The daily struggles of divorced women in ancient times

After Manxiu went down, Xia Mianwan asked Qian Da, "Manxiu was brought out by you. I think it will alert the enemy. Cen Erlang is a fool. But it has been so long and there has never been a single rumor. This is very strange. I am afraid that Manxiu being brought out by you will alert the Cen family. Can you sneak into the Cen family and go to the yard that Manxiu mentioned to see if the body has been moved?"

Qian Da was confident in his skills. He nodded and said, "Madam, this is no problem. But how do you want to bring this up?"

Xia Mianwan thought for a moment and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Qian Da, you should send someone to guard it first. Don't let anyone destroy the body. I will think about how to make it absolutely safe."

"Yes!" Qian Da took the order, found a few trusted brothers, and went out together.

"Ruzhu, go and ask Manxiu carefully again, and try to find the common points in Cen Erlang's killings. For example, when does Cen Erlang go crazy, what kind of weather is it, and what kind of things does he encounter that make him go crazy? You have to ask more carefully, this is very important." Xia Mianwan explained carefully.

Although Ruzhu felt a little disgusted, he also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he quickly followed the order and went to find Manxiu.

In fact, this was just like a sleepy cat meeting a pillow. If they started with the incident of Cen Erlang, the blow to the Cen family would be even greater. Xia Mianwan overturned her previous plan, and now the initiative is in her hands.

Late at night, Qian Da returned home. The backyard was still safe for the time being. They dug and found that there were indeed piles of bones buried in the mud in the yard.

Xia Mianwan asked Qian Da's people to keep a close eye on the Cen family and Cen Erlang.

There are also results from Manxiu. Xia Mianwan's guess was correct. Cen Erlang would easily go crazy when he saw blood on a dark rainy night. The symptoms would not be so crazy if it didn't rain.

It's a pity that Xia Mianwan can't read the sky...

Since I don't know how to read the weather, I can only choose the stupid way. There is still a lot of rain in Xiyang at this time of year, so Xia Mianwan plans to wait and see. If it doesn't rain within three days, Xia Mianwan will force it.

Xia Mianwan asked someone to prepare a few chickens and a pig, ready at any time. Originally, Xia Mianwan planned to use cinnabar, but the blood made of cinnabar has no fishy smell, and Xia Mianwan was afraid that it would be exposed and affect the plan.

Xia Mianwan got up and looked at the night sky. There was no star, not even the moon. Maybe the east wind would come tomorrow. Xia Mianwan sent a letter to Pei Yanxu. According to the original plan, Pei Yanxu was not allowed to appear in public. However, this is a different time. At that time, Pei Yanxu really had to perform the play.

Pei Yanxu hurried back to the city after receiving Xia Mianwan's letter. He didn't expect that the Cen family was involved in so many deaths. He gritted his teeth and said in anger: "No matter what, Cen Erlang's life... I want it."

At one o'clock in the evening, there was a violent wind. Soon, there were lightning and thunder outside the window. Xia Mianwan and Pei Yanxu smiled at each other, with trust in their eyes.

"I'll ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite snacks. Come back early and I'll wait for you." Xia Mianwan said with a smile. With Pei Yanxu here, she doesn't need to show up in this situation today. Pei Yanxu only needs to catch the person and today's mission will be completed.

"Okay." Pei Yanxu said, turned around and led his people out of the Pei Mansion.

The wind and rain were too strong, and Manxiu was tortured by the thunder and couldn't sleep. This was Cen Erlang's inner demon, and it was also her inner demon. Rumeng had been guarding Manxiu in the outer room. When she heard Manxiu's scream, she hurried into the inner room and lit the oil lamp, "Manxiu, Manxiu."

Manxiu came to her senses and found that her whole body was shaking.

"Can't sleep? Or are you having a nightmare?" Rumeng lent a hand and helped Manxiu up.

After Manxiu stood up, she realized that her body was covered in sweat. "Sister Rumeng, there are many nights like this."

Manxiu's words were incoherent, but Rumeng knew what he was talking about. She patted Manxiu on the back and said, "Before I followed Madam, I also lived a dark life. I had no future and no idea what my past was. But after I met Madam, everything was good. God saw that I was having a hard time and gave me a hand. Manxiu, the same goes for you. You will have a good life in the future."

Manxiu cried softly under Rumeng's gentle words. When the crying subsided, Manxiu raised her head and said, "Sister Rumeng, you are right. Everything will be fine from now on."

Rumeng looked at Manxiu's determined eyes, as if she saw herself back then.

"The master is out. Maybe he will be interrogated today. If you can't sleep, can we wait here for a while?" Rumeng asked as she helped Manxiu smooth the hair on her forehead.

"it is good."

……

Pei Yanxu asked Qian Da to sneak into Cen Erlang's yard and start a fight. Cen Erlang was already manic on the rainy night, and after smelling the blood, he became even more crazy. Man Yun was serving on the side, and was extremely scared when he saw Cen Erlang going crazy.

Cen Erlang stared at Manyun fiercely, his blood boiling. A voice in his heart kept shouting, Eat her, eat her!

Cen Erlang picked up Man Yun like a little chicken and walked into the heavy rain with Man Yun. He threw Man Yun in front of the plum tree with a wicked smile, with a boning knife at hand. Man Yun was terrified and screamed loudly. At this moment, Qian Da kicked Cen Erlang over, and the other followers followed to subdue Cen Erlang.

The remaining followers followed Qian Da to the abandoned backyard. Pei Yanxu got the signal and asked someone to knock on the door of the Cen family. For a moment, everyone in the Cen family was shocked.

Pei Yanxu took Cen Erlang directly to the yamen. The servants of the Cen family tried to stop them but failed, and they were all taken back to the yamen. As for Qian Da, he took people to dig up corpses in the abandoned backyard. They dug for the whole night. Even though Qian Da had seen a lot of things, his face changed when he saw the piles of corpses.

What a beast!

Mr. Cen was not awakened by his servants until Cen Erlang was arrested and taken to the yamen. Mrs. Cen was shocked and immediately sent someone to send a letter to Cen Dalang.

Mr. Cen couldn't help feeling annoyed when he saw Mrs. Cen crying.

"What should I do, Jilang?"

"A loving mother often spoils her son. If you hadn't indulged Erlang too much, this day wouldn't have happened." Master Cen said impatiently with a dark face.

Everything that happened tonight made him feel that something was wrong. Pei Yanxu came unexpectedly and the Cen family was caught off guard. This meant that Pei Yanxu had already been eyeing the Cen family.

Mr. Cen sighed and took out the red book and iron certificate from the secret room. For some reason, he always had a premonition that the wealth and prosperity of the Cen family... was coming to an end.

"Red-lettered iron certificate?" Mrs. Cen was horrified. Was the Red-lettered iron certificate going to be used this time?

"I'm afraid Pei Yanxu has come with bad intentions..." Master Cen sighed heavily while holding the red seal and iron certificate.
