After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 114 Her true identity

   Soon, He Lingchuan escorted Fatty Wang into He Chunhua's temporary residence, where there were also two guards left by He Chunhua.

  The hostess of this room is also there, watching them trembling.

  He Lingchuan asked her: "The man in this room before was also a bandit?"

   "The child's father was killed, and the thief who killed a thousand swords pretended to be him to spy on you." The thief did more than this to her. The hostess burst into tears, "I beg the official to save our lives!"

  He Lingchuan sighed: "Go inside and lock the door behind you. This outside matter has nothing to do with you."

  The hostess nodded silently, turned and walked into the main house, and everyone heard the metal sound of locking the door.

  He Lingchuan put Fatty Wang and Mrs. Zhu in the kitchen, and the five of them guarded the doors and windows, all clenched their weapons tightly.

   Not long after, footsteps sounded outside.

  He Lingchuan listened carefully, there were a lot of people, and their steps were not in a hurry. It was obvious that the people who came over were very stable and did not panic.

   What's more, he also heard a small broken step.

   This is Mrs. Ying's steps.

  He opened the door at once and stood out.

   Sure enough, He Chunhua returned with his wife and children, followed by his guard Zhao Qinghe.

  The other person was Mo Zhe Jingxuan, whom He Lingchuan also recognized, and he was an aide brought back from Heishui City by his father.

  Everyone was startled when they saw He Lingchuan open the door. He Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief: "You are back, good, good!"

  Just now when there was a chaotic battle by the lake, he was worried about his eldest son who had never shown up.

   Then everyone entered the door, and the guards guarded around to ensure the safety of your lord.

   Mrs. Ying asked the eldest son: "Where did you go just now?"

"I prepared a gift for my father." He Lingchuan said, leading his father inside, pointing to Fatty Wang on the ground and said, "This fat man is a person next to Boss Lu, and his status is not low among the bandits. He stayed in Zhu I'm still worried that I won't be able to get it back, and it just so happened that there was a war by the lake..."

  Hearing that the fat man was someone close to Lu Han, He Chunhua loosened his brows that had been tightly locked all the time, patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder and said, "Good job!"

   "He has preliminarily confessed that the bandits occupied Qianteng Town the day before yesterday, and now they still have more than 200 accomplices in the town."

   "Accomplice?" He Chunhua frowned.

   "The interrogation was interrupted just now, I can still..."

  Before He Lingchuan finished speaking, He Chunhua interrupted: "No need. Leave it to me from now on."

  He sent someone to interrogate Fatty Wang, and Mrs. Zhu who was in the kitchen hurried out.

  In the small dining room, there are now six or seven people standing. She went straight to He Chunhua and knelt down with a plop:

   "Master He, save me!"

   This surprise, even He Chunhua was stunned.

   Mrs. Ying stepped forward to help the woman on the ground, and said softly, "Get up and talk."

   "My name is Zhu Xiuer, and I am the granddaughter of Zhu Xiyan, Minister of the Taipu Temple. Seven years ago, I was drugged away at the Huachao Temple Fair in Xin'an and sold to a wealthy businessman in Qianhai. Her jealous wife sold me here again in private."

  She rolled up her sleeves, and there were mottled old wounds on her thin arms, as if left by the whip rope: "I was chased after several escapes, leaving these. Other scars are in the dark, so it's inconvenient to show."

   Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a while.

After a while, He Chunhua said in a low voice: "Master Zhu lost his granddaughter seven or eight years ago, and searched for it for a long time without any results. This matter was widely circulated in the capital, and the Prime Minister of Xin'an County lost his official position because of it. However, how do you prove it? Zhu Xiuer?"

   This kind of "you have to prove that you are you" problem is the most worrying.

However, Zhu Xiu'er was clearly prepared. She turned around and pulled her hair back, showing everyone the mark on the back of her neck: "This red mark in the shape of lotus petals has been there since birth. The first time my grandfather saw it, he said that I will grow up Like lotus orchids; my grandfather was fond of wine and always warmed it under the cooling rack in the backyard."

  She paused: "I can tell you everything about my childhood, and everything can be corroborated."

   Seeing her fluent response and clear conscience, the staff said to He Chunhua: "My lord, it is very easy to verify this matter."

  He Chunhua also nodded: "Okay, you will walk with us."

  Master Zhu was overjoyed, and bowed deeply: "Thank you, sir!"

   "You have helped us a lot, and we must thank you." He Chunhua waved his hand, "Otherwise, the bandits are still plotting against us secretly."

  He glanced at Mrs. Ying, who understood, stepped forward to take Zhu's hand, and talked while pulling it away.

  Hearing that her husband and mother-in-law were killed, and her two children were taken hostage by bandits, Mrs. Ying sighed: "These scoundrels should all be brought to justice."

  He Lingchuan took out a green apple and gnawed on it: "Fa-rectification? Fa-rectification doesn't care about these things, only the wicked grind the wicked."

   Ouch, why are the apples in the mountains so sour? He clutched his cheeks, feeling like his teeth were knocked down.

   Mrs. Ying gave him a glare.

  Consolation, this is comfort, what does the brat know?

  ￥￥￥￥￥￥

  After the bosses on both sides nodded, the officers and soldiers and the defeated army quickly retreated to their respective boundaries. The former occupied the east of the village, and the latter occupied the west of the village.

  Actually, He Chunhua wanted the other party to release the residents in the west of the village safely, but Lu Yao was not stupid. He knew that these were good hostages, so he refused to agree to anything.

  Hearing the news, the villagers in the west cried loudly.

  Lu Yao didn't care about it at first, but the loud crying disturbed him, so he waved his hand: "Tell them to shut up, or they will cut their mouths and drink."

  He used to do this before, but now the officers and soldiers are on the opposite side, it's too exciting.

   Speaking of which, he looked left and right: "Where's the dead fat man?" He usually didn't need to make a sound about such troublesome things, and Wang Fatty was the first to rush out to settle it.

  Of course he can't see the fat man.

   Several gangsters were setting fire to grill fish, Lu Yao took a sip of wine. Although he had just had a fight, he was in a pretty good mood.

  In the past, I was always worried that these unreliable subordinates would show their feet and be found out by the officers and soldiers;

  A close relative persuaded: "General, drink less wine, in case they attack at night."

  Lu Yao snorted and laughed: "They? Invasion? Don't flatter that dog official too much!"

He wiped his mouth: "Master Guan went to Xiazhou to take office. These three hundred people are his entire team, just like you are to me. Without these direct descendants, he is not familiar with the place in Xiazhou and has nothing to do. It’s easy! Not to mention half of the death, even if it’s only a 30% loss, he can’t afford it! Tell me, is he thinking about getting on the road earlier in the morning, or sneak attacking us at night?”

"Of course I want to escape earlier." The other flattered, "The dog officer's knowledge and courage are far behind our general's. Besides, he is a passing officer, why is he meddling in local affairs? Just tell him that he will be safe tomorrow morning. Part ways, he will definitely not do anything at night!"

  Lu Yao squinted his eyes and put down his wine glass: "Be on guard after the fourth watch, we can't let them run away. By the way, where did you say Wu Shaoyi and Pei Xinyong's team went?"
