Thinking of death, Aunt Tao showed a strange smile.
Yes, it would be better to die!
However, of course it won't be her who dies, but the prisoner.
Since that spy doesn't want to be sold out, then he should die in the Shifu!
Anyway, there are not many wronged souls like her in the Shifu.
After thinking about this matter, Aunt Tao's originally gloomy complexion gradually improved.
"Go and tell your uncle that I need to see him for something."
Aunt Tao waved her hand to her confidant and gave her instructions in a low voice.
"Yes, ma'am."
Liu Kunpeng was extremely nervous at home. Xiao Liuzi went with that group of people, so logically he should have succeeded long ago.
How come you haven't come back yet?
Could it be that there was an accident along the way?
Liu Kunpeng was thinking wildly while comforting himself.
It'll be okay, it'll be okay, after all, it's not the first time he has done something like this.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, waved the woman who had been serving him out of his bedroom, then pulled off the quilt and lay down with his eyes closed.
Liu Kunpeng didn't know that the woman who was waiting for him was killed with a knife covering her mouth not long after she left the bedroom door.
At this time, there was no movement in the Liu family.
Early the next morning, the porter collecting night fragrance had just knocked on the back door of Liu's house, and saw that the back door creaked open a crack.
The porter curiously pushed the door open a little, and then a strong smell of blood hit his nostrils.
His hand suddenly shook, and the strength in his hand became slightly stronger, and half of the door panel was pushed open by him.
I saw several corpses lying scattered in the backyard, with blood flowing all over the floor.
"Ahhhhh...kill someone!"
A horrified cry came out from the porter's throat. He fell to the ground and rolled up, running and shouting.
The government official arrived very quickly. The county magistrate was standing in Liu's courtyard with a handkerchief covering his nose. Then he saw the chief catcher walking over with a solemn look on his face and whispered quickly into his ear.
The county magistrate was stunned for a moment, then turned his head slightly, looked at the chief catcher with bright eyes, and then asked.
"What you said is true?"
The chief catcher nodded and handed an opened envelope to the county magistrate.
"This letter contains evidence of Liu Kunpeng's dealings with the bandits from Tianfeng Village, and these people in the mansion were killed by the desperadoes at first glance. It must be that Liu Kunpeng and the bandits from Tianfeng Village are at odds with each other.
I know why something went wrong, so the water bandits from Tianfeng Village came in at night and killed everyone in Liu's house."
"Hey, Tianfeng Village!"
The county magistrate took in a breath like a toothache. Fengzhai lived on a peak in Nanhu that day.
It was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it was not as if the imperial court had not sent people to suppress the bandits.
However, every time I went there, the water bandits in Fengzhai got the message and closed the only ladder going up the mountain. There were steep cliffs all around, and the officers couldn't get up at all.
And on that mountain peak, it is said that Tianfeng Village is self-sufficient. Even if they were besieged for half a year, they probably wouldn't be able to make them surrender honestly.
The most annoying thing is that as soon as the officers and soldiers of the imperial court's encirclement and suppression campaign left, the ships passing along the river suffered disaster.
That time, almost eight out of every ten ships would be snatched away by the bandits from Tianfeng Village. The remaining two were so frightened that they would rather take a long detour and spend more money than head towards the waterway of Nanhu Lake.
Go, it's better to have no money than to have no life.
For this reason, the passing caravan ships were so frightened that they stopped sailing from the Nanhu side for more than half a year.
Seeing the arrogance of the water bandits in Tianfeng Village, the Tian family was furious.
Later, the imperial court sent a young general over to use a trick to deal with Tianfeng Village and lure people from Tianfeng Village to rob the ship. Countless water bandits from Tianfeng Village were hacked to death and captured at the beginning.
After that battle, the water bandits who were injured in Tianfeng Village and managed to escape were frightened out of their courage and no longer dared to easily come down the mountain to rob the passing fleet.
But similarly, the imperial court no longer went to suppress the water bandits in Tianfeng Village.
After all, the people from Tianfeng Village have been nesting on the mountain peak. Without him to lead the way, there is no way to go up to the mountain peak.
But I didn't expect that Liu Kunpeng would be so courageous.
He dared to interact with the water bandits in Fengzhai that day. Thinking of the fact that under his jurisdiction in the past few years, there seemed to have been several cases of robbery by bandits in the county.
Now that I think about it carefully, I'm afraid it has something to do with Liu Kunpeng.
"Go and arrest all the relatives and friends of Liu Kunpeng. I will question them carefully."
Originally, the county magistrate wanted to take care of Liu Kunpeng's family, but when he thought about it, Liu's house was now completely barren, so how could he still have any family members?
The only ones who can be there are probably married sisters and relatives who don't live in Liu's house next to each other.
Aunt Tao was waiting for her brother to come to the house, but instead of waiting for Liu Kunpeng, she waited for the detective sent by the county magistrate to find Aunt Tao.
"What did you say?"
Aunt Tao initially felt strange when she heard that the police were coming, but when she heard what they said, she was so frightened that the tea cup she was holding fell to the ground, making a clear and crisp sound.
The fragment scratched the delicate instep of her foot, and Aunt Tao didn't notice it at all.
"Are you Liu Hongtao? Liu Kunpeng is your brother, right? More than 20 members of the Liu family were slaughtered in one night yesterday. Therefore, the county magistrate has ordered me to ask you to come and inquire. Come with me!"
"
After hearing this, Aunt Tao couldn't breathe and fainted.
When the policeman saw this, he immediately frowned. It was really troublesome.
Shi Xulin was recovering from his injuries with his forehead wrapped, but when he heard a servant coming to report that a policeman had come to look for Aunt Tao, he was immediately startled.
Aunt Tao wouldn't have done anything with her back to him that he didn't know about, right?
Not daring to think about it carefully, Shi Xulin called for someone to dress him up and hurriedly ran towards Aunt Tao's yard.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Aunt Tao, her face pale and she fell backwards and fainted.
She was so frightened that she didn't even bother to call the police. She stepped forward and hugged Aunt Tao, shouting loudly for the doctor.
When the policeman saw how Shi Xulin was dressed and how intimate he was with this woman, he knew that this was Master Shi.
When I came here, the county magistrate said that the Shi family had just elected a member of the imperial family, and we didn't know how far we would go in the future, so we should try not to offend him as much as possible.
Therefore, the detective bowed his hands to Shi Xulin, and then said politely: "Master Shi, the county magistrate would like to ask your aunt to ask a few questions. Is it convenient?"
When Shi Xulin heard what the police officer said, he didn't feel the other party was polite at all. He just felt suffocated in his heart. Didn't Aunt Tao faint?
It's inconvenient. Could it be that he is blind?
I am angry in my heart, and it naturally shows on my face to some extent.
