"Probably not!"
Mr. Xu had thought before that this matter might have been done by his uncle who was as thoughtful as a sieve, but when he thought about it carefully, he rejected this guess.
His little uncle is very evil-minded, and he either doesn't do things or doesn't do them right. Moreover, if he does this, he must get some benefits.
But what good would it do to him to attack and kill the three people in Xu Mansion
No!
Moreover, people from the Xu family died in this area. If anyone is the most suspected, it is naturally Mr. Zhao Er. After all, the grievances between the Zhao family and the Xu family are much older.
Mr. Xu told his analysis, and Mrs. Xu blinked and said, "Then, what if your uncle thinks so too?"
"No way?"
Mr. Xu scratched his head, not knowing how to continue talking.
He had to admit that the possibility mentioned by his wife was indeed possible.
But his uncle was too thoughtful to do such a stupid thing.
After pondering for a long time, Mr. Xu suddenly raised his head, looked at Mrs. Xu, and said anxiously: "Tell me, is it possible that it was directed and acted by oneself?"
"Direct and act on your own?"
Mrs. Xu repeated Mr. Xu's guess, "You mean that the person was sent by the Xu Mansion, and the murderer was also from the Xu Mansion. But what is the purpose?"
"Place the blame!"
Mr. Xu raised his finger and pointed at himself, "If it is really the Xu family who directed and acted, then they are probably trying to put the blame on me."
"But that doesn't make sense!"
Mrs. Xu chuckled, "Even if you want to frame the blame, there must be a reason!"
"These people haven't even entered the village yet. They haven't even had contact with us. They want to frame the blame on you. You don't even have a motive for killing. It's too low-level for them to frame the blame!"
"That's right!"
Mr. Xu instantly overturned his guess.
Since the person who took action could not be the Zhao family, and it was not to frame him, then who exactly killed the Xu family
Although the murderer left traces at the scene, it was impossible for Mr. Xu to check the place where the murderer shot arrows.
"Master, don't think too much!"
"Maybe it has nothing to do with us at all."
"As you said, the Xu Mansion has offended many people under the leadership of the old lady in recent years. And this old lady usually does not leave the Xu Mansion gate easily, so it is definitely necessary to come forward. It was the people around her, maybe they offended someone, which led to the murder."
Mrs. Xu's analysis is quite reasonable.
Mrs. Xu, who doesn't show up for big or small matters, relies on the people around her to handle whatever orders she has. The women around her definitely offended many people.
When they were in the capital, everyone was afraid of Xu Mansion's power and did not dare to do anything. But now, these people have left the capital and are far away from the Xu Mansion, and they may have been tricked by someone.
…
While Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were discussing this matter at home, Zuoqiu at the county government office also received news from Guan Laoqi.
"Who am I provoking?"
Zuoqiu's face turned ugly after hearing what the messenger said.
He is a small seventh-grade county magistrate, and he is about to be promoted, but why do he always have all kinds of troubles in the last period of time
A servant of the Xu family was killed!
What is this thing called
Zuoqiu felt extremely aggrieved, but had nowhere to vent.
He could only call Anshun County's Dian Shi and the police chiefs to come over and ask them to investigate the case.
However, not long after Dianshi and the catchers left, a masked man quietly appeared in front of Zuoqiu. After showing a token, he handed a letter to Zuoqiu.
Zuoqiu opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, glanced at it twice, then picked up the fire fold and lit the letter on fire.
"Excuse me, please go back and tell me that Zuo knows about it!"
Zuoqiu looked at the masked man who mysteriously appeared in front of him, took the seal on the table, stamped three seals on a blank piece of paper, and handed the paper to the other person.
"Farewell!"
When the masked man went out, he climbed over the wall and left.
Zuoqiu sat on a chair, looked at the letter that had burned to ashes, took 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 Mansion was shot dead 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, and it would be my style to make everything look like an accident!"
Zhao Rui doesn't have the temperament to do things he dares not to do.
Especially when facing Zhao Bingzhen, he had no need to hide anything.
Zhao Bingzhen pondered for a moment and said, "You didn't do it, then who do you think did it?"
"I don't know, I can't tell at all!"
"Before the three people were killed, the carriage they were riding in was frightened and rolled over. All three people should have been slightly injured."
"In other words, the person who took action first attacked the carriage they were riding in, and then killed the three of them."
Zhao Rui was not a cautious Mr. Xu. After he learned about the death of three members of the Xu family, he went to the scene to see the scene, and by the way found the woods where the archer was standing.
"This man has very powerful archery skills!"
"Three arrows fired in unison, killing three people at the same time. There is no master of this type of archery that my disciple knows!"
"The place where this person took action was sixty steps away from those three people."
"Even with a single arrow, if you have such archery skills, you will definitely be considered a leader in the army."
"Three arrows were fired simultaneously, killing three people at the same time sixty steps away. This method is simply amazing!"
Zhao Rui checked the scene and determined that only one person took action.
And the reason why he was sure that three arrows were fired at the same time was also judged from the posture of the three dead people lying on the ground.
If the three people were not hit by arrows at the same time, then when one of the three was hit by an arrow, the other two would definitely not have noticed it.
"It may not be three arrows fired at once!"
After hearing Zhao Rui's analysis, Zhao Bingzhen shook his head, "If a person can shoot arrows fast enough, it is possible to achieve this effect."
"Don't forget, you said that those three people were injured and supported each other on the road. Their reactions are definitely not comparable to those of normal people."
After hearing Zhao Bingzhen's words, Zhao Rui's expression slowly changed.
"Master, if things are as you guessed, then the person who took action is probably an archer in the army!"
"Maybe even a cyclone rider!"
Zhao Rui licked his lips, "But if it's the Tornado Rider, then what is King Yan's motive? Is it because of the relationship between Princess Yan and the Xu Mansion?" (End of Chapter)
