Flowers are expensive

Chapter 208 The Death of Ma Liu 2
"Assassin... gang? Sure enough..." Lihua couldn't help but nodded her head in surprise.It seems that her guess is correct, the master is indeed a killer, and his status should not be low.She asked curiously: "Is it true that everyone in Qingyue Hall is surnamed Qing?" "No, only the main family of Qingyue Hall has the surname Qing." "Then... have you ever heard of a person named Qing Yi? "

"Qing Yi? How does my aunt know about him? He is the young hall master of Qingyue Hall, and there is a ranked killer in Jianghu."

"Sure enough..." Lihua stuck out her tongue and laughed, "The master even coaxed me that he was in business, so he is really a killer."

"Auntie knows Qingyi?"

"We know the brothers and sisters. Speaking of which, Qing Yi helped me!"

"Helped you? Does the master know?"

"I mentioned it to him, but he didn't tell me that Qingyi will belong to Qingyuetang."

"Maybe the master doesn't want you to know too many things about Jianghu, so I didn't tell you! But, auntie, I want to remind you that our Jingyou City and Qingyue Hall are deadly enemies. They sent people to assassinate the master several times, but they never succeeded."

"Really? Why..." Lihua thought for a while and then waved her hands and said, "It's okay, I'd better not inquire about your things, I don't understand anyway! But I'm curious, why did the people in Qingyuetang Want to kill Ma Liu?"

"This is also where I find it strange. Logically speaking, Qingyuetang takes over orders with expensive bids. Generally speaking, what they want to kill are people with some background, definitely not a little-known little guy like Ma Liu. We can only wait and see what happens!"

"Oh my God!" Lihua pouted with her face in her hands, "Ma Liu really must be dead? I saw him walking around the village a few days ago, and he suddenly died like this? Thinking about it makes me feel horrible! I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight! "

"Auntie, don't think too much..." Before Que Ling could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.Lihua got up and opened the door to see that it was Hongling.Hong Ling put on a coat, held her belly and said worriedly: "Ewha, Haitang hasn't come back so late, I'm a little worried, I don't know where he went." "Have you not come back yet?" Lihua asked .

"No! I don't usually come back so late. I want to go to Yutao's house to see if he is drinking there." Lihua suddenly remembered the matter of Ma Liu, and hurriedly said: "It's so dark, you have a big belly How to get there? Don't go, just wait a little longer, he will be fine at his age."

"But I'm worried, he's never been back so late before."

"Maybe it's because I drank too much with Brother Cailuo. They are really busy these days, and they should drink and chat. Don't worry too much. If you are worried, I will ask Que Ling to go to Deng's house for you to take a look." .”

"Que Ling?" Hong Ling glanced at the petite Que Ling and shook her head, "Isn't it good? It's not appropriate for a girl in Que Ling to go out so late at home..." While speaking, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.Lihua hurriedly ran over to open the door and saw that it was indeed a crabapple.She could tell at a glance that Haitang's complexion was very bad, and her eyes were dark. When she saw the three of them, she showed a perfunctory smile and asked, "Why are you all standing in the yard? Are you still asleep?"

"You haven't come back, how can sister Hongling sleep?" Lihua laughed.

Hongling stepped forward quickly, and asked anxiously: "Where have you been? Why did you come back at this hour?" Haitang squeezed out a few smiles and said, "I talked to Cairo about something, and we had a lively chat. I've forgotten the time. Don't stand in the yard anymore, be careful of catching a cold, I'll help you go back!" After Haitang helped Hong Ling back to the room, Que Ling glanced at his back and said to Lihua: "Cao Haitang is a little bit Something's wrong, come back so late, don't you already know about Ma Liu's death?"

"Anyway, he didn't kill the man, so there is nothing to worry about. By the way, Que Ling, you can't let those two people from Qingyue Hall leave, otherwise Ma Liu's death will be unclear."

"I see, Auntie. I haven't seen many people who escaped the siege of Jingyou City and escaped unscathed. Auntie, don't worry, go to sleep." Afterwards, the two also entered the room, turned on the light and went to sleep .

In the early morning of the next day, the news of Ma Liu's death blew through every corner of the village like the first morning breeze.Such things rarely happen in the village. What happened with Cao Chu last time was already a sensation, and what happened with Ma Liu this time made people even more disturbed!Early in the morning, all the villagers rushed to the farm and surrounded the backyard with three floors inside and three floors outside, which was extremely lively.Grandma Yun's cry was so miserable that she could hear it from afar.

"It must be you, a shrew, who hurt him! It must be!" Grandma Yun cried, pointing at Mrs. Cao who was kneeling at the door and wiping her tears, "You are so heartless! How can Ma Liu feel sorry for you? You How dare you make such a cruel move!"

At this moment, Cao's face was ashen, and his expression was particularly haggard, his hands were tightly grasping the skirt on his knees, and his purple lips were tightly closed without saying a word.Ma Liu's body was already flat on the bed.Seeing him, Cao immediately remembered the horrifying scene last night!Because Ma Liufei wanted to threaten Cao with Haitang beating him, Cao had no choice but to accept the divorce letter.But what Cao Shi couldn't let go of was his son Xiang'er, so he went to Ma Liu's room to beg him last night.

But Ma Liu was really hard-hearted towards Mrs. Cao, and didn't listen to her pleading at all, and even yelled at her for having contacts with others.She couldn't help being angry, thinking of her own hard work and Ma Liu's ruthlessness these years, she was really too angry, so she picked up the wooden stick beside the bed.

Ma Liu was afraid that the Cao family would come to make trouble again, so he put the anti-thief stick by the bedside.At that time, Mrs. Cao was so angry that she grabbed the wooden stick and hit Ma Liu!Ma Liu was injured, and after a few arguments with Cao, he rolled down from the bed.Cao hit him on the back a few more times, and said in his mouth: "You are too cruel! You are too cruel! You don't care about the relationship between husband and wife for many years! You..."

Just when Cao was about to strike again, she was completely terrified by the situation in front of her!Ma Liu, who was still struggling with her just now, actually fell beside the bed, with a lot of bright red blood pouring out of his mouth, he closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he had died!
Cao Shi was stunned for a moment, and froze on the spot holding the stick in his hand, so frightened that he lost his soul!She shouted tremblingly: "Ma Liu? Ma Liu? Are you really...really dead?"

Ma Liu didn't respond, just sat there like a wooden stake.Suddenly, someone behind him pushed open the door.She was so frightened that she was dizzy, raised the wooden stick and hit the person who came!The person who came was Haitang, who was hit by a stick unexpectedly, his forehead was cut immediately, and a few traces of blood gushed out.

"Haitang...why is it you?" Cao Shi asked in a panic.

"Sister," Haitang asked, lowering his head and covering his forehead, "what's the matter with you? Do you beat anyone you see? Are there bandits in the house?"

"Haitang!" Cao threw down his stick and grabbed Haitang's arm tightly, crying, "I...I beat Ma Liu to death!"

"What?" Haitang hurriedly put down his hand and looked forward, he was startled, and hurried forward to feel Ma Liu's pulse, he was already out of breath!
"Is...is he dead?" Cao asked timidly standing behind Haitang.

Haitang nodded heavily, and said, "He's dead, he's out of breath!"

"My God! It was me..." Cao almost fainted, and sat down on the stool, rubbing her heart and muttering, "It was me... I killed him..."

"Sister, how could you..."

"Don't ask! I'm so angry! He refuses to let Xiang'er follow me. Isn't that killing me?" Cao said in a trembling voice.She raised her tearful eyes and asked Haitang: "Haitang, what should I do? What should I do? I don't want to be caught in the prison. What should I do if I leave?"

Haitang was also a little panicked, he was very angry when he heard his mother say that Ma Liu was going to divorce the Cao family during the day, so he came to Ma Liu to settle the score at night when work was over.Unexpectedly, when he entered the room, he saw this scene.

Before Haitang could think of a way, Cao suddenly passed out.When Cao Shi woke up, she was already in Xiang'er's room.Haitang was sitting next to her with a serious expression on his face.When she was about to get up, Haitang stopped her and said: "Sister, you are weak, rest!" "How can I rest? Ma Liu... Ma Liu is still over there..." "Leave it alone! "Haitang said in a low voice, "Just pretend that what happened tonight never happened!" "Is it possible?" Cao asked guiltily.

"Okay! Sister, remember! No one saw you beat Ma Liu to death! Don't be afraid to show your feet first, you understand?"

Cao bit her lower lip, shook her head desperately and said, "But...but I really killed him! Haitang, I'm terrified! If something happens to me, what will Xianger do?" "Then you You should keep yourself steady!" Haitang held her hand tightly and said, "Sister, for the sake of Xiang'er, you must stay calm! Only you and I know about this, and no one else will see it. It can’t be said that you did it.”

Cao closed her eyes in pain, and a tear flowed down her face.She nodded and said, "Okay! I'll stabilize myself... I just pretend that nothing happened!" "Stop crying, and be careful not to wake up Xiang'er! I'm leaving first, don't worry about Maliu. Pay attention to it again, do you hear me?"

"I heard!"

Haitang then left, but Cao Shi spent another night in anxiety.When Maliu was discovered the next morning, she suppressed the panic and fear in her heart, came out and cried, pretending to be decent.

"Damn woman! Smelly woman! Speak up! Why are you silent?" Grandma Yun's scolding brought Cao's thoughts back.Cao shi lowered her head guiltily and wiped away her tears.Grandma Yun continued to point at her and scolded: "Could it be that you really have an adulterer? Could it be that your partnership killed Ma Liu last night?" Mrs. Cao hurriedly raised her head and argued, "Your old man is too You have wronged me! If I really have a good friend, Ma Liu divorced me, wouldn’t it just be a fulfillment for us? Why would I kill him again? I’m going to fly away from my good friend!”

"Then tell me, there was such a big commotion last night that no one else heard it, and you and Xiang'er were next door, didn't you hear it?" Cao's heart tightened, and she shook her head again and again, "No! Me and Xiang'er All my sons were asleep, and I didn't hear anything at all!"

"Hmph! Who are you kidding? I don't believe it! Report to the official! Report to the official immediately!" Grandma Yun shouted excitedly.

As soon as Cao heard the words of the reporter, she almost fainted from fright, and knelt down with her hands on her knees.Next to Dongxiang interjected: "When such a big incident happened, the reporter was appointed to report it. But what should we do about the matter in the village? The people in this village have to eat and work, and there is no manager to arrange it. Isn't that right?" Getting messed up?"

"That's right, that's right!" Sister Xiao hurriedly echoed, "If there is no one in charge, I'm afraid it's inappropriate! Housekeeper, what do you think?" "She's a fart housekeeper!" Ma Liu had already divorced her! "Grandma Yun pointed at Cao Shi angrily and cursed.

"But no matter what, she is still the housekeeper, isn't she? Once Ma Liu died, she had to talk..."
