Chapter 127 Betrayal
The person who came was Hu Zi, a neighbor who grew up with him. His mother died early, and while she took care of herself, she also took care of Hu Zi.
Although the two are not blood brothers, they are very close brothers.
Only Hu Zi knew about the shady things he did for Manager Guo. Now he was in a hurry. Could it be that something really happened to his mother?
"What's wrong with my mother, Hu Zi? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly!" Du Xuan changed his indifferent attitude and became anxious.
"Auntie... she's in a very bad state. That miracle doctor from Huizhou is actually a liar. Auntie is always thinking about you! And Brother Du, why are there so many strangers around her house staring at yours? Was that the one who did it?"
"Liar, how could it be?" Du Xuan muttered to himself. How could that miracle doctor be a liar!
"It's a lie. She was penetrated by a man, and that miracle doctor couldn't even tell what was wrong with my aunt." Hu Zi was indignant when he said this.
Then Hu Zi said thankfully, "It's a good thing that someone found out, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble that liar would have caused my aunt."
Hu Zi's words reminded Du Xuan of Pei Yian. He looked at Hu Zi eagerly, wanting to prove something: "Hu Zi, is the man you are talking about dressed in black and has a particularly good-looking face?
"Yes, Brother Du, do you know him?" Hu Zi was a little confused.
Du Xuan shook his head, but he already knew the other party's identity in his heart. He seemed to know a lot. Should he give in?
Pei Yian had indeed sent people to investigate Du Xuan and had a pretty good idea of who he was, but it was a surprise to meet the miracle doctor today.
Because of the poison in his body, Pei Yian has been concerned about the news of the miracle doctor, but this person has never appeared. They have settled in Qizhou County for several months, but there is still no clue. He even planned to go to the nearby county to inquire.
He then learned that a miracle doctor had come to Qizhou County from Huizhou City, and naturally he would not miss this opportunity.
But after seeing this so-called miracle doctor, I knew for sure that he was a fake, not even a half-baked one.
If he was allowed to do whatever he wanted, things would only get worse. So, by accident, he came face to face with Du Xuan's mother.
"So, Huzi, how is my mother doing?"
All that was left was silence, which made Du Xuan realize the seriousness of the matter.
He pounded on the wooden door weakly and heavily, as if this was the only way to vent his anger.
"Auntie isn't feeling well right now. If a man hadn't shown up in time to stop her, I'm afraid... Brother Du, when will you be able to get out?"
When the situation was serious, Brother Du was at most injured, but he was never arrested and locked up in this yamen like this time. Can Brother Du really get out after this?
"Hu Zi, I probably won't be able to get out for a while. Please take good care of my mother and keep her secret. If you need anything, just tell me."
Over the years, he has worked hard for Manager Guo and done so many things, so naturally he has gained a lot of benefits.
"We are a family, why are we talking to each other?" After Hu Zi agreed, he did not stay in the cell for too long and left in a hurry.
Although Du Xuan was shaken, his balance was still on the side of Manager Guo and he wanted to get some news about him.
But Manager Guo sent someone over and said that his mother was fine and was being taken care of, and there was nothing wrong with her at all. The miracle doctor was also very capable and had almost cured Aunt Du's injuries.
If Du Xuan had not received the news from Hu Zi, he might have actually believed the good words. However, Hu Zi told him that his mother was in a bad condition, and the miracle doctor was just a charlatan.
The two are very different, and the reactions he would give would also be very different.
Is Manager Guo reliable? Can he really be trusted?
This was also the first time that Du Xuan had doubts. After all, there were only him and his mother in their family. If he was always locked up in the county government office, how would his mother live in the future?
It's a secret that can be concealed, but how long can it be concealed? His mother is not stupid and can guess it.
There are now two paths before him, and he is still hesitant. For the time being, he really can't make any decision.
It’s just that Du Xuan couldn’t make any decisions, so someone helped him make them.
Pei Yian knew that the medicine he had administered was not strong enough, but it was enough to arouse suspicion. Suspicion would create cracks, and then anything he did would be understandable.
Manager Guo bribed the chief clerk, hoping to get the news that Du Xuan had signed a confession, so that he would not be blamed for everything.
Seeing his men rushing in, he hurriedly asked, "How's it going? Did Du Xuan plead guilty?"
The subordinate shook his head and said, "Huang Zhubu said that Du Xuan has not signed or sealed the agreement yet. It seems that he does not trust us very much."
"How could that be? Doesn't he even care about his mother's safety?"
Manager Guo knew that Du Xuan cared most about his mother's safety, so how could he just say that he didn't care? He even used threats, but he didn't confess immediately.
The subordinate asked tremblingly: "Boss, is there a possibility that Du Xuan has betrayed us?"
With Huang Zhubu putting pressure on them, the yamen runners certainly couldn't stop anything, and the main problem still lay with Du Xuan.
The subordinates reminded him that Manager Guo had also thought of this possibility. Du Xuan would definitely admit to all the charges and imprisonment was inevitable.
What if Du Xuan really betrayed him? Over the years, Du Xuan had done a lot of his subordinates' dirty deeds and knew a lot about them. He could be said to be the biggest insider.
A cold light flashed in his eyes. Since Du Xuan was unwilling to take responsibility for all of this, it seemed that he could not stay.
Manager Guo whispered something in his subordinate's ear. Although the subordinate was a little stunned, he quickly recovered his composure.
There is really no need to be lenient when facing traitors.
That night, Du Xuan looked at the half moon in the sky through the small window, and he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart. His future life would be like this endless darkness, with no hope left.
What should his mother do if I am not around?
Just as Du Xuan was feeling sad, someone knocked on the floor. He looked up and saw a strange face coming to bring him food. He had never seen this person before. Perhaps it was an old yamen runner he didn't know! This had nothing to do with him.
The man threw the things aside casually and said with some disgust: "Come and eat!"
Du Xuan was in a bad mood and naturally had no appetite, so he just let the plate of rice sit there.
Seeing that this person had no desire to eat, the yamen runner who was delivering the meal became a little anxious: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and finish your meal. Do you really want me to serve you?"
