"It shouldn't be!"

Mr. Xu had thought before that it might be his little uncle who was as smart as a sieve, but when he thought about it carefully, he rejected the guess.

His little uncle has a lot of hearts, and he either doesn't do it, or it doesn't leak, and he always has to get some benefits from doing this.

But what good would it do to him to kill the three people in the Xu residence?

No!

Moreover, the people from the Xu residence died in this area. If anyone was to be the most suspect, it would naturally be none other than Master Zhao Er. After all, the grievances between the Zhao family and the Xu family are more and more old.

Mr. Xu explained his analysis again, and Mrs. Xu blinked and said, "Then, what if your little uncle thinks the same way?"

"No way?"

Mr. Xu scratched his head, not knowing how to go on.

He had to admit that the possibility mentioned by his daughter-in-law was indeed there.

But his little uncle's heart won't do such a stupid thing.

After pondering for a long time, Mr. Xu suddenly raised his head, looked at Mrs. Xu, and said anxiously, "You said, is it possible that he directed and acted by himself?"

"Self-directed and self-acted?"

Old Madam Xu repeated Old Man Xu's guess, "You mean that the person was sent by the Xu residence, and the murderer was also from the Xu residence. But what's the purpose?"

"Bring the blame!"

Mr. Xu raised his finger and pointed at himself, "If it's really the Xu family who directed and acted, then it's very likely that they're trying to put the blame on me."

"But, it doesn't make sense!"

Mrs. Xu laughed, "Even if you want to frame the blame, there must be a reason!"

"These people haven't entered the village yet, and they have no contact with us. They want to blame you. You don't even have a motive for murder. They are too low-level to frame the blame!"

"That's right!"

Mr. Xu instantly overturned his guess.

Since the person who shot it can't be the Zhao family, and it's not to frame him, then, who killed the people of the Xu residence?

Although the murderer left traces on the scene, it was impossible for Mr. Xu to check the site where the murderer shot arrows.

"Master, don't think too much!"

"Maybe, it has nothing to do with us at all."

"As you said, under the leadership of the old lady over the years, the Xu residence has offended a lot of people. And this old lady usually doesn't easily leave the gate of the Xu residence, so I'm sure to come forward. It was the people around her, maybe it was these people who offended someone, and that led to the murder."

Mrs. Xu's analysis, let alone, is quite reasonable.

Mrs. Xu, who does not appear in big or small matters, always relies on the people around her to do whatever she asks. The women around her are definitely not in the minority.

When they were in the capital, everyone was afraid of the power of Xu Mansion and did not dare to do anything. But now, these people have left the capital and are far away from the Xu residence, and they may be under the black hand by someone.

...

When Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were discussing the matter at home, Zuoqiu at the county office also received news from Guan Laoqi.

"I am provoking who to provoke who?"

Zuoqiu listened to the words of the reporter, and his face was ugly.

He was a small seventh-rank county magistrate, and he was about to be promoted, but why did all kinds of troubles always appear in the last period of time?

The servants of Xu's house, who belonged to the three princes, were killed!

What is this called?

Zuoqiu felt extremely aggrieved, but he had nowhere to vent.

He could only call the Dianshi and the head arresters of Anshun County to come and ask them to investigate the case.

However, not long after Dianshi and the head arresters left, a masked man quietly appeared in front of Zuoqiu, showed a token, and handed a letter to Zuoqiu.

Zuo Qiu opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, only glanced at it twice, then picked up the fire fold and set the letter on fire.

"I'm bothering your Excellency to go back and say it, and let Zuo know!"

Zuo Qiu looked at the masked man who appeared mysteriously in front of him, took the seal on the table, stamped three seals on a blank piece of paper, and handed the piece of paper to the other party.

"Farewell!"

The masked man went out, jumped over the wall and left.

Zuo Qiu was sitting on a chair, looking at the letter paper that had been burned to ashes, let out a long breath, and slowly closed his eyes.

...

At the Sanhe Town Inn, Zhao Bingzhen had already received the news that someone in the Xu residence was shot and killed on the road from Lingshui Village to Sanhe Town.

After receiving the news, he immediately called Zhao Rui.

"Master, don't look at me like this, I really didn't do this!"

"If I did it, I would definitely do it without anyone noticing it, and absolutely everything is like an accident. It's my style!"

Zhao Rui is not the temperament that dares to act.

Especially in the face of Zhao Bingxiao, he has no need to hide at all.

Zhao Bingzheng pondered for a moment and said, "You didn't do it, so who do you think did it?"

"I don't know, I can't see it at all!"

"Before the three were killed, the carriage they were riding in was frightened and rolled over, and all three should have suffered some injuries."

"That is to say, the person who shot them first attacked the carriage they were riding in, and then killed the three of them."

Zhao Rui is not the cautious old man Xu. After knowing the news of the death of the three Xu family members, he went to the scene to watch it, and by the way, he found the woods where the archer was standing.

"This person has a very powerful archery!"

"Three arrows are fired at once, and three people are shot at the same time. There is no master of this archery that Tu'er knows!"

"The place where this person shot is sixty steps away from the three."

"Even if it is a single arrow, with such archery skills, it is definitely regarded as a leader in the army."

"Three arrows fired at the same time, shooting three people at the same time from sixty steps away, this method is simply amazing!"

Zhao Rui inspected the scene and determined that there was only one person who shot.

And the reason why he was sure that three arrows were fired at once was also judging from the posture of the three dead and falling to the ground.

If the three people are not shot at the same time, then, after one of the three is shot, the other two will definitely not be unaware.

"It may not be three arrows at once!"

After listening to Zhao Rui's analysis, Zhao Bingzhen shook his head, "If one shoots arrows fast enough, it is possible to achieve this effect."

"Don't forget, as you said, those three people were injured and supported each other on the road. Their reactions are definitely not as good as normal people."

Hearing Zhao Bingzheng's words, Zhao Rui's expression slowly changed.

"Master, if things are like what you guessed, then the person who shot is likely to be an archer in the army!"

"Even, it may be a whirlwind ride!"

Zhao Rui licked his lips, "But if it's a whirlwind ride, then, what is King Yan's motive? Is it because of the relationship between Princess Yan and Xu Mansion?"
