Chapter 780 A Murder Occurred in the Town

Listening to Bai Yunxi's explanation, Wen You narrowed his eyes. He was really a shameless person and had disgraced a scholar.

"Don't worry Aunt Bai, I will protect my fifth brother and won't let anything happen to him."

Bai Yunxi nodded, "I'm always panicking. Come on, let's go back quickly. You ride Xue Lihong to catch up and protect him."

The two returned to Zaoshu Hutong, and Bai Yunxi packed a little baggage for her, especially the best gold sore medicine and a first aid kit redeemed from the locker, and handed them directly to Wenyou.

"Take these, just in case."

Fortunately, when I first put the saddle together, I got two straps that can store a lot of things.

Wenyou wore a blue-grey cloak, a high ponytail, and a dark iron bracelet on her tightened cuffs, which exuded a dark luster. He wears rabbit skin riding boots that reach to the height of his calf, with two daggers stuck inside, giving him a standard appearance.

"Be careful on the road and stay safe."

Watching Wenyou get on her horse and gallop away, Baiyunxi silently prayed for safety.

It was because she had been living too comfortably in the past few years that she had forgotten such an important person.

The man trampled them into the dust and never showed up again. He probably didn't take them seriously. After all, the old Juren was dead, the children were ignorant, and the original owner was a female. They probably thought they had no chance to turn around, so they ignored it.

When the examinees pass by the post station, they will be entertained by the post chief personally. As a sign of the importance of the examinees rushing to take the examination, the county magistrate will show up on behalf of the county magistrate to congratulate them in advance for winning the first prize.

Fortunately, Jin Hong was just a county magistrate. As long as Xiao Wu successfully entered Beijing this time, he would be beyond his reach.

Even if that person found Xiao Wu, he would not dare to target him in a big way. The sneaky targeting was beneficial to Xiao Wu. With Wen Youyou protecting him, Xiao Wu's safety will not be a problem.

Bai Yunxi thought for a while and felt a little at ease. After bidding farewell to the Zhang family, she set off home.

Between the county and the town, there was a mule cart in the morning and evening, which stopped directly at the large cart shop in the town. Then she took the ox cart back to the village.

Mule carts are faster than oxen carts and cheaper than horse-drawn carriages, and are most suitable for transporting passengers.

Just when the mule cart was about to enter the town, Baiyun Xi found a group of people gathered at the entrance of the town. After getting closer, he heard everyone talking.

"Have you heard? The body of the husband of the Qin family is still in the town government office. The people from the government office have ordered the arrest of Wan Niang and her lover. I wonder if they can catch them? No matter what the result is, the Qin family is It's gone. Fortunately, there is still a grandson waiting for him, so the Qin family has some hope. "

"Who says it's not the case? We have to restrain the children at home when we go back. Don't provoke the women in Goulan Courtyard, or we may get angry.

"The Qin family only has an only son, and it will be gone if they say goodbye. If you ask me, we must capture that couple of bitches and soak them in the pig cage..."

Listening to the discussions of the townspeople, Baiyun Xi was shocked. Something happened to the Qin family?

When the mule cart stopped at the cart shop, Bai Yunxi paid and walked out, and heard people in twos and threes gathering together to discuss.

"I just went to see the Qin family boy after he was beaten to death. The Qin family's clothing store was closed."

"I have lost my son, so how can I still be in the mood to open a business... Fortunately, I still have a grandson, so I have some hope of having a good family. If I say no, it will be gone. The old couple of the Qin family have aged dozens of years and grown old overnight. "

Hearing what they meant, Bai Yunxi frowned. They said that the boy from the Qin family was dead or beaten to death, and that the wife left the child and ran away with her lover.

Thinking about the conflicts that the Qin family had caused because of that woman, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but sigh. The originally good family was ruined just because of the woman from Goulan Yuan, and it became the talk of the town.

She was asked to tell her that Wan Niang, who finally got out of Goulan, finally became a good person and met a man who sincerely takes care of her, can't she live a good life? Why are you still provoking people? It's better now. Anyone who becomes a wanted criminal in the Yamen will be completely finished for his life.

When passing by the Qin Family Clothing Village, Bai Yunxi took a special look. Just as she was leaving, a man with disheveled hair suddenly rushed out from the alley next to him. She was startled and she quickly avoided it.

Immediately afterwards, another person chased her, and that person caught her in time when she fell to the ground.

"Old woman, why are you bothering? Our son is gone, and we still have a grandson. You can't ignore it."

"I don't want a grandson. I don't recognize the child born to that bitch. I just want my son. I want that bitch to pay for his life. I want to go to the Yamen to see my son. I can't let him lie there alone..."

"Old lady, wake up. Xiaobao is our son's only bloodline. If he has any good intentions, our family will be completely wiped out."

Shopkeeper Qin grabbed his wife's shoulders with both hands and shook her hard, with a sad look on his face.

"It's all my fault. If we had been crueler and separated them, even if my son hated us, he wouldn't have lost his life for that bitch. In the end, it was all my fault. It was my inaction as a father that harmed my son. Do you want to Just blame me.”

With that said, shopkeeper Qin grabbed his wife's hand and greeted him in the face, making everyone around him look away and their eyes turned red.

"Master, master, it's not your fault, it's me. I shouldn't have forced him. It's because I couldn't bear to see that bitch mistreating others and didn't give her a good look. That's why he had a second thought, fell in love, and harmed our son. Woo hoo..."

Seeing the two holding each other's hands and crying, the people around them couldn't help but persuade them to be more open-minded. After all, they still have grandchildren. As long as they take good care of them, they will be counting on them in the future.

Regarding what happened to the couple, Bai Yunxi found it sad and complicated. Every family had its own problems that were difficult to recite. It no longer mattered who was at fault. They were gone. No matter how much they said, it would be in vain.

As a passerby, she couldn't help except sigh.

After leaving the town, Baiyun Xi walked while paying attention to the front and back, hoping to ride on an ox cart to save some leg effort.

On the way, I met two men dressed as police officers passing by. They were carrying machetes at their waists. Thinking of the murder case in the town, they probably were sent by the county.

During this period, the punishment for crimes such as adultery was very severe as long as one was caught. One round included rolling a nail board and flogging.

"Damn it, I've been working hard for a day and a half, and I don't even have time to drink. If I catch you, I have to skin them."

One of the agents cursed dissatisfiedly and spat,

"What kind of thing can a woman come out of a hook bar be? Whoever marries her will be unlucky. This is not true."

"There's no place to hide in this wilderness. Unless you go into the mountains and become a savage, what's the point? Damn it, I'm so tired that I don't even have a chance to breathe."

When they passed each other, Bai Yunxi heard the dissatisfied tone of the two people.
