Chapter 434 Burning the bridge across the river
Mu Sixiu did not show up rashly. He carefully hid in the dark, and waited until the man walked farther and farther away until he disappeared, then he slowly walked forward to find out what was going on. When he got closer, he was shocked to find that the woman still had a faint breath!
Feng Er's face was as pale as paper, and she was barely breathing. She opened her eyes with difficulty and pleaded with Mu Sixiu in a very weak voice:
"Please...save me..." The voice was as weak as her life which was about to end.
Mu Sixiu stared at the disheveled woman in front of him, frowning slightly, thinking secretly in his heart. Then, he asked mercilessly:
"Tell me, who was that man just now? Also, why did you secretly swap the letter from the prince to Ling Xiao?"
However, facing Mu Sixiu's series of sharp questions, the woman gritted her teeth and kept silent. She just looked at him with eyes full of hope and desire, and repeated again:
"Save me first..."
Feng Er always coveted life and the present moment, but she still held a glimmer of hope deep in her heart. She thought that as long as she kept her mouth shut, the other party would definitely not leave her to die in order to find out the truth. So she made up her mind to save her life first no matter what.
However, the facts proved that she was totally wrong! Mu Sixiu completely sneered at her self-righteous thoughts and didn't even bother to look at her.
Moreover, the thief's methods of committing the crime were extremely sophisticated and neat, leaving almost no trace. There were only a few people who were capable of so much and dared to sow discord in the Zhan Palace.
Thinking of this, Mu Sixiu felt that there was no need to waste his precious time and energy on this woman with ulterior motives. So, he chose to ignore her without hesitation and disappeared from her sight.
Feng'er watched Mu Sixiu's back gradually moving away until he disappeared. There was no room for any other emotion in her eyes except deep regret. Only death was waiting for her.
At the same time, Mousse was anxiously looking for the mysterious man on the bustling street. As he was looking around, suddenly, a familiar figure suddenly broke into his sight without any warning.
At this moment, a figure caught everyone's attention. It was Old Man Li who came to the capital with Ling Xiao and others to find his daughter. He was seen holding a heavy bag tightly in both hands, walking hurriedly, and looking extremely anxious.
Mu Sixu followed Old Man Li quietly without making a sound, moving lightly among the crowd, always keeping a certain distance from Old Man Li to avoid being discovered by him.
In this way, Mu Sixiu followed Old Man Li all the way to the Hua Family Courtyard. Old Man Li stood at the gate of the painter's courtyard, staring at the plaque that had been there for a long time, his eyes full of emotion and sadness.
Then, he looked at the weed-covered courtyard gate, tears welling up in his eyes. After a moment, he could no longer suppress his excitement, stretched out his hand to push open the half-closed door, and walked in quickly.
After entering the courtyard, Old Man Li walked through the courtyard with ease and went straight to the painter's ancestral hall. After arriving at the ancestral hall, Old Man Li carefully placed the bundle in his hand on the ground and then slowly opened it. He saw that there were some tablets in the bundle. He gently picked up the tablets and placed them neatly on the altar one by one.
After doing all this, Old Man Li seemed to have lost all his strength suddenly, and sat down heavily on the ground. Then, a low whimpering sound came out of his mouth, and the sound was full of endless sorrow and sadness, which made people feel sad...
At this time, Mu Sixu on the roof opposite was puzzled. Did this old man have any connection with the Hua family? Why did he come to the Hua family's yard and cry?
After crying, Old Man Li stood up and walked out of the ancestral hall and went to the inner room.
Maybe he was a former servant or housekeeper of the Hua family, otherwise why would he cry in front of the Hua family's tablet? Mu Sixiu thought about turning around and leaving, but at this moment, the man who had just killed Feng'er also appeared near the Hua family and walked in directly.
Could it be that they are really in the same group? Mu Sixiu immediately hid himself and observed secretly.
The man came to the secret room of the Hua family and searched inside for several times, but found nothing. Coincidentally, Old Man Li also disappeared inexplicably in the yard of the Hua family, as if there were other secret rooms here.
The man left the Hua family angrily, and Mu Sixiu followed him secretly...
Late at night, the sky was as dark as ink, and not a trace of moonlight could penetrate the thick clouds.
Outside the city, a dilapidated hut stood alone in the wilderness.
The house was filled with a stale and decayed smell, and the walls were covered with mottled cracks and cobwebs.
In this room, a burly man was lying on a simple bed, snoring loudly, sleeping as deeply as a dead pig. His snoring echoed throughout the room, as if it was going to shake down the shaky house.
