【I am here】
There is a market in Feiyan Town today. read
М
Aunt Bai asked when she went to deliver shoes to Su Liang yesterday. She knew they weren't going to the market, so she didn't call them.
The town was very lively. Two soldiers shouted "get out of the way" and their horses galloped past. After causing a brief panic, they quickly returned to normal.
In the county government office, Mu Luo had a stack of case files in front of him, which were about several cases of missing girls that had occurred in Bei'an County in recent years.
After he sent Chang'an to find Su Liang last night, he went through the case file again. The original intention was to find excuses for the Wu family and his son, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that those cases were inseparable from Wu Yun and Wu Huaian.
"At that time, Mr. Ning said that Miss Su was asleep, but I didn't dare to break in. The matter was so important, he wouldn't hide it from Miss Su, right?" Chang'an frowned.
Mu Luo thought thoughtfully, "Wu Yun sent someone to ask Su Liang to treat his son during the day. Later, Su Liang disappeared. Ningjing reported the case. I have official business and took people to search the Wu family..."
Changan was stunned, "Miss Su is missing? When did it happen?"
Mu Luo shook his head, "She's fine. This is a new plan I thought of. I just need her to hide for the time being and not show up. Plus there are these real cases of missing women, I don't think she will refuse."
Chang'an understood, "Master is saying that if Miss Su disappears and Mr. Ning reports to the police that the Wu family and his son have serious suspicions, we can go to the Wu family to find someone?"
"That's right." Mu Luo nodded.
"But if this happens, won't it alert the enemy?" Chang'an asked.
Mu Luo snorted, "It's too easy to hide things like account books secretly. I originally planned to let Su Liang take advantage of the opportunity of treating Wu Huaian to sneak into the Wu family to look for it, but this method is very risky. And it was almost impossible to succeed. She was right to refuse. Iron ore smuggling was not the only shameful thing the Wu family did. It was extremely difficult to find evidence of the crime first, so it was better to capture the people first. They were using it to contain the conspirators. It will not be destroyed easily.”
After saying this, Mu Luo wrote a letter and handed it to Chang'an, asking him to deliver it to Su Liang, "Don't show up, find someone else."
As soon as Chang'an took the letter and went out, guards came to report. General Wu Lao sent someone.
Mu Luo intuitively felt that something was wrong, otherwise Wu Yun would not have taken the initiative to contact him.
"It's an urgent matter. Master Mu, please leave for the Wu family immediately!"
Mu Luo's eyes flashed slightly, "General Wu has invited me, and I dare not neglect it. Unfortunately, I am busy with official duties and can't get away. If I don't know what is going on, I can't go rashly."
After the two people who arrived looked at each other, one of them said, "Someone kidnapped my young master."
Mu Luo looked surprised, "Such a thing happened in broad daylight? Who did it? It's so outrageous!"
"Master Mu will find out when he goes there."
Mu Luo became less anxious when he heard that the person was being cryptic, "A man or a woman? Maybe he is a suspect in an old case that I am investigating."
"woman."
Mu Luo's heart was moved, but there was a look of indignation on his face, "You are so brave that you dared to kidnap General Wu's son. What is your intention? I will take someone with you right now!"
…
The sun climbed overhead.
In late autumn and early winter, there are cool breezes and little warmth from the sun.
Wu Yun and Su Liang had been confronting each other for nearly two hours.
The wound on Wu Huaian's neck was not deep, but thin threads of blood kept seeping out. He was already in poor health, and now his face was as pale as gold paper and he couldn't stand.
Wu Yun had Wu Huaian's wheelchair brought in, medicine to stop the bleeding, and water and food.
Su Liang refused them all and did not allow anyone to get close to her.
Poison technique is Su Liang's shortcoming, but compared to endurance and will, she is not afraid of it.
Wu Yun kept staring at Su Liang, waiting for the moment when she was tired and distracted to fight back and save Wu Huaian.
But as time passed, Wu Yun was shocked, because he found that Su Liang's eyes became clearer and clearer.
As a veteran, he knows how difficult it is.
This woman is no ordinary person!
If we could turn back time, just go back to yesterday, Wu Yun and Wu Huaian would definitely not provoke Su Liang again.
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world.
"Master Mu is here!"
Hearing a loud shout, Su Liang did not turn around immediately. She knew that if she let down her guard, she might be killed by the masters arranged by Wu Yun in the dark.
Mu Luo came on horseback and saw a slender figure from a distance, which was not unfamiliar.
Although the person sent by Wu Yun was vague and did not explain the identity of the person who kidnapped Wu Huaian, Mu Luo had already made a guess.
The moment I saw him, he guessed it.
What's even more coincidental is that what happened at this moment was exactly what Mu Luo expected.
The surprise on Chang'an's face could not be concealed. Last night, Ningjing clearly said that Su Liang was asleep. How could she come to Wu's house alone and arrest Wu Huaian? Mu Luo said that the Wu family had iron walls and was heavily guarded. How did Su Liang do this? And why do this?
"Miss Su?" Mu Luo exclaimed after seeing Su Liang's face, "How could it be you?"
Su Liang said coldly, "Master Mu is finally here. I was fine at home last night, but for some reason I suddenly passed out. When I opened my eyes again, I was at the Wu family."
Mu Luo frowned and looked at Wu Yun, "General Wu, what's going on?"
In name, he was a veteran general and a small county magistrate, but Wu Yun knew that Mu Luo was the fourth prince Duanmu Chen, and Mu Luo also knew that Wu Yun knew his identity.
Mu Luo's identity cannot be revealed in public, but there is no need to act deliberately.
Therefore, Mu Luo had no humility at all in front of Wu Yun, only some superficial politeness.
Wu Yun naturally did not dare to act arrogantly in front of Mu Fei, and even had to be very cautious to avoid things from going out of control.
Wu Yun sighed deeply, "Lord Mu, this is all a misunderstanding. I learned that there was a girl with great medical skills in Sujia Village, so I wanted to find her to treat my son Huai'an's leg disease. I sent someone to invite her, but Miss Su refused to come. I was also for my son, and I was impulsive. I wanted to invite Miss Su first and apologize to her later. She is so kind that she will definitely understand my love for my son. But I didn't expect Miss Su to be so angry. No matter how I explained, she refused to listen..."
Chang'an was stunned. What Mu Fei planned happened ahead of time.
Mu Fei looked serious, "General Wu is saying that you drugged Su Liang without her consent and kidnapped her from home?"
Wu Yun sighed repeatedly, "I have no ill intentions and have not done anything to hurt her. I just want her to treat my son. Lord Mu, please persuade her to let my son go."
Su Liang sneered, "General Wu said so high-soundingly, it sounds like I don't know what's good for me and make a fuss? When did I refuse you when you sent someone to ask me for medical treatment? I just said I couldn't see you. General Wu thinks highly of my medical skills and loves his son so much, why can't he bring your son to Sujia Village to find me?"
Wu Yun looked grim, "Huai'an's health makes it inconvenient to go out."
"It sounds like your son is bedridden and dying. But isn't he going out? And he doesn't need a wheelchair and can stand." Su Liang snorted.
Wu Yun's face was as gloomy as water. "Miss Su, I have explained the whole story to you and apologized to you. You asked Lord Mu to come and take you back, and now he is here. What compensation do you want? Just ask. Until now, you are still unwilling to let my son go. What do you want?"
"General Wu avoided answering my questions, how can Lord Mu believe your words?" Su Liang had no intention of letting Wu Huaian go, "Now, it's my turn to speak."
"Miss Su, just say whatever you want, I will definitely make the decision for you. But be careful not to hurt Mr. Wu by mistake!" Mu Fei said seriously.
"I saw General Wu kidnap me. After I woke up, I offered to treat Master Wu, but he refused. He said that all the famous doctors in the world couldn't help, so what could I do at such a young age? The reason why I was captured was that his father, who loved his son so much, couldn't bear to see him lonely, so he carefully selected beautiful women in Bei'an County for him to have fun. I was chosen not because of my medical skills, but because of my appearance. If I don't want to die, I have to obey him and let him do whatever he wants." Su Liang's voice was clear and cold, reaching everyone present.
Wu Yun was furious, and several interruptions could not stop Su Liang from finishing his words. He wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Chang'an.
Wu Huaian was no longer conscious and was about to faint. He heard Su Liang's words and moved his lips, but was unable to refute.
Mu Fei looked shocked, "Miss Su, are you accusing General Wu and Young Master Wu of robbing a woman?"
Su Liang said coldly, "Didn't General Wu admit this as soon as he opened his mouth? I am here, and I am the most direct evidence! Since General Wu asked me to practice medicine and I didn't listen to his explanation, then please tell Lord Mu, how did you let Wu Huaian be alone in a room with me? Otherwise, how would I have the opportunity to hold him hostage and walk out of it?"
Mu Fei's face became serious, and he looked at the extremely angry Wu Yun, "General Wu, do you take her words seriously?"
"Nonsense! It's my fault for bringing her here! But what she said is not true! She is slandering me and Huaian! She is talking nonsense!" Wu Yun shouted angrily.
"Why did Young Master Wu fall into her hands?" Mu Fei asked coldly.
"That's because she pretended to agree to treat Huai'an, and I believed her and listened to her request to leave her alone with Huai'an in the room! But I didn't expect that as a doctor, she would be so petty and cruel!" Wu Yun blurted out his words, and it was obvious that he had prepared them in advance.
Mu Fei looked at Su Liang again, "You both have your own opinions, and I don't know who to believe. How about this, you release Mr. Wu first, and I promise to investigate it thoroughly and do justice."
Chang'an was stunned for a moment, and then he thought that Mu Fei did it on purpose. He must be biased towards Wu Yun and Wu Huai'an on the surface, so that the next thing will be easier to handle.
Su Liang snorted coldly, "General Wu said that I was making a fuss, which is true. And the reason why I asked Lord Mu to come here is to ask Lord Mu, do you know that several young girls in our Bei'an County have mysteriously disappeared in recent years?"
Wu Huai'an, who had not yet fainted, shook his body obviously.
And Wu Yun's face sank!
Mu Fei was delighted, everything was going in the direction he wanted. He now believed that Su Liang was kidnapped by Wu Yun after he went to Chang'an last night and learned about the missing girl.
But in fact, Su Liang knew about the missing girl not last night.
This matter was not a secret in Bei'an County.
Last year, a 15-year-old girl was lost in Liujia Village next to Sujia Village. The girl was a relative of Bai Xiaohu's grandmother.
After Su Liang and Ning Jing became siblings from husband and wife, Bai Peng's wife Liu specifically told her about the incident and told her not to go out alone and be careful of strangers.
Village head Su Bai also told Su Liang specifically that the girls who were lost were the most beautiful girls in the village, and she would be easily targeted.
At that time, Su Liang jokingly thanked Su Bai for his compliments, but Su Bai sternly warned her with a stern face that he must take it seriously.
However, Liu, Su Bai and other people who knew about the missing girl case all thought that there was a gang that trafficked girls in Bei'an County. Su Liang also thought so when she first learned about it.
Until she was arrested and brought to Wu's house and met Wu Huaian.
Wu Huaian's performance made Su Liang suspect that she was arrested because he wanted to play with women.
So she thought of those mysteriously missing girls.
Human traffickers don't have such clever means, leaving no clues, and they don't have such patience to catch one after half a year.
But Wu Yun and Wu Huaian, father and son, have everything.
This reminded Su Liang of what he saw in the news in his previous life. A foreign military officer with a high status and position, in order to satisfy his perverted desires, wantonly killed women in the area around the station, but no one suspected him for a long time.
Who would suspect Wu Yun and Wu Huaian? A veteran with great military exploits and a young general who was disabled for the country, both of them were of high status and respected.
But if this kind of person has bad intentions and wants to do evil, he will be more hidden and more outrageous than those evil people who are open.
If Su Liang didn't ask Mu Feng to come, she would have a way to get away, but she didn't plan to leave so easily.
Not only for her own future safety, but also for those girls who may have met with accidents.
If she doesn't kill this father and son, she won't be named Su!
Mu Fei's expression was shocked, "I am investigating the unsolved case of the missing women."
"I have reason to suspect that those things were done by General Wu and Wu Huaian. I am a victim of their failure." Su Liang said, "Since Lord Mu is here, please go to the Wu family and search!"
Mu Fei looked at Wu Yun, "This... Of course I don't believe that General Wu would do such a thing, but Su Liang is the victim. If I don't search, she will pour this basin of dirty water on General Wu's head."
Wu Yun's expression changed again and again, "I am upright and honest. If I didn't do it, I didn't do it! Lord Mu wants to search, please!"
Mu Fei nodded, "Okay." After speaking, he glanced at Chang'an.
Chang'an shouted loudly, and a moment later, a team of fully armed soldiers rode over, and the formation overwhelmed the people of the Wu family.
Wu Yun's hand trembled. He thought Mu Fei only brought two followers...
Mu Fei explained, "General Wu, please don't worry. These soldiers were specially dispatched to rescue Master Wu after I learned that he was held hostage. Now they are just helping with the search. If the search is finished soon, Master Wu will be fine."
Wu Yun's forehead was obviously sweaty, and his face turned pale.
Su Liang was captured by Wu Yun on his own initiative, which neither she nor Mu Fei could have predicted.
But what happened later seemed like a conspiracy between Su Liang and Mu Fei, but they had no chance to discuss it at all!
Before Mu Fei came, Su Liang didn't mention the missing girl case at all, and now Wu Yun was caught off guard! He thought that Mu Fei came, he explained, and the matter was over, and it was impossible for him to let Mu Fei in. But at this moment, things had developed out of his control.
Mu Fei continued, "General Wu, please call all the people in the mansion out first to avoid conflicts."
Wu Yun nodded subconsciously. He wanted to go in person, but it seemed strange, so he ordered the housekeeper.
"Chang'an, take people to help." Mu Fei ordered.
The housekeeper of the Wu Mansion entered the door, followed by Chang'an and a team of soldiers.
Not long after, servants came out of the mansion one after another.
While waiting, Mu Fei again proposed that Su Liang release Wu Huaian, but Su Liang still refused.
Mu Fei then comforted Wu Yun with a helpless look, "Don't worry, General Wu, she will have nothing to say after the search."
Su Liang reminded Mu Fei, "Lord Mu, you must search carefully. Young Master Wu told me personally that he would take me to a good place tonight. I suspect that there is a secret room and a secret passage in the Wu family."
Mu Fei nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I will investigate it carefully and will not allow you to slander the meritorious ministers who have made contributions to the country."
"Master, the servants of the Wu family are out." Chang'an said.
"Okay. Start the search, don't miss any place, pay attention to whether there are secret rooms with mechanisms, otherwise Miss Su will not give up." Mu Fei sighed, "But be careful, don't damage the things in General Wu's house, I will have to pay for it."
"Yes!" Chang'an took the order, and with a command, he rushed into the Wu family with elite soldiers.
These are not ordinary soldiers, but those brought by Mu Fei from the capital. And Chang'an knew very well what the target of the search was.
Mu Fei did not go in, and there was a guard standing behind him.
Wu Huaian's wheelchair was next to him, and Mu Fei asked Wu Yun, "I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and I'm a little tired. Can I sit for a while?"
Wu Yun nodded with a dark face.
Mu Fei sat in the wheelchair and chatted with Su Liang, "You are missing, and Mr. Ning must be very worried. Do you want me to send someone to tell him that you are here?"
Su Liang shook her head, "No."
In fact, she also felt strange. Ning Jing should be able to guess that her accident was related to the Wu family. She thought Ning Jing would appear, but there was no trace of him.
However, Su Liang did not expect Ning Jing to save her. The drug she was drugged this time was a weakness that needed to be made up for later. She could still deal with the rest by herself.
"Do you know the consequences of slandering an official appointed by the court?" Mu Fei asked.
Su Liang looked calm, "I am the victim, and General Wu and his son are indeed suspects, otherwise Lord Mu would not have gone to search, how can it be called slander?"
Mu Fei sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so bold."
"Lord Mu didn't expect many things, such as General Wu and his son are beasts with human faces and beast hearts." Su Liang snorted coldly.
Mu Luo shook his head and sighed, saying nothing.
It sounds like Su Liang was always the one being aggressive, while Mu Luo always wanted to smooth things over, and the search was forced by Su Liang.
"Why is General Wu sweating? It's not hot today!" Su Liang looked serious.
Wu Yun remained calm and silent.
Mu Luo carried Wu Yun behind his back and gave Su Liang an appreciative look, thinking that she was really smart.
Su Liang never let Wu Huaian go to ensure her safety and prevent Wu Yun from killing her.
For a veteran general, killing a civilian would not have serious consequences. All he had to do was make up an excuse, such as Su Liang wanting to kill his son. But when Mu Luo found out the dirty deeds behind his back, it was over.
Holding Wu Huaian's life in hand, he also ensured Mu Luo's safety. If Wu Yun jumped over the wall in a hurry, he might even take action against Mu Luo.
"Are you tired? Let Mr. Wu go?" Mu Luo expressed his intention to rescue Wu Huaian for the nth time.
Su Liang still had a cold face, "Don't let me go!"
She knew that Mu Luo was just acting for Wu Yun to see, so that the next thing would end well.
Now, the key lies in whether they can find other abducted girls from the Wu family, or their bodies, or the iron ore smuggling ledgers.
Any one of them can take down the Wu family and his son.
But if nothing is found, the Wu family and his son can easily get away with it based on Su Liang's accusation.
Su Liang believed that the Wu family must be hiding something shady. But seeing that Wu Yun seems to have regained his composure, it may be difficult to find the secret room of the Wu family...
Just as she was thinking this, Chang An hurriedly walked out.
Mu Luo immediately stood up and went to meet him. After hearing Chang An whisper a few words in his ear, his expression changed, "Come here! Capture Wu Yun!"
Su Liang felt relieved, it seemed that he had really found something.
It was Mu Luo's secret guards who took action, the most powerful masters around him, to prevent Wu Yun from escaping.
Wu Yun naturally refused to be captured without mercy, but he led troops to guard the mine, and there were not many soldiers at home.
After a fight, Wu Yun was led to kneel in front of Mu Luo, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, "No matter what you find, it's all framed!"
Mu Luo's face was as dark as water, "I have solved six mysterious cases of missing women in Bei'an County in the past three years. The evidence is conclusive. I will report to the emperor today!"
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince! Someone is framing me and Huaian! What happened today is all a conspiracy!" Wu Yun said in a deep voice. At this point, Mu Luo's identity had to be revealed.
Mu Luo snorted, "Last night, General Wu secretly drugged and knocked out Ning Jing, the foster sister of Bei'an County Courthouse, and took her home. This is what you personally admitted, and you invited me here, in your home." An unidentified woman was found in the secret room, bones were buried in the back garden, and there were obscene pictures drawn by Wu Huaian. You can argue and see if Father will believe you!"
When Wu Yun heard this, he fell to the ground, his face ashen.
Su Liang was surprised. Ordinarily, the shameless behavior of Wu Yun and Wu Huaian and his son should be hidden very deep, otherwise Wu Yun would have run away long ago.
It didn't take long for Mu Luo's subordinates to find witness evidence scattered everywhere, as accurate as if the Wu family had an insider.
Su Liang didn't ask, but when Mu Luo looked over, he finally let go of the strings in his hand, and Wu Huaian fell to the ground.
"Can I leave?" Su Liang asked.
Mu Luo nodded, "I'll send someone to take you home."
"Thank you, Master Mu." Su Liang said. She believed that after Mu Luo took action, Wu Yun and Wu Huaian and his son would not survive, and what happened next would have nothing to do with her.
"Go and see Miss Su off," Mu Luo whispered to Chang'an, "see if Ningjing is at home."
Chang'an understood, found a carriage, and asked Su Liang to get on.
Mu Luo watched them leave, then turned to look at the plaque of the Wu family with cold eyes, "Wu Yun, if there is anything else you need to do, please tell me as soon as possible. Maybe you can avoid the end of losing your descendants!"
…
Su Liang took a nap, the carriage stopped, and she had arrived home.
Chang'an went to knock on the door, and Ningjing appeared at the door a moment later, cold and indifferent, still the same.
"Miss Su, please go back quickly, I'm leaving!" Changan glanced at Ningjing and drove away without asking anything.
Su Liang closed the door from the inside, looked at Ning Jing's back as he returned to his room, and frowned, "I'm missing, so you just stay at home and pretend nothing happened?"
She didn't feel that Ningjing had to save her, but should she be so indifferent? At least they are friends, right? Not even a question?
Ning Jing turned around, looked at Su Liang, and said two words, "I'm here."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Where are you?"
"When you were cutting the strings in the Wu family, I was in the rockery next to you. After you took Wu Huaian out, I looked for the secret room and evidence in the Wu family." Ning Jing looked calm, "I came back secretly, which is faster than you taking a car. , so Changan saw me at home."
Su Liang suddenly realized, "No wonder they found the irrefutable evidence so quickly. You found it first and then deliberately exposed it for them to discover!"
"I said, before you leave, I will watch you." Ning Jing's eyes fell on Su Liang's finger that was injured by the string, and her beautiful brows frowned slightly.
Su Liang's lips curled up slightly, and he bowed, "Great God, please accept my worship."
