Chapter 040 You Are Crazy
Thinking of Xie Jian's expression these days, Shen Heng had a bad feeling in her heart. Would he go for revenge?
The butcher has been imprisoned, and Xie Changgen, the head of the Xie family, has been released back home due to insufficient evidence. Shen Heng dropped what she was holding and ran out quickly.
The puppy in the doghouse was resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the door closing, he ran out like an arrow. He looked around and saw that there was no one around. He barked twice and went back to his doghouse to rest and wait for his owner to come home.
Winter nights come quickly. There was still some light just now, but now it is dark.
There were not many people in the alley. At this time, everyone stayed at home to eat. After dinner, most people would not go out for a walk in the cold weather and would go straight to sleep.
Before Chen Heng even reached the clan leader's house, she heard the clan leader's wife, Li, cursing loudly: "Which bastard put two traps at my door? If you step on them, your legs will be broken. Who is so wicked and black-hearted? Come out now, if you have the guts."
But no one came out to pay attention to her.
Hidden in the shadows of a cluster of houses, Shen Heng looked at the clan leader's house from afar. The lights were brightly lit, and Li was standing at the door, holding two animal traps and cursing. Under the cold moonlight, although it was unclear whether the traps were from the Xie family, it was almost certain.
Was it easily discovered?
Just as Chen Heng was puzzled, Li's eldest daughter-in-law, Jia, came running back from another road: "Mom, we can't find Hu Bao. We've been looking for him for half an hour, and we don't know where he went to play. Is he dead?"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, stop cursing my precious grandson. Where's your father? Didn't we go look for him together?"
"I don't know what my father was thinking, but he said Hu Bao was taken to Baliting and asked me to go home to pick him up. He went there first."
"Who has nothing better to do than take Hu Bao to Baliting? Baliting in such a cold weather?" Li seemed to have thought of something and looked down at the trap in her hand.
"What's wrong, mother-in-law? Why do you look so unhappy?" Jia asked with concern.
"It's Xie Jian, it's Xie Jian," Li said in panic, muttering, "B-Bali Pavilion? Could he know about that? This is impossible, absolutely impossible."
"Mother-in-law, what is this?"
Li threw away the trap and said in panic, "What are you standing there for? Let's go to the mountain. My tiger cub must not come out."
Watching the two hurriedly leaving, Chen Heng was filled with confusion. Xie Jian had taken Hu Bao to Baliting? Why had he taken him there? And what was this "䛍" that Li was talking about?
Thinking about the fact that Li said this while looking at the trap, this trap was left by Brother Xie Jian.
"Bali Pavilion on Boyun Mountain, where the eldest brother of the Xie family was found." Xie Jian's father was also accused of murder here. Chen Heng looked at the Boyun Mountain in the distance, which was clearly visible under the cold moonlight. Why did she go there?
She didn't have time to think about the relationship and turned around and ran towards the yamen.
If Xie Jian really went to Boyun Mountain, there might be a loss of life between her and Xie Changgen. The Li and Jia families also went to ask for help, and these people would never let Xie Jian go. She could not help much if she went alone.
"Who is it?" The guard at the gate saw someone rushing towards them and drew his sword as usual: "Is it Miss Shen from the Xie family?"
"Is that you, Lord Lu? I have a matter of life and death to report." Chen Heng said breathlessly.
"My Lord went out half an hour ago."
"When will the master be back?"
