Xu Qingmo smiled, with a somewhat cold look in his eyes: "A fish that slipped through the net? As long as you are willing, how could there be so many fish that slipped through the net in this world? Can he escape better than others or the sky?"
Meng Hetong was silent. He didn't know how to answer the question he asked, so he just remained silent.
It was already late at night when everyone returned to the mansion.
After receiving the news, Marquis Ningyuan and Mrs. Xu didn't fall asleep, so they simply got up and waited for their return in the yard.
When Xu Qingmo and Xu Yanquan walked into the courtyard, they were both very tired. Madam Xu saw this and felt heartbroken.
But Marquis Ning Yuan still looked serious: "What's wrong?"
"If there are still people alive, all the living people have been sent to take care of them, and the dead have been placed in Yizhuang. News will be released tomorrow to let their families come and claim the bodies." Xu Yanquan said softly.
"Have you sent someone to guard Yizhuang?" Marquis Ning Yuan frowned slightly.
"I was worried that the people behind the scenes would come to destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, so I asked Maidong to guard there personally!" Xu Yanquan sighed, "Father, I have never thought that there are places more cruel than the battlefield."
Marquis Ningyuan was silent for a long time, then patted Xu Yanquan on the shoulder: "People die for money, and birds die for food. This is human nature. In the future, you will slowly see more and more. What we can do is to In this muddy water, try to stay true to yourself as much as possible."
Xu Qingmo was silent and speechless for a long time.
Mrs. Xu saw that Xu Qingmo had not spoken, for fear that she would be frightened, so she stepped forward and held her hand: "Mo Mo, are you okay?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "It's not a big deal, I'm fine!"
Marquis Ning Yuan raised his eyes slightly, then looked at Xu Qingmo: "Are you afraid?"
Xu Qingmo shook his head: "Don't be afraid, living people are much scarier than those dead."
Marquis Ning Yuan took a deep breath, then stood up: "You are all tired, go and have a good rest!"
Xu Qingmo returned to the yard, changed his clothes, and then walked into the yard, feeling a little panicked.
After all, Qu Lian was a little frightened. After drinking a bowl of calming decoction, she was coaxed to sleep by Hua Ying.
Hua Ying walked to Xu Qingmo with her cloak and said helplessly: "Why did the girl have to take Qu Lian with her today? She is so old, she is inevitably scared!"
Xu Qingmo looked back at Hua Ying, and then said: "Is it possible to take you there so that you won't be afraid? Qu Lian is young and was frightened. She will probably be fine if she sleeps. If you are timid, you won't be too courageous. The cost of the decoction and medicine you spent after being frightened may be more."
Xu Qingmo knew them well, so Hua Ying had no excuse, but she was still a little unhappy: "A girl shouldn't go to a place like that."
"But if no one is willing to go, then they will have to stay buried on that mountain. Even during the holidays, they won't be able to receive a handful of paper money." Xu Qingmo looked up at the moonlight, "At least let others know that they are How did they die? At least their families must know that they are no longer here!"
Hua Ying was silent. She heard about what happened in the suburbs today. She felt a lot of emotion, but mostly she was helpless: "Girl, you should go to bed early!"
Xu Qingmo didn't say anything more and just returned to the house.
Sleepless night.
Early the next morning, Xu Qingmo got up and went to the yard where the women were guarded. Logically speaking, these women should be detained first, but everyone who survived was covered with wounds.
The Seventh Prince couldn't bear it, so he chose a courtyard in his mansion as a place for these women to practice. Every day, all kinds of people came in and out of the Seventh Prince's mansion, and the strong smell of medicine wafted out of the courtyard bit by bit. .
When Xu Qingmo came, Xie Suyu was very busy. He was looking through everyone's confessions. They were almost all the same. There was no difference, but they didn't have much effect.
Xie Suyu couldn't help but sigh: "The person behind the scenes really hid himself completely."
After all, when you come to someone's house, Xu Qingmo always has to meet the owner first. Xu Qingmo looked at the cases scattered on the table and said softly: "All the trials have been completed so quickly?"
"They were all interrogated overnight, and they recruited almost everyone they could." Xie Suyu pressed his head, obviously very helpless, "But there were not many useful confessions at all, and all the clues disappeared when the host came!"
Xu Qingmo stepped forward and picked up a file. She looked at it and then said coldly: "She wants to take care of everything alone!"
"What can you do?" Xie Suyu raised his head and looked at Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo lowered his eyes: "There are always some people who won't shed tears until they see the coffin. Although people in the world always say that defeat is the answer, but sometimes the behavior is too decent, which may not be a good thing!"
Xie Suyu frowned.
Xu Qingmo raised his eyes and looked at Xie Suyu: "Leave the interrogation to Meng Hetong. No matter life or death, let him do the interrogation, and you can get what you want."
Xie Suyu was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "What do you want to do here?"
"I want to see the person who was about to die yesterday." Xu Qingmo said softly.
"Okay!" Xie Suyu stood up, "I'll take you there!"
Xie Suyu didn't have much arrogance, so he personally took Xu Qingmo to the temporarily isolated yard. There was a large shed in the yard specially used for boiling medicine.
As soon as he walked nearby, there was a pungent smell. Xu Qingmo frowned slightly: "How many people are here now?"
"There are twenty-seven people still alive. From last night to now, several people have hanged themselves and committed suicide. Now everyone is very tired!" Xie Suyu sighed, "The people in my house have just been replaced. Yes, the people you see and take care of now are all from the palace, and most of them are people around my mother!"
Xu Qingmo nodded, and when he walked to the door of the courtyard, Xie Suyu stopped: "They can't see men now, so I won't go in!"
Xu Qingmo understood, saluted Xie Suyu, and walked in.
The huge courtyard was crowded with people. The people in the palace were quick and busy, taking good care of the people in the courtyard. However, it was obviously overcrowded, but it was as quiet as death.
Xu Qingmo bypassed many people and walked to where the dying woman was.
Her injuries were too serious. She was alone in this yard and she was still unconscious, but fortunately, the bleeding had stopped.
The medical woman who took care of her had slightly red eyes: "... Her pelvic bone was cracked. We clamped her with a wooden board, and we had to apply medicine on the valley path. It would be a miracle if she survives!"
