Xia Xiaoba took out the old woman like a chicken and threw it on the ground, and said to Xiao Ming: "Little sister, what do you think of dealing with this old woman? Should she bury her alive or kill her directly? She has such a bad heart, so why not bury her alive? alright."
"Doctor Xiao, please forgive me." Mrs. Hua was completely frightened. She lay on the ground and begged Xiao Ming. A stream of heat flowed out uncontrollably between her legs, and there was an unspeakable pungent smell. It was extremely stinky. Word.
Xia Xiaoba pursed his lips and fanned with his hand, trying to get rid of the stench. He was so careless and spineless.
"As long as you name the person behind the scenes, I won't embarrass you." Xiao Ming said.
"Yes~~" Mrs. Hua was a little hesitant and did not dare to say it. "It was the old slave who was deceived by lard. Seeing the lady reward Doctor Xiao with hundreds of taels of silver, she suddenly became greedy and begged the doctor to let the old man go. Slave." Mrs. Hua kowtowed.
"I don't think it's like murdering someone for money. You'd better recruit them honestly, otherwise I'll let you know the taste of 3,600 silver needles." Xiao Ming didn't believe that he only harmed her for money. Just scare this old woman who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Girl, please forgive me, girl, please forgive me." Hua Pozi thought of the silver needle, and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably. She kowtowed desperately and cried until she was confused.
"Don't you tell me, I'm going to start inserting needles. To be honest, I haven't tried inserting 3,600 needles into a person yet? Mother Hua, please let me test it first." Xiao Ming put the silver in her hand. He took out the needle and gestured in front of Mrs. Hua's eyes, as if thinking about where to start.
"Tell me, where should I start? How about starting between the nails? How about putting a needle in each nail?" It was getting late now, and she had to rush back to town, otherwise Xiao Han and Xiao Yu should be worried.
Mrs. Hua was so frightened that she cried, "It was Aunt Wu. It was Aunt Wu who told me to do this."
Xia Xiaoba on the side was dumbfounded and deeply saddened. The method of execution and extorting confessions he had learned was completely useless.
"Who is Aunt Wu? Why did she want to kill me?" Xiao Ming was confused. There was no Aunt Wu in her memory.
"Aunt Wu is Mr. Su's aunt." Hua Pozi cried and begged, "She asked me to put croton powder in the tea soup that Mrs. Li drank, causing her to have diarrhea when she set off, and she asked me to follow and kill you, she said You have no father and no mother, and no one will hold you accountable even if you are gone. She said nothing else. Real girl, I have told you everything I know. Just let me go." Of course, there are also the three things Lin gave her. One hundred taels of silver, and once Xiao Ming dies, she can keep the three hundred taels of silver as herself. Aunt Wu promised her to issue a deed of betrayal after settling the matter, and she took the money and flew away.
"That's all?" Xiao Ming asked doubtfully.
"That's all I know, and Wu Da. He is Aunt Wu's eldest brother. He must know why Aunt Wu wants to kill you." Hua Pozi suddenly roared and pointed in the direction of Wu Da.
"Wu Da?" Xiao Ming looked at the place where Wu Da was lying, but it was empty and there were still people there.
"Haha, you are careless, you are careless." Xia Xiaoba looked at Xiao Ming's questioning gaze, smiled unnaturally, and touched his head in embarrassment. He had just been focusing on Xiao Ming interrogating the prisoner, but he actually let that guy Got away.
Xia Xiaoba knew that he had made a mistake and asked flatteringly: "See how this old woman handles it."
This guy was too unreliable, and Xiao Ming disliked him.
"She is from the Su family. Leave her to Mr. Su." She wanted to know what Lin was going to do with Mrs. Hua, which would determine whether she could still be friends with Su Waner in the future.
Xiao Ming asked Xia Xiaoba to send people back to Pingcheng. She took a bullock cart on the road and hurried back to the town. She always thought it was Lin who wanted to kill her, but it turned out to be Aunt Wu. She had never seen Aunt Wu and didn't know who she was. Why should he kill himself? Xiao Ming thought hard along the way, thinking about Aunt Wu's information. Among the people he met at Su's house, only a beautiful woman he met while waiting at the door on the first day passed by her. Maybe it's Aunt Wu.
It was still a quarter of an hour late when we arrived at Ping'an Town. Xiao Han and Xiao Yu had already been waiting at the gate of the town, staring and worried.
Seeing Xiao Ming coming, Xiao Han felt relieved.
"Sister, you're back." Xiao Han greeted her, and Xiao Yu ran up and took Xiao Ming's hand.
"aunt."
"Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long. I was delayed because of something." Xiao Ming said apologetically, looking at her younger brother and nephew for a while, she temporarily forgot about the threat posed by Aunt Wu. She would not let anyone hurt them. .
"Sister, why didn't you take the carriage?" Xiao Han, who was attentive, discovered that something was wrong with her sister. She came back in a bullock cart and her shoes were stained with mud.
"The carriage broke down on the road, so we had to take a ride on the ox-cart that passed by Nian Shun." Xiao Ming explained. Then he changed the topic and said to Uncle Liu: "I'm sorry, Uncle Liu, for keeping you waiting for so long."
Seeing her sister like this, Xiao Han didn't ask any more questions.
"It's okay, it's just that Brother Han and Brother Yu are very worried." Uncle Liu knew that Xiao Ming went to the city to see a noble man, and he admired the young Xiao Ming very much.
"Everyone, get in the car. We have to go back quickly, otherwise it will be dark and we can't see." Uncle Liu waved his whip and hurried back to the village, but it was still dark when he entered the village.
As soon as Xiao Ming and the other three entered the village, they heard Maomao's barking. Along with Maomao's barking, a black wolf dog rushed over.
"Maomao." Xiao Yu became excited, jumped out of the carriage and hugged Maomao. Maomao even licked Xiao Yu's little hand affectionately and circled the carriage.
Uncle Liu laughed and praised: "Your dog is really a spirit."
"Uncle Liu, let's get off the bus here. It's really troublesome for you today." Xiao Ming said.
"It's okay, no trouble. I'll send you there. It won't be good if you fall in the dark." Liu Bo said politely, his home is on the roadside, and they can come back after sending them away.
"Thank you, Uncle Liu." Xiao Ming said politely, no longer delaying.
"Brother Yu, come up and sit down." Uncle Liu shouted, driving the ox cart forward slowly. Xiao Ming knew that his legs were in trouble and hurt when it was windy or rainy. When Xiao Ming found out, he gave him medicine to treat his old cold legs. Moreover, the Xiao Ming siblings were generous. Knowing that it was late today, they specially added an extra ten cents. .
Mrs. Song was waiting by the bridge with a torch, looking anxious. As she watched the bullock cart approaching, her heart slowly relaxed.
"Why are you so late today? But something happened." Mrs. Song stepped forward and helped the three people out of the carriage. She looked at them carefully and felt relieved that they were all intact.
"When I came back from Pingcheng today, the carriage broke down on the road." Xiao Ming explained. Saying goodbye to Uncle Liu again, the group crossed the wooden bridge and went home.
"So that's it. Everyone is hungry. Come in and have a meal." Mrs. Song greeted.
The food had already gone cold, so Song had to take it into the kitchen to heat it up again.
"Mrs. Song, let's eat together. I've made you worried today." Xiao Han greeted, pulling Mrs. Song to sit down and eat together.
"Okay." Ms. Song didn't delay. Xiao Ming and the others came back late today, and she was worried that they never got home and didn't bother to eat dinner, so they were hungry until now.
Under the oil lamp, a simple dinner of one meat, one vegetarian and one soup was enjoyed by the four of us.
