Chapter 68 Entering the City to Question

Shanzi and Xu Xinger returned to Xishan Aozi and went straight to Xu Laosan's house. Yao'er's mother greeted them into the house and said, "Your master hasn't come back today. Come in first."

"Third aunt, Xing'er will come and borrow it for one night tonight. You can pack her bags." Shanzi put down his basket and didn't say anything about it.

"Okay, okay, I'll clean it up." Yao'er's mother looked happy when she heard the words and said, "Since I have worshipped my master, I should come home more when I have time in the future."

Xu Xinger nodded and answered, followed the house to help lay the bedding, and then came out to help the medicine mother make a fire and cook, but she kept thinking about what was going on at home now.

Shanzi went home to say hello and ran back to accompany Xu Xinger. Although he didn't say anything, he kept fighting behind her and occasionally chatted with her to distract her.

When dinner was almost ready, Wu Laosan arrived home. When he entered the door and saw Xu Xinger, he was not surprised or strange at all. Instead, he looked at Shanzi with some satisfaction and then said, "I generally know everything. Let's eat first. Let's talk about anything after dinner."

When eating, several people were silent and were calculating their own affairs. Yao'er's mother did not say anything and silently picked up vegetables for Xu Xing'er. Only Yao'er was very excited. She kept looking at Xu Xing's smile and twisted her buttocks on the kang, and she couldn't sit still.

After dinner, Xu Xinger helped Yao'er clean up the dishes and chopsticks. Wu Laosan said something to Shanzi in the room, but their voices were very low, and they could only faintly hear the sound in the stove, but they couldn't hear what they were saying.

The medicine mother washed the dishes, wiped her hands and said to Xu Xinger, "No matter what happens, let's discuss and solve it. Don't worry."

"Thank you, Madam." Only then did Xu Xinger know that this quiet woman had long seen through her pretended calmness and lowered her head with some embarrassment.

"I'll take the medicine to her second uncle's house for a while. Just tell your master." After saying that, Yao'er said hello and went out, naturally to leave them room to talk quietly.

Yaoer was a little reluctant. Although she followed her out, she kept looking back at Xu Xinger with a high mouth.

I don't know what Yao'er said outside, so she became happy again and picked up the door frame and said, "Sister Xing'er, wait for me to come back to play with you."

The two people in the room were still whispering. Xu Xinger didn't go in and found a job for herself in the stove. Until she wiped the stove for the third time, she heard Shanzi suddenly raising his voice and shouting, "Is Rong Haoxuan a dead person? He knows best what's going on. Doesn't he come out to say a word?

Hearing this, Xu Xinger finally couldn't help pushing the door into the room and asked, "Master, what's going on today? Why did the official come to my house to find me?"

Wu Laosan raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows. He leaned back on the back of the chair and said, "After I heard about it in the afternoon, I went to inquire about the news. Rong Haoxuan fell ill the night he went back. He had been suffering from fever and couldn't sleep. The Rong family and the official found the person who robbed him in the mountain. When they went back to torture and learned that it was from your village, the Rong family felt that You are also involved in this matter, so the official will come to take you back to ask questions.

"So that's it." Xu Xinger sat on the edge of the kang, looked up at Wu Laosan and asked, "Is that man really Hong Xiang?"

"Well, the Hong couple have been taken to the county government for questioning." Wu Laosan nodded and said with his eyebrows, "The generation of the Rong family, Rong Haoxuan is such a unique seed, and the whole family is holding it like an ancestor. Now that such a big thing has happened, it will definitely not be lightly let go, and related people must be involved. Xinger, in my opinion, you are still hiding here for two days. After Rong Haoxuan wakes up, I will accompany you into the city, which will be much safer.

Xu Xinger was so worried that she asked, "If they can't find me, will they do anything to my parents?"

"That's not enough. I still have some friendship with the catcher in the government. I have already said hello to him today. Don't worry." Wu Laosan comforted Xu Xinger and said, "In fact, even if you are taken away now, nothing will happen, but it's better to stay in my house for a few days."

Shanzi continued, "Don't worry too much. I'll go to your house tomorrow and send a message to your parents."

Wu Laosan slapped Shanzi on the back of the head, "You stupid boy, I'm afraid that others won't know that Xing'er is in our house, right? The person was picked up from our house that day. Do you think the Rong family only suspects that Xing'er will not doubt our family? It's just that it's not easy to move our house without evidence. You're still in a hurry to give others a handle.

Shanzi's face turned black when he heard the words and snorted coldly, "I knew that the Rong family was not a good thing. I shouldn't save him that day. At that time, I will see where the Rong family will find someone."

"Oil, you can also show off your ability. If you meet it, can you leave it alone?" Wu Laosan directly exposed Shanzi's hard and soft mouth, got up and stretched out and said, "Ok, don't be sad. What's the big deal!"

Seeing Wu Laosan's words relaxed, Xu Xinger relaxed a lot and played with the medicine for a while at night, but fell asleep without thinking too much.

Early in the morning, as soon as Xu Xing'er helped the medicine mother put on fire and prepare to cook porridge, there was a rapid pat on the door outside the door. A thick and hoarse voice raised his voice, "Is it Wu Laosan's family? Open the door!"

The village in the early morning was still very quiet, and the sound of patting the door was loud and urgent. A note seemed to be patting in her heart, which made Xu Xinger couldn't help panic.

Wu Laosan came out and asked, "Who is it, early in the morning?"

"Is Xu Xinger at your house? We're going to take her back to ask questions."

"Oh, the magistrate's uncle!" Wu Laosan knew that it was impossible not to open the door, and since he was blocked at home, it was no good to hide it now. His men lingered and said, "Which uncle is the leader today? Speaking of which, my relationship with you Litou is not bad. Yesterday, I went to the city to do business, and I happened to meet him... Don't worry, I Just open the door..."

"Master Wu, Li also often tells us that he was injured in the mountains. Thanks to you saved his life, he also told his brothers not to play tricks on you and be respectful." The tone of the man outside was quite gentle, "But please forgive me. After all, we are on official business, and we will inevitably be offended."

Wu Laosan slowly removed the door and opened the door of the courtyard and said, "What's the name of this master?" I arrived so early. I think I'll leave before dawn. Come in and have a bite and drink some water.

"You're welcome, just call me Xiaoqian." The leader came in the person who just patted the door and talked. He was five or three thick, with a beard on his face, and looked a little fierce.

Seeing this, Yao Er quickly hid behind her mother and couldn't help leaning out to look at her.

Xu Xinger put down her things and stepped forward and said, "Lord Qian, what can I do for you?"

"It's about the young master of the Rong family being tied up. You don't have to be afraid to ask. Just go and tell the truth about what happened." Qian Yu looked at Xu Xinger from head to toe twice. He didn't seem to believe that she was the person she was looking for. He frowned and asked, "Are you the third daughter of the Xu family in Xingyuan Village, Xu Xing'er?"

"Yes." Xu Xinger nodded.

Wu Laosan hurriedly said, "This child is my apprentice. He followed my family to the mountain yesterday and came back too late and stayed at my house all night."

Qian Yushi nodded to Wu Laosan and said, "Since he is the apprentice of Third Master Wu, it must not be wrong, and we will not bully children. However, since the matter has happened and the Rong family is also filed in the government, we must ask the matter clearly. It is not only an explanation to the Rong family, but also responsible for Xu Xing'er."

"This is natural." Wu Laosan wink at his daughter-in and pulled Qian Ya in. "You go into the room and sit for a while and come all the way here. You must not have had breakfast yet. The house is ready-made. Eat some before you go, so as not to have food in your stomach and you don't have the strength to drive away later."

Yao'er's face turned a little pale, but she still showed a smiling face and followed Wu Laosan's words and said, "Yes, several uncles eat something before leaving. Xing'er is still a child and hasn't had breakfast yet. If she can't walk halfway for a while, wouldn't she cause trouble for him?"

Qian Ya was originally going to refuse, but after listening to Yao's mother's words, he also felt reasonable. Several of them came from Xingyuan Village early in the morning, which was quite close. However, since they found Xu Xinger, they had to go back to the city directly from here. Looking at Xu Xinger's thin arms and legs, I'm afraid they would have to walk to noon. If she is too hungry to walk halfway, can't she find someone to carry her on her back?

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Then we will disturb Third Master Wu."

Although Xu Xinger dared to speak just now, she was actually very uncertain. She just thought that since she had come to the door, she could not implict the Wu family in any case. At this moment, she watched several servants go into the room and sit down to drink water, and her heart tightened. The pictures of beating boards and splints were put in her mind one by one. Like a movie, people stood in the courtyard and couldn't move, and their faces turned pale.

Seeing this, Yao'er mother came over quickly, stretched out her hand to walk into the room, and comforted her, "Xing'er is not afraid. Your master will accompany you to the city."

Xu Xinger then nodded with a stiff neck. As the medicine mother entered the room, she picked up the rice bowl and picked it into her mouth randomly. She didn't know what she had eaten and swallowed it like wax.

As soon as he had dinner, Qian Yashi urged him to go out. Wu Laosan made a few words to Yao's mother and accompanied Xu Xinger to the city with the official.
