Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 132

Chapter 132 Who Is The Murderer
A gust of cold wind blew over, causing many people to tremble involuntarily. Along with the occasional “crackling” sound, it added a strange feeling to the environment.

Not long after, the officials sent by the governor to investigate the kerosene and accounts returned.

One of the officials said respectfully, “Sir, there is a lot of kerosene sprinkled on the wall and ground of the backyard. The kerosene started to spread from the courtyard next door and was added to the east wind tonight. The fire was blown through the courtyard. With the help of kerosene, the courtyard of the Fourth Young Lady caught such a big flame.”

The governor had listened to Yun Xiao’s words before. Now that he had received the confirmation of the official messenger, he had already guessed some things in his heart. He took the account book handed over by the official messenger and slowly investigated it. After reading it for a while, he did not find anything related to the purchase of weapons.

It was at this moment that the strange messenger who went to retrieve the deed of sale in the other courtyard came back.

Duan Si, the governor of the capital, took over the deed of sale and flipped through it. However, he still did not notice anything strange. He cast a puzzled gaze on Yun Xiao, hoping that Yun Xiao could help him resolve his doubts.

When these people brought over all their deeds of sale, those who were kneeling clearly had a bad feeling. They knelt even lower, and even the expression of the rough-mined man who had not changed before changed slightly.

Yun Xiao naturally saw all of these people’s reactions in her eyes. She smiled and said, “Lord Duan, can the commoner women have a look at these deeds?”

These deeds of sale were originally from the Yun Clan. Yun Xiao’s courtesy was enough to give Duan Sizheng face. He did not find it difficult to give all those deeds of sale to Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao took the deed of sale and flipped through it. She did not find anything strange. However, there was always a feeling in her heart. That feeling was very strong, so Yun Xiao had no choice but to pay attention to it. She looked at those people who were kneeling with a calm gaze. When those people saw Yun Xiao like this, they calmed down a little.

“Did Fourth Young Lady ever see anything strange about this deed of sale?” Seeing that Yun Xiao hadn’t spoken for a long time, Duan Si anxiously asked.

Yun Xiao wanted to answer that she didn’t see anything strange, but at this moment, a thought flashed through her mind. The thought spun quickly, but she was still caught by Yun Xiao. She calmly nodded and took out a deed of sale from her hand. She raised her voice and said, “Who is Ding Dashan? Come out!”

However, after Yun Xiao’s voice fell, the air was completely calm and there was no movement at all.

Yun Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly and raised her voice again, “Who is Ding Dashan? Don’t let me say it a third time!”

However, after Yun Xiao’s words, there was still no one who answered Yun Xiao’s words.

At this moment, Duan Sizheng also felt something strange inside.

Yun Xiao’s eyes flashed with a trace of harshness. She took out another contract to sell her body. She snorted coldly and continued to raise her voice, “Who is Lin Ergou? Come out!”

However, no one stepped forward. Yun Xiao looked at the man kneeling on the ground with a faint gaze and continued to read, “Who is Huang Qiangzi? Step forward!”

This time, he finally received a very low voice, “Yes, it’s a slave.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth hooked slightly, and her realization was indifferent. “I didn’t expect that after ordering three people, one of them would finally answer. Since it’s you, you can stand up. I have a few words that I want to ask you.”

Huang Qiangzi unconsciously turned his gaze to the person who was facing the rough mine. His body trembled slightly before he heaved a sigh of relief, “Yes.” After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and continued to kneel down.

Yun Xiao put down the contract and said softly, “Do you know your birthday?”

A drop of cold sweat instantly appeared on Huang Qiangzi’s forehead. His gaze unconsciously looked at the man beside him, but he did not receive any response. He said in a trembling voice, “Slave, I forgot.”

The corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth slightly raised, and she slightly lengthened her voice, “Is that so?”

“Yes,” Huang Qiangzi replied softly.

Yun Xiao continued to whisper, “Since you have forgotten, then let me help you recall it. Are you born on the 28th of winter in the year of Xin Chou in the Yong and Kang Dynasties of the Eastern Jin Dynasty?”

Huang Qiangzi immediately nodded and replied, “Yes, this servant was born on this day. Thank you, Fourth Miss.”

Yun Xiao only chuckled, “You’re welcome. How was your mother’s illness a few years ago?”

“Mother’s body is not well recently. She has taken a lot of medicine.”

Yun Xiao secretly nodded, “Then you entered the monastery in April five years ago as a guardian. Did you come to the monastery with Han Dongzi?”

“Right, right.”

“Five years ago, when my father bought the courtyard, he recruited a batch of guards. There were you in that batch of guards. I remember that it was raining heavily back then.”

“Yes, Fourth Young Lady’s memory is really good.”

Yun Xiao was flattered, He just chuckled, Then, he looked through the information on Huang Qiangzi’s contract of sale. The more he looked at it, the colder his heart became. The words written on the contract of sale were exactly the opposite of the question Yun Xiao had just asked. Huang Qiangzi was born on the eighteenth day of the winter of the Yong and Kang years of the Eastern Jin Dynasties. There was a seriously ill father and mother who had died ten years ago. They entered the monastery last April to sell slaves. “Someone, capture Huang Qiangzi!” He harshly snorted.

Huang Qiangzi didn’t expect that he would be arrested in the blink of an eye when the fourth girl asked him a question. His expression changed slightly. Two officials had already arrested Huang Qiangzi. He struggled with all his might and looked at Duan Sizheng in puzzlement. He pitifully asked, “Sir, why did you arrest this servant?”

Duan Sizheng ignored his shouts, while Yun Xiao continued to call the roll.

After the matter with Huang Qiangzi, Yun Xiao named five people in a row and no one answered. She was deeply afraid that she would become the second Huang Qiangzi.

Yun Xiao, however, was not discouraged. She continued to read the people behind her. The corner of her mouth raised slightly, and she read all the people behind her in one breath. Still, no one answered.

Yun Xiao shook her head and laughed. She handed all the deeds to Duan Sizheng. “Master, you must believe the words of the commoner now, right? This is the deed of sale of someone from another courtyard, but after I nominated all the people here, no one answered. Do you think this is normal?”

Without Yun Xiao asking, Duan Sizheng knew that there was a big problem. He coldly snorted, “Capture all of these people!” I didn’t expect that all the people in this courtyard were fake. It was really hard to imagine.

With the orders of the governor, the official messenger went forward to get the man. However, he did not expect that at this moment, the man with the rough appearance of a mine suddenly stood up, raised the sword in his hand, and sternly said, “Brothers, since our identities have been exposed by this bitch, if we are captured to death, then we will die if we stay here, why don’t we all fight our way out?” Perhaps there is a way to survive! ”

With the reprimand of the leader, everyone’s eyes seemed to be filled with blood. They stood up in unison, gripped the longsword in their hands tightly, squeezed together with the man facing the rough mine, and pounced towards the officers and soldiers who were walking over.

Yun Xiao’s gaze was slightly absent-minded, and when the governor saw this moment, his gaze immediately became filled with killing intent. These people were truly bold! ‘”Kill the rebels! Capture these people!”

With the orders of the capital governor, the officials became bolder. They also pulled out their swords and fought with those people. Meanwhile, Guard Li stayed by Yun Xiao’s side all the time. He stared at those people with his eyes as bright as torches. He was deeply afraid that those people would suddenly go crazy and run over to kill Yun Xiao and the others.

The governor didn’t expect such a thing to happen in his jurisdiction. He felt that he couldn’t hold back his face and coughed dryly before continuing, “Fourth young miss, it’s better for fourth young miss to temporarily avoid such a land of slaughter.”

Yun Xiao naturally knew what Jing Zhaoyin meant. If she was here for this massacre, then she would be a witness. They were performing their duties, so it would be better for her to retreat a little. She smiled and said, “Then it will be troublesome for Lord Duan. I’ll let my maidservant bring me down to change my clothes and bandage my wounds first.”

The governor heaved a sigh of relief. Naturally, he agreed. Yun Xiao asked Chun Lan to leave the courtyard with him on her back. Then, she went to her carriage. There were some clothes on the carriage that could be changed off.

After leaving the courtyard, Guard Li looked at Yun Xiao worriedly, “Fourth Miss, how is your injury? Let me find a doctor to treat you first.”

Yun Xiao shook her head and laughed, “That’s good.” If she wasn’t afraid of arousing the suspicions of those people, Yun Xiao definitely wouldn’t want to call a doctor.

Guard Li sent Yun Xiao and Chun Lan to the carriage before turning around and leaving.

Yun Xiao changed the scorched clothes on her body in the carriage, took a pot of water, and cleaned her face, revealing her slightly pale face. She looked at Chun Lan with admiration, “You did well today, but I didn’t expect our Chun Lan to act well.”

Chun Lan had already cleaned herself up. Her face was slightly red and she coughed lightly. She looked at Yun Xiao worriedly and asked in confusion, “Young lady, are we going to be suspected like this?”

Yun Xiao chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, no one will suspect us when we have the doctor’s testimony again.” At the last moment when the fire engulfed the room, Yun Xiao brought Chun Lan out of the secret passage. In order not to arouse the suspicions of others, she had to take off her outer robe and burn it in the fire. After extinguishing the flames, she put it on again. Her face was also covered with a lot of black ash, so that no one would notice that they were faking it.

Even the wounds on his legs were fake. It was just that Yun Xiao had felt that it was interesting. Therefore, after Rong Jin made those two masks, the fake burn wounds that Rong Jin had made with the last bit of medicinal ingredients were unexpectedly used at this time. It was truly beyond his expectations.

However, when they were about to drill into the secret passageway, there was indeed a horizontal bar that almost smashed into their legs. Thanks to Chun Lan, they were able to survive.

However, Yun Xiao was still thinking about the mystery of today. Just who exactly had the means to exchange all the guards in the Yun Clan’s courtyard?

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran over and stumbled to the carriage. His expression was extremely ugly, “Fourth Miss, this is bad. The eldest young master is dead …”
