Chapter 31 Chang Wu Discovers Lao Xin and the Song Family's Plan
Not long after breakfast, heavy raindrops began to fall in the yard.
I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s rained a lot these past two days.
Liang He was a little worried. If he didn't arrive at Guancheng on time, he would be held accountable.
Let’s wait and see. No matter what happens tomorrow, we have to hurry on our way.
"Captain Liang, are you there?"
Zhu Mingqing stood outside the door and knocked.
"Mrs. Zhu?" Liang He was a little surprised to see her when he opened the door. Why did she come to him at this time?
"I have something to report to you, sir."
After much thought, Zhu Mingqing decided to tell Liang He that no matter whether he believed it or not, she could not do anything to Lao Xin on her own.
But Liang He was different. He was an official appointed by the court.
Moreover, judging from his conversation with Liang Huanyu that day, the two should be related, although their relationship is not ordinary.
Liang He's expression was calm as he asked, "What's the matter?"
"When I was washing rice that day, I discovered..." Zhu Mingqing slowly told the story of what happened in the dilapidated temple, but concealed the part where she saw Lao Xin talking with the man in black.
Before she could finish, Liang He's face was filled with anger: "Ridiculous!"
He snorted coldly: "Madam Zhu, I am tolerant of you and let you walk freely, but I don't want you to slander my brother at will."
Zhu Mingqing's eyes flickered slightly, but he still smiled and said, "I just told you exactly what I saw. As for whether Captain Liang believes it or not, that's your business."
The rain in the sky was getting heavier, mixed with a biting wind, and a hint of coolness came into the hot air.
Zhu Mingqing rubbed his arms. The rain was so heavy, could it be a precursor to the once-in-a-century rainstorm mentioned in the book?
Liang He pursed his lips and stared at her motionlessly, trying to figure out what her purpose was.
But in the end, she still had the same gentle smiling face as at the beginning.
Before leaving, Zhu Mingqing reminded him, "If you don't believe me, you can go to Lao Xin's room and see if there's anything unusual."
Watching her figure gradually disappear in the rain, Captain Liang's fingers gripping the door frame gradually tightened, and his brows became more and more furrowed.
It was not until noon that Chang Wu came to bring him food. He saw him standing motionless by the window, his clothes on the right shoulder soaked by the rain, and he had no intention of moving at all.
"Boss, what are you thinking about? Tell me and I'll give you some advice." Chang Wu asked while placing the food on the table.
…
After Song left Lao Xin's room, she found a secluded place to hide.
She deliberately became more and more hurried, unable to believe that she had actually agreed to kill someone.
She was hiding something in her heart, looked weak, and became suspicious at the slightest noise.
What to do? She has already openly fallen out with her sister-in-law, and she will definitely not use the things she gives her.
And what that adult said would not implicate her.
If she were discovered by Captain Liang or other officials, her life would be over for sure.
How about...
Just go all out,
Get rid of all these officials!
The whole family just ran away.
When the time comes, I'll find a deserted place and start a small business. It's better than going to the city to get some damn thing.
The more Song thought about it, the more she felt that this idea was brilliant!
In an instant, her legs and feet were no longer weak and her body regained strength.
However, she had to think about how to deal with this group of people.
Lao Xin was sleeping soundly when someone woke him up again.
Seeing the person coming, he suddenly woke up: "How is it, is it done?"
Song shook her head: "I didn't find the opportunity."
Lao Xin frowned: "Then why did you come to see me?"
Song covered her pounding heart, staring at the ground, not daring to look at him.
Then he brought out the idea he had just thought of, "What do you think?"
Lao Xin looked at his left leg. He didn't want to get involved, so he asked someone else to help.
But it is really difficult for her to do it alone now.
Then give me a hand, it’s just calling someone anyway.
"Okay, I'll call Xiaowu over then, and you can take the opportunity to drug the food in the Luo family's main room."
Snap——
The sound of a wooden bowl falling to the ground came from the direction of the door.
Old Xin and Mrs. Song looked over quickly and saw Chang Wu standing there in disbelief.
Chang Wu: I didn’t expect that the boss’ suspicion was right.
He had also had an argument with his boss about this matter, and was in a bad mood, so he wanted to come see Lao Xin and give him some medicine.
Unexpectedly, he actually heard...
Chang Wu was young at heart, and after being betrayed and hurt by the people he trusted, he didn't care about anything else.
He rushed in with red eyes: "Old Xin, how could you do such a thing? I just defended you in vain. Did you really want to drug me in the dilapidated temple the other day?"
"Who told you?" Lao Xin's heart skipped a beat. How could he even know this?
No, he has to calm Xiaowu down first, otherwise he will be finished.
Chang Wu said angrily, "It's you!"
Old Xin sighed, patted the bedside, and asked him to sit over. "I don't even know what happened in that dilapidated temple, and you come up and start accusing me. Don't I have to ask?"
Chang Wu no longer believed him and took two steps forward, pointing at Song. "What about her? I heard everything you said just now."
Old Xin stopped talking, reached out and quietly took out the rope from behind him, and while Chang Wu's eyes were on Song, he quickly strangled him around the neck.
Song's pupils widened and she covered her mouth in fear.
"Hmm..." Caught off guard, Chang Wu was strangled by the neck and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
He looked at Lao Xin in disbelief, tears welling up in his eyes.
He thought that if Lao Xin had no choice, he would keep the matter secret and then find a way to solve it with him.
But why didn't he even have a chance to speak?
Lao Xin said ruthlessly: "Xiao Wu, don't blame me. Blame yourself for not coming today."
Chang Wu struggled hard, but Lao Xin's leg was seriously injured and he didn't have much strength. Just as he was about to break free, Song reacted and immediately stepped forward to help.
Finally, Chang Wu gradually stopped struggling.
As soon as Lao Xin loosened his fingers, Chang Wu's body fell limply to the ground, his eyes wide open, and his face showed emotions of unwillingness, regret, resentment, etc.
Song's legs went weak and she fell to the side.
She took a deep breath, as if she would be unable to breathe in the next second.
After an unknown amount of time, Lao Xin wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice, "Leave the body here with me first. You can move it out at night."
Song's hands were still shaking, and her voice was trembling: "I transport it out?"
"What else?" Lao Xin pointed to his left leg. "If I could move, would I need you?"
Song looked at Chang Wu who died with his eyes open and closed her eyes in fear.
There were sounds of footsteps walking back and forth outside.
Seeing that she didn't move, Lao Xin couldn't help but growl:
"Hurry up and put the body in the cabinet, otherwise if someone comes later, we won't be able to explain it."
