Chapter 207 The Neglected Executioner

 Half an hour later, the last man in black walked out of the imperial study room.

Emperor Yongchang leaned tiredly on the dragon chair behind him, his face still full of gloom under the candlelight.

 He wanted to see if all the handsome boys were really dead.

The third day of the third month of the lunar calendar is the Shangsi Festival in Xiliang.

Early in the morning, carriages were driving towards the outside of the city one after another.

Young men and young ladies from wealthy families often go on outings together to get a good omen at the beginning of the year.

Poor people who have no money will also walk along the streets in accordance with the solar terms.

Before midnight, all the streets in the main city were already crowded with people.

 The female members of the Hua family did get up early and gathered in the main hall, discussing where to relax today.

Not long after, the eldest daughter-in-law, the nanny from the courtyard of Ling Wei, walked in and said, "My eldest aunt said that the eldest lady is feeling a little unwell, so she won't go out with everyone today."

Hua Yuelian stood up uneasily after hearing this, "When did it happen and why did you send the message?"

Mammy glanced at Fan Qingyao obscurely, and then replied, "I said I had some abdominal pain in the morning. It's not a big problem."

 What Hua Yuelian was worried about was going to check.

 The return of her brothers is approaching, and at this time she has to take good care of everyone in the house.

Fan Qingyao took his mother's hand and said, "On the Si Festival, we have to rush early. If my mother is late, my aunts will also be late. Our Hua family just can't get this good luck." "Mom, go out with your aunts first, and I'll just go and see my eldest sister."

 Huayue Lian was still worried, but thinking about the gap between her sister-in-law and Yue Yaer, it would be a good thing if she could really take advantage of this opportunity to talk things out.

 “Then I’ll leave it to you.”

Fan Qingyao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, mother."

When the third daughter-in-law Peihan saw that Xiao Qingyao wanted to stay, she knew that there must be something going on inside. Naturally, she would not get in the way, so she just said insinuatingly, "Xiao Qingyao, just treat Xinying well. Don't worry, we will I will take good care of your mother.”

Fan Qingyao nodded, "Thank you, third aunt."

“We are all just polite.” Peihan, the third daughter-in-law, smiled and went out with everyone.

Fan Qingyao waited until everyone left in carriages, then turned and walked towards his yard.

The nanny who had just come to report hurriedly followed up, "Miss Qingyao, my aunt gave me a certain amount of money and a letter early this morning, and asked me to deliver it to a restaurant in half an hour."

Fan Qingyao calmly stopped and said, "Just follow my aunt's instructions and deliver the letter."

“But I need the old slave to keep an eye on me after delivering the letter?”

  “No need.”

Since that person has been able to hide behind his eldest sister-in-law for so long, he must be cautious.

There was no need for her to alert the enemy now.

Mammy nodded and hurried out of the door.

Ninghan, however, refused to give up and said, "Miss, if we don't let that nanny keep an eye on her, how will we know who that person is?"

Fan Qingyao faced the cool breeze and squinted his eyes slightly, "When you send a letter, there will be a reply. If there is communication, there must be a conspiracy. To catch a thief, you need to catch the stolen goods. This time, if you want to catch the person and get the stolen goods, no one can escape."

Ninghan nodded clearly and followed Fan Qingyao into the courtyard.

Fan Qingyao was not idle either. He returned to the room and wrote down a prescription and handed it to Ninghan, "Send it to Qingnangzhai and let Yueluo cook three doses of this prescription every day, before three meals a day." Send someone to the house and be sure not to attract other people’s attention by going through the back door.”

Thieves need to be caught, and people who are watching eagerly must also be on guard.

 In three days, the soldiers from Huaishang will arrive at the main city.

I'm afraid that the person in the palace will also do something...

 Fortunately, there is still time.

Mammy who left the mansion in the western suburbs delivered the letter from her eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei to the restaurant according to Fan Qingyao's instructions.

The eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei was waiting in the yard, but she didn't get any reply for a long time.

In the room, the eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei was sitting uneasily and could even tremble when she took a breath. Xinying was so annoyed that she frowned and said, "Mom, what are you afraid of? The Lu family has already been arrested and taken to the county government office. This matter has been over a long time ago, eh..."

The eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei covered Xinying's mouth and looked out the window. She was relieved when she saw no one, "My little ancestor, please keep your voice down. You really want everyone to know it's you." Are you happy because of the smile?"

Xinying rolled her eyes, "What's wrong with me pushing her? She deserves it. I'm afraid she knows she's wrong, so she doesn't dare to talk to that little **** Fan Qingyao."

Hearing this, the eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei became even more frightened.

Even if the Lu family was really frightened and panicked by the Yamen people and forgot to confess Xinying, Xiaoyan would definitely not know who pushed her.

 However, it has been several days since I woke up with a smile, but the house is still peaceful.

If the old lady was still in charge of the Hua family, she would naturally not be afraid and would have a way to fool her. But when she thought of Fan Qingyao, whose eyes were as sharp as knives and could not rub a grain of sand into his eyes, the eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei was so scared. The liver and gallbladder tremble.

When the eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei looked at Xinying's face, she could tell how hard Fan Qingyao's slap was.

 So she must strike preemptively this time, and she must not let Fan Qingyao lead their mother and daughter away again!

 A letter suddenly floated into the house through the window lattice.

The eldest daughter-in-law Ling Wei quickly looked around and saw a dark shadow running out of the yard.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Ling Wei, shivered with fright for a while before she opened the letter in her hand in a panic.

After a long while, she threw the letter into the candlestick, and a trace of settled viciousness flashed in Ben's panicked eyes.

Fan Qingyao…

 I think you’re not dead this time!

When the second watch rang, Fan Qingyao, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

She stood up suddenly and sat on the bed, breathing heavily. The **** scenes in her dream were still in her mind.

Fan Qingyao dreamed of his uncles being swallowed up by fire in his previous life, the cruelty of his grandfather's limbs being torn apart by wild dogs, the humiliation of his grandmother being hung in front of the city gate in public display...

Two lives have passed, but the scene after scene is still so clearly visible and dripping with blood.

At that time, Fan Qingyao only hated Baili Rongze for his insidiousness, but ignored that Baili Rongze, thanks to her achievements, had moved closer to Emperor Yongchang step by step, and was reused, valued, and nurturing.

If Baili Rongze in the previous life was the executioner who killed the entire Hua family, then Emperor Yongchang was the one who taught Baili Rongze how to pick up the butcher's knife!

 Baili Rongze Mingzhu threatened her with the entire Hua family to hand over the medical classics, but in fact he was just looking for a reason to get rid of the Hua family, which the royal family had always been afraid of.

so…

In this life, she stopped Baili Rongze, but ignored Emperor Yongchang.

A rush of footsteps sounded outside the door.

Soon, I saw Ning Han running in out of breath, "Miss, Brother Fan's men just sent news that they saw the figures of Xiliang soldiers at the Thirty Mile Pavilion outside the main city."

 Thirty Mile Pavilion…

 In this case, the army will be able to reach the main city gate early tomorrow morning!

too fast.

 It was actually two days earlier than expected!

I am afraid that this is the person who secretly gave the order to the army returning to the city, hoping to catch the Hua family by surprise.

 Hurry leads to wisdom and chaos.

Only in this way can that person see what he really wants to see in Huajia.

 “Suppress the news and don’t let anyone know. Everything in the government remains as usual.”

Since the man wanted to see it so much, she did it for him.

 Suddenly, the sound of footsteps sounded again from far to near.

This time it was Nanny Xu, "Miss, the nun in the yard over my aunt just received news that my aunt secretly went out through the back door a quarter of an hour ago!"
