Cheng Muyou just sat in the woods in a daze, his eyes shifted from the cowhide bag to Xiao Wu, and then moved Xiao Wu back to the cowhide bag.
He felt that the blood all over his body had congealed into ice, almost bursting his blood vessels, and his body was tense, not daring to make any unnecessary movement.
Compared with ordinary people, he can be regarded as having experienced strong winds and waves, and has seen countless bizarre and strange things, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation in front of him, but he has never been so dazed and helpless as now, his brain is blank, he has stopped thinking, and he is like a sculpture, sitting in the muddy and slippery woodland, not moving.
I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of hurried footsteps not far away, and at the same time, a few shouts entered Cheng Muyou's ears, hitting his almost numb nerves one by one, "Xiao Wu, where are you, Xiao Wu" Cheng Muyou was shocked, hurriedly got up from the ground, and shouted loudly in the direction where the voice came from, "We are here, Xiao Wu has an accident, you are almost over" In the middle of his words, the other half was swallowed by himself, and he couldn't say a word again.
All this is because Xiao Wu on the ground suddenly opened his eyes, stood up with his hands on the ground, patted the dirty mud on his body, and turned his two eyes around a few times in his eye sockets, and suddenly stared at Cheng Muyou, but his eyes no longer had that innocent and eager look, but were filled with greedy and vicious eyes little by little.
"Xiao Wu, you" Cheng Muyou stood still, but the mystery in his heart finally found an exit, and was solved little by little by an invisible hand, "No, you are not Xiao Wu, you are not."
He said this sentence very firmly, and after he finished speaking, he waved the long sword in his hand and pressed it against the Adam's apple of "Xiao Wu".
"Xiao Wu" looked down at the blade of the sword that was clinging to his neck, and suddenly smiled nonchalantly, and then shouted in a panicked tone, "My lord, save me, Cheng Gongzi is the real murderer who killed Cen Nanying, he wants to kill people now, my lord, save me." ” Hearing this, Cheng Muyou was shocked, and just wanted to open his mouth to distinguish it, but saw that the other two officials had already run over, and there were several people behind them, who were the three members of the Cheng family who he left to guard the corpse.
Seeing that the three of them were still alive, Cheng Muyou breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the sword blade was still against Xiao Wu's neck, and he didn't dare to leave at all, and he opened his mouth to explain what had just happened to the two officials.
But before the words could be spoken, one of the family members jumped out from behind, pointed at Cheng Muyou with a frightened face, and said to the official who took the lead, "Official, my lord, it was this thief who attacked the three of us and threw us into the swamp. ” "What did you say?"
Cheng Muyou's body was shocked, and he looked at the family with burning eyes, and before long, he suddenly smiled, and his heart was clear.
He looked at the official in front of him who didn't know who to believe, and said in a low voice, "My lord, according to my speculation, these family members, as well as Xiao Wu, are no longer themselves. ” "Not themselves?
Cheng Gongzi, what are you talking about?
You put the sword down first, and we'll have something to say.
The official was even more confused, he stared at Xiao Wu for a long time, but he still didn't see any difference between his subordinate and the past.
Xiao Wu took the first step, "My lord, I found that the words of this surnamed Cheng were evasive, and there were quite doubts in his tone, so he was suspicious and prepared to return to meet the adult earlier, but he seemed to see that I was suspicious of him, so when I was hurrying away, he attacked me from behind, my lord, you don't believe the Cheng family, can't you still believe me?"
” Cheng Muyou looked at the face that pretended to be innocent, shook his head and sneered, "I don't have to distinguish with you here, my lord, I have been guarding the door of Fang Jing's house this afternoon, and I don't have time to come to the forest at all, there is another person besides me who knows about this matter, and when you find her, you can ask for clarification." ” The official who took the lead scratched his nose and asked, "Who is that person you are talking about?"
Where is he now?
” Cheng Muyou smiled frankly, "She is my entourage and the official of Xin'an Mansion, what she says, adults should always believe it." ” The official was taken aback, and then said, "Xin'an Mansion?
I heard that the county magistrate of Xin'an Mansion is also surnamed Cheng, could it be you Cheng Gongzi?
” Cheng Muyou nodded slightly, "Cheng didn't plan to reveal his identity today, but now he has been slandered by a traitor, so he has to explain it to you." ” Xin'an County made Cheng Muyou famous, and the official had also heard of it, so even if he bowed down, the title in his mouth was changed from Cheng Gongzi to Cheng Daren, "Cheng Daren, I don't know what happened just now, why these people insist that you are a murderer." ” Cheng Muyou saw that the faces of Xiao Wu and those family members gradually turned white, and their eyes began to flicker, so he knew that they were already weak-hearted, so he put down his sword and pulled the leading official to his side, even if he wanted to tell his guess truthfully.
But at this moment, a figure walked quickly in the torrential rain in the distance, seeing that the person was getting closer and closer, Cheng Muyou's face became even more relaxed, and he hurriedly beckoned to her, "It's a pity, you came just in time, these people slandered me as the murderer of Cen Nanying, you quickly tell this official my whereabouts in the past few days." ” As she spoke, Jiang Xixi had already walked to the side of several people, the rain soaked her eyebrows and hair, her lips were slightly whitened by the heavy rain, and only a pair of dark eyes were shining on her tight little face, which was a little different from what she usually looked.
Her gaze swept over several people one by one, and suddenly her knees bent, and she knelt down at the servant, and her voice overflowed with crying, "My lord, the little woman really can't help the wicked people hide it anymore, in fact, what happened here is all done by Lord Cheng, he saw that his sister-in-law was beautiful, so he wanted to force his sister-in-law to do that kind of thing with him, but the sister-in-law didn't comply, and this beast brutally killed her."
Later, when he knew that the people from the government were coming, he wanted to destroy all the evidence, so he simply didn't do anything, injured the guards and threw them into the swamp, and even threw the body of his sister-in-law into the swamp.
He also threatened me that if I told these words, he would never let me live well.
But my lord, how can I sit idly by and watch him commit all these evil deeds?
Sister-in-law, she was so good to me when she was alive, how could I let her be wronged?
Please also ask the adults to make decisions for the little ones and bring this beast to justice. ”
