"You said Wang Lao Ba made a move on Song Jin He?"

"Well, not only did Starling make a move on that lady, he also--"

"Wang Lao Ba, what else did he do?"

Liu Laoer's face wasn't dark now, but his heart was heavy.

When we killed the wolf and the wild boar today, all the officials saw it. Su Zhenbei's body has recovered a little. Even though he still has six soul-suppressing nails in his body, he is the war god of Daqi after all.

He can kill wild boars and wolves, so killing a turtle is no big deal.

"My brother also told me that the lady is pretty and can bear children. He wants to sell her to a northerner as a wife. He also took a fancy to the little girl in her arms and said he would sell her to the owner of the wooden fortress..."

Listening to what Zhao Xiaoqi said, Liu Laoer became more and more frightened.

"Wang Lao Ba, his death was truly a good one."

Liu Lao Er squeezed out these words from between his teeth, "It would have been fine if he had done it himself, but he dragged us into it."

Su Zhenbei was a well-known short-sighted guy in Beijing. What Wang Laoba and Zhao Xiaoqi said must have reached his ears.

No one spread the news. Wang Lao Ba embarrassed Song Jin He that day. Zhao Xiao Qi said that Song Jin He's youngest son saw it. When the little guy returned, he would definitely complain to Su Zhen Bei.

"Xiao Qi, where did the Su family sleep that night in Da Liuzhuang? Do you remember?"

Among the three, Zhao Xiaoqi is the youngest, has the most flexible mind, and has the best memory.

"The Su family members slept in the Liu family ancestral hall near the window, while Su Zhenbei and the old housekeeper slept in the donkey cart outside."

"When did Wang Lao Ba go to your house, and when did he leave?"

Widow Lu had already been frightened by what Liu Laoer and the other man said.

She had always known that Wang Lao Ba and other officials were not good people, but she had never expected that the two officials who had been involved with Wang Lao Ba were so bad. Not only did they take advantage of Mrs. Su, but they also sold her and her child.

Now Wang Laoba is dead.

She had come here rashly, and the two men had not avoided her when they were talking.

Now she knew the details of the two officials. Would they keep her and then sell her off? Widow Lu was a little scared at this time.

"He came to my house during the first hour of the first lunar month, stayed for a while and then left. Calculating the distance and the walking speed, he returned to the ancestral hall in the middle of the first hour of the first lunar month."

"Wang Laoba should have been killed by Su Zhenbei."

Liu Laoer is now 100% sure that Wang Laoba was killed on his way back from Widow Lu's house that night.

Of course, if you think about it, Wang Laoba should have been targeted when he left the ancestral hall.

"Brother Liu, what should we do? We——"

Zhao Xiaoqi looked at Liu Laoer with a pale face.

Liu Laoer's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

Su Zhenbei killed Wang Laoba, and that was fine. Wang Laoba was courting death, provoking the wrong people, and he deserved it.

But who is Su Zhenbei?

Liu Laoer didn't believe that Su Zhenbei could have simply killed Wang Laoba. How many things did he get out of Wang Laoba before he died?

They have done so many shameful things over the years, and Wang Laoba has always been with them.

"Let's go to Mujiabao and do business with the owner of Mujiabao. Then we will leave together."

Zhao Xiaoqi was a little anxious.

He followed Liu Lao Er and had dealt with Mujiabao many times over the years. He naturally knew that the owner of Mujiabao could change their faces and make fake identities for them. But he was still reluctant to give up his job as an official.

"If you continue doing this, you'll be dead."

Liu Lao Er glared at him and said, "After the Earth Dragon turned the tables, the connection and supply with the capital were cut off. If we continue on this path, no one knows whether we can survive and reach the place of exile."

Liu Laoer's face was gloomy. Liu Laoer: If I lose my life on the road, then the money I saved and the farm I bought over the years will all be given to others. It is better to take this opportunity to leave. Zhou Fuan will naturally not report us running away. If his officers escape, he will also be implicated. Therefore, he will definitely report that he died on the road in the end.

"But we're leaving like this—"

There was a look of struggle on Zhao Xiaoqi's face.

"Of course we can't just leave like this, it would be a bargain for them. Before we leave, we have to bring a batch of goods to the Lord of the Wooden Castle."

"Brother Liu, I will do whatever you say. I will follow you for the rest of my life."

I heard that I would make a fortune before leaving.

Zhao Xiaoqi was immediately happy.

"If we are going to take people, we might as well take more. Take some children to Mujiabao. And then take a few beautiful girls and send them to the building."

Zhao Xiaoqi: Over the years, I have made a lot of money following Brother Liu. I sent all the money back to my hometown to help my parents build a house and buy land. But I am already dead, so I can't go back. If it really doesn't work out and I can't follow Brother Liu, I will go directly to Yulin Mountain and join my distant cousin and become a mountain bandit. I can also live a carefree life.

Widow Lu's face turned pale and her whole body was shaking.

Finished.

She had such a miserable life, she had landed herself in a wolf's den. These two people would definitely send her to that wood fort master to be a medicine man. After all, it was not easy for her to sell her body to the building.

"Then you follow us."

Liu Laoer didn't care about Widow Lu's expression.

Plop! Widow Lu knelt on the ground. She couldn't kowtow because of her big belly. She rubbed her hands together and looked at Liu Laoer pleadingly.

"Please, for Wang Lao Ba's sake, spare my life and the child's life."

Liu Laoer was surprised at first, then his face turned even darker.

Zhao Xiaoqi hurried forward and helped Widow Lu up.

"Don't be afraid. Our Brother Liu will never make things difficult for his own people."

Liu Lao Er stared at Widow Lu, "You are pregnant with Wang Lao Ba's child. We will take you away from here. When we get down the mountain, we will walk a few dozen miles to Hulin Town. Then, we will send you to Wang Lao Ba's sister's home."

"Old Eight used to tell me that Brother Liu was very kind and righteous."

Widow Lu smiled at Liu Lao Er in a flattering manner, "I'll go back and get my luggage, I——"

"You don't have to go back. Ask Zhao Xiaoqi to get the stuff. Everyone in Da Liuzhuang is watching you. What are you going to say if you go back to get the luggage by yourself?"

Widow Lu: Yes, Liu Laoer is right. The official went back to help me carry my luggage. People in the village would think that the official had taken a fancy to me and took me for himself. I am a widow with no foundation. If I am taken away by the official, no one in the village will come to plead for me.

"Xiao Qi, you will..."

Liu Laoer escorted Zhao Xiaoqi out of the tent and immediately told Zhao Xiaoqi to take back Widow Lu's things and then go find Muxiang, the village chief's daughter-in-law.

Muxiang is the medicine man of the master of Mubao. The master of Mubao must have a big plan to send Muxiang to Daliu Village. He might as well take advantage of the situation and cooperate with Muxiang, using the medicine in Muxiang's hands to get more people to sell it.
