hear it clearly and was stunned for a moment.

Xie Zhiyun was not angry.

"You remember, the plain green embroidered embroidered shoes with leaves," Xie Zhijun said. "I found this person, protected her, and let the managers accompany him to the back room, Madam Ruan's residence."

Chaoyu stuttered a little: "Miss, where are you going?"

Xie Zhiyun's face was slightly dark and she said, "I'll go see Mrs. Ruan, I always feel something is wrong with her."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the hem of the skirt and ran to the road.

Chaoyu never went against her intentions. When she heard this, she could only continue running forward.

The two parted ways here.

When Xie Zhiyun returned to the front of the wing, she was already exhausted and panting.

She took a breath, came to Ruan's house and knocked on the door.

"Du, dumb, dumb."

It was quiet inside. Mrs. Ruan, who had just spoken to them, didn't know whether she had fallen asleep or went out, but no one opened the door.

Xie Zhijun knocked on the door again and said, "Miss Ruan, are you here?"

It was the time to work, and the entire back compartment was empty. Her knocking sound echoed between the houses, making her look a little deafening.

Xie Zhiyun frowned. She quickly pulled out the dagger from her waist and hid it in her sleeve, then stretched out her hand and pushed it gently.

The door creaked open.

The room was very dark and there was no light. Xie Zhijun's eyes flashed, and then he saw a figure hiding into the other side of the bed.

Xie Zhijun adapted to the light and shadow before he could see the decorations in the room.

The tables, chairs and benches are still in place, and even the bedding on the bed is no different from the moment. The only difference is that Mrs. Ruan is not there.

Xie Zhijun frowned and said, "Miss Ruan is still sick, why aren't she here?"

As she said this, her feet moved slightly, as if she was about to exit the door and search.

However, the incident happened in an instant.

Although Xie Zhiyun had never practiced martial arts, she often practiced Vajra and was still very agile. She flashed into the bedroom, and a cold light flashed across the dagger in her hand, pressing directly on a person's neck.

Her movements were very fast and her hands were very accurate, and she directly pressed a blood mark on the man's neck.

"Staff Manager Xiao Peng, we're meeting again."
