Aunt Bai asked when she went to deliver shoes to Su Liang yesterday. She knew they were not going to the market, so she didn't call them.
The town was very lively. Two soldiers shouted "get out of the way" and their horses galloped past. After a brief panic, the situation soon returned to normal.
In the county office, Mu Luo had a stack of case files in front of him, which were about several cases of missing girls that had occurred in Bei'an County in recent years.
After he sent Chang'an to find Su Liang last night, he went through the case files again. This was to find evidence against the Wu family and his son. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that those cases were inseparable from Wu Yun and Wu Huaian.
"At that time, Mr. Ning said that Miss Su was asleep, so I didn't dare to break in. The matter was so important, he wouldn't hide it from Miss Su, right?" Chang'an frowned.
Mu Luo thought thoughtfully, "Wu Yun sent someone to ask Su Liang to treat his son during the day. Later, Su Liang disappeared. Ning Jing reported the case. I have official business and took people to search the Wu family..."
Changan was stunned, "Miss Su disappeared? When did it happen?"
Mu Luo shook his head, "She's fine. This is a new plan I thought of. I just need her to hide for the time being and not show up. Plus there are these real cases of missing women, I don't think she will refuse."
Chang'an understood, "Master is saying that if Miss Su disappears and Mr. Ning reports to the police that the Wu family and his son have serious suspicions, we can go to the Wu family to find someone?"
"That's right." Mu Luo nodded.
"But in this way, won't it alert the enemy?" Chang'an asked.
Mu Luo snorted, "It's too easy to hide things like account books secretly. I originally planned to let Su Liang take advantage of the opportunity of treating Wu Huaian to sneak into the Wu family to look for it, but this method is very risky and dangerous.
It is almost impossible to succeed. She was right to refuse. The Wu family's shameful things are not only iron ore smuggling. It is extremely difficult to find evidence of crime before moving on them. It is better to take down the people first. The ledger is used by them to contain the conspirators.
It will not be destroyed easily."
After saying this, Mu Luo wrote a letter and gave it to Chang'an, asking him to deliver it to Su Liang, "Don't show up, find someone else to go with."
As soon as Chang'an took the letter and went out, guards came to report. General Wu Lao sent someone here.
Mu Luo intuitively felt that something was wrong, otherwise Wu Yun would not have taken the initiative to contact him.
"It's an urgent matter. Master Mu, please leave for the Wu family immediately!"
Mu Luo's eyes flashed slightly, "General Wu has invited me, and I don't dare to neglect it. Unfortunately, I am busy with official duties and can't get away. If I don't know what is going on, I can't go rashly."
After the two people who arrived looked at each other, one of them said, "Someone kidnapped my young master."
Mu Luo looked surprised, "Such a thing happened in broad daylight? Who did it? It's so outrageous!"
"Master Mu will find out when he goes there."
Mu Luo became less anxious when he heard that the person was being cryptic, "A man or a woman? Maybe he is a suspect in an old case that I am investigating."
"woman."
Mu Luo's heart was moved, but there was a look of indignation on his face, "You are so brave that you dared to kidnap General Wu's son. What is your intention? I will take someone with you right now!"
…
The sun climbed overhead.
In late autumn and early winter, there are cool breezes and little warmth from the sun.
Wu Yun and Su Liang had been confronting each other for nearly two hours.
The wound on Wu Huaian's neck was not deep, but thin threads of blood kept seeping out. He was not in good health, and now his face was as pale as gold paper and he could not stand up.
Wu Yun had Wu Huaian's wheelchair brought in, medicine to stop the bleeding, and water and food.
Su Liang refused them all and did not allow anyone to get close to her.
Poison technique is Su Liang's shortcoming, but compared to endurance and will, she is not afraid of it.
Wu Yun kept staring at Su Liang, waiting for the moment when she was tired and distracted to fight back and save Wu Huaian.
But as time passed, Wu Yun was shocked, because he found that Su Liang's eyes became clearer and clearer.
As a veteran, he knows how difficult it is.
This woman is no ordinary person!
If we could turn back time, just go back to yesterday, Wu Yun and Wu Huaian would definitely not provoke Su Liang again.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
"Master Mu is here!"
Hearing a shout, Su Liang did not immediately turn her head to look. She knew that if she relaxed, she might be killed by the master arranged by Wu Yun in the dark.
Mu Luo came on horseback and saw a slender figure from a distance, which was not unfamiliar.
Although the person sent by Wu Yun was vague and did not explain the identity of the person who kidnapped Wu Huaian, Mu Luo had already made a guess.
The moment I saw him, he guessed it.
What's even more coincidental is that what happened at this moment was exactly what Mu Luo expected.
The surprise on Chang'an's face could not be concealed. Ningjing clearly said that Su Liang was asleep last night, so how could she come to the Wu family alone and arrest Wu Huaian? Mu Luo said that the Wu family was surrounded by iron walls and was heavily guarded. What did Su Liang do?
Arrived? Why did you do this?
"Miss Su?" Mu Luo exclaimed after seeing Su Liang's face, "How could it be you?"
Su Liang said coldly, "Master Mu is finally here. I was fine at home last night, but for some reason I suddenly passed out. When I opened my eyes again, I was at the Wu family."
Mu Luo frowned and looked at Wu Yun, "General Wu, what's going on?"
In name, he was a veteran general and a small county magistrate, but Wu Yun knew that Mu Luo was the fourth prince Duanmu Chen, and Mu Luo also knew that Wu Yun knew his identity.
Mu Luo's identity cannot be revealed in public, but there is no need to act deliberately.
Therefore, Mu Luo had no humility at all in front of Wu Yun, only some superficial courtesy.
Naturally, Wu Yun did not dare to be arrogant in front of Mu Luo, and even had to be very cautious to prevent things from getting into an uncontrollable situation.
Wu Yun sighed deeply, "Master Mu, this is all a misunderstanding. When I learned that there was a girl with excellent medical skills in Sujia Village, I wanted to find her to treat my son Huaian's leg disease. I sent someone to ask for her, but Miss Su didn't.
I am willing to come. For the sake of my son, I impulsively wanted to invite Miss Su here first, and then apologize to her later. She is so kind-hearted and can definitely understand my love for my son. But I didn’t expect Miss Su to be so angry.
No matter how I explain, she refuses to listen..."
Chang'an was simply stunned. What Mu Luo had planned actually happened ahead of schedule.
Mu Luo looked serious, "General Wu, are you saying that you drugged Su Liang and abducted her from her home without her consent?"
Wu Yun sighed repeatedly, "I have absolutely no ill intentions, and I didn't do anything to harm her. I just wanted to ask her to treat my son. Master Mu, please persuade her to let my son go."
Su Liang sneered when he heard this, "General Wu said it so grandly, it sounded like I was ungrateful and making a fuss out of a molehill? You sent someone to seek medical treatment from me, and I never refused? I just said that I wouldn't go to see you. General Wu thinks so highly of me.
With my medical skills and my deep love for my son, why can't you take your son to Sujiacun to find me?"
Wu Yun looked ugly, "Huaian's body makes it difficult to go out."
"It sounds like your son is lying in bed and can't move and is about to die. But isn't he going out now? And he can stand without a wheelchair." Su Liang snorted coldly.
Wu Yun's face was as dark as water, "Miss Su, I have explained the whole matter to you clearly and apologized to you. You asked Lord Mu to come and take you back, and now he is here too. Whatever compensation you want, just ask
Till now, you are still willing to let my son go, what do you really want?"
"General Wu avoided answering my questions. How could Master Mu believe your words?" Su Liang had no intention of letting go of Wu Huaian, "Now, it's my turn."
"If you have anything to say, Miss Su, just say it. I will make the decision for you. But be careful not to accidentally hurt Mr. Wu!" Mu Luo said sternly.
"I saw it with my own eyes that Mr. Wu kidnapped me. After I woke up, I offered to treat Mr. Wu, but he refused. He said that even the famous doctors in the world could not do anything, so what could I do at such a young age?
The reason why I was arrested was that his loving father couldn't bear his loneliness and carefully selected beautiful women for his entertainment in Bei'an County. I was selected not because of my medical skills, but because of my appearance.
If you don't want to die, you have to obey him and let him control you." Su Liang's voice was clear and cold, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Wu Yun was furious. Several interruptions could not stop Su Liang from finishing his words. He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Chang An.
Wu Huaian was no longer conscious and was about to pass out. He heard Su Liang's words and moved his lips, but was unable to refute.
Mu Luo looked shocked, "Miss Su, are you accusing General Wu and Young Master Wu of robbing civilian girls?"
Su Liang said coldly, "Didn't General Wu admit this matter as soon as he opened his mouth? I am here, which is the most direct evidence! Since General Wu asked me to come to practice medicine, he explained it but I didn't listen.
So please tell Mr. Mu, how did you let Wu Huaian be alone in a room with me? Otherwise, how could I have the chance to hold him hostage and walk out?"
Mu Luo looked solemn and looked at the extremely angry Wu Yun, "General Wu, are you serious about what she said?"
"Nonsense! It's my fault that I brought her here! But nothing she said is true! She is slandering me, and she is also slandering Huaian! She is talking nonsense!" Wu Yun shouted angrily.
"Why did Mr. Wu fall into her hands?" Mu Luo asked coldly.
"That's because she pretended to treat Huaian. I believed her and listened to her request to leave her and Huaian in the room! But I didn't expect that as a doctor, she would be so careless and vicious!" Wu Yun blurted out.
If so, obviously the draft has already been prepared.
Mu Luo looked at Su Liang again, "You all insist on your own opinions, and I don't know who to believe. Why don't you let Mr. Wu go first? I guarantee that we will investigate thoroughly and uphold justice."
Chang'an was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that Mu Luo did this on purpose. He must favor Wu Yun and Wu Huaian on the surface, so that the next thing would be easy to handle.
Su Liang snorted, "General Wu said that I am making a fuss out of a molehill, and that's true. And the reason why I invited Mr. Mu here is because I want to ask Mr. Mu if he knows about the mysterious disappearance of several young girls in our Bei'an County in recent years?
"
Wu Huaian, who had not yet passed out, trembled obviously.
Wu Yun's face darkened severely!
Mu Luo was overjoyed, everything was going in the direction he wanted. He now believed that Su Liang was kidnapped by Wu Yun after he went to Chang'an last night and learned about the girl's disappearance.
But in fact, Su Liang knew that the girl's disappearance did not happen last night.
This matter is no secret in Bei'an County.
Liujia Village, next door to Sujia Village, lost a fifteen-year-old girl last year. The girl was somewhat related to Bai Xiaohu's grandma's family.
After Su Liang and Ning Jing changed from husband and wife to brother and sister, Bai Peng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, specifically told her about that incident and told her not to go out alone and to be careful of strangers.
Li Zheng Subai also specifically told Su Liang that the ones missing were the most beautiful girls in the village and she could easily be targeted.
At that time, Su Liang jokingly thanked Su Bai for the compliment, but Su Bai sternly warned him to take it seriously.
However, Liu, Su Bai and others who knew about the girl's disappearance all thought that there was a gang that abducted and trafficked girls in Bei'an County. Su Liang thought so when he first learned about it.
Until she was caught in Wu's house and met Wu Huaian.
Wu Huaian's behavior made Su Liang suspect that she was arrested because he wanted to play with women.
In this way, she thought of those mysteriously missing girls.
Human traffickers are not so clever in their methods, they leave no traces, and they are not so patient. It takes half a year to catch one.
But father and son Wu Yun and Wu Huaian have everything.
This reminded Su Liang of what he saw in the news in his last life: a foreign military officer with a high status, in order to satisfy his perverted desires, massacred women in the area around the station, but he was not killed by anyone for a long time.
Had doubts.
Who would doubt Wu Yun and Wu Huaian? A veteran general with great military exploits, and a young general who was disabled for the country, with high status and respect.
But if this kind of person has evil intentions and wants to do evil, he will only be more hidden and more heinous than those evil people on the surface.
Su Liang could have escaped without looking for Mu Luo, but she didn't intend to leave so easily.
Not only for her own future safety, but also for the girls who may have encountered unexpected events.
If the father and son are not killed, her surname will not be Su!
Mu Luo looked shocked, "I am investigating the unsolved cases of missing women."
"I have reason to suspect that those things were done by General Wu and Wu Huaian. I am a victim of their failure." Su Liang said, "Master Mu is here, so please search the Wu family.
Bar!"
Mu Luo looked at Wu Yun, "This... of course I don't believe that General Wu would do such a thing, but Su Liang is the one who suffered. If I didn't search, she would have poured this dirty water on General Wu.
It’s on my head.”
Wu Yun's expression changed again and again, "I've done it properly. If you haven't done it before, you haven't done it! If Master Mu wants to search, please do it!"
Mu Luo nodded, "Okay." After saying that, he glanced at Chang An.
Chang'an shouted loudly, and a moment later, a group of fully armed soldiers came on horseback, overwhelming the Wu family's people.
Wu Yun's hand shook. He thought Mu Luo only brought two followers...
Mu Luo explained, "Old General Wu, please don't worry too much. These soldiers were specially mobilized to rescue Mr. Wu after I learned that he was kidnapped. Now it's time to help with the search. If the search is completed early, Mr. Wu will be fine."
Already."
There were obvious beads of sweat on Wu Yun's forehead, and his face turned a little pale.
Su Liang was captured by Wu Yun on his own initiative. Neither she nor Mu Luo could have expected this.
But what happened next seemed to be a conspiracy between Su Liang and Mu Luo, but they had no chance to discuss it!
Before Mu Luo came, Su Liang didn't mention the girl's disappearance case at all, but now Wu Yun was caught off guard! He thought Mu Luo was here, and he explained that the matter would be settled, and it was impossible to let Mu Luo in. But
Things had developed to this point and were out of his control.
Mu Luo continued, "Please General Wu, please call all the people in the mansion first to avoid conflicts."
Wu Yun nodded subconsciously. He wanted to go in person, but it seemed strange, so he ordered the housekeeper.
"Chang'an, please bring someone to help." Mu Luo ordered.
The steward of Wu Mansion entered the door, followed by Chang An and a group of soldiers.
Not long after, servants came out of the house one after another.
While waiting, Mu Luo asked Su Liang to let Wu Huaian go, but Su Liang still refused.
Mu Luo comforted Wu Yun with a look of helplessness on his face, "Don't worry, Old General Wu, she will have nothing to say after the search."
Su Liang reminded Mu Luo, "Master Mu, please search carefully. Mr. Wu personally told me that he would take me to a good place tonight. I suspect that there is a secret passage in the Wu family."
Mu Luo nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I will investigate carefully and won't let you slander a meritorious official of Qianguo."
"Master, all the servants of the Wu family have come out," Chang An said.
"Okay. Let's start the search. Don't miss any place. Pay attention to whether there are any secret rooms. Otherwise, Miss Su will not give up." Mu Luo sighed, "But be careful not to damage the items in General Wu's house. My officer
You still have to compensate.”
"Yes!" Chang'an took the order, gave the order, and rushed into the Wu family with his elite soldiers.
These were no ordinary soldiers, but were brought by Mu Luo from the capital. And Chang'an knew exactly what the target of the search was.
Mu Luo did not go in, and there was a guard standing behind him.
Wu Huaian's wheelchair was next to him. Mu Luo asked Wu Yun, "I haven't been riding for a long time. I'm a little tired. Can I sit down for a while?"
Wu Yun nodded with a dark face.
Mu Luo sat in the wheelchair and chatted with Su Liang, "Master Ning must be very worried about your disappearance. Do you need me to send someone over to tell him that you are here?"
Su Liang shook his head, "No need."
In fact, she also felt strange. Ning Jing should have guessed that her accident was related to the Wu family. She thought Ning Jing would show up, but there was not even a shadow.
But Su Liang didn't expect Ning Jing to save her. The fact that she was drugged this time was a weakness that needed to be made up for in the future, and she could handle the rest.
"Do you know the consequences of slandering a court official?" Mu Luo asked.
Su Liang looked calm, "I am the master of the suffering, and General Wu and his son are indeed suspected. Otherwise, Master Mu would not have searched. How can it be called slander?"
Mu Luo sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so brave."
"There are many things that Master Mu didn't expect. For example, General Wu and his son are beasts with human faces and animal hearts." Su Liang snorted coldly.
Mu Luo shook his head and sighed, saying nothing.
It sounds like Su Liang was always the one who was aggressive, and Mu Luo always wanted to smooth things over, and Su Liang was the one who forced the search.
"Why is General Wu sweating? It's not hot today!" Su Liang looked serious.
Wu Yun kept his face solemn and said nothing.
Mu Luo carried Wu Yun on his back and gave Su Liang an appreciative look, thinking that she was really smart.
Su Liang never let go of Wu Huaian to ensure her safety and prevent Wu Yun from killing her.
For a veteran general, killing a civilian would not have serious consequences. All he had to do was make up an excuse, such as Su Liang wanted to kill his son. But when Mu Luo found out the dirty deeds behind the scenes, it was over.
Keeping Wu Huaian's life in check also ensures Mu Luo's safety. If Wu Yun jumps over the wall in a hurry, he might even take action against Mu Luo.
"Are you tired? Let Mr. Wu go?" Mu Luo expressed his intention to rescue Wu Huaian for the nth time.
Su Liang still had a cold face, "Don't let me go!"
She knew that Mu Luo was just acting for Wu Yun to see, so that the next thing would end well.
Now, the key lies in whether the other abducted girls, bodies, or iron ore smuggling ledgers can be found from the Wu family.
Any one of them can take down the Wu family and his son.
But if nothing is found, the Wu family and his son can easily get away with it based on Su Liang's accusation.
Su Liang believed that the Wu family must be hiding something shady. But seeing that Wu Yun seemed to have regained his composure, it might be difficult to find the secret room of the Wu family...
Just as she was thinking this, Chang An hurriedly walked out.
Mu Luo immediately stood up and went to meet him. After hearing Chang An whisper a few words in his ear, his expression changed, "Come here! Capture Wu Yun!"
Su Liang felt relieved, it seemed that he had really found something.
It was Mu Luo's secret guards who took action, the most powerful masters around him, to prevent Wu Yun from escaping.
Wu Yun naturally refused to be captured without mercy, but he led troops to guard the mine, and his family did not have many soldiers.
After a fight, Wu Yun was escorted to kneel in front of Mu Luo, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "No matter what you find, it's all framed!"
Mu Luo's face was as dark as water, "I have solved six mysterious cases of missing women in Bei'an County in the past three years. The evidence is conclusive. I will report to the emperor today!"
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince! Someone is framing me and Huaian! What happened today is all a conspiracy!" Wu Yun said in a deep voice. At this point, Mu Luo's identity had to be revealed.
Mu Luo snorted, "Last night, General Wu took drugs and took Ning Jing's adopted sister Su Liang, who was the head of the Bei'an County Courthouse, home last night. This is what you personally admitted, and you invited me here, in your home."
An unidentified woman was found in the secret room, bones were buried in the back garden, and there were obscene pictures drawn by Wu Huaian himself. You can argue and see if Father will believe you!"
When Wu Yun heard this, he fell to the ground, his face ashen as death.
Su Liang was very surprised. Normally, the shameless behavior of Wu Yun and Wu Huaian and his son should have been hidden deeply, otherwise Wu Yun would have run away long ago.
It didn't take long for Mu Luo's subordinates to find witness evidence scattered everywhere, as accurate as if the Wu family had an insider.
Su Liang didn't ask, but when Mu Luo looked over, he finally let go of the strings in his hand, and Wu Huaian fell to the ground.
"Can I leave?" Su Liang asked.
Mu Luo nodded, "I'll send someone to take you home."
"Thank you, Lord Mu." Su Liang said. She believed that Wu Yun and Wu Huaian and his son would not survive after Mu Luo took action, and the next thing would have nothing to do with her.
"Go and see Miss Su off." Mu Luo whispered to Chang'an, "See if Ningjing is at home."
Chang'an understood, found a carriage, and asked Su Liang to get on.
Mu Luo watched them leave, turned to look at the plaque of the Wu family, his eyes were cold, "Wu Yun, if there is anything else you need to do, please explain it as soon as possible, and maybe you can avoid the end of losing your descendants!"
…
Su Liang took a nap, the carriage stopped, and she had arrived home.
Chang'an went to knock on the door, and after a while Ningjing appeared at the door, cold and indifferent, still the same.
"Miss Su, please go back quickly, I'm leaving!" Changan glanced at Ningjing and drove away without asking anything.
Su Liang closed the door from the inside, looked at Ning Jing's back as he returned to his room, and frowned, "I'm missing, so you just stay at home and pretend nothing happened?"
She didn't feel that Ningjing had to save her, but should he be so indifferent? At least he was a friend, right? Without even asking a question?
Ning Jing turned around, looked at Su Liang, and said two words, "I'm here."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Where are you?"
"When you were cutting the strings in the Wu family, I was in the rockery next to you. After you took Wu Huaian out, I looked for the secret room and evidence in the Wu family." Ning Jing looked indifferent, "I came back secretly, faster than you by car.
,So, Changan saw me at home."
Su Liang suddenly realized, "No wonder they found the irrefutable evidence so quickly. You found it first and then deliberately exposed it for them to discover!"
"I said, before you leave, I will watch you." Ning Jing's eyes fell on Su Liang's finger that was injured by the string, and her beautiful brows frowned slightly.
The corners of Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, and she bowed and said, "Great God, please accept my worship."
