It was the afternoon, and the atmosphere in the Su family's big house was complicated and tense. The courtyard where Su Boyong lived seemed a little quiet, but everyone gathered inside and out. The door occasionally opened, and someone brought hot water in or some blood out. In the living room next to him, the old lady Su Yu leaned on his crutches and sat silently at the top, next to several old men on the side, Su Zhongkan. Su Yunfang was in the courtyard outside the door.
Su Tan'er was sitting next to the door with her mother, two aunts, and Ning Yi at the moment. Her mother and two aunts were crying in a low voice, and Xing'er Juan'er and Chan'er in the back were also wiping their tears. However, apart from the tears that Su Tan'er had been crying at the beginning of the incident, she wiped it off and did not cry again. Her sitting posture seemed to be the same as usual, but her hands tightly grasped the armrests of the chair, her fingertips were all over the place. Pale, with red eyes, he waited coldly for the next news, his father's or the captured murderer's.
When she just returned here, her hands were covered in blood, and her body was also splattered. If Ning Yi had not ordered Chan'er to fetch water and wash her hands, it is estimated that her hands were still blood red at this time. However, the clothes stained with blood have not been changed, and the hair on the temples is a little messy. She was still calm and sober, and there was not much Ning Yi could do. At this time, she could only wait and see the development.
The people in the yard are also some relatives who are close to the third room of the main department. If they leave the yard, those who are waiting for news are probably whispering, discussing the possible results of the matter, and the subsequent development, the pattern of the third room of the Su family. Etc., etc.
The assassin was caught on the spot, but he was not in the Su family at this time, but was taken to the yamen by the arresting fast that followed. At this time, the Su family could only listen to the preliminary news from the yamen. Just come.
Waiting silently, there was no good news from the people who came in and out of the bedroom. It was probably because the uncle was too seriously injured and was still receiving treatment. Occasionally someone came in in the yard and asked the situation in a low voice. At a certain moment, someone came over from the living room door and spoke in a low voice. Several people looked into the hall. One of them was Su Wengui, who had just arrived. He turned his eyes, gritted his teeth, and moved forward. Go in the door.
"Ning Yi, when you were there at the time, you couldn't take care of your uncle?"
A few days ago, everyone went to the brothel together, but by this time they had already turned their heads. The voice was low and short, indignant, Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, Su Wengui came over suddenly, grabbed Ning Yi's clothes angrily and pulled him up, the next moment, Ning Yi grabbed his wrist and twisted it casually , has pressed him to the post behind him with one hand.
"Let go of me, you useless thing..." Su Wengui also knew that he couldn't make a loud noise at this time, so he drank in a low voice. Ning Yi just tilted his head slightly and looked at him indifferently. In front of the living room, there was a bang, the sound of the crutches hitting the ground. The old lady Su stood up from there. At this time, his beard and hair were all white, but he was still hale and hearty. He, who was usually kind, was obviously holding back his anger at this time. Pushing it away, he walked slowly but steadily towards this side.
Seeing the old lady approaching, Su Wengui's eyes flashed a scheming look: "Let go of me... Third grandpa, third grandfather, look at him..." He struggled a few times, Ning Yi looked at it for a moment, and sighed inwardly. Let go of his hand and ignore it. There were whispers outside, all watching this scene, Su Wengui staggered a few steps: "Ha, third grandpa, look at him..." Only when he turned around, he saw Su Yu staring at him, the old man's expression was full of anger, He suddenly waved the crutch in his hand, before Su Wengui finished speaking, he pouted, his face was bloody, and the crutch was mercilessly waved on his head.
"It's all about this time..." Ning Yi turned around, lowered his head and walked over to the place where he had just sat, and whispered, Su Wengui was beaten, and he almost stumbled out of the hall from behind him, tripping his feet. On the threshold, fell to the ground. When struggling to turn around, the skin on the left side of his face was ripped open, and blood and half a tooth were spitting out of his mouth. The old lady's crutches stopped on the ground and came over step by step.
"It's about this time..." The old man shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Put away your cleverness!"
In such a situation just now, Su Wengui came in and made a noise, no matter if it was justified or not, after that everyone was afraid to say that the son-in-law was there at the time, how it was. It's just that this kind of thing falls into the eyes of Ning Yi or Mrs. Su, and there is nothing they don't understand. The three houses of the Su family competed. What the old lady wanted was stability. What he never wanted to see was a tear between the brothers. This time the matter has not yet been finalized, but if we look at the results, these two knives can directly bring down the entire big house. Who knows if the other two rooms may be involved.
The matter is undecided, and the most urgent thing in the old lady's mind at the moment may be to prevent any form of infighting in the Su family. Su Wengui is playing such a little trick here. This old man who has been charitable for many years finally broke out. He walked slowly out of the threshold, glanced at the people who were whispering outside, and then sighed.
"It's irrelevant, it's okay, don't crowd in the yard... go out and wait."
In the crowd, Su Yunfang nodded and waved his hands around. Many people in the yard started to go out one after another. The old man said again, "Take Wengui out too." Then a servant came to help Su Wengui.
Regarding Su Wengui's extreme stupidity, Ning Yi only thought it was absurd from the very beginning, and he was somewhat smart, and was even called a wise star by several of his peers. At this time, he didn't know where it was used. He stood there and glanced at it, then turned and sat down. When he put his hand on the armrest, the other hand also came over. Su Tan'er still sat there with pursed lips, just put his hand on the back of his hand. , holding it tightly, his fingertips trembled slightly, and turned his head to look at him. Ning Yi nodded, put her hand under her palm, and patted it lightly.
Someone came out of the bedroom over there again. At this time, Su Yunfang was supporting the old lady in the corridor. That person came to report a few words, which was probably similar to the previous statement. In fact, Ning Yi probably knows that this kind of injury will definitely not survive the life-threatening for the first few days. If there is any definite news right now, it will probably be the worst news, but for the time being, we can only wait here.
With the help of Su Yunfang, the old lady turned around and walked back. He stopped for a while when he passed by Ning Yi and Su Tan'er. He reached out and patted Ning Yi and Su Tan'er's hands a few times. With a complicated expression, he finally nodded and said, "You two, be good." He turned around and walked over to the seat. After all, it's not time to explain anything...
After a while, several of the stewards of the Su family who went to the yamen came back and reported the situation.
"... The culprit who stabbed the uncle was named Chen Er. It is said that he was originally from Jiayu in Ezhou. According to him, my Su family opened a shop in Ezhou three years ago and reclaimed the land. His mother died because of this, so he and his family moved to a low-lying place to live. It was also flooded this year. His home was too low to escape in time, and his wife and children died because of the flood. So this time, when he went to Jiangning, he saw Su My family suddenly had the intention to kill. This person… has clear signs, clear quotations, and speaks Ezhou accent dialect…”
After the steward said this, he lowered his head and paused slightly: "But when we communicated with a few acquaintances in the government office, the joints couldn't get through. Butler Chen said that the official errand went a little fast at that time, and at this time, we can't do anything about it. I can't get in touch with that Chen Er... Some people are afraid that they have already managed everything before us. Once the trial is officially opened in a few days, even if Chen Er is sentenced to death, I am afraid that... "
Here Su Tan'er listened quietly, her eyes did not change, but her hands became more and more forceful. There was a bang, and the old lady's crutch slammed into the ground, gritted her teeth and said, "This matter is not just about Boyong. Someone... is going to touch my Su family... "
Businessmen value their reputations, and the reasons that force their families to break down. Once they are tried and passed on by someone with a heart, it will be a heavy blow to the entire Su family. This person not only stabbed someone, but also caused the situation in the third room of the Su family to be tilted, and in turn, he had to bite the entire Su family. Su Yunfang turned gloomy over there: "Xue Family?"
Su Zhongkan shook his head: "It's hard to say."
The old lady was silent for a moment: "Go check again. Use all available connections to check Chen Er's background. Inside and outside the city, check all the way to Ezhou, let the shopkeeper in charge of Ezhou find out if this happened three years ago. , the official side also continued to inquire... He chose to start after the city gate was closed, killing people and biting back... This person has vicious methods and deep scheming. Visiting some people..."
After saying this, the old lady leaned on crutches and got up and went out: "If Boyong's injury is settled, send someone to tell me." Then he also comforted Su Tan'er's mother and two aunts. When he walked out of the threshold, he looked at Looking at the bloodstains under the corridor, it took a long while to tap with a cane: "Don't condone it any more, this is such a stupid thing."
After speaking, the old man went out all the way with the help of the little servant girl.
No matter how serious the injury is, it cannot be rescued all the time, and the treatment will always come to an end. Towards the evening, the doctor finally did his job.
"The uncle is still in a coma. I'm afraid of danger these few days. I don't know if I can get through this hurdle, but there is still hope. It's just... Madam, young lady, and uncle have to be mentally prepared, mainly because of the stab wound on the back. As for the back, even if the uncle can survive, I am afraid that both legs will be paralyzed after this... If it is only the legs, I am afraid it is the best situation... "
After saying this, Su Tan'er's mother shook suddenly, and then fainted.
The setting sun burned magnificent clouds in the sky, and the entire Su Mansion was already moving at this time. As for people in this courtyard here, some people are surprised, some people cry, and some people faint. At this time in this big busy house, it's just a small matter...
More, more complex, and more dangerous things may have been waiting in the night ahead...
