When the words fell, Xiao Wu and the family members also knelt down at the official one after another, crying and asking him to make decisions for themselves.
When the official saw so many people kneeling down together, the words were all exactly the same, even if he didn't believe it, he believed it now.
So he looked at Cheng Muyou again, but his face had already lost the respect he had just now, "Master Cheng, I'm offended." ” After speaking, the official behind him walked behind Cheng Muyou, took his saber from his waist, and tied his hands behind his back with hemp rope, and the other end of the hemp rope was tightly tied to his wrist.
During the whole process, Cheng Muyou did not struggle, he knew that even if he tried his best now, he was not their opponent with his outnumber.
And Jiang regretted that they could find an opportunity to cut his throat with a sword when they resisted, so he completely lost the opportunity to turn over.
Therefore, he stood quietly and solemnly, and whispered to Jiang Xixi, "Xixi, you never call yourself a little girl, you said that it is simply unspeakably awkward to call yourself like this, but today, how can you say these three words so naturally?"
” Jiang Xixi was stunned by what he said, all his expressions froze in an instant, only a pair of eyes dodged in his sockets, and he didn't dare to look at him head-on.
Cheng Muyou smiled and snorted coldly from his nose, "It's a pity, you were seriously injured a year ago, do you remember where the wound is?"
” Jiang Xixi replied in a muffled voice, "I have never been injured at all. ” Cheng Muyou smiled faintly, "Sure enough, you don't regret it for a long time." ” Jiang Xixi's face turned blue, and he hid behind the crowd without saying a word, no longer giving him a chance to talk to him, but Cheng Muyou didn't let her go, he turned his head to look behind him, his eyes swept coldly over several people one by one, and said an inexplicable sentence in his mouth, "If you have that kind of disease, it should be better to live than to die, so you have to borrow other people's bodies to return to the yang, and want to walk in this world again in a dignified manner, I'm not wrong, right?"
” When he saw Cheng Muyou being escorted back to Cheng Mansion with his hands tied, all the people in the house were stunned, and Cheng Qishan didn't believe it at all, and even took the initiative to testify for Cheng Muyou, saying that on the night Cen Nanying disappeared, he stayed in Cheng Mansion and never went out.
Until Jiang Xixi asked rhetorically, "Does the eldest brother think that he stayed in Miss Yan's room all night?"
Cheng Qishan closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Jiang Xixi then continued, "That night, the lord asked me to guard the door of Miss Yan's room, making the illusion that he hadn't gone out all night, but in fact, he led my sister-in-law into the birch forest and did such a hurtful act. ” After saying these words, she looked sad, lay on the table and began to cry.
Cheng Qishan was completely shocked by her words, but even at this time, he still couldn't fully believe that his wife's death was related to Cheng Muyou, and he was just confused and anxious in his heart, but he couldn't make up his mind.
Seeing that Cheng Qishan had not spoken, those officials could not make decisions for him, so they could only wait on the side and wait silently.
But at this moment, Cheng Guoguang appeared.
Seeing his father's arrival, Cheng Qishan suddenly had a backbone, and just wanted to tell him the cause and effect of the incident, but Cheng Guoguang waved his hand at him, indicating that he had already heard about it.
He walked around to Cheng Muyou, his rough fingers almost touched the tip of his nose, and said word by word, "No wonder on the night of Nanying's accident, I saw you coming back in a panic in the attic, and there were still blood stains on your clothes, it turned out that it was really you, it was you." ” What happened next was expected by everyone, Cheng Muyou was pointed out by so many people, and he was tied up and locked in a firewood room in the backyard by the officials on the spot, and three people were left outside to guard to ensure that he could not escape.
Xun'er hid outside the door and witnessed the whole process of his father's arrest, although he didn't say a word, but he remembered these people in his heart: Cheng Guoguang, the official named Xiao Wu, several family members of the Cheng Mansion and Jiang Xixi, although he was greatly surprised when he saw that Jiang Xixi also joined the team accusing Cheng Muyou, but when he saw her eyes, he still thought about one thing from the bottom of his heart: she, like those people, was fascinated by her mind, although her appearance has not changed, But the person inside the shell was no longer her.
After thinking about all this, Xun'er gave up the idea of arguing and asking for help, and he returned to his room without saying a word, curled up in the quilt, and lay upright.
For the first time, he didn't cry this time, because the person who always disliked him for cowardice has now been locked up as a suspect, and although he can't do anything about it now, at least he can't be cowardly anymore.
The rain outside the window was still falling, and there was a great posture of fighting to the death, splitting his head and covering his face on the edge of the window, making a sound like a drum.
"Whoa".
The window was slammed open by a gust of wind, and the wind and rain rushed in, sweeping all the things on the windowsill to the ground, making a "crackling" sound.
Xun'er didn't want to care about it, but after lying on the bed for a long time, he still lifted the quilt and climbed out of bed, first walked to the window and closed the window that kept opening and closing, and then picked up the objects scattered on the ground one by one and put them back on the windowsill.
I just wanted to leave, but I caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye, black and slippery, lying in the inkstone, desperately squeezing my eyebrows at myself.
"Is that you?"
Xun'er was stunned for a moment, pinched it out of the inkstone, and put it in the palm of her hand to look at it carefully.
It turned out to be the mung bean he found outside the stove, since Yan Niang's accident, he put this bean on the windowsill casually, and never took care of it, he didn't think that a gust of wind just now, the bean was blown down, and it happened to fall into the inkstone.
Now it's covered in ink, and it's like a black bean.
However, regardless of mung beans and black beans, the face on it is still clearly visible, the eyebrows are eyebrows, the eyes are eyes, and the facial features are very distinct.
Not only that, but it was still saying something to Xun'er with its mouth wide open, just like that night.
"Don't say it anymore, I'm in a mess now, my father was arrested, and those people slandered him as the murderer of my aunt, and besides, everyone in this family has changed, one or two, I almost can't recognize it" Unconsciously, he told the human bean about the pain in his heart, and his voice gradually became choked, and he finally found someone to confide in, a listener who would never leak secrets, even if the other party was just a strange bean.
But before he finished speaking, his fingers slipped, and the beans fell on a piece of rice paper on the table, and they slid a few times and stopped moving.
