Su Rong didn't know what kind of family Mrs. Ji's maiden family was, so he just nodded before asking the reason.
After listening to Su Yao's words, he understood something and didn't say anything more. He glanced into the room, ignored the crying and shouting, and went to find Liao Jingxu to ask for someone.
Liao Jingxu was interrogating the people caught by Su Rong. When he heard Su Rong say that Second Madam Ji's mouth had been pried open and that he needed people to arrest people, he gave Su Rong two hundred palace soldiers without any hesitation and let Su Rong deploy them.
Xiao Heng was interrogating someone outside when he heard the noise outside and saw Su Rong through the window. He thought for a moment, winked at Sanjiu, came out, stopped Su Rong, and asked him what was the matter.
Su Rong explained the situation and raised his eyebrows, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be someone I know. I'll go over and take a look."
Hearing that it was the brother of Second Madam Ji's family who had killed someone and was threatened, Xiao Heng had already guessed that Second Madam Ji's mother and the Zhang family were being plotted against. He fixed his eyes on Su Rong, nodded after a moment and said, "Then be careful."
He couldn't leave here either. The people caught by Su Rong were being interrogated. The origins of these people were very suspicious, and some important things were found on them.
Su Rong agreed, turned around and went back to tell Su Yao that he had found all the people.
Mrs. Ji had cried so much that her voice was hoarse and she couldn't speak. She gestured that she wanted to take care of the fourth young master.
The fourth young master pushed her away. Now his heart was completely cold. His uncle had never been a serious person. Over the years, what he saw most was how his uncle repeatedly came to the house to ask for money, and tried to find various reasons to get money. But before, he also felt that his uncle, even if he was a little confused, was still a brother of his mother and he should be taken care of.
However, he did not expect that his kindness would turn into hatred and eventually lead to disaster.
He refused to pay attention to Mrs. Ji Er, who was crying uncontrollably and grabbing Mrs. Ji's hand in pain.
Mrs. Ji brushed her hand away calmly.
Su Yao was waiting outside, listening to the noise inside calmly. When she heard Su Rong say that everything was ready, she stood up and raised her eyebrows at Madam Ji in the room: "Madam, please stop crying and come with us first. We need your help with something."
Mrs. Ji originally didn't want to say a word to this foolish sister-in-law, but when she heard Su Yao said that he wanted to ask her for help, for the sake of the family, Mrs. Ji had to hold back her anger and said to Mrs. Ji II: "Instead of crying here, you might as well listen to the county lady. If you can make up for something, it can also be regarded as redeeming some of your mistakes."
In fact, if Mrs. Ji were to follow her own thoughts, she really didn't want to say a word to Mrs. Ji II.
Seeing her son's expressionless face, Mrs. Ji bit her lip and stood up. With a burning throat, she lowered her head and followed Su Yao out the door.
When they got on the carriage, Su Yao was still asking her, "After your brother killed someone, he fled back to your house? He has been living there? How did those people supervise you?"
Mrs. Ji had already drunk some water, and her throat was finally better. Upon hearing this, she rubbed her hands anxiously: "He killed someone and he fled back home. My parents didn't know what to do. At first they wanted to settle it with money, but they didn't want money and wanted my help. I was unwilling at first, but they let a dog bite off a part of my brother's finger in front of my parents..."
Even now, when Mrs. Ji talks about this incident, she still trembles with anger, and is shocked and afraid. During that period, that scene, the scene of her parents pointing their fingers at her, haunted her like a nightmare, and she finally couldn't bear it anymore and agreed to this ridiculous plan.
Su Yao has a different relationship with Ji's second wife.
A person must first be able to stand up for himself before he can find a way. Mrs. Ji wanted to save her brother, but she ended up harming so many other innocent people, even including her own son, daughter-in-law, and the lives of her husband's family. She is indeed not a wicked person, but this kind of confused person sometimes makes fatal mistakes.
When the carriage arrived at Zhang's house, Su Yao asked Madam Ji to knock on the door and said softly, "Just say what we agreed on before, and don't arouse your parents' suspicion."
Madam Ji nodded, got off the carriage, straightened her clothes, asked the old man guarding the door to go in and report, and took a deep breath at the door. Seeing the old man tremblingly coming out, she asked, "Where are my parents?"
The old man shook his head and said, "The young master said that the master and his wife have gone to bed. If you have anything to say, please come back tomorrow to talk."
It's so late, it's reasonable to rest.
But how could Mrs. Ji wait? She frowned and couldn't help getting angry: "I told you I have something important to do..."
Su Yao lifted the curtain and watched them arguing. Suddenly he frowned and called them "Brother" softly.
Su Rong immediately hummed and leaned towards the carriage, and heard Su Yao ask him to look: "Look at the old man's shoes."
Su Rong looked over as his sister said, and saw a dark water stain on the old man's shoes with thousand-layer soles. His eyes immediately darkened.
It wasn't water, nor was it dirt; it was blood.
The most common thing he saw recently was blood.
Su Rong no longer hesitated. He asked Qing Kun, He Jian and others to protect his sister. He led his men and pushed aside Madam Ji and the old man without saying a word, and rushed straight into the house.
Mrs. Ji was pushed hard. Before she could come to her senses, the old man had already collapsed to the ground. She kowtowed to the sky with sweat all over her forehead and couldn't help crying: "Oh, God, God!"
Su Yao sighed softly in the carriage. Mrs. Ji might not know it yet, but she guessed that Mr. Zhang and the others must have died.
Su Rong led his men straight in, and soon they heard the sound of fighting from inside. The sound of shouting and killing, and the sound of weapons colliding, frightened Mrs. Ji so much that her legs went weak. She originally wanted to rush in to see what was going on, but for some reason, she couldn't move her legs. She could only stand helplessly on the steps at the door, stunned like a stone statue.
After a while, someone rushed out from inside. The old man had no longer cared about Madam Ji. He kowtowed and ran away. Su Yao's people did not stop him. Now there was movement inside. Qing Kun was the most clever one. He immediately pulled Madam Ji and pulled her to the side of the carriage. Then the remaining guards all surrounded the carriage tightly to protect Su Yao's safety.
The seven or eight people who rushed out were not wearing uniforms. It was obvious at a glance that they were not the palace soldiers they brought with them. Qing Kun tensed up and heard Su Yao's cold voice commanding from inside: "Don't let them get away!"
