Chapter 312 Why don’t I take advantage of their strategy?
Su Nuan was silent. This man was indeed cunning. After forcing someone to death, he would marry her first and then die after she became a member of his family. None of her family members would do anything about it.
She suddenly realized that this was very unfair, unfair to women.
If this man kills one woman and then marries her again, and then kills her again after marrying her, wouldn't that mean he has played with many women without having to take responsibility?
A cold light flashed in her eyes. If there is Sun Lei here, then there must be Sun Lei in her own Sifang City. How can she prevent such a thing from happening?
Su Xia grabbed Su Nuan's sleeve and shook it, "Sister, I can't find the appointment document."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Do you know what a county magistrate is?"
Su Xia tilted her head and replied, "Isn't he just the lowest official?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "No, but the county seat is indeed not big. But do you think this is a county? Is there a county government office?"
"There's nothing. A county magistrate is coming to the village to take up his post. Isn't that nonsense?"
Su Xia was dumbfounded, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, "Oh, that's right..."
Su Nuan said, "Okay, follow me and leave."
Su Xia asked: "Just leave like this?"
Su Nuan nodded, "Let's go like this."
Su Xia was a little worried, but she would not disobey what Su Nuan said, so she followed silently.
They were discovered by villagers when they were walking out of the backyard.
The villagers tacitly agreed not to say a word and even made way for them.
Some middle-aged women stood side by side to block the two people's figures, fearing that they would be discovered.
Su Nuan was speechless. She just wanted to make trouble. It’s difficult for her to deal with you guys.
However, it can be seen that the villagers are very kind to Su Xia, and they don’t want Su Xia to be bullied to death by this man.
But not all villagers were kindhearted. A woman with a pointed chin and monkey cheeks saw Su Xia and shouted, "The bride has run away!"
This shout stunned everyone sitting in the yard at the banquet.
Sun Lei came over with a gloomy face and asked, "You want to escape?"
Su Nuan said fearlessly: "I am her sister, and now I want to take her back."
Sun Lei looked at Su Nuan. There was no surprise in his eyes, but rather a sinister look.
"I've already paid the betrothal gift, and you're going back on your word now?"
Su Nuan looked at Su Xia, "Dowry?"
Su Xia said: "Five taels of silver."
Su Nuan took out ten taels of silver and threw it over, "I'll pay you double."
Sun Lei took the silver, the vicious look in his eyes still lingering. "Hmph, come here, arrest them! They dare to play tricks on me! They're courting death!"
Su Nuan smiled and said, "What kind of official are you? Do you have any documents? Do you have an official seal?"
Sun Lei took out a document and a small seal from his arms, "Document, official seal."
Su Nuan was stunned. She walked over to take a look and found that it was real.
Her mind raced, a normal person would never come here to be a county seat because it was so poor.
She asked again: "This is just a village, where is the county government office for you to stay?"
Sun Lei chuckled, “This used to be a village, but now it’s a county town. The population has reached a certain level, so I came here to make it a county town.”
Su Nuan pursed her lips. She really didn’t expect it to be like this.
She glanced at Su Xia, and they stared at each other. This was completely different from what she had expected.
Sun Lei snorted, "Are you two going back to the backyard on your own? Or do you want me to invite you there?"
Su Nuan thought for a moment, turned around and pulled Su Xia back the same way.
The two of them arrived at the bridal chamber and sat on the bed together.
Su Xia asked: "What should we do next?"
Su Nuan touched his chin and said, "A normal person wouldn't come here to be the county magistrate. If he really wanted to be the county magistrate, he wouldn't have killed so many women."
"After all, if a county magistrate is hated by the locals, there's no way he'll get promoted or make money."
"So I think he came here with a purpose..."
After a pause, Su Nuan asked, "How did those women die?"
Su Xia replied, "Beibei jumped into the sea and his body was nowhere to be found. The rest died in accidents, either from hitting their heads or choking on food. It all looked like accidents."
Su Nuan asked again: "What about their bodies? Are they buried?"
Su Xia nodded, "Yes, buried, in the back mountain."
Su Nuan was silent again. She still felt that Sun Lei had other purposes.
The space spirit said, "What do you want to do? Are you waiting for the wedding night instead of running away now?"
Su Nuan raised her eyebrows, stood up and began to inspect the new house.
She discovered that there were hallucinogenic drugs in the wedding wine on the table. After carefully examining them and learning about their properties, she became even more confused.
The space spirit said: "This is a drug that causes hallucinations. It can make people feel like they have already had their wedding night."
Su Nuan nodded, "That's right, but why does Sun Lei want to use this?"
The Space Spirit said, "Maybe Su Xia did it?"
Su Nuan didn't think it was Su Xia who did it, because there was no such thing in the medicine she gave.
Su Xia came over and asked, "What's wrong? Is it poisonous?"
Su Nuan shook her head. "I now suspect that Sun Lei is a human trafficker. All the people who died earlier were abducted and sold away."
Su Xia pondered for a moment and asked, "But who would buy a married woman?"
Su Nuan pointed at the wine pot and said, "There is medicine here. If you drink it, you will feel like you have rolled in the sheets, but in fact you are still a grown woman."
Su Xia tilted her head, thought for a long time and said, "Why don't we play along with them?"
Su Nuan looked at her in surprise and asked, "Tell me about it."
Su Xia's eyes flashed with a foxy glint, "I'll pretend to fall into his trap, and then see where he sends me."
Although Su Nuan didn't want Su Xia to take risks, she had to do so in order to solve the mystery.
She nodded and said, "Okay, I will always be with you and won't let anything happen to you."
She paused and asked doubtfully, "Do you know how to get close to a man?"
Su Xia blushed, "I know, I've seen it."
Su Nuan chuckled. It seemed that her Dong'er had grown up and had been exposed to many things.
This is good. The more mature Su Xia becomes, the more stable her future will be.
"Then you will have to bear with it for a few days. I'm leaving first."
Su Xia nodded and instructed: "Go back first, let them know you've left, and then come back."
"By the way, you have to take back the silver you threw away. It's ten taels."
Su Nuan pursed her lips and tried to hold back her smile. The little girl now knew how to save money.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Wait for me to come back."
Su Nuan went out with the package on her back and shouted in the front hall, "My sister won't go with me. You have to return the money I just gave her."
Sun Lei didn't covet the ten taels of silver. He threw it to Su Nuan with a cold face and said, "Take it."
Su Nuan snorted, "Be nice to my sister, or I'll bring her brother-in-law and smash your place up."
Sun Lei's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, sister, I will treat her well."
Su Nuan snorted, grabbed the silver and left.
Ada was stopped at the door and it was difficult for him to break in.
Seeing Su Nuan coming out alone, he asked anxiously, "Where's Xiao Xia?"
Su Nuan waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
A Da nodded and took Su Nuan back to his residence.
Su Nuan then said, "I suspect Sun Lei has some shady dealings, so Xiao Xia is using herself as bait to solve the mystery."
