Flowers are expensive

Chapter 227 Cheng Yaojin Suddenly Killed

"You don't have to ask, I'm sure you haven't come back, otherwise what are you hanging those three people from the tree for?"

Mo Xiang was so strange, she stared at Yi Sheng and asked, "What does this have to do with Fourth Aunt's disappearance?"

"I can't say anything for the time being, I just think it's a bit weird here. Think about it, if your fourth aunt really comes back, can she not come out to watch the fun with her personality? Besides, since the two girls are wanted by the court, don't you?" Immediately escort him to Beijing, what are you doing so ostentatiously here? Maybe he just wants to attract attention!"

"Could it be..."

"Don't talk about it," Yi Sheng shook his head gently while holding Mo Xiang's hand, "We can't handle this matter, your fourth aunt was rescued by someone, so go back first."

Not long after the two had left, they suddenly heard Mei Xiang's voice coming from the front.It turned out that Gao Sangu heard the news and Mei Xiang came to have a look. On the way, she heard the people who had just returned saying that the Cao family had colluded with the court's criminals, and they might even lose their lives. She was so frightened that she fainted immediately.When Mei Xiang was at a loss, Mo Xiang walked up quickly, took out the incense bag from the small cloth bag and put it next to Aunt Gao San's nose.

Not long after, the soul of Gao Sangu wandered back again.She opened her eyes, grabbed Mo Xiang's hand beside her in shock and asked, "Why am I here?"

Mo Xiang put away the incense bag and said, "Third Gu, you fainted just now."

"Where's my plum branch?"

Mo Xiang glanced at the flower field, sighed lightly and said, "It's still hanging there!"

The third aunt's complexion turned pale, and she had long since lost the arrogance and domineering miraculousness of the past. She sobbed in her throat, patted her thigh heavily, and cried to Moxiang, "What kind of thing is this? How dare my Meizhi go against the court?" How about it? Isn’t that an ant competing with an elephant? It’s really unfair! Moxiang, Moxiang, tell your fourth uncle, my Meizhi is not so courageous! The head here must be sure What a misunderstanding!"

"Third Aunt, I have nothing to do with this matter..."

"But it's your fourth uncle after all, you can help me to talk about it!" Gao Sangu actually lowered her figure and begged Moxiang, "We are also from the same village after all, we are fellow villagers even if we are not of the same clan! Our Cao family You are the most honest person on weekdays, how dare you make trouble with the court! Hey, hey, hey, what a big injustice! Mo Xiang, you go talk to your fourth uncle, okay? Let my plum branch go first ,Okay?"

Mo Xiang is really in a dilemma, it's not her turn to take care of this matter.Yi Sheng bent down and pulled Mo Xiang up and said to Aunt Gao San: "You should go and tell the people over there yourself, we'll go first."

"I'm going? I'm afraid that if I go, your fourth uncle will arrest me too! Yi Sheng, you are a master after all, you can think of a way for Sangu, okay?"

Yi Sheng shook his head lightly and said, "You've flattered me. I'm just a jury, how can I get in trouble with the court? According to your words, it's the praying mantis blocking the car."

"Hey, Yisheng..."

"Don't beg him!" Mei Xiang grabbed Third Aunt Gao's arm, stared at Yi Sheng with unconvinced eyes and said, "Mother, he is just a juror, not even an official, what kind of court affairs can he be in charge of? People look down on our Cao family and don't like to talk to each other, can't you see it?"

Without saying a word, Yi Sheng pulled Mo Xiang along and left.Mei Xiang's mouth was crooked, and she stomped her feet and muttered to the backs of the two: "What are you proud of! Do you really think you are the master and wife?"

"Okay!" Gao Sangu patted Mei Xiang and said, "What time are you still scolding Yi Sheng? I still expect him to help me ask your sister what's going on. You're fine, just say a word." Drive people away!"

"Is there any need to ask? They are all hanging there, I'm afraid they will be beheaded!"

"Beheading?" Third Aunt Gao touched her neck involuntarily, and said with a shudder, "You won't be so cruel, right? Mei Xiang, if your sister is really beheaded, then... ouch, don't dare to go there Think about it! What should we do now? We are going, should we be arrested as accomplices?"

"Mother, how about..." Mei Xiang rolled her eyes twice and said, "How about we hide in the town too?"

"Not so good? Your sister is still hanging there..."

"Then you still want to take advantage of the night to save her and come back? Are you capable? We can decide whether she lives or dies in the future! In case something happens to us and we are all pissed off, where are we going?" hide?"

Aunt Gao San nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I am also worried about this! Your sister is really serious, where did you get into such a mess! You even got involved with the court's important criminals, it doesn't take long for the whole family to Is it because we are cruel, right? At least we have to save our lives first, and then we can give her food in prison! Yes, yes, Mei Xiang, you are right, we really should hide at this juncture If our Cao family is involved in this matter, it will be wronged, you are still an unmarried girl! Oh oh oh... and there are... and Xiang'er! Meizhi definitely doesn't want to watch Xiang'er is also implicated, right? We have to take care of Xiang'er, right? Yes, yes, let's do it!" She kept bowing her head and talking to herself, making many excuses for herself before convincing herself to agree with Mei Xiang. My idea - pack up your things and hide in the town.

Then Aunt Gao asked Mei Xiang to go to the village to find Xiang'er, and then went home to pack her things.But when Mei Xiang came back from the village panting, she heard her mother's hoarse wailing from her sister's room before she had time to say that Xiang'er was not at the village:

"That short-lived one!"

Mei Xiang's heart tightened, and she rushed into Cao's house, only to see that several boxes and cages by the corner were opened, and the ground was in a mess, clothes and other things were all scattered on the ground, as if they had just been robbed by bandits!She asked in astonishment: "Mother, what... what's going on?"

Aunt Gao said angrily, "Who else? Who else? There is no one else in this village except your drunkard father! That short-lived man pried it away while we were not at home. Meizhi's cage, took away all the valuables!"

"What?" Mei Xiang was so frightened that she sat down on the ground, her legs were trembling!Everything is gone?All the valuables were taken away by her father?She originally had a small calculation in her heart, but who knew that her father was one step ahead of her!This is over, nothing!

"I'm not alive! I'm not alive! That short-lived person is my nemesis in this life! He is more cruel than a thief! He didn't leave a single piece of silver, and all the things that Meizhi had accumulated in the past few years were taken away by him. Sooner or later It's a sacrifice to the God of Dionysus!" Gao Sangu cried and cursed playfully.

The people around heard the movement of Cao's family, and they only thought that the mother and daughter were sad for Cao's, and no one paid attention to her family's affairs.

The night gradually deepened, and Zique Village was shrouded in a quiet and peaceful night.The three people hanging from the sycamore tree shivered in the cold wind like three dried fish.Qing Ya'er remained silent, hanging there in a daze.At the gate of the courtyard not far away, Yuan Yin and Yan Amber stood there, watching the movement of the three of them quietly.

Yan Amber asked: "Master, will Qing Yi come tonight?"

Yuan Yin glanced at the distant night, and said with a stern smile on the corner of his mouth, "He will come."

"In case he doesn't show up..."

"No chance," Yuan Yin said indifferently, "he didn't dare to touch the bargaining chip in his hand, but I was able to kill these three people in the blink of an eye. I think he will weigh it of."

"I don't know where he is hiding now, master, do you want to send someone to investigate?"

"No need, he will show up. He should know better than me how long his own sister can last, just wait!" Yuan Yin turned and entered the yard after speaking.

At this moment, a dark figure suddenly slipped into the already quiet farm, and quickly got into one of the warehouses in the backyard.This person is none other than Qing Yi!He went out to inquire about Qing Ya'er and the others just now, he didn't dare to act rashly, so he could only go back to this temporary shelter.

After Qing Yi slipped into the warehouse, he moved a cabinet, a narrow door was exposed behind the cabinet, he bent down and walked in.

"Come back alive?" Ewha's voice came from a chair in the door.

"If I don't come back alive, you will starve to death here," Qing Yi said with a smile to Lihua, "Are you awake? I'm sorry, in order to prevent you from escaping, I had to temporarily tie your hands and feet to the chair."

Lihua blinked her eyes, and asked with a smile: "Can you let me go first? I'm tied up like a crab, and my hands are numb. You are a master, can I still run under your nose?"

Qing Yi suppressed her smile, sat down on the chair next to Li Hua and said, "Your hands are just numb, do you know what Zhao Yuanyin did to lure me out?"

"What did you do?"

"He hung Cao Meizhi, my sister, and Qiao Yuan upside down on the sycamore tree over the flower field. It has been several hours."

Lihua was taken aback, and asked, "Why did our Yuanyin arrest Qing Ya'er? Is she also in the village?"

"I came to Zique Village just to find her," Qing Yi said with a light sigh, "That little girl is so brave, otherwise why would she be caught by Zhao Yuanyin?"

Lihua immediately smiled and bent her eyebrows, leaned over and said, "It's easy to save Qingya'er! Put me back and make sure she's fine! Why did our family Yuanyin hang her? Isn't that just to let you let me go?" Is it? This is a good deal, if you exchange one of mine for three, you won’t suffer, master!”

Qing Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Hua, saying: "You really are a couple!" Li Hua pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, when you marry a daughter-in-law in the future, you will understand the truth! Let me go, how?"

Qing Yi shook his head solemnly.Lihua asked puzzledly: "Why, master? If you continue to tie me up, it won't be me who suffers, but the three who are hanging, don't you understand?"

"If I let you go back, can Zhao Yuanyin really let Qing Ya'er and the others go? You are too naive, Lihua."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't believe that Zhao Yuanyin will easily let go of this opportunity to deal with me and Qing Ya'er. Although you don't know the grievances and grievances between us, you should know the fact that I want to kill him, and he also wants to destroy our Qingyue Hall Right? As I said earlier, you think Zhao Yuanyin is too simple. If I really let you go back, there is no guarantee that he will not make a secret move. At that time, he may not only be unable to save Qing Yaer and the others, but even mine. I have to risk my life. I am not afraid of death, I am afraid that death is not worth it."

Lihua frowned slightly and thought about it, then nodded and said: "I understand, you have been against each other for so long, it is impossible for you to trust him all of a sudden. But master, do you trust me?"

Qing Yi turned to stare at Li Hua, hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "I believe!"

"Well, you don't have to trust your enemy, you can just trust me. If you let me go back this time and he refuses to let you leave Zique Mountain, then I won't talk to him anymore!" Li Hua Said sincerely.

"Really?" Qingyi's little heart was a little excited. He didn't expect that Lihua would say such a thing, which made him a little moved for a while, and he was a little hopeful...but his hope was quickly taken over by Lihua. The words are drowned out:

"Your grievances are too complicated, and I can't figure out who is right, but I always regard you as a friend, so I don't want to see you die, and I don't want our Yuanyin to kill someone because of me."

"Friend? Is that all?" Qing Yi's sense of disappointment welled up spontaneously.

"That's right, from the very beginning I regarded you as a friend, a buddy who can talk and chat. Don't you think our personalities have many similarities?" Lihua smiled, "If I were a man, I would be willing to talk to you. You swore."
