Reborn girl from poor family

Chapter 97 Closing the Net (1)

There were people on the left and right who had already caught up with him, but they were all lost in the darkness and could not be seen.

Cao Kaihe looked at his daughter, his face instantly became gloomier, but he still patted Cao Qingyuan's back comfortingly, "Go home first."

"Dad, Uncle Ming died unjustly. If you catch these people and take them to the sentencing hall, you will be able to bring Uncle Ming out." Cao Qingyuan burst into tears, grabbing Cao Kaihe's sleeves and sobbing non-stop.

At this time, some soldiers who were searching the house came over and handed something to Cao Kaihe. Immediately, some people raised the lamps higher so that Cao Kaihe could see clearly.

However, Cao Kaihe pushed the light pole away suddenly, put the object in his hand into his sleeve, and asked in a deep voice: "Have you done an autopsy?"

The soldier replied in a low voice: "After testing, it is indeed an eunuch."

Cao Kaihe's face was livid under the dim firelight. He suddenly shook his sleeves, turned around and said, "Go home!"

The questions and answers were kept very low, and they deliberately avoided Cao Qingyuan who was not far away.

Cao Qingyuan was frightened and full of grievances. She was waiting for Cao Kaihe to comfort her after he finished the business, but she was staggered when her angry father threw away his sleeves.

But she saw that Cao Kaihe seemed to be unaware and walked straight away with his people. She immediately noticed something was wrong, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions and followed him back obediently.

Cao Qingyuan didn't know that Cao Kaihe led people to kill several eunuchs, and the soldiers took off their clothes after conducting autopsies and deliberately avoided them, so she only felt that the key points were in that waist card.

What is the difference between that waist card and how it can make Cao Kaihe's attitude change drastically?

She thought Cao Kaihe was angry at her for taking her own initiative, but she didn't know that the situation was worse than she imagined. After entering Linqing Uncle's Mansion, Cao Kaihe directly ordered her to be locked up in the boudoir, "not allowed to leave even an inch!"

"Daddy!"

Cao Qingyuan was so shocked that she did not miss the look of disgust on Cao Kaihe's face before he threw away his sleeves.

She stared blankly, picking at the crack in the door and watching.

After the door was locked and locked, and the windows were nailed and bolted, Cao Qingyuan didn't move.

The father who once regarded her as the apple of his eye seemed to have suddenly become an extremely strange person...

That night, the study room of Linqing Uncle's Mansion was lit all night long. At dawn, several staff members came out of the study room with dejected faces. A personal attendant followed him out with a greeting card in his hands, and hurriedly passed everyone and left the house.

When he was going out, a yamen servant passed by him and said to the concierge: "I'm in charge of the yamen, so go and report it quickly."

The follower hesitated for a moment, then walked away again.

The prosecutor is retrying the assassination case today. The speed is unexpectedly fast. Is there any new progress after just one day?

"The reply from Lord Governor Cao has been sent urgently. The matter is serious and cannot be delayed. The punishment will be re-tried."

The yamen servant replied respectfully, complaining in his heart that he was really unlucky. The day before yesterday, he served the chief soldier for half a night, and today he was sent to report a message. He saw that this gentleman's face was darker than the day before. Gods from all walks of life blessed him.

He must not embarrass his little government servant.

When the gods heard this, Cao Kaihe didn't ask any more questions and waved him to exit.

The young yamen servant relaxed on his feet, lowered his head and walked quickly outside. Suddenly he heard someone talking outside the wall——

"Really locked up?"

"Then there's still a lie? They're all nailed up, except for one person who's waiting for you personally."

"Were those two personal followers really beaten to death?"

"At least half-dead is always possible. Now I can't tell whether it is better to be captured by a gangster or someone else. Hey, go back and remind your aunt that you must be more vigilant these two days..."

The yamen servant stopped and didn't know whether he should go forward or not.

Can’t we avoid talking about the secrets of this wealthy family? Who wants to hear it?

It seems that things are not peaceful in the General Military Mansion.

The young yamen servant suddenly felt very relaxed.

Cao Kaihe, who was forced to change his itinerary, was not happy at all. The perfect day to close the net was disrupted by Cao Qingyuan, and he felt very angry at this moment.

After being served, his old face was rubbed with a hot towel, and he had his breakfast with a sullen face. Cao Kaihe considered everything in his mind.

I am overjoyed at the moment - today in the execution hall, the net buried for Qiu Naicheng can be collected;

For a moment, he was worried that the unscrupulous and foolish woman was acting out her will for Xu Ming, and got him into trouble that he shouldn't have caused at this juncture. He originally wanted to come to the house early in the morning to clean up the mess, but now he had to change the date.

That’s all, grasp the big ones and let go of the small ones, pick up the important ones first and keep them away.

At the same time, Shen Huai was also drinking porridge with a smile.

Yan's craftsmanship is really good, and the thick and fragrant porridge goes into your stomach so perfectly that it's not in vain that he came here early in the morning to support it.

Su Ya held her chopsticks and ate her meal without saying a word. She looked at him silently. She felt that as time went by, this person became more and more like a fox.

She originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask about the situation, but Yan was not as usual now. Whenever Shen Huai came over, she was always there.

In short, Shen Huai and she had no time to be alone together.

Su Ya suspected that Yan was doing it on purpose, but she couldn't ask openly, so she had to give Liu Sandian a wink. But Liu Sandian kept his head down while eating and simply ignored her.

Shen Huai just treated Yan as if nothing had happened.

"Master Shen," she put down her chopsticks, cleared her throat, and asked seriously: "Today the sentencing is in court again, won't you go?"

"It's still early, I can make it in time."

Shen Huai picked up a piece of scallion pancake and looked at it appreciatively before taking a bite.

Fresh green onions are wrapped in the dough and fried over low heat until they turn orange. The tangy aroma is simple yet comforting.

"Isn't it rushed to retrial so soon?" Su Ya couldn't help but worry, "Didn't it mean they worked together to dig a hole? If the governor doesn't come back, can Liu Yun hold on?"

"Worried?" Shen Huai ate so deliciously that he added another bowl, chewed and chatted while still maintaining his demeanor.

Su Ya rolled her eyes. After Sun Po became Song Jin, she had been avoiding her for the past two days. If he was still here, she would definitely start to fight with her now.

Can she not worry?

In order to find Shen Huai, Cao Kaihe's group of people had already put themselves in Shen Huai's camp. Coupled with the hole dug for Cao Qingyuan last night, she now wished that the Cao family was in trouble.

If the cruel and vicious Xu Ming could still get a good reputation for dying in the line of duty after his death, she would probably be heartbroken.

Moreover, he just learned the origin of the pig iron concealed weapon from Yuan Yutao yesterday. It has only been one night. Has he obtained the evidence?

Su Ya was so worried that her eyebrows were raised, and she looked helplessly at Shen Huai eating deliciously. Is this guy heartless?

Shen Huai bathed in Su Ya's caring gaze and felt comfortable all over.

Gao Jun squatted at the small table next door and took a clear look at the scene here from the corner of his eyes. He thought that this was his master's affection. He looked bad and naive. After being with him for many years, he finally felt that his master was like an ordinary person.

After Qiu Naicheng left in the early morning, Xu Yuan came back to report the news about Cao Kaihe's rescue of Cao Qingyuan. At that time, Shen Huai said with a smile: "I'm afraid there is really no need to investigate the Zazao Bureau."

He asked curiously. Shen Huai seemed to be in a good mood and did not hesitate to ask: "Why do you think Governor Cao came here late at night?"

"Not an alliance?"

"Over there, Cao Kaihe has dug a big pit for him to make private weapons and train private soldiers, but I have already reached the bright side of safety. Why does he think I will accept it?"

Gao Jun was speechless, trying desperately to recall the conversation between Shen Huai and Qiu Naicheng, the back and forth push and pull, true and false, false and true, could there be another mystery?

Xu Yuan showed his disgust at the side and said to Shen Huai: "Master, why don't you pay attention to cultivating a few smart people. I think this piece of wood is really unreasonable."

Then when Gao Jun heard the sound of heartbreak, he finally showed some love: "Did Governor Cao reveal everything about Zazao Bureau when he displayed the hidden weapon of pig iron?"

"Ang, I told you. He is not instigating the young master. Please pay attention to the punishment and no one reminds him?"

"This is just one of them. What Cao Du really means is to tell the young master that all the holes dug by Cao Kaihe are under his control."
