After everyone had gone out, Yun Su said, "Aunt Huan, Xiao Zhuo and I went back last night and thought about it. We felt that this matter was not simple, so we wanted to ask for your help to find the person behind it.
come out."
Mrs. Zhao frowned, "You mean, someone was behind this matter?"
Although Yun Miaomiao had mentioned it to her before, Hualu had also told her, and now Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo also said the same thing, she originally had a little hope that her family was not involved in this matter, but now it seems
Come on, it's probably impossible.
Seeing her appearance, Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked at each other, "Did Madam have had this speculation before?"
Mrs. Zhao told her previous events and speculations, "I originally thought this matter was a coincidence, but now it seems that it is not that simple. You just said you wanted me to help, just say, I can do it.
I will definitely help you."
Xiao Zhuo thought about it for a while, then said quietly, "That's it, we want you, madam, to help organize a funeral for County Magistrate Zhao. The people behind it want to frame Magistrate Zhao. When they hear the news, they will definitely come out to confirm.
, even if he doesn’t come in person, his lackeys will come and leave some clues. When the time comes, we will follow the clues and turn passivity into initiative, so that it will be easier to do things."
"What?" Mrs. Zhao's eyes widened, "Our master is not dead yet, and you ask me to organize his funeral. This is not a curse on him, and I don't agree."
The two of them anticipated her reaction and planned to persuade her. At this moment, Hualu walked in, her face was pale and there was no blood at all.
"Madam, Wang Guard wants to see you."
Xiao Zhuo and Yun Su looked at Hualu. Something was wrong with her. Who was that guard Wang?
Mrs. Zhao calmed down her expression and looked serious, as if what just happened had never happened.
"You hide behind the screen. Guard Wang is the guard at the city gate. If he sees you, there will be another storm. Although the master is not here, I will protect you when he handed you over to me."
, I can’t let you have the slightest mistake.”
Yun Su glanced at Xiao Zhuo's face. Indeed, Xiao Zhuo is getting longer and wider now. Not only is his appearance getting better and better, but even the aura on his body cannot be ignored. What's more, there is no disguise on Xiao Zhuo's face now.
It's easy to make people suspicious.
With an irresistible face and a natural regal aura, who wouldn’t be suspicious after looking at him?
Xiao Zhuo and Yun Su walked behind the screen, and Mrs. Zhao asked Hua Lu to invite Guard Wang in.
There were two people following behind Wang Guard. When he saw Mrs. Zhao's haggard face, Wang Guard's heart sank. What was going on?
"I've met Mrs. Zhao." Guard Wang saluted with the people behind him.
Mrs. Zhao wondered why Guard Wang came to see her so well, "I wonder if Guard Wang came to me for something important?"
Guard Wang said in a deep voice, "Madam, my subordinate originally wanted to go outside the city to find you, but I took the magistrate's beard and blocked the way at the gate of the city. I really had no choice but to go through the underground river.
I went out to look for the secret passage, and my subordinates sent people out. The people who went out also sent back the news, saying that they found the county magistrate and Miss Yun's clothes in the underground river. The subordinates wanted to bring these things to Madam.
Take a look and see if it’s the county magistrate’s clothes.”
"What?" Mrs. Zhao was stunned, "Are you talking about the smelly river leading outside the city?"
As far as she knew, it was a stinking ditch that everyone despised, and no one would go near it.
Wang Guard nodded, "Yes, Miss Yun and her people went out from there in order to save you. I think Miss Yun can go out with a daughter's family, and so can we men. I didn't expect that in the water and on the shore
After finding these, the swamp area was also trampled into a mess by Pang Beard's people, and there is no trace at all. If the adults didn't get out of the swamp, then there is a 80% chance."
"Eighty percent what?"
Guard Wang pursed his lower lip, "It's probably because of an accident, but don't worry, madam, we will continue to search for traces of you along the underground river."
The bad news came as a bolt from the blue, hitting Mrs. Zhao's heart like a thunderbolt, shocking her to the point of confusion.
"You." Her voice choked up instantly, "You, you are saying that our master will never come back in the future, right?"
Guard Wang grimaced, "The underground river leads to the big river outside. Although the water in the big river is not as fast as usual in the eyes of the drought, it is still dangerous. If it is washed into the big river, my subordinates dare not be 100% sure that Zhao
The magistrate is still alive."
Mrs. Zhao's sad eyes were filled with moisture, but she tried her best to hold back the tears and never let them fall.
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo looked at each other. Yun Miaomiao should be with Magistrate Zhao, but the guard Wang found their clothes and brought them over.
Is this a cover-up deliberately set up by Yun Miaomiao, or is Wang Shouwei deliberately testing it?
Yun Su was glad in his heart that he did not tell Mrs. Zhao about Yun Miaomiao's letter, otherwise the secret would be exposed now.
fine.
After Guard Wang left, Yun Sucai and Xiao Zhuo walked out of the screen. Mrs. Zhao's eyes were red and she was crying silently.
"Aunt Huan, please forgive me." Yun Su consoled her.
Mrs. Zhao was originally sad that her husband would never come back, but when she saw the faces of Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo, she swallowed all her sadness.
She lost her husband, but Yun Su had just lost his parents, and now he had lost his dearest sister. He was the one who should be sad the most.
"Aunt Huan is fine." Mrs. Zhao tried her best to look calm, "I will take care of what you just said, and you and your sister will also take care of it."
In a blink of an eye, she was the only adult left in the family. No matter how sad she was, she still had to support the family.
Yun Su opened his mouth and wanted to tell her that Yun Miaomiao and Magistrate Zhao were still alive, but Xiao Zhuo stopped him.
"Aunt Huan, my cousin will be fine. I believe in her."
The implication is that Mrs. Zhao does not need Mrs. Zhao's help to organize Yun Miaomiao's funeral. Yun Su understands what Xiao Zhuo means and follows suit.
"Sister is a person who even God will take care of. Aunt Huan, she and Magistrate Zhao will be fine."
Mrs. Zhao looked at the confident expressions of the two people and sighed in her heart. She was still young and didn't know how dangerous the underground river was.
"Then I won't take care of your sister's matter. It's just that the adults in our family were beaten up by those unreasonable people, and even a big piece of their forehead was broken. Now they have fallen into the underground river again. Even if they are
I haven’t been flooded and I don’t have a doctor around me, so I’m afraid...”
When Hua Lu came back from seeing someone off, she happened to hear these words and felt uncomfortable.
Magistrate Zhao is usually kind to his family, he is affectionate with Mrs. Zhao, and he never messes around. How could something happen to such a good person?
When Mrs. Zhao saw her coming in, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Hua Lu, go tell the housekeeper and bring back a good coffin, clean the main room, and decorate the mourning hall."
"Madam~" Hualu couldn't believe it.
Mrs. Zhao said calmly, "If you ask people to prepare good things, there will be many people coming and going in front of you. You must make people watch the backyard. No one can enter this backyard except me. If something goes wrong, I will take it as your responsibility."
ask."
Hua Lu naturally knew in her heart that something happened to Magistrate Zhao now, but Xiao Zhuo could not let anything happen again.
"The slave understands and will definitely beat them again and again to make them be careful."
"Go down and let the affairs of the mourning hall be handled as soon as possible."
After Mrs. Zhao finished her instructions, she waved her hand and asked her to go down. There were many and complicated things, so Hua Lu didn't dare to delay, so she turned around and went out to call for help.
Yun Su felt relieved when he saw that Mrs. Zhao was really fine, "Aunt Huan, as soon as the news about Mr. Zhao's accident spread, the person behind him might not be able to sit still. Madam, please pay more attention to your words and deeds.
There is someone fishy, maybe that person is the one plotting against Mr. Zhao behind the scenes. If we have clues, we can seize the opportunity to avenge Mr. Zhao."
Mrs. Zhao took her words to heart and said, "Don't worry, although I am a housewife and know nothing about outside things, I am also the county magistrate's wife after all, and I will not be bad at seeing people. By the way, you are still here during this period."
Don't go out of the house, just study hard in the backyard. I will also let people keep an eye on the list. As soon as there is news, I will let people tell you. I will also let people pay attention to the matter of Yun Yatou. Yun Su, please relax.
, she will be fine."
Yun Su and Xiao Zhuo nodded, and then each returned to their own courtyard.
